- I agree Wikipedia is not Linkedin. My opinion is that as a leading Indian venture capitalist involved in multiple projects, high profile deals, and interviews with news companies regarding the state of Indian economics, Sandeep Tandon should have an article denoting his contributions to Indian venture capitalism. A couple of other sources not in the original article, but should probably be added are https://inc42.com/buzz/used-car-marketplace-spinny-raises-funding/ (showing Spinny another startup), https://www.inventiva.co.in/2019/06/13/list-of-most-active-angel-investors-in-india-every-startup-should-know/ and https://www.cnbc.com/video/2015/10/01/is-india-ready-for-a-tech-revolution.html.

- Comment. Seems to me like this AfD needs more discussion. On the one hand, he's notable for being the first Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs of the United States, and he received a lot of coverage for it. [1][2][3] The Trump administration seems to have also appointed a Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs, also named O'Brien, which reinforces that notability claim because his nomination seems to have created a WP:LASTING effect. On the other hand, WP:BLP1E could apply here: I cannot find any other WP:RS that aren't passing mentions or O'Brien being the primary source. Would be interesting to dig into hostage books and see if he gets decent coverage, but it might be WP:TOOSOON. Pilaz (talk) 15:48, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Uncle G (talk) 12:46, 13 June 2019 (UTC)Our review of the literature had led us to anticipate there to be no clear consensus regarding the definition of 'meso' or those characteristics that delineate meso research, and our informal survey did not disappoint us.

- Keep The nomination's claim that this is original research seems quite false. The level of citation seems quite reasonable and there are plenty more sources out there such as entire books on the subject – see The Psychology of Behaviour at Work: The Individual in the Organization, for example, which naturally includes sections on personality and psychometric testing. Relevant policies include WP:ATD; WP:BEFORE; WP:IMPERFECT and WP:PRESERVE. Andrew D. (talk) 07:42, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Andrew Davidson, I said largely unsourced. To be a bit more accurate, over 75% of the article has no sources. But even claims that do have sources, such as "Each of the sixteen different personality types either have a positive or negative affect for patterns of behaviour amongst individuals" Samson (2018) are still hopelessly wrong. That isn't remotely what Samson said, who summarizes it himself as "The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment measures a person's preference for introversion versus extroversion, sensation versus intuition, thinking versus feeling and judging versus perceiving". That is quite a bit more accurate, but unfortunately still doesn't point out that the MBTI is pseudoscientific nonsense. For me to call it OR was perhaps a mistake. As for the topic, the micro-level of organizational behavior is a notable topic. If you think the article can be fixed, please show how. The only option I see is a complete rewrite. I have considered merging with Organizational behavior, but I see nothing in this article that could improve the target of the merge. If you do, please identify what can be retained.

- Leaning Keep: the trajectory of this band seems to have mirrored that of the band they evolved from, Polytechnic – interest from the music press and alternative radio stations, supported bigger name acts on tour, released one album, then split up... at least, I assume they split up before making a second album, because their website and their record company's website are both dead, and the band's social media goes cold in 2013. It's true I can't find much in-depth coverage of the band itself online. But their sole album was reviewed by a variety of reputable UK music publications, as shown at AnyDecentMusic [3] (the MusicOMH review link is dead, but easily retrievable using the Wayback Machine). Wide coverage of this album doesn't surprise me, given that Polytechnic had attracted a fair amount of interest from radio and record labels, and there would be interest in the music coming from this new group. And given that the album was reviewed in so many publications, I think it's likely that there would be at least brief print coverage of the band itself in NME and Q from the time.

- Delete. Notability for local political figures is not a question of the municipality's population — it depends on the quality of the sourcing, and a population of 100K is not an instant notability freebie for a mayor or municipal councillor or board chair in the absence of adequate sourcing. People also do not get Wikipedia articles for running as candidates for higher NPOL-passing offices — for "Texas State Senate" to have any bearing whatsoever on his notability, he would have to have won that election and thereby sat in the State Senate as a Senator, not just run and lose. But the references here are not building a strong case for his notability: they are nearly all primary sources and small community hyperlocals in which coverage of the local political scene is merely expected to exist, and the only one that's a genuinely national source just briefly mentions his existence in the context of being fundamentally about something other than him. This is not how you make people at this level of political office notable enough for Wikipedia articles: the notability test is not "as soon as his name has been mentioned in a national media source once" — he has to be the subject of substantive coverage, not just get namechecked in coverage of other things, before a source assists in building his notability at all.

