== Is [[Everything Changed]] notable? ==

Trying to clean up some [[:Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability from July 2008|articles with topics of unclear notability from July 2008]], I found [[Everything Changed]]. I'm not an expert on the notability rules for albums, but I found these articles discussing it. Would these establish notability?

== Communities of Chesapeake, Virginia ==

Are the [[Chesapeake, Virginia#Communities|communities of Chesapeake, Virginia]] (a county-sized city) notable? They're redlinks, but [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Camelot, Chesapeake, Virginia|this]] AFD would seem to state they aren't. [[User:Emmette Hernandez Coleman|Emmette Hernandez Coleman]] ([[User talk:Emmette Hernandez Coleman|talk]]) 03:47, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
:Some may be, and some not.  There's no universal principle except that people, outside of Wikipedia, have written extensively about a place.  There's no reason why every single community within a city would automatically be notable, but on the other side, there's no reason why ''none'' of them would.  Each should be judged based on the availability of reliable sources which discuss the place in detail.  --[[User:Jayron32|<span style="color:#000099;">Jayron</span>]]'''''[[User talk:Jayron32|<span style="color:#009900;">32</span>]]''''' 03:53, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

== [[Adam Adli]] ==

Hi everyone. I just want to check if this article can pass the notability test. Adam Adli Abd Halim is a Malaysian student activist advocating among others education reforms. He first shot to fame in 2011 after he lowered the flag of Malaysian Prime Minister [[Najib Razak]] which resulted in him being suspended from Uni. He has since got quite a lot of following in the social media and was quite active in the socio-political scene. Last week he was arrested under the sedition act and also investigated under other controversial security laws. During a political forum with other activists and politicians, he was thought to have urged Malaysian citizens to take to the streets to protest against the result of the the [[Malaysian general election, 2013|recent election]] due to alleged fraud. Widely reported by local media and one Indonesian media report:-

Re article: Keith Johnson (author)
This is my first time of using this section of WP so I hope I do not inadvertently trespass. 

I wish to bring to the attention of the WP community a dispute with one of its senior editors 'Reddogsix' over the notability (as used in its technical sense in WP). In essence the senior editor accepts the article - Keith Johnson is a writer, writing school science textbooks, principally about physics  - but feels that the books titles themselves should not be listed as to quote the senior editor on his actions 'Removed fluff, this is not a resume' We seem to be in a position where we have a 'notable' article about an author who writes 'non notable' books.

We have had at least 8 exchanges, all of which can be found on the senior editors archive page, in which I have produce an increasing body of evidence culminating  in references to 44 independent reviews of the books published in the Times Educational Supplement and school science journals.

I am looking for support that the books are 'notable' and the titles should be reintroduction into the article.

Should this not be the appropriate place for this request I apologize and ask that I be directed to the pages where this matter can be resolved.      [[User:Dvdwllm|Dvdwllm]] ([[User talk:Dvdwllm|talk]]) 09:33, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

I believe that a fan of Million Dollar Listing is trying to make individual pages on each of the shows characters.  Instead since the only notability is they've been on the show, the pages for the individuals should be removed.  The information on each with consists of about one small paragraph should then be listed on the shows page under the individuals name.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.84.87.157|50.84.87.157]] ([[User talk:50.84.87.157|talk]]) 10:27, 27 May 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Self-published material in an article. ==

A couple of months ago I posted a couple of message templates looking for an expert on "non-violence" to advise on two citations in an article on [[Pornography_in_the_United_States#Anti-pornography_movement|Pornography in the United States (the Anti-pornography section)]]. I also started two discussion threads [[Talk:Pornography_in_the_United_States#Pornography_and_feminism:_the_case_against_censorship._Possibly_a_self-published_opinion_piece.3F|here]] and [[Talk:Pornography_in_the_United_States#Porn_Up.2C_Rape_Down_-_very_short_opinion_paper.|here.]]

