"The topic of the article does not really seem to be that notable" is about as convincing as "I don't like it." Then he says it only gets 5 hits a day, which is not at all a ground for deletion. One problem is that it has a different name in its country than in English, butthe English name gets about 1100 Google hits. See [1] I looked through some of these but it is not immediately clear which of the foreign sources are considered reliable sources in Wikipedia terms.Edison (talk) 20:53, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Article lacks independent reliable sources for notability, WP:Org Cllgbksr (talk) 03:17, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep The organisation is praised by various sources as Norway's leading LGBT organisation.[2][3] There's detailed coverage of some of its work in a book published by Routledge[4]. My Norwegian is very limited but it is mentioned many times in the Norwegian press e.g. Aftenposten[5]. An alternative to deletion would be merging to LGBT rights in Norway. But currently the arguments for deletion are very weak: mainly "There aren't any sources cited in the article" rather than "There aren't any sources anywhere". Colapeninsula (talk) 10:17, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
Delete. Totally fails WP:GNG. Firstly, on Google, this article comes up straight-away. Secondly, the title does not mention Norwegian LGBT Peeps. It says, National, so that's misleading. Reads like WP:PROMOTIONAL SW3 5DL (talk) 21:58, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Your "firstly" reasoning seems just a bit strained. If you google "Paris", "chimpanzee", and "quantum mechanics", the relevant Wikipedia articles come up first in the results every time. I assume you wouldn't recommend deleting those articles. RivertorchFIREWATER 04:49, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, couldn't have a more notable role in Norwegian minority rights history. Geschichte (talk) 16:36, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, a very important organization, especially historically. Searching for the older names of the organization gives many more search results than the very recently created name. For example, "Det norske forbundet av 1948" gives hits 317 hits in the National Library of Norway's database (as in 317 different books, newspapers and such), "Fellesrådet for homofile organisasjoner" gives 23 hits (including paper encyclopaedias and the Norwegian parliament), "LLH" is more challenging to search for, as other organizations also use that name, but combining LLH with relevant words gives 500+ hits in the database (including, for example, government studies and statements).
- Simply Googling the current name (and criticizing said name) isn't enough to evaluate of an organization is notable or not, nor is the current state of the article. If it should be necessary to disambiguate the title, then "(Norway)" should be added at the end of the Wikipedia title, but I don't think that's necessary seeing there appears to only be one "National Association for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender People". Manxruler (talk) 08:39, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Manxruler: On the contrary, if the name is moved to include Norway, then I'm fine with the keep. My point is, this is specific to Norway and should so state that. Just because there's no other group calling itself by this same name, doesn't mean there won't be in the future. This could be America, or Canada, or England, or France. Moving the page to include Norway, makes it relevant there. SW3 5DL (talk) 01:43, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Seems to be historically significant. If so, it's inevitably notable. More sources are needed, but I see no reason to delete. RivertorchFIREWATER 04:52, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - but I'd like to see the page move to same title and (Norway). Just because it's the only org with this title as far as we know, doesn't mean it always will be the only one. The sources need to be improved and there's no getting past that. SW3 5DL (talk) 01:59, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Individual Masonic lodges , just like the local groups of other large organizations, are not notable. The refs are trivial. I would have listed it for speedy A7, but it's a declined prod. DGG ( talk ) 17:42, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment. The article includes a section on the building shared by this lodge and others, the "Ionic Masonic Center" (as it is labelled on the building, seen in photo). The article has an NRHP infobox (it should have a more generic building infobox instead), but the building was built in 1850 apparently and at any rate it is not listed. The building can be mentioned in List of Masonic buildings in the United States#California; i will try to add something there now. --doncram 18:25, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- According to the article, the building was built in 1950 (not 1850). So it isn't as if it were especially old. More importantly, since the building isn't on any historical register (such as the NRHP), then it does not meet the inclusion requirements for that list. I have removed it. Blueboar (talk) 18:59, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Notability not established. With no major news coverage outside of his hometown. His entire discography consists of a guest spot for one song (interlude does not count, as the two songs combine into one larger one) on someone else's album, which was not even a single. Kellymoat (talk) 16:23, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Notability absolutely established. The user nominating for deletion has misgendered the artist repeatedly, has not looked at the substantial list of sources on an artist who is tipped by the BBC as one of the breakthrough acts of 2017. She also appears in two tracks on one of the most successful albums of this year. Presumably Kellymoat does not believe that the BBC, Billboard, Evening Standard, Guardian constitute 'news coverage outside of his hometown'??? This is a totally spurious deletion request and the article should be kept. Jwslubbock (talk) 16:29, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Strong Keep This is a really strange nomination, especially given the references provided, the nominator's inability to gender her correctly, and how close it is to the creation of the article. I am wondering, in fact, if the nominator has an agenda of some sort against the subject? Anyway, in terms of my reasoning to keep, I point to the substantial coverage via reliable sources such as BBC News ([7]), DIY Magazine ([8]), The Fader ([9]), Music Week ([10]), Clash ([11] and [12]), The Evening Standard ([13]), DIY again ([14]), BillBoard ([15]) and more. Many of these are dedicated profiles. Jorja has also been a credited artist (albeit a feature) on a UK Top 40 hit. She is also scheduled to headline a stage at Latitude Festival ([16]). She's also had passing mentions in Metro, The Guardian and more. None of these publications are based in her hometown (Walsall, near Birmingham). I'm just really confused by this adamant nomination but she clearly meets WP:NMUSIC due to the wealth of coverage. Finally, she meets criteria #7 of WP:MUSICBIO too due to her features on BBC Radio 1 (e.g. [17] and [18]) in which she appeared as the focus of broadcasts. KaisaL (talk) 16:40, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Per rational provided above. I think to say the nominator had some sort of "agenda" is a reach. I would argue (as someone who has been guilty of this myself) the nominator probably saw the name, didn't take the time to determine whether the singer was male or female, saw "2016-present" in the info box, and immediately went for CSD. The research done by Kaisal above is enough for me to believe this passes WP:MUSICBIO and should be kept. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 22:13, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Meets WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC per the BBC interview. Don't think nom has an 'agenda,' Those comments are totally inappropriate here, and would best be stricken. Remember WP:AGF. SW3 5DL (talk) 02:14, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

