This is a house with lacking notability, with the only reliable sources being in passing mention related to The Blair Witch Project. At best a redirect to the article about the 1999 film. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 23:22, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
The Griggs House has primary documentation that indicates it as a historic structure in the Maryland Historical Trust of Historic Properties - Record BA-1579, (Updated Feb 11 2016) representing early architecture and settlement of the town of Granite Maryland. It is secondly notable as a significant storyline feature in a movie of worldwide distribution and to a lesser degree notable in nationwide coverage for the conflict between state resources performing an unusual accelerated demolition as preservationists were in process of gathering resources. FlugKerl (talk) 18:37, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- First of all, notability is not inherited. Second, the nationwide sources that were about this house were in relation to only the film and were published upon the film's 1999 distribution. Third, saying that a home has "primary documentation that indicates it as a historic structure in the Maryland Historical Trust of Historic Properties" doesn't automatically make the house notable. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 21:37, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep - If the Maryland Historical Trust considers it notable, so should we and their report is extensive.[1] We are not the decider of notability but other organizations such as this that specialize in history, research and the historic significance of properties certainly is. It would still be notable if it had nothing to do with any film. --Oakshade (talk) 23:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

- List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Ayrton Senna (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Not enough notability to justify having his wins as a dedicated stand alone list. This is a general purpose encyclopedia, not a F1 or Senna fan site. All his wins are already listed in his own article as well.Tvx1 23:03, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep The list provides easy navigability of Senna's wins, which are not there listed separately in the main article. He is very notable globally, and readers like me would want to be able to read up on his wins separately without having to individually pick it out from a dense article. This particular list features professional standard prose, has an engaging lead, is comprehensive, is easy to navigate, complies with the manual of style and seems stable. That, for me, is the Featured list criteria and not the criteria to nominate for deletion. Perhaps you may wish to reconsider this nomination. Thanks. Xender Lourdes (talk) 01:25, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep the Senna's Grand Prix wins are extremely notable; whenever another driver approaches and passes his total it is reported as a significant achievement in the press Formula1.com, Fox Sports, Sky Sports for example. While Senna's win are listed in his article, that is only as part of his complete Formula 1 racing results, and does not give the level of detail of this article. As Xender Lourdes mentions, this list allows an interested reader to compare and contrast his victories. The list meets the criteria for a Stand-alone list, given the length of the parent article. The article follows a similar style and structure to standalone lists such as List of international goals scored by Wayne Rooney, List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar and List of international rugby union tries by Jonah Lomu. I'm well aware that WP:OTHERSTUFF is an argument to be avoided, but the presence of these articles demonstrates that the nominators point that "This is a general purpose encyclopedia, not a F1 or Senna fan site" is not valid, as the list follows a style already common on Wikipedia. Harrias talk 07:32, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep A clearly defined list on a notable topic. This looks like it should be up for a Featured List nom and not an AfD. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 07:53, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep The list displays a clear merit for notability on a globally known individual. It would make sense for the list to be kept as it would allow users to easily navigate which of his victories they want to read about. Z105space (talk) 11:15, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep No different to any other sports where very notable individuals have stats-based lists about their achievements. Clearly passes WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:44, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Well-sourced list of wins of a highly regarded driver in the sport's history. Addressing the nominator's argument that his wins are already on his article, it is listed in a complete results block format. A reader only interested in his victories would not easily be able to make comparisons. A link to this list could easily be added to that section using the {{see also}} template. Twirly Pen (Speak up) 07:21, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment None of the above keep votes does actually attempt to address the actual issue whether the his list of wins as a group have enough notability in reliable mainstream sources, as outlined by WP:LISTN. Yes Senna is very notable and yes the fact that he won 41 races is notable as well. But I have not seen provide clear evidence being provided from any of the keep voters that the identity of all his wins as a group receives enough notability in the mainstream reliable sources that they merit a standalone article in a general-purpose encyclopedia. Again this isn't a motorsport fansite. And remember that he's only the fifth all-time in number of Grands Prix wins. If really desired we could always incorporate a form of the list in his own article in a similar fashion to this. The claim that the results summary in his article doesn't allow an interested reader to easily find a compare his wins is nonsense. The wins are clearly highlighted by using the number one an by having a specific color. The wins stick out clearly from all the other results. Tvx1 20:04, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Hi Tvx1. "Nonsense" is a strong word to use here. I can understand your stand but you should see that the editors out here are only trying to help you reach a decision on whether the article should be deleted or not. It's not a battle of you against others. Thanks for linking up WP:LISTN. I see that the guideline does clearly mention that "There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y")" – given that this list is named List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Ayrton Senna, I can now understand why you are debating. But your point that editors have not addressed the standalone notability is wrong. Multiple editors above, including Harrias, have shown that the stand alone detail is clearly notable. Reliable sources commenting on Senna's wins can be found quite easily specially given the recent Hamilton surge, for example – Fox Sports photo feature on Senna's F1 wins, The Telegraph on a watch series based on Senna's 41 wins, ESPN on Vettel crossing Senna's record, CNN on Hamilton matching Senna's victories, Fox Sports doing the same, BBC, The Guardian, Sky Sports, and many more. As Harrias mentions, this happens every time someone comes close to Senna's record. To preempt a possible rebuttal based on these references, WP:LISTN also says "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." Do reconsider this nomination if you can. Thanks. Xender Lourdes (talk) 03:06, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- Reply I think you are misinterpreting WP:LISTN here. It states that there is no requirement that each item on the list is independently notable. That means one doesn't need to provide mainstream reliable sources for each and every race Senna won, discussing it in detail, but rather some mainstream sources that discuss the list of wins he achieved. With the exception of the Fox photo series you came up with, none of the sources you came up with mentions even one of the races he won. They only mention the fact that he won 41 races, which I already is the only notable fact about his wins. So having not seen any proof that the list of his wins (not just the number) is a notable topic in mainstream sources, there is no chance I will reconsider my nomination. I still don't think this article sits within the purpose of a general-purpose encyclopedia. What's most unconvincing in your stance, is that deleting this article would eradicate all information on Senna's wins from wikipedia. That's simply not true. His wins are already listed in his own article and could always be given a dedicated list there as well. The meaningfulness of his number of wins is already addressed in List of Grand Prix winners and List of Formula One driver records. A standalone list that does nothing but state where he won each of his 41 wins is therefore overkill. Tvx1 17:28, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining Tvx1. Let me clarify. I have never said that "deleting this article would eradicate all information on Senna's wins from wikipedia". On WP:LISTN, I have read up your explanation. Let me be honest that I am all but two months and a few days into this project so you and others obviously have more experience and knowledge than I have about policies and guidelines. For an editor like me, WP:LISTN's statement that "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been" would clearly signify that there is no need for the whole list to be documented. If one were to go by your interpretation, then the guideline should have read "The entirety of the list needs to be documented in sources for notability – but there is no requirement that each item on the list is independently notable." Given this, your interpretation of the current words of the WP:LISTN guideline seems faulty. If you believe that the current guideline does not represent what your interpretation alludes to, then with your experience you should go and change the guideline because the current wordings do not at all convey what you seem to be forwarding. I shall repeat, I am not an experienced editor here and you should not consider my words the final ones. Thank you. Xender Lourdes (talk) 01:33, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- You handily left out the following sentence of the guideline though: Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable. This clearly shows that all the items in the list don't need to pass WP:GNG independently, but only the list of items have to as a group. All you have proven so far is that the number of wins he achieved is notable, not the set of which wins he achieved. Tvx1 18:30, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- Because as per guideline The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been, your reply above may well have been the closing statement of the administrator closing this discussion as a keep. Tvx1 as I feel we both are repeating the same points, I would now await the administrator's views or of other editors'. It was a great learning experience commenting here. And I have to thank you for that. Xender Lourdes (talk) 00:40, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

