To begin with this page is a biography of a living person containing no reliable sources. IMDB is not a reliable source, and it is meant to be a comprehensive listing of all actors appearing in film, at least films produced within the Hollywood system and some other similar high budget film making systems, which Wikipedia does not seek to be. Wikipedia requires "multiple significant roles in notable films", or if no significant roles, than the actor has been cited as a major contributor as a character actor. What I was able to find was mainly things like an interview on a local news website done with him because he was in town for a convention, nothing that rose to the level of substantial 3rd party coverage in reliable sources, which is what we need for the general notability guideline, and he does not fit any notability criteria for actors.

Googling "useful idea" produces many hits. So why don't we have a Wikipedia article about it, with sections In agriculture, In biology, In chemistry...? The reason is that the term just means "an idea that happens to be useful". Beyond that, nothing coherent can be said about it in general, and any attempt at an article will produce a haphazard mishmosh of unrelated stuff. Same story for "absent referent", a term that also has many ghits, but for which the only commonality in the various uses is the meaning of "a referent that happens to be not physically present". Much if not most of the article's content is original research, mostly in the form of synthesis. I've never seen the term used in a mathematical text. --Lambiam 19:59, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

- Do not delete. Yes, the phrase "absent referent" can be used in any odd context to refer to a referent that is not present, but there does additionally exist a well-defined concept known by that name. I don't know if it's notable enough to ultimately have its own article. The one we currently have is absolutely hopeless, so we should at least turn it into a redirect to the article about the apparent originator of the term Carol J. Adams, where the concept is explained. An alternative would be to create a dab page listing that, as well as pointing to Failure to refer, which I reckon is the topic most relevantly representing the more generic uses of the phrase. – Uanfala (talk) 22:09, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment As best as I can tell, the supposed connection to mathematics is WP:OR/WP:SYNTH. Accordingly, I cut it out. XOR'easter (talk) 22:25, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Complicated. First, I think Xor's removal was totally justified, so I'm just looking at what's left now. Unafala brought up an interesting point about use of the term by Carol Adams. But apparently she didn't coin this term; in her own words, she "politicized" it. I honestly don't know if it would merit an article on its own (my guess is no, but I could be wrong), but there's nothing in there now, so it's kind of moot for the time being. A redirect wouldn't be terrible, but I'd say wait until the article gets deleted (if it gets deleted) before making a new one. The stuff about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is bunk. That just leaves the bit about ASL. It does actually seem to be a technical term used in talking about sign language. Again, I don't know if it warrants its own article though, or if it could redirect to something else. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:25, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- As far as ASL is concerned, the notion of absent referent is only meaningful in the context of indexing (pointing), a form of signing that is not even mentioned on Wikipedia. While interesting, the handling of space-absent versus space-present referents by indexing is at a deeper level of detail than the current treatment of other aspects of ASL. --Lambiam 11:58, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- I see. In that case, I'd probably just say go ahead and delete, and if anyone wanted to take a stab at the Carol Adams usage, they'd certainly be welcome. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:54, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

This appears at first glance to be an exemplary organisation. However, the references are clearly press releases and interviews with nothing about all the successes that should surely have followed such investment. It claims to have been around since 2011 but provides no evidence of the success of any of its many projects. To benefit applicants need to be a "member of V Adept Energy", yet nowhere is it clear how to become a member. This has all the hallmarks of a scam and the lack of refs does little to dispel that idea. It fails WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 19:55, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

There is very little here that indicates any actual notability, and a great deal that indicates a self-indulgent bio, ("Fergusson-Stewart honeymooned on Islay and named his firstborn daughter Islay."--which happens to be where the Scotch he promotes is produced) known to be written by a declared paid editor, who is by training a PR professional .I think this is one more instance that paid editors, declared or undeclared, regardless of their good intentions,are generally not likely to write a NPOV article. The references are PR, and that;s all there is. DGG ( talk ) 17:58, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

The result was redirect to List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course#Table row Windy Corner. maintaining the prior consensus at the RfC closed by Drmies on the article talk page. There is no evidence presented that the subject meets WP:GEOLAND - the feature is clearly a section of road (i.e. not natural) and all claims otherwise seem to be unsupported by the references given. ansh666 03:42, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

It's time to delete this article which basically duplicates List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course#Table row Windy Corner. Attempts to #redirect have created disruption. There was consensus to MERGE but that hasn't worked, either. Atsme📞📧 17:54, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Obviously the place passes WP:GEOLAND, being a named feature. The list is no substitute because that is focussed only a particular race and the content in the list entry is negligible. For reader navigation purposes, the name Windy Corner is far more useful that some complex list title. Andrew D. (talk) 18:53, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Atsme📞📧 20:43, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Whatever it is, putting it in a list with a bunch of other stuff does not improve matters for the reader who wants to find out about it. It's best kept simple so that Windy Corner takes the reader to a page about that place, with specific images, coordinates, topography and history, as we have here. If a list is needed, it should be brief, rather than some sprawling and confusing conglomerate. For example, I recently started a page about Hanging Sword Alley. It's not a big place but is notable and has some good history, which I shall be expanding on. Merging this into some gargantuan list of streets in London would not serve the reader so well. Andrew D.

