Deprodded R.Haworth's prod, and sending it here for discussion. I think this might be one of the exceptions to the general rule that institutes such as these are not notable--it does seem to be one of the major institute in its field at the world level.

- Keep. Seems notable enough, esp. per the reference given by Avenue. Drmies (talk) 17:10, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Avenue's quote strongly indicates notability, but take a look at the whole LA Times article: that one citation alone would provide enough independent material for a verifiable page. The second page may be more useful than the first. DeliciousBits (talk) 08:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of "celebrity" is entirely arbitrary (list contains entertainers, but also politicians, doctors, etc.; if we take "celebrity" to mean "notable person," the list is meaningless because, per WP:ANYBIO, being appointed confers automatic notability). –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:22, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. I would take issue with the statement that "being appointed confers automatic notability". To GBE, DBE or KBE certainly (since they confer knighthoods or damehoods, which certainly qualify as "a well-known and significant award or honor"), to CBE probably, to OBE or MBE only maybe, depending on why the appointment was made. Most MBEs are not automatically notable enough for an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:54, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. As criteria for celebrity is indeed arbitrary, this list becomes WP:OR/WP:SYN (subjective debatable criteria is WP:OR, as I can choose different criteria and come to the different list with the very same name). Also can delete per WP:SALAT. Ipsign (talk) 07:54, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename/Repurpose: List of entertainers appointed to the Order of the British Empire would take in the great majority of the entries, seems better defined, and useful. --GRuban (talk) 14:25, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep the current sourcing in the article is very weak, but strong sources clearly exist. A merge to Billy Mays is possibly reasonable, but in this case it should probably be discussed on the talk page.--Yaksar (let's chat) 19:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep – Topic's notability is established per several reliable sources listed above. Northamerica1000 (talk) 22:59, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The nominator was the same person who nominated the article the last time at AFD. Don't keep trying until you get the results you want. Also follow WP:BEFORE and do a quick Google news archive search. The New York times says "Last year, Orange Glo International, based in Greenwood Village, Colo., reported sales of $240 million... OxiClean powder is now third in sales in its category nationwide, according to Information Resources of Chicago, which tracks consumer product sales." [3] A major product with millions in sales. The Star Telegram has an article about it. [4] The most ample coverage I see is from the Denver Business Journal[5] which talks about its development, etc. Dream Focus 03:48, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Existing sources more than adequate to demonstrate notability. While the Denver one looks like it may be a rehashed press release, the old NYT article exists even if it's no longer online. Bongomatic 06:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep., this is a well known product, this page could be expanded on. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 17:32, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Previous AfDs add more to the list of sources, Analysis of Oxiclean: An Interesting Comparison of Percarbonate Stain Removers is posted on a government website for educators, and states, "The study focuses on percarbonate-based stain removers since the percarbonate can be heated to produce additional sodium carbonate. An experiment that provides general chemistry students an opportunity to apply their knowledge of basic stoichiometry to solve a relevant, real-world problem is described." So, no real question here about sources or notability. Unscintillating (talk) 21:31, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. References in the article are, I suppose, primary as I didn't actually see that they confirmed anything in the article, but it does appear to be the site of the owner of the small record label that that released the one album in the discography for which I could find no critical reception or attention. -- Whpq (talk) 16:27, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this article after clicking on What links here for Mammy's Cupboard (which I started) and Haines Shoe House (which I expanded). While it is true that the places featured in this special are notable, the documentary itself is not and I can't find any significant coverage. SL93 (talk) 21:45, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Its creator, Rick Sebak, is a notable filmmaker who founded a new sub-genre of documentaries. Several of his other films are also covered on the encyclopedia.

Reference is from www.unp.me which is "The UNP Punjabi forum has discussions about Punjabi music..." The reference comes from a forum in which anybody can add content to, thus is unreliable.

- keep At worst , easily mergeable into an article on the line of these products from a major manufacturer. But this is an important recent product , and there seem to be substantial reviews, which would make it independently notable. I consider the practice of nominating for deletion equally and indiscriminately major product article with source, and minor ones with poor sourcing, to be unhelpful.

Almost everything in this stub article is original research, and if I where to remove all OR, then only "other connotations" will remain. If secondary research cannot be found I believe it's better to delete the article as whole. →AzaToth 20:19, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia; by sheer definition, that would make it aspire to becoming an inclusive database of all human knowledge. It negates that very definition if it were to exclude the articles that explain certain words and expressions, slang or otherwise, that have any perceived negative connotations, sexual, political or otherwise; especially in a case where clearly the word under discussion has historical and cultural significance from an evolutionary retrospective of an era. It would, in my opinion, be a remarkably silly pursuit if we were to take all published matter from all periods of human history and purge them of all words that were in regular contextual usage at the time of publication, but are deemed offensive now. I am not sure it is an intelligent or even conscionable pursuit to censor and edit history itself to make it more palatable in terms of today's obsessive political correctness. I agree that certain words should not be in usage in contemporary writing and conversation, as they might hurt or offend certain sections of society. But to refrain from explaining their very meanings in their usage in books and writings of an earlier age or to purge them altogether from vintage literature, is just plain officiousness.

- Comment: How do we know this is original research, now? It is mostly unreferenced, but I do believe the term "bombshell" arose out of Jean Harlow's role in Bombshell (film) (1933). It may make more sense editorially to fold this into Sex symbol.--Milowent • talkblp-r 19:32, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or Merge; Wikipedia is not a dictionary of slang. Powers T 22:59, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The word is notable for its social use and history. Here is a reliable sources: [9]. Those two books could also be of use, also they are not from academic presses: [10], [11]. There is probably more, those were just from the first two or three GBooks search pages. I haven't even touched GScholar. Now, the article is basically unreferenced, but that is no grounds for deletion. Just tag it as such and move on. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 15:55, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It is grounds for deletion when we have a closely-related topic already and the notability of the term qua term is marginal. Powers T 17:16, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - in a more sexist day, this was a common term that had several meanings. Once notable, always thus. Bearian (talk) 19:07, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Certainly the concept is notable, but are you claiming that the word itself is notable? Powers T 02:17, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. Bearian (talk) 19:31, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you have some evidence to support that? There's nothing in particular in the article now, and of the three sources linked by Piotrus, the first spends all of a paragraph talking about the word, and the other two are likewise about the concept of a bombshell, not the word qua word.

