Substub on a long-defunct minor company. ("Chain" is too strong a word; at the time of their closure they had two branches, and at their maximum extent had six.) It's vanishingly unlikely that any source other than the occasional mention in local papers will exist, even if someone one day wants to expand it. (For anyone fancying doing WP:BEFORE work, for obvious reasons "S&M" is unlikely to give you what you're looking for on Google; searching their main branch's address of "48 Brushfield Street" is your best shot.) ‑ Iridescent 08:19, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

A list of all possible hardware elements one may include in a computer is bound to reach this status at some point. Why would the use of categories, such as, not be adequate to achieve this, since they are already implemented in the target articles?

The article-subject has emailed me stating "I do not wish to be on Wikipedia... and wish to stay private... I live a private life and teach orphaned children..." Typically we have a strong preference to respect the privacy of people that are not public figures and of marginal notability, as is the case here. WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE also encourages us to errr on the side of deletion when specifically requested by the article-subject. The page has only 5-10 views per day and its value to Wikipedia or our readers is dwarfed by the harm/distress to the article-subject. CorporateM (Talk) 04:46, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Fails WP:TWODABS. Hardly there is something to disambiguate here that requieres a DAB page and a hat note could not serve for such purpose (see page views). © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 23:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Disambiguations-related deletion discussions. Everymorning (talk) 23:48, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: perfectly legitimate dab page. WP:TWODABS says "If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed", so is irrelevant and not "failed". No evidence here to suggest that either of these is the primary topic, so a dab page is correct. PamD 08:37, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
-
- I think you are misunderstanding your own quote: "If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed—it is sufficient to use a hatnote on the primary topic article, pointing to the other article." In simply terms, if you have two topics, and one of them is primary than the other, you don't need a dab page to do what a hat note can do. The Looney Tunes character is primary than the dancer, because 1, it has its own article (the dancer is just a redirect I created to see page views); 2, the multiple links the character is linked to; 3, the multiple external sources that are about the character; and 4, Rize is the only film the dancer has appeared, making her a WP:BLP1E case. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 15:40, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
-
- At present, until your statement above, neither topic has been asserted to be the Primary Topic. So what you should perhaps do is to request a move of Miss Prissy (Looney Tunes) to the base name Miss Prissy, as you are asserting that it is the primary topic, rather than AfD-ing this dab page. Then add a hatnote to that page to point readers interested in the dancer to the film. PamD 11:06, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- There's now a respectable little stub at Miss Prissy (dancer) - she caught my interest and seems notable - but I'd be quite happy to see the Looney Tunes character moved to the base name as primary topic, with a hatnote pointing to the dancer. PamD 11:55, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It is currently an impressive refbombed collection of every passing mention, primary source, and local paper that has mentioned the game, but shows no enduring or independent notability of its own. Remove the unreliable sources and there would be nothing left. The game had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. It is most often invoked as a cultural gateway into furry fandom so a redirect to its mention at Furry_fandom#Role-playing should suffice. czar 03:13, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

At the very least, WP:TOOSOON. This is an odd duck: a recently established film festival in the French capital... uniquely in English. No French organization name, even. As for coverage in reliable sources: Google reveals no bona fide reliable sources, and the few quotes and sources cited in the article doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH. I don't know how one manages to have an "international film festival" in a capital of world cinema almost unnoticed, but these chaps seem to have pulled it off.

This is an advertisement for an executive of a PR firm and political spin-doctor.

