This article is about an MMA fighter who fails WP:NMMA because he has none of the three top tier fights required for notability and he also lacks significant independent coverage in reliable sources. I actually just want to Redirect to The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2. I attempted to be bold and do that, with a comment saying he didn't meet the criteria for individual notability, but another user disagreed so I thought I'd bring it here for discussion.

Comment. Keep. Seems to be substantial coverage under Tom Crabtree anchor, but mostly local stuff. Thirty-eight years as a SC journalist would weight my opinion toward a keep outcome, when well documented. This critique of Scott Pelley is interesting. Accolades like "former SC Newsman of the year" and regional Emmy wins for his news broadcasts, if verifiable, would put this subject past WP:CREATIVE (under 4c), IMHO. BusterD (talk) 03:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect or delete This is ridiculously speculative and subject to change. There's also virtually no info - so Disney are releasing a film in 2018?

- Delete or Redirect to something else: Perfect example of Wikipedia:TenPoundHammer's Law. The so-called sources for the items show just how lacking in any WP:RS this subject (film releases years in advance) are. The direct references are to blog-like news sites that list things like "Source: Sony / Columbia Pictures" with no links for proof. Even if there was a direct studio source: Hollywood claims for things 5 years in advance are possibly even less reliable than educated guesses by media critics; they're "leaked" to manipulate someone else in the industry — maybe mass media, maybe just some individuals — with no relation to whether it will actually happen. Even if the proposals are verified to be "official" somehow, it will end up being the Ship of Theseus by the time 2018 rolls around. The chances of any article made in 2013 having any relation to film reality in 2018 is about zero, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and article space is not the place for rough drafts of an article that can't be reliable yet. --Closeapple (talk) 02:53, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG or WP:CORP.

- These articles are WP:ROUTINE coverage of the company's press releases and not suitable for establishing notability. Msnicki (talk) 16:36, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That's why press releases are released to the press, isn't it?! This isn't PRNewswire, it's a major Indian news publication. What would you expect the coverage to be about, other than the activities of the company? Sounds more like an IDONTLIKEIT, or ITSNOTAMERICAN argument to me. Sionk (talk) 16:47, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Well, of the three Business Standard sources, one is a press release, two are substantial articles. In my view that meets the very minimum standards for notability. They're not trivial and they're not press releases and they're published in a reliable national news source. The company is floated in the national stock exchange, all these things pointed towards it being notable, IMO, when I moved it from AfC. Sionk (talk) 17:38, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep In my opinion the article must not be removed as there are plenty of reliable independent secondary sources to establish its notability as required by WP. The news in Moneycontrol.com which is India’s No. 1 Financial Portal and the news in Business Standard sounds its suitability for establishing notability. The company has several times received awards for outstanding Export Performance from Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC). The company has also received the “Four Star Export House” certificate from the Joint Director of Foreign Trade, Government of India in June 2009. — Anna570108 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- The moneycontrol.com article is just investor information.

- Keep. For one thing The Economic Times ("the world's second-most widely read English-language business newspaper, after the Wall Street Journal") ranks this company at #103 on their list of the top 500 companies in India, with revenues around $1.5 Billion. It is a publicly traded company, "sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies," (see WP:LISTED). There are at least 8 pages of Google news hits, yes some of them are trivial or reprints of press releases, but many are references to reliable, independent news sources doing their due diligence in reporting on the finances of a major, notable, public company. The refs I found (quite quickly) are too numerous to list here, and I was just looking at English language sources covering a multinational corporation in an area of the world where English is not the predominant language. -Wine Guy~Talk 21:48, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. I have no view about this person, but I wish to point out that those searching may find a Harry Giese who was the Commonwealth of Australia Protector of Aborigonal people in the Northern Territory of Australia. He may well justify an article as he was noted frequently in newspapers of the period. His wife, Nan Guise, well out-lived him, and may also justify an article as she was Chancellor of the Northern Territory University (see http://www.territorystories.nt.gov.au/handle/10070/218077). --Bduke (Discussion) 04:20, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Selective merge. The lede states strong reasons for notability, as a regular narrator (one of two, though the article does not state this) for Die Deutsche Wochenschau throughout its existence from 1940 to 1945 and as the narrator for The Eternal Jew (1940 film) - he is currently mentioned in both articles, even though neither mentions his connection with the other. Although the sourcing currently given in the article is unreliable in Wikipedia terms, the standard GBooks search shows that each of these can be verified from several different reliable sources, though none of the mentions seem to be more than two or three sentences long. This is quite enough to mean that people might see one of these mentions and then look on Wikipedia for further information. However, the rest of the article is problematic - the entire article is an unacknowledged translation of the corresponding article on German Wikipedia (in itself an easily correctable problem), whose entire Leben section (the Career section in this article) seems to have been more or less copied from this web page (not an easily correctable problem). Unless more detailed reliable sources can be found and used in the article, the best option seems to be to turn the article into a redirect to either Die Deutsche Wochenschau or The Eternal Jew (1940 film), adding a brief mention in the target article to his connection with the other. By the way, the Australian official mentioned by User:Bduke seems to meet WP:GNG far more clearly than this Harry Giese - if anyone chooses to write an article on his rather controversial career, then that article should take the Harry Giese title, with a hatnote for the subject of this article.

I just wanna know he did with his time from 1962 to his demise in 1991, that's 29 years of unknown activity, presumably being unemployed and supported by his wife. Failed career and failed presumably orchid ambition so he stayed home and died like a good little Nazi.

