Unreferenced for 5 6 years, and unnotable outside of being "that thing that Art Alexakis did before he started Everclear." This belongs as one paragraph in the article about Everclear, and is not notable enough for its own article. Jinkinson talk to me 22:21, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Project of little notability and highly questionable scientific merit. Seems they released a press release that got tons of coverage in 2007 but nothing since then. The group seems the total definition of WP:FRINGE they don't even have a domain name they simply host two very messy sites on free hosts. [6] [7] Ridernyc (talk) 20:35, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Further digging revels that the majority of links on the groups site are broken. Not only are they broken they never worked, the URLs point to folders in a local user folder on a windows PC. The links that do work all lead to various other DNA projects all linked to FamilyTreeDNA who will gladly include you in the DNA project of your choice if you purchase a very costly kit from them. [8] There were a ton of these DNA project pages all started by the same editor, most of which have been deleted long ago. Ridernyc (talk) 23:47, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Roanoke Colony as a short final section. The colony had settlers, who just disappeared; no one knows where or why. The project was initiated in 2007, and the lack of anything on its results makes me believe that there have been none, because the research. Some projects based on a surname produce spectacular results, implying a common ancestor. Others (dealing with common names, such as Harris; similarly Jones and Smith) are doomed to failure, becasue there will be too many people called Harry at the period when surnames were becoming fixed. I have a volume inot which somone transcribed numerous parish register entries concerning people with the surname King, but most are unrelated. The theory is that the settlers were captured by (and perhaps intermarried with) native Americans is an intriguing one, but the possibilities of (a) finding collateral descendants of colonists and (b) of local indians and (c) of picking out matching DNA characteristics, from a mass of "noise" from perhaps 15 generations of subsequent breeding must be vanishingly small. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:46, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Roanoke Colony I agree that this should indeed be a section there, and, if more information comes to public domain and raises notability, then it may qualify for a stand alone reference. I agree that it is important, but right now believe it would be better served to have this merged into a more thorough and complete parent piece.

Ridernyc, the project is volunteer-run group funded by meager donations. Its website is amateurish and on a free host, but I don't see this as pertinent to an AfD nomination, which is based on notability. (This page has working links; this is their facebook page). I haven't seen any published criticism of their research, so I'm not sure what you're criticizing as fringe science. The group's newsletter articles on genetics seem well-grounded, and their genealogy research seems predictably tedious. Some members of the group have different and controversial theories about what became of the Roanoke colony, and an article in The Scientist quotes an anthropology professor who works with the group as disagreeing with Estes' (one of the group's founders) hypothesis about the colony's native assimilation, but hypotheses are not claims of fact.
Peterkington, I don't see the group's lack of a substantive or conclusive discovery as being pertinent to the AfD nomination. Research like this is a slow, ongoing process.
“A press release in 2007 and nothing since then.” From what I could find, there's been limited book, magazine and newspaper coverage, and Estes published a 35-page journal article on the topic. The differing names involved may have thwarted your research; the project seems to be informally called the "Lost Colony DNA project", or more formally the "Lost Colony of Roanoke DNA Project", and is run by a group informally called the "Lost Colony Research Group", but also called the "The Lost Colony Genealogy and DNA Research Group", and more recently the "Lost Colony Genealogy DNA and Archaeology Research Group" (they've been involved in several archaeological digs as their scope expanded).

