Amishi Jha

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

This page is a BLP of a US academic who studies the neuroscience of meditation. The subject is a non-tenured assistant professor, whereas WP:ACADEMIC criterion 5 requires appointment as a full professor with tenure and generally a named chair. (I speculate that the subject may very well, in time, pass notability, but that is not a valid keep argument for now, per WP:CRYSTAL.) The page in its present form is sourced entirely to primary sources associated with the subject. The page discusses local university awards for teaching, initial primary publications, and research funding (including one publication commemorating funding from the US Dept. of Defense); we typically do not accept any of these as satisfying WP:ACADEMIC.

I have searched for independent secondary sources that might indicate notability per WP:GNG, independently of WP:ACADEMIC, when added to the page. I find two, and I think the decision here hinges on whether we decide that they are sufficient. The first—link—is a book titled Rapt: Attention and the Focused Life by Winifred Gallagher. It includes a short passage in which the subject is interviewed. The interview focuses on stressful events that occurred in the subject's life (which, for a non-academic layperson, would usually fall under WP:ONEVENT), and some of the subject's academic research, which is characterized as in its early stages, not as completed findings that are having any kind of impact. The second source—link—is an interview with National Public Radio. The transcript shows the subject talking with a Zen monk, and, like the book, describes the subject's research as early-stage: "She's still combing through her preliminary data...". WP:ACADEMIC note 14 states that "Criterion 7 may be satisfied, for example, if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area. A small number of quotations, especially in local news media, is not unexpected for academics and so falls short of this mark." (I know from my own real life experiences in academia that university public relations departments routinely seek to place their faculty members on news reports.) It seems to me that the NPR interview falls short of establishing the subject as having, at this time, an influence that would establish notability for our purposes, even if she might well become notable in the future. It's a close call, but this seems to me to be less than the significant coverage required by GNG.

I have additional reasons for bringing this AfD, and for writing this unusually long nomination. There are currently efforts such as this to encourage academic scientists to participate in Wikipedia, and I anticipate that we will be seeing an increase in bio pages such as this one. (I note that all of the major edits to the page have been made from accounts that have only edited the page or made links from other pages to it.) Whatever we decide here, it will be useful to ~~set a clear precedent~~ have a clear understanding for the near future. If we accept pages like this one, there will be a motivation for them to proliferate: "I should be promoted to tenure because Wikipedia has an article about me." I fear that there would be a risk of COI. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:42, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Delete. GS gives h index = 11, in the bordline region. Article may be too early. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Weak delete. The subject will probably meet WP:PROF criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed) in the near future, but not yet. While the h-index is only 11, the subject is a co-author on three pubs with citations above 100. However, only in one, the least cited of the three, is the author the first or last author.--Eric Yurken (talk) 02:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and per Eric Yurken. Tone of article is way too promotional and we don't usually include info in such bios about some article being accepted in some journal (not even Nature or Science). Although this can be easily remedied by 5 min of editing, it seems evident that this article was created just a bit too early. --Crusio (talk) 02:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. With all due respect, this is another poster-child-early-academic article. The subject might be notable sometime in the future, but is not yet. Specifically, most notable academics seem to satisfy WP:PROF on condition #1 – essentially, a body of research that has had notable impact on the field, usually as judged by number of research articles and number of times these have been cited. I'll point out that there's at least one other individual with a similar name in this same academic sector, so it's possible that some searches will give false positives. Since this is a "hard science" field, I think WoS may give the most accurate result. The following very specific search "Author=(jha a*) Refined by: Institutions=(UNIV PENN OR UNIV CALIF DAVIS) AND [excluding] Authors=(JHA, AK) Timespan=All Years. Databases=SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, A&HCI" gives 13 journal publications (plus 10 abstracts) for an h-index of 7. Neuroscience is a fairly high-publication, high-citation specialty in the biomedical sciences, suggesting these statistics are not particularly impressive. Rather, I think they're very close to what you'd expect at the assistant professor level. The article also mentions grants and internal teaching awards, but here again these fall squarely into the "expectation" column rather than the "notable" column. The overall picture is very clear. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 15:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Delete I would normally do an analysis of the publications, but Agricola's analysis is in my opinion perfectly correct and leaves me nothing further to add. But we do not need to set a precedent, for we have many precedents: almost always articles like this have been deleted. The only exceptions have been when the work has for some reason been [picked up by the media, often because the topic is of popular public appeal. And sometimes, of course, an Asst. Prof could be notable, but almost by definition the level is specifically intended for people who have not yet shown notability. The questionable area is the typical Associate Professor. They have often not been kept, but some of us, including myself, would extend notability to such careers especially at the best universities--but there is no real body of opinion here for extending it this far. I would expect the Society for Neuroscience project to have the sense to start at the top, where there are hundreds of missing articles. DGG ( talk ) 04:51, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: as noted, will likely become notable in the future, however, WP:CRYSTAL makes that moot at this stage. The edits primarily seem to be from single purpose accounts (or accounts very close to such a designation). Vincent Valentine 23:08, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Governors Towne Club

