- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was Speedily deleted by Stwalkerster. Non-admin closure. TN‑X-Man 22:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Michael Palao
- Michael Palao (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Speedy tag contested by an IP, with the edit summary "its been up and fine for nearly 4 hours so why is there a need for a speedy deletion?". Article is about a professor that does not show why he is notable. No sources provided, none found. TN‑X-Man 20:46, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy delete, fails WP:PROF. A Google News Archive search returns two results that do not pertain to this individual. Google has barely heard of this individual. The article does not assert any notability and there are no reliable sources to be found, so I'm tagging re-tagging the article for speedy deletion. Cunard (talk) 21:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete per above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banime (talk • contribs) 21:16, 10 October 2008 UTC
- delete the page then i've had enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by One Gig Of Ram (talk • contribs) 21:34, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Pity As I wanted to ;earn if this was THIS Mike Paolo: "Palao, Mike 1976, "Dominic James 'Nick' LaRocca. Dixieland Jazz Pioneer." Reprinted from Italian-American Digest, March." Now that the article has been speedied... and the author gone and unhappy.... I may never know. Pity that more newcomers don't understand better about their user space. A quck tag and faster deletion must be quite disconcerting. Was there really such a rush? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 21:42, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- No, it wasn't that Mike Palao. The article was about a teacher who began teaching at his local high school in 2002. He had no other accomplishments so that's zero notability. Cunard (talk) 21:52, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Can the admin who closes this AfD take a look at the deleted contents to make sure that "Michael Palao" is indeed a high school teacher who is non-notable and does not meet CSD#A7, in case I've confused this individual with someone else? Cunard (talk) 22:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Paco Zamora
- Paco Zamora (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Previously PRODed, so AFD is the correct venue. I have not been able to locate any evidence that he meets WP:ENTERTAINER (there would be at least a few sources if he has "a large fan base or a significant "cult" following" or "made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment") or the primary criteria at WP:N in that there are not enough reliable sources to write a fair and balanced article on him with verifiable information. I am open to having my mind changed on this article, particularly as there is a potential for a language/resource barrier. As it stands, however, it does not appear to meet the WP:N standard (non-trivial coverage in multiple, reliable, third party sources) and nothing aside from a list of his films can be verified about him.
I do realize that Google searching turns up results, but few of them actually relate to this individual. If there was a little more information than just a copy of his IMDB profile, I might support a merge to Cinema of the Philippines but, as it stands now, that would be kind of pointless. Cheers, CP 20:31, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- SPEEDY DELETE This man is a contemporary of Oscar del Rosario (see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Óscar del Rosario), and like del Rosario, he was born in 1905, entered films back before "talkies", survived the Japanesse Occupation of the Phillipines, and created a film career among the grief of war. His early film career will be impossible to source as almost all such hardcopy verifications were destoyed during that occupation. What records of his existance survive that pre-1945 time are based only upon those evidences that existed and survived outside the Philipines. The Oscar del Rosario article was cut/pasted from WikiPilipinas. The Paco Zamora article is a cut/paste as well. Though there is apparently less concern at WikipiliPinas for sourcing... that is no excuse to move those articles over here without consideration of sources. There could be sources in Tagalog... but why bring it here? There should be no time wasted in discussions at AfD... as this is indentical situation in all but name to the deletion of Óscar del Rosario and will suffer the same fate. I admire these men and what they endured. Pity that Wikipedia will not be part of their legacy. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:01, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Verifiability#Non-English sources - Tagalog sources would be acceptable if English ones can't be found. the wub "?!" 11:33, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- So okay.. where are the Tagolog-reading editors? A little help... ? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Philippines-related deletion discussions. -- the wub "?!" 11:33, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment WikiPilipinas copied its articles from Wikipedia under GFDL. It would be a bad idea to source an article using WikiPilipinas alone. --Lenticel (talk) 15:18, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- I agree and that's why I said Speedy. If its there... fine... their choice. If its here, sources have been lost to time and war... and although one can claim notability is not temporary, and although this person may have goten a great deal of press back before WW2... such sources are difficult, if not impossible, to find in English... cannot now be shown to have existed (although logic would dictate they once did) and the article cannot stay on Wiki English with only an AGF that sources might have once existed. And I'll double-check the article dates to see just who coppied from whom. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- And yes... the various articles on Filipino actors/directors have been here since 2006 and were cut/pasted to WikiPilipinas in 2007. At least the Paco Zamora article will survive there when it gets deleted here, as there is a pride there in the accomplishments of one's fellow citizens surviving great hardship that give make it for them worth including. Wikipedia encourages WP:IAR, and even grants that in some cases exceptions may be made in the guidelines for the further improving of Wiki... but I do not think this will survive the AfD... no more than did the article on Oscar del Rosario. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as failing verifiability. If sources exist, then it can be recreated, but wikipedia isn't a memorial for alleged war survivors who allegedly made some films. Being in a war does not make one inherently notable, or most of the worlds population could have articles; sources are needed here the same as all other articles, especially controversial biographies.Yobmod (talk) 16:46, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I think there need to be more articles on sidemen because they are the ones that make the big stars sound good and nobody ever knows who they are unless you can read about them somewhere."

- Fix article and restart AFD Something has messed up the article so the references are hidden, but, they're there - edit it and you see them. I wasn't able to fix it, maybe an admin must do it. Till then anyone who claims it is unreferenced should be disregarded, since, the references are present but not showing up properly.

