I'm unable to find any substantial coverage to demonstrate that the subject is notable per WP:BIO.
The majority of the sources cited are not directly related to this person work (general newspaper article, computer security conference website). The fact that he had a PhD and published few papers like every Phd student does not make him notable.
Some of its works or iteration of the same paper are listed multiple times. The majority of the article was written by phony account created just for this task (explained in the article's talk page). The article is not neutral and overstate most of this person work ("Duchene popularized computer hacking").
This article is pure publicity and self promotion, probably written by Fabien Duchene himself or one of his friend.

Strong delete She is a high school teacher who has been recognized beyond the high school, but not to the level to make her notable. If she really had the impact some people claimed in the previous deletion discussion, than we could find news articles in both the Birmingham, Alabama press and in publications based outside of Birmingham on her. Until someone can show such coverage this looks like Vestavia Hills boosterism. It should also be remembered that back in 2005 when the first deletion debate happened Wikipedia did not have as well developed rules for inclusion.I am skeptical she is a teacher at Vestavia Hills High School anymore. This has no bearing on her notability, but it would show that her notability is not enough to keep the article up-to-date which is an argument against articles on marginally notable BLPs. I have a strong suspicion that many of the people who commented on the first debate were VHHS grads who had neither a sense of actual importance of either VHHS or anything else they spoke of, or a sense of how such things mattered in the long run.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:19, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike some editors above, I have not trouble at all understanding why this article survived AFD: the world needs heroic math teachers. We all want to have great math teachers to celebrate. There is some news coverage, and she won the Phebe and Zephaniah Swift Moore Award given to great high school teachers by Amherst College. I wish the press paid enough attention to truly great teaching to make pages like this on a high school teacher viable. Sadly, I can't source it.

Seems like an extensive piece of original research and has been unsourced for the past 10 years. Furthermore: according to all the Google results, the term 'winter vacation' refers to the act of going some place else during the holidays, and holds no significance with regards to 'economical savings' or the like —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK)22:22, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if it can be properly referenced. (Yep having a bet both ways.) Actually should be uplinked to an article about holiday period and seasonal migrations by humans generally (seriously). Not just schools head towards the equator in significant numbers during winter breaks. (If it stays I might even have a go at such a collection of articles.

Delete. There is no evidence of notability. I do not regard the Deloitte placings as showing notability by our standards: they are not an award. DGG ( talk ) 20:32, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Also see no evidence of notability except for the one site that shows they are supposed specially according to clutch.co which says "... using proprietary research methodology to identify top services companies and map their capabilities. Companies are plotted on the matrix based on their proven ability to deliver and focus on a service type." Even if they were notable, article would likely require complete rewrite to not be WP:PROMO.

WP:BLP, written like a résumé and supported almost entirely by primary and unreliable sources rather than actual media coverage, of a person who has no strong claim to getting over any of Wikipedia's SNGs for any of the various fields of endeavour that he's claimed to have been involved in. Nothing about his singing supports or even really claims an WP:NMUSIC pass, nothing about his political activity satisfies WP:NPOL, and on and so forth. Article has already been speedied twice within the past ten days for lacking any credible evidence of notability, but was then recreated again a third time -- so I declined the third speedy nomination and am taking it to AFD instead so we can apply the hammer of consensus and a liberal dose of WP:SALT. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 19:20, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Source provided establishes that he is not the leader of QAT as the article indicates. His politics appears to be local/regional, and there are no news hits under either English or Sindhi forms of his name. GNG/ANYBIO isn't met, but it doesn't look like any set of notability criteria have been met to date (even acknowledging that points similar to WP:INDAFD are likely to apply). ~~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~~10:29, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because despite my good faith assumption that subject is indeed a "politician, activist, advocate, singer, Musician, poet, writer, journalist, research specialist, Lecturer and facilitator on various topic (especially on History, law, philosophy, social science, evaluation, human rights and civil rights, political education) and Human rights activist." I cannot find secondary sourcing ot support these claims.

Weak delete - Possible notability for the award it received but the subject is not covered in reliable sources and page reads like a puff piece. Meatsgains (talk) 19:42, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article is about a company, not a product, but regardless, it does not seem to have yet the needed in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to establish its notability. The award is not enough to meet WP:CORP and most of the references are not independent and the rest are standard mentions, no in-depth coverage.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 23:54, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep My own searches found the film many times referred to as a "successful" or "well received" film,[1][2][3][4][5][6] allowing me to make the reasonable conclusion that in 2007 the film received more coverage. Better that issues be addressed than the topic be deleted outright. Schmidt, Michael Q.06:40, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
CommentMichaelQSchmidt has done a great job trying to improve the article, and I had missed The Hindu Review. I'm not convinced it's quite enough, but it now appears quite borderline. Boleyn (talk) 17:52, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think this one may squeak by, based on the sources found by Schmidt. In addition to the full review in The Hindu, multiple other reliable sources mention the film in the past tense but in positive ways - calling it successful, or saying that one of the stars is still known for his role in this film. I'm inclined to think it has sufficient notability for an article. --MelanieN (talk) 00:57, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Aside from a few trivial mentions in local press, I could not find reliable sources to substantiate this group's notability. If another editor can identify reliable, secondary sources that prove this organization is notable, then I am willing to change my vote. In any event, readers should at least take a look at the profile picture from the Chico, California chapter's Facebook page: "America & Ducks -- Nothing Better" (the text appears with a picture of a duck flying proudly in front of an American Flag) ... because there's nothing more American than a bunch of ducks. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:57, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. They're mentioned in a number of books as being among the major players in the conservation of wetlands in California (see here, for example), and appear to have commissioned/produced reports which are widely used to determine usage/management of the state's wetlands. According to this book, they've leveraged $57 million for work done on more than 65,000 acres. That sounds far from trivial! MeegsC (talk) 03:25, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:GNG requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (emphasis mine). Significant coverage is defined as coverage that "addresses the topic directly and in detail" (emphasis mine). Likewise, WP:NORG also requires "significant coverage in secondary sources" and that "[t]rivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability." None of these sources discuss the organization in any depth or detail. I have seen no secondary sources that provide a detailed account of the organization's history, their significance, or their impact (see also WP:TRIVIALMENTION and WP:TRIVIALCOVERAGE). I am certainly willing to change my vote, but I would need to see a few articles or books where the California Waterfowl Association is subject. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 05:07, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing admin: The only editor in favor of keeping this article has failed to identify any sources that directly discuss this organization, its history, or its significance. Per WP:CLOSEAFD, the closing admin should weigh this against other relevant policy-based arguments for deletion listed above. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Little to no significant coverage from reliable sources. Existing sources aren't significant coverage and (or) not reliable. I see a lot of mentions here, but they aren't enough to make this company notable, fails WP:GNG. Also, seems to fail WP:NCOMP. —UY ScutiTalk19:39, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@SwisterTwister: That's not really a legitimate argument. Read WP:ARTN. That an existing article does not, in and of itself, show the subject is notable does not meant that the subject is not... the article might just suck. Not claiming this is notable, but you really should check first. Reventtalk00:08, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since the article contains nothing about notable buildings or other sites along the street, nor does there appear to be anything on the street's history that would make it notable. Incidentally, when I saw the title I thought it referred to Kongens gate in Oslo, a street which does have a plausible claim to notability. Sjakkalle(Check!)21:51, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability. I can find brief quotes from him in a number of articles (such as the LA Times one used as a reference), but that's him acting as a spokesperson for his company; he is not the topic.