The article was created by a bot in 2009 based off of a Wikibooks article. Since that time, it has had a notability tag on the article for six years, and nothing has improved. Additionally, none of the people listed here are inherently notable, especially as this moderately-sized town in New Hampshire. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 22:44, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

This article reads like a political campaign platform, not an encyclopedic article, completely unsourced. If this article is kept, it needs to be substantially rewritten or pared down to one paragraph. But in this case, TNT might be the way to go as the article reads as if it is promoting this political party. Liz Read! Talk! 22:22, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

- Rewrite the lead and discard the rest. It's a fairly marginal party (less than 6000 votes in the 2014 elections) but its outrageous activities have received quite a bit of media coverage. Uanfala (talk) 01:49, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Delete.I was thinking about prodding this, but I found enough hits on Google News that it seemed easier to let someone else deal with it. Since we're here, I went back and did more thorough searches. They do have a bit a coverage, it's true – but it seems to be mostly trivial mentions as a part of neo-Nazi activity in Bulgaria. A sample of what I've found: [2] from San Jose Mercury News (an AP story that was widely syndicated), [3] from USA Today (another AP story that was widely syndicated), and [4] from Sydney Morning Herald. There are a few more, but they're either even more trivial (names in a list of far-right parties), or they're syndicated AP content. I don't think there's really enough here, though I'm willing to reconsider. There are also some hits at Google Scholar, but I had a bit of trouble finding ones that weren't trivial mentions and gave up a bit quicker than usual. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:23, 11 February 2016 (UTC)- Ehh, I guess the rewrite is fine. Bulgarian editors say there's coverage, and so there probably is. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- I like Uanfala's suggestion to rewrite the lead and discard the propaganda which is likely a direct translation from the party website. The party is notable and is featured in national news in Bulgaria from time to time, mostly because of its extreme character rather than any significant public support. That international media have mentioned it is surprising to me, but it's an argument for keeping the article in some form nonetheless. — Toдor Boжinov — 08:26, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Well, if someone can write a sourced, neutral stub, then I guess that's fine. I did a few searches to find hits in Bulgaria, but my ability to do so and read them is obviously quite limited. Google Translate only takes you so far. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:07, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. I cleaned it up some. The party appears to be notable enough by our standards, if only because their antics get them in the news. Can't figure out if they're really Nazis or fascists. Drmies (talk) 20:53, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

- That AfD was not a keep close because of notability, there were significant concerns that there were simply too many lists for a reasonable outcome to be achieved and the nomination was withdrawn. The AfD noted in the withdrawal achieved a slight consensus that such lists are notable when the player is the country's all time leading scorer of is significantly notable in their own right. Fenix down (talk) 14:36, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - there is nothing inherently notable about scoring a goal at international level. This AfD achieved a slight consensus that players who are deemed "world-class" or who are their country's all time leading scorer are inherently notable for such lists. None of these players are.

- Weak keep, a quick Google search reveals significant coverage of the player from The Courier Mail, Sydney Morning Herald and Newcastle Herald. There are plenty of other trivial mentions in match reports and the like. While being aware of OTHERSTUFF, he is clearly more notable than a lot of the English footballers that have articles, so I'm leaning towards a keep.