Good research. Instead of deleting, why not add the comments here as a note to the article. Folks would be forewarned before considering paying money for anything, but the article would remain as a point of excellent information. The plan to use DNA would go a long way toward resolving a long-time and intriguing mystery about early colonization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pi4911 (talkcontribs) 02:25, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete. At the most one of the "keeps" comes from an account which has not been conclusively shown to be a sockpuppet, most of which appear to have been created specifically to try to rig this discussion, and even that one has to be suspect. However, even if we ignore that, and don't discount the sockpuppet "keeps", the result is still "delete", because none of the "keep" arguments stands up to analysis. A source, even if reliable, is not evidence of notability of an actor because it covers a film he was in, and briefly mentions his name in a credit. The "delete" comments, on the other hand, do contain clear arguments that the subject is not shown to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:22, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is sad. A promising sample: "He began writing and performing original theater pieces and this led to being cast in his first lead role for director Ela Troyano as "Angel" in the critically acclaimed[1] film Latin Boys Go To Hell[2][3][4]." It's critically acclaimed? If link 1 isn't Rotten Tomatos-style metacriticism, this is odd: providing just one source suggests that it's instead a matter of a film critically acclaimed by this or that one writer. The link is to the LA Times; I took a look. No, this article doesn't acclaim the movie so much as trash it. This of course doesn't matter in itself: you can notably appear in a terrible movie and get through it with honor intact. But somehow the transparently fictional acclaim for the movie puts the entire Wikipedia bio in doubt. (Incidentally, "critically acclaimed" dates back to the very first version of this article, which has had a convoluted history that I can't claim to fully understand.) There's much else in the biography that is simply unsourced, or sourced to a website that can be freely edited. And above, MarkDavidson222 and CMGLA add more unsourced claims -- that he "Has large fan based "cult" following among the gay and lesbian community," etc. (When I can make sense of the claims, that is. What are "Reliable community works"? What "Stand[s] alone"? In "Strong Credits End", is "credits" a noun or a verb, and either way what does this sentence mean?)

  • Lots of SPA work above! The article says "He co-stars opposite Damian Chapa as "Victor Garcia" in the film Dark Crossing,[3] a movie about one man's perilous journey in surviving the dangerous world of Mexico's drug trafficking to rescue his sister who had been illegally kidnapped." It's hard to find anything about this movie, but a slightly larger graphic for it is visible on this page. The design of the graphic suggests that the two costars are Bardo and Osuna; that Bryant Davila appears in it but doesn't costar. Morenoodles (talk) 07:35, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument would be more convincing, DIZwikwiki, if you did some work towards its improvement. After all, it's not going to improve itself.

Most of the sources, such as the LA Times, NY Times, and Variety articles, in the article talk only about the movie Latin Boys Go To Hell, and only passively mention Bryant. IMDb is not a reliable source for biographical information, and neither are YouTube and Blogger. The rest of the sources only passively mention Bryant, or don't mention him at all. The sources do not indicate that this person meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Specifically, the guideline on actors. Bryant has only made a significant appearance in one possibly notable film, not enough to satisfy the criteria. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 03:30, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It seems that the first discussion was nearly three years ago. Articles like this will improve over time after inclusion. He and his work have been covered substantially in reliable independent sources such as Rotten Tomatoes, Variety, NY Times, Timeout, LA Times. For Bryant to meet WP:NACTOR #1 States= Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. He meets this criteria. For example, he starred as "Angel" in Latin Boys Go To Hell[16], starred in two Damian Chapa films, as "Hector" in Chicano Blood [17][18][19]and as "Victor Garcia" in the upcoming film Dark Crossing. [20][21] [22] This is in addition to minor roles in many other films. "Other productions" can be understood to mean music videos, commercials, and digital media. Here too he meets the criteria. After digging around here is what I found: an innovative and award-winning HIV prevention transmedia campaign “In the Moment” developed in partnership with LA Gay & Lesbian Center and the City of West Hollywood. In it he stars as "Carlos" for 27 episodes and there is even an episode in which he enters a same-sex marriage [23][24][25] He is in yet another online web series called "Sk8 Or Die" which is a zombie/skater "Choose your own Adventure" story by Sunny Boy Entertainment. Here he played the lead role "Forest" in all six episodes [26] I found that he stars in a few music videos, such as a music video by award winning Grammy musician Kirk Franklin, as the veteran soldier returning home in a wheelchair. [27][28] and another video alongside British singer Leona Lewis as the love interest in "I Got You" [29] Finally his work includes over a dozen commercials for well known brands such as Wendy's, Freeway Insurance, T-Mobile, Wrigley's, Samsung among others. [30][31] [32] [33] [34] [35] It also includes advertisements in magazines, and found at subway and bus stations in Los Angeles and New York. In conclusion I think he's cute, and he is a good actor. I have seen Latin Boys Go To Hell and am an avid watcher of the online soap series In The Moment TV. I feel he meets the criteria as a notable actor with reliable credits.