- It's a single feature that is only notable as part of the mountain course where consensus said it should be redirected. Even WP:GEOLAND states If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. There are no books, maps, or multiple RS that focus only on this one feature. The sources include it as part of the bigger, more notable topic of the region or the course.

- I note that this article was disruptively restored earlier today (with an edit summary of
"removal of local consensus see BRD: No consensus on redirect, or target of redirect due to synthesis WP:SYN, original research WP:N and non-existent notability WP:N"
) having been redirected to List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course#Windy Corner as the result of a previous RfC (closed by User:Drmies on 23 February 2015), by the same editor who has done so multiple times in the past, against consensus - see its history, and its talk page. Note that User:11thmilestone, who previously kept restoring the page, was blocked as a sock puppet of the editor who made today's restoration. Note also that the page was stable as a redirect from 20 August 2016 until today. Accordingly, it should be redirected again, once the current content has been deleted. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:40, 30 December 2017 (UTC)- Having read comments below, I believe that the history should indeed be kept. I'm also reminded of previous discussions, which showed that the article's claim to notability per WP:GEOLAND are bogus. Perhaps what is needed is an administrative injunction on Agljones to refrain from repeating this behaviour. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:56, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect to List_of_named_corners_of_the_Snaefell_Mountain_Course#Windy_Corner per prior consensus. The target section already sufficiently covers the subject, which is not notable for a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect, per previous RFC and all rational discussion over many years. If I had noticed the editor had restored the article I would have re-re-re-re-re-redirected it to the list-article which I opened, partly to provide reasonable resolution of this . I believe leaving edit history available in the redirect is helpful for future reference, to hold accountable the parties involved when they argue on and on, in the future, as is likely. Please note this diff in which I report that the main force involved had basically lied about what their key source said. They claimed the source established Windy Corner was an area of open moorland. They failed to respond adequately to requests they provide photocopy or other proof of what their sources said. I bought a copy of the main source and found that it absolutely did not say what it was claimed to say. Not to put a fine point on it, but they were caught redhanded in a lie. I similarly disbelieve the same editor's assertions now present in the current version/fabrication of the article. There is no merit to this article; it should be redirected and I don't think this AFD is even necessary. --Doncram (talk) 23:36, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- I appreciate User:Andrew Davidson's view that a named feature with lots of coverage should be kept, but they are assuming that information currently in the article is accurate, when it is not. It is twisted rubbish. We need not assume good faith when it is not merited, as here. Here is another diff from AFD on similar article where it was established that claim of Site of Special Scientific Interest was a lie, too, when a different editor got the source. Now this Windy Corner article has a SSSI claim which I expect is false, too.
- By the way, when looking at the main contributors contributions to look for this, I see that they have just recently made disruptive move, obviously controversial, of the Snaefell Mountain Course article, with edit summary claiming that it is not controversial. The sheer volume of shiite in AFDs, Talk pages, as well as put into the articles in mainspace related to Windy Corner and other Isle of Man race-course corners is cumulatively amazing and massively disruptive to Wikipedia. I would contribute evidence if someone would initiate a permanent topic ban from this area for the involved editor. --Doncram (talk) 00:30, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep The article passes WP:GEOLAND for notability as the location was previously occupied. Also WP:GEOROAD as the location is "subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable and independent of the subject," such as the Broderick publication in note (1) which does not actually define the article as " a small corner on a mountain course" as previously suggested by User:Atsme. The "corner" is much large than the editor describes as shown by the restricted safety areas in the road closing order for the 2017 Isle of Man TT races. The editor User:Atsme can either edit the article in this manner, although this would be original research WP:OP as the "corner" prior to 1922 was in a different position and actual a gate which was the boundary between two parcels of UK Government Crown land.