Thinking about it since, the matter is probably more of a notability issue concerning:
* A (possibly out-of-print) book written by pressure group [http://www.fiawol.demon.co.uk/FAC/index.htm Feminists Against Censorship (FAC)] and published by [http://www.lwbooks.co.uk/about.html Lawrence & Wishart], who describe themselves as "independent and radical", in 1991. {{cite book | last = Rodgerson | first = Gillian | title = Pornography and feminism : the case against censorship | publisher = Lawrence & Wishart | location = London | year = 1991 | isbn = 9780853157427 }}
* and [http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=913013 a short self-published opinion paper.]

:So are you saying the sources such as [[Pitchfork Media]], [[East Bay Express]], [[Stereogum]], [[Spin (magazine)|Spin]], and [[SF Weekly]] are not independent of the subject just because they wrote the reviews for then-upcoming- or then-just-released albums?  I think they are clearly both reliable and independent of the subject. [[Special:Contributions/114.145.84.54|114.145.84.54]] ([[User talk:114.145.84.54|talk]]) 00:52, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
::Read [[Wikipedia:Independent sources]] closely.  In the modern web, many sources that Wikipedia considers reliable and independent of the subject border on being [[Wikipedia:Independent sources#indiscriminate]].  My local newspaper, for example, is pretty indiscriminate when it comes to movie reviews - it gives at least a capsule review to every film that is in a major theater, including limited-run and art-house theater runs.  If it had the same standards for full-fledged reviews - and its online version might, I haven't checked - then its lack of discrimination would make it unsuitable for determining if a film is notable.  Most local news outlets are also less discriminating with events or subjects of local interest than it is of similar events and subjects that are not of local interest.  This is why I would strongly suspect a "local bias" in the decision of what to cover and not cover in the East Bay Express and SF Weekly.  The degree of this "local bias" is important - if it's very low, then using this news outlet for a local story is just as valid as using it for a non-local story.  If it is high, which is typically the case for local media outlets, then a different source should be used to determine notability.

== Old Bourbon ==

I split the [[Old Bourbon]] article off from [[Bourbon County, Kentucky]]. First some background information, Bourbon County used to be vastly larger, and part of Virgina. The region comprising the former Bourbon County was later named "Old Bourbon". It has thirty-four modern counties. The reason I split the Bourbon County article was that it was trying to be both about present day Bourbon County, and the old vastly larger area.

I had assumed that Old Bourbon was notable, but I did a quick Google search for Old Bourbon and I'm starting to think it might not be. If it isn't there's an easy solution here, rename the article "Bourbon County, Virginia"; even if the region isn't notable the county almost certainly is. There are a few possibilities I thought of:
*My suspicions are simply wrong, and it the region is notable.
*The region is not talked about much today, but it was notable in it's day (which was well before the Internet), so it's notable per [[WP:NOTTEMPORARY]].
*The region simply isn't notable
*The region isn't notable in and of itself, but the (old vastly larger) county is, so would it be spiting hairs to distinguish between the region and the (old) county when it comes to notability?

Suspect this is a run-of-the-mill professor who is really notable for only one event. I would be very wary in using obits and articles related to his death or the scandal for extablishing his notability as a scholar, because of the usual post-mortem puffery.

== Aaron Stark ==

Recently an article featuring a former pro MMA fighter was deleted ([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Stark]]) as per the essay [[WP:MMANOT]]. As you can see from the AfD debate, every editor who voted for ‘delete’ did so entirely or in part because it was not thought to meet the supplemental guidance given in [[WP:MMANOT]]. There was however, a lingering question as to whether or not this subject met the standards of [[WP:BIO]] and [[WP:GNG]] more generally. Thus, I bring the question here.

The subject does seem to meet the presumptive standard of [[WP:BASIC]], in that he’s been the subject of multiple published non-trivial secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

Admittedly, not all the sources are perfect. In addition to his somewhat perfunctory fighter profile {{Sherdog|id=14710|name=Aaron Stark}}, the subject features in a near endless smattering of online MMA articles, which aside from sheer volume are potentially of questionable merit. A few such examples are [http://www.knucklepit.com/mixed-martial-arts-aaron_stark.htm this], [http://www.mmaweekly.com/aaron-stark-used-rampage-ufc-135-camp-to-gauge-readiness-for-miranda-at-sportfight this], and [http://www.mmaweekly.com/aaron-stark-takes-aim-with-4-fight-win-streak-2 this].

