- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Per WP:NOR. No sources whatsoever, appears to be a guide of sorts. Swordman97 (talk) 23:02, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This was nominated for deletion less than six hours after it was created. I think it has potential and should be given time to improve. As to notability, a cursory search turns up thousands of journal articles and tens of thousands of books. Here are some books you could use as sources: Working Guide to Drilling Equipment and Operations, Structure and Performance of Cements, Standard Handbook of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering, Well Cementing, and Well Cementing. Papers include Well Cementing Techniques in East Sichuan, Oil-Well Cementing, An Investigation of Oil-Well Cementing, Cementing Oil and Gas Wells, Part 3, Chemical Shrinkage of Oil Well Cement Slurries. Also, I seem to remember a certain oil spill for which faulty well cementing was responsible.[1] Let's get writing. Braincricket (talk) 02:01, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A technical subject that is important to oil, water, gas and geothermal drilling, and should be well-referenced in technical literature. Thie article needs improvement and should be referenced and copyedited rather than deleted. Acroterion (talk) 20:59, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. It always amazes me (although I suppose it shouldn't, given the demographics of Wikipedia editors) how the minutiae of the software industry are nearly always unquestioned as acceptable topics for articles but major topics in other industries are questioned. We don't (or, at least shouldn't) delete articles on topics that have been the subject of books from mainstream publishers. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to Well cementing This is a major topic in the news right now, associated with fracking. A search on [fracking "well cementing"] gives this as the first ref. Even though the nomination is not for notability, nominators should look for sources before starting an AfD discussion. The tens of thousands of sources found by the first editor to try to look for sources is not a surprise. Unscintillating (talk) 01:12, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Slenderman's Shadow maps section was removed two days later, but the content is visible in the page history. User:Joshdavies747 wrote the entire article without contributions from others. I suggest moving the page to Talk:Slender: The Eight Pages/Mansion per WP:Merge and delete#Move to subpage of talk page. WP:Merge and delete#Record authorship and delete history would also work.

Not a notable actor. His most notable role was a very small one. Article is also unsourced. JDDJS (talk) 21:45, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I checked a variety of internet sites and found this actor has had about six bit parts or minor roles. To be notable, this actor would need to have quite a number of bit or minor roles or one or two major film or television roles. Also, the article does not have much biographical material, of which at least some exists. If this actor expands on his acting experience in the future, an article would be justified.Bill Pollard (talk) 12:23, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I've added information and sources to the article. Some sources use the original spelling of his name, Sjögren, and the article on his wife, Tina Sjögren, gave a better account of how unusual their achievements are and had more references. There is in my judgement adequate coverage of their expeditions to justify an article. He also co-founded a website that collects and verifies data on expeditions and is thus frequently quoted in the press as an expert. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:14, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong delete I don't agree with the nom's rationale being one-sided. Being one-sided is not a valid criterion for deletion, that's a WP:SOFIXIT issue. This article is, however, something that could have been speedied per A7. Article was created and edited by a single-purpose user. It's borderline adverising and I'd wager it's personal fluffery.

