The result was keep. Excellent keep argument evidencing that the subject meets a SNG. I considers relisting as this is unsourced but there is no evidence in the nomination that a through search for sources failed to turn any up.

- Oppose Deletion Libraries, particularly groups of libraries such as this one, are pillars of their communities - I've just done a rudimentary Google search and found major articles like this one which show evidence of good coverage. Obviously, stuff like this needs to be added to the article quickly! Sionk (talk) 00:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Multiple published sources showing in footnotes, passes GNG. Libraries are civil centers of sorts and they are the sorts of community institutions about which Wikipedia users are likely to seek information. This article is weak, but it's a start. Carrite (talk) 07:55, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The library still fails to make clear what makes in notable among other libraries. Having a book sale is not something special, I have seen that in several countries. Lending books and related materials is the core business, so that does not make them notable too. Libraries are very PR-sensitive, so you can probably find newsstories about every library in the world. Night of the Big Wind talk 10:47, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Umm... what about what Sionk found (and amplified in the article when I'd missed it)? That isn't simply a book sale (and people in South Jersey would probably like to have the book sale in Wikipedia for their reference!). Moreover, pretty much every college and university is considered notable for Wikipedia - it isn't necessary that a college or university be different than every college and university for it to be listed; the same is true of towns (try doing a few "Random article" clicks sometime and see how many tiny French communes you come across... down to 10 people!); so why not libraries? WP:GNG doesn't list relative notability as a requirement. Allens (talk) 12:34, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with you that not every secondary school, seagoing vessel or university is automatically notable. Vested interests (Wikiprojects!!) declare the most strange non-notable subjects notable. I do not agree with that nasty habit and stick to the rule that every article/subject should be judged on its own merits. Based on that, and with working experience in the public library sector, I have found the library just an average library with nothing special and non-notable. Night of the Big Wind talk 13:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That is not what I said; it's fine for every (real) college/university to be judged notable by WP:GNG. The article meets the qualifications; it does not need to have relative notability, only notability judged by itself. Allens (talk) 13:09, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep firstly, a note on etiquette: if you are going to quote my edit summary, please either quote it in full or indicate that you have only taken a small part of it. When nominating an article for AfD, please also actually read the policies to which you refer, rather than just reading the nutshell, which is from where you grabbed the quote "An athlete is presumed notable if the person has actively participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics, and has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I did not link you to the nutshell, I linked you to:
- Wikipedia:ATHLETE#Notability guidelines on sports persons
- Which clearly states that:
"Sports figures are presumed notable (except as noted within a specific section) if they:
- have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics.
- meet any of the qualifications in one of the sports specific sections below."
- Please note that skiers do not have a specific section. Since Regina Mader participated in the 2010 Olympics in the Ladies' Downhill Ski, as shown by the source (webarchive) provided in the article, she therefore meets the first requirement of the policy regarding notability guidelines on sports persons. She is therefore notable under policy.
- It should be noted that nutshells of policies are to give a brief idea of the gist of the policy and should not be relied upon for actual specific application. (e.g. AfD)
- Regardless of this, she has received coverage in multiple sources. A google search for her name (in double quotes) returns many hits, some of which are more than passing mentions, such as [13] and [14]. I politely request that the filer, in the interest of the project, makes more of an effort to find sources (and read policy) when filing an AfD, especially if his PROD has already been contested. Saying that a google search only "returned 5 hits" is firstly an invalid deletion argument and secondly an invalid statement.

- Apologies for not quoting the entirety of the edit-summary; I thought that the link would suffice. What I am quoting is, the "nutshell" of the SNG, which states, "An athlete is presumed notable if the person has actively participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics, and has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." (again, my bold) and GNG, Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not excluded for other reasons. We consider evidence from reliable independent sources such as published journals, books, and newspapers to gauge this attention. Notability does not directly affect the content of articles, but only whether the topic should have its own article. - sorry, I did truncate that, the full guideline is of course WP:GNG. - Hope that helps clarify. Chzz ► 22:13, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I know you only quoted from the nutshell; I addressed this in my comment above, which I invite you to read. As I said above, the nutshell aims to merely give a brief idea of the gist of the policy and should not be relied upon for actual specific application. For application you should instead actually refer to the text of the policy, which makes it clear that sports figures are presumed notable if they have participated in the Olympics, as demonstrated by the link I gave you: Wikipedia:ATHLETE#Notability guidelines on sports persons and as demonstrated in my comment above. Furthermore, quoting policy without explaining its relevance does not support your argument: for instance, you quote the GNG, however, proving that something does not meet the GNG (which you haven't proved) does not prove that the topic is not notable: it may still be considered notable under other topic-specific polices such as WP:ATHLETE. Please try to actually address the points I am making, rather than just wildly quoting irrelevant policies without providing any reasoning.

It teaches kindergarten through eighth grade, and such elementary schools are typically not kept in AFDs, getting deleted or merged or redirected to their parent organizations.