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

This club appears to fail notability. The text is still written promotional, as are the supposed references from the Atlanta Journal. The club may be somewhat notable on a local scale but I fail to see the need for an article on Wikipedia. De728631 (talk) 22:02, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per A7 - this article about an organisation does not assert the notability of the subject. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The newspaper references are sufficient to establish notability. This thing is bigger and more conspicuous than the average suburban development. -- Eastmain (talk) 04:58, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - WP:N requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The article cites three sources: two are the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's business, arts and recreation section, which appears to be a home for promotional fluff pieces for local enterprises. Not a reliable source; sections like this often take promotional consideration in return for their articles. The other source is the RBOC Update, which as best as I can tell is an entirely non-notable publication, though I stand to be corrected. In any case articles appearing in only two publications I don't believe constitute "significant coverage". - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is close to a Speedy, as the article really doesn't assert notability. But, for all that, look at the coverage - it's all from 2005 and before, when the development was under construction. So, there was very little notable about it then, and nothing since. I'm not finding additional sources, either - so, we should probably delete. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 18:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Atlanta Journal-Constitution is a reliable source. Newspapers of that size don't sell their editorial coverage in exchange for promotional considerations. This showed up as a newspaper article, not as an advertorial. "Significant" refers to the coverage (as opposed to "passing mention"), and even a single newspaper story can be enough to establish notability. RBOC Update may itself be unexciting (it's "a publication providing news and analysis of networking and telecommunications"), but it's editorially independent (and made available to libraries through http://www.accessmylibrary.com/archive/4453-rboc-update.html ) and a reliable source. The RBOC Update article covers the telecommunications infrastructure of the development, so that's part of the significant coverage needed for notability. -- Eastmain (talk) 04:15, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article is written like an ad, not like a neighborhood, which might be allowable. Newspaper quotes appear to be from the real estate section, which are just developer hype in exchange for an accompanying ad. While front pages and editorial may not be "for sale", this does not hold true for the real estate section. If prior editor is correct, and material was not in the real estate section, then perhaps the article can be rewritten as a neighborhood and not as an ad. But right now, WP:SPAM does not merit an article IMO. Student7 (talk) 20:38, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Not sure why this was relisted, there's a consensus above. It's an organisation, not a geographic location, and therefore it's required to assert notability within the body of the article itself. No notability is asserted, therefore it should be A7 Speedy Deleted as per my argument above. The only dissent is from Eastmain, who declined the initial speedy delete and comments twice above, who, with respect, appears to be confusing the idea of presumption of notability under WP:N (which occurs when there are reliable independent sources discussing the subject) with the idea of asserting notability - that is, making a specific claim that this organisation is more notable than a garden-variety organisation (which the article doesn't do). - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:14, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Do not understand why discussion was continued. There is one keep vote, from the originator of the article, who appears to be connected to the developer of the community.Student7 (talk) 18:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The article makes claims of uniqueness, including the fame of the golf course's designer and being consistent with New Urbanism. I am not the originator of the article. That was Stembrand (talk · contribs · count), who has not participated in this discussion, possibly because he or she was not notified of it. -- Eastmain (talk) 04:06, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I left a note on Stembrand's talk page at 04:08, 12 October 2009 (UTC), which is a bit late in the process. -- Eastmain (talk) 04:15, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - And the "zero-discharge" sewage treatment plant which supplies the water for the gold course's greens is further evidence that this is not a run-of-the-mill development. -- Eastmain (talk) 04:24, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - The zero-discharge plant is one of 24 in Atlanta alone. Further, Georgia law currently mandates zero-discharge for new developments of this kind; the fact that they're one of the first to comply with their legal obligations is neither unique nor notable. (per the sources you've cited in the article) - DustFormsWords (talk) 20:38, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment - Since my earlier comments I've also been directed to WP:MILL which would appear to have application here even if sources were able to be found. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:42, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It doesn't seem to establish its notability. The sources don't seem strong enough to support the organization--as is noted, they primarily seem to address the developmental phase, and are featured in a local paper which may or may not indicate a potential desire to highlight a local organization.

The result was speedy delete. No, seriously, whilst G4 is re-creation of deleted material, I think we can safely say that a markedly worse version of the deleted material is speediable. Also the new version was a completely unsourced BLP ("X is a Christian apologist")? No. If this person is truly notable, it should be possible to write an article proving that is the case (probably using the far superior originally deleted version).

Nicholas Beale

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

Procedural nomination. A previous version of this article (administrators only, sorry; if anyone wants to see the old version I will temporarily recreate it in my userspace) was deleted through consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicholas Beale (3rd nomination). A couple months later the article was recreated by the single-purpose account User:Jmt007. The re-created version was significantly worse than the deleted version and did not address any of the reasons for deletion—as you can see, the new version is almost entirely unreferenced (of the two "references" supplied, one is Beale's own book) and contains no third-party, independent coverage of this individual. I speedily deleted it as re-creation of deleted content, and since then User:NBeale, who also happens to be the article subject, has been bugging me asking to have it re-created because the version I deleted wasn't "identical" (which is correct--compared to the older version, this version is a crock). So I'm bringing it back to AfD. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 21:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (as this is only a procedural nomination, I feel I might as well also offer my !vote). Worse than the version that was deleted before, and the only user who seems to have strong feelings about bringing it back is a user in a conflict of interest. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 21:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This should be deleted as a recreation of deleted content. There is nothing new in this version that would negate the opinion of those who commented at the previous discussion. An appropriate course of action would be for Nbeale to go to deletion review. Kevin (talk) 22:02, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that's what I said numerous times (see User talk:Backslash Forwardslash#Nicholas Beale and User talk:Rjanag#Nicholas Beale). NBeale doesn't get that and doesn't understand Wikipedia policy, and has ignored my request to go to DRV; I figured I could just ignore it and not recreate the article, but maybe hearing 20 editors (instead of just me) explain how bad t his article is might knock some sense into him. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 22:04, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per my discussion of the subject at the last AfD.—S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 22:05, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Agree with Kevin; if our process require a new AFD because a worse article is put up, then there is something wrong with our process. I can't see the old one, but if this version does not address the issues raised in AFD #3, then it should be speedied via a liberal interpretation of G4, and (again, echoing Kevin) NBeale should head to DRV. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I supported the original article, but this restoration is far from acceptable. Wikifan12345 (talk) 22:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:N and no sources. MiRroar (talk) 22:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agreed that it shows the (marginal) notability even less well. It therefore certainly does not answer the objections. I !voted weak keep last time, but if consensus has changed it will take a much stronger article than this to show it. I can't really say it would be a good idea to go to DRV until that is written in user space. What would help best, of course, is if the subject did something unequivocally notable, like authored a really significant book which had reviews to show its importance. DGG ( talk ) 22:12, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It is clear that the subject is a good person with some supporters who want to place an article here. However, there are no secondary sources that indicate notability and the requirements of WP:BIO are not met. There are many people who have written a few minor books and articles, and who belong to various organizations. That's why we have notability guidelines.

Speedy delete as spam. If it were a real word, then yes it would belong on Wiktionary. However, there are no Google books or groups hits, and the only web hits are Wikipedia. Every instance of the word in the "article" is an external link to a non-notable website that simply frames episodes of a you tube-hosted home-produced series of videos (I guess it's meant to be a sitcom or something like that, but I didn't actually watch the video).

