- Comment - indeed, systemic bias may be at play. However, the article makes the claim that they make use of an Australian college for training which doesn't seem to have attracted any notice. Beyond that, the article doesn't really make any assertion of notability. And finally, the web site does not appear to be functional meaning that we cannot even satisfy verifiability through a primary source. I just had a look to see if there is even a hint of notability through unreliable sources, and the only hint this organisation might even exist is from this. -- Whpq (talk) 15:13, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other coverage: On February 16, 2006, there was an Ultraslan party at Babylon and the ticket prices were YTL 17.[1] Some of the UltrAslan's traveled to Ewood on May 24, 2009 to attend the visit of the Baggies.[2] That's the only reliable source information I found on UltrAslan. That's not enought WP:GNG information for a stand alone article.

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league.

Mentoz86 (talk) 03:25, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply] - Keep as there is evidence supplied in the article that he has played "in a fully professional league" per WP:NFOOTBALL. He has played for KF Tirana who are in the Albanian Superliga which is listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues, which is mentioned in WP:NFOOTBALL. The nominator says that the claim is false, yet supplies no evidence for this, and the article still shows that he plays for KF Tirana. SilkTork ✔Tea time 18:33, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - At the same time as this AfD, there were started a discussion at WT:FPL about inclusion of the Albanian Superliga in the fully pro league list, and the Albanian Superliga is now listed there. However, this guy has played 1 match in the Albanian Superliga 5 years ago, and according to the article he has played 1 match in total for the last 5 years. There are no significant coverage about this guy, so my vote is still delete based on WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 12:50, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Mr Tafaj has played rather more than once in the Albanian Superliga. The article's missing a fair bit of his career. He played a full season for KS Kamza in the Superliga last season, they got relegated, so he moved to FK Tomori Berat for this season, also in the Superliga. See his Soccerway profile as linked by Only in death above. And started for KF Laçi in the Europa League qualifying in 2010, not that that adds anything to his notability. I'll add this stuff to the article when I find the time. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:25, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

However, Struway2's 4 September 2012 significant improvement of the article with non-English reliable sources[3] well after this article was listed at AfD shows that there were and are enought reliable sources for a stand alone article per WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 11:26, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy Keep - Having been sourced out a bit by Dr. Jensen, I don't thing the rationale of handgrenading a bad article on a clearly notable topic so that things can be built fresh from scratch any longer holds water, if it ever did. It would be easy enough to plow this under in the editing process if someone wants to have another go at the topic. I'd advise the nominator to withdraw this nomination. Carrite (talk) 05:00, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If other editors are working on the article, then I am fine with that, and would accept withdrawal of the request. The article had remained in this condition for five years. TFD (talk) 15:54, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This is not the article improvement workshop. The question is whether Conservatism in Australia is an encyclopedic topic or not. That's obviously a YES. That you have not withdrawn this clearly bad nomination is a bit shameful, in my opinion... Carrite (talk) 04:30, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep That an article is in a bad condition is never a reason to delete. The topic is obviously notable and it is well sourced now. --Cyclopiatalk 17:25, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep and Trout the nominator, clearly a notable concept and potential article. If the nominator was so appalled by its poor state, they should have actually tried to fix it up rather than just dumping it at AFD. Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:42, 1 September 2012 (UTC).[reply]
- Speedy Keep. Thanks to Dr Jensen and Northamerica1000, the article is now relatively good. (When TFD nominated it for deletion, the article was, to put it politely, less than encyclopedic. Please keep that in mind before criticizing TFD's action.) CWC 07:34, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, subject clearly meets WP:GNG. Subject is the primary subject of significant coverage of several books published by reputable sources.

The result was delete. There is a general agreement that the subject fails both WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. If there is a change in the consensus that the Bosnian league isn't fully professional, then this deletion can be reviewed. Note, however, that the league must be shown to be professional at the time that Ostojić was playing; even if the league itself changes its position on amateur players at some point in the future, that won't affect the decision here. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 09:42, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what are the arguments presented on the link provided since some of them are completely irrelevant. I am highly knowledgeable about the issues concerning Bosnian football and the first two tiers of the Bosnian football pyramid (Bosnian Premijer liga together with Prva liga Federacije and Prva liga Republike Srpske) are completely professional and have been like that since 1994 when the Bosnian football leagues were restarted. Most of the relevant clubs previously played in the Yugoslav First Division and have been fully professional for 40+ years now. What kind of written proof do you need?

Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:51, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a suggestion on what kind of reliable sources are needed? It feels really ridiculous to even discuss this so I don't know where to start. Most footballers are paid several times more than the average wage in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Eborg 14:10, 26 August 2012 (GMT)

- Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 10:01, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at some of these sources provided - I can provide the same thing. For example - for the Croatian league there is the "Rules for the status of players" document from the FA. The same document named "Rules for registration, status and transfers of players" with almost the same rules can be found on this link: http://www.nfsbih.net/pdf/RST.pdf which was published by the Bosnian FA. Both documents confirm the existence of professional players. Therefore, I believe that the Bosnian league(s) should be added to the list so this issue will not arise in the future as the document confirms the professionality in the same way it does for Croatia for example. Eborg 20:19, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The fact that the Bosnian league is professional is not in dispute. What is needed is full professionalism, as is outlined above. The source listed also mentions amateur players. If the source use for listing the Croatian league is inadequate, it should be reviewed on its own merits and not be used to justify the inclusion of further inadequate sources. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:59, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Both sources just say that there is a possibility for a player to be registered as an amateur. In practice, that is only used to circumvent the transfer fees to their previous clubs since a club signing a young player on a professional contract should pay a transfer fee due to the fact that that would be his first professional contract. In practice, such players are being paid as professionals on a separate contract. Out of cca. 350 players in the Premijer liga, there are 4 cases like this. All other players are on professional contract. It may be raised as an issue in the future as it is clearly a legal issue but for now it does not change the fact that the league is fully professional since there isn't a single player in the league having a second job, both due to the fact that there is no need and no time. This happens in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and FYR Macedonia as well and I am pretty sure it is not uncommon in other Eastern European countries (Romania has something similar for example regarding contracts). I am saying all this since I am legally trained in the area of sports so the issues do not affect the professionalization of the sport in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Eborg 12:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete – there is no proof that the Bosnian top league is fully professional, thus the player fails WP:NFOOTY. Fails WP:GNG as well. – Kosm1fent 11:08, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- As I've stated above, none of this carries any weight without reliable sources to confirm it. Sir Sputnik (talk) 11:09, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as I've said before - what proof IS needed? The one provided (which is the same as for Croatia AND Slovenia with identical rules - check them yourself) is obviously not enough. The one for Serbia is just a website that mentions a professional league without any proof and the source for Macedonia is actually saying that the players WERE NOT registered as professionals. I'm not raising this just for the sake of this single player but because I intend to heavily contribute to the sections on Bosnian football in the future from my big archive on Bosnian football. But what would be the point then if my every future contribution will be deleted like this and the proof is identical to the ones already provided but in this case, not accepted?

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete - the list of fully pro leauges is indeed made up by Wikipedians, and have weaknesses. But if I'm not mistaken, this guy have played 1 match on a team that plays in the 32nd best league in Europe (according to the 2012 UEFA Country Ranking) and might be fully pro, but there is no significant coverage about him. Even if the Bosnian league was included in the list of fully pro leauges, this article should be deleted as he fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:25, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That is not the main issue. Mario Ostojić is retired and the article is about a former football player and director of football. However, the main "problem" is the classification of the Bosnian league as being "non-professional" when it clearly is when the same (or better) sources are provided to prove otherwise compared to other leagues. Another one of my articles was also nominated for deletion on the same grounds for a young player that has played for the U-19 national team, made several appearances last season and added more at the start of this season. He is young, doesn't have a "real" job or doesn't go to university, he just plays football for a living - clearly a professional player in a fully professional league. Eborg 16:47, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - The level at which Mario Ostojić played football merely is one indication of whether reliable sources will have written biographical information about him. Believe it or not, Wikipedia has articles on people who didn't even play football! That's because Wikipedia merely is a writing based publisher of information and uses significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject from which to draw that information. If Wikipedia were a reward based publisher of information, then it would directly matter whether Ostojić played professional football. What it comes down to is that, without enough reliable source material from which to draw material and write the Mario Ostojić Wikipedia article, there won't be enought text in the the Mario Ostojić Wikipedia article to justify a stand alone article. The topic does not meet WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:01, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's one of the more major papers in my area but it's not one that you'd see on the shelves of news stands in other states.