- Speedy keep. It is completely irrelevant which editors created or contributed to the article or why they did it. Everyone here is anonymous anyway unless they voluntarily disclose their real-life identity. What does matter is notability WP:N, which requires reliable sources WP:RS: If the sources exist, the topic is notable, no matter how much you dislike it. And as Alessandra argues, sources don't get much better than the NY Times and The Wall Street Journal. Msnicki (talk) 22:40, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: While reliable sources exist, this alone does not guarantee notability. I would argue that the cited coverage of this application falls under "routine reporting". The subject of the article fails pretty much every criterion for notability on the Notability (events) page: it was a temporary event, with limited if any long-term consequences, which received no news coverage beyond the immediate aftermath of release - and what coverage it did receive could hardly be called in-depth in the sense described on that page. Robin S (talk) 03:05, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- When you make it into the WSJ and the NYT with stories having bylines by actual human being reporters, it's not routine coverage anymore. They weren't just reprinting press releases; they wrote their own stories. Under the guidelines, that's significant coverage. Msnicki (talk) 03:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Software packages are not ordinarily considered to be events for notability purposes. Alternatively, we could consider the release as an event with a very significant enduring significance: the software was actively used by large numbers of people well after the "event". Most software, even packages we consider notable, will never receive significant coverage in extremely high-profile media, instead being relegated to computer-specific literature. When's the last time you read a detailed exposé about fsck in The New York Times? Being covered in sources such as The Wall Street Journal blows this software right out of the notability park.

- Oppose largely because it is notable. The album can be expanded similar to Selena Live!, I haven't gotten that far down the line with expanding as I'm currently working on Ven Conmigo. Furthermore, even though the album never impacted any music chart nor did RIAA issued a certification, her singles had extensive airplay in South Texas (while ineligible for the Hot 100) and were issued out as promotional singles. I support the mass redirect of her non-solo career singles but not her albums that helped shaped her in the Tejano market and to be noticed. Best, Jonayo!

- This source and these states that the album was one of the early milestones of her career, though its not enough to say that it is anywhere notable in Wikipedia as a stand-alone article. However, this source says that the album did not sell well and gives genres the band used to record the album. The album is mentioned in the book called The encyclopedia of popular music. It was given a three out of five star rating by Allmusic. If these are still not enough to save this article then I'll vote to redirect the article to Selena albums discography. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 21:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- You're effectively arguing that the article should be deleted because you find it to be "twaddle" and "a stupid human-interest story". This is a classic WP:IDONTLIKEIT argument, festooned with irrelevant policies. Invoking WP:ONEEVENT is silly, since the article is about the event, not one of the participants. WP:NOTNEWS is a deprecated redirect, designed to draw attention to just this sort of misuse of a "potentially misleading shortcut". The actual policy title is "Wikipedia is not a newspaper". It allows "development of stand-alone articles on significant current events" but doesn't permit "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities". Incidents receiving major international attention are seldom routine news reporting. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 17:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Just because you have a bug up your backside against my position at WT:NOT doesn't mean you get to carry your snideness to other venues, so dial it back a bit, will you? As for WP:ONEEVENT, that was a mistake on my part, I meant to link to the main event notability guideline at WP:EVENT. There is not lasting effect of this incident, no wide-reaching effect. It is just one very ridiculous story that poppped into the news for a few days, everyone has a chuckle over it, and then it is swiftly forgotten. We get hundreds of these AfDs a year because some yahoo sees a funny headline and scrambles here to write an article about it, whether it is the woman who fell into a shopping mall fountain while texting or a news reporter seems to have a stroke while on-air.

Your imploring me "to contain your responses to the realm of the rational" is deeply ironic.

- You're effectively arguing that the article should be deleted because you find it to be "twaddle" and "a stupid human-interest story". This is a classic WP:IDONTLIKEIT argument, festooned with irrelevant policies. Invoking WP:ONEEVENT is silly, since the article is about the event, not one of the participants. WP:NOTNEWS is a deprecated redirect, designed to draw attention to just this sort of misuse of a "potentially misleading shortcut". The actual policy title is "Wikipedia is not a newspaper". It allows "development of stand-alone articles on significant current events" but doesn't permit "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities". Incidents receiving major international attention are seldom routine news reporting. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 17:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for listing is notability. eg from WP:Event: 'Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) - whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time - are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.'