I can't find any evidence that either language is known as "Bugi language." None of the sources at Nambo language or Agob language lists "Bugi" as an alternative name and my own search didn't turn up much. Unless there's something I'm missing, this should be deleted as misleading or incorrect. If they are valid alternative names, they need to be sourced at their respective articles (otherwise it's a violation of WP:DABMENTION), and then there's a pretty complicated web to unweave here. As it stands, this is an WP:INCOMPDAB and there isn't a Bugi (disambiguation) to merge this into.

- Bugi is an Agob village, like Dabu (another alt name). Chalmers e.g. wrote A Vocabulary of the Bugi Language, British New Guinea, J.A.I. Vol. 33, 1903, and there are other mentions, e.g. the report of a Cambridge expedition that speaks of "the Bangu, Dungerwab, Bugi, Dabu, and Kunini vocabularies". Then Kloss & McConnell in Composition Linguistique Des Nations Du Monde (p. 384) give Bugi as an alt name of Nambu. — kwami (talk) 22:46, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

- I second User:PamD's proposal to redirect to the new dab page. On a side note, although I agree in large part with the reasoning in the nomination, I don't think I see the relevance of WP:DABMENTION. Doesn't it only apply to items that appear within the target article (as subtopics or related items), rather that ones synonymous with the target, as in this case? Uanfala (talk) 14:30, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- If a term is synonymous with another one, there should be evidence for that synonym. Disambiguations don't use references, so the synonym should be cited in the article so we know there's evidence for it. "Bugi" isn't mentioned at either of those articles, so it shouldn't be mentioned in this disambiguation unless we can verify that, yes, "Bugi language" is another name for "Agob language" (which, from Kwamikagami's source, it seems to be a name for a village, not the language itself, but that's just my interpretation of it.) I see where your coming from, but I interpret topic as including synonyms, because the logic is the same. -- Tavix (talk) 16:36, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

- Evidence of the alternative name should be contained in the target page – I agree with that! But the rationale behind dabmention is helping readers, right? The relevant sentence is "If the title is not mentioned on the other article, that article should not be linked to in the disambiguation page, since linking to it would not help readers find information about the sought topic." If the target article has the same scope as the dab entry then readers definitely will find information on their topic. Anyway, it's not rare for a name of a settlement to be used as the name of the language of its inhabitants. That's the "Bugi language" of Chalmer's article that kwami cited.

- Comment - This list opens up a lot of links. Originally, this list was only created as a redirect 1, which itself was pointed to yet another redirect 2, which pointed to African-American music. It was changed to a stub
Black music is a term encompassing music produced or inspired by black people. In modern circles, this has come to usually refer to the great many music genres that have developed as a result of African American music.
Over the years, it has become a list which seems to gleen the contents from other articles, but has no sourcing whatsoever. Not everybody in the countries listed are black, or consider themselves black, and a lot of the music listed is not exclusively black or has evolved exclusively from so-called "black" culture. — Maile (talk) 21:55, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

I am tentatively in favor of keeping this article, though it definitely needs a ton of work. I did a google search and I found a few sources that describe distinctions between MOUs and MOAs. See, for example, this explanation from the US Army Corps of Engineers and this article from The Economic Times. I am open to changing my mind if someone show that MOUs and MOAs are, in fact, the same thing. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:50, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Follow-up comment: I am changing my vote to delete per TJRC's comments below. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:25, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. The article seems to be a combination of discussions of actually enforceable agreements, which is best handled in Contract; and the non-enforceable Memorandum of understanding, without the clarity of which of the two is being referring to in any particular part. Those two articles really handle everything in this article, which doesn't do a whole lot more than confuse the two.
- The US Army Corps of Engineers article cited above is distinguishing between an unenforceable MOU and an actual agreement, or contract; a memo of agreement, if drafted to be enforceable, is an agreement. The Economic Times is drawing a distinction between an unenforceable MOU and an enforceable agreement; not between an MOU and an MOA. TJRC (talk) 20:38, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- That was an excellent explanation, TJRC. I thought that MOUs and MOAs may be used differently within certain industry-specific circumstances, but I also recognize that no matter what you call an instrument, it can still have the power to bind parties if drafted correctly (or incorrectly, as the case may be). In any event, I am now convinced that there is no meaningful distinction between MOUs and MOAs, and I will change my vote accordingly. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:24, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

The primary reason for inclusion appears to be that he has written some film scores for rather obsure (mostly Italian) horror films.

There's a single Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno newspaper profile which I can't judge the weight of (User:Pizzole has given links to a cropped scan of a two-paragraph article purporting to be from the Gazzetta, uploaded to Scribd by "Antony Coia" on the same day that Pizzole added it as a reference to the article), and the rest of the sources are WP:NEWSPRIMARY interviews (with Coia, or with colleagues who mention him in passing), film credits pages, WHOIS website records, and articles which either briefly namecheck Coia or (in the case of some reviews) don't appear to mention him at all. The Italian Wikipedia project deleted Coia's article there last year. --McGeddon (talk) 17:07, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per McGeddon's argument and also due to the lack of hits in Google Books.

There are several passing mentions here, and a brief "local boy makes good" piece in a reputable but strictly regional newspaper, the Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, which covers Puglia and Basilicata. There's no in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. (Note to Shritwod: IMDb cannot anyway be treated as a reliable source for our purposes, per WP:RS/IMDB). Obviously, the relentless (self?)-promotion here does not help either. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:38, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Note La Gazzetta del mezzogiorno is not the only newspaper. There are sources from Il Secolo XIX and La Nuova Ferrara talking about Coia. There is Bloody Disgusting too.