- Comment interesting, i didnt realise usenet was viewed so poorly. before there was a wikipedia or even a www thoughtful people such as yourselves :) used to hang out there. indeed wikipedia is absolutely dripping with usenet/unix/c/hacker culture. but anyway i digress, i only wish to address the idea that DS9K is only a joke term, sure theres some humour there but it addresses a real issue, which is that newbie c programmers are often completely thrown by the idea that there is something undefined within the language (the infamous 'i = i++;' statement [11]) it just doesnt fit their (newbie) worldview, they're used to the idea that they have complete control of the operating system and the language. so to get across the idea that sometimes they dont, they really really dont, takes a little exaggeration. finally, as to 'Anyone can write anything on usenet', sure, anyone can write anything here too, it gets corrected tho, and its the same with groups such as comp.lang.c. cheers Mission Fleg (talk) 04:02, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- We aready have an article on Undefined behavior, so this argument is only realy a case for retaining the term as a protected (i.e. not expandable into an article) redirect to act as a search term. MickMacNee (talk) 14:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Also, maybe wikipedia does have elements of usenet because people can technically write anything, however, that's why we don't use wikis or wikipedia itself as a reliable source to reference articles. Sticky Parkin 15:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Non-notable figure skater, fails WP:V. At age 15, she's never even competed in senior nationals, which means she fails the WP:ATHLETE criterion of competing at the "highest level of amateur sport." With only 24 unique G-hits [13], almost exclusively Wiki mirrors and figure skating websites, there are no reliable sources evident that would fulfill the general notability criteria. Prod removed by creator without comment. RGTraynor 16:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

- Response: The first article is two paragraphs long. The second is an article on that particular competition; Hoffmann is not the subject. The third is an article on a show by a local ice skating club, and Hoffman's sole presence in the article is that the photo accompanying it has her in it. The final link is another article concerning another competition in which she appeared. All are trivial mentions. Did you read through all of them first? RGTraynor 21:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

- Just trying to help here... I can see UW's wording didn't seem to work for E, but does show frustration on UW's part. I understood the intent as UW asking E to provide clearer description of the reasoning behind the statements as WP:Consensus and WP:POLLS recommend. This needs to be a discussion, not just casting votes. Knowing the editor's thoughts behind a conclusion, rather than just the conclusion, helps us to meaningfully discuss the matter. Ikluft (talk) 19:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, but why the frustration? It is just a discussion on the merits of an article about a heliport. I know this is not a vote but a !vote.

I hope that helps. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:33, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Fails WP:ATHLETE even on the broadest measure (his head coaching career was in NAIA, not at the "highest level of amateur sports"). Prod removed by creator stating "article has been improved and sources added," but the sources are still only from the school in question and not independent, and none establish his notability per WP:BIO or WP:ATHLETE.

Additionall points include reaching quarterfinal playoffs for the NAIA national championships in his first year of coaching, and qualifying for the national championships his last season. His programs were marked by outstanding success on the field. If you have questions, please ask!--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: He did not, however, coach in the national championships, nor would that qualify someone for an article any more than being the coach of a Little League World Series team would, a post that would also arguably come with "outstanding success on the field." Ravenswing 18:03, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Response yes, he did coach in the national championship tournament for two games in their first appearance and one game in the last appearance. And this is not little league.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- He did not coach in the national championship GAME. As far as WP:ATHLETE holds, it is no different than Little League. Ravenswing 20:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- I never said it was the game, it was the tournament. The article is specific. And you really expect us to believe that a football team of 12-year-olds (i.e. little league) could compete toe-to-toe with this group of college players?--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think you are deliberately misreading RGT's comments. He never made such a claim, and it would be ridiculous. What matters here is notability, not the size of the players involved. Moreover, RGT didn't say that you said it was the game. The point is, he didn't coach in the championship game, apparently, and if he had, he might/would/could have been more notable than he is now (now, he is not notable). Such intentional obfuscation does not help your case. Drmies (talk) 20:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, arguing in good faith would be a good idea. This is getting a little bit raw. Ravenswing 21:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- I would be happy for everyone to make good faith arguments. Please clarify what you meant by "it is no different than Little League." Further, I mean no deliberate misreading and don't like being called a liar (no one does).--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- After going into this on a dozen AfDs or more, do you genuinely need me to spell this stance out yet again? It's terribly simple. WP:ATHLETE specifically and explicitly states that competitors who have played at the "highest level of amateur sports" are notable. NAIA isn't at the highest level of amateur sports. Therefore, as far as meeting WP:ATHLETE is concerned, there's no difference between NAIA, jucos, high schools or an 8-year-olds' T-ball league. They are all equally non-notable.

Non-notable minor college football coach and administrator, no substantive, independent articles about him.

Prod removed by creator stating "article has been improved and sources added," but the sources are still only from the schools in question and not independent, and none establish his notability per WP:BIO, WP:ATHLETE or WP:PROF.