- Delete. I am not unsympathetic to the inclusionist position here, but I do not feel it is consistent with the notability guideline at hand. Because Edison mentioned Larry Walters in support of keeping this article, I think it's valuable to contrast the two situations. In both cases, someone converted a chair into something else (aircraft, car), got arrested, and had the story reported in a zillion newspapers. Walters' flight was "a precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance" -- several plays, poems, songs, TV episodes, and a major studio motion picture were based off the event; the event under discussion has not been such a catalyst. Interest in and reporting on Walters' action was diverse and sustained, including requests for late-night talk show appearances, efforts by the Smithsonian to acquire his chair, an advertising campaign with Rolex, and follow-up reports years later including coverage of his eventual suicide in People; in contrast, coverage on this event has been much narrower -- the event happened, the chair was auctioned off, and La-Z-Boy objected to copyright dilution in the media. It is conceivable that this event will in time meet the expectations in the guidelines, but at this time it is more akin to one of the "and finally" stories deemed likely not notable by the guideline. As a separate response to one other supporting claim, the FindLaw Blotter blog entry linked by Alessandra Napolitano might be a reliable source (although I am uncertain), but it is certainly not what is normally contemplated as a law review article. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:21, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This incident may have been newsworthy a couple of years ago, but it is not sufficiently notable to be a suitable encyclopedia topic. Peacock (talk) 21:25, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The deletion argument here is blatant WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Claims that topics have to have lasting historical significance are hand-waving prejudice because many/most topics are just not that important. Clicking random article a few times we have Travis Lee (wrestler), Oxnard Elementary School District, Izzy Lang. It's only after getting through mundane stuff like that that we come to a timeless topic like structural rigidity and such topics are a fraction of our content. So, to pick on the recliner incident just because it seems wacky is contrary to core policy. The incident has had international coverage and has made it into at least one book. Notability does not expire and so this topic passes the notability guideline. Warden (talk) 23:16, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS (and that none of those listed articles have the same difficulties with the terms of the event notability guideline) aside, the linked book is published by well-known print-on-demand publisher PublishAmerica and thus does not constitute a reliable source for Wikipedia's purposes. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 23:56, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- "Other stuff exists" refers to the argument that because there are some articles that are equally problematic as the one at AFD, the latter should be retained. If accepted, this line of reasoning would obstruct the AFD process, since there are always bad articles that we haven't gotten around to disposing of yet. However, when someone proposes to delete an article in part for reasons that, if accepted, would eliminate about 95% of Wikipedia articles (no great historical significance), that's a problem, since any attempt to start a massive article burning would quickly be quashed by overwhelming consensus. The enduring significance test in WP:NOTNEWSPAPER may be crystal balling going forward, but it's an objective metric when evaluated retrospectively - either coverage of the event died out quickly, or it didn't. When reliable sources are still covering an event months later, we have enduring significance. Thus it is for the motorized recliner incident: significant coverage in reliable sources started in January 2009, and ended December 2009. Establishing notability has never required coverage of events to continue indefinitely. Arguments to the effect of "this is trivial crap, fsck it" aren't sufficient to show non-notability; AFD is not a venue in which to evaluate subjects against our own tastes. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 02:56, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:Other stuff exists states that "a logical rationalization of "Other Stuff Exists" may be used in a perfectly valid manner in discussions of what articles to create, delete, or retain.". Historical significance is not a logical test for recent events because we are unable to predict what will be thought historically significant in years to come. Warden (talk) 10:29, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The metrics I'm applying here don't apply to 95% of articles, nor my personal tastes, only to those discussed in WP:EVENT, under the Inclusion Criteria, where "lasting, historical significance" is cited explicitly as one of the criteria that should be evaluated to distinguish news stories from encyclopedic topics. As a matter of personal policy, I cleave especially tightly to the guideline's inclusion factors when considering events involving a single primary actor whose biographical article would be discourged by WP:BLP1E. On the subject of dates, I haven't had the chance to look into the conflict, but the October 2009 date given in the article lede seems in conflict with January 2009 sourcing.

- I think that was a transcription error in that source: 23/01 rather than 23/10. It seems that the event occurred in August 2008. The story broke in October 2009 when the matter came to trial. It was still being reported the following April 2010 when police were trying to auction off the recliner again. It fetched $3700.

- Comment: Not every street that has a subway station along its route is notable enough to have an article here. Otherwise, we would have plenty of street articles with one or two sentences saying something like "This street in Queens has one subway station served by the 7 train." There are many streets in New York City that has more than one subway station named after it, including 18th Avenue (BMT Sea Beach Line, BMT West End Line, IND Culver Line), Church Avenue (BMT Brighton Line, IND Culver Line, IRT Nostrand Avenue Line), and Utica Avenue (IND Fulton Street Line, IRT Eastern Parkway Line) in Brooklyn, none of which we have a Wikipedia article of. In Manhattan, many east-west streets have at least four stations named after it and none of them have Wikipedia articles. In The Bronx, most of the stations on the IRT Jerome Avenue Line and IND Concourse Line are on the same streets and none of them have Wikipedia articles either, so what makes 20th Avenue in Brooklyn different? Think about that before you decide to keep this article because it was created by someone who lives there and just wants his street on Wikipedia.

- Keep Subways are not built on random streets, nor are subway stations so located. They're built where there's an important concentration of commerce (or sometimes, center of a residential area); if they are not so originally, they are consciously intended and planned to develop into one. Why does it happen that the most important cross streets in Manhattan have subway stops? Mere serendipity? Same goes for Brooklyn. The argument that we don't have articles on many of them is a good indication of our incompleteness--there's still plenty of scope for new editors. Such articles can all be developed beyond one or two lines: there's the subway planning--there's the subsequent development of the area. Most subway history includes discussion about individual stations. The nearest analogy is local rural railroad stations, which played exactly the same role in the previous century. Whether we want to go into streets in more detail than that I leave for further discussion, but it's odd to see an argument that we should seriously consider whether we want to make articles on something reasonably notable , because someone might want to make articles on something less notable of the same general type. As far as I can tell the evidence that "it was created by someone who just lives there and wanted his street in Wikipedia" is non-existent. (And the ip who removed the deletion tag removed a prod, not a speedy.) By the way, nobody notified the creator--I just did, belatedly, and I think that;s enough justification for a relisting.

Really an attack page, but deserves full AfD discussion of this obscure ideological ax-grinding non-notable term, "sourced" (if we can call it that) to its coiner, a non-notable political writer, and a couple of science fiction writers who like to use a slang version of this term as an obscure pejorative. Orange Mike | Talk 21:18, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, I think. The current condition of the page notwithstanding, there do seem to be third-party authors discussing Forte's concept, including a fairly brief mention in this European Law Journal paper and somewhat more commentary here in Science and Society. There are also several books not authored by Forte that devote some space to the topic. Most, admittedly, are essay compilations that include Forte's work directly, but there are exceptions such as this one, where the section in question is authored by Ilya Prizel. There's also this book, but I suspect it's actually talking about something different. Someone more familiar with this material than I am may wish to ensure that this third-party commentary is independent of the Hudson Institute rather than simply written by someone other than Forte, but on its face, it looks like there could be an article here (although it wouldn't much look like the current one).