More notably, he was featured in a [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/nicki_jhabvala/05/06/aaron.stark/ Sports Illustrated article] and has featured in at least two newspaper articles which could still be located:

*Boyle, John, “Pro fight league is a hit -- and it's coming here”, Daily Herald (Everett, WA), June 1, 2007

*White, Ryan, “Comedy or tragedy?”, The Oregonian (Portland, OR), June 23, 2008

So what do you think? Am I completely off the mark here? In the spirit of full disclosure, this subject is the first (and only) local MMA fighter I can remember coming across while flipping through channels on broadcast television. Other then recognizing him from that however, I have no personal connection to him. [[User:Buddy23Lee|Buddy23Lee]] ([[User talk:Buddy23Lee|talk]]) 19:30, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

So far I have only found one review [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/coffee-town-film-review-583921] that I think qualifies as a reliable source, so I am not sure if this passes the [[WP:NF]] threshold.

There are other issues with this article, not the least of which that the creator has a major [[WP:COI]].  Would like some advice on whether this should be a candidate for AfD or even [[WP:SPEEDY]].  Thanks. --[[User:Drm310|Drm310]] ([[User talk:Drm310|talk]]) 15:19, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

There is a dicussion at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Achinger coat of arms]] about whether some 200 stub articles on individual coats of arms should be deleted.  The first article nominated for deletion has pictures of the coats of arms and a brief description of some of the people who have held them sourced to a book of noble families, none of whom appear to be notable.  There is no information about when, why or to whom the arms were awarded, or any explanation of the heraldry.  The other articles appear to be similar.

Subject was a former cast member of the Syfy series "Ghost Hunters". Since leaving the series, he has only been notable for writing a suicide note on his Facebook page (which made some news for about a week) and being subsequently found and accused of faking the whole thing, and allegations of fraud against his fans. As his notability is merely as a former second tier cast member of a marginally popular basic cable series, I think the article doesn't meet the notability requirements and should be merged with the "Ghost Hunters" article where applicable.

Not sure if this is relevant, but the History seems to reveal that the subject himself has edited the page (COI and Original Research issues). [[Special:Contributions/12.46.106.81|12.46.106.81]] ([[User talk:12.46.106.81|talk]]) 20:03, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

== is french painter Michel Bertrand notable enough that I can translate his article ==

Hi, someone at the reference desk requested a translation of the French Wikipedia article on French painter Michel Bertrand. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#Michel_Bertrand] I would like to make sure that such a translation would survive – I don’t want to go to all the trouble if someone is just going to delete it. The two issues raised by commenters were reliability (I will ask that at the other notice board) and notability – which is why I’m here. Can you help me understand if this artist is notable enough to make it worth translating his article? According to the French article, He taught in the School of Fine Arts in Perpignan, had writeups in L'Indépendant in 1976 and 1988, has a biography written about him, has six works in the collection of the [[Musée National d'Art Moderne]]. His works are also in the collections of Musée Paul Valéry Sète, Musée Art Moderne Céret, Centre Art Contemporain Beaulieu Rouergue, and the Musée d’Art Moderne Saint-Etienne. Thanks.

:I would say so, with the presumption you have all the necessary citations to support those claims. As a creative professional, his work is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. Even as a fine arts academic he likely meets the standard, as he appears notable in his art. I've done editing on articles for academic professionals who were deemed notable for less.

[[Asiocentrism]] how notable is this to have a wikipedia page? The creator has gone about putting links to it in [[Eurocentrism]] and [[Afrocentrism]]. But there is no serious google weight for this topic. There are no books on Amazon on it. Maybe it should only be a stub. But Let me post it here to get proper feedback.

