  • Delete; apart from the nomination, it's an unsourced list with perennially poor quality. bobrayner (talk) 02:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • One need only look at Category:Schools in Hyderabad, India to see that there are apparently plenty of notable schools that could fill a proper list of this scope. Whether it's worth it to rework this list or just blow it up and start over (i.e., delete without prejudice) is another question, but it's unquestionably a valid potential list subject. postdlf (talk) 02:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Undecided: I agree, this list is horribly poor quality; as many such lists tend to degrade to such a state. I'm not much of a fan of lists anyway. Categories can provide lists in a more proper state. This is not well sourced nor watched over, it seems. I'm perhaps saying 'begin again' but with little hope of improvement down the proverbial road. Fylbecatulous talk 13:32, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: nomination rationale have two points 1) Wikipedia is not directory — please see hundreds of similar articles and 2) notability — it is a list of school, so, notability is not valid point. As postdlf has referred the category, from web too, we can collect sources for individual schools. --Tito Dutta (contact) 22:41, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just a case of OTHER CRAP. Faizan -Let's talk! 06:18, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings, the first point of the nominator was Wikipedia is not a directory, the search link above shows that hundreds of such article exists. So, if WPDIR is applicable, it should be applicable to all, not just a list of Hyderabad, India! If that's so, they should gain consensus from TFC. This single AFD will take nowhere. The second point dealt with notability etc. Frankly, a large number of Indian cities have such lists, I don't understand why this articles has been AFDed! --Tito Dutta (contact) 07:56, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is the accepted to for handling this. Since it is accepted that all secondary schools are notable, and all primary schools should be redirected to the town or district. given the variety here, this will normally be the best place to redirect to. It's an except to the fact that all the entires must be notable , becuase list articles like this are how we handle the unnotable ones. DGG ( talk ) 06:31, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a person who has served in some extremely minor political roles such as staff member to a state senator and state governor, as well as a temporary member (not leader or chair, just a member) of the Texas Railroad Commission for a half-year. He was also one of 3 heads of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the state's environmental agency for several years. None of these are elected positions, and to my knowledge appointees to state commissions are not inherently noble, this this is a failure of WP:POLITICIAN. What little sourcing there is is routine and local, the simple reporting of a "so-and-so was appointed to such-and-such" variety, thus a failure of the WP:GNG. Tarc (talk) 23:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Obviously meets WP:POLITICIAN as I said when declining prod. He was not just "one of three heads", but the head as he served as chairman of the TCEQ and previously was the deputy secretary of state. Garcia was not some low-profile bureaucrat and the sourcing is anything but routine or local. Clearly, Tarc has not honored WP:BEFORE if thinks the coverage is all local and routine, though "local" coverage across a state more populous than most countries is nothing to sneeze at either.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 00:13, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:POLITICIAN is primarily intended to cover elected officials, as noted by part 3, "Just being an elected local official..." which does not even cover all elected positions 100%. If it doesn't 100% cover those elected to a position , then it most certainly does not extend automatically to non-elected officials. As for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Garcia held the chair of a 3-man committee. Again, not in itself a notable position. As for WP:BEFORE, it is not policy or even guideline, merely an essay-like suggestion. I always do brief searches for sources before nominating an article though, so the suggestion that this was nominated without checking is, bluntly, bullshit. There are press releases and scant coverage of jobs this man has taken and jobs this man has left. Nothing more of substance, though TDA is invited to try to find these mythical sources rather than browbeat the deletion discussion. The suggestion that the size of Texas makes its local coverage more notable than local coverage in an other state..or another country for that matter...is almost too laughable to address. "Everything is bigger in Texas" is a product of regional ego, not terribly applicable to the English Wikipedia and how it decides notability. Tarc (talk) 01:28, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:POLTICIAN also explicitly applies to judges, who are often not elected, so your suggestion that him being appointed means that it doesn't apply is mistaken. Indeed, if it applied to only popularly-elected officials this would mean countries where the highest-ranking official in a major subdivision is appointed would be excluded. Still if you want some sources that will make his notability seem more compelling to you then here you go.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 04:47, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The nominator is incorrect: the Texas Railroad Commission is a statewide elected body, and a powerful one, "historically one of the most important regulatory bodies in the nation" and "an important actor on the national energy stage".[1]. WP:POLITICIAN does not exclude someone who is appointed to fill a vacancy for this elective position, any more than would be someone appointed to a vacancy for any other elected statewide office. Such an exclusion rule would leave pointless gaps in our coverage, gaps that don't yield any benefit for those who may come here for information about this important elected body. Contrary to the nominator's intemperate edit summary comment when nominating this for AfD[2], the deprodding editor was hardly "obstinate" in exercising xis right to move a questionable prod to full consideration and taking the time to examine the question more carefully is not a "waste [of] 7 days".--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:45, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't say the Railroad COmmission wasn't an elected bosdy, so kindly take your strawman construction elsewhere. This person was appointed to it on an interim basis. The rest of your comment is quite easily dismissed as an WP:ITSUSEFUL hand-wave. Tarc (talk) 03:44, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This fulfills each part of the genereal notability guidelines. The refs are specifically about him, they are RS. It is an important position. Don't see a reason to delete.Capitalismojo (talk) 15:20, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Held multiple statewide offices of some prominence, and thus clearly satisfies WP:POLITICIAN. Has a marginal claim to GNG on the basis of sources quoted in the article as well. RayTalk 15:33, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Texas Railroad Commission is an important, state-wide, elected postion. It meets the requirments for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:42, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete — I agree with the comments regarding the promotional/COI nature of the edit history. These problems can theoretically be remedied, and should not be factors in this discussion, but they do explain why the article exists at all. That said, it fails WP:GNG as to substantial coverage by unrelated parties, and WP:CORPDEPTH miserably. JFHJr () 21:00, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable journal, fails GNG; whether or not it belongs on the list of "predatory" OA publishers, it doesn't meet our standards of notability. Note also that the PROD a few months ago was removed by a sockpuppet of Scholarscentral. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 05:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I've had the list of journals related to this on my to-do list for a while. Other than EB, I don't believe the other journals for which there are pages are notable, and are probably better deleted or redirected somewhere. DGG, is there a particular policy that you base this on? If there's a publisher who's only claim to notability is a single journal, I'm not sure it should have a separate article. a13ean (talk) 22:28, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Response What else does a publisher do but publish journals? If they publish notable ones, they are notable. The question is if there is only one--and here my argument is the same as with authors of a single notable book, that if they succeed, they are likely to have others become notable also. I see 13 of their journals are now in Scopus, so although I am reluctant to use Scopus alone for the notability of a journal, I think it's an indication of at least partial notability for them. Getting in JCR for a new publisher not linked with a major society is quite an accomplishment. DGG ( talk ) 01:49, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:ADVERTISING, More like a "second website" then an article. -
→Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 14:29, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as the subject of multiple instances of independent published coverage. For instance, HERE is an outstanding, history-driven piece on the website CycleEXIF entitled, "Brodie Bikes: The True Story." And while THIS piece on the site Vancouver Is Awesome may or may not count towards GNG, it is indicative that there is solid source material available for expansion and improvement of the piece. And THIS on the website of Mountain Life Magazine is all about the 2013 Brody product line and includes another short interview that could be mined for content by a serious Wikipedian. This is just scraping the very top of a simple Google search (see WP:BEFORE). Any problems with commercial tone (which I really am not seeing) are easily fixable through the normal editing process. Clearly a flying pass of GNG for this small Canadian bike manufacturing company. Carrite (talk) 15:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As a Vancouverite, Brodie has quite a history with North Shore mountain biking, as well as notable manufacturers and athletes at the helm. I was surprised at such a small article, not to mention the lack of an article about Paul Brodie, considering his recent induction into the MTB hall of fame. I agree with Carrite that expansion rather than deletion is the answer for this article. Meat monster (talk) 21:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