Delete per nom. Despite previous claims of "third party secondary sources", the only given sources are, as OrangeMike points out, from the works of the person who supposedly coined the term. How is that "third party" or "secondary"? The sources cited by Squeamish Ossifrage make only brief mention of the topic. There does not appear to be significant coverage of the subject in reliable independent sources.--JayJasper (talk) 19:34, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Prizel has a couple of pages on the topic (and could replace many of the direct citations to Fonte). Science and Society is a relatively weak journal, but Harris provides some comparative analysis there, which is important to article development. There's also some coverage in articles in Anthropoetics, the Australian Journal of Politics and History, the Journal of Social Sciences, the Journal of Studies in International Education, the Review of International Studies, the RUSI Journal, and Society. Many of these mentions are trivial; some are less so. Regardless, I think there are enough sources out there to rewrite the sad excuse for an article that we've got now into something with actual commentary and criticism. I'd rather not be the one to do it, as I have my own opinions about the quality of Fonte's scholarship and try to avoid editing in areas where I possess a recognizable bias. But there really is quite a bit of material out there. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:27, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete – Per above. Also, IMO this subject also falls short of both "extensively cited to" and "substantially cited to in significant numbers." A handful of unrelated authors seem to cite to this subject (for example Estonia, the new EU economy: building a Baltic miracle? and search "Benito"), but most that I've seen do not contain substantial citing to this subject.

- Strong Keep co-editor of two books, and probably meets WP:AUTHOR as well as, WP:PROF. In particular , co-editor of Progress in international business research, a series co-published by OUP and Elsevier. Multinationals on the periphery was published by another major publisher, Palgrave/Macmillan/. (for WP:Author alone, reviews would be needed) But several dozen published papers, & a dozen working papers. The reason for keeping is not the count of papers, but the citations, which show notability the way it should be shown for academics, by the citing of his work by hundreds of other scholars which establishes him as an expert in his field. "The expansion of foreign direct investments: discrete rational location choices or a cultural learning process?" in Journal of International Business Studies, 1992 had 319 citation in G Scholar. "Foreign market servicing: beyond choice of entry mode" in Journal of International Marketing, 1994, had 160. After that the counts are 145, 118, 113, 67.... Normally, anyone who manages to publish even one peer-reviewed paper with 100 citations is notable; he has published 5. DGG ( talk ) 02:36, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A neologism that doesn't seem to have wide currency. No reliable sources to show this is a widespread term. Prod was contested, so bringing here for discussion. Sparthorse (talk) 06:01, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Man i just started doing this and i have no idea how to do citations. This might not be a widespread term in your everyday use, but it is in mine and my community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinospartan117 (talk • contribs)
- This discussion runs for seven days, so you have time to find the citations. The best place to start is by reading through Wikipedia's policy on verifiability, guidelines on reliable sources and guidelines on citing sources. Best, Sparthorse (talk) 07:06, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or userfy. This is a very, very recently coined term and as such, doesn't have anything that would be considered a reliable source. In response to Dinospartan117, a term, person, place, or item might be considered notable within a group of people, but that doesn't automatically mean it's notable enough to go onto Wikipedia. What's needed to prove notability are reliable sources. (See WP:RS for what's considered a reliable source.) Unfortunately I didn't find that when I did a search on this term. I found some blogs, youtube videos, and sources that would be considered trivial at best, but I didn't find anything reliable. A reliable source would be if Rolling Stone did an article on seapunk or if it was covered in a news article. That said, I think that it might be worth userfying (WP:USERFY) until Dinospartan117 can find enough reliable sources to flesh the term out.

- Delete. This is not an encyclopedia article but an essay on a Hindu or Sanskrit word or maybe name. The essay doesn't even explain what the word means ("light pot" doesn't really help), and I didn't manage to find out elsewhere.

- Delete - ~Laughs~ I am really stunned by the ingenuity of the Indians (pats himself) who are using the lack of familiarity of the westerners regarding Hindi to create an article about a so-called "Stress-remover and success provider website".Firstly it reeks of WP:PEACOCK.Secondly Jyoti-->means "Light"(of maybe knowledge or good action) & Kalash-->means "Pot".Now the point is that ancient sages/Rishi/ऋषि had dedicated their lives in the search for ultimate knowledge,for which they traveled and meditated in the harsh sub-zero weather of the Himalayas(I dont have reliable source for this).Thus they were objects of general awe.These sages also carried a pot (of clay or metal) to carry water(for what I dont know).Now whenever a disciple bowed in front of them ,as a mark of blessing they used to sprinkle water from this pot on them.People assumed that this water enlightened them, brought peace to their life.This water is also known as "Shanti Jal" /(water of peace).It is from here the whole concept of neo-something and jyoti-kalash came into being.
Now coming back to the article.This article is actually for a website of the same name and the main subtle need of this article is advertising.For me the lack of sources lead to failure of WP:VERIFY and particularly this article fails WP:GNG.P.S:Sorry for my long explanation ,but I just love drama.