- keep in general for reasons outlined at the essay discussing college football coaches. But for more detail, see below in a point-by-point response:
- Fails WP:ATHLETE even on the broadest measure (his head coaching career has been in NAIA and low level colleges, not at the "highest level of amateur sports") No clear-cut definition is given at WP:ATHLETE what specifically measures the "highest level of amateur sports" for American football or any other sport. There is an established college football project that has discussed the matter thoroughly and continues to arrive on the conclusion that "college football" is the highest level of the amateur sport and not necessarily "NCAA Division I FBS" football. Reasons include avoiding violaitons of WP:NPOV, WP:NOTBIGENOUGH, and WP:IDONTLIKEIT as well as the benefits of maintaining the data. As a parallel, Wikipedia tends to keep all high school articles, regardless of student population size. There is also additional historical value, the potential merger of the NAIA and the NCAA, that schools sometimes switch from NAIA to NCAA, and teams sometimes compete across the organizing bodies. There are many, many reasons to support the point that NAIA college football programs are among the "highest level" of the sport.
- fails the prof test as well. This is also discussed on the essay in the section 'Academic Standards and how a game can be considered the athletic equivalent to an academic published paper. The essay goes into details that would be redundant to re-print here. Not covered in the essay is the additional point that the subject served as athletic director for at least two schools, which would qualify for criteria #5 "The person holds or has held a named/personal chair appointment... at a major institution of higher education and research." -- I maintain that both "head football coach" and "athletic director" would both be that appointment and meet that requirement.
- Prod removed by creator stating "article has been improved and sources added," but the sources are still only from the schools in question and not independent, Yes the prod was removed, as per recommended procedure and done in good faith. However, a quick survey of the sources show that while school sources are used, there are also sources outside the school: Topeka Capital-Journal, Northern Sun Conference, NJCFCA, and the College Football Data Warehouse.
- and none establish his notability per
- WP:BIO, Meets basic criteria through multiple independent sources as stated under Bio's Basic critera as well as Additional criteria of a widely recognized contribution of being the founding coach or first football coach and athletic director of the football program at the University of Saint Mary.
- WP:ATHLETE (discussed above)
- or WP:PROF. (discussed above)
- See prior AfDs at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter J. West, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ward A. Wescott, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William McCracken, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Max Holm and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/J. J. Thiel These AfD discussions are about other coaches, not this coach. Yes, they can be useful and all editors are welcome to review them. There are also more to review at the college football notability essay Head Coach Notability Discussion Library and on the College Football Project page.
- Additional points: In previous AfD discussions listed above, nominator has accused the project of attempting to sidestep policy by making its own notability policy and expressing that as policy. While this has never been the intention, it is possible that an essay can be mis-interpreted and/or mis-applied as a policy. Please note the intent of the essay is to further enhance, clarify, and discuss policy as it pertains specifically to college football and not to overturn it. The essay provides the additional benefit of having potential repeated discussiosn in one place. Wikipedia encourages writing essays and that has been done (and continues to be done) at the college football project. Also, please note that on many occasions input has been requested from both inside and outside the college football project for feedback on the essay, and very little has been provied on that essay's talk page. This (along with the extended period of time) has given a form of pocket consensus or at least general acceptance of the concepts discussed in the essay. Anyone who would like to contribute to that essay to further assist editors in creating quality articles about college football is welcome to do so.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Reply: Without indulging in an equally rambling counter essay, (1) In terms of college football, the near-unanimous consensus is that "highest level of amateur sports" applies exclusively to Division I NCAA football, the only demurrers being the aforementioned three or four editors at the CFB Wikiproject. NAIA is three rungs below that; (2) Mr. McDonald's sole rationale for Keep on a number of AfDs were "Per CFB:COACH," and when challenged, attempted at first to defend it on the grounds of claiming to have achieved a broad consensus for it; (3) WP:BIO requires that ""Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail ..." I doubt many (beyond CFB, of course) would agree that a college with 683 undergrads is a "major" anything, or that being the founding coach in a NAIA program that size is a "widely recognized contribution;" (4) That Mr. McDonald feels that "a game can be considered the athletic equivalent to an academic published paper" I don't argue, but I'd wager he'd be met at best with derision if he took that premise to the academic community, most of whom don't publish a dozen academic papers a season; and (5) Mr. McDonald has not hesitated to claim other specific AfDs as consensus, and I'm surprised to hear him now discount the notion. RGTraynor 18:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Questions/Comments:
- I only made a long entry because you made a long entry. Rather than just respond with short snippets, I thought it best to reply with detail, this way other editors can respond easily. If you would like to pull some of the points of your nomination, I would be happy to reduce my responses.
- Where is the "near unanimous consensus" on NCAA Div I you mention?
- The NAIA is not exactly "three rungs below" NCAA Div I. All are college level. 4 years of play in the NAIA makes a player inelligible for any play in NCAA, and vice versa. Players are drafted into the NFL from the NAIA and all levels of the NCAA. Granted, Div I has more money, more audience, and more recognition--but they are the same level in many respects. Popularity does not necessarily equal notability.
- I made many other statements at other AfDs besides just consensus. Would you really like me to catalog them here in addition to the essay I mentioned?
- Stating that 683 students is too small shows a clear violation of WP:NOTBIGENOUGH and by arguing that being the founding coach is not a strong enough contribution reeks of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Now, if you have a guideline or policy that states that if there were 684 students (or some other larger number) then it would be big enough, would you please bring it up now?
- Academic papers and games--I'm sure there would be a lot of people in academia who don't like football or sports in general. Is there an English department information director or a Physics department information director?? No? Okay, maybe a Sports information director. Even the smallest of small colleges have that if they have any athletic program at all. Not liking an argument does not make it invalid.
- More on Academic: And you still haven't addressed the point about criteria #5 where he served both as head coach and athletic director
- Still more on Academic: even if consensus is that he would ultimately fail the academic test, there's still the sports and bio and all the other parts. The article must fail all of these, not just one and out.
- I'm not discounting that consensus can be expressed through AfDs, I simply pointed out that you only posted the AfDs that support your point of view. I provided a broader base for editors passing to this discussion to have more information choices.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:33, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

- Delete--not because he was so eminently unsuccessful, despite the author's attempts to make something out of nothing (he was claimed to be the third-winningest coach at St. Mary's, with one win and seventeen losses--third-winningest out of three!), but because indeed, there is no notability, no publications, nothing of interest except for a few brief passages that report his coming and going at various schools. OH, that business about a game being a paper? That's laughable, and I speak as an academic here. Drmies (talk) 19:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- If a game is like an academic paper, this person, as far as can be established from the article and its sources, wrote 50 papers and received a failing grade on 42 of them. That's not good, though it might be notable in its own right, like the Lanterne Rouge in the Tour de France. Drmies (talk) 19:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- As to the concept of relating win-loss to pass fail: If a "win" is a "pass" and a "loss" is a "fail" then I guess so... but is the sole purpose of the game to win? Certainly winning is one of the purposes of competitive sport, but if winning were the only purpose then Harvard University and Yale and the other Ivy League schools would not have competetive sports at all. I suggest having an open mind and leaving a little room for some other purpose or purposes of the sport before rushing to a conclusion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Please let's not get teary-eyed over the philosophical and educational aspects of sports. First of all, I don't get a page on Wikipedia because some of my students went to graduate school. This argument of having an 'open mind' is specious, probably facetious, not to mention irrelevant to the discussion. If you are in sports, and you want to be noted, you must win. By the same token, if you are a coach, you better win games or you'll get fired--which is what happened here. He's not Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards. The guy is simply not notable. Drmies (talk) 17:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Mm ... really, we need a healthy dose of WP:SOAPBOX in the discussion. Wikipedia is not an advocacy forum to put college coaches on an equal academic plateau as researchers, nor are we bound to consider -- indeed, we are bound NOT to consider -- the moral, philosophical or spiritual values of sport in our society in gauging whether a subject passes WP:V or WP:BIO. We have black-letter policy before us, and one simple question to answer: does this subject meet the criteria or does he not? RGTraynor 18:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