- Keep Not every sex symbol is a bombshell. I added in a reference to a clear definition. They were famous women who had hourglass figures, large breasts, were sexually attractive, and originally the term was only used for blondes. The article mentions this and has examples of famous women who the media referred to as "bombshells". Dream Focus 11:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SpeedyStrong Keep Nominator's reason above for deletion was "Non-notable short. No sources found". The article made an assertion of notability when nominated. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation in an article. However, the assertion of notability was easy to verify with a simple search and one click of the mouse. The nom's statement that no sources could be found and that the film is thus non-notable has been shown as incorrect. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:35, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]- And a note about this failing WP:DEL#REASON and it being worth improving under WP:ATD: It took only a few minutes and 4 edits to add the article infobox and three decent (easily found) sources through regular editing. Just sayin'. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:04, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The WP:NOTABILITY standard is simple: significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. "Significant coverage means that sources address the subject directly in detail ...Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention ... [A] one sentence mention ... is plainly trivial." There are three references in the article. The first is two sentences[14] and two sentences is not detailed, significant coverage. The second is an entry on a list[15] of BAFTA winners which is less than a sentence and is again not significant. The third is a news brief[16] about CiTV which has about a third of a sentence on this topic which is again trivial. An editor above points to a six-sentence news brief[17] from Animation Magazine. I suppose good-faith editors could debate whether six sentences provides the detail and depth required to meet the "significant" standard, but even if we reached consensus this article was significant coverage (and reliable and independent) then we would only have one source when we need multiple sources. There seems to be an assertion above that we should take winning a BAFTA children's award in the short form category as an indicator of notability (that is, that winning this award will generally result in significant coverage in multiple reliable sources). I looked at other BAFTA children's award short form winners to see what sort of sources they had -- Nick Big Green Thing (2007),[18] My Say (2008),[19] See Something, Say Something (2009),[20] My Favourite Bedtime Story 2010[21] -- and I discovered that contrary to the assertions above, we generally do not write articles on winners of the BAFTA children's award in the short form category.

- Thank you for sharing the redlinks that might encourage new articles on other BAFTA award winners if it is found that they themselves have coverage enough to suport their own articles. However, this discussion is not about unwritten articles, or who genrally might or might nore write them, it's about just this one. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 21:47, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for failing to address the lack of significant, detailed coverage and linking to an essay that you've failed to comprehend. Rangoondispenser (talk) 22:20, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, but I do comprehend just fine how to recognize WP:WAX arguments when I see them. Thus, it was your comparisons to what has not yet been written that I chose to address, specially as by doing so you shared possibilities for further growth and improvement of this encyclopedia. We have a UK series that has recieved an award notable to the UK. As the availability of significant enough coverage in multiple reliable sources has already been shown, and that the article is further improvable, I need not "address" that concern. What I do comprehend very well that the policy requirement for verifiability does not demand that all sources used to verify must themselves be "significant coverage". I further comprehend quite well that sources should be considered in context to what is being sourced, and that we do have sources "substantial" enough in context to what is being sourced (an award-winning series comprised of 10 to 60 second clamation clips) to meet both WP:V and WP:NF. For such, we do not expect the same world-wide depth of coverage that we might for a big-budget studio blockbuster. We expect, and have found, enough for what it is. The topic meets Wikipedia:Notability (films)#Other evidence of notability #3, which is repeated at Wikipedia:Notability (media) and such an award is verifiable. Again, thanks. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I accept your lengthy apology. To make a case that this meets WP:NOTABILITY you should point to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Instead of "Notability is WP:INHERITED from the BAFTAs" and "Here's a link to some WP:GOOGLEHITS, there must be "WP:LOTSOFSOURCES" Rangoondispenser (talk) 04:16, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You seem to be misapplying or giving undue strength to WP:INHERITED, which as an essay appears written to define relationships between persons by its clarifying that a person being related to someone notable does not ipso-facto create a notability through that relationship. The nutshell for that essay page suggests that an editor avoid short one-liners or simple links, encourages that editors try to make clear, solid arguments in deletion discussions, and that editors explain why an article does or does not meet specific criteria, guidelines or policies. To state simply that the series is a BAFTA winner, is one thing.... but to explain clearly that being a BAFTA award winner allows the reasonable presumption that a series is covered directly and in some detail, and the subject of independent secondary commentary and review in some manner, is just as that essay advises. Further, and further, WP:NOTABILITY has many parts beyond its use of WP:GNG, such as Wikipedia:Notability (films)#Other evidence of notability #3... and such evidences requiring verifiability as offered. Notability, even if only to the UK as evidenced through winning an award notable to the UK, is fine for en.Wikipedia. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 06:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You are still failing to address the lack of significant, detailed coverage and just linking repeatedly to an essay that you've failed to comprehend. Your ignoring all the other editors' one liners and responding to my comment -- the most detailed argument here -- with an essay warning against short one-liners or simple links is part of what makes it clear that you have little comprehension of what you are linking to. Rangoondispenser (talk) 14:44, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You were linking to an essay you apparently did not yourself comprehend, so that was what needed addressing. This is not the place to debate whether or not the GNG somehow "demands" a 3,000 word review or 5,000 word news article in order to support a 182 word article about an award-winning series about two balls of clay interacting. What IS cogent here is that other editors and myself have opined that verifiability of winning the award and the available coverage IS enough in this instance, per guideline and in context to what is being asserted. You feel you are correct and others are incorrect, but reaching consensus does not require a 100% agreement by all parties. Might we agree that we are allowed to disagree without batting the shuttlecock back and forth? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- And now you are busy building a straw man argument, rather than providing examples of significant, detailed coverage in reliable sources. Rangoondispenser (talk) 03:51, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I am not, and I have been careful to be very clear in my responses, and simply and politely suggested that we can agree to disagree. Any insistance that all sources mandated by WP:V must be themselves "significant coverage" is not per policy nor guideline. Any insistance that all coverage must be substantial in their depth and scope in order to be considered as significant is not per policy nor guideline. Multiple examples have been offered, that while brief, are not simply trivial mentions in a list and DO "discuss the topic directly and in detail". Through them we have the meeting of current definitions of such set by WP:SIGCOV... a guideline that recognizes that even a short offering in a reliable source may fall under the term significant, as significant and substantial as defined by policy and guideline are not the same thing. I agree that more and bigger would be better, but I disagree that more and better are a mandate. Myself and others have opined that per guideline and policy, and in context to what is being sourced and verified, we have enough coverage for this short article to serve our readers and the project by identifying the topic and showing through its award, just why and where and how it may be considered worthy of notice. As I have explained myself quite carefully, please accept that I now wish to drop the stick. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 06:50, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rangoondispenser (talk) 14:36, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The straw man argument is in implying that significant coverage must be itself be substantial coverage, and fails through the clarifying definitions set by policy and guideline. As significant-enough coverage in articles meeting the instruction "directly and in detail" have ALREADY been spoken of far above, and already source the improved article I need not debate the issue ad nauseum, beyond one last attempt at clarification: "Substantial" coverage and "significant" coverage are NOT the same thing.