A websearch come up with mentions here and there (mostly on social media and video sharing websites), but I'm having trouble locating any sources apart from this 2010 article about the creation of the "brand new dance genre" of swop. That's not enough for a standalone article, and that's not enough to warrant adding a mention to either Swing music or Lindy hop (the swing style that apparently influenced this modern development). Swing Hip Hop looks like a potentially valid more general article, but that got deleted ten years ago. – Uanfala (talk) 12:58, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

However I have no confidence that this article accurately describes the concept of "context-aware network" that the above sources discuss. It seems to be a lot of unreferenced assertions and original research.
It does cite one published book (the first cite above), but it doesn't clearly identify which page(s) in the book supports which of its assertions. Although the book does briefly discuss an "Ad Hoc Context Aware Network" at one point (p.22), what it has to say about the topic appears to have only limited connection with what this article talks about.
Also found Christian Makaya; Samuel Pierre (5 April 2012). Emerging Wireless Networks: Concepts, Techniques and Applications. CRC Press. p. 87. ISBN 978-1-4665-1619-9. which appears to plagarise/copyvio this Wikipedia article (given most of the article text was written in 2005, and that book was published in 2012, I presume the plagarism/copyvio is from Wikipedia to CRC Press and not the other way around).
While this topic itself might be notable enough for an article (if someone was sufficiently motivated to write one), the currently existing article is basically unsalvageable, and so deletion is the best option. WP:TNT. SJK (talk) 12:19, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

- delete per WP:TNT. This is an excellent topic for an article, should anyone wish to write one. Unfortunately we don't have one as yet, and this article (pretty much unchanged since the first draft in 2005) is so lacking that I see it more as a barrier to a decent article than a useful starting point or framework. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep WP:TNT is neither policy nor guideline and so is not a valid reason to delete. The actual policy is WP:IMPERFECT which states
Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome. For instance, one person may start an article with an overview of a subject or a few random facts. Another may help standardize the article's formatting, or have additional facts and figures or a graphic to add. Yet another may bring better balance to the views represented in the article, and perform fact-checking and sourcing to existing content. At any point during this process, the article may become disorganized or contain substandard writing.
- The current draft is in no way an obstacle to improvement. If the nominator or anyone else thinks that they can do better, they can overwrite any or all of the current text per WP:REWRITE. The deletion function is neither required nor helpful. If we were to delete the article instead, this would tend to disrupt development of the topic in several ways. Firstly, there would be no existing text to attract readers. Secondly, anyone trying to recreate the topic would find that it had been previously deleted and this would explicitly deter recreation. Thirdly, article creation now has to jump several hurdles due to non-wiki bureaucracy which now makes it quite difficult for casual readers to start new topics. So, it is much easier for people to revise an existing page than to create a new one. Fourthly, by maintaining an edit history, rather than deleting it, we are all able to inspect the history of the topic and so, in the event of dispute, able to ascertain what exactly has been attempted over time. This encourages experimentation and boldness, because we are able to revert to a prior version, if something doesn't work out. See also WP:ATD and WP:NOTCLEANUP.

- Delete per nom and Andy Dingley. The actual topic title may be notable, but all indications seem to point towards the fact that this article does not, in any way, correctly or accurately describe what the actual concept is. There is a big difference between an article that is imperfect, and one that is comprised entirely of WP:Original Research. WP:TNT may not be official policy, but the idea that incorrect, borderline incoherent, articles are better than nothing is ludicrous. Rorshacma (talk) 15:15, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Lacks ANY reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required WP:GNG.

- Never heard of Yasin Börü so I ran a proquest news archive search on his name. Here is the first article in the search:
- Yasin Börü murder case goes awry, top suspects present documented alibis
Cihan News Agency; Istanbul [Istanbul]17 Apr 2015. " STANBUL (CIHAN)- An investigation into the murder of four members of the Free Cause Party (Hüda-Par), among them 16-year-old Yasin Börü, has come undone, as three of the top suspects have presented documented alibis.
- These suspects have proven that one was hospitalized, another was behind bars and the third was serving in the military on the opposite side of the country at the time of the murders, which took place during violent protests in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir on Oct. 7.
- The undeniable innocence of these suspects has aroused suspicion regarding the integrity of the investigation.
- The latest proof of innocence was presented earlier this week, after Ersin Adiyaman had been labeled a fugitive, located in Istanbul, taken into custody and detained for a day. Following his detention, the branch of the military in which he had served sent documents to authorities revealing that Adiyaman had been performing his mandatory military service in western Turkey while the crime was taking place on the other side of the country. Adiyaman testified at the Diyarbakir 5th High Criminal Court, confirming that he was in the 57th Artillery Brigade in Menemen, a district in the province of Izmir, between Oct. 6 and 8, and that he was only discharged on Oct. 22.
- In March, lawyer Mahsum Kaya revealed that his client, Ahmet Y., was in prison while Börü and his friends were murdered. Kaya stressed that, though he had submitted documents proving that his client was still behind bars until Oct. 9, his client has not been released.
- Similarly, suspect B.D. has been able to prove that he was admitted to Selahattin Eyyübi State Hospital on Oct. 2, where he received treatment until Oct. 24, making him unable to have committed the crime.
- During the Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice) holiday, Börü and his friends Riyat Günes, Ahmet Dakak and Hasan Gökouz were distributing the meat of sacrificed animals to those in need with friends in Diyarbakir, a province at the center of violent protests that took place across Turkey between Oct. 6 and 8. The protests were triggered by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levent (ISIL) having besieged the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani.
- According to witness reports, the four friends came upon a group of protesters on Oct. 7 while distributing the meat and ran away, seeking shelter in the lobby of an apartment building, where they were pursued and stabbed by the protesters. Witnesses say Börü fled to the building's upper floors but was pushed out of a third-floor window by unidentified protesters. The group ran over his body with a car and crushed his head with a stone.