As someone has been really helpful and removed a PROD based on some half-arsed misunderstanding of international cricket and an ignorance of WP:CRIN, I guess it will have to be AfDed. WP:CRIN states that a cricketer must have played first-class, List A or Twenty20 cricket. This cricketer has not, therefore fails inclusion criteria for cricketers, by extension fails WP:ATH and WP:GNG. The cricketer has played at youth level, but these matches are deemed minor by cricket statisticians. There is no precedence for the inclusion of under-19 cricketers on here. Howzat?Out!Out!Out!

Putting aside for a moment the obvious arguments whether this team satisfies the notability requirements of WP:ORG, WP:NSPORTS or WP:GNG, there is another serious question of whether this subject is worthy or appropriate for a stand-alone Wikipedia article given its obvious lack of substance. While I don't believe the subject is notable, we can debate that point.

- Keep - I think the topic barely passes WP:GNG.

That might be a press release. I also found zercustoms.com/news, which may merely be a webpage rather than a Wikipedia reliable source. Northamerica1000's sources seem to lead to the idea that more reliable source material is in Italian language sources. Northamerica1000's cited magazine articles also carry weight being magazine that's published less than each day (unlike a daily newspaper). I think there might be a problem with the article title, which makes it harder to find sources. Sources called it Urban Bike - Lancia Edition,[17] Urban Bike Lancia MomoDesign (see above), Lancia MomoDesign Urban Bike[18] etc. I think Lancia told everyone that the name of the bike was "Urban Bike", but since that was too generic, the news sources had to fill in their own name for the item.

- Delete This reads more like an advertisement. The only independent source appears to be a few paragraphs in SWAT magazine and is more about Mar than APA. APA is mentioned in one sentence at the end--"Mar took the system he was already using and developed it into the APA system", which hardly constitutes significant coverage.

- NeutralThe person who wrote this article is a senior instructor and did so of his own volition. This is not an advertisement. The question about sources is somewhat difficult and could be facilitated with some help. Please allow me to explain. APA was the original Close Quarters Combat System developed as founding Chief Instructor for Taiwan SWAT in 1985. It is also the system which is still in use for Specialized Tactical Riot in several other countries. APA is documented by certification awarded for its propagation, news releases and published training manuals. The highest echelon of special counterterrorist teams on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have trained under this system, and fundamental combat protocol derived from the program has been disseminated to around 50,000 tactical support and rapid deployment Law Enforcement including special mission teams from the US, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific by myself and SWAT officers, the APA Instructors Team and international operators qualified to this task. I am an American but most publication and support material such as the archive documentary footage on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmp2-tZ8G20 is in Chinese. This is a combat system and not a martial arts style, and it is the only field proven simultaneous combat system known. All the information and certification on APA bears my name as the Chief Instructor responsible for development. If one of the esteemed reviewers would advise how I can provide the official documentation regarding the proof of the important role the program has played in LE and special tactical training as a non-public combat system I would provide the documentation, articles, and certification for the author to use freely. I did not create this article and Thanks for your consideration. Chrismar (talk) 12:14, 3 September 2012 (UTC)(talk)[reply]
- Chris, it looks like it will likely be deleted, but if you will make a request on my talk page afterwards, I will restore a version of this in your own user space so that you can try to develop it over time, and then resubmit it to WP:DRV for reconsideration. Don't take the delete personal, (we don't know you, after all) it is just a matter of policy, but I will help you to try to get it up to snuff in user space this way. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 13:03, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - the article in question has now been substantially blanked by the original author who has removed everything that could have been considered "advertising" and has left the article as a stub with no sources. It certainly does not meet WP:GNG. Suggest we allow this article to be deleted but consider whether Antagonist Perpetrated Aggression can be repaired and kept. While I recognise Chrismar's commendable good faith contribution here (the fact that he did not seek to "vote" in an AfD where he has an obvious conflict of interest), I note he did create Antagonist Perpetrated Aggression and we should probably ask that he gives non-COI editors a chance to review/repair that article.