Hello brand new editor! You say "He and his work have been covered substantially in reliable independent sources such as Rotten Tomatoes, Variety, NY Times, Timeout, LA Times." Choose any two. Provide links to pages there that provide substantial coverage of him or his work in films or commercials. (Skip coverage of those films or commercials; instead, his work in them. And skip the links to Youtube, blogs, etc.) Do that, and I'll reconsider my decision (a short way below). Morenoodles (talk) 07:45, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Satisfies GNG. In addition to the sources in the article, there is also this. James500 (talk) 23:26, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment' In what way does he satisfy WP:BIO or GNG? And the book you link to is just some family's book of genealogy, and the snippet just shows his name is mentioned. It takes more than that to demonstrate notability. Edison (talk)
    He satisfies GNG in that he has received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. There is no indication that the book that I linked to was written or commissioned by the family in question, it contains information that is not genealogical (despite its name) and the snippet that I linked to mentions more than just his name. As for "It takes more than that to demonstrate notability": There are several pages of three books cited in the article. That prima facie satisfies GNG. Go through them one at at time and tell me exactly what is wrong with them. James500 (talk) 05:12, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tigner also satisfies WP:POLITICIAN ("members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature") in that he was elected to a state legislature several times. See [37]: "In 1888 Mr Tigner was elected as a representative to the state legislature ... In 1902 he was again elected to represent his county in the state legislature, and served in the sessions of 1902, 1903 and 1904." James500 (talk) 05:51, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. per James500. State legislator. Enos733 (talk) 17:24, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • That fact was mentioned in one of the sources cited in the article. Please read WP:BEFORE if you have not already done so. You should read the sources cited in an article, and, if those do not indicate notability, conduct a thorough search for sources, before nominating that article for deletion through AfD.

P.S. Like SJ above, I also wish there was some "official website" we could link to that wasn't primarily a pledge drive. Also: I found a cautionary note at a science blog, which calls into question the project's expertise and approach, and suggests that raising money might be the ONLY thing this partnership does well.[38] However, that is an anonymous blog and not a Reliable Source. Even though the founder/CEO of the Immunity Project joined in the discussion, I doubt if any of it can be included in the article.