- Keep. Passes WP:NACTOR with significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. On a quick search I can't find any lengthy coverage, but there are plenty of sources that confirm his importance. Here he is described as an acoustic symbol of the German state, here he is the great German voice of Nazi propaganda, we find out in this book that he was a football commentator, this one tells us that his voice was so familiar to Germans that his narration of The Eternal Jew would create a sense of intimacy with its viewers and here we learn that he was a favourite of Hitler. In the 1930s and 1940s the newsreel was a major news medium, so one of the two main narrators would be the equivalent of a top TV news presenter today. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:39, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The references you cite, Phil (one line, part of a footnote, for instance) add little to the already thin source material on the voice actor, beyond the much-repeated fact that he was a commentator in propaganda films in Germany during World War II. He seems a very small fish in the murky ocean of Nazism. A literal translation of the original Wikipedia article noted that his death would be of little interest to the German public. But the article unleashed links to the vast amount of online material on Nazi newsreels and nasty racist films, and smeared by association the thousands of other people worldwide who share the actor's surname but not his views. They include the Australian public servant Harry Giese, Heinrich Giese, three Harold Gieses and two Henry Gieses in the United States (for example). The newsreel material is already very prominent on the Web, and linking it to one obscure, singled-out individual is an insult to professionals in science, medicine and welfare who have different life philosophies and who are hurt by association with gangsters and murderers.

Article about a fictional character from the juvenile fantasy novels Warriors series. The author of the article stated it is Fan-Made. The last editor deleted this, including all improvement tags and a PROD. No sources given. Ben Ben (talk) 10:31, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I was originally going to suggest that this get redirected to the page for the list of characters, but I can't really find anything to suggest that this character actually exists within the actual Warriors series. If it does exist, it's likely a minor character overall. In other words, not a major character that would merit a mention in the overall article for clans. There are so many characters in the series as a whole that listing each and every clan member in the character page would be a long and exhaustive process. Stuff like this is better suited for fan wikias and the like. For clarification for people coming in, the series currently spans 30 books. This isn't including the guidebooks, manga volumes, short stories, and unreleased novels- which would bring it closer to about 45-50 books overall (still not including the short stories), if I'm calculating correctly. Many of the arcs focus on a new or different clan, so there's no way that Wikipedia could list each character- there are far too many to list here. And that's assuming that this is a character that shows up in the series at all. The only things I can find for this character are things that suggest that this is a fan made character.

The article has no purpose except to propose a social media hashtag for Hurricane Sandy. This could have been a megastorm or major storm or any number of superlatives of a storm.

But "super storm" is such a vague term, and isn't used all that often in the media, as far as I can tell; if there's any useful information here, it can be better covered in existing articles like cyclone and hurricane.

- STRONG KEEP article needs improvement, undoubtedly, but this is a public figure whose notability is established by significant independent coverage in New Jersey and regional newspapers (SEE: 109 articles in new jersey papers at nj.com [6])--even National and International press coverage of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division's recent "Operation Swill" action (SEE: [7], [8], [9], [10]). Meets WP:N, WP:RS (with many more that can be added), and contrary to what the nominator asserts citing WP:POLITICIAN, I think the above links are just the beginning of "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists.

- Weak Keep This one's tough, but I think it just barely passes the minimum. What clinches it for me is that this article has potential to grow. If the author went back and added a bunch of sourced info right now, I would change my vote to strong keep. SOXROX (talk) 14:25, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @Soxrock24: Seeing how lacking it is and seeing this AfD, I am planning to address this article once I get a few other pressing things out of the way. I was one of two main contributors to the FA Alcohol laws of New Jersey, so I'm rather familiar with Halfacre's work as New Jersey's ABC Director. As the news has commented, he's the first ABC director since 1933 to run the office firmly knowing that Prohibition is over. Rest assured, in the next few weeks this will be a much improved article. --ColonelHenry (talk) 16:05, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep just passes notability guidelines, barely. 069952497a (U-T-C-E) 19:33, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep This article is in need of improvement, not deletion. State cabinet members and the heads of state executive agencies are generally notable. In fact, all 50 states have a category listing cabinet members - Category:State cabinet secretaries of the United States. The WP:BIO standard states that "a person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Halfacre has had significant coverage in multiple regional and national newspapers, thus easily fulfilling that requirement. Without searching too hard, I found articles on him in the The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The Boston Globe.

- Delete For a specialist weapon such as this I would expect evidence that it was at least trialled for adoption by the armed services of a major power, or some other exceptional reason for considering it as notable. Without reliable sources I do take exception to the use of the present tense in the article; as commented elsewhere there is a world of difference between patent designs, which can be considered 'vapourware', and the physical object, and even in a stub that should be made clear. If the editor knew of an extant example of the gun he should have provided a source, if all he knew of it was the patent he should have made that explicit. Stubs are necessarily short - they should not mislead. I do not object to use of patents for providing details of a design because if the gun had been manufactured in accordance with the patent it might be the best, and possibly only, source for its construction and policy permits that. But it cannot establish notability. --AJHingston (talk) 11:56, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I turned this into a redirect nearly three years ago when trying to help reduce the backlog of uncategorized pages. The page has no prose whatsoever and no references, the stats are just spit out without any sort of formatting or even names of the athletes involved. Per Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of statistics I don't believe there is any encyclopedic value in listing the individual places each nation came in in a seperate article when there is already the article Swimming at the 2001 World Aquatics Championships. Without evidence of some sort of critical commentary on this specific event this is doomed never to be anything more than what it is now, even if the formatting issues are fixed. There's just not really anything much to say about it.
So, i was going to use proposed deletion, but upon looking a little deeper I found that there are several of these sub-articles that are basically nothing but lists of stats, which is not surprising because the only sources used to construct them were... wait for it... lists of stats. I will therefore be bundling them all into this nomination so that the community can decide if we should have these articles at all. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:04, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- And here comes the rest of them:
- Swimming at the 2001 World Aquatics Championships – Men's 50 metre freestyle (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Swimming at the 2001 World Aquatics Championships – Men's 400 metre freestyle (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

- Swimming at the 2001 World Aquatics Championships – Men's 200 metre butterfly (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- As you can see the articles (with the exception of the first one that is unsourced and unformatted at this time) are virtually identical and rely on the same two sources which offer no commentary upon which to base an article. I think citing these sources at the parent article is sufficient, those wanting this level of detail for these results can go there and find it. I explicitly am not advocating merging them (although I would not object to redirecting them all to the parent article without merging) as I don't believe we should have long lists of sports (or any other) statistics. A stats table does not an encyclopedia article make, and as there seems little to nothing more to say about these events we should not have these articles at all, instead summarizing the entire main event as is already done at the parent article.