There's no coverage for this beyond the primary sources and in order to keep an article at all under WP:NFILM (and notability for future films is much more strict), you need to have coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources. This doesn't have that.The user is welcome to resubmit this once the film has been completed and received coverage, but given that this was probably submitted by the filmmaker or someone involved with the project or its members, I'd recommend that they go through WP:FILM to avoid any COI issues.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:13, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable group, I can't find any evidence of third-party sources to establish notability. The only relevant link I found to this group was a promotional LinkedIn profile. Additionally, the author of this article was an obvious COI and SPA. Considering that the company has ties with China and Hungary, it is possible that useful sources may be Chinese or Hungarian. Also considering that the article mentions that the group partnered with the United Kingdom, I found nothing useful when searching "Centre of Chinese Culture and Arts Hungary" through Google UK.

This film does not pass the notability bar set for film articles. The references are not reliable third-party references.

- Delete. I did a search and there's zero independent and reliable coverage of this film. Other than this wikipedia entry, all of the coverage is primary or through sources that wouldn't be considered reliable. This is just one of many articles that forms a walled garden around the director and smacks of COI, as I have reason to believe that the original editor either is the director or is someone involved in the production of the films.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 16:37, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable small budget sci-fi film. Can find nothing but self released PR about this.

It could have been in process that long, but it's hard to tell since the some of the links provided by Schmidt only lead to partial articles from which it is hard to determine whether they are talking about War of the Worlds – The True Story.

Not at all surprising that we have production coverage in others from before 2012, as the topic of Hines' project has been discussed even as early as 2005 and has gained attention in more than trivial fashion.[46][47] Simply stated, using "War of the Worlds"+"Timothy Hines" as our search parameter, we have information available in multiple sources which can be used to improve the article.

- Nice catch. I'll have to go through them again, to see which are the sources speaking about Tim Hines' dis-satisfaction with his 2005 effort and wanting to do a remake. Already I found Dread Central (2011) offering information about remaking his 2005 film. Thank you. Do we have an article on the 2005 effort? If so then we might consider a redirect to a section on "Remake". Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:11, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Found it. Redirect/merge to Hines' 2005 film to the section H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (2005 film)#Reboot where it can be spoken of in context to the 2005 film and the director's wish to do a remake. The series of the Wells-related Hines' films have an interesting and inter-twined history. Allow recreation/undeletion only if (or when) the newer version can meet notability standards for film.

Non-notable entertainment industry worker. IMDB is the only reference, and it doesn't have the in-depth coverage. If there is any notability it's likely through Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang, but I'm not seeing in-depth coverage of Tim Burns (a lot of passing mentions though). Googling for sources is challenging since there are apparently two other actors called Tim Burns who already have pages and two other Tim Burns's who are writers (but don't yet have wikipedia articles).

- I think the page should be kept, Tim Burns's credits speak to the notability of who he is. And as you said Stuartyeates, there are a lot of people named Tim Burns and it's going to be hard to differentiate them all from this particular Tim Burns. But his credits should just be a first step, there is a lot of research that needs to be done. I'm sure he has interviews somewhere on the net, the time just needs to be taken to search. But his credits are a step in the right direction. This page shouldn't be deleted solely based on it's notability.--PaulaSVU (talk) 22:41, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, I've come across many worse articles here on Wiki using only IMDb as a source. Tim Burns is very common in the TV/film industry sadly, the only answer I can come up with is do some heavy duty "Googling" on Tim Burns and even his projects, maybe he's done some BTS stuff in the past his career stretches back to the late 80s so I wouldn't expect to find too much on those projects, those after 2001 will likely come up in search engines more. As it's been said there are other people named "Tim Burns" so it's going to be difficult to distinguish between this writer and the actors. I think the page should stay and Wiki users in the future need to make sure nothing is added to this without a credible source. Examples of that being Burns' birthdate/place, whole name, marriage/partner, etc. - his personal info and anything he might be involved with in the future that has yet to be released. 172.129.125.220 (talk) 01:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep based on WP:CREATIVE item 3. He had a significant role as the writer in adapting Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang. This is attested to by his award wins and nomintations. I realize that IMDB is not a reliable source, but these should be easily sourceable. His work on the film is also called out in this Variety review. He is also the creative force behind My Babysitter's a Vampire as demosntrated by this article. -- Whpq (talk) 13:49, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, room for improvement I mostly edited this to add asterisks to everyone's responses I'm not even bothering to log in. - But it's an established fact that IMDb isn't exactly kosher when it comes to information such as birth dates/places and information such as that. - But when it comes down to credits, it's probably the only thing you can take and run with from that site. - I remember seeing Tim Burns as supervisory writer in the 2005 season of Crank Yankers, he wrote/acted and did soundtrack work in Freaked, and of course he's one of the developers and executive producer on the show My Babysitter's a Vampire (TV series) and he has an interview with someone on the Fresh TV site here, he mentions that he wrote one of the main characters of the movie/show with his [geeky] background. -- 66.217.112.3 (talk) 18:48, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a type of fictional space habitat that occurs in a science fiction novel series. On its own, it is not notable because it lacks substantial coverage in independent reliable sources (WP:N). The broader concept of large fictional ring-shaped space habitats (as also portrayed in Ringworld, Halo etc.) is possibly notable, but this content should not be merged anywhere because it is mostly unsourced, reads like original research (WP:OR) and consists only of excessively detailed plot summary written in an in-universe style (see WP:WAF).