- Comment: This page was NOT recreated by a blocked or formerly blocked user... it was created by me. I have assisted Jenna and her family by posting relevant information received directly from the family on the Internet. Other contributors have since added relevant information to make this page more useful. I don't know who put up the original page that was already deleted, but my intention was to add to the already exiting page to add accurate and relevant information according to the terms of Wikipedia. If there is a question to the accuracy or relevance of this page, inquiries should be directed to Jenna Rose and her family. It is easy to find their contact information, or I can provide it. Furthermore, Jenna's popularity has grown based on her own talent and viral videos. As of the moment I am writing this, her YouTube video "My Jeans" has over 14 million views.

- Delete. Some assorted points:
- The previous AfD is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jenna Rose, earlier this year. It was deleted, and unless the new article is substantially different from that article it should be handled at deletion review and not here.
- If the article was created by a blocked user, that's a deal-killer: we automatically delete such material even if it's good on the grounds of enforcing the block. Apparently this isn't the case, though, or claimed not to be the case, so this may be moot.
- This person is not only a minor but a very young minor (7th-grader apparently) and we are and should be very conservative about articles about such young persons out of BLP concerns. Even if the article is entirely laudatory now it might not always be so. If she retains an article and later something occurs that is not so great, there'll be an article to hang that info into. If she was clearly very notable then we'd have to have an article. But if she's only marginally notable, we want to be as conservative as possible here, I'm just saying.
- There's an article about her (here) in Newsday, a highly notable publication. There's also the Baldwin Herald (here), which I guess is a very small paper but on the other hand it's a fully developed feature-length article, just about this person. There's also coverage in Patch, which seems to be an online-only entity but apparently has a real editorial staff and so forth. They've even noted her existence in France, but that's also just a website (I don't know how notable it is). Whether this meets the WP:GNG requirement of "significant coverage" I don't know. Probably. Meeting the GNG doesn not guarantee inclusion, though.
- Is 14 million YouTube hits a lot or a little? Can anybody answer this? If it's one of the ten highest total ever achieved, that'd mean a lot more than if its just something that happens to hundreds of videos a year. Also the 14 million claim is not ref'd.
- I'm voting delete on the basis of marginal entity who is a very young minor, besides which it was already deleted. Four people (including the nominator) voted Delete there, one suggested a redirect, and nobody with standing wanted to keep the article. I suggest the person closing this discussion add the weight of their numbers and arguments when considering the outcome. Herostratus (talk) 22:40, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article tells us that the word has been used as a proprietary name for a colour of a crayon, but neither the article nor any other source I have seen indicates that it has any more general use. The only reason given so far for keeping ("Denim is a widely used material in fashion and therefore its color is notable") makes no sense at all: elephant are notable enough to have an article Elephant, but it does not automatically follow that their colour is notable, and we don't have an article on Elephant (color).

No reliable sources are in this article, nor ever have been, so far as I can tell. Some users claim that it's listed in the OED - I have not verified this, but listing in a dictionary is not sufficient grounds for inclusion in an encyclopedia. ~TPW 16:28, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I first had intention to vote for deletion because according to WP:RS: "If a topic has no reliable sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." Still, Yılmaz Öztuna is so reputable scholar that I tried to examine more sources about Yusuf and Izmail. Two of them are described in this source as leaders of nomad Nogai tribes influenced by Moscow, "small remnant of Golden Horde". I checked with Google Translate, and it says that eyalet means state on turkish language. This source treats Yusuf as prince. This source also repeatedly treats Yusuf as Nogai Prince, distinct from Ottoman Empire. This source even refer to Yusuf as Khan. This source explains in detail the situation between Yusuf, Ismail and Moscow, without mentioning the Ottoman Empire. Based on my research I conclude that Yılmaz Öztuna probably referred to some kind of Nogai state instead to an Ottoman province so I support deletion of this article.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 00:36, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This should be deleted as phooey, that will only ever be phooey.
OK, the term exists. It is used a fair amount, with absolutely no consistency, to denote something or someone that the speaker thinks is a bit English and a bit Scottish. But that's all dicdef, and covered by WP:NOT and wiktionary.
As for the rest, it is just (and could only ever be rewritten to be) original research, and highly subjective POV. Just look at the weasel wording Blair and Cameron could be described as "anglo-Scots" - well, yes, but you can describe anyone as anything you like. If I've got an English great-granny on my mum's side, I could be described as Anglo-Scots - but then I could be described as English too if that floats your boat.
"An estimated 9-10% of people living in Scotland were born in England". So, bloody, what? There's a bunch of English people resident in Scotland? There's a bunch of Scots whose parents were working in England at the time of their birth. Few, if any, of these people would self-describe as Anglo-Scots. Some will call themselves Scots, some English, and a few British.