Please stop talking about what you don't understand. You are wikipedian only.--Pizzole (talk) 18:45, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- The Il Secolo XIX article is a single paragraph about a website. The Bloody Disgusting blog post mentions "the italian composer Antony Coia" in passing as the organiser of an event, and was written by one of the jurors for that event so is not "independent of the subject". None of this is "significant coverage" of Coia as a person. --McGeddon (talk) 18:53, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

- Pizzole , if you're talking about going to the nominator's pages and editing them out of revenge, please be aware that this will be very poorly received and can end with you getting blocked from editing, possibly permanently. FWIW, I've heard of this composer but there just isn't a ton of coverage out there in reliable sources. It's difficult for most conductors to receive coverage and most only assert notability by way of the productions themselves being overwhelmingly notable - even then it is sometimes argued that the work's coverage must mention the soundtrack to some extent. Now for niche, indie horror composers, it's even more difficult to gain coverage, since indie horror productions tend to get fairly solidly ignored by what Wikipedia would consider to be reliable sources. This has the unfortunate side effect of most indie horror movies never gaining enough coverage to firmly pass notability guidelines as a whole. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:08, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

The result was delete. Those arguing to delete cited a number of issues. The most common complaints which could be traced directly back to policy included WP:BLP, WP:COAT, and WP:FORK. On the keep side, the most common argument was that this is well-sourced (which it does appear to be) and that it meets WP:GNG.
There's no particularly killer arguments on either side, so weight of opinion will rule the day here, with deletes outnumbering keeps by about a 2:1 margin.
As a purely administrative note, I'm concerned over what appears to have been a copy-paste fork of this into userspace. There was no reason to do that; I (and, I believe, any admin) would be happy to restore and userfy most deleted articles. The problem with the copy-paste is that it forks the edit history, and makes it very difficult to comply with our attribution requirements, should the userfied draft ever find its way back into mainspace. @BD2412:, I encourage you to delete your copy-paste version; upon request, I'll restore and userfy the current article -- RoySmith (talk) 00:56, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

The article is thoroughly sourced, and the specific topic is the specific focus of many of those sources. It is also a good outlet for the already lengthy Hillary Clinton article; rather than having this information crammed into a footnote and otherwise scattered throughout this article and a few others (like the Clinton e-mails article), keep it all in one place where those who are really interested in the subject can see it. bd2412 T 17:04, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

- Because any of those facts are worth singling out for mention in Wikipedia at all? Christ on a stick, I've occasionally used my middle initial in formal contexts where the use of a middle initial might be expected, without that fact meaning anything that would be worth mentioning in an encyclopedia article if I qualified for one — and the unflattering nicknames that my bullies or enemies might have called me behind my back (or to my face) wouldn't be worthy of note either.

- Keep. There are two relevant considerations with respect to this AfD: (1) Does this article pass WP:GNG and (2) does this article deserve its own page per WP:PAGEDECIDE. Here, the substantial coverage of this subject in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, NPR, and other sources (all of which are cited in the article) clearly satisfies WP:GNG's requirement for
"significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
Turning to whether this deserves a standalone article, WP:PAGEDECIDE specifically cautions against articles becoming"too unwieldy."
The article for Hillary Clinton is already very, very long and merging the entirety of this article would make it far more unwieldy and lengthy. I think a much better option would be to include a very brief summary of the contents of this article at Hillary Clinton and then direct readers here with {{see also}} or {{main article}}. Consequently, I think we should keep this as-is. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:34, 11 February 2016 (UTC) - Reluctant, annoyed keep.

- Delete Variations of a person's name should be discussed, briefly, in that person's biography. Creating a spinoff article about a woman's use or non-use of her maiden name, and then tossing in discussion of vile insults directed against her, is in my opinion also vile. I am not a Clinton supporter but this is inappropriate, in my opinion. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:47, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Per WP:BLP, "If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented" then it's valid encyclopedic content. Derogatory names for Clinton may be well-documented, and may be relevant to the scope of this article, but noteworthy? Noteworthiness seems kind of subjective, and to me it's more than adequate to note that she has been called a lot of names, without doing the name-callers the honor of repeating their masterpieces.Anythingyouwant (talk) 07:09, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Cullen328 and Anythingyouwant:, since your primary objection here seems to revolve around the documentation of derogatory nicknames, I have removed these. This still leaves, however, a thoroughly well-sourced 10,000 byte article. bd2412 T 12:39, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- My primary objection is to the strange notion that a woman's use or non-use of her maiden name or married name ought to be the subject of a freestanding encyclopedia article. My objection stands, though I am glad that the cheap shot insults have been removed. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 09:16, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- I appreciate the removal of the derogatory names, thanks. The strongest argument for this article is that it would allow removal of some stuff from the main Hillary Clinton article, which is way too big (or "badly bloated" as I like to say). So, it seems to me that the main problem with this proposed article is that the scope is too narrow, and therefore would only allow a little bit of stuff to be removed from the main HRC article. I hope that some thought will be given to broadening this article's scope in some way (maybe "Personal characteristics of Hillary Clinton" or something like that). As it is, an article about her names alone just seems too narrow.Anythingyouwant (talk) 05:04, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. One, I don't think there is a problem needing fixing here. Longish notes are a feature of scholarly writing, and with WP's technology notes appear to the reader as mouse-over tooltips when reading the text – there is no need to click away and then click back and find your place in the text, as there is with a separate article. Two, I've looked at a bunch of "Names of ..." articles, and I find no precedent for this one. They are usually about scientific naming conventions, or different names for deities, or naming controversies based on national identities. I don't think a woman who has used different forms of her name after marriage – which is not that unusual – is really sufficient to create a new precedent. Three, the new "Nicknames" section is just an invitation for trouble, and its use of Edward Klein as a source is alarming. Klein is so vile that even many professional Hillary-haters have distanced themselves from him. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:21, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:BLP frankly WP:COAT. The fact that the article creator, an administrator, thought that we should have an article to devoted to trivial modifications to a name and such nuggets as someone, sometime, calling her "Hitlery" -- get it? -- is gobsmacking. Hasn't she also been called "that bitch" or "cunt" -- how did we miss that? It's forever going to be a POV magnet, and anything truly noteworthy about changes in her name should be briefly summarized in her bio article. And as noted above, there's nothing particularly unusual about women modifying their names after marriage -- or people in public life doing so, in general. Wikipedia is being used for WP:SYNTH here, to try to create a false impression that there is a notable subject here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:10, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- "Hitlery" is no longer in the article. In fact, it was removed from the article, along with all of the derogatory nicknames, several hours before you wrote this. WP:SYNTH says: "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources"; in this case, the propositions set forth in the article are explicitly stated, by multiple of the sources. bd2412 T 15:34, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Mentioning her Secret Service name is just a pathetic attempt to legitimize this nonsense. And this article will surely become a shit magnet for every unpleasant term Clinton is called in the future. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:41, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Is there sexism inherent in every journalist, male or female, who discusses this? bd2412 T 16:17, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yes. It is sexist to discuss the use of a woman's maiden name. It is more than adequately covered in Hillary Clinton and there is no need for a whole article on the matter. Also, you don't need to reply to every single comment you disagree with. This is a common problem with you. -- Scjessey (talk) 16:52, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