With reference to User talk:GB fan, added this page for deletion discussion based on WP:CSD#A7 WP:CSD#G11.

Page was initially listed for speedy, based on A7 and G11, but denied; as to stop a speedy deletion all it takes is a claim of significance. Claim of significance made by User:WestEndKat remains questionable - if sock or not, TBD by wiki security, refer to log: (Film Annex: Revision history) - appears to be inactive user now.

Be that as it may, the point here is that the article in question, is in essence, promotional, and as such a violation of guidelines, rules and policy. The Initial Claim is unsubstantiated, it is promotional and self-promotional by proxy (using notability circumvention)

Here is why:

Quote: "page should not be speedily deleted because... the Women's Annex Channel is very important..."

1) the Women's Annex Channel IS NOT Film Annex. Thus, question remains, why Film Annex should remain as article entry?

2) Notability (or the lack thereof) is verifiable. Looking at the references (1. through 19.) none of them are actual news coverage from economist, bloomberg, or any other independent, or verifiable source. References 20 through 22 are blatantly self-promotional.

3) Section "Notable Channels" refers to an individual, Roya Mahboob, who has a channel on Filmannex, as do others have channels on Youtube, Vimeo, or anywhere else. Section "Philantropy" is not referenced, and thus NOT verified by any other outside independent source. This is questionable practice, at the very least.

4) Fact is: Here is a private entity, i.e. filmannex.com, allowed having an article on WP, which violates basic WP guidelines, rules and WP credibility.

Based on 1)-4) the question arises: is this attempting to circumvent WP:N Notability? If so, the article should be deleted. Wikipatrolwatch (talk) 13:59, 8 May 2013 (UTC) Wikipatrolwatch (talk) 21:02, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I do not know internet slang but "meat puppet" sounds like my husband is mad at me :) I met Film Annex and Roya Mahboob through my friends at Global Medical Relief Fund on Staten Island. Maybe supporting the women of Afghanistan is not "Notable" here on Wiki, but it certainly is on Staten Island. I will bow out here after this post but maybe people should look at what is going on in Afghanistan. Positive stories are few and far between in Afghanistan. If that is not "Notable", please explain to Wiki readers what is? WestEndKat (talk) 00:42, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In reference to Erik's comment, my account was started as part of a project for my BUS 256 class in Business Ethics, as part of a section we are doing on the involvement of businesses in non-profit organizations. Unfortunately, I haven't been the most consistent editor, but my comment from this morning was just trying to say that many non-profit organizations start from business investments (which are motivated by the govt's and that not acknowledging that wouldn't clearly explain the history of the projects mentioned in this page. What I can agree with, is that maybe this article does not meet wikipedia's notability and objectivity guidelines in its current form, but my counter to that is that if you consider the history of Ms. Mahboob's projects, you would have to mention this company, either in an article or a sentence integrated into another article, as part of the process that contributed to this charity being formed.