I doubt it'll satisfy WP:V since nothing presented here will likely be allowed, but whatever. There's nothing to establish notability, but the character isn't a made up hoax, either. She's not on the new show! Kill the impure pony! 187! I don't want this article kept since no frikkin pony satisfies WP:GNG enough to have her own derpy article, but at least Merge any relevant info with that List of My Little Pony characters.

- No one said that there was doubt as to Minty's existence. WP:V demands that we base articles on third-party sources with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. Not get some trivial nugget of information from third-party sources, or discover passing mentions in third-party sources, but that we base the article on third-party sources. If the article derives most of its content from sources that are not third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, it fails to meet WP:V. In this case, you've managed to source approximately 3 sentences of material related to Minty, and those are to pretty dubious sites. This one is a satire, if you had taken the time to read it. The book would be reliable, but all it provides is the character name.—Kww(talk) 03:14, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or Merge - no significant coverage in reliable sources. --Simone (talk) 20:03, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: The fictional pony and toy does not seem to meet the general notability guideline as there is no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. All that appears with a search engine test are unreliable sources, like fan pages, primary sources or tertiary sources (like Toys and American Culture: An Encyclopedia), but there is no objective evidence of notability from reliable secondary sources that give analytic or evaluative claims about the pony or the toy. The article itself does not provide evidence of notability for the character as there is nothing related to the reception or significance of the it, only release notes or summary-only descriptions. My Little Pony as a whole may be notable, but notability is not inherited to every single content fork. This particular toy/character seems more like an an unnecessary split that does not have notability as a stand-alone subject. I do no believe that a merge is warranted since the information is barely sourced, that which is referenced falls into what Wikipedia is not and it doesn't add anything of importance to the main article. I also don't think that a redirect is necessary since the disambiguation in the article title makes it an implausible search term. Jfgslo (talk) 05:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Shot a few months after John Holmes (actor) tested positive for HIV, the most it might merit is a mention in the Holmes article as one of the last two films he ever made. However, notability might yet be sourced through Italian language reviews found about this Italian porn film under its original Italian title Carne bollente. The Times article simply confirms Holmes as having shot in Italy and engaging in unprotected sex for the film without informing his co-stars.[31] Not a nice thing to do.

Appears to fail WP:CREATIVE. I am unable to locate significant reliable secondary source coverage to establish that the subject is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique; has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews; that his work has become a significant monument, has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, has won significant critical attention, or is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. I reviewed the materials I could find which include one small article in Vecer back in 2008 [32] where the a lot of the article talks about the Prometheus group (a group he founded), and gives a little of his background including one quote about him. The article does discuss his plans to release a CD in the future, but I am unable to locate sources reviewing that CD at a later date in a reliable secondary source. The article itself was written by a member of the group Prometheus, so it does not really qualify as secondary coverage. Another source is [33] which just lists him as being part of a performance in August 2009, which would be routine coverage for a creative professional. There is another passing reference here [34] where he is mentioned as the producer, but nothing else is written about him as far as I can tell. The last is here [35] and provides a reference once again as him being a director of a performance, which is a usual activity for a creative. I am unable to find significant enough coverage in reliable secondary sources to establish notability from the sources I can locate. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep The vec.com article is not "one small article",as claimed in the nomination, but a full story--see the Google translation. It shows that he is considered important as a director. The sobota.com articles are not "passing mentions" as claimed in the nom, but a short complete article, here, the GT version and a =nother short article about this role as a director here. A mention would be something like "X was among the 5 new directors who directed plays at the festival " -- we see plenty of those, and I agree with CV that such are not sources for notability. What more could be found by looking in print sources in the appropriate language is outside my ability to determine. The article emphasizes his authorship, but i do not know what would be suitable review sources here . I am, btw, quite concerned about the misrepresentation of sources by the nom; I would be more concerned if they hadn't given the link, because the link enable people to see for themselves--so it's misunderstanding of what is "substantial" rather than deliberate misrepresentation. DGG ( talk ) 15:57, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - DGG, as noted in my nomination the first article in Vecer is written by a member of his organization. That does not qualify as a secondary source. The sobota articles are in fact passing mentions. Read them again. The first mentions him once, as being the director and then the rest of the article focuses on the fairy tale, not him. The second focuses on the play, and only mentions him once. I stand by my assessment and am quite frankly surprised you view them as a misrepresentation, and feel that you representing my nom as misrepresentation is in fact a misrepresentation (how is that for a mind bender?). We clearly differ on our interpretations of those sources. But differing views is exactly why I provided the links to the sources for others to read them and judge for themselves.