Keep : I have done major edits to page. Removed copyright text. Added cat. Please note that there is a Category:Given names by culture [31] and I have added Cat Category:Hindu given names accordingly to the article. So notability issue does not arise. Please see the article again to change your opinion.Jethwarp (talk) 04:35, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I still dont get it.If major edits has been done then what are these two references still doing there
Both these link to a website which claims to remove "stress and provide success" . Secondly,I beg to differ on the matter of notability regarding names.One of my arguments would be by picking up an archived debate -->Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laimnesis (name) which says "No evidence that this name is borne by anybody notable" as a reason for deletion by the nominator.Similarly, my argument here would be we do not have any notable person having this name /surname.Thus there is no need for this article.If in the future somebody notable do come up then new article could be made.But, as the saying goes WP is not a crystal ball.If comparison is to be drawn then I would say Sunil and Parag as the examples for inclusion of names. There are two things that may assert notability for the same :-
- Line 1-->"Hindus light oil lamps near Kalasha for nine days in reverence to Durga. These are also known as Jyoti-Kalash"--This reference can be added to Navaratri
- Line 2-->"A song Jyoti Kalash Chhalke sung by Lata Mangeshkar in 1961 Hindi movie Bhabhi ki Chudiyan"--This can be added to the list of songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
Thus there is no need for a separate article. I will also say that other stuff also exist! Vivekananda De--tAlK 05:41, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment : rmvd external link. The link are given to cite that Jyotikalash comes from words jyoti & kalash. There is no mention of stress in article. It is a Sanskrit word and has other religious significance and meanings in religious rites of Hindus apart from being a name. I am surprised that you being from India are making such comments. You should be very much aware what at least a kalasha is!!! You have given a fine explanation earlier (above) what a jyotikalash is shanti jal (water of peace). Now when I have added ref explaining what a jyoti-kalash is you want to argue against it.Jethwarp (talk) 08:48, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply: Firstly,I will take this "you being from India are making such comments" as a compliment and as a mark of my neutrality.I never mentioned the word stress in the article.I said the linked website says such words.I am also not refuting that "religious significance and meanings in religious rites" of the word.I am only saying that there is no need for a separate article.The significance of the word can be kept consolidated by adding separate sections / edits to Navaratri and Lata Mangeshkar,as I have said in my previous argument.But in between all these you did not mention so as to why you are adding this article to Hindu given names and why this particular article can have a stand alone status.The particular religious significance can be added to Navaratri and thus there is no need for a separate article.Now, your link says it all.The term Jyoti Kalash has the greatest significance in the puja or during the Navaratri.As an extension to previous argument regarding-->Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laimnesis (name) I add that the "Laimnesis (name)" is "they are historical names dating back to pre-Christian times" and yet they are non-notable just because there is "No evidence that this name is borne by anybody notable".Let us only think about WP guidelines regarding this discussion and not think about other things.See the problem regarding hindu scriptures is the ability of anybody to interpret in his/her own terms.My earlier argument is just an argument and my own opinion just because I do not have any reliable source for it.Moreover please note I have not refuted anything that you have said.I am just saying it does not need a separate article .Thats all!!!Vivekananda De--tAlK 09:43, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Name Jyoti Kalash:Links to a website whose other pages claim to remove stress and so on.Thus for me its still spammy and not a reliable source.
- Akhand Manokaamna Navratra Jyoti Kalash:Navratras are the major festive occasions for Shri Mahamaya Devi Mandir. Navratras are observed twice every year, a period of nine days each......Special lamps called Kalash are lit in big halls surrounding the Mandir in the name of devotees. These Kalashas are kept akhand
- Adbhar Ashtbhuji Temple : This is an ancient temple of Goddess Devi with eight hands. The Jyoti Kalash are lit here on Navaratri: The Jyoti Kalash are lit here on Navaratri.
- Shitala Mandir:Its an image and not technically a source.
- Jyoti Kalash are lighted here on the occasion of Navratri:Jyoti Kalash are lighted here on the occasion of Navratri.
- Jyoti kalash chalke : One of the most outstanding songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar, this must go down as a very special song in her career as well as in the annals of Bollywood filmy music:Already described in my previous argument.
Now,4 out of 6 sources say "Jyoti Kalash" in the same breath as "Navaratri" and thus it simply supports my argument that there is no need for a separate article.It is a great addition to Navaratri.The same thing applies to Lata Mangeshkar song.Thus there is no need for a separate article.I will again say "In which way do you want to keep this article?Cite the relevant guideline",because I am asking the guideline for your argument.P.S:There was a talk about "the name Jyoti Kalash can be found in google book search",I still dont see any google reference.

- Delete. I find Vivekananda De's comments convincing. There are really no references supporting any notability of "Jyotikalash" as a given name. They are mostly references to the Navaratri lamps of the same name, but that is an irrelevant context - that should be covered in Navaratri. And there's the words of one song, which are best covered elsewhere.