- Comment. In fairness, the article is a bit out of date, and this is now a chain with stores in Tucson, Phoenix, Albuquerque, and Chicago, and some indicia of local notability in Arizona, at least.[2][3][4][5][6] That may not be enough to get to notability, yet, but it's not quite as small or local a business as may have appeared.--Arxiloxos (talk) 21:16, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As was said above, this is no longer just a local shop. This company is not large, but it has two shops in Arizona, one in New Mexico and one in Illinois. Also, it has gotten some decent reviews. One in the Trip Advisor website should be noted, in particular. This company is as notable as many small companies in Wikipedia and they, too, should have articles.Bill Pollard (talk) 01:23, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.—Chowbok ☠ 16:43, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS rule does not apply here. The internet clearly has a significant amount of newer material on this subject. The problem is the article's author needs to use this material to update the article.Bill Pollard (talk) 12:48, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If I can interject for a second, I just wanted to state that you should never rely on other editors to add content or sources to an article. It looks like someone added it, but if you find sources that show notability for an article you should always WP:BEBOLD and add it yourself. Never assume someone else will do the work for you.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:53, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I checked a few links - they seem to be variable and the awards are a bit puffed up, but it is evident that this has become significant franchise chain and should be kept. I started editing but it seemed futile if the article is to be deleted. If not, I will come back and edit. Kooky2 (talk) 21:13, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete: There is significant coverage in independent, reliable sources here, but the other cited examples are merely WP:ROUTINE and hence this fails WP:CORPDEPTH. It also fails WP:GNG, which requires multiple independent sources and significant coverage. The coverage that does exist, moreover, is in a regional publication not national or international in scope, which is preferred but not required under CORPDEPTH. I did a search and could not find any additional sources to cite that would enhance its position under the GNG or CORPDEPTH. I think it's likely that there will be further significant coverage in the future and it could then warrant an article, but that's WP:CRYSTAL. --Batard0 (talk) 08:49, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- keep: I find myself hanging in the balance on this one but overall I'm inclined to keep. For some reason I like this page more than I should like a page that is just about an ice cream parlour in Tuscan. I see the reason for concern about being promotional, but there seems to be notability with the awards and the information does have some good references. Fireflo (talk) 11:59, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Four locations do not make this a notable chain. Had it been larger, I'd agree with keeping it, but there are lots and lots of food businesses which are larger that most people here would probably agree are not notable. --Nlu (talk) 16:19, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There are three short but probably acceptable articles from the Arizona Daily Star, and one from the Tuscon Citizen, and a few local awards. If there was just a little bit more coverage outside the local area, it would be enough to keep. But I scraped every news and book database I have and found nothing, and nothing in specialized business databases like ABI/INFORM Trade & Industry. ReferenceUSA has a routeine phone book listing but nothing more. The company and its founders also can't claim any genuine innovations or influence on their field; their notability is only that they're pretty good at what they do and moderately successful. Close, but not quite enough. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:37, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to University Centre at Blackburn College#Students' Union because it's a possible search term.

- Delete: fails WP:CORPDEPTH as coverage has been limited to WP:ROUTINE. The one article that goes beyond routine in Techcrunch says the company was "randomly selected" for coverage. On that basis, this ought not to be considered. I did a search and couldn't come up with any significant coverage of the company outside of routine announcements about products, etc. --Batard0 (talk) 08:15, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - covered in depth by independent, reliable sources, thus meeting WP:N. Coverage cannot be construed as "routine", except in the "It's routine to cover the goings-on at notable companies". WilyD 08:40, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: WilyD, if there is in-depth coverage by independent, reliable sources, can you add them into the page, because currently notability has not been established. I'm inclined to agree with the proposal to delete unless you can come up with the kind of source support that Batard0 has suggested. Fireflo (talk) 12:06, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be a pretty POV and completely unsourced essay. I'm not excluding that the title may (remotely) describe a topic that is notable, but its contents (and probably the title as well) seem to need WP:TNT. Tijfo098 (talk) 18:34, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hebanon is not a word, the only occurrence is in Shakespeare, where the word is "Hebona". This page appears to be the result of a typo in the Hamlet quote. Edmund Blackadder (talk) 17:32, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, surprisingly. I wouldn't think that there would be much room for expansion for an article on a Shakespearean hapax legomenon, but it seems I may be wrong. Searches of both books and scholarly articles reveals that a strangely large amount of attention has been paid to this one-off plant reference, in everything from language studies to a 1950 article in The Journal of Laryngology & Otology to more recent botany and medicine journals. Even today, there's evidently quite a bit of open debate on the topic. As for the hebona/hebenon distinction and the proper title for the article, the former appears in the Quartos, the latter in the Folios. Hebenon seems rather more common in the analytical literature, however. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 19:11, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical article abour someone but with no claim to notabilty. She met some notable people, but notabilty doesn't rub off like that. Article claims she was a centenarian - not in itself rare these days - in fact she died aged 109, so not even notable there. Emeraude (talk) 11:03, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Possible redirect to List of centenarians (miscellaneous) - The article never indicates her significance aside from her 100+ age but Google News archives provided enough to support a redirect. Regarding the article's current sources, the first reference (rte.ie) hardly mentions details aside from becoming "the oldest woman in the world to receive a university degree", which may be notable, but I believe this would be insufficient. The second reference appears to be a dead link, possible due to a URL error. Google News archives Ireland provided much of the same references but a few of them are different. However, what concerns me about the redirect is that the article never mentions her actual occupation aside from small jobs such as housekeeper. SwisterTwister talk 20:01, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or Rewrite Searching for 新郑东站, it seems it is used as an alternative name for the Zhengzhou gaotie station, which formally speaking is 郑州东站 and already has an article Zhengzhou East Railway Station. Easy to see the confusion, as many HSR stations have the "xin" prefix.
On the other hand, 新郑火车站 (Google maps link) is a real station, but in the older Jingguang railroad, not Shiwu HSR. It's a fairly old station (1905), clearly notable for being in a major city in a major railway line.

