Revenge (Madonna song)

Fails to reach notability per WP:MUSIC / WP:NSONGS. Delete Paul75 (talk) 01:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete, of course, per WP:CRYSTAL. Bsimmons666 (talk) 00:30, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete Unless someone can find verifiable evidence that the leaked demo received truly significant notability, which isn't sourced at all in the entire article. Master&Expert (Talk) 00:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete The article itself sums it up rather nicely: "Revenge" is an unreleased demo. PHARMBOY (TALK) 00:42, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete per Pharmboy, this is non-notable vaporware. JBsupreme (talk) 02:35, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Burns, White & Hickton

Nothing in this article really indicates to me that the law firm is notable by Wikipedia standards. The awards won ("Best Lawyers in America" and "Super Lawyer") were won by individual employees and not the firm itself. Besides which, is that a significant number of honours for a law firm? Contested prod.... discospinster _talk 00:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete Without citations in secondary sources, the firm fails Wikipedia:Notability. The awards mentioned do not confer notability - they only indicate which lawyers are viewed favorably by others in the profession. --Megaboz (talk) 03:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

"Delete"" In my opinion this article does not meet wikipedias standards

DeleteThe article reads like an advert. This is an article about a law firm, per Discospinster's nom, individual awards do not necessarily indicate a law firms notability.— Ѕandahl ♥ 00:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete--indeed, not notable, and the author's reason for inclusion (that it was a school assignment) has no weight. Drmies (talk) 04:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Lahing Kayumanggi Dance Company

I couldn't find anything online to confirm the notability of this dance group. Appears to fail WP:ORG. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:28, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete per lack of Wikipedia:Reliable sources. A Google News archive search returns no results. And a Google search only returns results from websites advertising this company's services. Article is written as an advertisement and seems to be a copyright violation as well. Furthermore, the article says that the company has 45 members — that's not enough to establish notability.

19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England's Unbeatable Patriots

Unnotable book as it hasn't been released. ~~Possible hoax.~~ Tavix (talk) 00:20, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Keep. Significant coverage online, definitely not a hoax - see [1], article by the AP. 180 articles on google [2] for the book name in quotes -wiki. Meets WP:BK per criteria #1.Bsimmons666 (talk) 00:39, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Comment This is not a hoax. There are even screenshots of the book's cover on Google Search. This is simply an inevitable consequence of the long lead time on publishing, so in this case the publisher gambled (and lost) on a book that seemed reasonable at the time but sounds ridiculous in retrospect. *** Crotalus *** 00:39, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Keep There's a category for canceled books, and this is in it. Major publisher; major anticipated event. 00:40, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Comment I made a typo when I searched, that's why I wasn't getting anything. Sorry about the hoax comment. Tavix (talk) 00:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Merge to an article on the Patriots, or that football season or Super Bowl. It is a fun trivia item but not important enough for its own article. Once you get to the punchline (the Pats lost and the book was cancelled) there is nothing more to say. Besides, more people will read it if merged with a major article. Redddogg (talk) 05:40, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Merge with the Patriots article and add third-party sources. It's an interesting bit of trivia that doesn't warrant its own article. sixtynine ^{• speak, I say •} 20:09, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Keep — There's enough significant coverage of this never-released-because-someone-choked book in the Google search above. Remember, Reebok made two different "Perfectville (Pop. 1)" commercials to air right after Super Bowl XLII. MuZemike (talk) 20:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

That should also be mentioned in the article on the game. It is not important enough for its own article, same as this. Redddogg (talk) 13:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Calculating Visions: Kennedy, Johnson, and Civil Rights

Article does not assert notability. Canis Lupus 20:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Delete. The book has been used as a source for later books on Kennedy and Johnson, but I am unable to find any sources discussing the book itself. If those sources could be found, I think the article would be very appropriate. Until then, however, it is essentially OR. Karanacs (talk) 15:57, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete as an unnotable book with no reliable sources that I could find. Tavix (talk) 00:17, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Literature-related deletion discussions. -- TwentiethApril1986 (want to talk?) 01:30, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Tony Huynh

I don't see how this person is notable. In the lead section it says "He is known for posting his thoughts on different subjects to YouTube with his own style of comedy and farce." I hardly think that justifies having a Wikipedia page. Pretty much all of the references are YouTube links and the NY TImes link just mention his name because he won a YouTube award, again, he shouldn't have a page because of this minor mention. TwentiethApril1986 (want to talk?) 00:12, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete I have already had to delete 3 of the sources in the lead, as the articles did not mention him. After searching for sources myself, I can only conclude the individual is not as independently notable as the article would try to have you believe. It appears to be pretty much shameless promotion. How it has lasted this long is beyond me. Claims Youtube awards started in 2007, yet the article about the awards says 2006, etc. etc. etc. PHARMBOY (TALK) 00:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete insufficiently notable. JJL (talk) 01:13, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete. Clearly a non-notable Youtube "celebrity" who lacks the required non-trivial coverage to warrant a WP:BLP article. JBsupreme (talk) 02:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete Not sure really if one could become notable through posting videos on YouTube, but this guy surely hasn't — note that there are several non-YTube references, but they don't appear significant or reliable enough to confer notability. Nyttend (talk) 03:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete. Unfortunately, Nyttend, you are wrong--just see Chris Crocker. But this person is not even Chris Crocker. Drmies (talk) 04:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete per above. Youtube views alone do not establish notability. Themfromspace (talk) 06:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Delete, doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. If kept, most of the Youtube links will have to go as violations of WP:EL. Stifle (talk) 11:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Snowball delete not even close. No real sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 15:12, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

-Creighton School was founded in Omaha, Nebraska in [[1878]], later separating into ''Creighton Prep'' and [[Creighton University]]. The school was named after [[Edward Creighton]], an Omaha businessman whose wife, [[Mary Lucretia Creighton|Mary Lucretia]], left their fortune to the [[Roman Catholic]] [[Bishop]] to build a school for boys. At that time, the school was given to the Society of Jesus, known more commonly as the Jesuits. The initial enrollment was 120 students.

-In 2004, the Catholic High School Honor Roll announced the selection of Creighton Preparatory School as one of the most prestigious 50 Catholic secondary schools in America[http://www.chshonor.org/media/2004-10-31_Saunders.pdf].  The school is an Omaha leader in both academics and athletics.  Its football team has won 27 state Class A titles (the first in 1932 and the last in 2004).  In addition, its Academic Decathlon team is a regular contender for the national championship. The Science Bowl Team is currently state champion (2007).  In addition, the Concert Band is regarded highly in the state, having received a "Superior" rating at the District Music Contest in 1982, 1984, and every year from 1987 to present day. The band fills many All-State band chairs each year.
