Body earthing

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

The article consists of original research by combining journal articles which are not about the topic, and as well as advertising and fringe health advice. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. IRWolfie- (talk) 23:43, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The article may be mostly OR as it stands, but Google Scholar has a large number of articles on the term. scope_creep (talk) 00:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no. You just found a few (34) irrelevant articles where the words "body" and "earthing" occur in succession, and where the word "body" usually refers to the body of a vehicle. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 00:14, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This phenomenon is normally simply called Earthing or Grounding, but those words are too ambiguous. It might be more correct to rename the article Earthing (physiology) or Grounding (physiology). Futile attempts at searching for Body earthing are hence insignificant. The articles quoted may seem to not be about the topic, but the relevance of research papers mentioning simply Grounding or Earthing should now be clear.

In what way is the article written like an advertisement? It is not promoting any product or service.

The book Earthing establishes notability, even though it is not fully scientific.

Simple solutions may seem pseudoscientific in comparison with sophisticated solutions. OlavN (talk) 14:50, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of an unreliable pseudoscientific book does not help establish notability. IRWolfie- (talk) 15:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Doesn't the use of a practice by millions of people deserve a mention in wikipedia? Are you saying that the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine and the Journal of Environmental and Public Health are unworthy sources? Go to PubMed and search for "Earthing" and you'll find many relevant articles. Finally, this isn't a reason to keep the article, but if you build this DIY device and test out Earthing for yourself, I think you'll be convinced it's something real. Jonathan108 (talk) 16:16, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I think they are unworthy of showing notability because the papers are clearly unreliable. Also, pubmed shows exactly 4 articles (3 by the same group), not "many". IRWolfie- (talk) 15:26, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The link to PubMed which I provided searched for "earthing+grounding". I just changed it to search for "earthing" alone and it turned up five more relevant papers (two of them by researchers not associated with the previous groups.) Here is the new PubMed link. I don't know on what basis you have deemed the papers "unreliable." Jonathan108 (talk) 16:00, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On reading the abstract and seeing they are nonsensical and published in unreliable journals. The concept that people need to be grounded by being wired up to a system with wires sticking into the ground outdoors is patently absurd and seemingly based off a child's conception of physics. Your pubmed search is a mixture of different topics. These aren't sources we can use to write an article. IRWolfie- (talk) 21:55, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: NONE of the reliable sources provided by the keep voters above are at all relevant to the topic of this article. They are all coincidental occurences of the words used in articles on completely unrelated topics. NONE of the sources that mention this topic are reliable. None are on the National Institute of Health Core Clinical Journals list.[[1]]. The main source for this article, the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, isn't among the top 1000 medical journals on the SJR Medicine list.[[2]]Not surprisng, because it has an incredibly low JSR score of 0.56.[[3]]. They are all fringe or extreme minority publications with extremely little impact in the field. In short, I see no reliable sources whatsoever discussing the topic of this article, which is not surprising, at it is patent nonsense. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 22:15, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I do not think that it is the job of the AfD discussion to determine the correctness of the article or how valid the science is. However, the sources for the article are not reliable enough for this article to be notable. The journal articles that exist are perhaps the strongest evidence for notability. They are from three journals: the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine, the Journal of Environmental and Public Health and Medical Hyopthesis. Neither of these journals are very reliable. All have very low impact factors (in fact the second one doesn't seem to be listed at all). The first two do not come from major publishing houses and are quite obscure and unreliable, and the third is perhaps one of the most notoriously pseudoscientific journals in existence.

The papers themselves seem unreliable as well. They all share the same few authors. In the paper "Earthing (grounding) the human body reduces blood viscosity-a major factor in cardiovascular disease," the authors disclose that they are "independent contractors for Earth FX, Inc., the company sponsoring earthing research, and own a small percentage of shares in the company." This combined with the low reputation of the journal itself seriously calls into question the reliability of the paper.

The authors of another paper, "Earthing the human organism influences bioelectrical processes" have no other papers ever published on PubMed except ones on Earthing. They have also written the paper "The neuromodulative role of earthing" published in Med. Hypotheses. A Google search for their names, Karol Sokal, and Pawel Sokal, turns up no mentions for anything other than Earthing. In fact, a search for the Department of Ambulatory Cardiology, Military Clinical Hospital, Bydgoszcz, Poland, (Karol Sokal's affiliation) turns up nothing other than more articles about Earthing. Their email addresses is hosted at wp.pl, what appears to be a Polish internet portal and not an academic institution.

I have looked into the topic thoroughly and have not found any evidence of any study in a notable, reliable journal by reliable third-party authors. I have only seen many articles of dubious source and reliability, as well as the typical array of news articles and blog posts advertising this so-called groundbreaking discovery. These sources are not NPOV and are advertisements, and I haven't even seen any reliable third-party sources that discredit or disprove grounding to balance the article out. Per WP:GNG, we need the article to be based on independent, neutral, third-party sources to ensure NPOV, which the topic lacks. I believe that there is really no real secondary source on the topic either -- the article cites wholly original sources which seem to be self-published ones in disguise. Per IRWolfie, the existence of a single book that bills earthing as the most important discovery ever does not help establish notability either. Note that the book shares an author, Stephen T. Sinatra, with the papers published in Journal of Environmental and Public Health, and is known to be a contractor of Earthing's sponsoring company, so the book is not a third-party secondary source either.

Overall, the sources available are neither reliable nor independent, and cannot be used to express a neutral point of view. They represent mostly original research, with third-party secondary sources non-existent. Thus, the article fails to meet WP:GNG, and thus should be deleted. Richard Ye^talk 07:21, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no, this isn't practiced by "millions" of people, Jonathan, and no, it doesn't "deserve" an article. It's clearly not notable and not even notable as a fringe theory. Notable freaky practices inlcude fart lighting and nose picking. Notable pseudosciences include wearing a tin foil hat, playing with a ouija board, and rolfing. This isn't one of them. Bearian (talk) 20:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So you haven't bothered to read down to the last paragraph of the article? It shows that earthing is practiced by perhaps billions - those going barefoot, swimming etc. (Their health benefits must of course be corrected for the other effects of poverty.) OlavN (talk) 06:20, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:BOLLOCKS. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 07:06, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's got to be the most absurd thing that I have ever heard as an argument. The neutral, third-party, secondary sources backing up your assertion are non-existent, as I have summarized in my argument above. Without those, Wikipedia cannot have an article on the subject. Period. Even if you were somehow correct in your assertion and Earthing is somehow real, Wikipedia seeks verifiability, not truth. Richard Ye^talk 19:24, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Olav Berstad

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

Non-notable by WP:DIPLOMAT ("Diplomats who have participated in a significant way in events of particular diplomatic importance that have been written about in reliable secondary sources.")