Removed prod. There have been some minor changes since the removal of the prod, but nothing so far has substantially corrected the problem, which is that the company does not appear to be notable. Given that I can't find any indepth (non-trivial) reliable sources, it appears that the subject isn't notable per WP:GNG. No amount of additional editing could cause such sources to come into existence, so the article should probably be deleted. Of course, if someone could produce such sources, I would withdraw my objections. But as they don't appear to exist now, I don't have much hope. Jayron32 14:12, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete and Redirect. Being an actor in television commercials is not a notability unless those appearances have for some reason themselves caught the eye of reliable sources, as they did with Rodney Allen Rippy. A child star is not notable as a star unless also catching the eye of reliable sources offering some detail beyond simple mentions. I find her name for the most part found in forums and networking sites.[42] And while some of her work can be minimally confirmed, the most I can find toward even a hint of notability is in Business Standard just today calling her a "promising" new star upon her joining Best Of Luck Nikki.[43] Redirecting to that series as something for which she is least sourcable[44] sends the reader to a place where she might be reasonable mentioned in context to the series... and will suffice until such time as this youngster's career grows and she meets ENT or GNG.

- Delete while I am finding some coverage around the time of his college career, most of it seems to be about his encounters with law enforcement and not his athletic ability--and of that it all appears to be local, routine coverage. There is some mention in a SI article, but it looks like most of it is pay-per-view sources per my google search. I would change my position if independent, reliable sources were provided to show notability to pass WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- On fence. College football players qualify under WP:GNG if they have received significant, non-trivial coverage in mainstream media sources. Moore has received a good deal of non-trivial coverage, including extensive national coverage at ESPN.com and USA Today. Also quite a bit in major metropolitan newspapers, including Orlando Sentinel (34th in circulation in US), South Florida Sun-Sentinel (40th in circulation in US), Miami Herald (41st in US), and The Palm Beach Post (68th in US). But, as Paul M. noted, much of it relates to his off-the-field suspension for rules violations and criminal charges against him. I expect coverage of his criminal activities would not weigh as heavily in support of notability as his actual accomplishments as a player. I don't have time today to evaluate the coverage carefully enough to definitively vote "keep" or "delete," but for those interested in looking more closely, examples of coverage include: (1) Moore Wants Major Role, Miami Herald, November 29, 2004; (2) Injury Offers Moore Lesson in Philosophy, South Florida Sun - Sentinel, Nov 30, 2004; (3) Miami WR Moore gets first playing time of season, Associated Press, November 5, 2006; (4) UM's Moore shows glimpse of ability, The News Press (Fort Myers, Fla.), Jan 1, 2007; (5) UM's Moore is his own worst enemy; Thankful for yet another chance, the Dr. Phillips grad blames himself for his woes, Orlando Sentinel, Dec 30, 2006; (6) Repentant Moore Grateful to be Back, South Florida Sun - Sentinel, Dec. 29, 2006; (7) Moore Miami problems: WR likely to face felony charge, ESPN.com, October 2006; (8) WR Moore's Charges Upgraded to Felony, South Florida Sun - Sentinel, Oct 27, 2006; (9) Miami suspends receiver Moore for Peach Bowl, ESPN.com, Dec. 2005; (10) End not in sight for Miami WR Moore's suspension, ESPN.com, Aug. 2006; (11) Miami needs to cut ties with Moore, ESPN.com, Aug. 2006; (12) Police: Miami WR Moore grabbed, pushed woman, ESPN.com, Aug. 2006; (13) Miami's Moore pleads no contest in assault case, ESPN.com, Nov. 2006; (14) Still under suspension, Moore back on practice field for Miami, USA Today, Oct. 2006; (15) WR Moore in Trouble Yet Again, Miami Herald, Aug. 2006; (16) Moore Working to Polish His Image, South Florida Sun - Sentinel, Aug 8, 2006; (17) Moore's Decision to Return Is a Chance for Redemption, Palm Beach Post, August 8, 2006.

I can't find any in-depth coverage for this artist outside of self-published and promotional articles. Reference to a "King of Zimbabwe" in the third paragraph makes me wary of the article's accuracy as well. Appears to be autobiographical, with the only non-trivial references being to unreliable sources - Facebook, Youtube, etc.
I decided against BLPPROD because there are references, no matter how poor, and I decided against nominating for speedy deletion because there is a credible assertion of significance: notability, on the other hand, I'm not sure about, especially since I'm unfamiliar with most modern American music. So I thought it best to bring the article here for discussion. NellieBly (talk) 06:41, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article/redirect was created without any reliable source or ability to verify the title of the episode, violating WP:RS and WP:V. The only place this name can be found is on the various Glee wiki and fan pages, which are deemed unreliable by Wikipedia standards. Hence, the article page should not yet exist, and ought to be deleted. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:37, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment shouldn't this be listed at WP:RFD? The Rambling Man (talk) 18:48, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- My vote is to keep the re-direct/article, especially if it is just going to be re-created a week from now. Given the number of sites using "Extraordinary Merry Christmas" as the title of the episode (TV.com, IMDB, YouTube, blogs, Glee forum, etc.) I think it is safe to assume accuracy. The article can always be moved if needed. I created the re-direct when I noticed refs for the episode here . I don't see the harm in having the re-direct and I think it is more beneficial to put energy into expanding the article than running through red tape then starting from scratch again. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:13, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- My vote, obviously, is to
delete(see below for changed vote and reason for change). All the cited sites, including IMDb, TV.com, etc., are unreliable, and should never be used to start an article. Glee (season 3) has been temporarily protected just to prevent those unverifiable episode names and like edits from being added by IPs who don't understand how Wikipedia works. I don't understand why equally unsourced article titles should get special treatment.