The merger of the article and not a redirect was suggested by the User:Drmies. The merge of articles to the Snaefell Mountain Course has not worked as actually highlighted by the editor USER:doncram. There was no consensus of the redirect to the List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course and is a local consensus by the same editor USER:doncram. The two references used in the target line List of named corners of the_Snaefell Mountain_Course#Windy Corner as highlighted by USER:K.e.coffman, when used in this way are not encyclopaedic and represent a contradictory synthesis of sources not permitted by Wikipedia WP:SYN. As highlighted previously to editors, the List article does not possess a citation relative to the executive summary/lede paragraph one for interdependent notability WP:N and unlikely ever to do so. This is due to the term, "Snaefell Mountain Course" being a contemporary local historic newspaper and journalist term for the Highroads Course for automobile racing in the period 1911-1922. Again, Wikipedia does not allow synthesis of sources WP:SYN, sources are not notable in this context WP:N and the list article is an unnecessary repository for whimsical and flippant citations WP:V which is creating circular reporting problems. WP:CITOGEN In respect to large article lists, Wikipedia writes that "...editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles" WP:LSTN Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth.
Comment The USER:doncram along with another editor has received a final warning from the same editor User:Drmies for repeating the use of "laundry lists," spurious Single purpose Account and Conflict of Interest claims and disrupting Wikipedia to make a point by removing edits from the Isle of Man TT races article (there is no issue of "whitewashing") as the editor USER:doncram disliked the edits (it is required by Wikipedia that reliable sources represent majority views and also represent significant minority views WP:BIAS, WP:BURDEN.) The editor USER:doncram has also repeatedly vandalised two other other articles with spurious objections, in particular removing any citation mentioning the word "moorland" and replaced a title line for a BRD discussion to avoid BRD process. Despite misunderstanding amongst editors, the editor USER:doncram has also asked Wikipedia to reinstate the Ginger Hall article after it was deleted (see talk page:Windy Corner.) The editor USER:doncram has also used the Request for Closure to prematurely closed down a copyright enquiry in regard to the same List Article (now either archive, suppressed or both) and despite this, Jimmy Wales and Wikipedia is very clear that for copyright in non-US countries has to be observed.
The editor USER:doncram has never historically given an alternative explanation or definition for the heath and heather moorland, despite the numerous references in secondary sources (see talk pages for Windy Corner, Keppel Gate and Brandywell articles) and in this edit uses the term "moorland" [[1]]. The editor USER:doncram has also mentioned a publication and the citation was explained in this edit on the Windy Corner talk page [[2]]. The publication writes on page 81 or page 59 depending on the version;- "...Cross the style and enter the "mountain land"...." Where is this style ? It is actually the most southerly boundary of the area of Slieau Lhoost which was purchased in 1933 as shown in the revised article. It is the same area which is an ASSI as defined by a "SC3781 A portion of the south western slope of Slieau Ree" and the same author writes about "heather and ling" which only grow on acidic moorland soil and is also the same moorland as referred to be in this same edit [[3]]. The report Habit Survey 1991, gives an 'arbitrarily' moorland definition as peat soil being greater than
25cm50cm. The soil depth of peat in this areas is greater than 50cm which qualifies for the definition of "moorland" and in the area of Beinn-y-Phott it is greater than 3 metres.In regard to other comments it is not clear what the editor is referring too. In the Keppel Gate article a recent publication for 2017 stated that R.O Clark crashed at the
"33rd Milestone."For the other article, the 2017 Isle of Man TT Race Regulations clearly states "Isle of Man TT Mountain Circuit" and not "Snaefell Mountain Course." agljones(talk)11:27, 31 December 2017 (UTC)- User:Drmies Please can you comment on the claims made about you above; specifically i) whether a redirect was the intention of your close of the RfC and ii) your alleged warning to other editors, and its bearing on this AfD? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:35, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Andy, are you asking me to read through agljones's comments? I may need some more champagne for that. What I was suggesting to Atsme was that an admin (such as me) could consider restoring the RfC-endorsed merge ("merge" automatically involves a redirect...). If I was warning anyone, it would certainly be the editor who made this edit--not Doncram, who on multiple occasions reverted that disruptive reinstatement of all that content. One would think that after being blocked for creating a sock to make just these edits, they'd stop doing that. Anyway, if this AfD somehow closes as "keep" (I would find that strange, given the lack of arguments put forward by Andrew Davidson and Aunva6), ... no I don't see how this will close as "keep". Drmies (talk) 18:23, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