who would meet WP:ANYBIO though that Carnegie Award (let's dig deeper for sourcing), but even without that we have him meetingWP:ENT and WP:GNG through even his few roles being written of (in various levels of non-trivial depth) in multiple secondary sources...some more reliable[49] than others.[50] Being improvable means we do so, and not delte based upon current state. And no, he is not the most notable ever... but he is just notable enough. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:07, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply] - Comment I did look at the results, but I didn't see anything that met source guidelines. For the first link (news search results), they are mostly play reviews that mention the actor's name. BroadwayWorld appeared to have something more substantial but it was on their message board, and the credits for Mr. Uranowitz consist of only two shows, one on Broadway and one a touring show. The main google search results has [51] which is an interview, but it appears to be somewhat of a blog-news site. I don't see this meeting WP:ENT/WP:GNG right now, IMHO. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 06:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Its weak notability, sure... but it's still notability under ENT and GNG, guidelines which tells us that available sources need not be solely about the individual. And even the lesser of the RS provide information to confirm his works and expand the article. Under WP:ENT it is neccessary that the work itself be the recipient of enough SIGCOV to be determined as notable. It's not as if he were a total unknown with no coverage at all. I've opined deletes for plenty of those. Rent has the required notability just as does Baby It's You! (specially when it was taken to Broaday). I've been quite busy of late in the real world, but I'll give the article some personal attention later today. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 21:21, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Thanks everyone for reminding me to elaborate on the reason for keeping this article. I looked at several online articles on Brandon Uranowitz published by reputable sources such as http://broadwayworld.com/people/Brandon-Uranowitz/ and http://www.hercampus.com/school/nyu/nyu-graduate-brandon-uranowitz-makes-broadway-debut crediting him with performance(s) on Broadway. These articles and other articles I found range from interviews with Uranowitz to newspapers looking into his personal and professional backgrounds. The argument to delete the articles appears to suggest that Uranowitz is not notable enough. Uranowitz may not be Marlon Brando, but it seemed to me that he, as an active actor on the Broadway who has received some attention from the press, deserved to have his page on Wikipedia.--Juristicweb (talk) 15:08, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep In light of new links and restructuring of the article by MichaelQSchmidt, I change my vote from Keep to Strong Keep. Evidence of notability is present as I referenced links above and also considering the links provided by MichaelQSchmidt.

- Keep. Altenberg Publishing was a major historical publishing house in Poland from 1880 until 1934. It would have been great to have it here. However, our new entry is only a mechanical copy-paste job from machine translation by Google translate. Word for word from Polish Wikipedia, mistakes and all. However, there also was a discussion on meta regarding Google translate and the consensus was that the coyright lies with the person "pressing the button" provided he had the right to do a derivative work, which means that we can have it here.

- Slight merge to Saddam Hussein#Marriage and family relationships where some of this information already appears. Despite being the daughter of a notorious dictator, Hala has remained mostly out of the public eye both during her father's time in office and after his deposition and execution. It is not Wikipedia's role to preserve "what little is left" of Hala in public records, because Wikipedia doesn't have those records. All we have is a few links to media articles where she is briefly mentioned.