- Keep These articles are common in Wikipedia and just haven't been expanded yet. User:Bwilkins actually tried to do this exact thing (except with his admin powers without any input), but the majority of the community was against such actions and his mass deletions were reversed. Look at Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics or Swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Every single event has a respective article (and they look better admittedly), but these articles will get there some day with work. At the moment, these articles can be looked at as stubs. Philipmj24 (talk) 22:52, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete There's no need for an individual article for any of these - they all belong in one single article about the championships that year. They should have stayed deleted the first time - the only reason they were restored was basically the equivalent of a WP:REFUND request at ANI. There's been plenty of time to try and improve these articles and it clearly cannot be done. As such, they're invalid WP:CFORK from one main article (✉→BWilkins←✎) 23:18, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I hardly think pages such as Swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metre freestyle or Swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metre butterfly are "CFORK" from one article. Of course, that rash thinking is what led to that incident in the first place. Philipmj24 (talk) 23:27, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the first only: while precedent (the other World Aquatics Championships from 1998 on) suggests we should have them, someone seems to have forgotten about this one from 2001 - the article isn't up to standard, and there's no indication that it'll be improved.

- I'm not buying the idea that they are just stubs that could be expanded. Expanded with what? As I mentioned in the nomination (I know, it was super long) the only sources are lists of stats. Unless there are other sources out there that have yet to be revealed, they literally cannot be expanded beyond their present state. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:44, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- My argument is one of consistency (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, if you will) - articles of this sort exist for all other World Aquatics Championships since 1998, as well as other competitions such as the Olympics. If you think this is indiscriminate, then every single article of this sort is indiscriminate, and should be deleted? Ansh666 23:54, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Beeblebrox, look at the two examples I listed above. Although they are far from it, they have the potential of being those types of articles. And yes, precedent is important.

- (edit conflict) (although it still applies as answer to this post as well) While we aren't debating that wider issue here, yes, I believe all articles like this, with no hope of ever being anything beyond a list of statistics, should be deleted.

- To add, in the 1500 metre race at the 2001 World Aquatics Championships, Hackett smashed the world record that stood until 2011. In the 400 metre race, Thorpe also broke the world record.

- Question: in what way is this topic well covered in the respective athletes' articles? (Msrasnw (talk) 14:20, 4 July 2013 (UTC))[reply]
- As someone pointed out above, we are going for notability, not specifics. There are plenty of Websites other than Wikipedia devoted to covering every heat of every race. Let those Websites carry out their mission and Wiki carry out its own. That said, the respective athletes' Articles would have their medal records with dates and names of tournaments and events.

- Just because an article is a stub, that isn't a reason to delete it is it? Also, this isn't just about the results. World records were set. Notable events (with sources to back them up) occurred.

- Did you actually read the entire nomination? I ask because you somehow seemed to have missed my mention of WP:NOTSTATS, which is part of WP:NOT, which means I have in fact provided a perfectly valid reason for deletion. I mean, it's straight from the list of what Wikipedia is not for, so, pretty valid. Now, if you want to argue that these articles aren't just indiscriminate lists of statistics that's another story, but just baldly saying no reason was provided is easily proven false.

Fails WP:CORP. At first glance, it would appear that this is a tertiary education provider. It is not. From its website:
ACE Engineering College is the brain child of "ACE Engineering Academy" the leading institute in Hyderabad in coaching prospective Engineering graduates for GATE [Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering] for admissions in M.E./M.Tech/MS in IISc, Bangalore and various IITs/NITs and various universities...
It is a private coaching business for students studying for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering.
Note: It would appear that "ACE College of Engineering" is a Kerala branch and/or franchise of the Hyderabad-based ACE Engineering Academy. Both are apparently private coaching businesses for students studying for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering.

Subject recieves no coverage in media. A google news search brings up nothing. It's a small airline that owns 3 small planes, so that fact is hardly suprising. As the article is not notable or covered by reliable sources it should be deleted. ★★RetroLord★★ 09:32, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep there is "significant coverage independant of the subject", not only the Courier Mail, but Australian Aviation (which is Australia's foremost aviation industry magazine - I would class other aviation magazines in this country as primarily written for enthusiasts or people learning to fly), which has also had a two-page article about the subject in the middle of last year. There are articles in several other Queensland newspapers, including from Mackay and Rockhampton (both fairly large regional centres). Coverage will increase with time, but as I said there is already significant coverage now. YSSYguy (talk) 08:01, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep - The shoddy excuse for deletion was invalid several days if not weeks before this AfD was started. Per WP:AGF I will not judge this as anything other than a mistake. PantherLeapord (talk) 23:27, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Firstly I must declare that I work for JETGO, but nevertheless feel it may be helpful if I respond. I was not aware that popularity is criteria of Wikipedia. The comments made regarding the amount of media coverage we receive are interesting, but fail to understand that jet charter by nature, and its clients particularly value; exclusivity, confidentiality and privacy. As a result JETGO does not give media interviews or issue media releases. I will go as far as to say we try our best to avoid the media.
- Yes we are a small charter airline with 3 Embraer Regional Jets in service, and a fourth undergoing pre-delivery in the USA.
- Is the company significant??? I will leave that to others to judge; however JETGO is the only operator in Australia of true regional jets (in the sub 70 seat market), it gained a jet AOC (for both domestic & international operations) in a remarkably short time frame last year. When I joined the company 9 months ago we had just one jet, today we have 3 and a 4th scheduled by September. And the company is profitable. In the last year we operated commercial flights into 42 towns & cities around Australia and Asia. A remarkable achievement by Jason Ryder & Arron Mulder (and the rest of the small team).
- If I was asked about deleting the JETGO Wikipedia article 6 months ago I would have fully supported the notion. But considering that Wikipedia is such an important reference tool for so many, particularly those interested in aviation, the fact there is a page is something I now have no issue with, providing the content is accurate.
- Over the next 18 months JETGO is likely to add another 5 jets and will expand into some RPT operations, you will also see our aircraft in more places including charter services as far away as London, so I expect there will be more media coverage about us.PaulBredereck (talk) 04:09, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep Just because the company operates a relatively small fleet is not grounds to delete the article. WP:CORP notability guidelines state "Arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations or their products". As the original creator of the article, this company was brought to my attention through media coverage in The Courier Mail via news.com.au, so I do not accept the argument that the media coverage is only local and trivial in scope. Australian-based aviation companies with similar fleet sizes and less cited sources are well represented on Wikipedia, many as stub articles which remain unchallenged. Given JETGO is distinct from other small charter operators in the Australian resources sector FIFO market by way of its business model operating sub 50 seat pure jet aircraft, a fact which has been documented in Australian Aviation and Flight Global as well as current expansion I believe deletion of this article would be inappropriate.