Northeastern US residents sometimes use the term "Cowboy" derogatorily to mean reckless or irresponsible. Sticking the word "Cowboy" in front of the word "Coding" doesn't make it a software development philosophy. It is a Neologism - it just means the same thing as "Cowboy-anything" but applied to code.
The first attempt to delete this article failed because Google has roughly 270 hits on "Cowboy Coding." I could not find *any* that are noteworthy. Most link to this article as their source! Wikipedia has a No Original Research policy which this article clearly violates.
The idea behind this article has some merit, in the sense that there can be an absence of development methodology in the same way that Anarchy is the absence of Government. But someone needs to articulate that much better than this article currently does. The article Software Development Process:Other has a section called "Code and Fix" that seems to roughly summarize this article. Maybe that section could be expanded? Also Capability Maturity Model Level 1 seems like the same idea. Actually, I think that's the closest match to the concept of development anarchy.
One person wrote that the term Rapid Application Development is sometimes used when companies don't want to admit that they have no formal development process. Maybe a section should be added there to say a little more about that. Maybe a list of maverick software developers should be made? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlenPeterson (talk • contribs) 16:09, 1 February 2016
What makes you think that? Two entries from the c2.com wiki (see Wiki is not Wikipedia) and Mick West's personal web site (which starts its definition with a link to this article in Wikipedia) do not constitute reliable sources in my estimation. The reference to Google's 20% Time does not use the words "Cowboy Coding". I don't have a copy of Software Project Management by Hughes/Cotterell to check that reference, so it's possible that 1 out of the 5 sources **could** be legitimate. With all the programming resources available online, that is the best the world could come up with in the 8 years this article has been around? Instead of making vague "the sources are out there" statements, it's time to see those sources if people want to save this article.GlenPeterson (talk) 18:57, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You mean Ward Cunningham's blog is not a reliable source on software development terms? I added more sources from a software development website.

I just closed the first AfD for lack of response. It has been two days since the second relist and no comments other than the nominator. On this AfD, I will ask for deletion for failure to satisfy WP:NFILM, rather than on WP:CRYSTAL as argued in the first AfD.

The result was merge to Teresa Hooley. There's reaonable consensus here that keeping the article in its current condition would not be the right thing to do. Unfortunately, there's no clear agreement on an alternative. The redirect seems like a reasonable average of the various suggestions, but the redirect suggestion also included, a slight expansion of the mention of him there, so I'm really going to call this a merge. Whoever does the merge should go with the spirit of a slight expansion, i.e. don't just take all the existing text and plop it down in the new location. Rather, cherry-pick the most significant facts.
If somebody can come up with better sourcing, which would support a stand-alone article, no reason this can't be broken back out at a future time. -- RoySmith(talk)16:57, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Tricky situation here, where the article is in a completely deletable state but might be salvageable. This is a biography of a person which makes and sources no claim of notability in the text itself; as written, the entire article is actually "Subject was born, the end". Technically, that makes this a speedy A7 — but a potential claim of notability for him is made (although not actually sourced there either) in the article about his sister, Teresa Hooley: "was decorated in the Great War". That is a strong enough potential claim of notability that I don't feel comfortable speedying this without giving it a chance at rescue — but the article was created on December 7 and the creator hasn't edited Wikipedia at all since December 24, so it's unclear that asking them to beef up the article and its sourcing will accomplish anything. And, of course, even "decorated in the Great War" isn't an automatic inclusion pass if it's not properly sourceable, and also depends in large part upon what particular decoration he received — so that requires further investigation rather than conferring an automatic freebie just because it's claimed. Accordingly, I'm more than willing to withdraw this if somebody's able to get it up to snuff — but it needs to be deleted if it's just going to linger around in this form. Of course, without prejudice against future recreation if it can be written and sourced better than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:54, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I rather wonder whether the nominator did any detailed WP:BEFORE, because this book on the Battle of the Somme is the first of two entries on a GBooks search and gives a decent six-line biography of the subject in a footnote. He fought in the Battle of the Somme and, unlike most of the other officers in his battalion, survived. The decoration he obtained was the Military Cross, after later military action, and by the time he died, he had been promoted to Major. Basically, a reasonably impressive military career, but not automatically notable enough for a standalone article. A redirect to Teresa Hooley, and a slight expansion of the mention of him there, would, I think, be in order if a reliable source can be found confirming that he was her brother (I can find plenty of unreliable sources for this, and don't seriously doubt it, but...). Otherwise, we are going to need enough sourcing to pass WP:GNG - I think it worth keeping this AfD open for the moment to see if anyone can find such sourcing, but I suspect nobody will. PWilkinson (talk) 00:34, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This source (I am unsure how reliable it is, it appears to be staffed by volunteers and employed staff with an editor-in-chief) has a biographical article, fully attributed albeit to local papers, on Terah Hooley, "one of leading world authorities on lace manufacture". Terah Hooley had two sons and one daughter, Ernest Terah Hooley, Basil Terah Hooley and Teresa Mary Butler, presumably her maiden name was Teresa Hooley. In the Teresa Hooley article, she marries Frank H. Butler. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:49, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a secondary school per longstanding precedent and consensus. Educates to the school-leaving age in many countries so does count as a secondary school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:25, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I do not believe the page should be closed. It is important for individual schools to have their own wikipedia page for incoming students can refer to it as well as for logistical purposes.
Furthermore, the school is very qualified within the district. It ranks in the top 3 college-preparatory academies when contrasted with the other learning institutions situated within the district boundaries.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:200:680:1185:e233:3914:87fa (talk • contribs) 02:08, 2 February 2016
Keep as a high school. No reason to think that with local and hard copy searches sources cannot be found to meet WP:ORG. We keep high schools for very good reasons; not only do they influence the lives of thousands of people but they also play a significant part in their communities.