If unconfirmed allegations of being an offspring of a famous person renders notability then there is going to be alot of new articles on Wikipedia about people who try to make a name for themselves by alleging relations to famous people.

- Comment/
Rename- First, I don't think the nominator has given a valid reason for deletion. Why don't you think the article has any conceivable purpose . . . isn't the purpose obviously to describe anime and manga aimed at children? Anyway, I think this article has become confusing due to the translation of "kodomo" to "children". I think the term "kodomo", as it relates to manga, is normally used to refer to manga aimed at younger children than what most manga in the shōnen and shōjo demographics are aimed at. That is certainly how we are using the related category here, and the description in the article as them being particularly moralistic applies more to manga aimed at young children. Alternatively, "kodomo" might overlap with the shōnen and shōjo demographics to some degree (i.e. be the portions of those demographics that are aimed at the youngest children). If I remember correctly, this article was renamed while the articles on other manga demographics like shōnen were left at their Japanese names because the other terms like "shōnen" were widely used in English sources, while the term "kodomo" was not. However, that completely missed that the translation changed the meaning of the article title. I think the article should be renamed back to using "Kodomo" instead of "Children's". This is all assuming that the "kodomo" demographic category is notable. I think it probably is, but someone should certainly add some sources to the article. Do any of the articles in other languages (there looks to be about 25 of them) have useful sources? Calathan (talk) 21:24, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]- So, it's original research? JoshuSasori (talk) 22:26, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you asking me, or are you suggesting that you think that is original research? I don't think it is original research, but I don't want to take the time to look for sources myself. I can't read Japanese, and Google Translate doesn't do a very good job with Japanese. Calathan (talk) 02:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- On the assumption that articles are not supposed to be deleted simply because they are currently under-developed, I would say keep. This seems a perfectly valid and useful topic for an article, notwithstanding any renaming and article reorganisation that might be desirable. However, if articles are supposed to deleted for being under-developed even when they have potential, then ignore this vote. 86.128.3.46 (talk) 02:56, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 19:28, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Abstain I'm going to abstain from voting here, partially because of reasons I mentioned above. I will say, however, that anyone arguing either to keep the article, merge it or delete it should have at least one solid reason for doing so based on evidence beyond a personal opinion. I don't think keeping or removing articles based solely on the opinions of editors is a good precedent. It looks like one question some of the editors honed in on centers around the legitimacy of the material. If you're an editor looking to keep this article, I'd suggest finding the necessary evidence to argue the material is legitimate. Conversely, those who feel the material is illegitimate should provide some kind of evidence backing up their claim. Best wishes to everyone. --Xaliqen (talk) 07:42, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Despite my suggestion above that I didn't want to look for sources, now that it is a long weekend, I'm trying to expand and source the artile. I'm also changing my !vote from "Rename" to Keep, as I haven't found sources that would support my position of renaming the article (though I do want to note that the equivalent articles in many other languages' Wikipedias use "Kodomo" rather than their own language's word for children). One reason I think the article should be kept is that the Shogakukan Manga Award and Kodansha Manga Award, major Japanese manga awards, both include a Children's category as a separate category from shōnen and shōjo. This suggests that the major publishers of manga view Children's manga as a distinct and significant category of manga. Another reason I think the article should be kept is that the The Anime Encylopedia includes an article on children's anime (under the title "Kid's Anime"), and Manga: The Complete Guide appears to include an article on Children's manga (I own a copy of the Anime Encyclopedia, but I'm going based on Google's preview for Manga: The Complete Guide). I think articles in two specialty encyclopedias is enough to satisfy the notability guidelines on the subject. Furthermore, Wikipedia includes topics that are included in specialized encyclopedias (per Wikipedia:Five pillars), so I think the inclusion of the subject in specialty encyclopedias is a good reason to include it here. I still think that it would really help the article is someone else can try to find more sources (I can't read Japanese, and the only print anime/manga reference I have is the Anime Encyclopedia). Calathan (talk) 18:33, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Seeing the popular things created for children in different cultures, helps understand those cultures better. You can rename it to Japanese moralistic media directed to children, or just use the Japanese name or literal translation for it. Calathan makes a great case, this is a category notable awards acknowledge, and the media creations themselves put themselves in this category. Dream Focus 15:03, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd support a move to Children's comics in Japan or something similar, if we're going to go that route. The current title seems overbroad, in my opinion, and already tangentially covered in the general Children's literature article. Focusing specifically on the market of comics intended for children in Japan seems a way to narrow the scope and still have plenty to work with. --Xaliqen (talk) 22:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm strongly opposed to the name suggested by Dream Focus. Not all children's anime and manga is moralistic, and I think that title significantly changes the focus of the article. I'm also (less strongly) opposed to the name suggested by Xaliqen, as I think it also changes the focus of the article. I think keeping "anime and manga" in the title makes clear that it is about cartoons and comics originating in Japan (i.e. not foreign media being shown to children in Japan). Calathan (talk)
- The one issue with Children's comics in Japan is that it would necessitate an article at Children's comics. But there is no article there as it redirects to Comics. Children's manga would be better. Then it would then be a child article of Manga. Also, the article's primary focus is on children's manga with children's anime getting a very brief mention. —Farix (t | c) 01:27, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Do the Japanese have a different name for children's comics of different types? The article says "These works are noted for stories that are often very moralistic, teaching children how to behave as good and considerate people and helping them to stay on the right path in life." Do all comics and animation targeted towards children get grouped together in one children's category, or do they have a different category for the ones that are moralistic?