- Quite. I'm certainly not going to get into a point-by-point slanging match, the more especially given Mr. McDonald's propensity to answer a 100 word deletion rationale with 750 words, but the standard seems to be to buttress a non-notable coaching position at an obscure institution with two or three other non-notable posts at equally obscure institutions. Given the amount of effort he's placed into the many similar articles he's written, I don't blame him for passionately defending them, but the clear, overwhelming and consistent consensus over the last several weeks is that Division III, NAIA or lower college football play just is not notable, and gigantic essays don't overturn that. Three times zero or ten times zero, it still equals zero in the end. RGTraynor 19:57, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

- Question why do you think that CFB:COACH is against WP:N and WP:ATHLETE? Have you read CFB:COACH?--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:54, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Of course I have. The essay as written is clearly, unambiguously, and avowedly adversarial toward WP:N and WP:ATLHETE. WP:N says: covered in third party sources in sig. detail. WP:ATHLETE says "played at the highest level of amateur sports==>probably covered in third party sources". Athlete is designed to stop us from deleting articles on Olympians and professional players because we don't see a source readily at hand. Both are a means to an end: creation of articles free from NPOV, BLP and WP:IINFO problems. CFB:COACH says that all coaches, regardless of the level the team plays at, are to be included. This means that an overwhelming majority of biographical articles will not be sourced to biographies or to material that is independent from the subject's employer. As a result we get articles that are merely work histories and win loss records or articles that inflate the importance of the subject. neither result is acceptable. The community requires that we work with an inclusion standard that will basically result in articles that meet our policies. WP:N does that. To a lesser extent, WP:ATHLETE does that. CFB:COACH does not. As written it is NOT a functioning guideline for inclusion. It is a set of arguments to be used in AfD in order to keep the articles that the project wants. Does that answer your question? Protonk (talk) 18:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Exactly; CFB:COACH is, as you say, about 5% "Every man who has ever coached college ball is notable" and 95% "Here's what you say to counter every argument the deletionists over on AfD might throw at you." It's a large part of the reason I've declined Mr. McDonald's kind invitation to go over and debate CFB's criteria: they don't have criteria so much as a polemic.

The community requires that we work with an inclusion standard that will basically result in articles that meet our policies. WP:N does that. To a lesser extent, WP:ATHLETE does that. CFB:COACH does not. As written it is NOT a functioning guideline for inclusion. It is a set of arguments to be used in AfD in order to keep the articles that the project wants. Does that answer your question? Protonk (talk) 18:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Very weakkeep. Seems to barely reach the notability standard with only one serious review in PC Advisor; the second review is from a site where anyone can add a review. VG ☎ 08:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC) (more sources found) VG ☎ 06:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I have now found reviews at PC Pro [20], Maximum PC [21], Microfilmmaker Magazine [22], Creative Mac [23]. Otest.co.uk, a site I had not come across before, says at [24] that it was reviewed in MacWorld and a magazine called Windows XP Made Easy. If you are searching for other online reviews, be warned that the PC Pro review seems to also surface as Computer Buyer and Computer Shopper; I think that these three titles are all owned by the same parent company. Jll (talk) 18:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 14:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Keep I'll add additional references and perhaps expand the article, at the time of creating the article I was inexperienced with Wikipedia therefore reluctant to create an article that followed the guidelines to the letter. The article provides no information regarding the plot but rather the character's relationships with other members of the cast. The external links provide sources for many of these claims however I will add citations to be more specific. UniversalBread (talk) 16:05, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Merge like the other characters into Tyler Perry's House of Payne. The section on the characters there needs to be expanded, but I do not think the show is of the same cultural importance as some of the others we've been considering, and may not justify separate articles for even the principal characters. DGG (talk) 16:31, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- If we where to create an additional section for characters on the main article it would certainly be too lengthy compared to other sections. If the deletion of the article is indeed mandatory an additional article for information regarding the fictional characters should be created.
- Wikipedia guidelines haven't exactly made it clear as to what makes a telivision character "significant" enough to warrant its own article, and really there seems to be a double standard. Characters who appear very rarely such as Meg have their own article (as well as any other character on that show), which--ironically--offer very little information rather than plot summary.
- I'm not excusing crappy articles with the existence of multiple other mediocre articles, however this makes it difficult as to distinguish what is required for a character to have their own article. Ella Payne is a key character on the show; if I where to significantly improve the article I doubt a merge would be necessary. UniversalBread (talk) 20:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

This character does not establish notability independent of SNL. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 14:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Merge into one of t he Saturday Night Live character lists, or else to Belushi. But this is not the way to do it--individual characters selected on no particular system. Some of the characters there have separate articles, some are redirected to the actor performing them, and I cannot perceive any particular pattern. Some rational basis should be found for this besides the accident of sourcing. DGG (talk) 16:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment The Samurai character actually did appear in Marvel Comics: [25], [26]. There are also brief discussions of the samurai in various other books, like [27] and [28]. There's no need to delete this entirely. Either keep it or merge it. Zagalejo^^^ 19:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Keep per Zagalejo's links, because of the arbitrary uselessness (organization-wise) of redirecting skits willy-nilly, and because this could almost certainly very easily be sourced by someone who likes SNL (not me, for sure), and has purchased one of the myriad books on the subject that came out in the last five or six years.

The show in question is Saturday Night Live, one of the key shows in the genre. For the most important shows, we should have such content--content, not articles. .

The article is a simple list copied from a "for Dummies" book, and adds noting that isn't already in the AltMed article. Any possible expansion of this article should actually take place in the AltMed article. This is one of a number of similar articles that have recently been created, and if the AltMed page would benefit from splitting this certainly isn't a good way of doing it.