Keep Article needs work, not deletion. Simonm223 (talk) 21:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's part of a family of articles that links from Unicode. I agree that it needs a lot of work though. --Northernhenge (talk) 14:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I use it regularly in my work. It is very practical to keep an article about "Unicode arrows" (maybe the article can be renamed accordingly). Many scientific forums lack Mediawiki support, moreover, they even lack any sophisticated mathematical typesetting facilities (Stackoverflow, SG, maybe even Physorg), and I usually bypass their typesetting restrictions by copying mathematical Unicode symbols directly from Wikipedia's Unicode symbols article series. For an example, I compare it to Unicode mathematical operators, also it has deserved being worth of being a standalone article. Typesetting combinatory logic, mathematical logic and abstract algebra needs a lot of sophisticated signs. As for arrow examples, in lambda calculus, reduction and conversion rules all need specific arrow or relation symbols. It is worth of maintining an easily available source, it is very practical in everyday work. Physis (talk) 09:09, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As with the other department, I think we are now asking for a world-class standard (I'm not sure I would want to quantify it as top 5 or 10 whatever, but that's about what I think we usually in mind).

I think that we now are essentially asking for a level of notability that corresponds to being one of the leading departments in the world in the subject, and I don't think this is demonstrated. The University as a whole is not in any of the world lists discussed at College and university rankings. On this Asian list it's only no.110 & within India seems to rank #8 according to it's own web site [2]As for the subject field, On the India Today list [3] it's not one of the top 10 nor can I find it highly ranked on any other Indian list.

Keep Good enough. I'm not against Alex Legion demonstrating notability in the usual way, and he has gotten notice on ESPN, USA Today, an other outside sources, by being a heavily-recruited guard who has jumped from one program to the next (Michigan, Kentucky, Illinois), and even his momma seems to get some opportunity-press herself. What I am against is the silly idea that we should host a different fansite for each player on a particular team. I can think of lots of people, like heart surgeons and test pilots, who do something more important than play basketball, but they don't get inherent notability either. Mandsford (talk) 12:48, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Amatuer basketball not longer participate in the Olympics or World Championships. Those events are now for pros. Dincher (talk) 21:59, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In that case we have to use our judgement to decide whether playing college basketball is equivalent to having played basketball at the Olympics or World Championships when amateurs did so, or whether it is equivalent to competing at that level now in sports where amateurs do take part. The answer looks pretty obvious to me, but I've been flamed before for pointing out the American exceptionalism involved in claiming that North American college athletes are automatically notable, so maybe my opinion doesn't reflect consensus. Would we for a second consider giving an automatic notability pass to college athletes in China or Russia? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Significant third party coverage. The change in WP:ATHLETE was likely meant to mean that small college players who came off the bench were not automatically granted articles. Meacham is a starter for a major program. -Drdisque (talk) 20:00, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If some sources can be cited to show significant coverage (such as an article about Meacham in SI, or at least the press outside of Fighting Illini Country, and I haven't seen any), then he would qualify under WP:N. As far as what the changes in WP:ATHLETE were intended to accomplish, there were long discussions about it Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)/Archive 2009, and although there are some who feel that WP:ATHLETE should be written to make exceptions for starters or major college programs, there haven't been additional changes. Considering all the persons who have ever started an NCAA Division I college basketball game, even that type of rule would result in a lot of articles created by fans. Wikipedia sets a really low bar for sports and entertainment articles anyway, so every season of every college program gets its own article and any fan can create their own personal game program within the space limits. We don't need to go even lower. Mandsford (talk) 21:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, there's an article called 2009-10 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team where all of the player bio stuff can be put, and mention can be made in Michael Jordan as well.

Global warming in Japan

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

We have global warming. Why do we need "...in Japan"? There is nothing particularly special about Japan. If we have this, we'll have 200-odd in-this-country pages. William M. Connolley (talk) 19:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are next on the list if this works :-). Is there a WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST? Where is "climate change in Brunei? etc etc William M. Connolley (talk) 21:04, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With the new political leadership in Japan, global warming has become a highly discussed topic in the Japanese media. The new government wants to impose a dramatic requirement for a reduction of "greenhouse" gasses, and Japanese industry is protesting the burden that will place on them. Also, if global warming really is true, as an island nation Japan would be seriously threatened by rising sea levels. I think an argument could be made to have a separate article on the issue, as long as it's more than three or four paragraphs long and well-cited. Cla68 (talk) 21:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep as there are good references used in the article, and it could likely be expanded. Lack of similar articles for any/every other country out there doesn't preclude having one for Japan if there are sources to back it up. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 21:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'd !vote keep if there were any sources evident that addressed global warming specifically with respect to Japan, instead of global warming in general as they currently do. In this case, I have no compunction asking those who want to keep it to do the research and demonstrate notability. —Quasirandom (talk) 22:16, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As per User:William M. Connolley. This is a global issue. I don't see how this affects Japan more or less than any other country. This should just be a re-direct page to Environmental_issues_in_Japan.--Baina90 (talk) 22:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Practically everything I've ever read about AGW indicates that impacts "will probably be distributed unevenly". Some parts of the globe may become wetter, drier, or may experience changes in the intensity of precipitation...". Therefore, while the global warming article gives good information about the overall issue, the Japan article is of value because it provides more detailed information specific to that country. Of course, it needs to be expanded, but so do a lot of wikipedia articles. Overall, I think all the Climate Change by country articles are valuable. Some people want to know what's happening in their own country mitigation wise, or how climate change might effect them personally.--CurtisSwain (talk) 00:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - well-referenced article, and as CurtisSwain notes, the article does indeed have great value. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 00:57, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources to use for expanding the article: [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]. I don't have time to expand it right now, but might in a couple of days if the article is still (hopefully) around. Also, just a suggestion to WMC, before nominating these kinds of articles for deletion, I suggest leaving a note on the discussion page at the different nation's wikiprojects to allow the project participants to try to fix any hard issues with the articles first. Cla68 (talk) 01:00, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Global warming is global. That's why we call it "global" warming. If this will be kept, it should at least be renamed to "Climate change in Japan" or something that actually makes sense. Gigs (talk) 01:38, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, there are some notable scientists who believe that warming is local, not global. The use of the word "global" is controversial, and may be one of the reasons why "climate change" is becoming the preferred title for the topic. If this article is changed to "Climate change in Japan", then all of the articles with "global warming" in the name may need to be retitled also. Cla68 (talk) 01:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd support Climate change in Japan as an alternate title for this article. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 02:43, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point. the name is somewhat oxymoronic. you cant have global warming in japan, as its global, only effects in japan from global warming.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:32, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep given Cla68's references (and not based on what's currently in the article). No strong opinion on the proposed name change, but it sounds reasonable. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and retitle if needed, but the issue of the effects, politics, etc. of global warming in Japan is a valid sub-article topic per WP:SS. Similarly, we have both Abortion and Abortion in Japan, etc. Sandstein 19:17, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, and Brad should steer clear of making an article for his own film. If it is in post then once released it will get coverage and the article will follow, and the EL are mainly to Brad or the film's pages. Darrenhusted (talk) 10:25, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per WP:NFF which states "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles." I was unable to find any realiable sources attesting this film's principal photography commencement. Furthermore, had principal photography been confirmed via reliable sources, guidelines still state that unreleased films "should not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." I have no prejudice towards recreation of this article if and when principal photography can be confirmed and the notability criteria are met.