- My comment: There are 54 news stories in the archive. Activists in the case has a twitter account with 5141 followers [4], translation reads: Yasin Börü Case: This account is used to inform the public. Developments related to the judicial process will be shared. Google his name and lots comes up. At this point, I have no idea what tht fuss is aobut, not even sure whether he Kurdissh, Turkish, or whethere this is about one of the other foualt lines that causes regular plitical tremors in Turkey. But there is a page on him in Turkish Wikipedia: [5]. And the terse nominating statement makes me wonder what axe Nom has to grind here. E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:58, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

- Praxidicae I think your argument is valid, we should not be a phone book, and we should not promote CEOs' egos. However, It seems that Rotary International is not a company, but a really large NGO, operating in 200 countries, with 1.2 million individual members, which makes it one of the largest non-religious membership movements. The question, of course, is how many largest NGOs deserve detailed coverage and bios for their CEOs. I'd say that probably not more than top 100 per budget, membership, or some other criteria are a safe bet. I don't have any data to support that, but my best guess that RI would satisfy this criterion because of its wide membership. Pundit|utter 07:24, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
- You seem to be making an argument based on the fact that it's core mission is "good" but Wikipedia is not a soapbox. No one is contesting the notability of Rotary International, so I'm not sure what your argument is here about the organization itself but even so, notability is not inherited.

I'm not sure how to tell whether this means it doesn't recognise the word in French, it doesn't have an English translation for it, or it's the same in English. — Smjg (talk) 09:20, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

- Comment Are you saying you've looked through all 117,000 hits on Google, and not one of them is a use of the word? @Echo1111: Did you make this word up, or can you provide evidence that this is a word in actual use outside of your circles? — Smjg (talk) 10:28, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Xe does not have to do that. We aren't lexicographers looking for word uses, we are encyclopaedists looking for documentation of article subjects. (You need more familiarity with Google, by the way. It won't show 117,000 results to look at, and there will not have been 117,000 results. That is not the way that Google works. Indeed, 117,000 is not even the figure that it gives to me.) Uncle G (talk) 13:11, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Although the first page of the Google search gives a high number of hits (I get 106,000, same ballpark) but if you actually go through the hits, it stops at page 12 with a total of 115 hits so yes, you can check all of them. They're almost exclusively pages in French and the few pages in English don't use the word with the meaning proposed in the current article. Pichpich (talk) 22:26, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Sarminhamidi (talk) 12:19, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Keep As I see, I guess the article has enough to be kept here. This article provides reliable references (i.g. Journal of open source software and Github -the most popular community of software developers-, etc.) in comparison with other accepted articles for "open-source software" (as @Sarminhamidi: has mentioned) that most of them are self-cited (some of them even do not reach the Wiki's criteria). In addition, this library with more than 640 stars, 200 dependent codes and 1000 installs per week, is more popular than currently available articles on English Wikipedia like ELKI, Cantera and OpenNN.
I hope my comments are helpful. Aviow (talk) 13:37, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