Similar to Jostein Helge Bernhardsen (below), this is one of about 90 articles in Category:Norwegian diplomat stubs that may be non-notable. The minimal stub is apparently a translation of the one in the online Store norske leksikon. AFAIK Berstad, like most other diplomats, has never been involved in an “event of particular diplomatic importance”.

(This is a single Afd. I would be interested to know if people think biographies like this can be bundled.) Klein zach 22:42, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. For the record, here is the text in the user generated Store norske leksikon: "Olav Berstad, norsk diplomat, cand.mag. I utenrikstjenesten siden 1980, underdirektør 1996–98. Ambassadør i Baku 1998–2001, deretter spesialrådgiver i Utenriksdepartementet med ansvar for Barentssamarbeidet. Ambassadør i Kiev 2006-11." --Klein zach 05:00, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Permanent ambassadors should be presumed to be notable. Pburka (talk) 02:59, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the nominator acknowledges that the subject appears in an encyclopedia of national biography. That's usually grounds for inclusion on its own. Pburka (talk) 03:37, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pburka: This source you added [5] is misleading. It actually refers to the Norwegian Foreign Minister. He was the OSCE envoy, not Berstad. So it doesn't confirm the statement "he was the Norwegian ambassador to Azerbaijan from 1998 to 2001". --Klein zach 12:53, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading in what way? The source states: "The Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of Norway to Azerbaijan Olav Berstad, said that he [Knut Vollebaek] would visit Armenia and Georgia, too." It at least confirms that he was ambassador to Azerbaijan in 1999. Pburka (talk) 02:17, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I also believe that ambassadors have a presumption of notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:51, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Wikipedia should have articles on all permanent ambassadors for the same reason it should have articles on all national legislators, judges on national courts, etc. You can call that "inherent notability" if you like, or a presumption that GNG will always be satisfied for such individuals; I really don't care because satisfying notability guidelines (which are a good but not perfect proxy for determining what is or isn't important enough to include) should not be a concern with obviously important subjects such as this, so long as we follow the policies of V, OR, NPOV (which actually are important all the time). Or you can call it an WP:IAR invocation, because deleting articles on permanent ambassadors does not improve the encyclopedia in any way. postdlf (talk) 02:01, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - inclusion in national encyclopedia of his country, Store norske leksikon should guide us. Yngvadottir (talk) 03:44, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The diplomatic community is a large one. There are over 200 countries in the world — we are talking about thousands of individuals. Should they all have an automatic right to a Wikipedia article in English? Ambassadors of major countries, in major countries, will normally be well-covered by sources, but ambassadors of minor countries in minor countries — basically running visa and commercial support offices — will only be mentioned by their own official media, or in many cases, just in lists. Having looked through a largish number of these articles, I’ve found found most of the minimal, unreferenced stubs in articles about ambassadors of middle and small-sized countries, usually created by an editor going through a government list (such as Foreign Affairs International Trade Canada [6]). The problem with declaring all ambassadors notable, if that we will then have to automatically list all other unelected officials of equivalent rank. This will gradually turn Wikipedia into something like LinkedIn. Is that really the way we want to go? Klein zach 03:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I disagree with the slippery slope argument (200x200x197 years since the Congress of Vienna) as a concern. The problem with automatic notability is the nature of the ambassador position itself. Ambassadors do not generally perform more than ministerial tasks today, and may act as "spokespeople for their foreign offices." In the United States, President Obama "has filled about 70 percent of the posts with career diplomats and 30 percent with political appointees." ^[1] A 1951 article in Time magazine says, "Today, a diplomat's freedom of action is no greater than his distance from a Teletype" ^[2]. As written WP:DIPLOMAT recognizes that some ambassadors do play significant roles in world events and are "worthy of notice" – that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" WP:BIO, even if they do not otherwise meet WP:GNG. As of now, there does not appear to be consensus to change WP:DIPLOMAT. Enos733 (talk) 05:34, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...and as of now, there does not appear to be consensus to delete this article. As I noted in the similar AFD, the DIPLOMAT guideline is inclusion criteria, not exclusion criteria, and in any event if enough of this ambassador AFDs turn out as these appear to be ending up, the guideline will eventually reflect that regardless of what's going on at its talk page right now. postdlf (talk) 17:09, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, inclusion in paper encyclopedia (not user generated) meets WP:GNG which overrides or rather supplements any project specific inclusion guideline. Geschichte (talk) 08:21, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jostein Helge Bernhardsen

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

Non-notable by WP:DIPLOMAT ("Diplomats who have participated in a significant way in events of particular diplomatic importance that have been written about in reliable secondary sources.")

This is one of about 90 articles in Category:Norwegian diplomat stubs that may be non-notable, a sub-cat of Category:Diplomat stubs which probably contains more than a thousand of these minimal stubs. These articles are usually written by editors on the basis of national sources, usually government published, though in the case of this article it is the online Store norske leksikon. AFAIK Bernhardsen, like most other diplomats, has never been involved in an “event of particular diplomatic importance”.