Crackpot ideas don't need wiki articles. See the following discussions: 1 and 2. The "theory" is just nonsense based on quack ideas and numerology. Wikipedia should not promote such nonsense quack rubbish. Dimension10 (talk) 05:30, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but stubbify and rewrite. Although "Heim's theory" (of a different Heim) in linguistics will generate more hits in a google search, this rejected theory of everything deserves a short stub which makes it clear that the theory has not been accepted. At present the article is very poorly written with misleading unwarranted tables and obvious failings even in the lede. Reducing it to a stub with a prominent section on criticisms would solve those problems. A similar failed theory of everything is ECE theory. (This is a repetition of what I wrote in December 2012.) Mathsci (talk) 05:35, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It is much worse than ECE. As far as I know, ECE didn't turn to things like numerology and astrology and crackpot reasoning but it had a fatal error . Dimension10 (talk) 09:12, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I couldn't say whether it's better or worse. The article on ECE theory is written conservatively. Many errors were pointed out in the mathematics. (Off-wikipedia claims have also been made about its superiority to the standard model, applications to "new" phenomena that were probably scams, etc.) The main point here however is how an article should be written on a fringe theory that has had no mainstream acceptance. It seems that the options are either for no article at all or a shortish stub. Mathsci (talk) 09:32, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Stubbify and rewrite or redirect to Burkhard Heim. The objection against the article as it stands is that it deceptively claims that the theory has some sort of standing in the scientific community, which it doesn't in the remotest degree. Attempts that I and others to mitigate these false claims have been removed by the partisans. The previous Afds are worth looking at. ECE theory treats a similar situation nicely. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:50, 14 July 2013 (UTC).[reply]
- Comparison with ECE is meaningless. See my comment above^. Dimension10 (talk) 09:12, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral for the moment. The question really is not whether the theory is a good one or a stupid one, but whether if it is a notable one. There are a lot of references. Even a reference to a reliable source that says "There is no scientific basis whatever for Heim's Theory" would be an argument for keeping the article. Cleanup is probably the best option.Deb (talk) 07:34, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The question is not about notability. It is about advertisement of crackpot nonsense. Dimension10 (talk) 08:59, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment It is not a mainstream theory, and is on par with things like [www.laporte-bryan.com LaPorte Bryan's Theory of Everything], and other such nonsense. Such unmathematical ideas which claim to be TOEs should not be promoted here, as it only fuels the crackpot industry. Dimension10 (talk) 07:34, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. per WP:GNG, and WP:UNDUE. As far as I can tell, this theory does not have widespread acceptance in the scientific community. Also, the only real promotion seems to be from one or two of Heim's disciples, such as Walter Drocher, who may have been written about in an article here or there; and who may have spoken at a scientific conference here or there. However, even with this being the case, I am not seeing a lot of main stream coverage in the media; certainly not enough coverage in the media to say this article is notable per WP:RS. As far as I can tell, even this article's references do not link to reliable sources and therefore do not demonstrate notability per WP:GNG. Also, I'm not seeing anything pertaining to this theory on Google Scholar whether I use "Heim theory", "Heim theory of everything", or "B.Heim". All I get is articles related to Linguistics. So, in other words, I am not seeing any print, except unacceptable WP:RS, thatsaysimplies this theoryis widely acceptedhas merit; and I am not seeing any print, except unacceptable WP:RS, that this says this theory has been discredited. At the same time, judging from the online physics forums and a couple of other online items, I personally believe this theory does not have merit. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 17:31, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. WP:FRINGE is probably more helpful than WP:UNDUE here. In particular, the nom is quite wrong when he says "Crackpot ideas don't need wiki articles." Notable ones do (although I have no opinion regarding the notability of this theory). -- 202.124.88.39 (talk) 03:32, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Here we go again. Notable per WP:GNG: see for a quick example coverage in books. That said, the nomination rationale is invalid. Is it crackpottery? Sure thing. Is "crackpottery" a deletion rationale? Not at all. Notable crackpot theories are still notable. By having this article, Wikipedia does not "promote" anything, we just describe a wacky theory that exists. NPOV/UNDUE problems can be solved by editing, so they're not a reason to delete, per deletion policy. -- cyclopiaspeak! 08:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Wikipedia is not here to decide what is right, what is crackpot, but what is WP:NOTABLE, and this theory is notable, even the New Scientist comic has an article about it. Some people may WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT, but that is not a reason for deletion. If there is another theory of the same name, then create another article for that theory, having a more notable theory is not a valid reason for deletion for the lesser one. If there are reliable sources calling it crackpot, then call it crackpot.Martin451 (talk) 12:24, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Change to Keep , per GNG, and make it a stub per WP:FRINGE. Thanks to Cyclopia for providing the book sources. There is nothing to indicate that this is an accepted theory in the scientific community. However, the sources show that some people are at least interpreting Heim theory with unique perspectives. Yet, in contrast, one source from Springer (by K.F. Long) appears to be a serious scientific endeavor, and on page 295 it states: "Heim theory is not studied as part of mainstream scientific research today". [22]. So, it seems the "stub" should probably be written from this perspective. Also, in the beginning of the New Scientist article, it states that the awarded paper is based on an "idea [that] relies on an obscure and largely unrecognized kind of physics". Additionally, the New Scientist article does not appear to state anything conclusive about the theory, and does seem to depict the theory as unproven ( Full text copy here || New Scientist site - paywall ). ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 17:26, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That would be fine if you or somebody else would undertake to do the stubbing. The same conclusion was reached in the previous AfD but nobody did anything. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:12, 19 July 2013 (UTC).[reply]
- OK. Yeah, I would be glad to do it. I can probably do it within the next couple of hours. Also, this is a WP:SNOW, anyway. Also, I just noticed that there may be sources available at the 3rd AfD to help with the stubification and notability. Somehow I missed the third AfD. I did review the firat two, however.