The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of editors here, same as yourself, started editing before they were familiar with the policies and guidelines that guide this project's development.

Delete per WP:OR (unsourced original research). It has a secondary problem in that "narrative forms" isn't a clearly defined term so any purported list of narrative forms can never be either (a) conclusive or (b) verifiable. - DustFormsWords (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:37, 30 September 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Comment. The introduction to A theory of narrative by F. K. Stanzel (ISBN 9780521310635) discusses the precise topic of listing and classifying narrative forms - and that's just page 1 of the first book that I've looked at in researching this. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Then that information needs to be in the article; at the moment it cites that source but doesn't make any claim to be using a definition from it, or from any other source, for that matter. (I say that as statement, not criticism - thanks for checking out a book I don't have personal access to.) - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:30, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Like many of our other lists, the linked articles serve to explain themselves. I believe it's adequately sourced and a valid article. • Anakin ^(talk) 04:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but it could use some expansion and further sourcing. I added a source to the article which shows that the subject of the list has been reproduced and commented-upon in reliable sources. This source contains many of the terms in the list which takes away the original research argument. "Narrative forms" in itself isn't a contentious definition so there shouldn't be issues with defining what may or may not be a narrative form. Lastly, this is obviously beyond a dictionary definition as it contains much more than a basic definition, it is an encyclopedic investigation into the subject. A dictionary definition would be thrown back at the subject, such as "A list of narrative forms is a list containing only narrative forms", not "this is a list of narrative forms: form 1, form 2, etc. Them From Space 05:12, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A vote for keep and change. The Matrix did create a universe ripe for roleplaying which was used in the Matrix Online game by Sony. http://thematrixonline.station.sony.com/index.vm. People developed their own storylines as evident at the Sony site. Universe-style character-view writing is part of the roleplaying experience. If Wikipedia feels that does not fit then I accept it, but I do argue that to document roleplaying or a fantasy world accurately requires a view from the inside.

It may be important enough to have a breakout article, but is this really the article you mean? I'm not doubting its notability, just that this article isn't very encyclopedic, and is, quite frankly an unreferenced mess. Perhaps what should happen is that elements of this article should be incorporated into The Matrix (franchise) article, until the quality is of a standard to warrant a breakout article. Rob Sinden (talk) 15:57, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but merge Matrix (reality) and Mega City (The Matrix) (and possibly also Zion (The Matrix)) into it. And it'll need a big rewrite.
IIRC, this article was originally created to collect all the revelations about the fictional universe's history into one place (and to help prevent such descriptions clogging up the plot summary of The Matrix Reloaded, though of course that article currently has its own issues), and I still think a good article covering that would be a useful thing to have.
However, I've never been sure whether this article should discuss only the virtual reality system the characters plug into, or cover the more general "fictional universe" in which all the stories take place. If we decide it's the latter, perhaps Zion (The Matrix) should also be merged into the article. Again, whatever happens, it'll need to be extensively rewritten...
As for reference sources: it might be acceptable to cite dialogue from the film (and games, and comics) and quote it in a footnote reference, as has been done in the featured video game article Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater#cite_note-17. To quote the policy:

Primary sources ... artistic and fictional works such as poems, scripts, screenplays, novels, motion pictures... Our policy: Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. Without a secondary source, a primary source may be used only to make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is verifiable by a reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages from the novel to describe the plot, but any interpretation of those passages needs a secondary source. Do not make analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims about information found in a primary source.

Does piecing together the history of a fictional world from statements made in different films count as "interpretation" that would require a secondary source?
If all that's not possible, I'd prefer the core elements to be moved to The Matrix (franchise), as User:EEMIV and User:Robsinden suggested, rather than deleted entirely.
--Nick R^Talk 17:12, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. To paraphrase what I posted elsewhere, as this problem seems to be endemic, many of the editors voting for "keep" would agree that the information on this page is inconcise and unenyclopedic, and would need a hefty rewrite to remove any unsourced information and original research. I'd have thought therefore that they would agree that this article should not exist in its current form. It doesn't appear that anyone would be willing to rewrite this article as it would be too daunting a task. Hence my proposal for deletion. After deletion, perhaps the information could be added concisely to the The Matrix (series) page bit by bit, and if it warrants another break-out article then it would eventually evolve naturally into that article. I have this question: What "information" is actually contained on this page that meets wikipedia policy? Rob Sinden (talk) 10:16, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say that the Overview and See Also sections could be merged more or less as is. That's several paragraphs of usable material. It's not brilliant prose and lacks inline citations, but neither of those failings require deletion to address. Eluchil404 (talk) 11:16, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Like Prezbo, I looked and couldn't find any sources that discuss this, which is too bad; I'd vote to keep if Leonard Matlin or Roger Ebert had written about this. Getting stuck in an elevator is a fairly common plot device on situation comedies, although I disagree with the reason stated by the author for its use (i.e. the ultimate in low budget). There are other ways that characters can end up spending the entire episode together, in a confined space out of which they cannot go, talking about their innermost thoughts, but the elevator is the one that most people can identify with. If someone can go into labor while everyone is trapped in the elevator, that's a true sign that the sitcom writers have run out of ideas. Mandsford (talk) 13:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hey, Internet Detectives, you do realize this is William Fucking Gibson we're talking about, right? I mean, what the shit is the point of deleting this? Any idiot with his head screwed on knows that it's going to get reviews, critical attention, etc - sufficient to have an article by Official Wiki Standards™ - once it's published, so what is the point of deleting its article now?

Simple. A lot may change between now and the scheduled release date, and Gibson himself may decide, unilaterally, to change his plans. So the chances that the book will get reviews are not close enough to 100% for the article to exist right away.