Of the two items of media coverage mentioned above, one is a standard piece in a careers magazine talking about what it's like working in sales for an IT company, and the other is a few lines in the local paper about him having a trial with the local
5th2nd-tier football teamwho play in front of an average crowd of 123, hung on the fact that readers might have heard the surname because his sister is an Olympic handball player. Sorry, but that isn't WP:BASIC-level significant coverage of Mr Utkovic. Useful biographical material if notability were established by other means, certainly, but nowhere near enough to establish notability. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of sources; however, a close examination reveals that the majority don't even mention Fundable or are press releases. The only sources that might meet WP:RS are local coverage from "Columbus Business First." Bottom line: not seeing WP:GNG or WP:CORP depth of coverage being met for this relatively young (March 2012) crowdfunding startup. Crowdfunding is one of the current buzzwords right now; no point in creating articles about all of these up-and-comers until they start getting significant coverage. FWIW, created by a WP:SPA.

One thing that is interesting about this one (which they don't say) is that they took over the domain name from old fundable.com, the one by John Pratt. By my count Pratt's fundable was the first crowdfunding site operating with an all or nothing model. Old Fundable got a lot of press, some of it quite bad in the end.
Maybe there could be an article about old fundable.com, mentioning that it's not related to new fundable.com. 77.16.222.168 (talk) 21:27, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page is pretty bad, but an article about the subject does appear to pass Wikipedia:Notability (people); specifically, under Creative professionals – "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."

- Merge to Darwin Awards (the website she created which covers the same material as her books). There is a claim to notability: CNN article[52], Salon article[53], Spokane Spokesman-review article[54], SF Examiner interview[55], Publishers Weekly[56][57], interview with 123-reg (possibly not a reliable source)[58]. The first Darwin Awards book was #3 hardback bestseller in NYTimes[59] #8 paperback best seller in NY Times[60]. But she and the awards and her books are all so closely connected, and the sources are so closely focused on the awards, it makes sense to cover them together. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:26, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is to some extent a procedural nomination. The article was recently drafted. It reads like an attack piece. At the same time, the apparent subject of the article is blanking the article and substituting her version of who she is in its stead, which is essentially a whitewashed version.