Promotional article for very small museum, with only very local sources. It's already adequately discussed in a short paragraph on List of Route 66 museums. I bring it here instead of just redirecting because I think the article should be deleted first, and then a new redirect made. DGG ( talk ) 03:41, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The list article was created as a means of covering museums for which we only have a paragraph or so of info, so not enough for an article on each. To cut this one down to fit would require removal of valid, sourced info (and the criterion for sources is reliability, which has little to do with their being "very local" - the National Enquirer isn't local) K7L (talk) 10:48, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I agree. There's nothing wrong with the sourced info. I'm not as familiar as some of you with all the considerations that go into retaining Wikipedia entries, but as someone who knows something about the museum itself, I'd have to say that it hasn't had much national notice outside of Route 66-related organizations because it's specialized and it hasn't been around as long as other, larger museums; but that in itself doesn't disqualify it. The citations may be from local media, but I don't think that should disqualify it, either. Moreover, it's related to another entry already on Wikipedia about a piece of public art that no longer exists, called Spindle -- except for the two pieces of that sculpture that remain with this museum. I doubt you can get all that into one or two sentences on this other page, and I don't see the reason for such short shrift.Mrtraska (talk) 23:05, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteMerge. Much as I love this kind of little museum, this one doesn't seem to meet the criteria of WP:ORG, which are required for a stand-alone article. Specifically, "attention solely from local media [...] is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary." Almost all the sources in the article are from the local newspaper; all the GNews hits are from Romeoville, which is about 25mi (40km) away. The Chicago Magazine source in the article doesn't mention the museum by name and the Auto Channel source is primarily about an event and only mentions the museum briefly. Most of what I could find with Google was blogs and directories. There's no reason that the single sentence at List of Route 66 museums#Berwyn_Route_66_Museum can't be expanded to a couple of paragraphs, incorporating some of the information from the current article. The result could be similar in style to something like List of recurring The Simpsons characters.

- Unfortunately, the lack of notice outside the immediate area is what does disqualify the article. For a topic to have an article on Wikipedia, it must be notable, which has a specific meaning, here: it must have received "significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject." The additional guidelines for organizations and companies explicitly say that "attention solely from local media [...] is not an indication of notability". The problem with sourcing only on local media is that local newspapers tend to write about every tiny thing that happens in the town, and they often print pretty much what the subject of an article wants them to print. That means they're not good for judging the importance of subjects and they're often not really independent sources. On the other hand, if you can find some non-local sources that give reasonably in-depth coverage to the museum, then the article would most likely be kept. If the article is merged into the page on Route 66 museums, it doesn't have to be just one or two sentences. If you look at the Simpsons characters page I linked above, it has several long paragraphs about some of its entries (e.g., about 500 words on Jebediah Springfield). Dricherby (talk) 23:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The guideline on "organisations" might be appropriate if we were attempting to determine whether an organisation (such as Berwyn Arts Council) is notable, but it does not even mention museums per se. It seems to be intended for national-level entities such as the Red Cross. K7L (talk) 12:32, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think WP:ORG is appropriate. The lead of that page describes it as applying to "a group of more than one person formed together for a purpose. This includes commercial and non-commercial activities, such as charitable organizations, educational institutions, hospitals, institutions, interest groups, social clubs, companies, partnerships, proprietorships, religious denominations, sects, etc." The museum is a group of more than one person (its staff) formed together for a purpose (displaying exhibits etc.). The section WP:NONPROFIT explicitly talks about organizations with local scope so applicability is definitely not restricted to national or international bodies.