- Well and the article creator will contest that SYNTH applies, as he did with me. But then WP:NOT#JOURNALISM isn't something fixable, either. Once the attack stuff has been removed -- if only for the moment -- does a handful of articles about variations in her name mean that we need a fork about those variations?

- keep WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST but there are numerous WP:RS who are discussing this topic. It passes WP:GNG on its own even if Hillary wasn't herself notable.

- Making her different from several million other women in the world...how, exactly?

(One was tried. It got canned.) Bearcat (talk) 09:05, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- Agree with Bearcat. And artists often change names too – think of Prince (musician), who has a birth name, a stage name, an unpronounceable symbol, a formerly known as stage name, and a half-dozen aliases and pseudonyms, all of which has gotten more publicity than the HR/HRC/HC variations. That doesn't mean that having a separate Names of Prince (musician) article makes sense. The main biographical article is the natural place to describe any changes in the name of the biographical subject. Wasted Time R (talk) 14:46, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Redirect to where this is at issue in Hillary Clintonsince apparently it is a thing some seek information on (and consequently some write articles about). Merge what isn't already there.

There are any number of details about her life -- as with other celebrities' lives -- that one could write about, but, again, that there are sources about an aspect of someone's life doesn't necessarily mean it should have a stand-alone article. That the article is very long is not a strong argument to me in this case, as all that means is a very long section about her names is simply WP:UNDUE. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:47, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Delete. Redirect to List of The Howard Stern Show staff. Thank you User:Finngall for finding this process and making it possible to discuss this subject. User:Megalibrarygirl is correct this was a defective nomination with no apparent WP:BEFORE. She's also quite correct that, given the defective nom, contributors to this process should feel obliged to give reasons for their assertion based on policy and sourcing. For my part, I'm not overly impressed with the sourcing to date. The MTV and Classicalite links seem to meet RS, but to my eye they appear to be routine entertainment news. Based on a reasonable search, the subject doesn't seem to meet WP:BASIC or WP:ENTERTAINER, at least not sufficiently for a BLP. I'd be willing to re-evaluate if better sources are shown. BusterD (talk) 03:28, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you, BusterD for the thoughtful response! I'm on the fence myself. The MTV sources seem good, especially since they are primarily about her. However, the other sources don't lend to her passing GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:13, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- I took a second longer look, and I'm not seeing anything else. Using Newspapers.com, I did find one Asbury Park newspaper article which covers some of her 2008 cavorting (behind an additional paywall that even my own normal account can't access), but IMHO there's just not enough upon which to base a BLP. The Maddow transcript doesn't even mention the subject's name; the classicalite link is way tabloid. Aside from the MTV links which do directly detail the subject, I don't think there's enough to meet notability. The most inclusive thing I would agree to at this time is redirect or merge to List of The Howard Stern Show staff. Changing my assertion above; redirects are cheap. If the outcome of this process is that the article is deleted, I will redirect myself. BusterD (talk) 19:06, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep, tentatively pending some general discussion, or merge to a suitable list-article. Note there are more than 40 restaurants in the chain, as can be found by Google map search or by zooming out from the restaurant chain's locations webpage. And the chain is primarily French-speaking apparently, and coverage of it will be mostly in French language publications which tends to be less easy for us to find and interpret. I appreciate the nom's implied assertion that they looked for sources, but I expect that we just haven't found sources that do exist.
- What is notability for restaurants is a big unsettled issue I believe, where I think a clear standard (like the standard allowing high schools where existence is documented) is needed. For example a restaurant chain having 20 or more branches should be presumed notable, I suggest.
- Note many American restaurants with just one or two branches already have articles; I believe that non-American and especially non-English-speaking chains should have roughly equal standards. A chain of this size (>40) in the United States would have no problem being accepted as obviously notable.
- In general the situation of new editors creating articles only to have them deleted by AFD as here, for vague reasons, is bad...it turns off potential good contributors. So there should be leeway given, if this is a new contributor (but I see that is not the case, this was created in 2010 by an editor who eventually was banned, in 2013).
- Elsewhere (at Talk:List of pizza chains of the United States (where I mention this AFD), I propose a standard that a chain of 10 or more should generally be deemed notable for inclusion as an item on that list. The same reasoning applies here about separate article notability: a chain of more than 40 restaurants as here surely has coverage existing (though not yet presented), and this article should be kept.
- If the decision were nonetheless going towards deletion, then merger/redirect to a suitable list-article that can include this chain as a list item would be better. That would be List of Canadian restaurant chains, which by the way includes an item with no footnote and just 12 outlets (Vern's Pizza), and an item with 25 outlets supported only by footnote to the chain's own webpage (Mr. Mike's). Actually merge/redirect to there would be okay by me as a quick resolution, leaving proof of sources until later, when the redirect could be restored to be an article with its edit history intact.