- Xinzheng East (新郑东站) is the name of the Xinzheng station, it is not the Zhengzhou station. Built in 1976, according to Baidu, which is by no means reliable - where did you get 1905 from? Also, I believe Shiwu line is part of the Jingguang line, so no contradiction there. Kraikk (talk) 07:37, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep Okay, da capo. When you search for 新郑东站 石武 高铁, there appears a largish number of discussion groups, blogs etc using the term. If you read them, it seems that they are making a mistake, using 新郑东站 for the Zhengzhou gaotie station, which is officially Zhengzhou dong. The mistake probably comes from the "xin" used in many gaotie stations (those posts are probably not by Henan locals, so unfamiliar with Xinzheng as a location). My guess is that the creator of the article made the same mistake. It doesn't matter. It is a mistake to say that Xinzheng Dong is a shiwu HSR station.
Now, a separate issue. Xinzheng Station and/or Xinzheng East station (Found 1905 date for Xinzheng station in a not-super-reliable source. Not sure if Xinzheng East is a separate newer station, a relocation of the old station, or an alternative name) are real stations of the Jingguang line (which is a distinct and separate line from the Shiwu HSR, running on its own rails, although the two lines are sort of parallel. Shiwu line is part of the "Jingguangshengang" HSR line, which is often called the Jingguang PDL. It is rather confusing). I thought Xinzheng was just a suburb of Zhengzhou, but it doesn't matter if it is a fully separate entity. I think the general consensus is that all stations of a major railway line are notable (and will generally get mentioned often in third-party materials). I am, however, not sure whether this is true. IF that's the case, it may be okay to keep the article and just change the information to fit the facts of Xinzheng East station. Xinzheng East (Jingguang line) station may also be notable in its own right, of course. I just noticed there is an ethnography book about it, when you search for it in English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.166.7.155 (talk) 12:30, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- You need to understand that meeting WP:GNG can usually be done with 3-4 sources. Ref-spamming your article like you have today, does not help your cause. No-one is going to trawl through 50 badly-formatted references in the hope of finding one or two good ones. You are making it almost impossible for other editors to make an educated judgement about the article. You might think that by adding dozens and dozens of "references" that other editors will just "assume" WP:GNG has ben met and will consider the article worth keeping. They won't because you have to demonstrate that you have met the WP:BURDEN of proof and white-washing the article with rubbish "references" is not the way to do so. Would strongly suggest you have a read of WP:COI, WP:SPA, WP:OWN and WP:MOS by the way. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 04:56, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Little Lucknow (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)
This AfD is sort of a complicated one. Individually, the article for Little Lucknow and for Nitya Prakash are not notable enough for individual articles. I had done some marked improvements to the author's article and redirected the book page to the author's article because together, they formed enough of an article to where I could justify leaving it despite twinges of guilt over some of the sources on the author's article not really passing RS. HOWEVER, the edits have been reverted with the justification that I was not to do any changes to the article whatsoever without any full conversations on the article talk page, essentially telling me that I was not allowed to make any changes or make any redirects. Now the reason I'm listing this here is because the notability for either article was still fairly shaky even after merging the two together. I'd like to get a consensus on this, also because there's a language barrier. The biggest issue here is that the book is decidedly non-notable despite the "sources" on the page. Before anyone says "clearly notable, look at the sources", I'll list as to why most of them are non-usable. I'm listing Prakash with this because quite frankly, he has an equally big problem with sourcing. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:15, 9 October 2012 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages for the reasons stated above:[reply]