Grades 6-8 represent middle schools. The grade at which a leaving certificate is issued marks the boundary of a high school. In the US that is Grade 10. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Just Chilling (talk • contribs)
Just Chilling, Do you have a source for that statement? I have never heard of getting a "certification" for finishing middle school, and High school beginning at grade 10 is just plain false. Most high schools start at grade 9. Some middle schools start at grade 5. What is unambiguous is that when you finish high school, you are done with your basic education. Very few students leave school at the end of the 10th grade, and with only a few exceptions, the reason students leave prior to the end of 12th grade is failure. If you do not get a recognized diploma for successful completion, the institution is not a high school. Only high schools have automatic notability. Perhaps you are confusing UK practice with US practice? John from Idegon (talk) 20:02, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to school district It is indeed a junior high school. It is possible that later grades will be added in future years, but calling it a college preparatory school is true only in the sense that it is part of a college preparatory curriculum after the final two years elsewhere, and that it is assumed that the students in it will , when they finish in the actual high school , go on to college. I checked this in detail with their web site--see http://schools.fwps.org/pa/ , and more specifically, http://schools.fwps.org/pa/files/2015/09/201516.jpg?f5991c for their class schedule.

Comment. We generally consider all schools that educate to 16 to be secondary schools as that is the school-leaving age in much of the world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:09, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - FYI, school leaving age in the State of Washington, USA, is 18.[2] What the school leaving age is anywhere else in the world may be is totally irrelevant. No Child will ever walk out the door of this school and be done. And to those that proffered the argument "sources should exist", I ask "Where?" Local schools are rarely covered beyond locally. To nominate an article for deletion, BEFORE is required. Although in letter it does not apply to !votes, the spirit is there.

Out of 143 students who applied for the Federal Way Public Academy (FWPA), only the first 60 incoming sixth graders that Curtis called made it into the school. The other 83 students were placed on a waiting list, again, via the lottery.
...
FWPA provides students a rigorous, challenging academic program. The school’s mission is to provide a college preparatory curriculum for students in grades six through 10. About 300 students attend the small school each year and are placed through the Choice Enrollment program via a lottery. Though the school is open to all students, more than 60 percent of those who apply on average are turned away.
When she was in the 10th grade, a nun inspired Federal Way Public Academys new principal, Judy Kraft.
Sister Matthew Walker was a strict disciplinarian who taught Kraft how to write, introduced her to Fyodor Dostoevsky and Walt Whitman and quizzed the class each morning on the nightly news.
"I had to write. I had to think. I had to speak. I had to work. And I loved every minute of it," Kraft said.
Today, Kraft brings her private school education and her career as a teacher and assistant principal with her to her new job as principal of Federal Way's Public Academy.
Kraft began July 1, following the footsteps of Ray Griffin, the school's founder and first principal.
That’s already happening. Federal Way Public Schools, which is sending more than 1,200 students and chaperones to We Day, has a districtwide focus on service, which includes raising money for an adopted village in Sierra Leone.
In addition, individual schools have projects of their own. Federal Way Public Academy, an academics-focused alternative school, is sending about a third of its 306 students to We Day.
Projects at that school include the fashion show to benefit homeless teens in the Puget Sound area, and an annual carnival to help build a school in a village in Kenya.
The warehouse-type building once was home for the Deluxe Check Printing Co.
Now it's the deluxe $6 million home of the Federal Way Public Academy, an intensely focused college preparatory program for sixth- through 10th-graders.
The public can view the new campus at a dedication ceremony Thursday night.
Founded in 1999 by Federal Way Public Schools, the 285-student academy had been meeting in portables on the Illahee Middle School campus. It moved into the 34,841-square-foot renovated building in early October.
The academy stresses math, science, technology, Spanish, writing, speaking and leadership skills. Its 13 teachers focus on Socratic, seminar-style teaching which emphasizes discussion. Sixth and 10th grades were added in the fall.
Test scores for academy students are far higher than state averages.
The Federal Way Public Academy opens for the first time Wednesday to about 120 students. It is a public junior high school for smart students who want to be immersed in learning.
Students take advanced lessons in math, science, English and computers along with their choice of foreign language. There's no football team. No band. No drama club. The school is three portable units chopped up into five classrooms and one office in a parking lot behind Illahee Junior High.
Its creation was tinged with controversy from those who called the academy elitist and suggested instead the district improve honors courses at the six junior high schools.
The Federal Way School Board gave tentative approval to the academy concept in April. But the board asked academy proponent Charles Griffin to return in November with more details on what would be taught in the school, where it could be housed and other issues.
Griffin said he's been working on those details over the summer.
Griffin, an administrator at the private Annie Wright School in Tacoma, developed the idea for a public school academy for high achievers while he was working on a doctoral degree in education at the University of Washington. He proposed the idea to the Federal Way School District, he said, because Superintendent Tom Vander Ark has a reputation for innovation.
Griffin said he wants to offer the same kind of rigorous, high-standard academic work available in many private schools to public school students whose families might not be able to afford private schooling.
Federal Way Public Academy would be a small school, likely located in a portable classroom building on an existing campus. It would not offer the full breadth of classes and activities available at traditional junior high schools, but it would instead appeal to students who want to focus intensely on high-level academics.
Freshly painted and surrounded by towering Douglas fir trees, three portable buildings are home to an unusual school that will be one of the most aggressive experiments with education reform in the state.
The Federal Way Public Academy, a rigorous college-prep junior high that opens today, joins a growing network of community initiated schools. But there's a striking difference between it and the dozens of other alternative, or "choice," public schools in the state.
In exchange for extensive freedom in how they do things, academy officials have signed a contract giving the School Board the right to close the school in two years if it fails to meet the high standards it has promised to attain.
...
Under its contract with the district, the Public Academy will handle its own budget, staffing and programs - a practice becoming more common across the district as it strives to form a system of choice schools, officials say.
With an annual operating budget, including staff salaries, of about $1 million, the school will receive the same district funding per student as other schools, Isaman said. It just has more flexibility in the way it spends it.
A divided Federal Way School Board granted approval for a small college-preparatory academy Monday night.
The board voted 3-2 to approve the Federal Way Public Academy, which is to open to 120 seventh- and eighth-graders in September 1999.
Board members Holly Isaman, Linda Hendrickson and Jim Storvick voted to approve the school, while board President Ann Murphy and board member Joel Marks were opposed.
The school is designed to offer a rigorous curriculum to high-achieving students from throughout the school district. It was proposed earlier this year by Charles Griffin, an administrator at the private Annie Wright School in Tacoma.
He developed the idea for a public college-prep school while working toward a doctorate at the University of Washington. He has said he wants to offer the same kind of high-standard academic work available in many private schools to public school students.
The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local (as in - with a circulation limited to a single city or metropolitan area) media, or media of limited interest and circulation (such as trade journals), is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.
The Seattle Times article hat still does not show notability beyond the immediate region. This is a perennial problem for the local coverage by major newspapers, The other articles are press releases wherever published. DGG ( talk ) 06:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Rename The term "Heavenly Hundred", which refers to the killed Euromaidan protestors, has gotten some substantial coverage in English sources[14][15][16][17], the Ukrainian government has named an award after them and several memorials have been built. As such, I'm not particularly convinced by indiscriminate arguments, since many of the deceased fall within a clearly defined and notable group. I think it would be preferable for the article to be written primarily about the Heavenly Hundred with a list of the specific members attached under a collapsible at the end. If we wanted to go this route, then a lot of the information needed to build an article about the Heavenly Hundred already exists within the current article; we'd just need to re-arrange, re-word and snip a few things here and there, plus do some general clean-up.