- Delete I appreciate Doncram's logic, but we can't keep an article because we think there might be sources that we can't find. As of now, searching for sources has turned up nothing significant. As for inclusion in a list article, I don't think we should include something in a list that isn't notable enough for its own article.

- Delete the article seems to be built from the four books listed in the bibliography section. But when I searched those books, Tucker's name only comes up, at most, four or five times in each of them, which I would characterize as a trivial mention. The only other mention I turned up online is the Times-Picayune article, which isn't about him, but is about Tucker's daughter. Tucker himself only merits a mention early on. I don't think there is anything in here to suggest any particular notability - he seems to have been a mildly successful businessman who was involved in the community - nor is there enough reliable sources to create a page.

Not finding significant coverage of the novel in anything but blog posts. Would welcome an attempt to rescue -- but not seeing a good way to do that. Sadads (talk) 23:15, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Likely Keep: It's almost certain to meet WP:BKCRIT#1. It was apparently a NYT Bestseller, and as a relatively WP:OLDBOOK (1989) that has had at least 30 editions (including many foreign translations), lack of visible RS English-language reviews doesn't mean no RS reviews. Blurb snippets quote Affaire de Coire magazine ("Wonderful!... Judith McNaight is truly the spellbinding storyteller of our times.") as well as something named Rendezvous ("one of the best ever"). Romantic Times gives it 5 stars. Additionally an independent blogpost from a sufficiently notable author or reviewer should still be considered reliable as a source of professional opinion against BKCRIT#1, for instance Sarah MacLean's post. ~~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~~ 11:01, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete unless more can be done to establish notablity. If there are sources which show it to be a bestseller, add them. I don't think WP:OLDBOOK applies to a work as recent as this. Although this may not strictly be relevant to its notability, the article makes it sound like a load of hokum, it's not clear which English invasion of Scotland it is set during, it can't be set in the Wars of Scottish Independence if King Henry VII of England is a minor character. PatGallacher (talk) 14:15, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- 'Comment Per PatGallacher, I am not completely convinced of OLDBOOK: 1989 isn't fully in the digital blackhole of internet coverage for sources. I tossed this article out there, because we need the sourcing to be integrated. @Hydronium Hydroxide: integrate what you find, and we can see who else scrapes together sourcing.

- Comment: I found the NYT list mention and the RT review would count as usable. This is a good start, but I'd like to see at least 1-2 more sources before this would really be a keep on my end. Redirecting is likely the best outcome here, since that would make it easier to restore if more sources can be found. It seems like there should be more sources out there, but this is never a guarantee, especially as during this time period romances tended to get passed over for review and in-depth coverage because they were seen as "silly" or "frivolous". (This actually still happens nowadays...) As for the blurbs from other places, we'd have to see the review in question to make sure that the review is usable, because sometimes a blurb is just a promotional blurb written specifically for the book jacket. It looks unlikely in this case that it's just a blurb, but we still need to be able to verify this. Now when it comes to author reviews, that's tricky since we need to be able to make sure that there's no connection between the two (ie, friends or they share an agent or publisher). If we can show that there's no strong connection, then I'd consider her a RS in this situation, given the amount of awards and other accolades she's received and that the review is a review and not just a blurb. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:15, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- McNaught's publisher for the Westmoreland Saga is Pocket (Simon and Schuster) while MacLean is Avon (HarperCollins). Showing that there's no strong connection is kinda proving a negative, but MacLean also credits McNaught (but not KOD) here, her list of faves are here, and a quick search of their names together doesn't throw up any flags. As an additional source, Romance: The History of a Genre from Dana Percec (a Dean at West University of Timișoara) includes a lot on KOD including (titter ye not) "Table 1-4: Features of the sex scenes in Judith McNaught's A Kingdom of Dreams". ~~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~~ 13:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Two other author sources: Elle Daniels (not NYT bestseller but published by Forever=Hachette), and this interview with NYT bestseller Tanya Anne Crosby who's primarily with Avon (authorsinterviews appears reliable for the purpose). ~~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~~ 14:09, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment, Buffalo library lists a short review by the School Library Journal here - [6] - "Judith McNaught, now best known for her soft romantic suspense, created an iconic dynasty in the romance genre. While the Westmore-lands were featured in only three historicals, the family's impact in romance fan circles was huge. Set in the 15th century, Kingdom of Dreams .., the first book in the series, is filled with McNaught's trademark mix of lush romance and horrible conflict." so it may just squeak over (or to be more romantic, soar majestically:)) over the notablitiy line?