Weak delete. Clearly a bit of CRYSTAL going on here, but Gibson arguably (I'm not opining here) falls under WP:NB criterion 45. If that argument is raised, then despite no official announcements, with sufficient reliability of sources indicating the book is forthcoming, it may be permitted to be kept. ^Bongo_matic 08:18, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That would be criterion 5, actually. Except that the book hasn't been published yet. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 12:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the criterion says "any of his or her written works may be considered notable", not any that has already been published. So perhaps there's speculation as to whether it has been written yet. Any reasonable interpretation of that criterion would include a number of things that had not been published and exclude others (and exclude some that had, like letters to the editor).

This article has been around since 2007, so I thought I'd bring it here rather than prodding it.

Delete per nom and others (and don't spare the horses). No sources offered or found nor any other mentions at all, whether reliable or otherwise, found. When you think about it, it seems more than a tad strange for an online television station not to have some sort of web presence; one would think a website just might be considered a necessity for that line of work. The names of staff who have gone onto other projects, or have joined the company, have no ghits for the asserted previous or later occupations; one of the CEOs was alleged to have been a former CEO of a rather large media company, although I don't think I am going out on a limb to think that they have never heard of him. Gotta agree with the nomination of the article as a hoax: the article reads as a "made-up-one-day" article that has been expanded in a similar style over the next 18 months; even the ungainly name is unbelievable.

- GrrlGamer: Currently domain parked. Probably should be removed.
- RPGVault: Reliable per WP:VG/RS, owned by IGN.
- Walz Music: Primary source.
- Game Chronicles: Listed as unreliable on VG/RS per a discussion here.
- AceGamez: Probably reliable: Has an editor.
- Gamezebo: Listed as reliable on WP:VG/RS per this discussion
- Netjak: Link isn't working atm, but a quick search indicates it's cited in multiple other articles, including an FA: Half-Life 2.

Keep - All sources used to establish notability have been validated through WP:VG/S during the previous AfD, and there were no concerns left to address after the article on the company was pruned of the non-Aveyond games. If there are issues with the sources, the proper way is to get consensus at WP:VG/S to invalidate them first. We have a major wikiproject that has gone through the pain of reviewing and maintaining a list of sources, selectively disregarding their findings at individual AfDs is not the way to go, in particular since any findings may affect plenty other articles.

Attracts spammers. If such a list is kept, I think it should contain only web-only stations for maintenance reasons. trespassers william (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As I read it, WP:LIST supports this kind of thing. There's a clearly defined criteria for whether things belong on the list, it's a potentially useful way to sort information, and neither redundancy nor potential size are barriers to doing this kind of thing. I'm still getting my head around that policy though so I'm open to argument on why I'm wrong. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trim, define a scope and minimum criteria for inclusion The scope and maintenance of this list seem to be at issue and those are not deletion reasons. The solution to maintenance and spam is to remove all entries that do not have existing articles on Wikipedia, and/or set other minimum criteria for future inclusion.

Stephanie Birkitt

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

This person is notable only for supposedly having an affair with David Letterman, and so fails WP:BLP1E. Kevin (talk) 00:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — First of all, as per nom WP:BLP1E textbook example (yes, I'm implying she failed WP:N before the 1E). Secondly, all third-party sources are from the last 4 days (i.e., since the BLP1E). While she has had a long-lived article, it didn't establish notability before this event. She was a page for a few TV shows, then an office worker, then a once-in-a-while on air personality (on one show; she, for the most part, justs "hands out prizes"). As I've had this debate on the talk page, I'll preempt this here (these are my previous comments verbatim):

To the argument "she's notable for appearances on a top-rated show"

Check out her IMDB page. Does that look significant? Do you have any idea how many other people on IMDB have more credits and would clearly never be considered notable? (Don't pull WP:OTHERCRAP here, my logic is valid). An analogical example of someone who is notable for their appearances on such shows is John Melendez (his IMDB). There are staffers who appear on these shows repeatedly. Conan's The Interrupter (his IMDB). Check out those IMDB links and come back and say she's significant for "appearing regularly."

Nonetheless, as I commented on the talk, this BLP1E example should be merged with the other BLP1E spun off from the same event (Joe Halderman) and the huge bubble growing on Letterman's page about this event should be spun off into an article on the event, its history, its players, the lawsuit (as it develops), and its ramifications (as they develop). This should be done in a very judicious way to avoid contradicting WP:NOTNEWS.

PS 7/11 refs in the last few days. 2/11 interviews (primary sources). 1/11 CBS page (primary source). 1/11 blog.

Strong Keep -- She appeared on Late Show more than 100 times. [Late Show Fan Page], including covering two Olympics games. More than 100 times. Anyone basing their opinion solely on the IMDB website is not doing enough research. The statement on IMDB that she appeared 11 times is clearly inaccurate, e.g., it omits her Olympic work. Careful Cowboy (talk) 01:05, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge this (and the Halderman article) into an article about the event. What P and P said just previously. Seduisant (talk) 01:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment She appeared on Late Show more than 100 times. Why would that go in the Halderman article? Careful Cowboy (talk) 01:12, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As Careful Cowboy noted below, Birkitt actually appeared in comedic roles on the Late Show 265 times. Meanwhile, Halderman's 30 years at CBS TV news has resulted in 7 Emmy Awards and a Columbia-Dupont Award, his solo written-directed-produced Showtime film was nominated for a journalism Emmy, and ... somehow ... commedienne Birkitt's bio is supposed to be merged into Halderman's journalism bio and then both bios are supposed to be merged into an article about David Letterman's sex sacndal? Nuh-uh. That won't do. cat Catherineyronwode (talk) 20:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (Is the argument that this somehow destroys her notability? A "scarlet A" argument? Hmmm .. Sounds sexist, better make that a strong keep.) She was sufficiently notable to have an article before affair got recent explosion of coverage. Publicly known as Letterman's assistant who appeared in several episodes of the show on camera. Deletion will give the appearance the Wikipedia is doing someone a favor—which is not an allegation, simply a suggestion of what that deletion would look like. The article has been here for 5 years—now she's in the middle of a scandal, delete her? Nope. Proofreader77 (talk) 01:18, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep per the very lucid arguments of Careful Cowboy, above. Johntex\^talk 01:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Article has existed on this person for over 5 1/2 years. Sleeping with Dave is punishment enough, it shouldn't subject her to deletion too! --Milowent (talk) 02:59, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 100 appearances on that show is still not enough to establish notability. If she's notable for something other than the 1E, let's see some reliable third-party sources establishing that (nothing published within the last 5 days). Maybe some news stories for her involvement in something else significant. Really, anything (other than her bios from her employer's website). The "Late Show Fan Page" does not establish notability! Unless that is done, all of these "keeps" saying she is "oh-so-notable" really mean nothing.