Keep. I believe that permanent ambassadors, like Bernhardsen, should be presumed to be notable as they are certain to have generated significant coverage in reliable sources. Ambassadors almost invariably appear in Who's Who books, diplomatic journals, newspapers and almanacs. A quick search for Berhardsen finds several such reference on-line. Presumably more exist off-line, and given that references are likely to be in Norwegian and Ukrainian it's no surprise they're more difficult for English speaking editors to find. Here are a few I found in less than 5 minutes: [7][8][9] - a more in-depth search, especially by someone more familiar with Norwegian and Ukrainian sources would, I am certain, yield more results. Pburka (talk) 02:53, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per my rationale in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miyoko Akashi. Comment The first article Pburka posted, the subject of this Afd is mentioned in passing, rather than the subject of the article. WP:GNG is met in when secondary sources are about the subject rather then about a particular event where the subject is mentioned in passing. The question is this case, and the other Afds involving Diplomats are not if they are (or were) an ambassador (easily verifiable), but rather if they meet WP:GNG or WP:Diplomat. Enos733 (talk) 21:33, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I also believe that ambassadors have a presumption of notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:52, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No, Ambassadors do not have a presumption of notability. If we are going to say he is notable for being a diplomat, we need sources that go into some detail as to his activities as a diplomat. Blueboar (talk) 01:55, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is a discussion about WP:DIPLOMAT at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people). As of now, there does not appear to be a consensus to change the guideline. Enos733 (talk) 05:15, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's interesting, but not determinative of this AFD in any meaningful way. WP:DIPLOMAT at present says only that satisfying those criteria may establish notability, not that not satisfying it means the article should be deleted. Guidelines also are not to be applied robotically or legalistically, and they are to describe common practice, not dictate it. I'm sure once we have enough of these AFDs keeping permanent ambassadors, DIPLOMAT will eventually reflect that result. And as of now, there does not appear to be a consensus to delete this article. postdlf (talk) 16:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - inclusion in national encyclopedia of his country, Store norske leksikon should guide us. Yngvadottir (talk) 03:45, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the (complete) SNL entry is as follows: "Jostein Helge Bernhardsen, norsk diplomat, M.A. I utenrikstjenesten fra 1973. Ministerråd ved Norges delegasjon i Genève 1992-95. Avdelingsdirektør i Utenriksdepartementet 1995–2001. Ambassadør i Kiev 2001-06. Ambassadør i Brussel 2006-11." I.e. it lists his appointments in the same way that WP does. SNL is written by users. So does it really qualify as a relaible source? --Klein zach 04:48, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see no indication it is an open wiki; they allow registered users to make suggestions, but they retain editorial control, and this article predates the decision to publish no more print versions. More importantly, their decision that ambassadors of Norway are sufficiently notable predates that decision. So I don't believe it has lost its normative status.

Keep, inclusion in paper encyclopedia (not user generated) meets WP:GNG which overrides or rather supplements any project specific inclusion guideline. Geschichte (talk) 08:19, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

De-link the Amazon links if need be, but the fact remains, TVO, The Agenda (an important Ontario-based news show), and CBC Tapestry (CBC radio) have him often as a panelist because of his value as a writer and scholar.

Neutral Although the article sucks, that is not a valid reason for deletion. Even if the article existed before, that doesn't necessarily mean the article should be deleted. It seems to me that the term "christian entertainer" is too open-ended, since the definition of both is extremely subjective. Roodog2k (talk) 19:14, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Leaving an article incomplete and making assumptions based on bare statements is enough of a good deletion reason. I didn't even know Tom Hanks was Catholic in the first place, but this article makes it seem like it's a big known fact.Nate • (chatter) 03:54, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, stubs are "incomplete" articles, yet, they're not deleted. Actually, the whole point of Wikipedia is that it's not written in stone; essentially, every article is a living document. If the Tom Hanks statement is inaccurate, fix it. There are better reasons to delete this article. But, there are reasons to keep this article. The nominator, in my opinion, has not made a valid reason for deletion, but I can think of equal reasons to keep and delete. Roodog2k (talk) 14:06, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete OK, I'll crap and get off the pot. Not a very good topic for a list. Inherently difficult to manage due to the enormous number of people who identify as Christian, which is a very subjective definition to begin with. Not all christians share the same definition of christian. Some evangelicals consider Mormons and Catholics as not Christians. Do you have to be a member of a church or congregation? Also, the term "entertainer" is too open-ended. What is an entertainer? A singer? An actor? A director? A political commentator? However... however... this would be a good candidate for a category.Roodog2k (talk) 14:15, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this nomination as the nature of the article in question seems quite obvious. Rather than being arbitrary, this presents significant developments in psychology in chronological order. Other third-parties have done this too - see the BPS' timeline for example. The topic and its presentation are therefore notable and the rest is then a matter of ordinary editing per our editing policy. Warden (talk) 18:45, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Psychology certainly has a history, and a timeline article is an encyclopedic way of organizing that history. Most of he entries are found in any of the standard historical accounts of psychology. Edison (talk) 19:54, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I concur with Warden that the history of psychology is highly notable and in particular timelines exist in the sources. I'll also note that this article is a perfectly fine list-based article, per WP:LIST#List articles, a timeline with almost all entries linked to one or more WP articles. A highly notable topic, sources to draw from and a well-formed article all point to unambiguously keeping this article. --Mark viking (talk) 05:55, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As discussed on the talk page: the Yahoo News source is user submitted material, the Fakeshoredrive piece is a mere 55 words introducing a music video (and thus trivial), and the HipHop Weekly and The Hype's clothing entries, well... I don't read hiphop magazines, and perhaps they do write in sheer layers of hype, but those things read a lot more like something written by the artist's promotional team than like uninvolved third party coverage. That leaves the Hype interview piece, for which only one question assumes that the interviewer had any knowledge of the artist at all, and which overall qualifies as "the musician or ensemble talks about themselves", stuff excluded from notability consideration per WP:BAND. --Nat Gertler (talk) 18:26, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I review this article and peruse other artists pages I agree that perhaps I should take this out of article space and over to draft space. Although there are MANY artist articles with similar or less media coverage surrounding them, I don't want to create a sub-par article. Is there a way for me to take it out of the article space and back into draft mode rather than losing it altogether? I would appreciate that opportunity. Nat I understand that perhaps you do not read hip hop magazines and YES, there is a different flavor to the writing with those outlets. I would point out however, that the hip hop magazines ARE the bible for the global hip hop community and therefore have much more impact on the entertainment industry as a whole than would say Chicago Sun Times. Standard tier 1 media, i.e., WSJ, LA Times, Forbes, have almost zero importance in the hip hop world or urban music community at-large.

It is not my intention to disrespect anyone or their experience I would just humbly suggest that the editor's of Wikipedia expand their knowledge of what is important media coverage outside of the standard, Time, People, Rollingstone, etc. when classifying media status. Thank you for all your work Nat and attempts to assist me in finding more relevant outside resources.Theurbanlink (talk) 15:17, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, I'm not putting down the indicative value of The Hype or Hip Hop Weekly, but rather addressing the individual articles, which at least by sniff test appear to be press releases... and, doing further research, not without reason, as you can see the The Hype material here labeled as a press release. Wikipedia standards say that press releases, even when reposted or even reworked by significant sites, do not add to notability. A press release posted at Forbes.com would get the same treatment. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:33, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I thank you very much for your patient explanations, they are much appreciated. I understand that press releases are not solid source documents now. I WOULD point out however, that press releases are how many media outlets get their information for articles and use those pieces as the editorial content for their stories. I as a writer, receive press release material from Associated Press, UPI, PRNewswire, etc., and if you see a syndicated story that has the insert (Associated Press), that is material from a press release and is utilized to syndicate stories across the globe with the same content. But as I said in a previous posting here, if there is a way to take the article back to the draft stage, I would be happy to flesh it out according to your great explanations so that it is a fit for Wikipedia. I want to do things right and not do anything to weaken the Wikipedia brand and I want to grow as a solid contributor to Wikipedia. I have no personal attachment to the article or person addressed within, I felt as a journalist, this person was worthy of coverage and inclusion and that his media coverage within the entertainment media community was notable enough...I was wrong.