- Change to keep. With the early release of the press release today—normally, it might not be seen until next week sometime, this request has become moot as a reliable source is finally available, almost nine days after the redirect was created. Although it's still clearly wrong to be creating episode articles—even as redirects—before reliable sources are available with the title, events have overtaken this AfD. I ask that it be closed, as an actual article (as opposed to a redirect) will be posted shortly. Having the AfD notice remain on the page any longer is now counterproductive.
- I was interested to note that posting an AfD on a redirect page as instructed prevents the redirect from functioning properly. Is that supposed to happen? BlueMoonset (talk) 05:02, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The Rambling Man, my understanding from reading the various instructions is that Redirects are not eligible for RFDs. If I'm wrong, I'm happy to place it there instead. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- These rumored episode titles have been wrong, and right, before. The title usually originates with a single site and spreads to all the others. (I tracked one because I was curious; it appeared the afternoon of the day that particular episode started shooting.) My understanding of the way Wikipedia worked was that we simply didn't use rumored information, we waited for reliable source confirmation before posting. If those aren't the rules, or they are but we don't care, just let me know. Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 23:37, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm not sure why this was relisted: I submitted the original AfD, and noted when it became moot. I would like to withdraw it at this time.
- As for reliable sources on a Glee episode, we've never had any question about network press releases or articles from Entertainment Weekly or TV Line: they're professional organizations that report on the industry, and the show sometimes gives screener copies of episodes to the reporters at both. There are more sources for some of the facts in the article, but listing more than one seems excessive, given that the sources involved are all considered reliable.

I just finished a Glee episode article for which I read twenty reviews in publications ranging from Time and The Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic to Rolling Stone and Billboard to various major city newspapers to the aftorementioned Entertainment Weekly and TV Line.