Peace and Passion ☮ ("I'm listening....") 03:17, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS It's more than slightly absurd to posit that this has anything to do with sexism. Come on....

Comment--She has appeared on Late Show 265 times; I just counted. If that is not enough to make her notable, how many would you need? Careful Cowboy (talk) 03:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment re "sexist" Hmmm ... Before the recent scandal she was a woman competent enough to have served a long term as Letterman's assistant ... acknowledged and featured on national television numerous times ... BUT NOW (poof!) she is just someone Letterman had an affair with and therefore unworthy of notability? Proofreader77 (talk) 04:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment re "sexist" She has an article for 5 years, has the same notability as other on air characters with articles, nothing gets said about them, arguments to delete her article crop up *immediately* and *only* after her affair and you wonder why people are saying that's sexist? 131.247.83.135 (talk) 14:03, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment re "sexist" Just add my "Hmmm" to the others. She had 265 appearances on a top-rated national television show. Improving her bio with more refs would seem to be the order of the day ... but instead we see a call to delete her bio because she is only notable for her having had sex with her employer. Hmmm. Maybe this Afd is not a case of sexism -- maybe it's a case of astroturfing on behalf of the David Letterman bio. Hmmm. I dunno. I just say "Hmmm." cat Catherineyronwode (talk)

Keep She appeared on the show many times and basically became an on-air character like Tony Mendez (Host) or Biff Henderson. And it should be noted that the article was edited a bunch of times by several editors long before the scandal broke. --JamesAM (talk) 04:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - more notable than many media "celebrities" who get articles here. None of the deletion arguments seem to come from people who've read the history of the article. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - She may be just a footnote in History but I think "digital space" allows the storage of such notes. Just imagine if we had more (detailed) information about the Roman courts and courtesans, etc... rolling this person's "bio" into another article just wouldn't work as well. Madzimambo (talk) 12:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notable before the scandal, notable now. I don't know why the people trying to delete the article decided that she was hardly ever on the show -- if you don't think that appearing on the show a lot is enough to establish notability, that's your opinion, but the portrayal of her work by User:Peace and Passion is completely inaccurate and I don't know how that user came up with that characterization or decided to act on it as if it were true. Propaniac (talk) 13:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is clearly not BLP1E. It's pretty obvious that those calling for deletion A) Don't watch the show and/or B) Haven't familiarized themselves with the subject long enough to know that she was an on-air character similar to Tony Mendez and Biff Henderson before this event. Snap judgments are being made that this is a tabloid type article without sufficiently researching the subject. 131.247.83.135 (talk) 14:03, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:BLP1E certainly does not say that we should punish someone who is in the news by deleting their article if it has existed for years, and if it had plenty of independent and reliable references with significant coverage to satisfy WP:BIO before the news item surfaced, as she did. Checking Google News archive for 1996 through 2008: There were several items which described her appearances in Q&A columns. There was a story about her from Entertainment Weekly in 2002: [34]. In 2002, she was number 21 on USA Todays list "Pop Candy's 100 People of the Year!" Edison (talk) 14:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Snowball keep and trout the nominator for not doing their homework. If the woman had a page, with notability firmly established, for five years now, then clearly BLP1E is out the window for an event that's just happened in the last couple of weeks. Umbralcorax (talk) 14:18, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wait a moment, people. The article as it existed before the incident[35] clearly warranted deletion on the grounds of general lack of notability. I favor deletion on that basis. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 14:25, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

....Based on what exactly? Her notability has been clearly pointed out in the discussion above. Is appearing 265 times not enough? How may times is enough? Where did you get that number? Did you read the above discussion at all? What exactly do you disagree with? 131.247.83.135 (talk) 15:03, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Based on her not being notable. The fact that she has appeared in walk-ons in skits does not make her notable or eligible for an article in Wikipedia. I'm really surprised that this marginal person, whose only notability relates to her rather embarrassing role in the Letterman sex saga, is the subject of such impassioned "keep" votes. I agree with the nominator that BLP1E was designed for this type of situation. The fact that this non-notable person had a bio since 2004 is not surprising. I'd bet that there are hundreds if not thousands of eminently deletable articles created then or earlier. CBS had the decency and good taste to take down her bio from the web, and we should too.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 18:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - meets notability. Dincher (talk) 17:58, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable per Edison's links above, notable as an on-air character like Tony Mendez (Host) or Biff Henderson, notable per the 265 Late Show appearances cited by Careful Cowboy, and there is simply no good reason to delete the BLP of an on-air television personality whose bio has been in Wikipedia for 5 1/2 years with no previous AfD. cat Catherineyronwode (talk) 20:04, 6 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Keep per the very lucid arguments of Careful Cowboy and comments of Edison. Surely met notability before the recent scandal. Goosman99 (talk) 20:27, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep IMHO, the question is whether Birkitt gets mentioned only in List of David Letterman sketches (following the example for Meg Parsont, who is only mentioned in Late Night with David Letterman), or warrants her own article, like Rupert Jee. I think the Birkitt is a weak keep because the Jee article is a weak keep too. Both Jee and Birkitt used to have cast member bios on the CBS website for The Late Show, and I think that's enough to establish their notability. Citing the longevity of the article is bogus, since it predates the Wikipedia biography controversy and the Wikipedia Watch controversy that prompted the establishment of what became the WP:BLP policy. The real issue with the Birkitt article is not whether it should exist, but what should be said about her role in the definitely notable extortion/business ethics case that Birkitt appears to be an unwilling participant in. It's easy to find all sorts of third-party references to her role in the case, but tabloid coverage and coverage by organizations like TMZ.com should not be cited, because Birkitt is only known for her role on The Late Show. It's entirely possible that the details of the extortion case will never become public record, preventing any rumored detail about her role in the case (willing or unwilling) to never really be known. Birkitt's article and her name in any Letterman articles should be monitored carefully for the policy that "Biographies of living persons must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy." 72.244.207.41 (talk) 21:26, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Thank god for users who will take a step back for a second like JohnnyB256. I still have not seen a cogent reason for "Keep." I did see a good delete vote which was labeled a keep though:

Keep - She may be just a footnote in History but I think "digital space" allows the storage of such notes. Just imagine if we had more (detailed) information about the Roman courts and courtesans, etc... rolling this person's "bio" into another article just wouldn't work as well. User:Madzimambo

If this was raised for deletion a month before this BLP1E, it would have been deleted. If this is raised for deletion a couple months after this BLP1E, it will probably be deleted. I honestly cannot understand the snowball consensus taking place here. Take a step back for a second. When statements as absurd as as this is a "delete based on sexism" are, it becomes clear that this is way more absurd heat than objective voting. Wow.