- Nitya Prakash (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Here's a rundown of the sourcing for Little Lucknow:
- [23] This appears to be user submitted, not written by anyone actually on the news staff. Per parts of the site, anyone can submit their own news article, so it's very easy for anyone to submit an article. Such user submitted content is rarely to never usable as a reliable source and we know nothing about the submitter's qualifications. Nine times out of ten, when I've found links of this nature, it's by someone that is somehow involved with the author or the author's publisher. Not saying that's the case here, but I don't see where this is reliable. I left it on the author's article despite having concerns of reliability.
- [24] Scribido Magazine doesn't appear to be notable or reliable per Wikipedia's guidelines. It's also one of those sites where anyone can join up and publish articles. It looks to be sort of a social media-esque site. At the most this could be something under EL, but not much else.
- [25] Another article where the site doesn't seem reliable per Wikipedia's guidelines. I also want to note that the sections of this are almost identical to how the article for Prakash was originally written before I revised it, meaning that odds are it was written by the same people who wrote the WIkipedia article in an attempt to publicize the author.
- [26] Spectral Hues is not a reliable source, being a non-notable book site. At the most, this could be listed under EL.
- [27] This is one of the few articles that could be seen as somewhat reliable, which is why I left it on the author's article.
- [28] Now before anyone says "hey, this is CNN", it's not. It's iCNN, which is a place where anyone can submit a blog entry and these entries are not vetted by CNN. If they're very, very lucky it might be selected for coverage, which this wasn't. In this past using iCNN has been a trick some have used to try to bolster sources by creating their own articles (or getting others to create them) and using them as sources. This is not reliable in any stretch of the word.
- [29] This is a press release, and press releases are not usable as reliable sources ever since they're released by the author or publisher.
- [30] This is another one of those sources that could actually be used as a RS. It looks to be relatively legit.
- [31] Non-notable book blog review, which are not usable as a reliable source except in very rare and extreme circumstances.
- Now this is the rundown of the current sources on the article for the book. As it is, there's really not a lot to use on the author's article as it is. We really only have about two sources that could somewhat be usable as RS, ([32], [33]). That is not enough to show notability for the book.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:15, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Now as far as the author goes, the only source not listed above is this one: [34] I had left it on the author's page, but this is just a video of him giving a lecture. It's not news coverage of him. It's not an article about him. It's just a video of him giving a lecture. When you get down to it, there's only two sources to show any sort of notability and that's not enough to pass WP:GNG in any format, whether it's for a person or a book. I figured that it'd just be better to bring it here and let it get hashed out in AfD. There were a lot of other links on the original content of the author's article, none of which showed notability in the slightest, being either IMDb-esque listings for non-notable films, links to Goodreads, links to non-notable blog entries, links to various dodgy sites... none of the links showed the slightest bit of notability, although anyone curious can see the original state of the article here: [35] There was also a big problem with neutrality and promotional speak with the original format of the author's article and that exists now on the book article. Neither article is notable enough and since I'm sort of getting my hand pushed, I'm nominating them as I probably should've done in the first place.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:20, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an encyclopedia article. It has only one source, a dictionary, and that is exactly where this content belongs: a dictionary. There is nothing encyclopedic to say about this topic.