This article is about a restaurant. It is not clear that the restaurant is notable and the article is very poorly organized and is rife with errors. I am nominating it for deletion specifically to clear up the question of notability. Dusty|💬|You can help! 19:00, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have added eight new articles to prove notability. St. Lars is one of Norway's most famous restaurants. It is interesting with it's unique take on food (everything goes on the custom made grill) and produce (horse, bear and the like). And the mix of three very different and prominent owners - world know tv-host, venture capitalist and Grammy-winning producer, makes it highly relevant and notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leanphil (talk • contribs) 19:22, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

St. Lars is probably Norway's most important new restaurant (Maemo aside) the last five years. Always controversial, always good reviews and always in the news. All famous Norwegians eat there.

I agree with Leanphil and Entotrefir. St. Lars is really something totally different.

Comment — I am almost certain that three, and perhaps four, of the editors who commented here to support keeping the article are the same person. Perhaps an administrator with sockpuppet investigation privileges can investigate. The three editors in question, Entotrefir, Leanphil, and StkSE13, each with very brief and young Wikipedia histories, have been working only on a narrow range of overlapping articles of Nordic interest, containing a great deal of marketing-bloated prose before I cleaned them up.

Weak keep. Delete (without prejudice for future). The subject of the article may very well meet Wikipedia's notability criteria in the future, but does not appear to do so at present. The references which might appear to indicate notability are mainly brief mentions, for instance the reference to the usual acknowledgements in a book listing all the people the author would like to thank. This is mainly counter-productive; it would be easier to check notability if all the minor references and peacockery were removed. --Boson (talk) 23:20, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I have changed my opinion to "weak keep". Though I don't think the subject clearly satisfies WP:GNG, in that the person has not obviously "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", I think there is borderline justification for applying WP:Academic (". . . may also work outside academia (e.g., in industry, financial sector, government, as a clinical physician, as a practicing lawyer, etc.) and their primary job does not have to be academic in nature . . ." and "the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area"). She has clearly been frequently interviewed on television etc. in her capacity as an expert. With the promotional elements removed, I think the encyclopedia benefits from having an article on this person; so I think there is a case for interpreting the rules generously. --Boson (talk) 23:51, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This Wikipedia article is specifically mentioned in this piece with the subject implicitly labelled as a self-promoter. Important notability claims remain unsourced in the article, for example:

Navidi frequently appears as a keynote speaker and panelist all over the world - one reference to an AXA roadshow where she was a guest speaker
She frequently appears as an expert in international media outlets and as a guest speaker at various events. - no reference
She has been interviewed on ARD, ZDF,Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), Bayrischer Rundfunk, n-tv, Arte TV, Deutsches Anlegerfernsehen, CNBC, Fox Business, CCTV China, Phoenix TV China and Voice of America - Unreferenced list of television appearances linked only to channels

The only sourced notability claim is to appearing on Wall Street Warriors, a programme formerly broadcast on "Mojo HD". It seems she appeared in up to 6 episodes in 2006. The source given with the 2012 appearance is just a page with an embedded YouTube video. It's difficult to judge the reliability of these two German sources but there's certainly not significant coverage of the subject. The Career section is pure puffery.

Of course, lack of sources isn't a reason for deletion but the subject clearly has not recieved significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, thus failing WP:BIO. The academic claim above is not applicable, per the subject not meeting any of the criteria of WP:PROF, or making any claim of research or academic credentials.

Keep I just reviewed the notability criteria for biographies. One acceptable criteria is that "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". I have these sources which are directly about Navidi. Here are three examples (taken from the External links section)

The result was delete Convey Computer, merge Hybrid-core computing. This one is a bit difficult since this is a double nomination, and not all voters explicitly mentioned what article they are talking about. Still, the two voters who said smth about Convey Computer agree that it does not obey the notability policies; hence, it is deleted. For Hybrid-core computing, there is no ambiguous consensus, and merging into Heterogeneous computing seems to be the decision closest to consensus: All information is retained, and if ever this technology becomes notable or sources appear sufficiently demonstrating notability it can be restored.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:33, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Heterogeneous computing. Hybrid core technology is notable and will likely become important, but it's probably best to cover the topic in one article.

The paper is a primary source for the product (so could be added to the Hybrid-core computing) and doesn't tell us anything about the company, we need secondaries for notability for both. Widefox; talk 13:20, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Hybrid core computing is completely different really from Heterogeneous computing as a subject. Heterogeneous computing covers the whole gamut of computing as it stands processes, products, hardware, software. Hybrid core systems is a computing architecture that is new, but is becoming increasingly common. One early example is the current range of Intel Ivy Bridge processors which combine multiple GPU and CPU's cores. Other newer examples combine ASIC's with CPU to accelerate specific software types like High-performance computing. As regards the article itself, it certainly has plenty of WP:POTENTIAL and there is numerous sources in Google Books and Google Scholar. scope_creep (talk) 00:35, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fails notability as per WP:ORG. I conducted an Internet search and found nothing but Facebook pages and Tumblr results. No one notable has ever graduated from here, nothing notable appears to have ever taken place here, and there appears to be no coverage in any media by any reliable third-party sources anywhere to be found.

Keep - We keep high schools for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian schools because, unlike US schools for example, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched since no evidence has been adduced that this school cannot meet notability requirements. TerriersFan (talk) 22:33, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've always voted to keep large institutions. They are used by 100's of folk every day and that makes them notable. scope_creep (talk) 00:39, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep First of all, this nomination is deeply flawed. The nominator claims to have conducted an "internet search", didn't find sources readily at hand on a computer screen, and thereby concludes that the the school isn't notable. The nominator fails to mention which languages were used in that search. The common languages spoken in Srinagar are Kashmiri and Urdu. I would expect that the nominator would inform us that in-depth searches had been performed in Kashmiri and Urdu. But no. Nominator relies on the essay WP:All high schools can be notable but ignores the heart of the second paragraph:

"However, outside the Anglosphere, particularly for countries in Asia and Africa, Internet coverage is very poor. Where this is the case then, to avoid systemic bias, local sources should be sought. This may involve researching local media, for example at a neighboring library."