This isn't an AfD I file lightly; I don't think the subject is inherently non-notable, or unsuitable for a list. But. The list as it stands is pathetically scanty, mentions nothing released in the last 13 years (and the only two references date from 2005 and 1986 respectively), and is obviously unmaintained. Since there have been quite literally hundreds of such software packages -- heck, I've got several dozen online ones bookmarked -- and they come and go rapidly, this might just be an unmaintainable list. Ultimately, I think WP:TNT applies, although I wouldn't object if a few editors with a great deal of time on their hands proved me wrong in the next week. Ravenswing 20:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Searching for the term provided nothing of this sort. There were "virtual tabletops" but no "assist software" like in our article. At the very least it needs a rename, but I'd see a better fit for this being merged to some related article. The main one for tabletop doesn't quite fit. But that article needs a heavy redo in any case. At this point in time WP:TNT probably applies to our article. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 20:54, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Poorly sourced WP:BLP, with some advertorial leanings, of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for election to a city council — which is not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself. While it's claimed that his election race was "historic" because it went into a runoff with two minority candidates, that's not the basis for standalone WP:BLPs of the competitors — at best, its historicity might merit one or two sentences in Pearland, Texas. Pearland isn't a large enough city to make Derrick Reed, the guy who won the seat, notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia just for being a city councillor — and by definition, as an actual officeholder Reed is more notable than Wiltz would be as a losing candidate. Nothing here is a valid notability claim, and the sourcing isn't solid enough to pass WP:GNG. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 02:09, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

WP:BLP, based entirely on primary sources with not a shred of reliable source coverage shown, of a person whose only potentially valid Wikipedia notability claim is as a producer of low-budget independent horror films. Being a film producer does not entitle a person to an automatic "no sourcing required" inclusion freebie, but the level of reliable source coverage needed to get him in the door is not locatable. The only sources present here are his primary source profiles on the website of the city council that he also happens to serve on -- but city councillors don't get over WP:NPOL just for being city councillors.

This is an old enough game that I could believe that there are other paper sources out there not yet indexed by Google. Hence, basic information is verifiable, but it doesn't quite make it to the notability threshold. Redirecting to the more general article seems the best alternative at the moment, per WP:ATD, with keeping the article history for future source material per WP:PRESERVE.

Biography, which goes only about a millimetre further than "Topic is a person who existed, the end", of an agronomist whose only claim of notability is that he planted a small forest of exclusively local significance. Three of the four "sources" here are primary ones -- a press release from the forest's own management committee, the website of the county in which the forest is located and the website of the local conservation board -- and the only one that represents actual media coverage in a reliable source just namechecks his existence a single time in the process of failing to be about him.

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a local school board trustee and an unsuccessful candidate for the local fire department board -- neither of which is a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia per WP:NPOL. At this level of purely localized office, the media coverage of the officeholder has to nationalize before they can claim to have passed WP:GNG as an alternative path to inclusion -- but the coverage here is exclusively local, and thus demonstrates no reason why an international encyclopedia should concern itself.

- Purely local figures, such as school board trustees, are not eligible for Wikipedia articles on the basis of purely local coverage — they have to be demonstrated as significantly more notable than the norm, by virtue of getting unusual levels of coverage well beyond the ordinary level of local coverage that any school board trustee can always expect to get in the local media. Bearcat (talk) 06:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- So you're saying that coverage must be spread over a relatively large geographic area to qualify as "significant" under GNG? I don't see this in our guidelines anywhere. Routine coverage is already disregarded under ROUTINE regardless of territorial distribution. I see no need to read a "national coverage" criterion into the notability guideline, and I am somewhat concerned about the systemic bias such a requirement might introduce. Rebbing

WP:BLP of a politician notable only as a local authority councillor. The only other thing we've got here is a bit of local controversy about her unsuccessful attempt to win her party's nomination for the Holyrood election last week -- but being an unsuccessful candidate in a nomination contest or primary does not normally augment a person's notability at all, and the only thing that might lift her very slightly above the normal non-notability of unsuccessful nomination candidates simultaneously fails WP:BLP1E.

Does not appear to be a notable academic. Merely teaching, let alone on an honorary basis, at notable schools is not necessarily a claim to notability. A search for reliable sources results only in brief mentions. However, the article claims that he was once Vice President of the Leibniz Association and has been inducted in to the "Hall of Fame of Adult Education". I have no idea how prestigious either is, but it's possible that he could pass criterion #3 and maybe criterion #6 of WP:PROF, and I'll happily withdraw this nomination if it is shown that his position at the Leibniz Association is enough to pass criterion #3.