- Weak Keep Most of the Slovenian Google hits for "Branko Pintarič" are for a plumber, not the writer. This certainly does not automatically disqualify the article, but it does make the subject considerably less noteworthy than the "famous in Slovenia" label accorded to him by the article's creator:
- Google search string ["Branko Pintarič" vodovod] (plumbing) = 577
- Google search string ["Branko Pintarič" vodovodni] (plumbing) = 276
- Google search string ["Branko Pintarič" režiser] (director) = 149
- Google search string ["Branko Pintarič" igralec] (actor) = 194
- Google search string ["Branko Pintarič" scenarist] (screenwriter) = 205
Of more concern is that the article in its current form is seriously unbalanced, serving more as a tool to advance the article writer's agenda regarding the Prekmurje dialect (evident in his/her other contributions) than to provide useful information on the life and work of Branko Pintarič. Consequently, the article should be given some kind of advisory label. Doremo (talk) 13:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- 'Delete poorly documented claims of popularity on the internet. The "famous" site Wattpad is a repository for self published books and nothing more, and it would take really exceptional evidence to show something published there only to be notable. Not that being on Wattpad's hotlist would make someone notable, but she isn't even on it: , [38] . I'm more open to claims of notability on the internet than most people here, but this promotional article does not meet my rather flexible standards. There have been many 17 year old authors who have become notable; there are very fe who have become notable at age 17, and here again, exceptional evidence is required for such an extraordinary claim.

7-word dictionary definition; "Wheat is a color that resembles wheat". Not notable. bobrayner (talk) 09:35, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I think there is virtue in having all the colors from a standard color chart, even if some individual colors are not so notable.

Francis Bond (talk) 09:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I think it's a bit far fetched to have an article on every shade and every hue of every colour. I see very little potential for developing of this stub, or others like it, into something encyclopaedic. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 13:54, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Wheat is one of the X11 colors and is therefore widely used by web site designers. It is important that all X11 colors be in Wikipedia. Besides, this color has been in use since 1711. Therefore the color wheat is notable enough that it should stay in Wikipedia. Keraunos (talk) 21:40, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps there has been some confusion. I'm sure that it's important for X11 documentation to include all X11 labels for colours, but that's not wikipedia. At question here is the notability. Can you provide any sources which discuss wheat - the colour - in depth? That's what wikipedia's rules require. No doubt the rules for X11 documents are different. Looking at it from another angle, you yourself pointed to an article listing all the X11 colours in one place, which rather negates the rest of that argument; even if the standalone article on wheat were notable (it isn't), it would still be redundant. bobrayner (talk) 22:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. For reliable sources, we have citations in major peer-reviewed literature:
- Brown's text "Decentralizing Electricity" was one of the earliest works on co-generation and renewable power; it was cited often such as twice in "The energy journal, Volume 5, International Association of Energy Economists, 1984", cited in "Recasting the Machine Age" Village Industries By Howard P. Segal, Univ of Massachusetts Press, cited in Bulletin of science, technology & society, Pergamon Press, 1985, and cited in Harvard Environmental Law Review among many others. Are these notable enough?

- Public power, Volume 42, American Public Power Association, 1984, p.80, American Public Power Association
- Brown's work is archived in Stanford University Archive along with the Fuller archive, see for example Series 17. Media materials, Subseries 1. World Game Studies Workshop (Earth Metabolic Design); Opening lecture, University of Pennsylvania. Also: Presentation by Medard Gabel and Howard Brown.Also Chronofile entries Box 427, Folder 4 Dymaxion Chronofile, Vol. 747, [3 of 7]1980 Nov.-Dec., Chronofile. 1980 Apr. 7 - 1980 Nov. 14. Is being archived by a major university notable?
- Brown's consulting work was mostly done under non-disclosure, but he was among the first to promote co-generation of HVAC in plastic bottle production, and human-generated power for a Fortune 500 battery manufacturer--I am checking if these can be disclosed. If they cannot be disclosed, the claims are hard to support, but they are real and important.
- Brown has patents, I am seeing how much they were used, cited, etc. Will these bee considered notable?
- One of the challenges with Brown is a lifelong tendency to play down his role and elevate those around him; this makes it hard to find his name in publications that he oversaw... I am trying to find some more.