We all know that reliable sources need not be readily available online. So, I ask the nominator, has a paper search been conducted in a library or perhaps a newspaper archive in or near Srinagar as recommended by the very essay you cited? Atlantima, ~~who is very eager to see an article about a secondary school deleted,~~ has jumped in quickly before anyone else (such as a guy like me) has the opportunity to mention WP:SYSTEMICBIAS. So be it. However, systemic bias was mentioned in the essay that the nominator used in the argument to delete, so I consider mentioning it fair game. I believe that every single editor of this encyclopedia has the obligation to try to avoid systemic bias, because that bias is an insidious enemy of our goal of developing a comprehensive and neutral worldwide information resource. The nominator also writes "No one notable has ever graduated from here, nothing notable appears to have ever taken place here". What does this have to do with whether or not an article about a secondary school should be kept? Is the nominator arguing that secondary schools inherit notability from notable graduates, or that the school would be notable if only some notable event (I can't imagine what) had occurred there? I am tempted to oppose this nomination solely on the procedural ground that the nomination itself is fatally flawed. But the flaws speak for themselves. Instead, I will advance the argument that WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is an exceptionally useful rule of thumb, that it accurately describes and summarizes our working consensus over quite a few years, and that it keeps this type of debate to a minimum. Articles about the vast majority of secondary schools are in, and we work to expand them and reference them as time goes by. Articles about the vast majority of primary schools are out. Done deal. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not "eager to see an article about a secondary school deleted". That statement seems to come very close to a personal attack on me. I'm simply trying to enforce the notability guidelines. It just so happens that secondary schools are routinely given exemption from those guidelines for no clear reason. No guideline or policy says that we should counter systemic bias by lowering our standards for proof of notability. -- Atlantima ~✿~ (talk) 14:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, there's your problem. Notability guidelines are not "enforced". They're guidelines. Nothing more. Your attempts to act as some sort of unofficial enforcer for something which does not need enforcing are getting you nowhere. You are mistaking Wikipedia for some sort of monolithic bureaucracy, which it isn't and never has been. We work by consensus. How many high school articles can you show us that have been deleted at AfD? See? That's consensus! -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:32, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I was originally to going to vote to delete, though reading Wikipedia:Notability (high schools) has swayed me on this one. I think notability can be demonstrated, but the article's creator has simply failed to do so up till now. MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:37, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:But there must be sources!: We keep articles because we know they have sources, not because we assume they have, without having seen them. Any claim that sources exist must be verifiable. Unless you can indicate what and where the sources are, they are not verifiable.-- Atlantima ~✿~ (talk) 14:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Atlantima, I have struck out the comment you didn't like. I am not criticizing you as an individual; I am disagreeing with you on this particular issue. As a matter of fact, I consider healthy disagreement at AfD to be an essential part of the process of developing a more nuanced understanding of consensus, and I respect your input.

You yourself pointed out that this school is mentioned in the English language source "The Indian Geographical Journal" from 1934. It is also discussed briefly in another English language source, a 2002 newspaper article in The Tribune, called Heavy polling at Salahuddin’s village, where it is reported that this high school functions as an election polling station. This tells us that the school had been in existence for at least 68 years. Of course, I wish that we had more source material readily available in English. But no one, so far, has reported searching for sources in Kashmiri or Urdu, the languages of Srinigar. I consider these two sources to be enough, for now, for a brief stub on the school, which can be expanded in the future. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the relevant sections into Students for Justice in Palestine and Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions and delete article. Some of this belongs on the SJP page, and any general unique characteristics this article attributes to student BDS activism can go on the BDS page, as well as a few exemplary student BDS actions, so as to make the BDS article more comprehensive. As others have mentioned, there are inaccuracies even in the lead: "The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement has been led by student activists on college campuses. Campus chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) have prominently sponsored action in universities." In truth, student BDS activism is but a part of the international BDS movement which incorporates segments from all strata and sections of society, and it's essentially impossible to qualify or quantify which of these segments "leads" the BDS movement (especially since BDS is more of a strategy with constantly-evolving tactics than it is a "movement" as such), and, strictly speaking, if there is a "leader" of the BDS movement, it is the aggregate of persons and organizations from within Palestinian civil society from whom the 2005 BDS call originated. There's no "leader" in either a hierarchical sense or an understanding based on impact or effect. As to the second sentence in the lead, this has been brought up before in other discussions, but SJP doesn't really have "chapters", as SJP as an organization is completely decentralized and lacks any sort of regional, national, or international hierarchy (though some have amusingly tried to impose such a structure upon SJP). I realize these are more nitpicks than cogent defense of my suggestion to merge, but I think these issues speak to the greater problem with this article: what little content included in it isn't directly copied from other pages would likely have to be cut anyway for being factually incorrect, misleading, or at least lacking in a reliable source.

List of diver training organizations

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

This article has deteriorated into a list of names and weblinks of any organisation that offers dive training, and Wikipedia is not a directory. The selection criteria for this list is simply too imprecise to keep out spammers and the list no longer has encyclopedic value. RexxS (talk) 22:55, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 23:41, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything raised in your deletion rationale except for cleanup and maintenance issues. Those are not valid grounds for deletion; see WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:SUSCEPTIBLE. And the selection criteria could simply be "merits an article", as it is with most lists of X where most examples of X are not notable. postdlf (talk) 01:01, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The current title allows a huge number of non-notable organisations on the grounds that they are organised groups of people and that they train divers. Virtually every dive shop, dive school and dive club in the world fits this requirement.

What criterion for notability would we apply in this case?