Claudette
- Claudette (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Incorrect disambiguation page for a first name where the individuals noted also use last name (contrast with John, where the linked individuals do not use a last name. Note that this variety of usage is specifically prohibited under the disambiguation policy. Bongomatic (talk) 13:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I see your point, but we also have pages such as Jonathan, which also includes people with Jonathan as their first name. Tizio 15:42, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Falls under WP:OSE, but in this example, not for long. I'm not going on a crusade though. Bongomatic (talk) 16:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- It isn't really covered by WP:OSE; we are not talking about two similar topics, we are talking about the same: first names. There is no way to differentiate a first name from another (contrarily to bands, people, websites, etc.) See section "Precedent in usage" in OSE. Tizio 17:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- The point of a name disambiguation is that it's a collection of overlapping titles or redirects from alternative titles — i.e. it is for people who are commonly referred-to solely by that name. It is common practice to refer to people solely by their family names, which is why there are name disambiguations for surnames, such as Bush. ("Bush vows to stabilise economy", reads one of today's headlines.) There are people who are known solely by their given name "Jonathan". A disambiguation here would have to be for people who are known solely by their given name "Claudette" (as, for examples, Kylie and Madonna, are). None of the entries on this list apparently are. Uncle G (talk) 17:36, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that this shouldn't be a disambiguation page. It should be a page about a first name. Tizio 17:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Falls under WP:OSE, but in this example, not for long. I'm not going on a crusade though. Bongomatic (talk) 16:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Why delete? It's useful as a disambiguation page, so move to Claudette (disambiguation), and if an article about the name is desired, turn the redirect into that article. Nyttend (talk) 17:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- delete. First names not disambiguated by. And not enough for disambig page: at least 3 articles required. Twri (talk) 18:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Keep "at least three required"? Not strictly true (desired, yes, required, no), but in any case this had nine, and I've added a handful more - including one to something actually called "Claudette", rather than having it as a first name. Grutness...wha? 00:25, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Grutness, you're missing the point. Name disambiguation pages are provided for people who have the same name, not the same first name. Bongomatic (talk) 00:57, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- I could name dozens of similar dab pages based almost entirely on first names. And before you respond with WP:OSE, I'd suggest you actually read what this essay (yes, it's only an essay, albeit a widely accepted one) actually says. As User:Tizio has already pointed out, WP:OSE, correctly, says that you cannot base the worth of an article against other existing articles in order to say whether an article is worth by dint of the subject's notability - that is, you can't say "X deserved to have an article, since Y has one and is just as notable". In this case, however, this isn't what's being done - a large number of disambiguation pages exist, based on first names. Is this right or wrong? Opinions no doubt vary - there certainly doesn't seem to be wide consensus one way or the other on Wikipedia - but given the large number that exist they seem to be either accepted or at least tolerated by many editors. In any case, as I pointed out, there is now at least one article linked from here which is not for a person, but rather for a song - and the page also links to a disambiguation page for hurricanes called Claudette. As such, even if there were no "people with Claudette as a first name" listed, it would still be marginally viable as a dab page. As it is, there's more than enough here to keep it.

unreferenced articles about a public high and middle schools. Article quality varies from pretty good to horrible mess. Subject lacks notability.

- Delete. It is probably the most played RPG game in the Czech Republic (by virtue of being the first on the market) but ... the current article is just a very shallow overview of the game plus the list of available characters (Czech Wikipedia article grew into low quality how-to guide).

Aberra Molla
- Aberra Molla (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
This is a vanity page created and written by Molla. (It was originally deleted, but then reinstated at Molla's request, which explains why his is not the first edit in the page history. The identity of User:Ethiopic and Molla is apparent among other places by his giving permission on the talk page for another editor to use his picture.) It is completely unnotable except for the quite dubious claim that he Unicodified Ethiopic, which I am unable to confirm with the Unicode Consortium. One source, on a web site which Molla has written several articles for (these articles are primary "sources" for the article), a paean calling him the "Father of Ethiopic", says that he created the first computer font for Ethiopic. Possibly true, but a long way from creating the Unicode proposal, and in any case we don't have bios on every person who created a font or even who wrote an accepted Unicode proposal. Molla has also added a claim to the Ge'ez alphabet article that he computerized the script,[32] and then repeatedly deleted claims that other people were also responsible for computerizing Ethiopic.[33][34] kwami (talk) 20:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, basically per nom. The only serious claim to notability is the claim to be the first to computerize the Ethiopic language. However, such a claim would need some serious verification and collaboration by independent reliable sources which does not seem to be available here. Moreover, the diffs provided by the nom show that there are valid competing claims references to which User:Ethiopic has been removing. Little or nothing of relevance in googlenews[35] and googlebooks[36]. Also, apparent WP:AUTO/WP:COI problems here. Nsk92 (talk) 00:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Dr. Molla is quite notable for his achievements within the Ethiopian community, both online and off; note the Amharic version includes this article, and if you cut and paste, google search for his name in the Ethiopic text, you will get many more hits to Amharic language sources. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 02:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Which achievements are those? AFAIK he hasn't contributed to Unicode as he claims, and lots of people have created Ethiopic fonts. In fact, in what I've read on his website, he lambastes Unicode for not accepting his proposals (the "enemies of Ethiopic" are making imperfect proposals, etc.). His English and Amharic sources are mostly written by himself, or interviews with him posted at his website. According to the 1991 article, he created an Ethiopic IME, but I don't know that that's notable. Maybe mention of his name in the Ge'ez alphabet article, but a vanity autobiography? Also, what is notable for Amharic wiki may not be notable here—I'm sure there are lots of local US politicians who are not notable enough to make it onto Amharic wikipedia—and the Amharic article is just a stub.
- I've checked Google. There are 17 hits.[37] They are Molla's own website, English Wiki, Amharic Wiki, wiki mirrors, a couple web stats sites, a site on AIDS that mentions the CDCP brochure he translated into Amharic, and an Oromo blog, which allocates Molla one line of print for one of his patents, and then in the very next line credits Obbo Ayana Birru for having "Invented Amharic Type writer and brough the Geez scripts to the 21st century." That is, the only independent source denies Molla credit for his claims! kwami (talk) 03:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Be sure to also check the more common spelling "አበራ ሞላ" that brings up 69 more hits including several more articles about him in Amharic press. The Amharic wiki has only 3000-3500 articles total and is still waiting for many articles to be written, including many notable US politicians, but as knowledge grows over the decades and centuries, who knows how much more complete it could be one day 100's of years from now. But if you do not want to include notable information for the English encyclopedia, it is probably your loss. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 12:47, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- A search for "አበራ ሞላ" gives 70 hits in the plain google search[38] (of which only 13 appear to be from unique addresses[39]), but 0 hits in googlebooks[40], 0 hits in googlenews[41] and 0 hits in googlescholar[42]. Of the 70 plain google search hits most appear to be some kind of wiki-mirrors as well as blogs ands bulletin boards, and certainly not passing WP:RS.