- Redirect as before. It's not a geographic feature, it's just one of many turns on a road racing course. Details about the road and the land nearby doesn't make it worth an article. --Michig (talk) 21:09, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per GEOLAND and there is far too much topic-specific content to redirect. --Oakshade (talk) 04:38, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Keep. WP:GEOLAND says natural features can be notable. This is an area of heathland which is a natural feature and the refs look ok. The RFC closed as no consensus which defaults to keep - the article should not have been redirected. Szzuk (talk) 15:02, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment The feature is a col which is a geographical feature as described in another disputed publication on page 116. The peat soil is of depth much great than the 'arbitrarily' soil definition of
25 cm50cm depth which makes it a moorland, a geographic feature. The citations in the article for notability define the area prior to the "road racing course" and a motor-cycle scrambles course also existed on the site which is greater than just a "small corner on a mountain course." agljones(talk)19:30, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

- Comment. To the couple good faith editors who have read the page and think it is about a noteworthy geographic feature, could you please you yourself consult and cite any source which says it is an area of open moorland or whatever. It has been debated at length at the talk page and in previous RFC and in long, slow edit war. IMHO it is crap, similar to automatic assertions along similar lines for other Isle of Man racing course stuff over many years. What matters is GNG. Please be specific about what source says what that you believe. Wikipedia is not a valid source, you can't just rely upon this article as the source for what you believe. It is all contended, controversial, fraudulent. :) --Doncram (talk) 21:39, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment For the clarification for other editors, in respect to the comment by edit [4] of 20:43, 30 December 2017 by editor User:Atsme ;- the List article is not the ".....main article of the course." If the editors did read all the talk page comments, then there is no censuses in the redirect to the List article over the "merge" to the "Snaefell Mountain Course" article. After a good faith attempt to resolve the long outstanding issue of independent notability WP:N issues of Circular reporting (feedback loop) and Confirmation Bias for the "Snaefell Mountain Course" article, this main article has now been renamed Mountain Course (motorcycle racing) by another editor, ignoring the common name of Isle of Man TT Mountain Course or TT CourseWP:COMMONNAME. The main article is the now this article "Mountain Course (motorcycle racing)" and has never been the List article. Any editor that has directed or redirected this article to List article has been disruptive. The revised article of edit of 16:47, 30 December 2017 [5] has reverted approximately to the 'status quo' of an open ended set of remarks by the same editor User:Drmies in regard to the edit (RfC) of 18:11, 23 February 2015 [6]. agljones(talk)20:37, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Preliminary comment. The name is NOT Isle of Man TT Mountain course, and never has been. I have voluntarily abstained from WP for some months, partly due to one hostile editor (elsewhere) and to demonstrate that no admin has any block-threat sanction against me regarding WP:OUTing and WP:HOUNDing (I can and will 'walk away'); this latter aspect is, however (here and here) preventing me from correctly top-templating (only to be used with the prior sanction of an admin???). Also articles authored by Agljones using sources not available to the public when autopatrolled (removed by Callanecc at sock-unblock, July 2015). Digest my edit summary, then note the source retro-added in the next change, 6 years after the actual article content. My claims since 2015 (roughly co-incident with the bureaucrat (knowingly) removing CoI content, after repeated attempts by IP addresses in violation of Callanecc's unblock requirement) are not spurious.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 04:41, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Editors would advise that the USER:doncram should refer back to the relevant Brandywell, Isle of Man# talk:page in respect to the issue of citations and verifiability WP:V and editors should not use spurious COI claims on these various talk pages to block discussion, specifically after being given a final warning.
- The objections from Editor User:doncram may be considered as another “laundry list” which is again very short on evidence. In regard to the land purchase in 1933 from the UK Crown and Treasury in the article, the 1984 Forestry Act in respect to granting public access refers to “….uncultivated mountain or moorland….” to distinguish different types of land use above the 250 metre map contour ‘Mountain Line.’ The status of WP:GEOLAND is in respect to being previously occupied and its “legal status” as a recognised place may be identified by the 2016 Isle of Man TT Road Closing order. It would be also incorrect to infer (ie Original Research WP:OP) that this section of the original turf road (c 1600) is the same as current A18 Snaefell Mountain Road as the “….small corner….” only dates from 1910/1922 (1933/35) as it is the most extensively modified section of the 'course.' agljones(talk)22:13, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Again, editors may advise that not to either disrupt or block discussions with “laundry lists” with little or no evidence which may be seen as ‘supermarket shopping.’
- The 2017 Isle of Man TT Regulations refer to the “COURSE” as the “Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Mountain Circuit.” The 1958 Isle of Man TT Regulations also refer to the “Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Mountain Circuit” and editors would again advise to refer to the appropriate BRD discussion. The 2016 Road Racing Act refers to the “Tourist Trophy Mountain Course” and the “Isle of Man Tourist Trophy motorcycle races.” The UK newspaper “Daily Express,” with a large national circulation refers to the “Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Mountain Course” on page 38, Friday 7th September 1979 which passes the process of independent notability WP:N, as a secondary source independent of the subject for this article.
- The term “Snaefell Mountain Course” in the List Article is difficult to define or locate and the very small number of sources for this term and are as Wikipedia describes as “trivial,” contradictory or the result of Circular reporting. The term has not attracted reporting over a long period compared to “Isle of Man TT Mountain Course” WP:SUSTAINED. The Windy Corner, Isle of Man has attracted attention over a long period of time in publications due to its connection with the Isle of Man TT races, the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course and as recently as May 2017, again the subject is found in an Isle of Man walking guide.agljones(talk)19:55, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

No evidence of notability for this Oxford choir. The references seem to be about demonstrating that individual soloists worked with the choir or sold CDs. Nothing here speaks of notability. Searches reveal nothing better. There are very many choirs in Oxford, many of a high standard, so just being an Oxford choir doesn't make for notability.