- When looking at whether or not a rule applies for if a Wikipedia article should be a candidate for deletion, I look at past occurrences for the same type of article. For this, I used George Carlin's HBO stand-up specials, which literally every single one of them got a respective article. Likewise, notability of this subject increases somewhat significantly when considering all of the heated controversy that has happened with this special and the alt-right. Keep.

- @Cllgbksr: The series has been widely covered by many sources (see my keep vote for the exact sources); this article may be unfinished, but it does not need to be deleted. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 04:31, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - This show has been covered by LA Times, New York Times, and Huffington Post, among others. Amy Schumer herself responded to the criticism of the show on Instagram, claiming that the amount of one-star reviews she received came from "alt-right trolls", as covered in Fox News, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, and USA Today; these sources connected r/The_Donald to the Netflix rating bomb.

- @Yoshiman6464: Having many RS cover her special do not make it as a stand alone topic notable. See WP:SPINOFF which clearly says its in the case when it would otherwise make the main article having undue weight. This is a subject that could easily be covered in a paragraph or two in her main article without any undue weight put on it. - GalatzTalk 14:04, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- You're right. But if that's the case, why did you set out to delete instead of simply proposing a merge? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:06, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Shawn in Montreal: Based on what the article currently has I did not think it added anything to warrant merging. I stated that the points he made COULD BE covered in a paragraph or two, but I don't think the article in its current state does that. Outside of the information about the special itself, which is included on the main page, there are 4 sentences. I did not feel that warranted merging, however I would not object to that vote if you felt that the content should be merged in, just in my opinion this is delete not merge. - GalatzTalk 20:56, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

- Very interesting to me to see how this article, like so many others, seems to be playing out as a battleground for US ideological issues. The stub was recently halved by an IP editor who claimed it was "weird" that an article would address "topical and political" issues. Which of course is not the case, especially if the reaction to a creative work or performance, and debate over it, is part of the notability. Wikipedia is not censored.

- Keep Snow? Stand-up specials regularly have their own pages (like different books by the same author; different films by the same director; etc.) and this has plenty of sourcing to sustain the entry (in fact to expand it--more information is available to present a fuller description of the content of the special, critical response, audience criticism, Schumer's response, etc.) I'm hard-pressed to see the argument for deletion. Innisfree987 (talk) 21:11, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

- Thank You very much for all the remarks and interesting points. I am a brand new Wikipedia editor and I am surprised by the very quick and professional reaction and comments. The article is in the process of creation / inputting based at my professional research. I hope my article will defend by himself because of his scientific professionalism , his innovation, contribution and by his new concept of the subject in the field of Economical Geography. I believe it will be removed soon from this “Articles for deletion”: category.
Re: “Steve is the man” – thank You for Your remark . This is my original professional research based on the current researches from reliable sources in the field economical geography so your argument that is WP:OR is not good. Re: “Clarityfiend” – thank you for your remark. I already improved a lot this article from your last talk entry and now is much mor tidy and not so messy it seems to be at the beginning.