Almost as meaningless is using h index without considering the actual distribution of citations. 18 papers with 18 citations each give h=18, and so does 17 papers with 200 citations each and 1 with 18. The second is notable in essentially any field, the other usually not. In this case, the more highly cited works are mere reports, not peer-reviewed publications.,and so the citation figure doesn't matter at all--no academic becomes notable by such publications. In general I agree with the nominator: the positions are not intrinsically notable, nor likely to have references showing notability. A honorary doctorate from a major university is notable .West University of Timișoara is not in that category. "honorary professor: as used in the article means merely visiting professor.

Please remove the deletion tag. I agree the article can stand to be improved and I will strive to work on it going forward. Thank you! Sapiopath (talk) 00:06, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I think instead of deleting David Rothenberg (activist), one should delete the page which redirects to it as it is useless at the moment. The page which redirects to it is David rothenberg activist. Abhinav0908 (talk) 00:24, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - The question is as always whether there are (in the world, not necessarily in the article) sufficient Reliable Sources to support an article on this living person; any redirects can be tidied up separately. Currently the article is sourced only to a work by Rothenberg himself, which does not establish notability. However there are independent sources, e.g. Forward, New Jersey, Shelter Island Reporter, a Historical Dictionary of LG Lib. entry, Newark Sun Times, North Jersey, and so on. There is some difficulty with search because David Rothenberg the philosophy prof/jazz musician is also sometimes called an activist (on behalf of nature and the environment). However I think there is enough on this article's DR to demonstrate notability. What is required therefore is to source the article properly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:42, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment the article has been redirected and all links in this AfD page corrected to reflect the new article title David Rothenberg (activist). However, I still believe WP:GNG is rather questionable, as almost all sources cited are a book from the subject. See also article author's very similar article Fortune Society which has also been flagged for potential GNG issues. - SanAnMan (talk) 14:03, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

- Notability, if it exists, is proven from whatever sources exist (in libraries, on the web, in the world), not in whatever has been put in the article so far. We all agree the article is as yet poorly cited: the question is whether it is citeable, and it seems that it is. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:32, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a musician with no strong claim to passage of WP:NMUSIC, and no reliable source coverage to support it. All of her releases to date have been as the "feat." performer on other artists' singles -- but that's not an NMUSIC pass for an artist who has no releases as the lead performer -- or as the songwriter of songs which other artists recorded as album tracks, but did not release as singles -- which is not a WP:COMPOSER pass. And the sourcing here is entirely to blogs and discographies and chart listings, with no evidence of coverage in real media shown at all. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which any musician is entitled to have an article the moment she's been a guest performer on one other musician's recording -- it's an encyclopedia, on which reliable source coverage that verifies an NMUSIC pass is required for a musician to earn inclusion.

The company has been mentioned in numerous articles and blogs such as Small Business Trends, Capterra, Docurated and another TechCrunch article to name a few. I will however refer to DGG and your more experienced judgement since you seem to focus a lot more on articles for deletion that I do. For the record I have never worked for the company.

- Propose renaming Category:Cal State Los Angeles Golden Eagles football coaches to Category:Cal State Los Angeles Diablos football coaches
- Propose renaming Category:Cal State Los Angeles Golden Eagles football players to Category:Cal State Los Angeles Diablos football players
- Nominator's rationale: The sports teams at California State University, Los Angeles were known as the Diablos prior to 1981. Since the football program was disbanded following the 1977 season, relevant categories and articles should reflect the school's fight name at that time. Jweiss11 (talk) 01:32, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- Support name change. I was the creator of those categories but didn't realize the nickname had been Diablos at the time of the football team disbanding.

- Propose deleting Category:Nurse-politicians - ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: We generally avoid categorizing by a combination of two occupations. Exceptions are made for some combinations of occupation and politician, as with Category:Actor-politicians, Category:Astronaut-politicians, and Category:Sportsperson-politicians. The reason those are arguably OK is because it has been identified in reliable sources that these combinations are a "thing"—it is common in various countries for people who gain notability as an actor, or astronaut, or politician to leverage that notability into a political career. This is not the case with nurses—nurses are typically not the type of people who become widely known because of their occupation as a nurse. In other words, persons who have been both nurses and politicians are generally not defined by the combination of "nurse-politician". They may be defined by having been a nurse, and they are defined by being a politician, but not generally by the combination of the two. (The contents could be upmerged to the appropriate parent category for nurses and/or politicians, as needed. I'm happy to do this work if the categories are to be deleted.)