A more exclusive criterion would be diver certification organisations which independently issue diver certification recognised by at least one other notable organisation. The organisations currently listed are mostly in this category. I suspect that this was the original intention for the list, but the name was not well chosen, and no conditions for inclusion were provided. A better name for the article might be 'List of diver certification organisations • • • Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 06:05, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What criterion? Simply, "does this merit an article"? For which we have WP:ORG and WP:GNG (probably nothing more subject-specific) to guide us in that determination. If it already has an article, then it obviously goes in, and judging from Category:Underwater diving training organizations it looks like there are plenty of articles on individual orgs. If it's a redlink, then we remove it if there's no reason to believe it should have an article based on available secondary sources. This is not a new problem or one unique to this list. We do this all the time.
And it's simply a matter of style choice that the title does not include "notable" as a limitation; the omission of that does not legally bind us to literally include all training organizations that exist. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#List naming: "[T]he precise inclusion criterion of the list should be spelled out in the lead section (see below), not the title. For instance, words like 'complete,' 'famous' and 'notable' are normally excluded from list titles. Instead, the lead makes clear whether the list is complete, or is limited to famous or notable members (i.e., those that merit articles)." postdlf (talk) 16:30, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately you are mistaken, Postdlf. "Has a Wikipedia article" is not an acceptable list inclusion criterion for anything other than navigation pages. If the article is to be a list of diver certifying agencies, then there are grounds for the maintenance you suggest - although I don't see that you've made any attempt to do the maintenance yourself, otherwise I guess you would have realised how difficult it is to work out, for example, whether SNSI in Italy is actually a certifying agency, considering that the article is essentially free of any references that would help decide that point. As it stands, it is a spam magnet and continual clean-up is not a productive use of dwindling editor resources. --RexxS (talk) 21:35, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a navigational list in as much as it lists articles by a fact their subjects share in common, complementary to Category:Underwater diving training organizations. If an organization's status as such cannot be verified, then it should not only not be in the list, but also not be in that category (and its notability would be questionable if such basic info is not available in any RS). Verifying individual entries is, again, a clean up issue, as there are no doubt notable orgs for which that fact can be verified. BTW, I assume you meant to treat "training" and "certification" synonymously here, but it would be more clear to stick to the term the list uses. postdlf (talk) 22:35, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No it isn't a navigational list. The only ones that exist outside of category space are disambiguation pages. Don't get confused with the requirements for what needs to be included in a category - that properly only includes Wikipedia pages. A "diver training organisation" may be taken to be an organisation that delivers diver training and there are thousands of dive shops, dive centres and dive clubs that do that. It's simply too broad for a sustainable list. You also assume wrongly: Diver certification is a process defined by a diver certification agency which has to meet certain agreed standards in most jurisdictions world-wide; Diver training is the process undergone by a trainee diver in order to receive a certification. The number of agencies that set the certification process is relatively small; the number of outlets that are licensed to carry out the training is legion. And therein lies the problem with this article. --RexxS (talk) 04:37, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Care to tell us where you got the idea that the only "navigational lists" in article space are disambiguation pages? See WP:LISTPURP, which explains that navigation between related articles is one of the main functions lists perform.
I've also already addressed above the incorrect notion that this list is somehow obligated to include the "thousands" of such organizations, just because they exist; the truth is that we can limit it to only organizations that merit articles and we do this routinely with lists. Whether you want this list to include "training organizations", as it and its corresponding category presently do, or "certifying organizations" is a separate issue and not an AFD concern, one you can deal with through normal editing and discussion).
I also don't know where you got the idea that the list cannot have the same inclusion criteria as the category; WP:CLN tells us the exact opposite, that they are complementary methods of organization. We could decide that a list and a category of the same name have different selection criteria, if we see some value in including non-notable entries for example, or we could decide that a list be limited to notable entries only and so have only the articles that go in the corresponding category. postdlf (talk) 15:43, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The main purpose of stand-alone lists is to provide information, not navigation - see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists. Here's the list of Featured Lists - please feel free to point out to me the ones that are navigation lists. This article is a stand-alone list. It has a clear description in the lead of what it contains: "This page lists SCUBA diver training organizations". The article on diver training states "Competent diving instructors may work independently or through a university, a dive club, a dive school or a dive shop. They will offer courses that meet, or exceed, the standards of the certification organization that they work with. Many dive shops in popular holiday locations offer courses that try to teach you to dive in a few days, and can be combined with your vacation". So yes, universities, dive clubs, dive schools and dive shops may be diver training organisations, and tens of thousands of them are eligible for this article as it stands. As you already know, subjects that are not notable are just as acceptable as entries in lists, which is why we don't use "Has a Wikipedia article" as the inclusion criterion. In any case, this article already has masses of entries that fit the current selection criteria (and potentially many thousands more). If you want to change the selection criteria to something useful (and "Has a Wikipedia article" isn't - because of the Western ethnocentric bias in en-wp), then please tell us how to trim the current list to fit your new criteria for "List of diver training organizations" at the same time. If it was that easy, it would have been done by now. --RexxS (talk) 22:59, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments continue to suggest that you still haven't read or understood WP:LISTPURP and WP:CLN regarding the navigational function of lists, but whatever. As you asked, I looked through the list of Featured Lists, and the FL List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: A (among a few others in the same alpha-divided series) would be seen by most editors as primarily a navigational list. It is an annotated index of articles and articles only (i.e., "has a Wikipedia article" as the only inclusion criteria for which verified GLB people to include) subdivided alphabetically for convenience. postdlf (talk) 00:09, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've read them, and I understand - although you seem not to - that they don't represent the reality of lists on Wikipedia, as I've tried to explain to you. You see a list like List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: A with a relatively full lead and each entry having birth & death dates, nationality, notability, notes and a reference ("annotations"!!); and you suggest it is "seen by most editors as primarily a navigational list" - and that was the best you can do? We obviously aren't likely to have much common ground, are we? Nevertheless, in the interest of finding consensus, I'll cheerfully concede that a "List of famous X" will almost certainly contain only entries that have a Wikipedia article, and "List of notable X" will always fit that bill, even when they are not navigational. But does that help us with "List of diver training organizations"? Are you suggesting that we retrospectively change the selection criterion to be "notable diver training organizations", and chop out all the ones that don't have a Wikipedia article? --RexxS (talk) 04:43, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is to be deleted, what do we do with the useful information?