Wow I really don't know what to say. This article is just many reasons that Wikipedia is not taken seriously as a source. This article is complete trash just because many people have coined the phrase doesn't mean that it's the name of an actual generation or that it should have it's own article. The phrase is usually used by people who are actually so called "Snowflakes" calling others who don't agree with them "Snowflakes". This article should be Deleted I can't believe it's been nominated twice already it's an embarrassment to Wikipedia. It's not a real generation 10, 20 years down the road this isn't a term people will use. AllSportsfan16 (talk) 04:34, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep See Talk:Generation Snowflake/Archive 1#oh come on.... nominated for deletion, "and it survived that process with flying colours." at 09:05, 20 December 2016 (UTC), etc. The above merely repeats pov which has been discussed repeatedly, see Archives. Qexigator (talk) 07:35, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Term (Generation Snowflake) seems much used and sources are sound. WP: I don't like it is not a valid reason for deletion.Xxanthippe (talk) 08:57, 28 March 2017 (UTC).
- Delete Allsportsfan's "words fail me" reaction is entirely understandable. The same people keep popping up every time the article is nominated. The fact is the article was irredeemably biased from the beginning, and any attempts to remove that bias have been resisted. Even attempts to move it to Snowflake (slang) or Snowflake (pejorative) have been resisted; this would at least give the article a chance to be an article about a slang term rather than a "kids these days" attack piece. It needs WP:TNT. The sources are mostly garbage too, just trashy op-eds and polemic pieces. In particular the pieces by Michelle Malkin and a nobody called Eleanor Halls who writes fluff pieces for GQ should not be cited as sources. Let's sort this crap out once and for all, it is entirely unacceptable that the article should be retained in its current blatantly POV, unencyclopedic state.

- Keep The references included with the article include multiple reliable and independent secondary sources with significant coverage,and widespread use, satisfying general notability and WP:NEO. It was kept twice in recent months, and instances of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources continue to appear. Sorry if the term offends some editors.

- I don't find it offensive I find it ridiculous because usually the people who use the term are actually so called Snowflakes themselves. Anyways it does not belong on wikipedia because it's a term that was made up by somebody and will lose it's meaning someday.

- Speedy Keep because this article was Kept at AfD in November 2016, and again in December 2016, it is far too soon for a do-over. Also, it passes WP:NEO with secondary WP:RS considering the origin and usage. A good deal of sentiment both in hits that pop up in searches and in these 3 COUNT THEM 3 AfDs in less than 6 months amount to WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT, and I get why given that it is a pejorative. But do sources support notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:12, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- This is from the WP:NEO page: Wikipedia is not a dictionary, phrasebook, or a slang, jargon or usage guide. Not to mention the sources are mostly opinion pieces that aren't reliable sources.AllSportsfan16 (talk) 05:53, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

- Comment the fact that the article has passed two previous Afd's does not alter the fact that it is a terrible article. This is why an editor who previously had no involvement came across the article and immediately, instinctively thought it should be deleted. It was conceived as a POV article to ridicule young people and attempts to alleviate this bias by getting rid of some of the crappier sources like GQ or moving it to a more neutral title like Snowflake (slang) have been resisted by the POV pushers. "Generation Snowflake" is not a common term but a meme that was pushed by a British provocateur named Claire Fox to sell her book, with the co-operation of compliant British media like the Telegraph and the Daily Mail. The actual slang term that the article should be about is "Snowflake" as used in Fight Club. Wikipedia should not be doing Claire Fox's propaganda for her. MaxBrowne (talk) 02:03, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
- I fact-checked your assertion that "'Generation Snowflake' is not a common term." here: [19] is the gNews search on snowflake + generation, ghits supports the idea that it is a common term. That said, your point about the article title is well taken. Here: [20] is a gNews search on snowflake. Clearly the more common use. After the article is kept, you can start a discussion on the talk page about moving to a more neutral title like Snowflake (slang). Cheers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:20, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
- The other problem with the title is that it has become a pseudo-sociological article. This is a politicized insult, not a term used by sociologists to describe an age demographic like "baby boomers" or "the silent generation". Naturally, most of the sources that use the term "snowflake" in combination with "generation" will be sneering right wing op-ed pieces that ridicule millenials. Sources that discuss the term "snowflake" more neutrally will note its probable origin in "Fight Club" and discuss how the term evolved from criticism of parents who think their children are more unique and special than other children, to criticism of young people who grow up believing this (exemplified by people who claim to be "agender" or "gender fluid"), to criticism of college campus culture, and now a politicized insult used by Trump supporters to stereotype millennials or just liberals or protesters in general. A neutral article might provide a few op-ed links as examples, but they would not dominate the list of references, and it would definitely not link to poorly researched garbage like the GQ article. MaxBrowne (talk) 01:51, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- We can make the article clear that this is a pejorative and not a cohort/generation label. Frankly, it already is rather clear in the lead. But that does not mean we need to delete it. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:33, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- There was already a recent page move discussion to move article to Snowflake (slang). The result was no consensus to move.[21]. This was contested at move review [22]but the result was endorsed. However, the move discussion result offered path forward which was to create a new article on snowflake slang (just changing the title isn't an easy fix because the current article is about generation snowflake) and once the new article is stable, start a discussion to merge generation snowflake article into snowflake (slang) article.--DynaGirl (talk) 04:30, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

This month – April – is the sixth in a row that the article has been nominated for/as something or another... deletion, move, NPOV, etc. I've had enough, now that personal attacks are produced automatically as part of the 'discussions'.