- Delete: It's certainly in a poor state. The website is now used by a Japanese insurance group; Earthlab.com of Kirkland, Washington is said on Facebook to be an art gallery. It looks to me as if the organisation is now dead, so the question is whether it was notable at the time back in 2007-8 (once notable, always notable). The "Earth Conservation Profile" was launched in 2007 and seems to have made a splash back then which might be notable, but perhaps that makes the article a WP:COATRACK for the ECP. There are sources to prove it was a nonprofit and to illustrate its activities, but insufficient to show notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:28, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

- Keep The scope and breadth of sources about his role as county prosecutor developing a response to the car-theft epidemic of his era is what establishes his notability. He's not notable per se as a county prosecutor or as a failed politician; he's notable because reliable and verifiable sources document his efforts and successes as prosecutor.

- Keep Notable engineer, passing the GNG. Came by a deletion on the Maidstone page. The deleter said he wanted a stub and it was easy to do. If this is deleted- it proves my point- stub creation is not 'easy'. The user has tried his best and provided a full link- that can be expanded to two WP:RSs. A cursory glance at Grace- shows notability, and it is useful to build up the articles on Maidstone's industrial base and get away from the stereotype Garden of England. I would be interested if an experienced boiler make could expand here on his fire-tubes. Notability does depend on sources not the engineers ability. I googled [11] which goes into detail on the Maidstone explosion, and Ellis innovative design of a steam truck allegedly taken up by Foden. http://steamwagon.com/books.htm advertises a R.A.Whitehead book Jesse Ellis and the Maidstone Wagons 84 pages.

- Delete with a very minimal merge. This is almost pure listcruft and we have had it since 2005! The only part that jumps out at me as salvageable would be to take the lists of writers and directors, remove all the unlinked entries, remove all the redlinked entries, remove any entries that link to the wrong people, remove any entries which point at articles that don't mention Sesame Street, and then then collapse each of these reduced lists down to a single sentence in the main article with the form "Notable writers/producers include...". The rest belongs on IMDB, which the main article already links to. There is no need to have it in Wikipedia too.

- Delete. The lack of notable sources and the material in the article itself would appear to indicate that it is a vanity project with limited public support. I don't see further research for sources redeeming the article from it being deleted.Knox490 (talk) 02:08, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Neither the article nor a search on Google could bring up any independent sources covering this product in any meaningful way.

- Comment German "Linux Magazin" magazine published solid looking article about GNU-Darwin in 2001/04 issue (monthly column by Georg C. F. Greve): [15]. Other than that, I found only short news (heise.de, pro-linux.de, root.cz etc.). Pavlor (talk) 10:39, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect to Darwin (operating system)#Other derived projects as this is ultimately a non-Apple version of Darwin and brief mention in the main article is appropriate. Due to the lack of sources, it would be hard to actually merge content from here. Personally I would restrict any description on the main article to 2 sentences or less.--DreamLinker (talk) 05:03, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, just to clarify. This is not a non-Apple version of Darwin. This is the FreeBSD packaging system (created by someone else) that was ported to run on Darwin. That may or may not work. That doesn't seem to have any support. That doesn't seem to have been updated for years. That doesn't seem to have been worked on in years. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 21:54, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- I should have pointed to this in the start. Back in 2011 people are posting to their discussion forum asking for help because ports don't compile and the lead developer is responding with "Development is on hiatus until replacements for the proprietary drivers can be found" "Many of the ports will require much hacking. We are not distributing changes until replacements for the proprietary drivers can be found." and that's pretty much the last genuine activity on the discussion forums (or mailing lists barring spam emails). https://sourceforge.net/p/gnu-darwin/discussion/49372/thread/c448f3b5/ AlistairMcMillan (talk) 22:21, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

This appears to be exactly the sort of advertisement masquerading as something else ("... not identifiable as advertising to consumers ...", likely to "... mislead consumers into believing [it is] independent, impartial, or not from the sponsoring advertiser itself ...") that is considered "deceptive" – and thus illegal – in the United States under rules laid down by the Federal Trade Commission (see discussion here).