Keep - I think it should be renamed to "Heavenly Hundred" because it is the common name for these people and ussualy these people are mentioned as "Heavenly Hundred". There are some reasons to keep the article:
This article is about the extremely notable thing in history of Ukraine. These people changed history of Ukraine for a future century. Notability of this article is absolutely obvious: "Heavenly Hundred" have been written about and shown in hundreds, if not thousands, newspapers and TV-news in nearly every country of the world (in Ukraine, in USA, in UK, in Poland, in Germany, in Lithuania and I can write thousands of these links). It have been much talken about in whole world, and was on a front of ukrainians mind for the the first half of 2014. They been mentioned by many politics, not only in Ukraine, but around the world. There are even movies about them. The notability of this article is colossal.
Nearly all of them were recognized as Heroes of Ukraine which makes them even more notable.
It is not just a list, here are a lot of facts. In this article the list itself takes a bit more than a half of page with other half being facts, and there are enough facts for article to exist even without the list.
Wikipedia pages are not: ... 4. Memorials. Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements.
Mark this: must satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. This article perfectly satisfies Wikipedia's notability requirements. This rule is about not creating articles for any person dead and is the particular case of the rule of not creating articles about yourself or your friends.
Keep - It seems to be that some misunderstanding of the rules took place. There is clearly written in the rule, that articles about deceased people could not be created only if this people are not notable. Since there are 120 references on the page in question, its notability is undisputed.--Trydence (talk) 12:42, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Venue capacities are uncited causing WP:VER issues, inclusion criteria is selective causing WP:OR issues. But the biggest issue under the LISTNOTABILITY guidelines is that the subjects of the list don't appear anywhere else together. Probably because of the unclear inclusion criteria, the list subjects have not "been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". Which is what WP:LISTN guidelines expect. If not deleted, at the very least, the content should likely be merged/redirected to one of any number of (less subjective) existing lists - like List of Irish theatres and theatre companies and/or List of Irish cultural institutions.

Keep I would not merge to Ornua It is no longer a subsidiary of Ornua nor is it operating the same business in the US as Ornua operates in Europe. DPI is a food distributor. Ornua is a manufacturer of dairy goods. The article is still in its infancy and although it only has an overview and ownership sections at the moment, it can evolve into a more detailed article in terms of its history, customer base, etc. The company is large in terms of revenue and has a significant workforce and history according to the sources cited. One of its competitors, UNFI has a Wiki article as well.Expandinglight5 (talk) 19:40, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ornua, formerly the Irish Dairy Board, has sold a majority stake in its US speciality foods distribution business DPI for an undisclosed sum.
California-based DPI Speciality Foods, which sells gourmet, ethnic and organic foods to retailers, quick service restaurants and foodservice operators, through eight distribution centres across the US, is to be acquired by Chicago-headquartered Arbor Investments. The transaction closed on Monday last.
...
With approximately 1,800 employees and annual revenues in excess of $1 billion, DPI is one of the largest specialty food distributors in the US.
Dairy co-op Ornua - formerly the Irish Dairy Board - has sold a majority stake in its US specialty food distribution business DPI Specialty Foods.
The buyer is food & beverage private equity firm Arbor Investments. The sale price was not disclosed but Independent.ie understands Ornua has made a gain of over €30m out of the deal, and is holding on to a 20pc stake.
Ornua chief executive Kevin Lane said the proceeds would be invested in Ornua's core business of building routes to market for Irish dairy products. It will maintain a minority stake in DPI.
Headquartered in Ontario, Calif., DPI Specialty Foods is a principal supplier of top quality perishable and nonperishable food items from five continents.
DPI Midwest is an importer and distributor of specialty perishable and non-perishable products to the retail deli/bakery food service market.
...
DPI Midwest has been in Arlington Heights since the mid-1970s and currently employs about 140 people. It is owned by the Irish Dairy Board, and its hallmark line is the Kerrygold brand.
A subsidiary of Source Perrier S.A., which also owns Sorrento Cheese Co. Inc. of Buffalo, has sold its Distribution Plus Inc. group to an Irish company, An Bord Bainne.
The Perrier subsidiary, Societe des Caves de Roquefort, said it has sold an 80 percent equity interest in DPI, which is headquartered in Roseland, N.J. DPI markets, sells and distributes refrigerated foods found in the dairy and delicatessen sections of supermarkets.
DPI will continue to distribute products manufactured by Sorrento in the United States and by Society des Caves de Roquefort's subsidiaries in France.
Distribution Plus, a wholesaler and distributor of dry and frozen specialty foods, operates in a 67,000-square-foot building just east of that site. The current facility, built in 1956, could be sold or kept as storage space.
The company, once owned by Skandia Foods, serves grocery and convenience stores; hotels; and private country clubs in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Distribution Plus makes 6,000 deliveries a day.
According to The Irish Independent, "With approximately 1,800 employees and annual revenues in excess of $1 billion, DPI is one of the largest specialty food distributors in the US." This fact and the sources I've presented here strongly support that DPI Specialty Foods is notable and should have a stand-alone article. Cunard (talk) 04:39, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
They are not mere notices. They provide "deep coverage" of the subject, which has "approximately 1,800 employees and annual revenues in excess of $1 billion" and is "one of the largest specialty food distributors in the US" according to The Irish Independent. From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Depth of coverage: "Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization."
The sources describe the company's history and its products, so it is possible to "write more than a very brief, incomplete stub" about it.