When I run into this sort of animus on a topic (and it happens a lot) I back off for a while, or edit a little on a non-controversial topic that I happen to know something about (cf. gleaning).

This is the information on the real UNESCO web site about International Handbook of Universities, stating that the real IHU (I doubt this is the same publication) is NOT a UNESCO publication and not associated with UNESCO - they merely have a copy in their library. The British Virgin Islands National Commission for UNESCO has a page at http://www.bvi.gov.vg/departments/bvi-national-commission-unesco which does not mention unesco.vg. The phone number in the whois lookup for the web site is a Miami, Florida number (phone number for a company that registers international domain names), whereas the phone number for the real BVI National Commission for UNESCO has a British Virgin Islands number. With the only references being this dubious web site, verifiability is lacking. Jack N. Stock (talk) 03:14, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

- Delete – does not meet WP:NBOOK at this time. Author has no article so a redirect is implausible.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 02:02, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: The book blurb in the reception section wouldn't be able to give notability for two reasons. The first is that the book's author works for Google and as such, anything written by them or their employees would be seen as a WP:PRIMARY source because it's in their best interests to say nice things about their own employees as it makes them look better. The second is that book blurbs are just short statements that are solicited by the author and/or publisher and are intended to be placed on the book jacket or publicity material to boost sales. Books just plain sell better with endorsements and the thing about these blurbs is that they're not part of a longer review and are just a sentence (or two if they're especially lengthy) written explicitly to promote the work at hand. So far I'm not finding anything, but I'll try searching a few more databases before making a final decision. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:25, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Those other database searches didn't take long because there's just nothing out there. I found a mention here, where the author was supposed to talk at an event, but it doesn't seem like any further publicity came from that appearance. It might gain more coverage in the future as this work was released about a week ago, but right now it's just too soon for an article. I have no objection to recreation if/when those sources come about. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:29, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Here are some sources about the subject:
- McMahon, Barbara (2017-03-28). "The man who invented a happiness algorithm - and learnt to cope with his son's sudden death - Mo Gawdat thought he had unearthed the secret of unalloyed joy. Then his child died and his theory was sorely tested, he tells Barbara McMahon". The Times. Archived from the original on 2017-04-02. Retrieved 2017-04-02.
The article notes:
Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy was written in the months after the tragedy. The Google executive acknowledges that a book about happiness might seem an unlikely subject for a bereaved father to take on, but it sets out the research that Gawdat carried out over 15 years and that helped him, his wife, Nibal, and daughter, Aya, to deal with their loss.
...
It was this discovery, which he calls "committed acceptance", that helped him to deal with the death of his first-born in 2014. His son Ali had been studying at college in Boston, but decided unexpectedly - he had been planning to go travelling - to come home to Dubai for a holiday. Four days later he complained of a stomach ache and was admitted to hospital for a routine appendectomy. While he was on the operating table a needle punctured his femoral artery, one of the most important vessels carrying blood to the heart. "Within a few hours my beloved son was gone," Gawdat writes in his book.
...
Seventeen days later he sat down and wrote Solve for Happy. The words poured out, he says, because it is also a tribute to his son, whom he describes as "a role model for peacefulness, happiness and kindness".

The article notes:
Pan Macmillan has pre-empted a book by the v.p. of business innovation at Google [X], the company behind Google Glass and the self-driving car.
Carole Tonkinson bought UK and Commonwealth rights to Solve For Happy: Engineering Your Path to Uncovering the Joy Inside by Mo Gawdat, who likes to be known only as "Mo", from Julian Alexander at Lucas Alexander Whitley acting on behalf of Michael V Carlisle at InkWell Management.
...
Solve For Happy aims to explain the logic behind happiness and the rigorous process everyone can apply to find it. Seventeen days after the death of his son Ali, Mo decided to share with the world how he applied his engineering expertise and creative problem-solving skills to find an algorithm for lasting happiness: an equation that can actually deliver joy.

The article notes:
Among Inkwell’s notable titles in London is Mo Gawdat’s Solve for Happy (on submission in the U.S.), which explores, the agency says, “how we fit in the world.” Gawdat has worked at Google since 2007 and, in 2013, joined Google X, a somewhat secretive division of the company focused on technological innovation. (At Google X, Inkwell noted, Gawdat worked on something called Project Loon, an effort to use high-altitude balloons to bring affordable Internet access to billions of people.) In the book, Gawdat will map out, using his background as an engineer and “humanist,” the steps he’s taken “and that anyone can take, to enrich their lives.”

Solve for Happy by Mo Gawdat (Mar., unabridged CD, $29.99, ISBN 978-1-5082-2799-1). Gawdat proposes an equation based on an understanding of how the brain takes in and processes joy and sadness. Then he solves for happy.