:It seems pretty plausible that if Eurocentrism and Afrocentrism are deemed notable, the region containing the world's largest population might also be subject to it's own "centrism". I agree though, a g-search for the term comes back with a pittance of results. The synonymous "Asiocentric" fairs a bit better; Google books returns quite a few uses of the term, and Jstor has at least one passing mention [http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/2784027?uid=3739864&uid=2129&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&uid=3739256&sid=21102521243541 here].

::Exactly, Buddy23Lee.   This is what Inayity doesn't seem to get.  Even though not much results come in, it's not exactly zero.    And the thing does exist.  And as you said "AsiocentriC" (with a "c" at the end) does yield more results, and it's a synonymous term as you say.  But even he admitted that the overall thing is "barely notable".  Meaning that it's ''still'' notable.  

::This thing does exist, and there are some sources. There was no article on this topic, so I created one. So? WP was lacking an article on this, the concept does definitely exist, (you even know what some in China or Japan or India actually have believed and said and thought on this stuff? Many have a centrist view of Asia...) 

::But it's not really something in actuality I was all that concerned with.  I was NOT "POV-pushing" in slapping that article together, in my free time.   He imputed bad motives on me, which is against WP policy.  But again, I was not "POV pushing". I don't really care THAT much about this stuff; this topic is not a major concern of mine really. I just made the page.  There are not copious sources for it true, but there are some. It's not zero. But I wasn't necessarily trying to "push" anything. It actually was NOT something I had so big an interest in. Anyway, I'd be curious what other editors (if any even care about this) might say. If they agree with Inayity though, that doesn't technically make them right, but could have similar hang-ups too. But I do respect consensus. But for now, I'm not really bothering anymore with this.

== Dubai World Central projects ==

So [[Dubai World Central]] and its related pages seem to have no indication of notability from my searches on Google News. Almost all of the subpages have only one reference, which is a non-RS page by the construction company itself. Nearly all of them (perhaps all of them) were created by the same editor, and few if any non-gnome edits have been made on any of them. I have put [[WP:CSD]] notices (for notability) on a few of them, and some were deleted while some others were not.

I would appreciate additional eyes on this.

As something of an aside, I also note that there is some link to the "skyscrapercity.com" website (such as on the now-deleted pages). I had some previous interaction with a different editor based on another article for a large construction project, whose only references were also from the construction company (a different one) and with some connection to this website.

Recently created article as [[Mandana Dayani]] seems to be of questionable notability. Speedy was declined due the original contributor protesting, both myself and the admin concerned are dubious. There is a light smattering of content from reliable sources which I've cleaned up, but I do wonder if the article has been created for promotional reasons rather than any real notability.

:The sources in the article don't really establish notability.  The Glamour article is a short piece which doesn't actually cover her in any significant way beyond Dayani answering the same fluff questions asked of the other fashion people in the article, and that's the best source present.  The NY Times is a wedding announcement.  A campus newspaper is not usable for notability.  IMDB is not a reliable source, and Bravo is a primary source.  Light coverage exists.  I'd venture to say she has a certain degree of fame, but as our [[WP:N|notability guidelines]] indicate, fame is not the same as notability.

== Howard County, Maryland - County Level Politicians Notable? ==

While editing the Howard County, Maryland page I notice that several WP:BLP on County Level Politicians had been created. Based on WP:Politician I notified the creator that I felt these subjects failed notability as they have never held Statewide Office. I also notified a substantial contributor to one of the articles of my concerns. I did not receive feedback from the creator, but I received a note on my talk page from the substantial contributor agreeing. Since I thought the deletion would not be controversial I proceeded to propose deletion. The original creator then posted to my talk page citing significant coverage in local newspapers such as The Washington Post and Baltimore Sun, which I expect to cover the County and removed the WP:PROD tags. 
I am posting here for guidance because this involves several articles. Please note that Howard County, Maryland has no incorporated cities so a County Level Office is the "lowest" (for lack of a better term) office for which one can be elected. I also visited several other county sites throughout the country and only see a few WP:BLP on County Level Politicians, but a number of those have subsequently served higher office. Several separate articles on Howard County Government Departments (Zoning, Public School System, etc.) have also been created. Notable? Thoughts?