Long Response
[edit]About me- short intro
[edit]I am a relative newbie, this was my first new article. I am an expert in Fuller and his ideas, and I work with Fuller inspired people like Howard J. Brown . My primary objective in wikipedia is to improve Fuller articles such as tensegrity, Cloud nine (tensegrity sphere), and more, and I have experience in objective academic writing. (I will post more about myself to my page after this).
Conflict of Interest
[edit]I announce that I have a WP:COI on this article. This was not clear to me when I set out to post it. The COI is not from any financial arrangement, but due simply to my relationship with Brown which stems from my work on Fuller. I apologize for not fully understanding COI when I started. I gained that understanding while researching answers to the WP people who wrote here, I have learned more and I understand that this COI is serious and needs to be addressed.
However, the COI is subtle, so I detail here its origin and nature:
My best previous WP contribution is a summary paragraph about synergetics. It reads, " Synergetics is the empirical study of systems in transformation, with an emphasis on total system behavior unpredicted by the behavior of any isolated components, including humanity’s role as both participant and observer." This edit has remained over the years.
I begin with that to highlight that I "get" what Wikipedia is about, and want to help on Fuller-related material. It was no easy trick to write this objective summary of Synergetics. I succeeded due to my deep knowledge of Fuller acquired by spending years reading Fuller material and corresponding with fellow Fuller experts. I posted this sentence because other narrow interpretations of synergetics had come to dominate the opening, and no one included the role of the observer, etc.
Relationship to Howard Brown
[edit]Caveat: I am not posting this to share original research, or convince of notability: I am clarifying my COI.
Bottom line: I do research along with Howard Brown, into Fuller-inspired ideas. So entering an article on him seemed natural, as he seems notable yet overlooked to me, for reasons I will outline below.
Details: In the course of my Fuller studies, one expert with whom I developed a relationship is Howard J. Brown. Most Fuller experts that I correspond with are specialists in narrow, complex technical subjects such as polyhedra, tensegrity, or airsteading. Brown is an exception. He focuses on Fuller's concepts as they apply and impact on society and the economy; his approach also leads him to articulate Fuller's ideas in plain English. Driven to deepen my understanding of Fuller's ideas and history I attended courses taught by Brown and maintained extensive correspondence him in a relationship that has been one of teacher and/or colleague. Recently, as a fellow Fuller expert and technical researcher, Brown asked me to research the weight of resources in the framework of Fuller's concept of global resource availability. Fuller proposed what might be called his Sufficiency Axiom: the world has sufficient resources or "life support systems" to support all humanity. In colloquial terms, "there is enough to go around." Brown suggested to me that the truth of this axiom is clearer when business and economic models are coupled with environmental management strategy. He asked me to research details on this, and I did. This research was -- and is -- done in the same open source spirit of Wikipedia, for the mutual benefit of all of us: no money ever changed hands nor was any agenda of self-promotion ever involved in any way.
So I declare my COI, that's it. Phew, I feel better ;-) I have too little experience to know how serious this COI is--I hope it is like any enthusiast posting on a subject in which they are expert--but I assume the worst until told otherwise. Since I declare COI after creating the article, and two days after the first DELETE requests, I voluntarily desist from strongly advocating, I desist from editing the page.
Notable yes/no
[edit]Now I report, not in the spirit of advocating or convincing, but simply to share what I found in response to the delete queries above, I respectfully share here what I found.
Brown is nearly impossible to search for, not only due to his common name as Nipsonanomhmata notes; also, he is a self-effacing person.
Brown is giving a TED talk in October 2011-- TEDx Los Angeles recruited him due to his notable history with Fuller (the same history that attracted me, of course).
Brown's most notable successes are his two social ventures, World Game and RPM.
World Game is highly notable, no doubt, and Brown made it happen. Brown's role is clearly notable from Medard Gabel) repeated credits in the published works (see for example Ho-Ping). No other independent venture was crafted from Fuller's social ideas and run with constant input from Fuller. Brown and his partner Gabel translated the World Game into an educational program, gaming product and social venture organization that continued for over 35 years; see World Game for more details (though that article needs a serious update).
The notable nature of Brown's book on Fuller's design science is found here--this is like a positive review by an authoritative source--the listing by the official Buckminster Fuller Institute as a top ten significant resource on "the practice and fundamental principles of comprehensive anticipatory design science and its relevance to contemporary global issues and design practice" [List of resources, ] Accessed 12 Sept 2011.
Brown is noted in an independent source as a leader: Wendy Jedlička in her book "Packaging sustainability: tools, systems, and strategies for innovative" lists nine "leaders... in sustainable design". Each has a Wikipedia article--except Brown! Her full list: William McDonough, Medard Gabel, Stewart Brand, Jay Baldwin, Paul MacCready, John Todd (biologist), Hunter Lovins, Amory Lovins. See page 135, Google books.
The noteworthiness of Brown's 2nd venture RPM is hard to detect in conventional methods, as most of its work was done under contract and credited to its customers. Two exceptions:
- Duracell did take the unusual step of publishing its work with Brown as "Total Environmental Quality Management" in Total Quality Review v4 n3 July/August 1994.
- Connecticut Business News Journal in 1999 noted RPM's work in sustainability (note the early date!), quoting Brown's employee Gregor Barnum, now Director of Corporate Consciousness for Seventh Generation. (http://www.conntact.com/archive_index/archive_pages/2386_Business_New_Haven.html)
The notability of RPM is hard to catch--there was no cover on Fortune magazine when this small firm was purchased by RETEC of Thermo Electron Corporation. But that acquisition itself is a sign of RPM's noteworthiness, as small management consulting firms are typically not bought out in this way. There is a saying, a consultancy is worth only the value of its copy machines, meaning that it is the people and not the firm that count; but in the notable case of RPM it is the firm and its strategies for increasing resource performance while aligning environment and business needs that was acquired.
Brown's teaching at Yale University Architecture and Planning school is noted as an influence on Harold Linton, Director School of Art College of Visual and Performing Arts George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia. [Accessed 12 Sept 2011]. Brown's teaching at Wesleyan University is noted by the university's official website as critical to the innovative Science in Society Program [40].
Thanks
[edit]'Nuff said, please forgive me for learning as I go along.
Coda: Brown's article should have inbound links from relevant paragraphs from the articles on Buckminster Fuller, Medard Gabel, Environmental Management, and more, but now with my COI I am not sure I can make those links--if the article remains.
Thanks for all your efforts, hope this post is appropriate and helps! -- Lwolberg (talk) 14:12, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. This album page seems to easily pass the notability guidelines. It the debut album of the high-profile musician Wiz Khalifa, and not a, say, label-free demo or an unreleased album. It was released through Rostrum Records, which appears to be a notable label. Also, the notability guidelines for albums do not appear to be concerned with album sales, and is instead concerned about how the album was released and who made the album and stuff like that. An album could sell 40 copies after one year, yet if the album is by a band signed to, for example, Napalm Records, then I believe that the album would still deserve a Wikipedia article. I haven't come across an album guideline which states that an album needs to sell x amount in order to be notable enough on Wikipedia.