- Can you give a few examples of the references in the Thai language article that support notability? (I trust you did check that they do so, and did not simply assume that, because there's a large number of them, they must show notability.) I have looked at a sample of them, with the aid of Google translation, and I am not convinced. There's this FaceBook page, which without even bothering with a translation, does not look remotely as though it would show notability, even if it were a reliable source, which of course it isn't. Then there's another FaceBook page. Then there's this one, which is not about Pakorn Chatborirak, and mentions him only in an incidental capacity. There are pages like this one, which may be a reliable source, but it's not clear to me that it is. And we have things like this, which at present is a dead link, so it's impossible to assess how much notability it would have conferred. I am willing to believe that there may be suitable sources, and if there are then I will happily withdraw the nomination, but you need to specify what they are, not just say that there are "a host" of them, without actually pointing to any of them.

Non notable singer. No coverage at all beyond social networks etc. Fails WP:NOTABLE among others. Harry the Dog WOOF 10:44, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I think one shall not shrug off social networks as they do posess some significance nowadays. However, I would require references, still. So unless reliable references are provided I shall stick with"delete". CeesBakker (talk) 11:02, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I agree that social networks and even blogs can have provide a bit of support proving the subject is known. However, I scanned the internet and came up with nothing but social networks and video sites. If this singer gets significant critical reviews, news coverage, etc., in the future I would support having an article on him. Also, I think any article about a personality needs considerably more biographical info than appears here.Bill Pollard (talk) 11:13, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete on the merits; Bill has it, I think. If there were notability here, we'd be seeing more coverage about the artist, and that's missing. Usual Caveats apply, of course; it's early in this young man's career, and it's possible (even likely) that he will get a big break and become fully notable. In that case, an article would certainly be warranted. But he's not there yet. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 19:28, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:LISTN--the topic of "returning coaches" is often discussed in primary media outlets such as ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc. A good number of articles on Wikipedia link to this list. The list is indeed uniquque as no other list or article on Wikipedia contains this information. List clearly passes tests described per WP:DISCRIMINATE essay and the definition of "discriminate" in Wiktionary. Inclusion in the list is clearly defined in the list header and it is very specific.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:40, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- — Note to closing admin: Paulmcdonald (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. —Bagumba (talk) 02:40, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I disagree...I don't think it passes WP:LISTN as none of the sources in the article establish that this is a topic that receives widespread independent coverage. Additionally, per WP:NOTSTATSBOOK, under what Wikipedia is not, I think that this would be characterized under criterion 3 which discourages excessive listings of statistics. Thus, I would conclude that this topic does not have sufficient notability and probably should be deleted. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:46, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Several Responses
- While the list is far from complete and sources are not all provided, it is more than reasonable to assume that any news article about a returning coach would cover that the coach is "returning" such as Bill Snyder Returns and is continued to be brought up later on such as in this article among many others on Bill Snyder.
- Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. N/A List format, although long, is not confusing and does not reduce readability. The list is very neat.
- In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader. DONE header is clear and when possible, notes are included.
- In cases where this may be necessary... consider using tables to enhance the readability of lengthy data lists. DONE tables are used.
The first point covers the notability question, the second through fourth cover "criterion 3" of WP:NOTSTATSBOOK.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:24, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Several Responses to your responses
- Where is it established, specifically that this is a notable topic via "multiple, independent sources"?
- Frankly, much of this is unsourced. Where are sources to substantiate all of this content?
- I'll stipulate to you having addressed the WP:NOTSTATSBOOK issues for the most part, but I still have a slight issue with the length of this article, especially the parts that are unsourced.
Note: I have no doubt that you created and it seems maintained this article in good faith and I apologize if my issue-raising has made it sound otherwise, but I have serious, legitimate concerns to verifiability and relevance. Go Phightins! (talk) 02:30, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:AGF no problems. That's the way it's supposed to work.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:54, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can anyone identify the sources that establish WP:LISTN, namely that "it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources"? A source that only discusses one coach would not meet this criteria.—Bagumba (talk) 02:40, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Google search on "returning coaches" gives around 14,800 hits. Of course it's not conclusive, but it's a place to start.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Except this list is not about generic "returning coaches", it's about ones with non-consecutive tenure. With all due respect to WP:BEFORE, it will be an easier decision to keep if specific sources that establish LISTN are identified.—Bagumba (talk) 03:31, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WOAH... back up.... What could possibly be the differnece between "returning coaches" and "coaches with non-consecutive tenure" ???--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:16, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Returning coaches could mean that they are returning for their xth season (e.g., Brady Hoke returns for his second season at Michigan. Go Phightins! (talk) 02:27, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly. The first hit at [37] is about coaches returning from the previous season at Penn St. The search term is too broad for this list.—Bagumba (talk) 02:41, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Try a less broad one: +"college football coach" +"second tenure" yields around 1,100. Some are Wikipedia pages.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:39, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I usually limit searches to news hits to ensure they are reliable sources. The hits each appear to talk about an individual coach as opposed to the group as a whole as required by LISTN.

WP:ILIKEIT !votes, with no evidence to-date that the group, not just the individuals, have been discussed in reliable sources to meet LISTN.—Bagumba (talk) 20:03, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]- That was pretty crass and far from the truth.

- Delete I don't think the fact that not all entries are sourced matters for the purpose of this discussion. Obviously you can find sources for all of them. I think the key point here is that there are no RSs that talk about the category of coaches with non-consecutive terms.

- And here Heisman Pundit "You Can’t Go Home Again" predicts negative results for coaches that return.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:25, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- All right, well this is a really short "blog-esque" post that lists a few coaches who came back, not really an assertion of notability to me. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:27, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You really think that USA Today = blog-esque ?? The second is a blog yes... by one of the people who vote for the Heisman winner every year. He should be qualified as well.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:53, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No, let me clarify, I meant the second one was, and I don't really think that that qualifies as much of a source because it comments that x probably won't do well because n, y, and z didn't without actually giving any information on n y or z.