- Keep It seems a notable article to me. Some big names like Naver[1] and Maastricht University [2], used this library in their projects. And also this library has top rank in statistics [3] and statistical-analysis [4] topics in github.--SebastianQuilo (talk) 22:24, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
- SebastianQuilo: I mean. You do sound like we're going to map the whole dependency tree of Github projects. We're not going to have an article on non-notable library even if some other non-notable libraries authored by some notable entities use it. Notability is not inherited. You don't write an article about every single department of a company, same here for libraries.Viztor (talk) 08:45, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- Viztor: Your statement (Notability is not inherited) is completely right. But a big question is : what is the exact definition of notability? there is no general answer for this question which includes all the topics. These kinds of libraries, never reach general notability, but are popular between experts. I suggest you to take a look at Scikit-learn (a big name in machine learning), most of it's references are their own website.--SebastianQuilo (talk) 11:51, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- SebastianQuilo: Well, your arguments are based on definition, so I will have to answer on that. Notability can be defined in many ways, as given in many guidelines. However, I'm pretty sure in this particular case, the library is not that popular even in the list you give, with the top one having 5k stars and this few hundreds, while scikit-learn is the most popular in some categories. If you'd like to push for some other inclusion criteria for software libraries inclusion, I'd welcome that. However, even if something like that is presented, with the data we have now, this particular library would not merit an article. Viztor (talk) 12:15, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Article about an online news startup, not properly sourced as meeting WP:WEBCRIT. Websites are not automatically guaranteed Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but must be shown as the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG -- but three of the six sources here (its Alexa rank, its self-published masthead and a Twitter tweet) are primary sources that do not count as support for notability at all; one is a media bias-rating directory that does not have a well-established reputation as a reliable or accurate rater of media bias; one is a news story which tangentially verifies a stray fact about a person named in the article body, while not even namechecking this website's existence at all in the process; and the last is a podcast.
The podcast is actually a stronger source than usual in this case, as it actually includes genuine third-party analysis about The Post Millennial by an unaffiliated journalist, and is not just a Q&A interview in which the site's founders are talking about themselves -- but it's still a podcast, which means it doesn't get this over the notability bar all by itself as the only acceptable source in play. None of the other sources are doing anything at all, as all of them fail one or both of the "reliable source" and "substantively about The Post Millennial" tests -- but that still leaves us with just one decent notability-supporting source, and passing WP:GNG requires much more than just one decent notability-supporting source.

- Delete per nom. Doesn't meet WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or related guidelines. For example, neither of the main papers of record in Ireland (IT and IN&M) have any history of coverage of the subject directly. (There are one or two things about his businesses going into administration/etc. But nothing where he is the main subject of the coverage). The same is true of the handful of links which were added to stave off the original PROD tag. (The linked articles do not cover the subject. They cover the subject's businesses. And, at that, only one very limited element of those businesses). That the article seems to have been initially created as some form of attack page (or a joke?) is also a significant concern. Mine is a very firm delete recommendation. Guliolopez (talk) 11:23, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect to Association_for_Computing_Machinery#Special_Interest_Groups, where it is mentioned with all the other ACM SIGs. I was unable find enough sourcing to satisfy WP:GNG notability thresholds. According to our deletion policy WP:ATD, alternatives to deletion should be considered before deletion. Basic facts about this SIG are verifiable, however, and the SIGSIM is a plausible search term. Hence redirect is a reasonable alternative in this instance. --

- Reading these, it seems that it is possible to write a decent article, far better than what Wikipedia has now.

- It was an article split, and the page looked like this quite happily for five years, preserving the edit history and author attribution (which were not carried over), until just over a month ago someone undid that. Always check the edit histories when nominating things at AFD. Deletion is, after all, the removal of the edit history and authorship (from view), so one should be aware of what one is asking about. Uncle G (talk) 12:51, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - since the separate singles and albums discographies were split from this article, this article must not be deleted to preserve attribution. That said, it is actually the separate album and singles discographies that should be deleted, since the split was unnecessary and contrary to the treatment of other musicians' discographies. Rlendog (talk) 13:32, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- Or if the separate singles and album articles have been updated more frequently than the main article, that information should be merged into the main article and the separate album and singles articles should be redirected to preserve attribution. Rlendog (talk) 13:34, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- Another option, if the separate album and singles pages are to remain, is to redirect Donna Summer discography to Donna Summer#Discography. That would preserve the history while removing the duplication. postdlf (talk) 18:05, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

- Merge and Redirect Donna Summer albums discography and Donna Summer singles discography Back Into This Article - I don't think that old page split described by Uncle G above was a good idea, per WP:CONTENTFORK. Now we have two pairs of articles (Discography/Albums Discography AND Discography/Singles Discography) repeating each other's information. If a new greatest hits album were released next week, it would be necessary to update two different Discography articles and there is no guarantee that a user would know to do both, thus making two articles on the same thing inconsistent with each other. Or, enthusiastic maintainers of Donna Summer articles have to do everything twice, which is redundant and likely to cause errors eventually. Put everything back into one Discography article. It's okay of that article ends up being very long, because Donna had such a long and accomplished career. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:52, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
- Keep this article and delete the other two as per User:doomsdayer520. It is okay to have one long article. However, I would trim some of the irrelevant and unsourced content about her label associations. Even if the content can be sourced, it still not belong in the discography, which is essentially just a list.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:13, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