Hi, author of this article here - I'm doing my best to create a non-biased article about this company. At the advice of some of the editors I've made the article as neutral as possible, and I'm happy to continue editing the article if needed. I do believe this entry fits the criteria as notable - it's been written about in many credible news sources, and is a legitimate entity. Please let me know what more I can do to fit the Wikipedia guidelines. Thanks, Evan Evkatz4 (talk) 17:06, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Evkatz4, you asked what you can do. The main thing you could do would be to find good sources. Right now you have 2 patent sources (patents do not support notability, see wp:corp on that); 2 articles in the Memphis Daily news, which is a local paper and notability requires at least regional but preferably national coverage for companies; and 1 short blog post from the Dallas Morning News which doesn't say much about the company. When I do a lookup on Dermaflage I mainly get a lot of sales sites. So all of that adds up to -- not notable (at this time). If the product is new then it may be notable some time in the future.

Completely unsourced article about an organization, whose strongest claim of notability ("Canada's largest") cannot be verifiedanywhere but its own self-published content about itself. I searched both Google and ProQuest for improved referencing, and came up bone-dry. In ProQuest, for example, it gets just two hits on its current name and five on its former one — but all seven of them are just glancing namechecks rather than substantive coverage of the type it would take to pass WP:GNG or WP:ORG, and exactly zero of them support the "Canada's largest" claim. And a Google search doesn't bring up any valid sources that aren't simply duplicates of the ProQuest hits. An organization is not entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because its own primary source web presence verifies that it exists; it must be the subject of sufficient coverage in reliable sources to satisfy Wikipedia's inclusion and referencing requirements, but this simply isn't. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 03:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
keep the Proquest articles - here are 2 anyone can access [18], [19], from a major Toronto daily, so verify that it is a large tract of Chrisitan recreational-use land. Similar older stuff in the Canadian papers [20], [21]. Those articles point to the fact that it operated a "Camp Widjiitiwin", and that does produce sources [22]. Two of the pastors self-published a book in 2010 Muskoka Miracles: 80th Anniversary By John F. Holliday; Richard D. Holliday [23], not useful for notability, but could help with sourcing and certainly puts this place in the category of Chataqua-like church camps of that era. Overall I'd say that the place can be sourced, it just needs sourcing. expansion. an editor with an interest.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:08, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An article about this band was previously deleted in September 2010, but this one was created in November 2011 with different content. Over four years later, this band still fails to assert notability by lacking to garner any significant coverage from reliable sources independent from the subject and still fail to meet any of the criteria of WP:BAND. They are simply not notable. — ξxplicit07:31, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Article considered for deletion, however according to wiki guidelines:
Composers and performers outside mass media traditions may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:
4. Has composed a number of melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable genre, or tradition or school within a notable genre.
So, is metal, korean metal, melodic death metal, melodeath, melodic death core or korean death core considered a notable genre? How else is one considered noteable without being cited in journals such as Wikipedia? really. They were the only ones to get a foot into metal hammer and other publications (interviews) to get people to come have a look at others or allow others to dream of a career in music, reaching beyond the peninsula.
The Metal Hammer article is titled "Fatal Fear. South Korea: Brit frontman goes Far East Beyond Driven." It notes:
South Korean band Fatal Fear have just finished recording their second album. Hammer spoke to vocalism Ernon 'Ed' Edward Campbell: "We took a break after our show in Seoul where we supported Arch Enemy and recorded some new music," he explains. While Ed visited family in the UK (he's the only Brit in the band), the rest of the band were in the studio writing and recording. "We added the finishing touches in February after I returned to Korea."
The new album follows their 2006 and 2008 demos and a 2009 EP, Apocalyptic Crusade, all released via their own independent imprint, Realize Records, who have signed bands from the Far East (Korea, Japan, Indonesia) and some from Europe (Sweden, Germany and France).
The band is completed by guitarists Blind666 and PigxHead, bassist Kim Ssung and drummer Wook.
...
They currently have their sights set on Europe and the UK, having had a great response to a track placed on the UK-based Microblast compilation in 2009.
Hailing from Busan, South Korea and featuring a Canadian on drums and a British-born vocalist of Polish and Jamaican descent, Fatalfear’s slamming melodic death metal has a truly international flavour. It’s one thing to come up as an underground act who were fortunate enough to land that big gig supporting a metal sensation but it is quite another to have achieved such a milestone in a country where the metal scene is virtually unknown other than to the artists which operate within it.
...
Active since 2004, things really came together last year when singer Ed rejoined the fold as vocalist following the departure of frontman Wan-U (who now fronts hardcore band Gwamegi). With Campbell the band recorded an E.P. “Apocalyptic Crusade” and played their biggest gig to date supporting the mighty Arch Enemy in front of one and a half screaming metal fans in the South Korean capital Seoul. Ed relates.
...
2010 has seen the addition of Canadian-born drummer Kirk Martin to the fold as well as the band gaining a slot on the UK-based compilation “Microblast 2”, which was their first release on these shores.
Powerplay is a niche rock and heavy metal music magazine from the UK, which is not to be confused with the ice hockey publication of the same name. With plenty of interviews with rock legends, reviews on new releases and interesting features on new developments in the industry we think any fan of rock and heavy metal music will love Powerplay magazine. It is released every month and likes to feature the best players and singers around at the moment.
Buy a single copy or subscription to Powerplay Magazine. Current issues sent same day up to 3pm! All magazines sent by 1st Class Mail UK & by Airmail worldwide (bar UK over 750g which may go 2nd Class).
This establishes that Powerplay Rock and Metal Magazine is a print magazine.
Does anyone know how to enter a wiki discussion (page for deletion)?
The Bands page is up for deletion and, the main reason is that there arent many reliable sources (aside from the page scan from metal hammer?!?) which is a result of the scene being virtually unknown globally...due to pages like this getting deleted (see where im going here) We were the only band to be featured in the magazine EVER from Korea...that i know of, and its one of the top magazines for the genrer of metal in the world....so, its something that should remain for others to follow/be inspired by etc...also, the band never formally disbanded. just on a ong term hiatus and I no longer live in Korea (might again in the future, though no plans to at present...as my wife is Korean and I have been chatting with Guitarist Jin-Su about working on tracks over the internet while we are both involved with diofferent projects in our respective locales)
Of particular note is the sentence "We were the only band to be featured in the magazine EVER from Korea...that i know of, and its one of the top magazines for the genrer of metal in the world".
If citation information from the Korean magazine EVER could be provided (the date the article was published), then this would be a third source about the subject.
KyloWrenCubeJedi, would you provide this information and any other articles from reliable sources about the band? Two sources are enough to establish notability, but additional sources will strongly establish that the band passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