:Most of the ones you proposed for deletion are borderline at best. They do fail the first criterion at [[WP:POLITICIAN]], but ''might'' meet the second (I doubt they meet the third, as the press coverage is all local and trivial). I'd recommend taking the worst few to [[WP:AfD|AfD]], and, if they result in deletions, do the same with the rest.

:It's always troubling when any article has to rely too heavily on one source for notability. Basic policies, such as [[WP:BASIC]], generally recommend multiple sources. So, presumably, you'd be able to substantiate an articles notability with sources beyond Tubefilter. I'm not personally familiar with Tubefilter, but at first glace it looks like video blog site and is probably not a particularly good source. I think you're probably on the right track with [[WP:SPIP]]. Nonetheless, this noticeboard exists primarily to discuss the notability of individual articles, not the validity of sources. You'd probably get a much better response for that at [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard]]. [[User:Buddy23Lee|Buddy23Lee]] ([[User talk:Buddy23Lee|talk]]) 17:43, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

== David Mahmoudieh ==

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Mahmoudieh&action=edit&redlink=1

I think this page should be undeleted. Seems to be some strange, vendetta-esque, activity going on here with this page. It's been on Wikipedia for a number of years, the information growing and being verified and approved all the while, then suddenly gets deleted. The subject matter and the information provided therein dove-tails into a number of pre-existing pages on this subject, who is a recognised filmmaker in both the British and Iranian film communities, and an award winning music video and commercials director. Seems very strange that the page should suddenly be deleted.

The deleter noted there was not enough proof of notoriety. However, on the first page alone of a Google search under the subject's name, the following links appear providing credibility and notoriety:

* http://on.mtv.com/10hWlwQ (listed as Director on MTV website for work currently airing on network)
* http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2550041/bio (confirms awards and history in movie industry)
* http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2550041/ (significant directing, producing credits including Coldplay, Outer Limits, Wolf Lake)
* http://www.raindance.co.uk/site/index.php?id=417,4719,0,0,1,0 (listed as a panel member and notable expert on music videos at a major international film festival)
* http://camera2cameraexpo.com/speakers (listed as a keynote speaker at an industry event)
* http://www.riotmaker.tv/directors2.php (listed as a represented director at a major director's agency)
* http://nisimasa.com/files/esp2012bookprojects.pdf (listed and profiled in an established, notable filmmaking programme for the top future talent in European cinema) 

I would like petition for the re-listing of this page with the above references added.

:I see no evidence of "vendetta-esque, activity"; please [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]].

I am unable to view the contents of the deleted page, but if it didn't meet CSD#A7, there's little hope of meeting the notability guidelines ([[WP:GNG]] & [[WP:FILMMAKER]]).

== Darren Bartlett ==

The [[Darren Bartlett]] article is an autobiography written primarily by a [[WP:SPA]] who has been trying valiantly to add sources to the article. However, the sources are mostly trivial mentions, album credits, youtube videos, coverage of the subject's work and not the subject himself. The article has survived for quite a while.

I have been reverting the author's attempts to add "buy it here" links to books and such, and he persistently adds them back. He does not seem to understand the concept of a "talk page" in spite of messages to his own.

How many trivial mentions are equivalent to [[WP:SIGCOV]]? Or should this article just go to AFD for further discussion? ~[[User:Amatulic|Amatulić]] <small>([[User talk:Amatulic#top|talk]])</small> 20:10, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Enloe is a retired professor at Clark University.

::Right, I think you're barking up the wrong tree with your cries that all Wikipedia articles need "mainstream" sources. I just don't see your severe limitation on "trade publications" in my interpretation of the [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)]] guideline. The term ''trade publication'' isn't used in that guideline. What it does limit is "routine notices", "brief announcements", "simple statements", "passing mention", etc. If a "trade publication" writes an in-depth article, that should be a sufficient independent secondary source.  For example, do we want to limit our medical sources to sources like ''The New York Times'' and television news reports, dismissing medical journals as "trade publications"? I think not. Especially in a world where so many traditional sources' business models have collapsed (e.g., ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' is the only major news magazine left standing).