Comment I'd asked User:Codex Sinaiticus to join us, as he contributed to the Amharic article, and now that I'm writing this I see he's Til Eulenspiegel, above. Til, you'd said he's a "prominent businessman among the Ethiopian community", but that you don't know about his Unicode claims. From what Molla's been writing, it would seem the Unicode stuff is his main claim to fame, veterinary work is second, and he makes no mention of his business. (I assume you mean his computer business, not his vaccines?) He describes himself as "an Ethiopian veterinarian and writer", but the only piece of writing he describes is an Amharic adaptation of an CDCP Aids brochure—hell, I'm a writer if that's all that's required: I've published malaria pamphlets in languages that didn't have any, and published in other fields as well, but wouldn't claim to be notable. So we're down to his veterinary work. Is being a USDA veterinarian, the field test (two patents for the same test, it would seem), and student work at CSU "notable"? The field test that the patents are for isn't notable enough for even Molla to explain what exactly it is. But my opposition stems primarily from his self-aggrandizement (evidenced also by his deleting mention of any other contributors to digitizing Amharic). kwami (talk) 19:40, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Keep you all are being ridiculous, and some, such as kwami, are just being childish - why else would he start a discussion with the comment "This is a vanity page". If you can't read amharic, then you may not know all of the contributions that Dr. Molla has made to the Ethiopian community or to advancements in computers. Until you learn, you cannot say what information is out there or the effect of Dr. Molla's contributions. Those who can read and understand Amharic know better than to delete this page. Also, wikipedia is meant to be a global encylopedia, not just an encylopedia for those who speak English. The fact that you are considering deleting a page because you haven't found corroboration in English is an insult to the community. Finally, there is nothing wrong with deleting information that is incorrect, which is what was done in the past, which frankly just makes me wonder if you bothered to discuss the reasons for deleting that information as much as you are discussing this now.... no... I didn't think so. [anon.]
- Amharic sources are fine, but this has no supporting sources whatsoever. There are no significant Amharic sources online, not just no English sources.

A fictional character in a long standing soap opera with no real world information. Article consists 99% of plot. No references of third party sources (in fact no references at all). Article created before character appears in the show (see WP:RECENTISM. Fails notability (see also WP:FICTION). The only facts worth are already in wikipedia in List of The Bold and the Beautiful characters. No reason to create another article just to put unverifiable, unreferenced plot summaries, minor than these appearing in the B&B storylines.Article was deleted in June 8 and recreated some days later with the same content.

- Merge to a combination article The existence of a separate article is not justified, but a combination one is. The existing list that the nom. mentions is a bare listing giving the name of the character and the actor, without the slightest mention of the role in the story. This is not adequate information. In a sense this argument is moot, because regardless of the decision here --even a G4--there is no reason not to add information to the list, or to make a combination article for recurring characters. It's a pity content disputes end up here. Plot summaries are of course verifiable and referenceable from the primary work,so the objections of the nom to a combination article does not hold. At worst, this should be a redirect, and the nomination mentions no reason why not to do it. The last few weeks has seen a significant unwarranted change in the purpose of AfD--instead of discussing whether to delete articles, we are discussing whether the merge or redirect them. According to policy, this is not the right place. DGG (talk) 17:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

This character does not establish notability independent of its film. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 19:37, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

- Keep due to disruptive copy and paste noms across multiple AfDs that only merit copy and paste replies and per notability. I see no evidence that the nominator is looking for sources or considering the merits of individual articles. If it’s an episode or character, it must go as far as he’s concerned. When has he argued to keep? When has he added sources? At least some of the others who typically argue to delete in these kind of AfDs also spend time writing articles. This is getting out of hand. As much as he may hate having to actually discuss with others who disagree with him in redirect and merge discussions, that’s the route to go, not to circumvent discussion and misuse AfD when has admitted he not actually after deletion but rather using AfD to get things merged or redirected. Maybe people challenge his redirects and merge, because others interpret policy in a different way. Maybe that’s the real consensus. This is not TTN is right and everyone else is wrong and that’s it. I know these discussions should usually be about the articles and not the other editors in the discussions, but clearly these are pointed and disruptive noms and we really do need to take that into account. We shouldn’t humor pointed nominations as it is clear from the outcomes that these articles vary wildly in quality and this just labeling them all with the same tired post is not really honest. It’s hard to focus on the article’s individual merits when the nominator is not considerate enough to provide an original nomination rationale for other editor’s volunteer work. It’s easy to slap an AfD template on articles others are working on, but why not join in the actual efforts to do what you can to improve the articles, too? If you are unwilling to do so, then this is nothing more than just not liking these kinds of articles, because it is clear from what others keep showing that sources can be found or at worst that the articles could just be redirected and/or merged. Why would anyone not be willing to add sources at least occasionally to articles? We should ban him from AfDs for at least a while and see if in the meantime he is willing to do anything to build any articles. If he isn’t then it will be clear as so many of us suspect that he isn’t really here as a legitimate good faith editor after all.--63.3.1.2 (talk) 15:39, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

- Temporary keep There is three years of improvement by a number of editors. This could have potential. Deleting it could kill an article by eliminating traces of it. Putting in a user space also hides it. Do not put it in my user space as I do not want porn there. This is not a case of an unknown star trying to write their own article. Is this person one of the more famous bondage stars? If so, this may have merit. Spevw (talk) 23:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say if the article has had "three years of improvement by a number of editors" and is still in the present condition, that's a strong indication that bringing it up to article standards is fundametally impossible due to a non-notable subject for whom no reliable sources exist.