Comment - I requested reversal of the NAC because although likely unintentional, it looked like a supervote, and perhaps more importantly this discussion doesn't look to have either a clear consensus or an obvious lack thereof such that, to me, an NAC seemed inappropriate. Thanks for re-opening. I was evaluating the subject while it was being closed and formed an opinion, but I don't want it to seem like I asked for it to be re-opened just so I could get my !vote in, so I'll abstain. It was a "weak" one anyway. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 23:43, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. In regards to the links provided by User:Cunard above, I'll reiterate the point I brought up on User:Valoem's talk page. There are four links presented: a now-deleted images on Commons, an article by Powerplay Rock and Metal magazine of the band, a link to Newsstand that verifies that said magazine is published physically, and a link to the band's Facebook page where they make an unverified claim ("We were the only band to be featured in the magazine EVER from Korea...that i know of, and its one of the top magazines for the genrer of metal in the world"). Since one isn't about the band at all (Newsstand) and the other isn't a suitable source for a WP:BLP (Facebook), that shrinks the usable amount of sources down to two. Searching the Korean portal Naver (both 'Fatal Fear' and '페이탈 피어') doesn't bring anything up on them; the latter search term brought up articles about Fear (1996 film) instead. WP:GNG nor WP:BAND guarantee an article on the subject: "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included; Musicians or ensembles may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria (boldfaced emphasis mine). Fatal Fear and FatalFear were created and largely maintained by at least one band member (User:Dreaded209 which is the name of vocalist, User:Cuwoo7 who was blocked as a sockpuppet, User:MetalModX, User:Korean metalhead, and User:KyloWrenCubeJedi, who have all been single-purpose accounts), which also points to a conflict of interest issue. This band has been active for 12 years and coverage is nearly non-existent, despite searches for sources in both English and Korean. All these factors combined suggest that this band does not meet notability requirements, not by a long shot. — ξxplicit01:39, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself
Delete The supposed significant coverage in reliable independent sources is fleeting and trivial. This is just another one of uncounted tens of thousands of non-notable rock and metal bands worldwide, and trying to spin brief passing mentions into notability does not fly with me. That's my sincere evaluation. Cullen328Let's discuss it07:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Fleeting" in this context means the lack of ongoing coverage, Cunard. Truly notable bands will be covered repeatedly in reliable sources as their careers develop. Most of the content of these two articles consists of quotations by band members which is not independent coverage needed to establish notability. What remains is standard promotional fluff extracted from the band's social media or press releases. There is no evidence of original reporting or truly significant coverage. That is what I mean by "trivial". I know significant coverage when I see it, and as I evaluate the matter, I do not see it here. Cullen328Let's discuss it16:15, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is necessary to have ongoing coverage per Wikipedia:Notability#Notability is not temporary ("Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of 'significant coverage' in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage.").
I think the sources still amount to significant coverage with the quotes removed. I disagree that "There is no evidence of original reporting or truly significant coverage." For example, in Power Play Magazine, author Ross Baker wrote:
Hailing from Busan, South Korea and featuring a Canadian on drums and a British-born vocalist of Polish and Jamaican descent, Fatalfear’s slamming melodic death metal has a truly international flavour. It’s one thing to come up as an underground act who were fortunate enough to land that big gig supporting a metal sensation but it is quite another to have achieved such a milestone in a country where the metal scene is virtually unknown other than to the artists which operate within it.
This is independent, third-party analysis of the band. The author calls its music "slamming melodic death metal" that has "a truly international flavour". Author Ross Baker marvels that the band started as an "underground act" that got lucky with a "big gig" and has achieved a "milestone" in Korea, a country where "the metal scene is virtually unknown". This is original analysis.
The article further discusses this "big gig":
Active since 2004, things really came together last year when singer Ed rejoined the fold as vocalist following the departure of frontman Wan-U (who now fronts hardcore band Gwamegi). With Campbell the band recorded an E.P. “Apocalyptic Crusade” and played their biggest gig to date supporting the mighty Arch Enemy in front of one and a half screaming metal fans in the South Korean capital Seoul.
...
2010 has seen the addition of Canadian-born drummer Kirk Martin to the fold as well as the band gaining a slot on the UK-based compilation “Microblast 2”, which was their first release on these shores.
It chronicles the band's history and comes across to me as "original reporting".
Likewise the Metal Hammer discusses the band's history.

This article (half of which is a directory listing the websites of various Pakistan Student Associations) does not, as far as I can tell, actually discuss one single Pakistan Student Association which should function as the mother of all others. I can find no evidence of such a national organization (I'm citing DGG, who declined the speedy), and throwing in the supposed founding date, 1947, doesn't help either. All the hits I found are for specific associations at specific colleges. In other words, either the PSA is not a notable organization, or there is no single PSA, only lots of PSAs all over the world.

Requesting deletion per this discussion. To elaborate: I had created this article some time ago after reading about [the real cave] in an adventure magazine, here in Sri Lanka. It sounded very notable (not just because of the movie), so I went ahead and created a stub on it. Back then, I intended to add refs to the article after creating it, but had somehow forgotten. I now cannot find any verifiable sources to support the fact that this is/could be a real cave.
I propose to delete this article as I cannot find any reliable source that states that this is in fact a real cave. Rehman13:33, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I support User:Rehman's proposal. From my knowledge of caves and caving accumulated over 50 years I was always sceptical about the reality of this cave (believe me, caves don't remain partially explored for very long!), and looked hard in the specialist literature for evidence of its existence, and asked various people who have been on caving expeditions out that way if they knew of it, without success. All the information on the web about this cave seems to have been extracted from the original Wikipedia article! --Langcliffe (talk) 15:37, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- He is said to be referred to in two ancient works, one of which deals with semi-legendary (not necessarily historical) events. The question is what then two sources say about him. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I added references to mentions in the Puranas and the Mahabharata in English. They are not extensive, but this may be a case where we want to retain and hope for more extensive references in local languages as those sources are central to much of Indian mythology. His name is transliterated in a number of ways, some of which I've added above and at the article. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 18:14, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't seem like a notable company. The references here are all press releases or quote spamming without real significant coverage. I can't find evidence that the AVA Digital Award is actually notable and I'm not certain about Silicon India and all the other awards here. Ricky81682 (talk) 10:59, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article is not in accordance to WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH policies. Most of the references mentioned do not talk about the company in particular and can be considered as "Passing Mention" sources.