Article is a memorial to a non-notable military nurse. While it is unfortunate that she was the first American nurse to die in combat during Operation Iraqi Freedom, we don't keep biographies for people "notable" for just one event. damiens.rf 18:22, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Still curious to see anything about her that is not dependent on the unfortunate event of her death. The article does not covers that. Neither does the keep votes above. Does any reliable source do that? --damiens.rf 09:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mercy11, the Bronze Star award offers no notability whatsoever. Neither does having a clinic named after someone. Your comment in (3) is mistaken because the "leaving her mark" referred to, aside from being flowery feel-good language, is the WP:ONEEVENT. - The Bushranger One ping only 12:36, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I'm not sure about this. The first American military nurse to die in combat since the Vietnam War may make her notable, but many of the other claims are just not enough for notability. The first Puerto Rican nurse to die in combat? Are we also to have articles on the first Italian-American artilleryman to die in combat? The first Alaskan motor mechanic to die in combat? The Bronze Star? Fourth-level decoration dished out like sweets. Not high enough for any sort of notability. We require a first-level decoration or multiple lower level decorations for notability. A plaque on a building? Oh please! Eulogies? Pretty much anyone who dies in combat gets those, and naturally her gender and ethnicity are going to play a role here. Borderline notability at best based on her status as a rare nurse killed in combat (although she barely qualifies, as she wasn't in combat herself - she was unlucky enough to be hit while walking through the base), and that's all. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:40, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - 1. Being the first American military nurse to die in combat since the Vietnam War does make her notable.
    2. The Bronze Star Medal is the fourth-highest individual military award. It may be awarded for acts of heroism, acts of merit, or meritorious service in a combat zone.
    3. The U.S. military does not place plaques on its buildings as an eulogy. It does not honor just anyone who has died in combat. Only those who are highly notable for their actions are honored, otherwise there would be hundreds of thousands plaques all over the place. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:41, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have no idea what point you're making with point 2. Do you honestly think we should have articles on everyone who's been awarded the Bronze Star? We regularly delete articles on individuals awarded the Distinguished Service Cross or Navy Cross, for crying out loud. The Bronze Star is two levels below that. As to point 3, there are millions of commemorative plaques all over the world to people who wouldn't be considered notable enough for Wikipedia. It doesn't prove anything just because this one was put up by the US military. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:32, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • (1) Nope. It doesn't. (2). The minimum award to confer notability for being awarded would be multiple Silver Stars. When it comes to notability the Bronze Star is utterly irrelevant. (3) A plaque confers no notability whatsoever. - The Bushranger One ping only 12:36, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Maybe there are millions of commemorative plaques all over the world, however this not the case. The United States Army named a clinic (building) in her honor and that is where the plaque was placed. The United States Army does not name a "building" after just anyone. This is a long lasting recognition and honor which is within the notability polices of Wikipedia. See: [39] Tony the Marine (talk) 17:56, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Sources found in the article showing significant coverage of the subject, including the Washington Post article, are enough to meet our general notability guideline.--Jmundo (talk) 20:53, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A person can be notable either locally, nationally or internationally. Just because a person is not known internationally does not mean she is not notable. She is considered a heroe and notable among the people of Puerto Rico. Antonio Martin (talk) 00:53, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. At least two of his papers, "Multiple factors causing Holocene lake-level change in monsoonal and arid central Asia as identified by model experiments" and "Holocene environmental change in the marginal area of the Asian monsoon: A record from Zhuye Lake, NW China" had relatively high citation counts on Google scholar for such recent work (though not high enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF#C1. But drilling down, I find that many of these are self-cites. In any case he may well be on-track for a successful academic career but it's too soon to tell, and too soon to make an encyclopedia article. As for the likely COI, having a professionally lit portrait like that one labeled as "own work" flags the uploader for me as someone who plays fast and loose with rules — it seems very unlikely that the same person who took the photo is the one who would be writing such an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:23, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is the second AFD on these players, and the Admin who closed the previous AFD took people to task for lumping together these players. It's quite clear that Bell is notable, and given that Bradley played for a dozen years, some at the highest level of Irish football, with over 250 appearances, then it's hard to imagine that he wouldn't meet WP:GNG if a thorough search was done. These aren't a bunch of 18-year olds, where little material will be found, but long-term players, where significant research is necessary to establish notability.

I mean no disrespect towards Walsh as a person, as a Wikipedia editor or as a chair of the Wikimedia Foundation. I am sure she is good at all these things. But the article currently contains no independent sources at all to indicate she is notable, only links on the Wikimedia Foundation's own website. I was able to find an article she co-wrote in the Washington Post, as well as a brief mention in the New York Times, however it seems to me that Ms. Walsh does not meet WP:BIO, especially as the Washington Post article isn't really independent as she (along with Jimbo) was one of the co-writers thereof.