- Merge the third-party-sourced information to Legal disputes over the Harry Potter series and redirect. I only considerded a weak merge at first, but since this fanfic has some ONEVENT-ness surrounding its legal dispute but is still not mentioned in Legal disputes over the Harry Potter series, notability and undue weight is a concern here. – sgeureka t•c 14:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

WeakKeep. This seems like a notable enough book, at the very least notable enough for the legal disputes article because JK Rowling has at least mentioned this in public. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 03:16, 14 October 2008 (UTC) - Keep, for all the reasons I said the first time around. The subject of the article is arguably even more notable now than it was when I originally created the article almost a year ago; Lippert has even started writing a sequel. There has even been some speculation about Warner Bros. possibly even considering adapting the story to continue making money off the Harry Potter name brand after the last film version of Deathly Hallows is released—unlikely that that would ever pan out, but still, within the Harry Potter fan community at least, this is a big deal. I don't know what else I can say to convince people here; I'm just glad the article wasn't deleted the first time around. --Antodav2007 (talk) 03:15, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Delete and merge the remnants into "legal disputes", per Jclemens. "A big deal in the online fan community because of a bogus rumor" doesn't constitute notability.

The band is notable. There have been several concerts and recordings released, with more tours and recordings on the way from Echolocation Recordings, which is why this article was posted. This is not an attempt at free publicity (that's what MySpace is for), but an opportunity for the international audiences seeking information on the band to have an explanation. Updates will be coming shortly. If there are recommendations you might suggest to the content, please share them. If you dispute the article because you feel the band is not notable, I assure you that to a vast audience nationwide, and a growing foreign fan-base, this is a quite notable project. —Preceding unsigned comment added by N. nomurai (talk • contribs) 03:47, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

- Reviewing Mista-X's rationale for disputing the prod, I have to point out that while Wikipedia does indeed have articles about other unelected politicians, the rule is that those politicians have to meet WP:POLITICIAN — that is, there have to be verifiable reliable sources indicating that the person in question has achieved enough to warrant an encyclopedia article. I'd also love to know where Mista-X gleans that there's ever been a prior keep consensus on this article, since I can't find any record of a prior deletion discussion apart from his own prod disputation.

After the 1st nomination finished, there was no consensus. There have also been 0 edits since that first nomination was concluded. The page consists *entirely* of WP:OR as to what or what not is a highlight. In short, this article is simply not encyclopedic, and there is no chance of it ever becoming one. Aaronw (talk) 01:50, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Delete I would urge the closer to examine the arguments for Keep closely and ensure that they are not along the lines of "But it's a useful article" - WP is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a collection of useful articles/information.

We do not delete articles because they need clean-up, as long as they have the potential to become quality articles. If done right, this could reach the level of a featured list. Claiming we do not keep based solely on utility is a straw-man argument, as there are plenty of policy-based reasons to keep this page. Random89 17:42, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

- I don't see why any of the articles has to mention "major events". However, I do agree that inclusion criteria can be a little problematic, but certainly not more so than in your average year article? What "events" are worthy of inclusion in 1967, for instance?

Non-notable game, no references from reliable, third-party published sources, very crufty. Wikipedia is not a game guide. Wyatt Riot (talk) 09:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
This opinion seems very euro/American culture centric. This game is quite notable. I live in S. Korea, a country where computer games are played competitively on TV, in prime time, 7 days a week. This is the 2nd most popular game in the country behind Star Craft. It's unique free distribution system requiring government data is also a noteworthy contrast to standard games. The artical has major needs of revision and new sources, it's true, but it should not be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.72.229.46 (talk) 08:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

- Keep - This game is huge. Notability in the western markets is in question, but certainly not elsewhere so the argument of centrism is a good one to use in this case. For further notability, see: [58][59][60][61], it wasn't hard to find lots of sources on google for this regarding the games importance/notability. Also in correction to MuZemike, this is an MMOFPS, not an MMORPG. And it scale of popularity puts it far beyond most titles that already have wikipedia articles. TrackZero (talk) 14:57, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Mind you of WP:BIGNUMBER and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Sorry about the MMO-confusion (although in my eyes many MMO articles, regardless if it's an FPS or RPG, face the same staggering problems). Anyways, the first source mentioned is from a blog, a self-published source which does not readily pass WP:V. The third and fourth ones don't seem to be reliable sources. However, the second one I think is OK. However, the article needs more sources like this one to establish the significant coverage needed to satisfy WP:GNG. I'll change my !vote a weak delete for now. MuZemike (talk) 20:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Unremarkable comic. No wanting to start an edit war here, so here's the afd. LAAFansign review 01:14, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - What exactly does unremarkable mean? This seems a lot like WP:IDONTLIKEIT. If this is your only reason for deletion, then I must say this a not a very good AfD nomination. Also, where did your comment on edit warring come from? If you are talking about when I removed the PROD, then per WP:Proposed deletion#Conflicts, you aren't allowed to add it back anyways. In any case, although I might support your notion that the article should be deleted (it is incredibly in-universe with no reliable sources to indicate notability), your nomination statement of "Unremarkable comic." has much to be desired. Artichoker[talk] 01:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Well, let me clarify, because I usually don't write a very detailed AFD. The edit warring was I didn't want to edit war with you over the deletion, no matter what type; I try to avoid that. I nominated because this an unremarkable "comic". The comic is from a fictional book. There are no real references.

Slipknot Demo
Is this topic notable enough to have its own article, or the material should be merged into the band's article? Nergaal (talk) 17:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - Is there a particular notability policy that you feel the article fails? There are a large number of Demos which have their own articles, most are not cited as well as or as comprehensive as this article. Blackngold29 17:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- Good point. I wasn't sure but I went to Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Albums and I saw this Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Nergaal (talk) 17:56, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- KEEP - Per "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable", I would argue that this is notable, because it's nto just a demo that the band created, it was the demo that was isntrumental in them recruiting Ross Robinson and then got them signed to Roadrunner records. This article is comprehensive and I believe it is notable enough.