The result was delete. While there's assertions that the coverage of this story meets the notability guidelines, few editors have endorsed that position despite one editor making it continually. On the other hand, despite some of the delete votes being weak, there seems to be wide agreement that this is only routine coverage given the nature of the crime. Lankiveil(speak to me)13:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTNEWS. Clearly a tragic event but article evidently created due to status of alleged offender as an "illegal immigrant". PROD removed by creator with rationale of "the second time in a single week that I open the New York Times to find a story about a murder in Italy, I figure it's probably notable" - clearly confusing routine news coverage with lasting notability. Unfortunately, globally, many people are murdered each and every day. No evidence this stands out from any other crime AusLondonder (talk) 03:36, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The assertion that the coverage is "routine" is a falsehood. btw, the New York Times does not devote 2 stories even to murders that take place in New York, and Olsen was not a New Yorker. American and British papers do not give this kind of coverage to "routine" murders in Italy.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:06, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Local news story with international cable news overhype due to where the victim was from; otherwise a thin article overall with no hope of expansion. Nate•(chatter)04:58, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As someone who follows the media as a hobby, it is overhype, and the 'intense' coverage is certainly almost never of the neutral observer type, but always bends to tabloid. I stand by my rationale. Nate•(chatter)04:56, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

529 homicides in one year which equates to 1.4 homicides a day. There have been around 46 days this year. That means in Italy this year 64 homicides have already taken place. In the case, there should be 64 articles about murders in Italy. Let's be honest - the only reason this article was created is because suspect is an "illegal immigrant" and it suits the agenda of certain editors, the right-wing press and Faux News AusLondonder (talk) 17:40, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because the suspect, Cheik Diaw, is under arrest and will be tried, and because the case has generated substantial international coverage [25], not to mention national coverage, [26], [27], [28] as per WP:RAPID it would be reasonable to keep this article for now and revisit in a few months to see how much attention the case has drawn.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:55, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
— Note to closing admin: E.M.Gregory (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.
Also coverage in the Italian national-circulation papers such as La Republica has been far from routine [29]. Presumably because crimes allegedly committed by migrants are among the most notable and controversial topics in Europe.E.M.Gregory (talk)
Comment Please don't bring rash xenophobia into this discussion. This is pretty much a local murder case with the usual 'an American died' overamplification that cable news and the network morning show 7:30 murder blocks seem to have a fixation on (along with the inane connection to a Knox investigator). The La Republica coverage also seems to be routine, the same way many murder cases with only minor interest sometimes get a check-in by a national paper.

The article is sourced to 2 separate article in the New York Times, to The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Beast.