- Mrtraska had suggested that merging the article into the list of Route 66 museums would mean reducing it to a couple of sentences. I pointed out the list of Simpsons characters to show that this is not the case: it's perfectly possible to have a "List of..." article that has several paragraphs about some entries. I'm not sure what you mean by saying that the museum is a "unique snowflake" since every snowflake is unique and we don't have an article about every little thing just because it's unique. And I'm not sure what you mean by saying that it "definitely meets WP:LOCAL". WP:LOCAL says that we shouldn't have articles about things that are of purely local interest. Unless there are sources from a wider area than Berwyn's immediate surroundings, WP:LOCAL says that the museum probably shouldn't have an article of its own. Dricherby (talk) 08:46, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:LOCAL is about commercial businesses, churches and hospitals - all of which serve a primarily local clientèle. Most of the Route 66 tourists seem to be seasonal visitors from Europe and other faraway places, not Chicago locals. It's as irrelevant as the Simpsons to this (doh!) K7L (talk) 09:01, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- From the lead of WP:LOCAL: "places and people, including but not limited to [my emphasis] churches, historic buildings, breweries, people, pubs, malls, masts, neighbourhoods, parks, schools, stations, highways and streets, that may be well-known locally, but little-known outside the community in question." This says nothing about having a local clientele: for example, a gas station by the interstate doesn't suddenly fall out of the scope of WP:LOCAL just because it's used by drivers from all over the country who happen to need gas in that location. The problem that we have here is that there seem to be no sources from outside the immediate area of Berwyn that demonstrate the notability of this museum. Do you have a source that indicates that most of the visitors to the museum are tourists from other continents? Dricherby (talk) 09:40, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm new here, but I believe that Lindsay Fleay is very notable in filmaking. Despite the recent emergence of a film featuring Lego characters from 1973, it is acknowledged that he invented the modern art of Brickfilms. The Magic Portal is a very influential work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jde4qHbCtSg Lindsay also created the characters from the famous "digital rain" graphic from the Matrix film. This is arguably one of the most recognisable movie images of the CG era of filmmaking. He is credited here: Work,_51 and here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/fullcredits for his work on The Matrix. At the time of my writing this, The Magic Portal has over 666,000 views on YouTube! --Eltweedo (talk) 10:00, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your constributions Eltweedo. Please understand that notable is not the same as "famous" or "important" and relies on significant coverage in reliable sources. There are varying standards of notability for various categories of articles, and this article would fall under WP:WEB and WP:FILMMAKER.
- I'm not sure that brickfilms meet the standard of a "significant new concept, theory, or technique" laid out in WP:FILMMAKER. While there are community sites based around brickfilms, the idea of making stop-motion films using common objects was not significantly new at the time, and dates back decades. Please also review WP:WEB and WP:BIGNUMBER. Specifically, the following:
Similarly, a website may be notable, but the owners or authors do not "inherit" notability due to the web content they wrote.
A commonly seen argument at AfD is "Subject has X number of Y, that's notable/non-notable". Notability isn't determined by something's quantity of members, but rather by the quality of the subject's verifiable, reliable sources that I could find. An article on a topic is more likely to pass the notability test with a single article in Encyclopedia Britannica than because it has 1 million views on YouTube.
- The Matrix information is not covered in the article or any reliable sources that I could find. IMDB is not considered a reliable source per WP:USERGENERATED, and none of the sites you listed say that he "created the characters". While Animal Logic did produce the digital rain graphic, Lindsay Fleay is one of a couple dozen people listed on the Animal Logic site as having worked on the film, and the only source on the Matrix digital rain article is Lindsay's own resume which doesn't actually state that he personally "created the characters", only that he "built the motif", which could mean just that he was on the team that made the effect.--Ahecht (TALK

- Comment OK, now I'm confused. I did find what appears to be a significant media report about the event, written in 1960. The report makes the event sound notable, but it gives a different founding date and names a different founder from the information listed in the article. If we can resolve this discrepancy the article could be a keeper; otherwise I think we have to remove it as unverified. --MelanieN (talk) 16:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, the coverage I found about that "other" ball (founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune) was more detailed and significant than the coverage about the one in this article (founded in 1949 by Miss Mary-Stuart Montague Price) and IMO is more deserving of an article than the one we now have. --MelanieN (talk) 19:16, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the news items I found about the current subject were along the lines of "Miss so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so, will make her debut at the NDCTB" - in other words, not significant. But some of the items you found by adding Montague-Price to the search could bring the subject up to notability, particularly this one.

- Comment I was not aware that the poster was fan made because of the logos on the bottom corners. I've seen fanmade posters in the past that did not have any studio logos on the poster. But as for what I think should be done with the article: redirect to the article. I'll use Rio 2 as an example since that is the last article I created that was a candidate for deletion. It was a maybe then, but it ended up being a movie that is going to happen.

- There should never be any reason to take a random Facebook picture of a tentative movie article and use it as the infobox image as you can easily find film posters pretty much anywhere, and why would a 2015 film project have any key art in the first place. Just because it has logos doesn't mean that it's real; it's called Photoshop and it's very easy to do. In fact if you had done some WP:BEFORE and typed 'alvin and the chipmunks' into Google Image Search, #4 is this image, with Alvin reversed and the background changed.

- I'm aware of photoshop. I don't use it, but I use GIMP, so I know what can be done with photo manipulation programs. But I wasn't aware that studios didn't re use images. Well I knew about that image you linked to, but I figured it was an early poster [for Alvin and the Chipmunks 4]. An early poster for Ice Age 4, for example, used stock images from the first, if I remember right. But after this, I doubt that one was real now, but who knows. It was in a photograph, not an image like this one.--BarrettM82 Contact 19:51, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The subject does not meet the WP:GNG. Although I cannot easily assess the existence of print rerefences to the subject, there is no significant online coverage of the subject in either English or German (searching for "Bucher Flugzeugschlepper"). There are some listed for sale; there are a couple of WP:SPSes listing all equipment of the Swiss military on which it is mentioned. There is one ref listed in the article, this being the operations manual for the vehicle. There was another ref listed, the Schweizerische Militärmuseum Full, but I removed this as I could not find any mention of the subject in the museum's website. There are two ELs in the article, one is a listing in a WP:SPS database of all Swiss military vehicles; the other is a database listing on the official Swiss Armed Forces database of all its equipment. I removed some other ELs, which were links to youtube videos; a link to an image on a SPS and a link to an image on a blogspot page. I also edited to remove a large amount of material which appears to have been translated from the German WP article on the subject, but which isn't properly referenced there either and may be WP:OR. None of what I removed demonstrates notabililty of the subject, nor does what remains in the article now. YSSYguy (talk) 01:06, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Generic proposal for aircraft tractors. Jane's Airports, Equipment and Services for the appropriate period might well help establish notability, though I do not have a copy to hand. But I agree there is insufficient notable material for a standalone article, especially once the trivia are pruned. However I think Pushback is not the right home because this article is part of a wider problem: there are several articles similar to this one and some have also been tagged for AfD. The list, tagged and untagged, includes (but may not be limited to):
- Bunching them all together into one article seems a bad idea, as the infoboxes would become overpowering. So I'd suggest the default would be to include them on the manufacturer's page(s) or, if there is no such page, use a bit of WP:COMMONSENSE. For example the Bucher and MOWAG-AEG tractors were designed specifically for the Swiss Air Force so they can go on that operator's page(s), possibly a new Swiss Air Force ground equipment page.