- Per criterion 1 in WP:GNG, you think that these are more than "trivial mentions". I don't. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:54, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Per criterion 1: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." I would say that the content in the articles are clearly more than trivial, especially the USA Today entry and ESPN articles that have dedicated sections.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:04, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This espn article is definitely a trivial mention. The article is about one coach returning to a school and just happens to list other coaches that returned to a school. There is no discussion of coaches in general returning to schools and its effects. - 13:58, 1 October 2012 (UTC)X96lee15 (talk) 13:58, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I do not see evidence that this "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" as LISTN requires other than in passing or as a comparison. As a bit of OR, it might be an interesting cut at the coaching data, but OR is not permitted here, of course. And I don't see this as a useful navegational aid. Novaseminary (talk) 03:09, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see how WP:OR applies. From the OR page: The term "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist. Sources have been provided from USA Today, ESPN, and a prominent member of the sports community has expressed a public opinion on the matter--plus individual third party articles on the coaches have mentioned their inclusion. This isn't conjecture. The article cites reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented. The question doesn't seem to be if that was done, the question seems to be if that is enough for Notability.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:31, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The OR bit was an aside. If it were not OR it is more likely to pass N because it would have received at least some coverage as such. Regardless, it fails LISTN and is not a useful navigational aid. Novaseminary (talk) 04:34, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Please explain how it has not "received at least some coverage" in your view.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:27, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Just because sources have been cobbled together about "Coach X returns," that's not the same as sources about "The phenomenon of coaches returning to previous schools." The latter is what would be needed to justify this article.--GrapedApe (talk) 22:08, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - As Paul McDonald points out above via links, the list topic has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources as required by Wikipedia:LISTN. Requirements such as "this is a topic that receives widespread independent coverage", "that this is a notable topic via "multiple, independent sources"?", "a really short "blog-esque" post that lists a few coaches who came back", "the multiple non-trivial sources to satisfy WP:LISTN", and ""The phenomenon of coaches returning to previous schools." The latter is what would be needed to justify this article" are not in Wikipedia:LISTN. In addition to meeting LISTN, the list meets WP:LISTPURP: it is a valuable information source and provides navigation and development purposes. References are easy enough to add - I started from the top and quickly sourced the first five entries in the list.[38] Keep. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 11:12, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Paul McDonald and Uzma Gamal: passes WP:LISTN, worthwhile. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:20, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Does not meet WP:LISTN because there hasn't been significant coverage of these people as a group. There is only one instance I can find where these people are treated as a group, and this is just a sidebar to an article and is not enough on its own to establish significant coverage under WP:LISTN and WP:GNG. Other citations provided are 1) a blog that is not a WP:RS and 2) an article that doesn't treat these people as a class in any depth. What we have here are trivial treatments at best. I could find nothing additional that would support these. Hence delete is the appropriate course. --Batard0 (talk) 07:44, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An indie band that does not appear to meet the requirements of notability. The only sources that are available are a couple of reviews in local publications, and a blog. I was unable to find any reliable sources that discussed the band that were not just purely local in nature when I searched for more.

The result was delete. Notability requires verifiable evidence in the form of reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and reasonable attempts to find such sources by the participants in this discussion have failed. The "keep" voters haven't produced such sources, and instead seem to be a case of WP:ITSNOTABLE. We may be able to have an article on this in the future if reliable sources become available, but for now deletion looks like the appropriate outcome. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 21:28, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable regional annual festival. No evidence presented of notability; article reads like advertisement. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:27, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but needs to be trimmed to a stub - Considering that the festival symbolises Newark, California's corporation, I believe that may be notable. Additionally, I found one news article to support the establishment. Google News archives provided additional results but several of them appear to be simply event listings or require payment. Several of them are archived from the years past, as far as 1985 from what I see. Google Books provided nothing useful but insufficient available sources is not a reasonable case to delete, what appears to be a notable festival.