Insufficient notability for this project, fails WP:ARTIST. Article created by an indef-blocked editor with a history of fabrication and suspected hoaxes (see, e.g., this and this). The two sources in the article do not have any relevance whatsoever to this person (they are about Carlo Carrà and Francesco Hayez respectively); the references were copied from Brera Academy, where they were originally added by me with this edit in 2014.
Carcupino wrote and illustrated a cartoon in Sgt. Kirk in 1969. He gets one hit on Scholar (a passing mention in a bachelor's-level thesis), 0 hits on JSTOR, is not in Grove Art or Benezit. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:10, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Keep There are a lot of books, albeit not in English. This is a case of systemic language bias, and one of GIGO. If you search the books in other languages your notability concerns will be assuaged. WP:Before seems to cover this. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:56, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- No, 7&6=thirteen, this is not a case of WP:Before, and your accusation of systemic language bias is close to being offensive. Obviously I reviewed the few gbooks sources (they're mostly the same as those in the bibliography of the article) before nominating this and, as you can see, reported in my nomination the only remotely notable fact I found in them (a story in Sgt. Kirk). I didn't trouble to report, for example, that between the ages of 14 and 17 Carcupino participated as an avanguardista (a kind of Young Fascist) in a plastic modelling competition reserved for students of Istituti d'Arte and Accademie di Belle Arti. He appears to have been, as the Romanian source says, one of the Gruppo di Venezia, the (fairly large) group of draughtsmen around Hugo Pratt. So please, tell me this: which of the statements in the article are substantiated by the many sources you found? In how many of those sources did you find in-depth coverage of this person, his life and his work? Did you find the two references in the article at all useful in establishing his notability? Or would you care to revise your comment? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Not an accusation. Sorry that you took it as such. I simply have a concern that we are looking at English language sources, and that is a systemic bias. If you don't input the right name in the right language and format, it is easily possible we are missing sources that could develop the article. Indeed, there are lots of sources already listed, although I observe that the in line citations here are dismally bad (i.e., absence, poorly formatted). I note that when one clicks on "Books" in the listing there are several listed. Unfortunately, text seems largely unavailable.

The result was delete. I'm afraid I discounted the !vote by User:AugustinMa as their argument did not address how the article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. I also discounted the !vote by User:SwisterTwister because WP:CREATIVE is not relevant here, rather WP:NACTOR is.

- Delete. I'm just not seeing the notability here. Even if we look at the credits list at Imdb, we don't see much evidence of "prominent" roles. Two of the three films mentioned in her Imdb biography don't have her listed on the posters for those films, so even the producers of those films didn't think her roles were significant. The one exception is for The Golden Veil, for which she is also credited as an associate producer (which suggests that she got her starring role because she helped finance the film). In any event, it isn't a notable film. In addition, there has been a multiple-issues banner on the article for almost four years. I see no plausible prospect for any improvement.

The term is used often enough in Indian newspapers that readers may be led to look it up on Wikipedia. The article has some encyclopaedic value, being more than a dicdef. It would not be so appropriate to cover this in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh since it is used by other organistions as well; the article names Vishva Hindu Parishad as one, and the movement with which this term is associated, Hindutva, is (according to that article) the official ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Without waxing too much, we have numerous articles on significantly more obscure figures in the programming language community that have handily survived AfD, like Mark Jason Dominus or Audrey Tang. The previous AfD resulted in some good RSs that mentioned him and his work by name. It's easy to check the German media and find lots more commentary on his activities as a researcher and educator, for example the national daily Die Welt and the Lübecker Nachrichten both have articles on Tantau's educational program at Lubeck.

- Delete. Most of the sources are just tangential references to a LaTeX package that he wrote. The package may be notable, but that doesn't make the creator notable when they are just mentioned as the author and nothing more. The sources of him being noted in the German media are just one-liners of him making a comment on a course. Nothing that contributes to the subject's own notability. Kingofaces43 (talk) 03:32, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- That is incorrect. The articles are not "one-liners of him making a comment on a course". Rather, they are about educational programs of which he is the director that have won large funding grants, which is noteworthy in Germany. Coverage of such notable activities/results/developments render the person responsible for those things notable per se. (If you doubt this, then do a little thought experiment: WP:PROF c1, undoubtedly the most frequently-used notability criterion for academics, works on the principle that a person's work is noted/cited, not the person herself. In fact, in the vast majority of cases, i.e. article stubs, there is no standalone, published biographical material whatsoever of the person. Under your philosophy then, citations would still not be enough to demonstrate notability. But, in all cases where there is a sufficient "citation" collection of sources, the article is kept.) Further, Tantau's educational programs are covered in high-level secondary sources. For example, Die Welt is a national daily, akin to something like USA Today or WSJ in the USA. I can't help but to illustrate the difference in sources for Tantau versus some of the other obscure CS language bios mentioned above that have handily survived AfDs. Agricola44 (talk) 15:01, 10 February 2016 (UTC).
- The distinction that needs to be made is whether the subject's work on the subject is notable, or if it's the subject's involvement in the work is notable. This subject is covered as being involved in some notable topics, but it is more passing mention rather than a focus on the subject. Until the notability shifts to the BLP itself, it's best to just mention Tantau where relevant under WP:DUE in articles on LaTeX, etc. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:12, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Again, it is not the nature of the mention here that matters. It is the fact that national-level secondary sources discuss educational programs implemented/led by Tantau in detail (explicitly acknowledging his role). These are gigantic "citations of his work", if you like. At the very least, these sources render him notable under GNG. Agricola44 (talk) 17:54, 10 February 2016 (UTC).
- The sources would need to demonstrate what you claim. Right now, Tantau only gets tangential mention at best in the currently used sources, which is far for gigantic citations of his work. Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. It has been established over many AfDs that the CBE is sufficient to meet WP:ANYBIO #1. If he was considered notable enough to be awarded a high honour by the British state then he is certainly notable enough for lowly old Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Before Anybio it does say "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included".