  • Redirect to Wikimedia Foundation or Delete. However, if we delete this page, we'll probably need to clean up several other pages, too, as this is part of a series on Wikimedia chairpersons. To suddenly have a hole in the sequence is a bit off-putting, and a few of them are equally non-notable. As far as Kat Walsh goes, I noticed a few trivial mentions scattered throughout reliable sources, but there really doesn't seem to be anything like significant coverage. I'm sure she does good work, but I don't think holding a position with the WMF makes one inherently notable. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Your smug condescension is not conducive to an adult discussion. This person bio will be held to the notability standards of this project just as anyone else's bio would be; we should not carve out exceptions or name-drop WP:IAR for Wikipedian insiders. This is purportedly an encyclopedia not a clubhouse for our buddies, so yes, we do have to follow the project's rules here. Tarc (talk) 00:57, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Smug condescension" is a rather terrible way to start off a conversation. I suggest you just look at the facts - e.g. the number of times she's appeared in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. Smallbones(smalltalk) 22:56, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The Chair of the WMF is not an inherently notable position, so we must abide by WP:GNG and WP:N. The sources before the recent additions were already lacking, and the additions have not alleviated that concern;
    1. law harvard.edu: The subject's posts to the wikimedia mailing list are cited in the footnotes for a paper, nothing more.
    2. Politico; a 1-paragraph announcement of the appointment, amidst nine other news-of-the-day blog-like posts.
    3. CBC Radio: Participant in a podcast about the Wikipedia, not about Walsh herself.
    4. businessweek.com: Just a directory listing of WMF personnel, nothing more.
  • Keep - WMF itself is news, so how much more so is its chair. Even if she (or anyone else) was not notable, I'd say for the sake of transparency, it is necessary to have information about the person and the position available. -- kosboot (talk) 04:58, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
While I put forward the IAR (i.e. common sense) argument above and fully believe it, I'd prefer folks just address the facts, e.g. how many times she's appeared in major newspapers. Some people don't like WP:IAR and some people are just averse to common sense!
Counting just the major independent sources there are:
  • 2 cites from the New York Times
  • 1 from the Wall Street Journal
  • The op-ed in the Washington Post (reprinted in a college textbook)
  • The twin Canadian Broadcasting Company broadcasts
  • an academic article with info from Walsh
  • a short listing at Bloomberg Business Week
  • a short piece from Politico.com
Tarc might argue that 4 paragraphs in one NYTimes article is not substantial, but
Quoting from WP:BASIC
"A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published[3] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[4] and independent of the subject.[5]
  • "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability."
Smallbones(smalltalk) 22:56, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also from WP:BASIC; "trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability", and the coverage found can certainly be labeled as that. IMO the blinders need to come off here; the heads of the WMF are just regular people who are subject to our notability standards just as anyone else would be. They are not on pedestals, they are not to be deified. Tarc (talk) 23:19, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I admit that my feelings are not terribly strong on this matter and that if a majority wants to delete, so be it. That said, I also believe and have always felt that WP's notability guidelines with regard to people is excessively restrictive. There should be more people, *especially* those who don't belong in an encyclopedia but who make a mark on life and culture. -- kosboot (talk) 20:25, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - A redirect just seems potentially confusing. Even in the highly unlikely event that anyone ever looks up this character, they wouldn't be looking for "Emily Osborn"; they'd be looking for Harry Osborn's mother.

I have to agree with NukeofEarl that a real person with this name is more likely to get a search than Harry's mother, so we should definitely delete to avoid confusion. Spidey104 16:20, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

keep Biggest ever non-FIFA tournament (12 teams) with coverage in media in at least 20 countries including Swedish prime time news, national radio, Canadians largest Francophile newspaper and many more. If more sources are needed I would happily add them. Just added about 10 for now from major media in different languages. Best reason to keep it and the reason I made it is that this seems to be the biggest and most notable non-FIFA World Cup ever. It has more teams than any other, it has all the "powerhorses" and with Nagorno-Karabakh and Abkhazia 2 of the not-recognized nations included. Regarding the fact it is still 5 month before kickoff the media echo seems amazing, too. I found tons of articles in all kind of languages about that. I am really looking forward to it. Besides there is only very vague info (tbh: only speculations and no info) in the article about the 2014_VIVA_World_Cup so that it seems this one will not happen. So this ConIFA thing is probably the "new" legit World Cup for those teams. NikauTokelau (talk) 13:57, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP . CONIFA World Football Cup 2014 is the official World Championships for teams outside FIFA. The tournament have massive global media interest and you can find huge articles about the tournament and CONIFA in general in TV, Magazines and Radio in Sweden, Canada, Germany, Italy, France, USA, Unikted Kingdom, India as examples. The World Football Cup 2014 will be produced in a high professional way: 8 HD cameras, professional TV crew and producers and broadcasted worldwide through TV and Internet and have already today a huge global interest. This is also the biggest tournament ever outside FIFA. 12 teams participating from 4 continents, a huge cultural and youth exchange program with multiple youths from Europe and Russia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.162.82.227 (talk) 16:51, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ConIFA has more than 20 football associations as member, it reaches hundreds of players and thousands of footballfans all over the world, from Zanzibar to the Isle of Man, from Nagorno-Karabakh to the Sapmi. There will be 12 teams at the World Cup in Ostersund. They all will send at least 25 people to Sweden. Although we are still more then 4 months before the kick off, ConIFA reached a lot off media, in Sweden, Germany, Belgium and Italy. There were already a lot of articles in newspapers and magazines, ConIFA got prime time on national television in Sweden. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.200.148.100 (talk) 17:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

keep I must say I am very surprised that this one was even proposed to be deleted. For what reason ? I mean, how can you rate that one as not notable ? As my predecessors said it is the biggest ever non-FIFA tournament. I am a huge fan and follower of non-FIFA for a couple of yours now and this one surely is the big deal we are waiting for since day 1 of non-FIFA. Wiki community once decided that non-FIFA football in general is notable. If so this tournament is the most notable thing inside non-FIFA.