- Keep. Has received coverage in a major newspaper and seems to have been played since 1922 (with over a hundred meetings). SounderBruce 07:22, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment. Would like to see a bit more coverage, but the Seattle newspapers from the 1920s to 1990s are not readily available on-line. Hopefully, someone has access and can check those sources. As far as the usual objective indicia of rivalries, several are present here: (i) geographic proximity of the schools (this is an intra-state rivalry between schools located 190 miles apart); (ii) the existence of a trophy (the Cascade Cup); (iii) the existence of an official name for the series (Battle in Seattle); (iv) long history dating back to 1922; and (v) frequency of play (over 100 games played on an annual basis, with a timeout for WWII, for almost 90 years).
- @UW Dawgs: It appears this AfD was premised on the belief that only one game had been played. Given the fact that the series was played > 100 times, would you consider withdrawing this one? Cbl62 (talk) 03:21, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Passes GNG. Sources: Seattle Times, "Battle in Seattle will be football in a pure form" (2004), "Western vs. Central: No small football rivalry" (2007), "Central, Western renew rivalry in “Battle in Seattle" (2008), "Reveling in rivalry, Northwest Colleges - College Football 2005" (2005), The Bellingham Herald, "Western-Central rivalry now `personal'" (1999), Daily Record "Rivalry!

- Keep. Nomination was made on erroneous assumption: "Only one game played in 'rivalry' per article." In fact, this rivalry game was played > 100 times. Also, the series satisfies WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources -- see sources in article and those found by WikiOriginal-9.

- First of all, I must say I am by no means anyone notable, but I love to recognize "valuable" people and document information about them. Since you claim and jump into conclusions that the article is "obviously created by subject or someone very close to him" or that it is a "family history album", I STRONGLY disagree and profess that I have absolutely no relation with, had no idea about or never heard of Michael Rogge. That is, until I recently came to know of some of his works (photographs, videos) on post-WW2 India, especially from some rural areas (which is indeed very rare, and perhaps does not exist outside any privileged British archives maybe) that became very popular in social media during the recent years. Later on, I came to know of his impressive work on South East Asia, Hong Kong and Japan. I also came to know that his works are being used by history/sociology/anthropology students or TV documentaries as primary sources (but mostly unofficially, so difficult to get citations). In fact, the main motivation for this article came from the situation that people who had freely used his work had absolutely no idea about who this person is.
- I fully recognize your right to call this "rubbish" and "a disgrace to WP", but I thought senior Wikipedians would respect my personal efforts to record a brief history of a previously unknown person, but a great soul who has contributed remarkably to humanity. Yes it is true that I have not added many primary sources on the only section on his early life that I have added so far; I added what I got first, and could not do further research as I got busy with my own work schedule. Nevertheless, in true Wikipedia spirit, I thought someone else would contribute with additional sources over a sweet time and absolutely do not expect any to kill my efforts like this. I have to state that it is a work in progress (like the majority of Wikipedia articles), I need time, and I hope to complete it in the next few months depending on my availability.
- Now, I have two questions to you:
- Do you consider only this particular article as "rubbish" and "disgrace to WP" (in its current state), or Mr. Rogge's works also as rubbish and non-notable? If it is the latter (as you may have intended when you said "zero notability"), I would respectfully disagree to your world view and how you consider historical contributions of an individual as valuable or not. FYI I just saw now that Mr. Rogge's YouTube channel (that I had included as a primary reference and which speaks volumes by itself if one looks with an unbiased eye) has over 60,000 subscribers and several videos with million+ views. If you are still not convinced, will this interview on History TV Channel (and associated videos on the Far East) suffice to convince you to give Mr.Rogge "non-zero" (> 0) notability? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp0TljCpCUc. If you are still not convinced, I have nothing more to say than a humble request: please do not to jump into conclusions based on your own views, rather please "try" to recognize the worth of this particular old man who has left a lasting legacy to humanity yet remained in private domain for most of his life until recently.
- If it is just a rubbish article about a notable living person, then do you think it is meaningful for a voluntary "community" like WP to reject a voluntary contribution within 3 days of its creation, rather than giving any concrete suggestions for improvement or at least marking it as a stub article? As a volunteer, I would rather like to learn what should a budding Wikipedian author have done to make it notable? Would you consider it appropriate (as per your definition of notable content), if it is marked as "under construction"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sahrudayan (talk • contribs) 06:55, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Nothing in what has been said by the page creator has addressed the problem of establishing notability through credible independent sources. What is most important, though, is that BEFORE creating a page on the encyclopaedia, the editor must arm him/herself with such sources and provide them in the page ab initio. If the editor fails to do so, he/she must expect the page to be rejected because it is the first principle of this encyclopaedia that the material be independently verifiable. This editor has completely failed in that most fundamental aspect of page creation. It is extremely undesirable for editors to take the view that they know something/someone is notable and they know there are sources to show this somewhere out there but they are not obliged to provide them and they can then expect other editors to come to their aid, do the leg work on the research and provide what ought to have been there in the first place. It is completely out of place to then seek to turn this around and say that I have failed in any respect, e.g. rushing to conclusions unfairly, etc. The onus is in the creator to exercise basic prudence and discipline in page creation. WP is in many respects a junkyard for this failing. sirlanz 09:24, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- We have seen a flurry of IP editor activity on the page since nomination. There is an awful lot of fluff on the page obscuring the true extent of notability of the subject, i.e. that a short amateur documentary and some travel/home movies were made in Hong Kong in the 50s/60s by the subject and which were once screened by a government department organised film festival there. The article dresses this up to look like a professional director's page, lovely filmography table and all. Look below the surface and what you have is an expat banker who loved taking photos and film and set up a film club, resulting in a few fun clips and one little docudrama. I maintain my objection to its publication on the ground that there is insufficient notability here. sirlanz 02:34, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- The actual facts are: a) Hong Kong Purchased his films for their official film archive, b) several retrospectives of his films have been screened, c) reliable sources like Speigel online have done in-depth profiles on his work, d) He directed and had broadcast several television documentaries, e) he's very notable in the Youtube world, and this has been covered by several in-depth articles in reliable sources, and f) more than enough people have written about him in WP:RS to establish GNG. There's also the issue of insulting an editor who went ot a lot of trouble to create an article on a notable subject. The main issue here in this AfD is how could a nomination by a 'veteran editor' be so far off base, and what's the point of trashing the article creator so viciously on this page and on his talk page?