The result was redirect to International Security Assistance Force. I think a redirect/merge best reflects the consensus: those on the keep side argue that an article on ISAF supply lines would have potential, but the keep side appears to accept that the article as drafted is a sub-par attempt with an imprecise title. I don't see the delete side as arguing there is no potential for an article on ISAF supply lines. So, for the time being, this article will be redirected to International Security Assistance Force into which editors can feel free to merge content. There is no prejudice against the creation of a new separate article about ISAF supply lines. If that happens, we may have to re-think the redirect target.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is not itself a discrete topic but rather a ubiquitous part of any broader operation. For example, the two articles provided talk about specific incidents that affected supply lines. The articles never are directly about a specific supply line or even the concept of an Afghanistan miltary supply line. Moreover the title is incredibly generic... NATO has undoubtedly had thousands of supply lines in its history.
The concept is explosive too. In theory every conflict in history has had discussion incidentally about its "supply lines." There may be specific supply lines, the Burma Road that warrant articles. But contrast that with what's here and the incidental versus focused nature is clear.
Last of all, there's almost no content here. We're not losing much. Shadowjams (talk) 06:04, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - per TopGun and Nick-D. Article appears to have signficant coverage in reliable sources and as such is likely notable under WP:GNG. (As a starting point only please see the hundreds of news articles available through Google dating over a period of several years which discuss the topic and the numerous issues which have affected it and ongoing campaign in Afghanistan, not to mention Pakistan and US relations). While I agree with the nominator that the article is in terrible shape and that it would be no great loss if what we currently have was deleted, I would be surprised if this article cannot be developed with the material available (should editors with suitable knowledge be willing to work on it). It should probably be renamed too. Anotherclown (talk) 22:00, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The only plausible keep rationale is of the type you're giving here... I agree that perhaps in some form there could be some article discussion NATO logistics... but my point is that article doesn't seem to exist. There is nothing here to even build upon in that sense, and even in cases where we have a title that's plausible, we don't even have that here. For instance everyone's focused on Afghanistan supply routes but that's a tiny part of NATO's history. A rename is one of the many fundamental changes that would be required. And so while I understand the rationale of your, and I think all of the Keep votes here, I just don't see how the article we're discussing is the one you're !voting on. Shadowjams (talk) 23:44, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The article has one liners as sections currently. Strictly speaking you can shuffle it to anything, but the basis this article is pointing out is the stereotypical controversial supply route of NATO through Pakistan which has repeatedly been closed and has a history attached to it. This has notable coverage and the fact itself would let it build. The name being clear would help, but the current content of the article does give an indication, to those who are familiar, of what to build on it. --lTopGunl (talk) 23:59, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete totally unsourced, doesn't seem to really establish the notability of this intersection (age and Chinese schools in the Philippines) Perhaps if there's a list of schools in the Philippines or something like that some of this might be useful and could be merged there, but it would need to be sourced.OSborn arfcontribs. 02:04, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi there Roadrunner. First off, I appreciate the work you've done to get the sources you added. Unfortunately, those aren't the kind of sources this article needs. You've added stuff that shows that these schools exists. OK, but why do we need a list of the oldest schools in the Philippines in the first place? Why are these types of schools notable enough for a list, when they don't even have their own article? Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:38, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I think the nom is missing the forest for the trees. It is correct that a list organized by how old the school is would be unnecessary. However, we seem to have a lot of content on Category:Chinese schools in the Philippines (something like 46 articles in total), and this is apparently the only list on that subject (though it is not yet comprehensive of all of our articles). So what I'm going to do is what should have been done rather than start an AFD: remove the problem by moving it to List of Chinese schools in the Philippines, tag for expansion so the list can include all such notable entries, and request this be speedy closed. I leave it to the list's future editors to determine if there is some encyclopedic merit in including non-notable schools in the list, and to determine how to reorganize the table. postdlf (talk) 03:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I had noticed that category (its the first result for a search of "chinese schools" & "Philippines"), and I'm not averse to an early closure, but I'll ask you the same question I asked the article's creator: why do we need a list when the overall topic isn't notable enough for its own article? FWIW, I have been treating this from the beginning as though the "oldest" wasn't there, because I don't think it makes that much of a difference. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 13:55, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not a meaningful way of analyzing it. Chinese school has an article, Education in the Philippines has an article, and something like 46 of the Chinese schools in the Philippines have articles. This then is just an index of those schools subdivided by country of location, or, viewed another way, a list of schools in the Philippines subdivided by type, both of which are a standard and obvious way of organizing things when the lists would be too large if not subdivided. That particular indexing group doesn't have to be notable in its own right to justify the list any more than it does for a category, and if a category is appropriate for navigation and grouping, then per WP:CLN a list is as well unless there is something about the topic that makes it particularly inappropriate for a list format (which there isn't here). postdlf (talk) 14:31, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll go ahead and withdraw my nom, pending your reply, but I don't think you're looking at the notability of lists the right way. WP:CLN, and more specifically, WP:AOAL, only says that the list "...may include entries which are not sufficiently notable to deserve their own articles" (emphasis mine). It says nothing about allowing overall un-notable topics to remain. You say that the "particular indexing group doesn't have to be notable in its own right to justify the list", but WP:LISTN clearly says that "a list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines" (link mine). I believe that's pretty conclusive that a list is not a category, and that the intersection of "Chinese schools in the Philippines" still needs to be argued notable to remain. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:50, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NOTDIR states "Wikipedia encompasses many lists of links to articles within Wikipedia that are used for internal organization or to describe a notable subject. In that sense, Wikipedia functions as an index or directory of its own content." WP:LISTN is at best incomplete; it does not represent full practice and consensus regarding all kinds of lists, particularly navigational ones. Does it really make sense to you that we would be forbidden from splitting a lengthy list of articles into subdivisions by country if we could not demonstrate that each -by country grouping was the subject as a group of significant coverage? Applying notability guidelines in that manner wouldn't accomplish anything constructive: it would force us to maintain lists that were far too large if we couldn't demonstrate "significant coverage" of very obvious indexing methods ("sorry, List of Finnish painters isn't notable, you'll have to merge those back into the whole list of painters by nationality"), or make the subdivisions incomplete if we could demonstrate that one grouping was notable but not another ("sorry, deaths in 2010 is notable, but not deaths in 2007"). So yes, the best and most reasonable approach, and the one most supported by consensus, and the one reflected by WP:CLN as a whole (which addresses lists as a method of grouping articles), is to treat lists of articles as a navigational system complementary to categories and templates. postdlf (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- See also WP:SALAT: "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value, unless they are split into sections. For example a list of brand names would be far too long to be of value. If you have an interest in listing brand names, try to limit the scope in some way (by product category, by country, by date, etc.). This is best done by sectioning the general page under categories. When entries in a category have grown enough to warrant a fresh list-article, they can be moved out to a new page, and be replaced by a See new list link." There is no indication that the ways in which we "limit the scope" must themselves be notable; it is instead encouraging us to apply reasonable subdivisions of the topic, first by subdividing a list into sections, and then by splitting those sections off into separate lists because of size concerns. postdlf (talk) 15:29, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict)I'm sure you can see the irony in pointing to a section titled "Wikipedia is not a directory" ...to say that Wikipedia is a directory. Anyway, I think I see where you're coming from more, although what seals it for me more then anything is realizing after a quick search that the unsourced "Chinese schools", one road of this intersection, is actually a decently covered topic in some outside sources. I think I'm gonna head over there and clean that one up... And I hope you didn't think I was just dragging this discussion out for its own sake - lists on non-notable topics has long been a pet peeve of mine and if I'm wrong, I want to make sure I'm wrong. :P Nolelover Talk·Contribs 15:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I acknowledge that sources substantiating the notability of news sources are generally more difficult to find. The above editors have mentioned that Nintendo World Report is referenced by other gaming websites. A quick search confirmed this [48] [49] [50] [51]. But, I wouldn't call these the most reliable of gaming websites. Searching under the prior name of the org (Planet Gamecube) did not prove fruitful for finding coverage of the organization. The subject does not seem to meet the standards of WP:ORG in that the content about the company that is available does not appear to be anything beyond typical coverage in the context of gaming releases.

- Weak Delete Coverage of the individual seems to be limited, but I tried to keep in mind that this was a wrestler from the '60s and '70s, and so sources may be difficult to find. I did a search on Google, trying to limit the search to terms that would identify this older Dino Bravo (as opposed to the newer one) but searching for "Dino Bravo" + "The Italian Casanova". This brought up some repeats of Wikipedia articles [52] [53] and some user-generated content [54]. I found a few sources that provide profile-type info [55] info and others than do cover the subject in some detail [56] [57], the latter of which is already integrated into the article. However, the former appears to be someone's personal website compiled by a single individual, so it's not exactly a reliable source. Dino Bravo also appears in many, many Canadian newspapers, but all of it routine coverage that does not go in-depth on the individual.