  • merge It is reasonable to bring contested merges here, or merges where a possible alternative might be deletion, but this seems absolutely straightforwartd, and I think you could just have notified, waited a week, and then gone ahead with it. DGG ( talk ) 23:25, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - I think nom is saying that the content has already been merged, so redirecting is the way to go. Ansh666 05:03, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I read that uncontroversial and simple merges are okay without a discussion and so went ahead and did so. Since the 'Capture of USS Argus' article has had its contents copied/pasted to a section in the main article I saw no reason to not have it deleted. Do you really think this simple merge/deletion needs to be discussed in all the various forums user:czar posted to? It's pretty straight forward and uncontroversial in nature, as no content or meaning has been added or deleted. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 05:09, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's not necessary to contact anyone, but it's a nice courtesy to anyone who may have input (especially those who worked on the article, from the article's history). Also when merging, it's good to leave a {{copied}} template on the merged talk page, which links back to the old page's edit history so proper attribution is given for the prose. (If the page was outright deleted, that attribution would disappear.) To answer your q, you'd probably be fine withdrawing the nom and completing the merge/redirect yourself. If anyone objects, they'll revert and bring the objection to the talk page. czar · · 18:40, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll withdraw the nomination. Have added the 'copied' template to the destination page, btw. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 21:56, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy delete per WP:SNOW and WP:NOTINHERITED. There is zero evidence of her being notable, which is not inherited. There is also a high risk this will become an attack page on a private person; the focus of the page is on her giving birth at a young age.

  • Delete. Notability is not inherited from family members per WP:NOTINHERITED, and I don't see in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources per WP:GNG. The current lack of substance in the article speaks volumes. It's an interesting story, and she deserves a sentence or two in her son's bio.

BCG Attorney Search appears to fail WP:CORPDEPTH in that the multiple cited sources do not offer any significant or substantial coverage of the company. Instead, the coverage is trivial, such that BCG is included in a list of similar organizations, or a webpage/article written by BCG is quoted or linked elsewhere. There is no support for the statements about how and when the firm was founded. There is no description of the company's business focus in the cited sources.

  • Delete, subject has received passing mention in multiple non-primary reliable sources, that being said the only significant coverage the subject of this AfD received was regarding the subject's death, written in this book, and the Atlantic Constitution. As such this biography falls under WP:BIO1E, and as the death did not receive continued coverage the event does not appear to be notable per WP:EVENT, and thus WP:NOTMEMORIAL appears to be relevant in this case.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 09:10, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - Looking at the paywalled Atlanta Constitution article that is available in the preview, the headline "ARMY OFFICER IN LAST FIGHT", and the sub-headline "Death Takes Maj. Edward Chynoweth. Operation Fails to Give Him Relief and End Comes After Short Illness" match the second block of the Arlington cemetery page, although the "-Interment in Marietta or in His Native City." from the Constitution doesn't appear in the Arlington page.

Contested PROD: my original concern was that Sorribes Tormo does not pass the tennis notability guidelines. She has not been ranked in the top-200, she is not a top-3 junior player, she has no senior Grand Slam or Fed Cup appearances, and she has only played in the qualifying draw of the 2013 Mutua Madrid Open, i.e. no main draw WTA tour appearances either. In addition to this, Sorribes Tormo has never won a $50,000 ITF tournament or better. If requested, I wouldn't have a problem with the article being userfied and later being moved back into article space at such a time if/when the player in question does become notable.

Television episode with no notability. Binksternet (talk) 18:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Final episode of season four of a TV series that has 73 out of its 84 episodes with their own articles. - RandomEcho (talk) 18:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What if most of those 73 were turned into redirects to List of Community episodes? Most of them are just bare frameworks to present the plot to the reader, so what importance does that have for the encyclopedia? None. A bunch of the episode articles violate WP:TVPLOT by having too much text in the plot section, for instance there is "The Politics of Human Sexuality" which is almost entirely plot, more than 900 words even though TVPLOT allows a maximum of 500. "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" violates TVPLOT with a plot section word count of almost 700, but at least that article has context and healthy sections about production and reception—it would be one of the few that are not redirected to the list of episodes.

In response to concerns about the synopsis length, I have edited it down to 498 words which is in accordance to WP:TVPLOT. That said, issues with other articles are exactly that. Issues with other articles and not issues with this article. Mpen320. Also, as the season finale (I just read the series has been renewed) it is notable, but even by itself it is notable. Every episode of Glee has its own entry.