Comment on Comment It is not your right to refactor another editor's keep by calling it "a good delete." Also, re: your "statements [that] this is a 'delete based in sexism' [which is] getting brought up by so many editors": That is untrue. Look again; those were three comments (as of this writing) and nothing more, and they were made in response to one mention (by Proofreader), not "so many" -- and they were not even all in agreement with Proofreader's premise of sexism, either (i know that mine was not). Now, leaving aside your misdirections, at present the tally is 17 for keep, 2 for delete, and 1 for merge.

Delete - I fail to see how this page is remotely encyclopedic. - Prezboy1 talk 04:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Could you please say more about what you mean by "encylopedic?" As this is a question of whether this article should appear in an encyclopedia, saying that it is not encyclopedic is not very illuminating. Do you think that 265 appearances on national television is too low to make this person notable? If so, how many appearances do you think would be needed for notability? Careful Cowboy (talk) 04:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I really don't think much more needs to be said. It seems pretty clear in context. Imagine if there was an actress who only ever acted on one show. She was a frequently recurring guest star. Would she be notable for an encyclopedia? Take a look through IMDB if you want to find actresses who've done much more work but would never end up in an encyclopedia.

Keep Likely notable before the affair, definitely notable now. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 05:14, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep She was borderline in notability before the revelation of the scandal, simply as an occasional performer on the program. Now, she's the subject of intense media interest. As is mentioned above, this article does a good service by at least putting the scandal in perspective and providing background on the lady's career. Xoloz (talk) 06:37, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think the argument to delete this article is now irrelevant. Stephanie Birkitt has received intense news coverage due to her involvement in the Letterman scandal. I say she was notable before that, certainly to any fan of the Letterman show. But as I said, she is certainly relevant now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.185.16.238 (talk) 13:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The page was created already as early as February 18, 2004, and had seen 70 edits before the current surge of prurient interest (permalink to 70th revision), so I think it is just not true that she is notable only for one event. --Lambiam 15:36, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Excuse me, since when has the existence of an article been evidence that the subject of the article is notable? All that generally means is that it can't be deleted via a proposed deletion.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 18:42, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response- Lambiam's meaning is that BLP1E is soundly refuted. Anybody who using it as an argument in this AFD (IE- the nominator), obviously didn't bother to actually look at the article to see that it was around BEFORE the event. That has nothing to do with pre-event notability (which is firmly established). Umbralcorax (talk) 18:54, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response - In the first vote (a delete) I noted this fact. After a few other editors brought it up, I went back and underlined it in my vote. I "obviously didn't bother" to look? Even though I specifically mentioned it? When I vote on something, I don't just do it willy-nilly. In no way is BLP1E refuted; as I said, the article did not establish encyclopedic notability before the fact. Peace and Passion ☮ ("I'm listening....") 20:45, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I second the response. The deletion-proposer's statement is absurd even if he's right that the article should be deleted. Obviously we all knew of Stephanie Birkitt's existence years before the recent allegations, and most of us (myself included) knew of Birkitt's existence long before we knew there was a Wikipedia article about her. She's been a (very minor) celebrity for years. If the article should be deleted, it's because of the "very minor" nature of that status, not because of the deletion-proposer's erroneous belief that we didn't know who she is until these allegations broke. Michael Hardy (talk) 20:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response - Stating BLP1E in no way implies the claim that "we didn't know who she is until these allegations broke." Peace and Passion ☮ ("I'm listening....") 20:45, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Correct me if I'm wrong but the only argument for deletion here is BLP1E, right? While it is arguable whether or not she was notable enough to warrant her own page prior to the scandal she obviously had at least some notability pre-scandal. So, while separately (pre-scandal or based only on the scandal) she may not warrant a page, I don't see why arguments for deletion are being made which don't consider the whole picture. -Ektar (talk) 20:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An aside - Complements of WP:Notability

Actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities:

Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.
- See WP:MUSIC for guidelines on musicians, composers, groups, etc.

Which of these is the one all the "keep" votes are claiming she passes? If there's something else from another policy, don't just vaguely allude to it; directly quote it, please.

Comment--265 national television appearances is relevant to criterion 1. If you think 265 is too low, please propose a cut-off number. Careful Cowboy (talk) 20:59, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First thing, you realize that those criteria are FOR notability, not against notability. In other words, you definitely are notable if you fit that criteria, but not meeting those criteria doesn't, in itself, make you non-notable. Besides, that's exactly what I was talking about, that is an argument which ignores the fact that the she was involved in the scandal in ADDITION to her being on TV. -Ektar (talk) 21:25, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep: This article should stay because Birkitt had an affair with Letterman and because she appeared frequently on Letterman's show. However, had she never had sex with him, she would not be notable. Her appearance on the show, combined with her affair, justify an article for her. How does having sex make a person notable? It occurs when that person has sex with a prominent public figure under ethically questionable circumstances. Monica Lewinsky is an excellent example of this. Note that Lewinsky has an article on Wikipedia. Moby-Dick3000 (talk) 22:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You know, it's true that someone like me rarely participates in deletion discussions. I think I said as much in my vote, or whatever, above. But this vote, or whatever, is advertised on the page itself, and somebody decided to put it up for deletion when it's getting the most traffic. It is to be expected. I don't think it's a bad thing. Despite my failure to vote with a pseudonym, I do know what an encyclopedia is. I also do apreciate the general idea that often gossip coverage is harmful, and we can do without here. But I don't really see that we're anywhere near that line in this case. It's pretty terse, low key and matter of fact what we're asserting here (at least on the current version, I agree with the one below who says it should be kept, but cautions it should be monitored). I'm not sure how publicity averse she is, but if she has a list of things on the internet she wishes would go away, I strongly doubt we're even on it. --99.245.206.188 (talk) 00:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on birth date issue raised by JohnnyB256: I have never before seen a comment, essay, or administrative directive to the effect that BLP policy "discourages" birth dates. I have sourced hers from Time Magazine and consider that sufficiently reliable and public to retain in the article. Catherineyronwode (talk) 18:39, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=&lang=&q=Wikipedia:Blp#Privacy_of_personal_information "Caution should be exercised with less notable people. With identity theft on the rise, people increasingly regard their dates of birth as private. When in doubt about the notability of the subject, or if the subject complains about the publication of his or her date of birth, err on the side of caution and simply list the year of birth." I'm removing the DOB and please don't reinstate it.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 19:18, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Excuse me, but I dont think saying 'a lot of unregistered users suddenly...' supports any opinion, while it sounds strongly like WP:ABF. Also, I personally think that a consensus seems already formed. Anyway, I'm on a semi-wikibreak now, w/o enough time to do my own research on this so I remain neutral, but I for one suggest the discussion should be kept on topic.