- Let's keep this debate rational. Anyone interested in facts about this AfD may find a viewing of the article as nominated for deletion instructive. It discloses absolutely nothing notable about the subject. Not a single one of the six aspects of notability described above appeared in it. It gave a folksy history of an amateur photographer expat traveller who did nothing whatsoever worth knowing to anyone except his no doubt proud family members or the subject himself. The only sources were a youtube video (deprecated), a blog (deprecated) and the subject's own website (deprecated). The page was unmitigated trash unworthy of our encyclopaedia. It is no longer trash, thankfully, but it still fails notability criteria. sirlanz 00:53, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

- Notability is the issue: if the article is to remain, it must be made clear that the bases are these: (1) one amateur one-man band short of 20 mins made in Hong Kong; (2) one amateur short made with a bank co-worker in Japan (neither short made at a time when film material was in any short supply, rare or particularly unique and against decades of film-making preceding it in both locations); (3) one commercially staged exhibition in Japan; (4) one of many filmmakers screened at one film festival put on in Hong Kong by a government department; and, if you are so inclined (and I am certainly not), (5) made some 150 home-movies/travelogues that people enthuse about (at at time when thousands of people were doing just the same thing worldwide and in the subject locations); and (6) being a great collector of material for publishing on subject's youtube page (and bear in mind that subject is also promoting is book (http://www.bluelotus-gallery.com/shop/hong-kong-fifties-by-michael-rogge). sirlanz 05:31, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

- Our IP editor is not contributing anything to the decisionmaking process at this point. We need to hear something of substance from the other side of the debate about the crux of the claimed notability. Thousands took fascinating home/travel movies in the 50s the world over; thousands have assembled intriguing collections of all manner of things, historical and otherwise. Many of them have had exhibitions of their collections. Where is the remarkability justifying a WP article? What we need is something in the material itself that reflects something notable from the creator. There is absolutely no evidence of this in the case of Rogge. He did so little more than the average tourist, hobbyist videographer that I do not think we should be promoting his book/youtube promotional interests here. sirlanz 01:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

- Keep This is quite a pointy nomination. It's not really necessary to insult so many things-- the article, its author etc. As to the article subject, he seems notable if you do some background searches. Here's a good source on HKmemory, which is published on the government of Hong Kong. That leads me to believe that the Wikipedia article is probably accurate. I see more sources in Google Books, of which some seem to be in other languages. It would seem that at least GNG is established.104.163.153.162 (talk) 05:45, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Here also is a long profile in the German publication Der Speigel. That just about nails the notability. User:Sirlanz should try WP:BEFORE and actually checking for existing sources next time. Here's another profile, this time in French, on a site called globalvoices.org. He is apparently very well known for these films. And lastly, here are two pages by the HK ministry of culture describing a MIchael Rogge Film retrospective. Part one and part two. As the HK government itself says in the articles, "Michael Rogge began documenting Hong Kong on film even before the Hong Kong government formed its own film production department. This is why Rogge’s document of Hong Kong life – adding up to over 200 minutes of footage – has become an extremely valuable artifact for Hong Kong." SO basically all of the nomination criteria here are false-- most importantly, he is notable, recognized and good sources exist. 104.163.153.162 (talk) 06:06, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Vanity project of a Chinese tuhao who apparently abandoned the project (notice the lead Chinese actress Shi Yanfei was at that time the girlfriend of this oligarch "Jon Jiang"). The film was filmed in 2010–12 and it's almost 2018, with "many of the actors and production and technical crews still unpaid" as of December 2017 (the last sentence of the lede).