Seems a GNG pass to me.

  • Weak delete. Too little evidence of academic impact for WP:PROF#C1, and as director of certain programs within a business school several steps too low an administrative position for #C6 (dean of the school would not be enough). The sources listed above by Otongcia seem aimed at WP:GNG but the Forbes India one is by her, not about her. The other three are all interviews with her rather than articles about her, and their content appears to be entirely promotional rather than going into any detail about her life or accomplishments. So I think the WP:GNG case is much stronger than the WP:PROF case, but I don't think it's been adequately demonstrated yet. I'd be willing to change my mind if similar level publications also contained profiles about her rather than just interviews. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:21, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fair notice: I first noticed the lack of RS and coverage about Kotaku after another editor pointed it out to me, albeit not with the intention to have it deleted. In any case, the problem here is that while this is certainly a very popular site and something that you could use as a reliable source, there really isn't a lot of coverage that is specifically about the website. Popularity doesn't translate into notability, it just makes it more likely something will gain coverage. Other than a handful of articles such as this one, there really isn't anything out there to show that Kotaku passes WP:WEB. They are on a CNET list, but it's a fairly large list and not really the type of thing that would give absolute notability. I do love the website and I've used it for sourcing in the past, but I have to say that I don't think it passes notability guidelines. If anyone can find reliable sources that talk about the website in depth, I'm willing to be swayed. With the risk of launching a potential lengthy argument from fellow fans of the site, I just don't see anything that goes into depth to show that this passes GNG.

Sad that he died, but a dead protester isn't really notable per WP:GNG for just ending up dead. Wikipedia isn't a memorial wall. ColonelHenry (talk) 08:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Peaceful protester was gunshot by Ukrainian Police. This person is notable by the fact HOW he was died. People should have access to the truth all over the world about the events happening in Ukraine. Many liars would like to deny the fact of death of this person and other person. Many liars would like to present protesters as extremists or Ukrainian nazi or something like that. Existence of this article would let keep all of them silent and would help to stop them from more lie. Definitely vote for keeping this article present. --Patlatus (talk) 11:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable? It's undoubted that his death makes a big resonance in Ukraine. Only five quotes from the Internet:

Буду добиватись, щоб площу назвали іменем Нігояна, - Бригинець
I'll strive to name the square in Kyiv after the name of Serhiy Nigoyan — MPs Briginets[1]. (in Ukrainian)

У Дніпропетровстку вшанувують пам'ять загиблого Нігояна і хочуть назвати в його честь вулицю.
In Dnipropetrovsk people are commemorating deceased Nigoyan and wants to name a street in his honor[2]. (in Ukrainian)

Фракція ВО Свобода у Львові пропонує присвоїти звання почесного громадянина міста Львова п'ятьом загиблим активістам на вулиці Грушевського в Києві, повідомляє прес-служба партії 23 січня. Повідомляється, що звання громадянина міста хочуть привласнити загиблим Сергію Нігояну, білорусу Михайлу Жизневкому, активісту Юрію Вербицькому і ще двом невпізнаним загиблим.
...It is reported that the title of citizen of Lviv want to assign to the murdered Sergiy Nigoyan...[3] (in Ukrainian)

У входа в здание они установили портрет погибшего в столкновениях с милицией 22 января в Киеве активиста Сергея Нигояна.
At the entrance of the regional government building in Khmelnytskyi protesters hired a portrait of murdered by police at January 22 activist Serhiy Nigoyan[4]. (in Russian)

Нігоян віддав життя, яке стало символом України, — Вакарчук.
Nigoyan gave his life and became a symbol of Ukraine — Svyatoslav Vakarchuk[5]. (in Ukrainian)