The information is never lost, but it may be better to write the article you suggest, Peter, with an accurate title and manageable inclusion criteria. That would also allow the possibility of this list becoming a redirect to such an article rather that just being deleted. --RexxS (talk) 21:35, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I appreciate nom's concerns. Left alone one of three things will happen. (A) someone will set a limiting criterion and trim the list back. (B) Someone will set a limiting criterion, but not trim the list back, so that it will grow, but only slowly. (C) It will get parsed out by geographically, and you'll have pages like "List of diver training organizations in Australia." All three outcomes would be enough of an improvement. I don't see a need to delete the page as it currently is, and potential spamability, while a concern, is not a criterion for deletion. Listmeister (talk) 18:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Colossal Connection worked with Heenan for a short period of time in the scheme of The Heenan Family's entire existence (which was over 20 years). Even with this in mind, The Colossal Connection lasted a year, had some high profile feuds, and won the titles. Although Heenan was their manager, thus making them technically part of the Heenan family, their accomplishments stand on their own. I'm not sure what more notability you could ask for.LM2000 (talk) 03:58, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and warn user about disruptive nominations - Notability is clearly established through reliable secondary sources, and team is obviously notable on its own. Tag team champions, who are the subject of sufficient coverage, need more than a single sentence in a larger article. This article can certainly be expanded, but deleting or merging is ridiculous. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm abstaining from this, but I want to point out that the team was only in existence for a few months, not a year. It was formed not long after the Survivor Series in 1989 to replace the Brainbusters who had left the promotion, and split up at Wrestlemania in 1990. BerleT (talk) 07:54, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They formed in April 1989 and broke up after Wrestlemania 6 in April 1990. Their title reign alone lasted nearly 4 months. Either way longevity is only part of their notability, with or without it they still fit WP:GNG as Gary Coleman pointed out.-LM2000 (talk) 14:47, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No they did not form in April 1989. They formed in November. Andre was fighting for the intercontinental title between Summerslam and Survivor Series, and before Summerslam he was feuding with Big John Studd. BerleT (talk) 00:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:GNG and is pure WP:PROMO. Qworty (talk) 06:01, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GNG - What? Academic peer-reviewed research publications are not considered self-published, they're the most reliable of all reliable sources. The guidelines against spam should not be used to delete coverage of scientific research, they're fundamentally different things. These two articles contain a respectable collection of references from different authors with a high count of citations. If there's a conflict of interest, the community's responsibility is to review and assess the credibility of each individual claim, not to sweep everything under the carpet. The reasons why this content may be non-neutral have not even been addressed at the article's talk page; deletion should be a last resort if it was impossible to fix the problems, which seems unlikely. Diego (talk) 08:35, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a straw man argument. Nobody here asserted that peer-reviewed publications are self-published. It is WP:COI that prevents those sources from being reliable sources, not the way they were published. Academic papers are generally reliable sources unless there is COI. Researchers have to disclose COI. If you look at the edit history, nearly all references in this article are first-party sources added by their authors. These are not independent third-party or secondary sources that WP:GNG calls for. If there is still confusion, see WP:Third-party_sources Adblock2 (talk) 18:17, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's a severe misunderstanding of WP:RS and WP:COI somewhere in your argument. The fact that an academic paper is reliable has nothing to do with the behavior of its author on Wikipedia, it's only related to how the other independent researchers have received it. You should be reading policy, not essays (see WP:SCHOLARSHIP - a research paper that has been vetted by the scholarly community is regarded as reliable. If the material has been published in reputable peer-reviewed sources or by well-regarded academic presses, generally it has been vetted by one or more other scholars."). An article that has been peer reviewed, published by a university and cited by others is not "first party". Please read WP:SELFCITE where it says that "Using material you have written or published is allowed within reason". Remember that editing under a conflict of interest is not forbidden, it's only discouraged because researchers are likely to get neutrality policies wrong - something that other editors can fix (and should), not delete. If a neutral editor agrees with the edits made, those are perfectly fine. Once again, content discussion should be decided on content policy, not behavioral guidelines. The author's biography is WP:SELFPROMOTION and should be deleted, but the articles about science aren't the same thing at all; don't throw the baby away with the dirty bath water.

Keep/merge Seems similar to social search and social information seeking which are all notable topics. Warden (talk) 09:36, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Nominator's arguments are, at best, evidence for redirecting or merging; either we should keep this article or redirect it to social search. Moreover, authors are welcome to cite their own works if said works have been properly published in peer-reviewed contexts, and the only reason we would delete a page that's safe in this way is if it were so heavily self-promotional that it qualified for speedy deletion as promotional or for WP:TNT treatment; after looking over the article, I'm confident that it qualifies for neither of them. Merging is a discussion that can be held separately; I have no opinion on it. Nyttend (talk) 05:07, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that redirect is the best solution in this case. My thinking was that this discussion is necessary because redirect would delete the current promotional content. Merge would be a less desirable option. Merge runs a risk of making social search biased towards covering the work of a couple of researchers who are active at self-promotion at the expense of majority of other researchers who follow the guidelines and avoid making COI edits. This is a common problem I see in many articles. Adblock2 (talk) 16:43, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to redirect it, why don't you withdraw the AFD? AFD is supposed to be used in circumstances when you want to see a link to the article turn red, not when you want it to send you to a different page. Nyttend (talk) 21:45, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - bad nomination, WP:COI and behavior from editors are not reasons for deletion, since the article's creator doesn't own the article. No claim as to why the content could be non-neutral beyond redemption, so no reason to delete is given; behavioral guidelines don't uphold deletion of articles, content guidelines do. The Google Scholar link above returns an abundance of research papers from numerous independent researchers, so the WP:GNG is more than met. Diego (talk) 08:43, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A quick GScholar search shows over 270 hits for the term and multiple papers where this topic is a central part of the paper. The topic is notable. While there may be issues with neutrality and due weight in the article, correcting these is a matter of editing, not deletion. The topics social search and collaborative information seeking and Social information seeking all seem to have some overlap, but organizing or merging these topics can be done outside of AfD.

These words should not be used interchangeably, and so these topics should not be merged. Having said that, the article on social information seeking could use more material, preferably by different authors, along with more scholarly references.

This seems like a case of misinformation if I'm not mistaken.. The term "Ngưu Lang Chức Nữ" is a Vietnamese translation of the Chinese "Niulang Zhinu", meaning "The Cowherd and Weaver Girl".