- Comment From one of the sources, "The "Empires" budget tops the previous most-expensive film made in China, John Woo's 2008 boxoffice hit "Red Cliff," by $20 million", and that was when there was "only" $100 million spent on it. As the most expensive production in China's history at the time of its creation, it seems like its failure was indeed notable enough for an article, if only for the incredible Wiseau-like ineptitude necessary to waste that much money. If the failure of this movie isn't notable, I don't know what failure would be. Is there proof to the contrary?ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:23, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Trivial coverage of the band (attention from NMW was one paragraph - the second ref covers their debut album) and a lack of awards and/or songs on a national music chart, this band doesn't seem notable enough to have their on WP page.

- Keep. We judge notability on whether subjects satisfy our guidelines, not on the state of articles. Just a couple of minutes searching found [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33] in addition to the perfectly good coverage already cited in the article. Satisfies WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. --Michig (talk) 08:51, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Sort of off putting to say that I am not judging the article by "our" guidelines here. I took issue with the sources provided (not entirely impressed by the 15 of yours I combed through either), and in researching the band I could not find awards or songs on the national music charts - those are WP:NBAND guidelines that I used to come up with my conclusion - nothing to do with the state of the article. Maybe try not to be so condescending in your response next time? Comatmebro (talk) 21:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hmm. You gave no indication in your nomination of having looked beyond what was in the (admittedly very poor) article, and your nomination didn't mention any coverage other than the two sources already cited, despite plenty existing. WP:BAND doesn't require awards or songs on national music charts - they are just of two of the criteria in that guideline. There's enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG and criterion 1 of WP:NBAND. --Michig (talk) 22:01, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep About half the sources provided by Michig are run-of-the-mill type coverage a professional band receives for mere existence. However, the other half appear to indicate genuine, non-promotional third-party recognition. Should be enough for this subject to merit an article. ShelbyMarion (talk) 19:58, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Since the band has a song feautered in a very popular videogame allot of people might be looking for it. ([user: somethingcoolandstuff]) 23:25, 2. January 2018 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Somethingcoolandstuff (talk • contribs) 22:25, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

- Delete Felman was a bit player in the whole "Chetniks tried to redeem themselves by rescuing US airmen" story of late WWII. Not notable on his own by rank or awards. I have removed some EL refs to Carl Savich, who is a blogger at best, and certainly isn't a reliable source. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:26, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Nominating on behalf of a new user Wmacmil who posted to WP:BLP/N pointing out the lack of sources. Note this is a declined PROD from 2012 that has not had sources turn up. A Google search turns up one interview on CBC News and a host of his own writing in the Globe and Mail, but I am not seeing the multiple independent coverage required for inclusion per the general notability guidelines. Unless somebody else can dig up more coverage, Caplan is likely not notable enough for an article. Malinaccier (talk) 02:01, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

- Weak Delete. Not to be confused with a psychiatrist of the same name. I found this short bio from The Canadian Encyclopedia but thats about it. I could not find multiple reliable sources to verify this WP:BLP. There maybe some sources if someone is willing to wade through his own writings; not sure if WP:PROF applies here.

- Delete does not meet our inclusion criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:43, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. The short bio in The Canadian Encyclopedia confirms notability, and also provides claims of significance both as co-chair of two major commissions, and as author of what they call "one of the best books to have appeared on the CCF Party". The book, The Dilemma of Canadian Socialism, also has two published reviews [34] [35], not enough by itself for WP:AUTHOR but adding enough multiple reliably-published in-depth coverage of some of Caplan's work to confirm the notability from the encyclopedia article. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:05, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep -- combination of available coverage, including in The Canadian Encyclopedia and reviews of books establish sufficient notability for a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:49, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. The article definitely needs improvement, but in addition to the sources shown above he garners over 1,300 hits in ProQuest's Canadian Newsstream database (and no, that number's not a typo). He's not as visible in the media lately as he was in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but Wikipedia's notability criteria don't require recent media coverage — if we can dig out old stuff that predates googlability, it still counts toward passage of WP:GNG. Notability ultimately depends more on the existence of quality sources rather than their already being in the article — and the necessary quality of sources is very much out there.

Small chain of fitness clubs that doesn't appear to pass GNG. Google and Google News searches reveal the standard social media stuff, as well as various clubs in cities with "X City" names (Kansas City, Quezon City, Atlantic City, and the like) that do not appear to have any connection to this northern California business. The one reference in the article is a small promotional blurb about a then-upcoming opening of one of these clubs posted on a site that allows businesses to submit their events for posting.