- Disambiguate - The first association that comes to mind is actually prominent Irish historical figure Éamon de Valera. In that case, "Long Fellow" was/is a rather well-known nickname. It's even used in book titles, as with Big Fellow, Long Fellow. At the same time, a lot of people are merely making a typo in writing "Longfellow" as well as perhaps searching for some other politician, military leader, etc to use the "long fellow" moniker (I semi-remember seeing other examples somewhere before).

- r.e. cannibalism, its that the fellow about to be eaten gets labeled "a piece of long pork" (allegedly, of course, with that catchphrase likely more an invention of horror movies than an actual saying). But that's really neither here nor there. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 07:48, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Triple meters
- Triple meters → Triple metre (links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
No you can't do this (Neelix redirect). a metre in poetry in rhyme or music even in British English is spelled thus that is a "useful distinction" as H. W. Fowler puts it in Modern English Usage. You can't then go buggering about with it like this. Si Trew (talk) 02:22, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Silver Cross (Canada)
- Silver Cross (Canada) → Memorial Cross (links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Pinging User:Ivanvector. Does this make any sense (neelix redirect) it is in the lede but the (Canada) at the back is what is worrying me. I am no numismatist so I think a second check on this one would help. In the UK a Silver Cross was a brand of pram or perambulator and we have a DAB at Silver Cross. Maybe swop over? nEELIX REDIRECT forgot to say. Si Trew (talk) 02:08, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
The Orrmulum
- The Orrmulum → Ormulum (links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
(neelix redirect) Not sure on this one. It's in the lede with the "the" but not sure. Maybe {{R from unnecessary something or other}}
but we don't tend to start articles or redirects with "the". Si Trew (talk) 02:01, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Paradox of time
- Paradox of time → Temporal paradox (links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
I am not sure on this one I have speedily kept and rcatted some for Temporal Paradoxes and such, but since this is such a kinda general term mentioned by Stephen Hawking and indeed Douglas Adams ("Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so" as Ford Prefect said) I wonder if this makes sense Si Trew (talk) 01:56, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Sun Hill, Hungary
- Sun Hill, Hungary → Naphegy (links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
No you can't do this (Neelix redirect). Náp in Hungarian means sun also just day (hólnap is tomorrow and tégnap is yesterday) and hegy means a hill but you can't back translate like that. Neelix seems not to know Hungarian but I use it daily, not well, but I can tell you for sure that this is nonsense. Si Trew (talk) 01:21, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Roy Chester Race
- Roy Chester Race → Roy Race (links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
I am pretty sure this is Neelix nonsense. At the Roodee in Chester, one of the two racecourses in England that go widdershins that would make sense, but there is no mention of Chester at the target. I Think this is nonsense but not 100 percent sure. Si Trew (talk) 01:17, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Aprill
(neelix redirect) This is an {{R from mispelling}}
really and should be tagged as such but I am not sure that this is a likely mispelling, may hinder search. Si Trew (talk) 01:05, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - This appears to be a real first name and last name of many people, some of which may even be notable (no idea for sure offhand). Even if this could be a valid redirect as a simple misspelling, I'm wary about keeping it since it would hinder possible page creation in terms of said real people.

Yusufzai (Pashtun tribe)
- Yusufzai (Pashtun tribe) → Yusufzai (links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
It is {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
pobably but not 100 percent sure. About 99 percenmt sure.(Neelix redirect) Si Trew (talk) 01:03, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Miss Universe Malta
- Miss Universe Malta → Miss Malta (links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Misleading redirect. Miss Universe Malta, which was just deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miss Universe Malta, is not related to the Miss Malta pageant. • Gene93k (talk) 00:34, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Patently Miss Malta can't be the queen of the Universe. Si Trew (talk) 01:06, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