- grrr: Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources Nergaal (talk) 02:14, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- I am well aware of how to read. This demo has recieved "independent coverage in reliable sources" from MTV, as well as coverage two books about the band which are atleast second party coverage. This article has better coverage and referencing, not to mention length and verifiability that the vast majority of demo articles on WP. Not to mention the band's notability in itself; if it were from a band that has had no sucess, then I wouldn't be so supporting, but Slipknot has debuted in the top five of the Billboards and many other countries' charts multiple times, we should do well to present their full history. Blackngold29 02:34, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Delete I believe that Bramblestar is correct and that Nergaal has a point. I think this article is best if merged within the band's wikipage. Beano (talk) 03:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not to be disrespectful to any efforts that Bramblestar may have made in creating a Slipknot wiki, but that is completely irrelevant to this discussion. That Wiki is far from on par with Wikipedia, I am here to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Slipknot articles, to be quite frank I (and I'm sure a lot of other people too) couldn't care less about another Wiki because Wikipedia is the most popular wiki and I'm here to help improve peoples understanding of Slipknot and all related articles and Wikipedia being the most popular Wiki is the obvious choice. I agree with Blackngold too, merging this topic with the band's article will add way too much weight to the subject and this article is actually better referenced, covered and represented that many demo (and even album) articles. Plus the notability of the band themselves adds significant weight to the notability of the demo. I think this is a case of WP:IAR. REZTER TALK ø 14:18, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

- Strong Keep. At face value it is not difficult to know this song is notable as it is a theme song to a very successful franchise. It has been heard all over the world in all media (Well, ok - maybe not print media) for many years. If it were only based on worldwide exposure and identifiability I would say keep. However as these deletion threads are based on the guidelines, this is a strong keep. Guidelines say a song "performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups" would be notable.

Merge and Redirectto Valley of the Dolls where this character has its notability.Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- About half way down this article there is quite a bit of discussion [73], but mainly the character is often referenced in books about Hollywood movies and sometimes in works of fiction as a kind of Hollywood actress archetype. RMHED (talk) 22:47, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- So we currently have one reference that amounts to trivial coverage, maybe two if the book below actually focuses on the character rather than the film. Quick mentions in fiction can't really be used besides using one or two as examples to back up the initial point. This need enough coverage to warrant being a separate topic from the main works. Nothing has been shown that it is remotely possible yet. TTN (talk) 12:06, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

- Keep Like TTN, I am also leery of writing character articles from sourcing which do not mean to discuss the character but instead mean to discuss the work. I see no reason why this character is made more or less notable (in other words, is covered more or less in secondary sources) by the coverage of Valley of the Dolls (film) or Valley of the Dolls. However, there are ~12 Scholar sources that seem to cover the character, as well as 10-20 book sources (the majority of the Gbooks list isn't helpful). News sources are mainly film and television reviews, so I'm not digging through those for something meaningful. But this character itself is covered in third party sources. that is what matters.

Looking at the sources, most of them are about the movie itself, not the character per se. But for example [74] is certainly better than a movie review (it is a serious article asking what exactly the movie (and the main character) tapped into to be so popular. The actor was so popular in the role that he's looking at running for parliament ([75]) and when he's discussed, is in terms of this hugely popular character [76].

- Delete as the article is incorrect in a few things I just corrected. For instance, the actors authored stated as playing "The guardian" are credited as a character named "derelict". In just a few minutes of checking I discovered a few major errors in this unsourced article. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:00, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Problematic article with little context and no references, created in 2006 by an editor sharing the series name. I can't find any sources that this US TV series existed. There was a crossroadsseries.com site matching the creator's name, but it expired early 2007. Searches for "Burgandi" with "Crossroads" turn up nothing useful, other searches on unique content names with a crossroads connotation have a similar lack of good results. No substantive content changes had been made since the article's creation date of 29 October 2006, except for addition of a TV stub. I cannot determine if this is an obscure series, a hoax or fictionalization of someone's life, or a failed project, but currently the article fails the core policy of verifiability with no reliable sources.

- Delete seems likely it was either a hoax or something that totally failed to get off the ground. A real miniseries, even an obscure one, would have at least something out there. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

- Merge as the major plot element in the film, the information should be combined--some of it would help explain the signifcance of the film. The name is not distinctive, and I see no need for a redirect.DGG (talk) 18:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy was removed so bringing here. Whilst there are articles for bilateral relations, some of which are underdeveloped, we as a project have to look at whether there is a realistic opportunity for development of an article past the fact that two countries recognise each other. There are no political, military, trade, transport or cultural tie between Kosovo and Nauru on which to build an encyclopaedic article.The fact that these two countries recognise each other is noted at International reaction to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence and until such time as true bilateral relations emerge, this article, unfortunately, is not notable, with an a distinct possibility that it can't be built into an encyclopaedic entry. (There are other articles in this Kosovo series, such as Burkina Faso, Samoa, etc which could be looked at as well) Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 20:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Most of the "Nauru-.... relations" articles are short like "Nauru-Kosovo relations". Ex: Nauru–Russia relations, Nauru-United Kingdom relations. If we delete all, Nauru won't have any relations articles... --Turkish Flame ☎ 21:00, 3 October 2008 (UTC

- Comment Is the fact of recognition of nationhood status notable in itself? If not, then the article adds nothing to our knowledge about either nation. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. I remember someone was using AWB or some other script a couple of months back to create X-Y relations for pretty much every country pair, despite that many of the intersections were decidedly trivial. This one looks like it slipped through. Stifle (talk) 08:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Keep.Certainly needs better sourcing and expanded references, but a googlenews search reveals plenty of newscoverage of her as a glamour model: 308 googlenews hits for "Danielle Lloyd" model[79], including quite a few with specific and detailed coverage, such as [80],[81][82][83][84], etc. Much of the coverage seems to be from the British tabloid press, but there still seems to be quite enough coverage from mainstream media for passing WP:BIO. Nsk92 (talk) 12:47, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