Minimally sourced WP:BLP, with definite public relations/advertorial overtones, of a person notable primarily as a county police chief. While the county in question is large enough, and near enough to a major metropolitan media market, that he might be reliably sourceable enough to satisfy WP:GNG, local chief of police is not a position that entitles a person to an inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because they exist — and a single source doesn't get him over the bar. Delete, unless somebody can source him a lot better than this. Bearcat (talk) 02:53, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This is St Louis County, population over one million. the area surrounding the city. The police chief of that city would be notable, and so is he. DGG ( talk ) 01:41, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- If the article were sourced and written properly, I'd have left this alone. But "chief of an exuburban police force near a major metropolitan city" is not, in and of itself, a claim of notability that entitles a person to a presumption of notability on an article that's written and sourced like this — it would be enough get a person into Wikipedia if the sourcing and substance were already there, but it's not enough to make him an automatic keep regardless of article quality.

- Keep. Heads of police departments of major cities appears to meet notability requirements. There's even a category for St. Louis Police Department Chiefs, so Belmar's article is far from an anomaly. (I'm not arguing WP:WAX; I'm pointing out that that category, and this one, in which it is nested, suggests a consensus that the occupant of this position is notable by virtue of the position.) Needs cleanup, better referencing and additional categorization, but that's not an issue for AFD. TJRC (talk) 22:30, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Except he's not the chief of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department — he's the chief of the separate, suburban St. Louis County Police Department. Which means that he's got a lot less claim to an automatic presumption of notability than his big-city neighbours do — he could be kept if the article were sourced a lot better than this, but he doesn't get an automatic "because he exists" freebie just because some the chiefs of the next police department over from his have articles (most of which are actually sourced so badly that in reality they're probably deletion candidates too.)

- Keep. Chief of a police department with over 800 officers policing a population of over 1 million. That meets my notability standards per common sense. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:41, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Common sense does not trump the lack of sufficient reliable sourcing to meet WP:GNG, especially in a WP:BLP. And at any rate, my definition of common sense (at least as it pertains to Wikipedia) includes being conscious of the fact that a Wikipedia article can be tilted far too strongly in a public relations/advertorial direction (as this is) and/or far too strongly in an attack-page direction (as this could very easily be rewritten to become, if it isn't generating enough "good editor" traffic to control for that), and that RS coverage is our only mechanism for keeping an article on its moorings. And my definition of common sense includes the fact that a deleted article can be recreated again in the future if somebody can do a better job than the deleted version. So my common sense doesn't permit anybody to keep an article that's written and sourced like this, because deleting this now is not making it impossible for somebody to do better in the future if better can be done.

Keep A short look at google reveals: I found at least two printed publications mentioning Philip Price: Dungeons and Desktops: The History of Computer Role-Playing Games (Matt Barton, ISBN 978-1568814117) and Vintage Game Consoles: An Inside Look at Apple, Atari, Commodore, Nintendo (Bill Loguidice, Matt Barton, ISBN 978-0415856003). There are several magazines from the 80s dealing with his game(s), too: “it [Alternate Reality] has been a smash hit over in the states” (ZZAP! 64, May 1986, p 75) So I'd say, Philip Price is indeed relevant. I am pretty sure there are many more pubs even in the academic world. Knurrikowski (talk) 08:48, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Let's let the secondary sources decide how independently notable Price is from the game itself. Dungeons & Desktops is a passing mention (nothing in depth that adds anything about the author's life, work, or importance, and certainly nothing we can use to write a full article), and the same for your other source. The Zzap source is about the game, not the developer. In fact all of the mentions are more about the game than the individual, and thus are better sources for the game than the individual. czar 12:51, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- In German Wikipedia a game author (=Philip Price) is relevant if at least one of his games is relevant. Clearly, the game Alternate Reality - The City is relevant (bestseller in the US) and so Philip Price is. In this case relevance has nothing to do with the quality of the sources on the subject. What says English Wikipedia about game authors? Besides that, the current article has sources - not the best though - but is has some. What's wrong with the interview about Price's life, for example? The article should be kept. Knurrikowski (talk) 15:14, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Sigcov, as a low bar subject to interpretation, is somewhere between three and five in-depth, reliable sources (as in enough content to write a substantial article on the subject). This list of vetted video games sources is a good place to start. If the interview isn't published by a reliable, secondary source, we can potentially use it within the self-published source about self guidelines, but we don't use it as an indicator of external notability (for obvious reasons—anyone can publish an interview on anyone). czar 23:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

This article flunks the notability test; there is no mention in reliable secondary sources at all. In addition, the award appears to be a long-dead project. Both of the links in References are dead; the award website (http://www.gannonaward.org/) appears to have been repurposed by an unrelated law firm; and the Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/gannonaward) has been abandoned for the last four years. Spectra239 (talk) 02:10, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Despite notability not being temporary, I don't think the award was ever notable. The second (dead) source can be found here now, but it's a primary source as it is published by the institution of a recipient. There are some trivial mentions of the award, but all in the Nick Bostrom context. Bottom line, there are no independent reliable sources about the award itself, and as such it is not notable per WP:GNG. The award does not need to be the primary topic, but the mentions are clearly not significant enough even for that standard. There is no detailed information at all in RS, and there would be insufficient material to write a useful article without the award's background, founders, their motivations, the full list of recipients, etc. I can't see any article to redirect this to either.