Re: "xenophobic anti-immigrant" and re: WP:POVPUSHING. I have no doubt that "xenophobic anti-immigrant" sentiment have a great deal to do with the massive coverage this murder has received. Nor do I doubt that teh enourmous amount of cobarage involves Missing white woman syndrome which WP defines as : "a phrase used by social scientists and media commentators to describe the extensive media coverage, especially in television, of missing person cases involving young, white, upper middle class women or girls.... the media's undue focus on upper-middle-class white women who disappear," albeit, this one was murdered, not missing. That is precisely my point. We weigh articles on crime according to the amount of coverage in RS that they generate. Arguing as editors above do that, it should be deleted because this "'intense' coverage" smacks of "rash xenophobia," and " xenophobic anti-immigrant WP:POVPUSHING" is,in fact, precisely the kind of WP:POVPUSHING that I have tried to avoid in wording the article. To whitewash Wikipedia by cleansing it of the reality of the massive media and political focus on crimes that prosecutors and the press suspect of being committed by migrants (as Nom has attempted the last few days to do here: Rafik Yousef, here: 2016 Sweden asylum center stabbing, Category:Terror attacks committed by paroled Islamic Terrorists, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015 New Year's attack plots and elsewhere is WP:POVPUSHING and a violation of WP:NOTCENSORED.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:17, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here are sources on suspect's illegal arrival in Italy during the 2015 refugee crises: [35], [36], The Daily Telegraph says: "The arrest of an immigrant for the high-profile murder, which evoked comparisons with the killing of British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia in 2007, is likely to fuel the debate in Europe over crime and immigration, particularly in the wake of the mass sexual assaults in Cologne and other cities on New Year’s Eve." [37] AusLondoner, please check facts before making assertions.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:17, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It fails WP:LASTING and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. Even in Italy, where xenophobic parties are quick to exploit such cases, it generated little controversy, much less than the Palagonia double homicide. WP:RAPID recommends waiting "for a few days" "to allow time for a clearer picture of the notability of the event to emerge". After a month, the case has not "acted as a precedent or catalyst for something else" and has disappeared from national news coverage. Nykterinos (talk) 00:50, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It was in yesterday’s news because… the victim’s family protested against poor news coverage. Nice paradox. The fact that, unlike this case, the Palagonia homicide generated controversy in Italy doesn’t mean that it warrants an article on Wikipedia: actually, it fails WP:LASTING and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, too. Ironically, none of these articles could ever be created on it.wiki without being deleted. Nykterinos (talk) 10:41, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your use of the sources is WP:SYNTH at best. None of the sources you cited claims what you make them claim. As the case lacks notability, you’re trying to invent a non-existent relation to the European migrant crisis or a non-existent “wide discussion” on it. Nykterinos (talk) 10:41, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
More could be added to source what you consider SYNTH, but I have lengthened the section with quotes from the New York Times and The Telegraph (Note) that the section Nykterinos disputes was always supported by sources. Please familiarize yourself with topic and sourcing before making inaccurate assertions.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:38, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note that this is the 2nd time an editor arguing vehemently for deletion has argued for deletion by making false assertions, And that the rest of the editors argue on the basis of NOTNEWS. I understand the political vehemence. But the coverage of this crime has been enormous.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:41, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please learn the difference between "enormous" and "notable". Simply spamming us with links (which often repeat the same wire copy or the wording is reconfigured to meet the source's journalistic style, which is very obvious between the Guardian and Telegraph stories) does not make a story more enormous, along with generic 'scare quotes' where the writer quotes generalities like '(they) were a (good/bad) person'. And Senegal is far from the epicenter of the crisis, in western Africa. Nate•(chatter)14:38, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I came here because there was a link from the Murder of Meredith Kercher. The cases are not comparable yet; this article appears to be a tragic but commonplace murder with run-of-the-mill detective work. MoMK had prosecution of American roommate and her boyfriend for killing British roommate in Italy, dubious evidence, conflicting experts, and substantial polarization of the community. So wait until this story shows WP:N. Glrx (talk) 02:22, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@E.M.Gregory: - How do we credibly measure what is going on in the so-called "court of public opinion"? Also, what do you believe constitutues "massive press coverage"? A dog-whistling opinion article in an openly racist and borderline fascist tabloid newspaper? AusLondonder (talk) 17:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment 529 homicides in one year in Italy which equates to 1.4 homicides a day. There have been around 46 days this year. That means in Italy this year 64 homicides have already taken place. In the case, there should be 64 articles about murders in Italy. Let's be honest - the only reason this article was created is because suspect is an "illegal immigrant" and it suits the agenda of certain editors, the right-wing press and Faux News AusLondonder (talk) 17:40, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take the first example, the Irish Independent. Two mentions from the Press Association, one from Reuters. No evidence they appeared in print. AusLondonder (talk) 18:12, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, that's why papers subscribe to Reuters. Here is the Reuters coverage: [43]. But my point that these are not "facist tabloids". Although as regards notability, tabloid coverage does count. Even tabloids whose politics you dislike. Now, please put down you WP:BLUDGEON and let other editors take a look and do their own assessments.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:33, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's ironic that you accuse other editors of WP:BLUDGEON, when half of the comments on this talk page are yours. The sources you continue citing only prove that international (and national) news coverage stopped a few days after the event: no WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, no WP:LASTING effect. Despite what the Telegraph thought was "likely" one month ago, this case hasn't fueled any debate in Italy, let alone in Europe. Nykterinos (talk) 20:58, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to this? It's a questionable WordPress blog that has no obvious editorial oversight; hardly a reliable source. Articles on Wikipedia require multiple third-party reliable sources per WP:GNG, not a single, questionable source with no significant coverage whatsoever. As far as WP:BIO goes, the article doesn't come close to meeting that notability guideline. As the article's creator I understand not wanting to see the article deleted, but the article doesn't even come close to meeting any of the relevant notability criteria for an article on Wikipedia. - Aoidh (talk) 02:02, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or Redirect to Rai Fiction. This is a tough one. The reference currently in use here, from tvblog.it, may or may not be RS - I can't read Italian. But a Google translate of what seems to be that website's "About" page, taken along with the very use of the word "blog" in the domain name, suggests that probably, it is not. I also managed to stumble across this webpage [50], which again, I can't entirely discredit, due to language limitations. There appear to be two different websites in play here: Aulamanga and Satyrnet. Google translating the "About" page of Satyrnet suggests that the website is a portal to other websites, Aulamanga being one of them. It may very well be that these are RS, and hopefully someone fluent in Italian can make that determination at some point. But I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping Clic and Cat as a standalone article, solely on this basis. The only other potential reference of note that I could find is this "case study". [51] It actually contains a fairly detailed breakdown of some of the show's production information. No "inside stories", but some facts and figures that could easily be used to get a decent "Production" section off the ground. Here's the problem though - the report focuses on the show's use of a software program called Toonz, and the company behind Toonz appears to have published the report. So while this could mark a quality primary source for fleshing out any potential future article on the series, it can't confer notability.
Lots of digging around revealed that Cineteam, one of the production companies behind this series, is actually responsible for an Oscar-nominated short film from back in the 1970s. So it would be great if we could create a Cineteam article, and then mention this series on that page. And maybe some day, that will become possible. But I had no luck in finding any usable refs for the company. As for the other production company, Rai Fiction, I have no idea whether it actually meets WP:GNG either, but the article at least exists. If we need to have a deletion discussion about that article as well, we can, but let's take one step at a time.
It's worth noting that "Clic & Cat" is not actually "Clic and Cat", but rather "Clic and Kat". Whoever created this article got the spelling wrong - lol. I've done Google searches for both variations and have only found the above linked articles. It would be nice if someone familiar with Italian sources could evaluate TVblog and Satyrnet, as well as look for other sources that may be hiding away out there. --Jpcase (talk) 14:50, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I've also discovered that there's a third production studio behind this series; one not mentioned in our article. It's called MatitAnimatA. The case study by Toonz, as well as the Aulamanga / Satyrnet article both mention it. MatitAnimatA's official website [52] has a "News" section, but when I try going there, it's entirely blank. So...maybe it's just aspirational, haha. Someone else should give it a go though, before we write it off entirely, as it could just be a glitch on my end. --Jpcase (talk) 21:27, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
P.P.S. Scanning through the first few pages of Google search results for MatitAnimatA, the only article that appears to provide significant coverage is this [53], which seems to be an interview with one of the company's founders. Whether the interview is conducted by an RS or not, I have no idea. It took me awhile to even find an "About" section for the website, but this [54] appears to be what we want. If Google translate can be trusted, the website's content is contributed by "experts in their field", which if genuinely true, would mean that the interview more or less meets RS criteria. I also came across a few articles (like these [55][56]), which appear to be from professional publications, but from what I can tell, they're essentially just event listings. Moving on to Google News, there are only three results altogether, but each of them is relevant to the topic. This one, which I think is from an university website, appears to be about an academic panel that someone from MatitAnimatA participated in [57]; this one appears to simply be about a workshop that the studio was involved with [58]; and this one appears to be about the studio's contributions to a psychiatric children's hospital. [59] It would be far beyond the scope of my abilities to create an article for MatitAnimatA, what with the language barrier and all, but if an Italian fluent editor ever takes an interest in this topic, then these refs might be of some use. Without further findings, notability is rather tenuous, but I personally wouldn't challenge the creation of an article for the company - especially if the interview is indeed an RS. --Jpcase (talk) 23:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