- Comment: I strongly believe in Wikipedia's goal of being a gazetteer per WP:5P, and so I agree with the rather loose requirements laid out by WP:GEOLAND for named natural features. However, despite what's stated above, there is no presumed notability for named features on a map: GEOLAND requires that "information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist" for named natural features, and "The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article." The only source given is a map, which sure enough has the "Rio Caroaebe" on it - so its verified, but that's only enough to ensure its place within the List of rivers of Roraima article. My searches have turned up nothing but wikimirrors (and confirmation from NGA GeoNames that this is a recognized name), so I'm not convinced this is deserving of a stand-alone article as yet. I'm not voting delete, however, since I don't believe that I am able to do a thorough search given my limitation to online sources and my inability to speak Portuguese.

Non-notable businessman. The FT article is the best coverage there is, but the subject of that is more the EMBA than about Bragagni's life. Other than that, the coverage is either very brief e.g. [28] or not in RS e.g. [29]. SmartSE (talk) 08:14, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Kontrola (creator) with the rather misleading edit summary "correction". I stand by my original rationale. The subject seems like a very low visibility artist, no News/Books/Scholar mentions, ~500 Google mentions total. Not all artists are notable, and this one seems a pretty bad failure at meeting WP:CREATIVE. This looks pretty close to WP:VANITY/WP:COI paid-editing, I am afraid - so I'd like to ask User:Kontrola if they have any COI to disclose here? PS. In either case, I do appreciate that the artist licensed a number of his works under a free license, but we have to remember that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for promotion of individuals.

- Redirect to OpenXDF#History, where the Neurotronics, the company, is mentioned as the developer of the OpenXDF data standard. I agree that this article is OR and that neurotronics as a search term for neuromorphic engineering is not compelling. But the company is a real entity and is somewhat notable for initially developing the openXDF standard.

- Reply to Priotrus post 07:50, 28 March 2017. Yes Wikipedia is not about cataloging magazines, it's about info which is notable. The fact that this magazine has been able to work with famed designer Bata Spasojević, well known singer and model Radmila Lolly, hosted the Miss Nepal fundraiser as well as being involved with another event in relation to the May 2015 Nepal earthquake, it has attracted attention. It has a following in India and is now written about in Serbian media. It is quite involved in the fashion scene in New York as well. Karl Twist (talk) 10:25, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

There's no agreement, though, about whether to let the now-stubified article stand as it is. Perhaps an editorial solution will appear in time. Sandstein 07:08, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

This has been tagged as OR since it was written. It appears to have been cut form whole cloth by an account that looks on the face of it like a shared account for a class project, hence the fact that it looks like a term paper. Guy (Help!) 13:48, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
DeleteThe article appears to be exactly as Guy characterizes it above. It was written by user GradInstLWOTSclass2014 (talk · contribs), who was only active on Wikipedia for a week, two years ago, right at the end of Fall semester 2014. The creator's chosen handle GradInstLWOTSclass2014 (LWOTS: "Law With Out The State"; it doesn't get any more WP:SPA than that) and the nature of the content makes it very clear it's a term paper consisting almost entirely of original research and opinion.
- That being said, there probably is some interesting topic, the concept of law in a region in the absence of a formal government, somewhere at the heart of it. For example, the Oklahoma panhandle was in such a state from 1845, when Texas ceded the territory to avoid having to give up slavery, until 1890, when Congress formally made it part of the Oklahoma Territory. In the meantime, for those decades where it was part of the US, but with no form of government, the residents made up their own, and it's actually pretty fascinating. There are likely other similar instances in history. The general topic of law without a formal government is probably worth having an article on, if it can be found to be properly addressed in pre-existing reliable sources. But this is not that article. TJRC (talk) 23:16, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment parts of this might be salvageable. The section on "History and origins in Europe" is pretty decent, talking about the decentralized nature of law in Europe prior to the development of the modern nation-state. On the other hand, the section beginning with "The internal and the external point of view" and going through "Paradigms in law" seems to be chock full of OR, and not written in an encyclopedic manner. Phrasing section headings as questions seems especially egregious to me. The modern examples the author chooses (international arbitration and EBay) don't necessarily seem like good examples of what the piece is arguing - but that right there indicates this is not a suitable WP article as an encyclopedia article shouldn't be arguing anything. The piece seems well researched, with good sources, but ultimately it's not an encyclopedia article. Moreover, I'm not convinced that "Law without the state" is the best title for an encyclopedic article about extra-governmental norms. There is such a thing as the Stateless law theory, which might be what this article is trying to be. I'm torn between wanting to have this deleted as it is not an appropriate article, and wanting this kept as there is some good material here for an article on stateless law theory. If I thought I or someone else would get around to completely rewriting it I'd !vote to move it to draft space, but the fact of the matter is that it needs a complete re-write and I don't feel like tackling that.
So I guess, reluctant delete.~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 21:05, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

- My immediate reaction on seeing the title was that this was some sort of class project. It's a twist on "This is the State above the Law. The State exists for the State alone."