Weakkeep. (I am changing from "weak keep" to "keep" based on the references added to the article by SwisterTwister) At first I was going to suggest a merge/redirect to Newark, California#Culture and recreation, which certainly does need more than the current one-sentence mention. But this is not a trivial festival - its claimed attendance is 100,000 - and it does get some coverage. Aside from the hyperlocal coverage in the Fremont Patch, which I discount, it does seem to get an article every year in the San Jose Mercury News, which is a respected regional paper. That appears to be routine coverage of an annual local event, but still, a full-length article every year in a regional paper probably amounts to significant coverage. Somebody needs to add some of these to the article, which currently has no independent references. --MelanieN (talk) 19:38, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]- Keep, i was ready to ask for deletion, but i checked on the attendance levels (not in the article yet, unfortunately), and compared it to Solano Avenue Stroll, another local event of similar scope. While the numbers on the Newark event are somewhat smaller, and while its received much less attention than the solano one, i think it should stay, albeit in shortened form to just the basics, perSisterTwister.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:14, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This subject appears not meet WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. The review in non-notable Urban Folk magazine is alone doesn't seem convincing of notability. Media coverage is exceedingly local and lends even less to an encyclopedic biography. The subject also doesn't approach WP:MUSICBIO for much the same reason. Also, his association with more notable ensembles doesn't give way to much coverage of this individual beyond passing mention, credits, and liner notes.

- WP:LOTSOFSOURCES wouldn't do anything to save this article. The mancunianmatters website and Jeffrey Lewis blog are of moderate (but not strong) reliability for BLP content; they has exactly one passing mention of the subject (the articles simply aren't about him) and exactly zero in-depth coverage of the subject in sources that are actually reliable. This subject has been an associate of Paleface, so that's not independent coverage. See WP:42. None of this is negotiable: being a contemporary of other artists is not notable.

DO NOT DELETE. Mr. Revell has recorded over eight albums, and is a significant contributor to the anti-folk community and genre. Mr. Revell's contributions are significant and notable. Reliable sources can also include the albums he has recorded as original sources. They are available in full version here: http://greyrevell.bandcamp.com/. Though his recorded albums are "self-authored" and are not "Independent of the Subject" these albums, taken along with his recent commercial popularity abroad, his recent attention from media and new fan base, and his significant influence on other anti-folk musicians should be taken as a whole to come to the conclusion that he and his music are notable subjects worthy of a Wikipedia page.
Also, though Mr. Revell has yet to attain widespread attention in the United States, he is not 'likely to remain' in this position, as his popularity is growing exponentially due to the recent attention received via the HP commercial. Mr. Revell is a notable and significant American singer-songwriter and deserves a Wikipedia page.
Grey Revell's contribution to American Songwriting is significant. His recent placement in the HP commercial is a significant achievement, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O91lPSKfgpk&feature=relmfu . He is receiving more downloads now than any other indie musician referenced in his own article. He is touring with the nationally known artist "Paleface" and contributing significantly to his next album. As I am sure you are aware, deleting Mr. Revell's entry from your archives could have serious career consequences for a musician on the brink of widespread commercial success in the U.S. This is an action not to be taken lightly.
It would disserve the Wikipedia community to delete the page of such a significant and notable American singer-songwriter. He is, under the Wikipedia guidelines for notability of music, a "prominent representative of a notable style of music", anti-folk. He has "performed music for a work of media that is notable", the HP commercial. He is a member of a national PRO. He is widely cited by his peers, though all citations are not posted here, and someone seems to be systematically deleting the citations that have been posted recently. There are more sources available. All of these criteria make him eligible for the definition of "notable" under Wikipedia's policy guidelines.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AmandaBCook (talk • contribs) 16:30, 12 October 2012 (UTC) — AmandaBCook (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- None of which are sufficient reasons for keeping the article. As I am sure you are aware, deleting Mr. Revell's entry from your archives could have serious career consequences for a musician on the brink of widespread commercial success in the U.S. This is an action not to be taken lightly is immaterial--Wikipedia is not here to advance a career (Parenthetically, a Wikipedia biography generally has very little impact on career trajectory, and attempts to 'guilt' editors into keeping an article have even less impact on the Wikipedia community). None of the removed citations came from reliable sources, per WP:RELIABLE. Also please read WP:CRYSTAL; Wikipedia does not include articles based on the possibility or even likelihood that someone may become notable. As yet there is no evidence that "he is widely cited by his peers." If there are any credible sources, I'd suggest you add them, rather than making claims that no editors have yet been able to substantiate. If and when such sources become available, a deleted article may be resubmitted. Thanks, 76.248.149.47 (talk) 20:18, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You did not address his thus far commercial success, which DOES fit under the Wikipedia definition of notable. The reasons stated in my last paragraph of my first comment are all, independently, reasons given in WP:MUSIC for allowing a notable music bio. This reasoning cannot just be ignored by stating "none of which are sufficient," that is just flatly untrue. How can the very commercial that used his song, itself, be unreliable, especially in combination with his discography on Bandcamp, where the song is available in its entirety? Did you fail to follow the link to the commercial that I provided? Are you not aware that under the DMCA the recording artist who created "Gone Gone" would have these sources removed almost instantly if they were not reliable sources, if the music had somehow, no matter how unlikely, been recorded by another artist? In the case of this song, all THREE factors of reliability, the source itself, the publisher of the source, and the publisher of the source are COMPLETELY reliable. Mr. Revell IS notable, and he has every indication of remaining notable as an American singer-songwriter in the future. I am not an editor of this article. I have added links and they have been removed within minutes of my adding them, by whom I do not know. Perhaps John from Chapel Hill can answer that question. He seems to have some sort of personal connection to and/or vendetta against Mr. Revell. I don't have time to keep adding reliable sources just to have them taken down by the likes of you. My law practice keeps me too busy to fool around much on Wikipedia.