If the article creator would just produce his sources that demonstrate Notability - he edited the original article on the German WP as well, of which this is basically a translation - then there is no issue; but I'm not finding any. I have found a total of 18 ghits for "Bucher FS 10 Flugzeugschlepper" of which there is a WP:SPS; a website reviewing the SPS; a german-language aircraft discussion forum; a scale modellers' forum; some WP mirror sites; a company selling military surplus equipment that has some for sale; a couple of images; and a couple of Swiss governmental web pages. Searching for "Bucher FS 10" yields 27 ghits, but apart from those brought up by the first search it's more modellers' forums, more images and more WP mirror sites. Again, please produce sources demonstrating notability. YSSYguy (talk) 04:41, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. It is the sort of thing that will have been researched because it's the sort of thing that certain men (well mostly men) are interested in - in that regard aircraft tractors are like trains or cars or buses or trucks or planes or whatever. That you don't have a basic understanding of this is somewhat disheartening, but you clearly don't, and without such an understanding, you won't be able to find any references because you won't be looking in the right places. The right places to look will be in print books, in German, by certain men. If you haven't checked these properly, (and you haven't) then IMHO you shouldn't be nominating this for deletion. Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:21, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thinking of the wider context, what if this were an American equipment for an American operator? A lack of Google hits or the language barrier would not stop a torrent of references from the specialist press. But because this is Swiss/German nobody is looking. Are we going to keep American articles but delete non-English articles just because the formalities are harder to work through? We need to look in all of the English, German, French and Italian specialist presses. Surely the least we can do is allow the non-English article a good long breathing space. Above I suggested Jane's Jane's Airports, Equipment and Services. Has anybody been able to look? (apologies but I simply do not have the time). — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 09:19, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I can go to work in the morning, drive around on the apron, and find aircraft tugs manufactured in several different countries, but I very much doubt that any of them would be notable, regardless of their country of origin. As for keeping American articles, I PRODded articles about two American aircraft tugs a few days ago - those articles have no references at all. Even a database listing in Jane's for those and the Bucher would not equate to Notability for any of them. YSSYguy (talk) 13:32, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- But they aren't advertised on WP:DELMIL and you didn't PROD the most likely to invoke defense, the M2 High Speed Tractor from WWII, which is equally poorly referenced.

- Keep I dont agree with YSSYguy s deleting, also the deleting of one of the fact sheets links relatet to the official VBS page about this aircrafttug just because ther its writen it uses aviatic fuel and on the private page about it diesel fuel. In fact it was made to use aviaticfuel but because of the poison additiv ethoxol (anti-ice) the air force switchet to diesel (it would stil run with both). I also dont agree of the deleting of the pictures, because they act also as referenc that this tug is used for differend Aircrafttypes and as tractor for weapons trailer (AIM-9) (and the only civil user the JuAir), the youtube clip acts as reference for the use of the floorlight in the aircraft cavern. It is on one hand a page about a Swiss air Force gound vehicle but it is on the other hand also a page about one of the MOWAG (former Bucher) vehicle. It was not easy to find material/references about it in german, but in the end it was enough to keep the page on the german wikipedia.

- Well any aircraft tug can be used to move any aircraft for which it is rated, and can be used to tow trailers as well, so none of the images demonstrate Notability. I didn't delete the fact sheet link - you had it as an External Link, I moved it to the References section where it belongs. I tagged a sentence about the vehicle using diesel because of the fact sheet, now you have removed the tag without providing a reference. So, I have a question: is the material you are adding to the article based on what you personally know about the vehicle? YSSYguy (talk) 06:59, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Isee where you come from, but not any aircraft tug can used on any aircraft (an aircrafttype can be too heavy) I just wantet to point out that this one can be used for every aircraft type in the Swiss Air Force (pulling a full loaded F/A-18 uphill brings it to its limits. This is the reason why at Meiringen AFB also the bigger Douglas aircraft tug are, to pull the F/A-18 into and out of the cavern). It is possibel to pull other stuff as a aircraft with most of the aircraft tug, but the Swiss Air Force use only this type as tractor for the engine-start trailer and so one and for the "carello"Team (the team who has to change the wheel if an aircraft with a flat tire block the runway). I tryed to give to every informatin I add on the page a reference, the fact sheets, the pictures (as reference to the JuAir part), pictures of differend aircraft used with this aircraft tug (DHC-6, Fa900,F/A-18 , Puma/Cougar, BAe Hawk) and the youtube clip as referenc for the work with it in a aircraft cavern. In the Military Museum Full is such a Aircraft Tug with a description plate, it is not shown or listet on the homepage (like many other vehicles there also for eg. the MOWAG Shark,M-113, NVA T-72 Tank and so on).e Some things I postet here (and not on the page) for eg the story about the avation petrol / diesel, or the carello team I can't prove with a reference because this are things i just personnally know about the vehicle (and this dosent count on wikipedia) because I made the driving permission for it in 2000.

- "not any aircraft tug can used on any aircraft (an aircrafttype can be too heavy)" - which is why I wrote "any aircraft tug can be used to move any aircraft for which it is rated". As for the rest, basically it's notable because you say it is; as all you have is the tug's operations manual, a plaque in a museum, a database entry listing basic specifications of the vehicle and nothing else, some pictures taken by you or a friend of yours, some other pictures that are of such poor quality it's impossible to tell what sort of tug is depicted, and a Youtube video that doesn't even mention the vehicle by name - we only 'know' it's a Bucher because you tell us it is.