- Comment. GBooks hits: 80k for Law without the state, but many are misleading (parts of sentences -> "...law. Without state...", etc.); 8 for transnational stateless law, 27 for private legal orderings. There is something out there, but I am not well versed in legal issues to even confirm they refer to the same concept. I am not sure how much of the gutting from [32] to the current stub is justified, but I am not prepared to spend 1-2h researching this, so from a cursory glance I'll abstain. Hopefully a legal expert who is more capable of commenting on this will eventually take a look at this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:11, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Smurphy: I do think the topic is encyclopedic; but I'm not entirely sure about handling it at this title or in this format. I think the original article was trying to blend several different ideas together and create a unified theory in a way that I'm not sure is really done much in academic literature. I think the stub I've reduced it to is basically saying, "This could mean X, Y, or Z" which sounds more like a dab page. I can see developing this into an article with 4 sections, one for each of the last 4 sentences in the stub I made. On the other hand, I can see individual articles about each of those 4 sections (and indeed, we already have articles on customary law and a whole series on law in medieval Europe - we're missing 2 things: 1. a description of stateless law theory in anarchist political thought, which does look to both indigenous customary law and the legal norms of medieval Europe for its foundations; and 2. any generalized way to handle norms established by non-state actors, which in modern times includes things like the ISO and the Unicode Consortium, but could also be considered to encompass some specialized UN agencies). If we had individual articles to point to perhaps this would better serve as a dab page pointing at those articles, but perhaps not. My biggest concern is with the title. I really don't like having this at "Law without the state". That said I'm really not sure what to do with it. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 18:26, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hmm, ok so I think I kind of understand where the article came from, User:GradInstLWOTSclass2014 was one or more people involved in the Graduate Institute of Geneva class, Law without the State taught by Thomas Schultz probably in 2014 (here is the 2016-2017 syllabus). If the article is not deleted, I like the idea of a DAB page. Conceptually, each of those 4 things seems encyclopedic and a page comparing each of them could work, but the original page was not that and it doesn't look to me like Schultz' work is that, so such a page would, right now, probably by WP:SYNTH/WP:OR. Smmurphy(Talk) 21:47, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- I like the principle of what ONUnicorn's done to preserve it; but we're still left with the issue that it describes multiple, loosely-related topics. It's not an encyclopedic article at all, despite ONUnicorn's valiant effort. Maybe we just pick one topic, and stub it down to just that one? Or we do that multiple times and make "law without the state" a DAB. TJRC (talk) 22:20, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment @Smmurphy and TJRC: There's a problem with the DAB page idea - anything on it would be a partial title match, so it would fall foul of a DAB page guideline. Narky Blert (talk) 19:59, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a writer and lawyer, with no genuinely strong claim to notability under our inclusion criteria for either occupation. This is based almost entirely on primary sources, with very little evidence of any reliable source coverage that's substantively about him -- the few things here that actually count as reliable sources just briefly quote him giving soundbite about a topic, rather than actually having him as their subject. I also strongly suspect a paid-editing conflict of interest here, as the creator's username is "ALMPR" (which corresponds to the name of a public relations firm in California.) As always, neither writers nor lawyers are automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because their work exists; they must be shown as the subject of enough media coverage to pass WP:GNG, but nothing like that has been shown here. Bearcat (talk) 03:23, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I wanted to discuss the Orlando Ortega-Medina article to clarify that I do not work for a PR agency called ALMPR in California, I am based in London in the UK. I wanted to ask if there was something wrong with the post in terms of references and citations now? Citations have been included throughout the biography of Orlando, so please do let me know what further we could do? Would really like to be able to keep this alive if possible. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by ALMPR (talk • contribs) 09:13, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- In order to support notability, citations in a Wikipedia article need to be to reliable source coverage about him in media. Coverage of other things which merely happens to mention his name one time in the process (e.g. [33]) does not support that he's notable enough for an article; coverage of other things in which he's quoted giving soundbite (e.g. [34]) does not support that he's notable enough for an article. His own self-published website does not support notability. Corporate press releases do not support notability. YouTube videos do not support notability. His profiles on the websites of organizations he's directly affiliated with do not support notability. Event calendar listings do not support notability. Only certain specific types of sourcing — media coverage which is about him — count as notability-building references, and exactly zero of the sources you've used in this article are actually hitting the target.

- The secondary sources are generally WP:RS, but I think they are WP:1E. Unless I misread, the articles that are actually about this person (the dog rescue ones and obits are not) are about a performance where he nearly drowned during an escape stunt. I would like to see more than that for WP:GNG. It might just be a case of WP:TOOSOON and a redirect makes it easy to recreate the article if there are future sources.