Keep. According to the relevant articles themeselves, the Qixi Festival is based on a nameless Chinese tale about two lovers. The article in question seems to be a deviation of it. Also, clicking on the Google, scholar, and books links provides a large trove of sources. This article needs expansion, but it is notable. Deadbeef (talk) 06:53, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The links provide solely Vietnamese-language hits, which just highlight the fact that this is misinformation. There is no hits for Nguu Lang Chuc Nu (with or without diacritics) for English sources, supporting the fact that the hits are due to a native name for something foreign, namely the Chinese tale (which is not nameless by the way). There is no references for the existence of the article topic, namely a native Vietnamese festival (the article's scope) or a Vietnamese tale. I should note that the misinformation is highlighted by the scope as indicated by the lead sentence (stating that it's a festival) or the festival-stub template, which is placed by the article creator (the sole content contributor); this contradicts the article title, which is about a tale. Simply said, there's little that indicates something other than misinformation. --Cold Season (talk) 16:41, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable philosophy, neologism supported by a single blog site. Juliamars999 (talk · contribs) has also added this to numerous articles, so a broader cleaning may be necessary. JNW (talk) 00:07, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While there may not be much academic research citing this term, much of what happens in the world of thought is not represented by academia, or the mainstream press. Hygiecracy, however, is a political theory of substantial rigor and merit that has been discussed in avant garde circles for some time, and is relevant to questions and discussions of constitutional theory and constitutional interpretation. In addition to being supported by the blog, it is also supported by an article published on counterpunch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliamars999 (talk • contribs) 00:19, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If there's not much academic research--I could find none whatsoever, and neither of the sources offered satisfy guidelines at WP:RELIABLE; but for a brief reference to Hygieia, the Counterpunch article doesn't seem to even mention it at all--then this doesn't pass WP:NOTABILITY. Nobody is arguing the philosophy's merit, but there's no evidence that it merits an encyclopedia article. JNW (talk) 00:26, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - the Counterpunch article refers to the basic hygiecratic argument, related to the maxim salus populi... I accept the position that it does not satisfy certain guidelines. However, guidelines are just that - guidelines. They are not laws, or even rules. As such, it seems that one has flexibility, and discretion to some degree, with adhering more or less rigidly to guidelines. It seemed to me that this concept merited an encyclopedia entry. The last thing I wanted to do was to compromise the integrity of wikipedia. I am not convinced that this entry does that. But I will yield to consensus. Juliamars999
Delete Counterpunch all point to the same author with the same blog. Seems to violate WP:OR. Could be a new and important concept in the future, but certainly not at the moment. Wikipedia will never be at the edge of human thinking. scope_creep (talk) 23:21, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Delete as a Non-Notable Neologism. I'm a big believer in getting a sense of the notability of subjects from the size of their Google footprint, under the premise that from an eclectic iceberg of sufficient size odds are that a reliably-sourced snowcone can be made. At a mere 1430 hits for the term, I doubt there are enough reliable sources to make a piece of cocktail ice... Of course there is a "Hygiecracy" blog and a "Hygiecracy" facebook page, tipping off the likelihood of promotional intent behind a WP presentation of this purported subject. The term is not notable now (a GNG failure), and I doubt that it ever will be. Carrite (talk) 00:38, 15 April 2013 (UTC) Last edit: Carrite (talk) 00:39, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am curious as to whether anyone else sees the irony in enforcing guidelines when - by the very definition of "guideline" in wikipedia's very own page - see Guideline - "guidelines are not binding and are not enforced." They are not laws, they are guidelines. This is not offensive material. Has Wikipedia become the Catholic Church? Juliamars999 (talk)Juliamars999 —Preceding undated comment added 00:59, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment That a subject is inoffensive is a quality unrelated to its notability, and notability is a non-negotiable guideline. Parenthetically, when a new account edits at Wikipedia with the apparent intent of writing about or promoting a single subject, then responds to AfD feedback by questioning the website's integrity, the criticism is not likely to be taken to heart. Now I have to go and don my vestments. JNW (talk) 02:36, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Counter-comment I never questioned the website's integrity. I wrote that compromising - well, anyone who is interested can re-read what I wrote. It is not tremendously complicated and does not require interpretation. Just look up a few lines. Secondly, my account has been around for months; since when did ad hominems become acceptable as logic? Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the contradiction involving guidelines remains. A non-negotiable guideline is still a guideline. Juliamars999 (talk)Juliamars999 —Preceding undated comment added 03:03, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Um, counter-counter comment If not questioning its integrity, perhaps I've misinterpreted the intent in asking if Wikipedia has become the Catholic Church. And the edit history [53] indicates that the first contribution was made April 12. As for perceived contradictions in guidelines, if one's interest is truly geared toward changing the process by which subjects are deemed noteworthy, then this is most probably not the best venue. Nor will it carry the day in an AfD. JNW (talk) 03:37, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment The quip regarding the church was intended to draw attention to dogmatism. I apologize if it caused offense. Drawing attention to dogmatism, however, is relevant when the issue is Guidelines (which according to Wikipedia's own entry on the matter "are not binding and not enforced"). I am sincerely interested in learning how this contradiction is reconcilable. Are Wikipedia's Guidelines not actually guidelines (even according to Wikipedia's own entry)? Are they called Guidelines, but are actually Rules? Please clarify. This actually seems to be a serious interpretive problem. Because, if they are guidelines then they are not supposed to be enforced and ought to be non-binding. I recognize that we do not see eye to eye on this, but I am honestly pursuing this in good faith Juliamars999 (talk)Juliamars999 —Preceding undated comment added 04:01, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment: Juliamars999, you have correctly pointed out that Wikipedia is governed by "guidelines", including a notability "guideline" (codified at WP:Note), and that occasional exceptions to guidelines may apply. However, given that a guideline on Wikipedia is treated as a default rule, and any deviation from it is an "exception", the burden is on the proponent of the exception to prove that it is warranted. Thus far, I have seen you proffer no evidence supporting your view that Hygiecracy should be considered an exception to Wikipedia's notability guideline, other than by mentioning that the topic is not offensive. Do you have any other support for your view? Furthermore, the term "hygiecracy" facially appears to be a neologism, which are generally prohibited by WP:NEO. Do you have any evidence that the term is in fact not a neologism, or if it is a neologism, why an exception should be made in this instance? If not, note from WP:NEO that "Wiktionary's inclusion criteria differ from Wikipedia's [in that Wiktionary] may cover neologisms that Wikipedia cannot accept. You may wish to contribute an entry for the neologism to Wiktionary instead." –Prototime (talk · contribs) 03:46, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @JuliaMars. There actually are inclusion standards at WP, although judging by some of the dreck you will see it is difficult to grasp. Good luck with the blog and all, but the term itself would not seem to meet muster. I tell newcomers who are sucked into the Articles For Deletion maelstrom that AfD is sort of like traffic court: it doesn't matter if other people are speeding, once one is in the system it is a matter of defending one's innocence of the charges — and that means mustering multiple published reliable sources substantially covering the topic in question. Arguing that the laws are stupid and that one should be given a break just because doesn't work. Do try editing a few Wikipedia articles with an open mind, you might come to enjoy it. Sorry that you are probably on the wrong side of the dividing line here. Best regards, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 02:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note that my opinion is colored by Frgewhqwth's actions, which I see as in bad faith (or at least reckless and rude). —Ignatzmice ^talk _contribs 00:21, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It/she's notable. Davey2010 Talk 21:39, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – a) Procedural: no reason provided by nominator; lack of good will. b) As pointed out by Ignatzmice, five years after the previous AfD, she's accumulated some notable roles in notable shows as required by WP:NACTOR. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:56, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