- Keep - Separating the significant events from the life events in the Wikipedia article gives the impression of the article being a genealogical exercise. It also doesn't help that the article is written in a trivia format (disconnected sentences). His homemade telephone, investment by Bell Telephone, impact on other's lives (switchboard) would seem to be enough to generate reliable source coverage of Dalling around the 1880s and there after. Give the age of the topic, it seems likely that some of those reliable sources are not online but in some library. The article includes some of those reliable sources and, with his life events, I think there is enough reliable source material out there to maintain a stand alone article to meet WP:GNG. The article needs to be written in a chronological order, with language that connects one sentence to the next, and be more in line with how other Wikipedia biography articles are presented. But that is not a reason to delete the topic. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:23, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When any one who have the instruments wish to converse with each other they signal the Exchange Office. The attendant there by simple means connects the speaker with the party he wishes to address, and presto ! the talk can go on plainly and easily. To say that this means of communication is one of the wonders of the age is to put it midly. That the voice, at an ordinary tone, can be distinctly heard for miles by means of a wire is something so mysterious that few can appreciate the fact without themselves having actual cognizance of it.
- The wire of which there are about five miles in length, were strung and the instruments placed, under the supervision of S. Hoyt, St. John. J. H. Wagstaff is the manner of the Bell Telephone Company's business in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The following are the names of those having instruments connected with the Exchange in Woodstock at present..."
- "First Telephone
- H.V. Dalling, Watchmaker and Jeweller, was the maker of the first telephone to be used in Woodstock. In 1886, this mechanical genuis made and installed two telephones: one in his store, the other in his residence. It was purely a private telephone exchange for the use of himself, wife and family. The wire was strung on trees from his home on Connell Street. But it's success soon became known to the Bell Telephone Company of Canada, who sent a representative to Woodstock to make an investigation. Mr. Dalling was threatened with a law suit for infringing on the Company's patent. But a compromise was reached. The Bell Company opened a small exchange in Mr. Dalling's store, using a twenty line switchboard and Bell instruments, with the Woodstock innovator as agent and manager."

Doesn't appear notable and apparent advert/promotion of educational establishment.
All main sources are from the organisations own website. Other sources are passing mentions, directory listings, or similar places where any registered educational organisation would appear, or, passing mentions as use as a conference centre. Exception is http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storycode=419175 which mentions the organisation directly, but only briefly. Doesn't appear to be a notable organisation based on my search. If all education bodies are notable then still requires cleanup. Also mentioned alumni 'Apurv Mishra' doesn't appear to be notable either. Not sure if COI issues are present here as sole editor has a closely related username, and has only edited this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bitelondon ?

Surely the Institute is notable as the 5th largest private higher education institution in the UK with more than 1,000 students at the higher level, and also because the Chancellor is the Muslim peer Lord Ahmed of Rotherham, who is certainly a notable figure?
- The answer to the third part is no - see Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#No_inherited_notability
- For the other parts - I can't say absolutely - the figures you give are just statistics - but please see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), currently I don't see that the article shows that the establishment is notable.Oranjblud (talk) 23:23, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Dubious -- A univerity with only 1000 or so students hardly sounds substantial; high schools are sometimes bigger. In other words, it is probably a NN college. Lord Ahmed's article does not refer to the college. This sounds as if it is not a college merely set up as a means of generating visas for people who claim to want to study, but actually just want to work in UK, but it cannot be far from that. I would like to see significant independent sources before I would want to aloow it to be retained. "5th largest private" does not make it significant because most higher education colleges are in some degree state-funded in UK. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:26, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- From what I gather - the type of people who attend may not need visa's or work - more likely to be signing arms deals on behalf of a ruling middle eastern monarchy in a future career, or managing a large steel empire...
- comment having made an attempt to clean up the article (advert, user-guide) I am not as sure as whether it should be deleted. I found several mentions in "The Hindu" eg mostly like this http://www.thehindu.com/education/article889841.ece , http://www.hindu.com/2007/12/26/stories/2007122658630200.htm - I'm not sure about these - why does only this newspaper cover it? Possible link? don't know. The organisation has verifiable links to established universities -eg http://www.uel.ac.uk/undergraduate/specs/tech-ecommerce/ - such as accreditation links, or 'twinning' - but I found nothing of great significance. I'm tending towards a 'proceedural keep', based on size, official recognition. Borderline.Oranjblud (talk) 13:18, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep The article should be re-written, yes, but all universities are, IMHO, notable. I don't know, though, whether there is a policy respecting this or not. Diego Grez (talk) 00:31, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, there is strong consensus that "independently accredited degree-awarding institutions" are considered notable. The school's affiliation with the University of East London and the University of Wales are secondary but persuasive indications of notability.

- Keep per the above keep & comment voices. It gets a short but reasonable write-up from the QAA [61] and is one of the larger private providers in the uk [62]. It is a notable component of the contemporary UK educational landscape, and for that reason we should have an article on it. --Tagishsimon (talk)