Yes, I agree that the article should be fulfilled and YOU are welcome to do that while it's not the best way to waste time for giving references here, not in the article, especially if there're enough interwikies where from info can be taken in more easiest way than from google search.
If You read the quotes, maybe You can understand that there're a resonance for that death. BTW, in ukrwiki and ruwiki there're additional articles for the lists of murdered people. As I see, in enwiki there're some lazy people for whom the easiest way is to nominate an article for deletion than to contribute it. They're even not wasting time for reading the arguments. At the evening I'll complete the article. It's a pity for me that people don't want to do something to improve the article and wants from someone else to make the article better. Maybe somebody doesn't know (or have forgotten), so I'll remind that in whole Ukraine millions people are protesting, more than 21/2 month center of the capital is under protesters control (there're no police), government buildings in different regions of Ukraine are captured by protesters. Serhiy Nigoyan is first murdered activist by government forces. The resonance of that I've described above.

Non-notable local politician. – S. Rich (talk) 03:51, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This really should be kept but I hate it when people say "keep and improve!" and then go on their merry way so that the article survives the AfD and then just sits there status quo ante bellum. I have no intention of devoting energy to improving this, otherwise necessary, article so just put it out of its misery and recreate it later when someone who's interested comes along.

Efforts to establish notability of this planned development project have not been successful. Article has evolved from mostly promotional, to somewhat-neutral but written about a seemingly non-notable location. Does simply existing make a development project worthy of inclusion in an article? Does this article attempt legitimize the subject, so that the subject can be promoted? Where is the significant coverage from independent reliable sources? Please see this relevant discussion Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could no longer care Hello, I'm the guy who made all these UK embassy pages. I'd like to thank you for your consistent attempts to delete the pages I made as it has more-or-less completely put me off contributing to Wikipedia and as such I've resolved to find better ways to use my free time. As such feel free to do what you like with the embassy pages as I could no longer care and have better things to do. sdrawkcab —Preceding undated comment added 13:03, 26 January 2014‎
See, that I find staggering. We have an article about the non-notable embassy but not about diplomatic relations between the two countries between which there were one, two, three wars and a treaty all before 1920! And everything since! Crazy stuff. Stalwart111 05:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - there doesn't seem to be anything notable about the embassy itself as a physical building or as an institution. To sdrawkcab - if you have a particular interest in these things, maybe start with the diplomatic articles rather than articles about non-notable landmarks around London's suburbs. It takes quite a bit for a building to be notable but relations between two countries like that is a no-brainer. Stalwart111 05:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - I put in an extra sentence; maybe it contributes to the notability of the building.Jeff5102 (talk) 13:47, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The small article does not purport to say very much. What little it says seems well sourced and might satisfy the curiosity of somebody, somewhere. (Indeed, it satisfies my curiosity. I'm fascinated by the sight of conspicuously lavish expenditures on diplomacy by impoverished nations.) It's not promotional and has little risk of becoming promotional. Yes, as Stalwart111 says, it is indeed absurd that WP has this article but not Afghanistan–United Kingdom relations; however, for this imbalance we should blame the lack of the relations article rather than the existence of the embassy article (which of course does nothing to discourage creation of Afghanistan–United Kingdom relations). -- Hoary (talk) 00:48, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
satisfying curiosity is not a criterion for notability. the sources are rather routine, one confirms the embassy exists, the other confirms it has been there since 1922, the other says it was closed for a few decades and the other confirms a former resident. all WP:ROUTINE. LibStar (talk) 00:55, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you are probably right. If only it were not in London but instead somewhere in, say, the Star Trek "franchise", then it would probably be "notable". Meanwhile, I'm adding the occasional drib or drab to this reality-based article. -- Hoary (talk) 04:51, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I'm still looking for sources and I'll see if WP:INDIA can find anything in foreign language sources, but there seems to be quite a bit of coverage out there. It's not as notable as its earlier counterpart Chhota Bheem, but it does seem to be a fairly popular series spanning a wide amount of films and merchandise. I'd have suggested a merge with Chhota Bheem, but there's just enough coverage out there and the series is large enough to where I think a content fork is somewhat necessary.