Articles for deletion/Carvin & Ivan (Karma Productions)

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

This production team is not notable (although one member of it may be). I have been unable to find any coverage of it whatsoever despite diligent searching. ^Bongo_matic 03:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I think this article COULD pass the notability test, given work, but the sources aren't there to support it at the moment, so it fails WP:N. I'd revisit the issue if anyone does significant work on adding independent secondary sources. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:07, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- If you haven't done the work to look for sources yourself, then you have no actual basis for determining whether something is notable or not. Checking notability involves looking for sources onesself. Anything less is zero help to either Wikipedia or AFD, since it doesn't contribute anything to the process. Contrast that with Bongomatic's making efforts to find sources xyrself. Uncle G (talk) 18:52, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - There's nothing at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_discuss_an_AfD that requires anyone discussing the issue to go do research. I'll admit to being relatively new, and if there's some other policy you're referring to I'd be grateful to be directed to it! But my understanding is that an article has to stand or fall on its own merits - we're assessing what's there, not what could possibly be there maybe in the future - and while users who improve an article during AfD like Bongomatic are to be lauded and commended, there's nothing to say that every commentor must do that additional legwork before expressing an opinion. If an article is nonsense, but could potentially STOP being nonsense, it doesn't help anyone to say, "Non-nonsense information on this topic exists at some other place on the web, so we should keep." Not trying to be argumentative - I'm genuinely interested in having the relevant policy pointed out to me if I've got it wrong. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:48, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There seems to be plenty of coverage out there to sort through. Since they have several Grammy nominations between them, there must be some notable hook to hang this material on here and so it's just a matter of filing it under the right heading(s), not deleting it. The nominator's diligence in searching for sources is commendable but note that the name seems to be Haggins, not Higgins. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:33, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I stated in the nomination, one team member (Specifically, Barias) may be notable, but the production company is not. There is nothing beyond passing reference to Karma Productions or the two together. With respect to searches, I have done numerous ones (including with correct spelling!). ^Bongo_matic 22:53, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If Barias is notable, as you indicate, then there is a good alternative to deletion — merger or rename to an article about him. The name of the production company/partnership seems a reasonable search term and so we should maintain the link per our editing policy. See also our deletion policy which urges that such alternatives be explored before bringing matters here. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say he is notable, I said he may be notable. Moreover, my view is that should an article on him be written, it would be better started from scratch. The current article doesn't separate out the works of the different partners at all and is overwhelmed by unencyclopedic discography. ^Bongo_matic 04:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this can be mentioned in an article about miniature replicas of famous buildings, but I don't see enough that it merits its own page. Unfortunately, this is an article that suffers greatly from the lack of an image that would make it more interesting, which is too bad. One would think that the people who created the miniature would want to show it off, but as often as not, groups insist on permission. If kept, throw in a stock picture of the White House and add the caption "it looks like this, only smaller". Mandsford (talk) 12:35, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is nothing in WP:Notability which calls for exclusion of something which has significant coverage, over several decades, in multiple reliable and independent sources, just because some editors don't think it is important enough to have an article. This 1/12 scale model, described recently in American Profile, has been reported by newspapers all over the U.S. since 1977, per Google News archive. There is coverage from 1977 to the present(much behind paywall). See Pittsburgh Post Gazette(1983) which says it is 60 feet by 20 feet, and took 200,000 hours to build, starting in 1961. It includes rooms not open to the public and not included on tourist maps of the building. By 1983 it had been exhibited in all 50 states. It weighs 10 tons per Chicago Tribune (1996), and by then had cost nearly $1 million for materials and transportation.. Washington Post (1992) said it got updated seasonal decorations, and was exhibited at the National Museum of American History. The Atlanta Journal (1996) said it had clocks that tick and chimneys that smoke. In sum, there are 83 references with significant coverage in Google News archive, from at least 1977, 1978, 1983, 1985, 1988, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007, and 2008, clearly not just reprints of the same wire service story or press release. Google book search shows a 1994 book about it published by Norton with creator Zweiful's cooperation [40], and 5 other instances of book coverage of unknown extent (snippet views). The Gerald Ford Library site says it is "Considered to be one of the world's great miniature houses," that it has been exhibited at the Smithsonian and the Kennedy and Reagan libraries, and that it has been "hailed by presidents, first ladies and the general public as a masterpiece in the art of miniature." Americanheritage.com says it is listed by Guiness Book of World Records as "the world's largest dollhouse," though its builder denies it is a dollhouse. This is not some random replica haphazardly built and little noted. It is a work of art. WP:N is abundantly satisfied. Edison (talk) 14:37, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Not sourced at all, but miniature recreations of famous landmarks usually are tourist attractions, and have a measure of notoriety if they are described in books on the subject. Something of this nature would not be appropriate in an article about the White House itself, but I think that it's good to treat these as part of a (sourced) article. Otherwise, merge this to a page about replicas in general. Mandsford (talk) 12:39, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

These seem worthy of keeping to me. People might be interested in visiting them to see the layout of rooms as you can't easily visit the real White House. Also a resource for filmmakers who need small-scale pictures they can place other things around - and anyone doing a school project on either. Anrawel