::So let's stop beating around the bush about the real issue here.  I suspect that you and other editors are upset that this article has just become the only blue link in [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2013 August 5]]. There are no easy answers here.

Could there be some more opinions on the issue of Speedy Deletion of [[Pearce Robinson]]. I don't think the article should be removed and we have satisfied the good articles criteria. Having said that if futher improvements have to be made, we have no problem with that. But the sudden speedy deletion after having satisfied the requirements is unfair and does not give us any time to rectify the situation. Also the notice claims that the article is identical to the previous one that was deleted. That is not correct.

:As I explained to the editor, I see no evidence that the subject of this article meets [[WP:GNG]], and this was the reason for deletion last time the article was created: [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pearce Robinson]]. In deference to the editor's insistence that he can meet [[WP:GNG]] I've withdrawn the speedy nomination for now to allow him time to demonstrate that - although it seems unlikely to me, given the current content. I've tried to explain that although a lot of effort seems to have gone into the "article", and the writing seems acceptable, without notability that will not help it to be kept. Just posting this as additional info. <span style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;color:#000;">[[User:Begoon|<span style="color:#0645AD;">Begoon</span>]]&thinsp;[[User talk:Begoon|<span style="color:gray;"><sup>talk</sup></span>]]</span> 19:50, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
::I left my opinion on the article's talk page, just generally opining that a full AfD might be better than a speedy delete in this case. I agree with you that it might well not meet notability, but 34 sources does make at least a case to consider more formally.

== [[Delhi state assembly elections, 2013]] ==

Hi Team,

I am trying to include the list of declared candidates per constituency by different parties. As & when parties declare candidate, I will add them in it. I do not intend to create biographies of all the
candidates. Can I include their name in the 'Candidate List' in such a way that if you click on any candidates name who is not famous, you will be directed to [[Delhi state assembly elections, 2013]]? Moreover
will it violate [[WP:POLITICIAN]] even if I do not intend to create a standalone article for that specific candidate?--[[User:Rushikesh.tilak|ratastro]] ([[User talk:Rushikesh.tilak|talk]]) 11:48, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
:I would leave candidates' names unlinked unless (a) you think they are likely to be notable or (b) the candidate is non-notable but discussed in another article (more than just a name in a list). This appears to be common practice. To avoid overlinking, you should avoid having multiple links to the same target from the same page, which is likely to happen if you have a lot of non-notable candidates' names all linked to the general page; and you should avoid redirecting a topic to another page (or creating a piped link) unless the target actually discusses the subject. See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking]]. --[[User:Colapeninsula|Colapeninsula]] ([[User talk:Colapeninsula|talk]]) 13:59, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

== Southampton County, Virginia cities ==

I added some red-links for cities to {{tl|Southampton County, Virginia}}. They showed up on the map at [[Southampton County, Virginia#Geography]], so I presume their notable (especially because of [[Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard/Archive_14#Towns_in_the_US_state_of_Virginia|this]]), but I thought I'd get a second opinion. I release the map is extremely out of date, but notability is not temporary, so that shouldn't be much of a problem. If some of these redlinks turn out to be former names of cities we have already articles for (whoever investigates the red-link to create the article would quickly discover it), they can be redirected and then removed from the template as duplicate entries.

:Strictly speaking, any city is notable, even if it has ceased to exist, per [[WP:NTEMP]] (which based on more recent maps has happened some of these places). However, some people may think there's not much point in including them in a template if they're neither still-existing nor the subject of articles (though you could add a line for former cities, I suppose). This isn't really a notability issue, it's an issue about what should be on the template. --[[User:Colapeninsula|Colapeninsula]] ([[User talk:Colapeninsula|talk]]) 14:08, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