No indication of notability. No citations. Even imdb does not list this film. Was deprodded without rationale or improvement. Onel5969 TT me 11:37, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. Onel5969 TT me 17:28, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep because
contrary to Onel5969's odd claim,there were citations before they put the article up for deletion. Furthermore, film has been covered here and here. All this seems to establish interest in an upcoming film and demonstrates notability. Lack of IMDb page does not necessarily mean anything, especially considering that IMDb is English-language and may focus a lot more on Western films. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:54, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Just to note that plenty of upcoming non English-language films do not have pages on IMDB. There were several films competing in the main section of the last Berlin Film Festival that did not have an IMDB page until after the festival. IMDB is essentially a wiki, with editors on that site waiting for their own reliable sources (press releases, etc), before adding a new title to their database. Hope that helps.

there are no citations backing up the content on this article except for the first sentence therefore you cannot back up the claims also an article on Ozark adventist academy violates WP:ORG there is no evidence that the school itself is notable there is not much coverage of the school in newspapers TV or otherwise Jonnymoon96 (talk) 02:22, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

citing the NCES database which i have checked here[2] and here [3] however being in a database does not establish notability as this school also having an article on Ozark adventist academy also assuming coverage is not good enough the supposed coverage must be citied also schools do in fact have to meet WP:ORG--Jonnymoon96 (talk) 20:39, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Bansal Classes is "known" by many in India, no doubt. However, apart from brief mentions in articles that appear during the JEE results season, it's impossible to find neutral sources that can be used to write a NPOV article on Bansal Classes. I also see many such articles on Wikipedia -- Techno Herald, Resonance Kota, FIITJEE, etc. Whether the arguments presented in WP:NHS ought to be extended to these institutions is something that can be thought about, but as per the current policies, I don't see how this article can be written in a way so as to pass WP:GNG. — Stringy Acid (talk) 23:44, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
There are three institutes named Bansal:
- Bansal Classes Private Limited - website, founded by Vinod Kumar Bansal, based in Kota, notable - covered in WSJ, Reuters, and also PaGaLGuY (note that all three of these mention the founder)
- Bansal Learning Private Limited - website, founder unknown, also based in Kota, non-notable.
- Bansal Tutorials Private Limited - website, founded by Dr. T.K. Bansal, based in Delhi, definitely non-notable
The subject of the article we are discussing is uncertain, though it uses the logo of #2. The article mentions the founder as Swati Bansal, but a Google search shows that there doesn't seem to be anyone called Swati Bansal who founded any coaching classes. The subject of this article, at its creation, was actually #3, though it changed over time to #1, because #1 seems to be only that has any sources. In the two previous AfDs, Wp:Articles for deletion/Bansal Tutorials and Wp:Articles for deletion/Bansal Classes, the result was keep/NC only because the keep-voters were looking at the sources of #1.
I note that there existed an article Bansal Classes which mentioned Vinod Kumar Bansal as founder and hence it is explicitly about #1, only that it was recently G11'd. RickinBaltimore, please restore it, the promo stuff can easily be removed/repaired as I did with this article. Its restoration would allow us to decide properly whether to keep this article or that. It has already survived 2 AfDs. 103.6.159.85 (talk) 10:16, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

An article on a special issue of a magazine, Bass Player, itself a possible subject for deletion. There are many "lists of greatest bass players" to be found when trying to find sources to support this article (so I am attempting to satisfy WP:BEFORE but thus far nothing usable has come up. Article creator has said this is analogous to similar best of lists put out by Rolling Stone and NME, but those are long-standing, influential publications, and their special issue "list of" issues have been the subject of reliable source coverage. This one has not. The issue itself, would be fine to use as a source for other articles, but to have an article for itself, I just don't see the justification. ValarianB (talk) 12:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- Delete It's a bit of a puzzle saying what notability this fails. It appears there are no independent reliable sources that have coverage of this articles subject article. Fails general and WP:NBOOK. Articles not in some exception category require significant coverage by independent reliable sources. Gab4gab (talk) 17:49, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Don't agree with argument made for deletion. NME & RS cited as "long-standing, influential publications." Bass Player is in print almost 30 years. How do we define influential? All 3 mags are notable and influential to the audience they are intended for; NME & RS widely regarded in rock music world, BP widely regarded in bass world (all musical genres, not just rock). Also, a quick Google search on NME Greatest Bass Players does not appear to reveal any more significant independent reliable source coverage than Bass Player's. I can add some of those sources to article if needed for consensus. Rsooch (talk) 22:17, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- Rsooch, the article currently has two references and one external link. All of them lead to the same source: Base Player magazine. That's not independent coverage. The point made above by ValarianB is that the other publications "list of" issues have been the subject of coverage by independent reliable sources while no independent coverage of this list has been identified. So, if you can, certainly it would be helpful for you to at least identify significant independent coverage by reliable sources here before this Afd closes. Gab4gab (talk) 15:53, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- Gab4gab, I'll edit article to include independent coverage. Please note that all 5 external links on NME's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time lead back to NME, and 2 of the 5 references also lead back to NME. By that standard, I'll update BP article to include at least 3 reliable independent references... please hold off deletion for now. Rsooch (talk) 19:13, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- Gab4gab, Independent coverage seems to be only references to the fact that specific players made this particular list, for example Beta Entertainment or Yamaha Group and several others, but none seem to address the actual premise of the article itself. I was under the impression that a published list by a widely regarded publication could warrant an article based purely on the publication's influence, but will defer to my dissenting Wiki editors here if consensus is for deletion. I'm in agreement with ValarianB that the magazine issue itself would be fine to use as a source for other articles, and therefore those who made the list could have a mention of their Bass Player's list ranking in their own Wiki articles. Would like opinions on this as well. Rsooch (talk) 18:04, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