Promotional, maybe even G11, fails WP:Politician, what coverage exists relates to the election. Mtking (edits) 01:22, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I'm the author, and I made a point to make it not promotional. I did not include any of the election platform or the issues he is running on, so that it would not look like campaign spam, therefore it does not meet WP:G11 criteria for spam. As for WP:Politician - he has received considerable mainstream press recently: New York Times, New York Daily News, El Diario, the Village Voice... All well-known news media outlets, that together more than meet the "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article" requirement. JesseRafe (talk) 01:29, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:POLITICIAN, specifically part 3. Article and sources (taking out the blog sources and his own personal campaign site) seem to be dealing with the election and campaign. This would indicate that the election or campaign could possibly have an article and this could be redirected or merged into that article. There is definitely promotional material, albeit AGF accidental, in the second large section. It is entirely about who is supporting his campaign and what organizations are endorsing him. This is promotional fluff with no information on what impacts him, or what he is impacting, etc etc. This gives us a lack for criteria met to have a BLP on this subject. This is not encyclopedic and does not indicate notability in either respect. Perhaps in the future if he wins the seat he will affect things and warrant more coverage. But as it stands I do not see this subject meeting Wiki criteria for inclusion. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 04:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment True, the endorsements could be seen as being promotional, but I guess we have a different idea of what kind of content is purely promotional versus also being informative. I only added the endorsements as a way of providing more notability -- I didn't include every Tom, Dick and Jane who supported him, but just established entities and people with wikipedia articles. Perhaps editing the section is the solution rather than deleting the article wholesale. If the references to the other politicians and labor unions were removed and the newspapers remained, would that be less promotional (i.e. politicians and interest groups clearly have agendas, whereas newspapers (to a degree) are more objective in their assessment and the views of newspapers are more "newsworthy" and notable than those of pols)? JesseRafe (talk) 06:57, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete none of the sources cover him specifically, they're all talking about the election and campaign and long standing convention in these cases is merge and redirect to the election article if one exists and delete if it doesn't. Valenciano (talk) 07:25, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Only the Times article doesn't mention him exclusively, but the Village Voice, the Daily News and the El Diario articles are expressly about him, I just included the Times because it's still basically the paragon of print journalism, and mentions therein add to notability (in my opinion). JesseRafe (talk) 08:54, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Eight refs. The third, seventh and eighth aren't about him. The sixth is his campaign website, so automatically half the refs can be ignored when considering notability. The fourth and fifth are newspaper endorsements, viz: "His election could pave the way for fresh representation of our communities. We back Gonzalez’s bid." Does such sycophancy (basically a Hispanic newspaper endorsing one of their own) establish notability? I'd say no. Either way those two simply cover him in the context of the campaign. Per WP:POLITICIAN being a candidate for office is not notable and thus coverage purely in the context of a campaign also does not make someone notable. The New York Times article isn't about him. It's about the election. The Village Voice one incidentally is a blog and this its reliability is questionable. We're therefore left with no sources covering him in any depth, therefore delete. Valenciano (talk) 17:30, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Wow! I don't know if there is an actual Wikipedia Policy to cite, but I should think "Don't be racist" would be one of them. As if the comment "a Hispanic newspaper endorsing one of their own" weren't prima facie racist on its own, it's doubly ignorant because the other two candidates are Hispanic themselves. How can this vote be taken seriously with such an ignorant blatant racist such as yourself? It's really hard to be civil in response to this. Also, learn to count and read. There are not eight references, but six. And I never said every single reference was about him. The ones that aren't about him are in the article as references to the facts to which they immediately follow, i.e. his opponents. I clearly stated in my response to you which specific references were expressly about him, as not all of them were. And the article clearly states in the text which papers endorsed him and which mentioned him in articles. I am sorry for being a little uncouth in my response to you, but really? It's 2011!

- Calling me an ignorant blatant racist is certainly a violation of WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA and I'd strongly suggest that you strike or withdraw that comment. Before you speak of ignorance, you might want to have a read of the Hispanic article: "Contrary to many beliefs, Hispanic is not a race, as the Chilean Nobel Prize Gabriela Mistral once said, "mi patria es mi lengua." The U.S. Office of Management and Budget currently defines "Hispanic or Latino" as "a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race".[25] The U.S. Department of Transportation defines Hispanic to include, "persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central or South American, or other SPANISH or PORTUGUESE culture or origin, regardless of race."

I stand completely by my comments by the way, if a newspaper called the "Voice of Canadians in New York" endorsed a Canadian candidate for a seat, I definitely would be sceptical of the notability that that confers on the candidate, being mindful of WP:POLITICIAN. Incidentally, yes there are 8 refs in the article, they're even helpfully numbered one to eight at the bottom. I'll repeat, since you preferred to go off on an ill advised straw man personal attack rather than address my points, two of them are endorsements of him, worth mentioning in an article about the election yes, but not sufficient for a separate article.

And I said it was hard to be civil to you, because you're clearly guilty of bigotry saying it's no surprise "a Hispanic newspaper endorsing one of their own" when I pointed out (much to your ignorance because you didn't even look into the other candidates before coming to a racially-motivated and dismissive conclusion without considering the merits of one's candidacy and the motives behind a newspaper's endorsement) that Gonzalez's two opponents are also Hispanic (both Dominican), so why did El Diario not endorse them (it couldn't be because of something as irrelevant as the issues, now could it?. Also, yes, I know what Valencia is. It's in Spain. When did I say anything about Spain or Spaniards? Also, even if you do consider yourself to be a Latino or Hispanic in addition to a Spaniard, Valencian, Catalonian or whatever, that in no way then means that by default you can't be racist against them, ever heard of a self-loather? I referred to you as being a racist with regards to Latinos, something that I know first-hand exists in Spain (I've lived in Barca for a while and have seen how dark-skinned Mexicans are treated and looked-down upon there).

- Jesse, as I've already asked you to drop these ill advised and unfounded accusations against me and you persist, I've opened up an ANI thread as I don't see the point in dealing with Have you stopped beating your wife? style arguments.