@YSSYguy and whats about the links to the official and inoffical webside datapages you saw by your self? Sorry but if you have a look at this sheets and then at the photos (even SOME but not all have a bad quality) and the youtube clip you can clearly see that it is the same type.I don't see why you critisze this evidences, it is obviously that the clip and the photos show this, also no one put this in question on the german wikipedia. It is disapointing that you put in so much efford to delet this page. FFA P-16 (talk) 22:53, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@MilborneOne, it is not only to see as article about ground equipment in aviatic, it is also part of the topic swiss Military vehicles, and it is not a stand-alone because it is part of differend sub pages who dealing with MOWAG vehicles in detail.

- Keep or merge. There will almost certainly be usable information in Jane's, though it will be a while till I have a chance to check for myself. Deleting because of the absence of online sources is absurd, except for those relatively few topics that will certainly have them if they are at all notable . Sandstein's second proposal, to merge to a article on Aircraft tractor is what would otherwise make the most sense. Considerations such a "very limited use" are not appropriate for an encyclopedia-- Wikipedia is not an abridged encyclopedia limited to the most commonly used topics (the German Wikipedia, which has considerably stricter notability requirements in general than we do, at one point intended to limit itself to 1 million articles, and even they have gone over --they're at 1.6 million by now.) Subject that are part of industrial infrastructure are greatly under-represented. That they are uninteresting to the majority of likely users should not be a factor--almost all topics on WP are of interest only to a minority, but together they make up a comprehensive encyclopedia. DGG ( talk ) 04:42, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep DGG sums it up nicely. The nominator can't reach paper sources, so delete this? Pardon? As an aside, I would advise the article needs substantial cleanup but by no means deletion. Maybe if the aviation project could expend as much energy in improving these types of articles as they do trying to delete them, we'd have a substantially enriched encylopedia.

- Jimminy Jillikers, RamblingMan! Are you adopting a position opposite to the alleged "cabal" you have been banging on about lo these many weeks as a matter of personal policy? If it is mentioned in Jane's (which is not yet shown to be the case) of course there will be useful information, it's a directory, but an entry in a directory does not demonstrate Notability. It will have some specifications and be evidence that it exists, but you and I exist and we aren't Notable (as far as I know - you aren't some famous dude lurking on WP and accusing people of sinister behaviour for shits and giggles are you?). No-one has yet come up with anything demonstrating Notability, but we have several people arguing "keep, because there simply must be something about it out there"; or "merge into something else", but how is a list of vehicles with no significant coverage any better than a set of articles about vehicles with no significant coverage? YSSYguy (talk) 09:54, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @RamblingMan. If you dig that little bit further, you will see that most of those AfDs are posted by an IP editor. There are no IP editors in the list of project members, so you can't so quickly blame the members for that. Of course you could follow up the AfD discussions and gather stats on what members have said individually and collectively, or if you are suspicious of IP sockpuppetry, ask for that to be investigated. Or you could just accept that paranoia is a life hazard. ;-) — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:22, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
BIO1E, NOTMEMORIAL. Apparently a promising mountain climbing talent who died at a young age. All the information on him comes from his obits, which indicate that he was climbing difficult sport climbing routes at an early age, without any indication of where or what (thus the sources show he is notable not for his accomplishments, but for his death). He has no notability outside of climbing, and not having won any trophies or competitions in climbing, he does not meet GNG, ATHLETE, or any other specialized notability guidelines. MSJapan (talk) 22:04, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Traversa does not meet the notability standard for an athlete. The guidelines, set out at WP:SPORTCRIT are intended to reflect the fact that sports figures are likely to meet Wikipedia's basic standards of inclusion if they have, for example, participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level. The very limited coverage of Traversa indicates that, although very talented for his age, he did not come anywhere near the basic standard required to be truly considered a notable climber. He may have had potential, but did not have time to fulfill it. Accordingly, keeping the article would effectively be a memorial to a talented younger athlete, but not in accordance per the WP policy. Wikipeterproject (talk) 12:10, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep He's notable enough. He was the youngest person to make a 5.14 graded climb (the standard of climbing when using that scale). He was also (using UTC) the first 10 year old to make a 5.14 climb (a few hours earlier than Brooke Raboutou, who is a two weeks older).

- OK, let me justify that what I have written is not only a personal opinion. Wikipedia is considered an union of all specialized encyclopedias, am I right? If yes, it should include all records of a hypothetic "encyclopedia of sport climbing". In such an encyclopedia there should be a place for Traversa's biography for two independent reasons: (i) he was a youngest person ever to achieve sport grade 8a and more, (ii) because of unusual circumstances of his accident. The reasons of this tragedy are analysed in climbing media all over the world. Tescobar (talk) 15:59, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I don't know the Wikipedia outline for "notability," so I'll point out a few things and let the notability experts decide. Climbing (free climbing, rock climbing, etc.) is a sport without a known world-championship. Instead, it has standards (grades/gradings). The grades are often subjective in nature. There are many different grading systems. The generally accepted "standard" (not the toughest/highest) of climbing is a 5.14a (using the Yosemite Decimal scale; the rough equivalent would be the British E10 or French 8b+). Many people have successfully climbed 5.14a, so that, by itself, probably would not be notable. What's notable is that Traversa was the first person in the world, 10 years of age or younger, to successfully scale any 5.l4 or better (two others have scaled a 5.14 since), and also the youngest person to ever do so. That is his chief claim to fame. I'll let the notability experts decide if that's enough.Tom Barrister 17:16, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- On balance, keep - surprising that there isn't an it.wp article, but that aside evidently notable to WikiProject Climbing.