Give us the sources--where are the ARTICLES about that song being partially in the commercial? Where are the ARTICLES that tell us how important, significant and influential it is? Oh--there aren't any?? Well guess what, Amanda, that means that, according to official Wikipedia policies, this Revell guy is just not notable. You see, Wikipedia verifiability is all about secondary sourcing, not primary sourcing. I hope you're beginning to understand, although I fear it may be too late, since you're on the verge of getting yourself permanently banned from Wikipedia for making legal threats.

- Delete He's got a track on a Rough Trade compilation and on an ad - that's good but not enough. Otherwise, having your catalogue at Bandcamp means nothing more than having your book at Amazon. It means 'this exists'. Otherwise, Ms Cook has (unfortunately) said it all. Except for referring to 'notoriety' when I would have expected 'fame' or 'notability'. Notoriety is Al Capone, or alleged by hiphoppers and rappers (often trying to live down middle class upbringings). I would also point out that this is a bit of a Catch 22 - if one's career depends on having a Wikpedia article, then one is certainly not in the position (yet) of qualifying for one. If one's career is such that one is too busy to be worried about it, one probably qualifies. I wish him luck - music is a hard business.

This is just a farm of external links on non-notable writing and it should go. JFHJr (㊟) 06:20, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I missed one more page in this set: the unreferenced Sharlverse list. Have just added it to the nomination. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:10, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - found some other Shipleys, but hardly anything usable on this one. It certainly looks like publicity, whoever wrote it. WP:GNG is nowhere in sight. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:05, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per above. None of the sources on the articles assert enough notability to warrant these remaining on Wikipedia and I found nothing via a search that would change that.Tokyogirl79 (talk)

I believe this is a non-notable community, as I live near it and it is basically just a single intersection with a few houses. Just simply being considered a "populated place" by the U.S. Census Bureau does not necessarily make it notable. epzik8 11:09, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- weak keep - on the contrary, almost all populated places are considered to be notable enough for an article, though I realise the WP:NGEOG is a proposed guideline only. Looking at an aerial map, it seems to have a cemetery too, so likely to have some noteworthy history. All that being said, a one line stub is hardly a hill of beans!

- Keep per WP:NPLACE. Seeing as it is marked on Google Maps, I'd say it exists, so keep. Also keep in mind that the extreme majority of unincorporated places such as Fairview have articles. "Pepper" @ 00:31, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, it is a village with its history, people. Faisal 1918 (talk) 03:44, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Okay, I see where everyone is coming from with the reasons that the community should be considered to be notable, but I don't think just being marked on Google Maps and being home to an historic cemetery qualifies it to have its own article on Wikipedia. I know it exists, because I drive through it a lot, but nobody I know ever refers to the community's landmarks as being in Fairview. It's in the zip code area of a town called Forest Hill, which is the closest "real" town, so everyone considers it as being part of Forest Hill. (epzik8) 19:27, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Technically, Forest Hill isn't a town, it's an unincorporated community just like Fairview. I've already made my point above about Wikipedia functioning as a gazetteer, and most people are in agreement with that. Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but with past experience, I've found that most people would disagree with that. "Pepper" @ 20:31, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's a verified populated place, and by long-standing precedent it's therefore notable, both because Wikipedia functions as a gazetteer and almost all of these places end up having plenty of coverage. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 10:00, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep verified places like towns, villages, unincorporated communities are inherently notable; deletion nominations are needlessly disruptive and time sinks. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:32, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