- Gonna have to agree with these guys here, Jesse. Please peruse WP:RS, and especially WP:NEWSORG for guidance on reliable sources. Promotional items, whether in a newspaper or otherwise, are of extremely limited value in WP, and by their nature are apt to be misleading in terms of establishing notability. You need to retract the above statement and apologize to Valenciano for WP:UNCIVIL.

Or would it have to be begun again from scratch if Mr. Gonzalez became more notable? JesseRafe (talk) 05:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete because the subject has failed to achieve notability yet. In response to JesseRafe, the deleted article can be restored with its prior content at a later date. This may require a request at Wikipedia:Deletion review, but if the subject's notability becomes clear at a later date, the request will merely be a formality. Or if the subject's notability improves but is still in doubt, the page can be userfied to allow someone to work on it in their user space. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:33, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you send me the link to how to do that on my talk page? I know Mr. Gonzalez is gonna run again for City Council or something like that, and I wouldn't mind being able to save the 30 or so minutes it took to throw this all together, categories, infobox stuff and everything. It'd be great to have that in my user-space and be able to recall it later. Hopefully we can still do it while the data on JG(P) is still raw and not archived. Thanks.

- Probably best to save a copy of the wiki-text as a file on your computer (I was going to e-mail it to you but you don't have a e-mail link) as keeping of articles in user space in case they run again is not a good idea, they end up looking like a WP:FAKEARTICLE.

- Probably best to save a copy of the wiki-text as a file on your computer (I was going to e-mail it to you but you don't have a e-mail link) as keeping of articles in user space in case they run again is not a good idea, they end up looking like a WP:FAKEARTICLE. Mtking (edits) 05:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you send me the link to how to do that on my talk page? I know Mr. Gonzalez is gonna run again for City Council or something like that, and I wouldn't mind being able to save the 30 or so minutes it took to throw this all together, categories, infobox stuff and everything. It'd be great to have that in my user-space and be able to recall it later. Hopefully we can still do it while the data on JG(P) is still raw and not archived. Thanks.

Keep(Change to Delete, I misunderstood certian factors. Sorry) - We should not discount regional notability, supported by independent sources based on notability standards we expect within our own region. It is quite possible, and sources substantiate the subject of this article is considered notable within their own geographic region. Including an article, which is fully verifiable, only enhances this composite of knowledge we call Wikipedia. Judging a subjects notability by what be expect regionally, imposes our own bias upon standards which are acceptable in other parts of the world. My76Strat (talk) 06:03, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- A lot of background info here (though it is about the campaign) in this interview, http://bushwickbk.com/2011/06/29/qa-with-assembly-candidate-jesus-gonzalez/
- An interview from 11 years ago here, proving he's no johnny-come-lately, as well as other references to his radio show and excerpts and abstracts from 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009 http://www.wnyc.org/people/jesus-gonzalez/
- Just linking them here for others to look at should they choose, don't have time to synthesize them with the article now. JesseRafe (talk) 06:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The article meets WP:GNG in it's current form. To suggest otherwise is to impose a standard higher than what is already established as sufficient.

- I disagree, I don't see any coverage outside that of the election context so WP:BLP1E applies when it says Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event and if, outside of the event, that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them. so I still stand by the nom. Mtking (edits) 07:28, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Understandable, I am looking for sources beyond this single event to hopefully satisfy BLP1E, which I agree is a factor. I suspect there exists some reference related to involvement as a community organizer which can break the bounds of single event coverage. Furthermore, if it is found that the subject does not qualify for an article at this time, I favor honoring the request to have its contents userfied for improvement and republishing at a later date if and when the subject rises to sufficient prominence. My76Strat (talk) 08:17, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- (edit conflict) Look, why don't I save you some time, I am unlikely to change my mind on this for the simple fact that if there was anything out there that this guy was notable for (other than running in the election) then his campaign would have made the most of it and you would not have to look any further than his very own campaign website for all the links. Put your self in the campaign managers shoes for a moment, if it existed you would shout it from the roof top. But a look at the Our Candidate page of the website makes no real claims to notability, in fact if you posted that page as a WP page it would get deleted as A7.Mtking (edits) 11:18, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete based on the objective measure that if the election is not suitably notable or cared about enough for an article on its own, only the independently notable participants in it should have an article. Seeing as how there is not, at present, an article on the special election for the 54th state district, only those participating in it who are independently notable should have articles, and Gonzalez does not qualify.

- Keep. Monsieur Giberti is the mayor of Gémenos (evidence) and former conseiller général of Bouches-du-Rhône (evidence), which passes WP:POLITICIAN. Additional sources such as this and this are more than sufficient to pass the WP:GNG. The "discussion" on fr.wiki was simply an unopposed call for deletion, equivalent to a PROD on en.wiki, although it was correct by fr.wiki standards because they have different notability rules from us.—S Marshall T/C 11:11, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Per WP:BASIC, "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." Several sources listed above, (that I checked) pass Notability for people criterion. Furthermore, topic passes WP:POLITICIAN, specifically, "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Generally speaking, mayors of cities of at least regional importance are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city." Also, per the nomination's wording, the AfD at the French Wikipedia does not correspond with this AfD for English Wikipedia. Northamerica1000 (talk) 07:04, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is essentially a gallery of non-free images, a flagrant violation of WP:NFCC ViperSnake151 Talk 01:15, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I question that these images are all non-free. I see only four that are unequivocally copyrightable: the two elf drawings, the bulldog head, and the B in the football. The rest are all text-only logos, or generic helmet or uniform outlines used to show simple (and uncopyrightable) colors and stripes. I see that they are all tagged with NFUR, but that may have been from an excess of caution or simple ignorance; coloring a helmet orange and putting a stripe on it certainly isn't copyrightable. Unless the helmet or uniform drawings are actually non-free instead of user-generated, which we don't have a cause to use when we can draw or photograph a helmet or uniform ourselves. postdlf (talk) 04:56, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