- Ajf773, How do we define "depth of coverage"? Quantitatively? NME's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time lists only two independent reliable sources of coverage out of the 10 references & links listed, with all others pointing back to NME. Also, consider this Wiki article: Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century which lists no independent coverage, so what is its notability based on? It appears the influence of the publication may factor in, and should. Rsooch (talk) 17:36, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

- Just going to make one last comment here, and then will defer to my fellow editors on decision. Ajf773 Regarding the reliability of Facebook as a source, here is the specific Wiki guideline from Wikipedia:Identifying Reliable Sources, listed under Exceptions in section header Self-published sources: "Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field... these requirements also apply to pages from social networking websites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook." The criteria / requirements are listed in the section, feel free to read. The two FB sources I listed above are from self-published pages of two players on the 100 Greatest list, and whose comments would seem to verify the notability of the list (the subject of this page's article). Perhaps others would care to weigh in on this discussion so we can make a determination? Rsooch (talk) 17:37, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Delete. Internet radio service with no strong claim to passing WP:NMEDIA and no strong reliable sourcing to support it. All of the footnotes are to blogs or user-generated discussion forums rather than to real media -- and while there's one external link to a piece of real media coverage, it's a Q&A interview with the station's founder. But that's a class of sourcing that can be used for supplementary confirmation of facts after WP:GNG has already been cleared by stronger sources, but cannot bring the GNG in and of itself because it represents the subject talking about himself rather than third parties objectively assessing his impact (and even if we did accept it because magazine, it would still take more than just one legitimate source to pass GNG.)

- Very very weak keep. As a college player, the appropriate notability guideline is WP:NCOLLATH; he does have a little coverage independent of the team, as a captain/starting linebacker, that could put him over the bar. That said, the article needs to be updated (he has already played his final year) and rewritten to remove excessive personal details. ansh666 19:46, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- Modest keep. Since it isn't known whether he will someday play in the NFL, keep for now. Revisit the issue later on. --Oskinet (talk) 02:52, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- Weak Keep (or move to draft) - Probably an even weaker keep vote than Ansh666, but keep nonetheless. Realizing that Wikipedia is not WP:CRYSTAL, the likelihood of him being an NFL player is pretty good based on the coverage here. Of course we will know more in a month which is why moving to draft is a good option. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:19, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Advertisement. There may be some notability here, but the basic principle of WP:NOT is that we do not include promotion, regardless of the possible notability or importance. I see no way of improving the promotionalism from this article without removing the basic content. Examples of promotionalism : continual use of adjectives of praise, extensive name-dropping, and uncited statements like "Longuet decided that she was in need of a new adventure" ; "Her use of ... creates an ultra feminine look with European sensibility" "She began freelancing with the magazine in 2011 where she shares her secret addresses around the world and her favorite products". "Her overall mission is to bring forth well-rounded awareness strategically and creatively to luxury brands,"-- all this would be more than a little excessive even on her own web site--puffery of this sort is singularly unconvincing.
and I see no clear evidence of notability -- most of the references are from her own web site or written by her or author blurbs, and the rest are mostly notices or press releases. DGG ( talk ) 00:23, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Regardless of the article's quality, puffery belongs to fashion. For notability, you may consider this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.73.134.206 (talk) 07:03, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Overly promotional article on a non-notable figure in the fashion industry.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:24, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: this does look to be purely promotional, both in tone and in content. This impression is reinforced by the editing history: the article was created and many times edited by an SPA, then briefly by a second SPA, then by a user named JulietteLonguet, now blocked. Notability is not established, either within the article or on the Internet. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:12, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Puffery and usage of adjectives of praise do belong in fashion (also stated above), therefore the commentary and description of a figure within the industry in that manner is necessary. This article is solely speaking of Longuet in a way in which others within the industry do, therefore is not "purely" promotional via content. As for tone, any article speaking of any public figure's successes and career titles should do so in the same, praiseful manner. Praise does not necessarily have to equal to promotion and advertisement. This article and its various notable references serve as no violation to WP's principles, and should therefor be removed from a deletion consideration. Cprosper1(talk) 00:50, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Overly promotional, but delete as non-notable; the only possible demonstration of notability is via Forbes, and even that was written by a contributor, not a staff writer/editor. ("Forbes" is a community content platform.) JSFarman (talk) 17:01, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

trivial local organization with no general reach. Only the most local of refereces, and even these are mere notices. Despite clean ups of the worst of it by several good editors, there remains no fundamental notability, DGG ( talk ) 00:22, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
