The administration of OC Public Libraries (Orange County Public Library) has requested that this article be deleted as soon as possible. The article was originally created by a committee that no longer plans to maintain the page and there are no plans to continue updating the site by any other OCPL staff memebers. The same information in the Wikipedia article can be found on the library's website: www.ocpl.org, and, therefore, OCPL administration feels that the outdated information on the Wikipedia article is a disservice to the community. If you require an official confirmation of the request for deletion, please contact Renee Welling, OC Public Libraries Marketing and eGov Manager at renee.welling@occr.ocgov.com . Thank you.

  • Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2013 October 24. —cyberbot I NotifyOnline 23:13, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: So far the article looks a lot like spam and I'm surprised that it survived this long. For any curious, the sole source at the bottom of the article, the book about the OCPL, is a primary source according to this. I'll see if I can find anything else, but offhand I'm not seeing much out there. A lot of the awards are for specific people or are awards that would be too minor as far as Wikipedia goes to really give notability, either partial or completely.

  • Redirect to Orange_County,_California#Arts_and_culture. If we ignore the blatant promotion that seems to have been going on here, the end result is that we really don't have that much coverage for this library system. Most of what I found was either trivial or local coverage. Most of the best coverage was by the LA Times, which is local but also primarily trivial "this branch opened, this person is going to come here, etc" sort of coverage that falls under local interest sort of things. Nothing that is really in-depth. When it comes to book sources I found a lot of passing mentions such as this one and this one, but these are more in passing. I do want to note that I got some false positives, as it seems that there are several other states that have library systems by this name. Ultimately I can't find enough coverage to really warrant this library system having an article. I'm impressed by the system, but ultimately this just isn't a notable enough PL system to really warrant an article. If we do redirect and merge, given that there are at least 3-4 different library systems by this name, it might be a good idea to create state specific names such as Orange County Public Library (California) or Orange County Public Library (Florida). I might try to tag this as a speedy because of the lack of notability and the blatant spam that is on the page. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:22, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BLP on an Indian actor. I found coverage in two RSes, but they both cover the same event: casting in an Indian television show. Seems a bit WP:TOOSOON for this WP:ONEEVENT to make the individual notable. Add the promotional-sounding username of the new editor who created, and it's starting to quack.

No significant coverage demonstrating notability or even veracity. The only coverage is brief mentions in local travel guides, which is not enough to verify that this is widely recognized concept, nor is the content here significant enough to warrant a standalone article (topic already sufficiently covered in Seattle#Geography). Ibadibam (talk) 19:55, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. I find somewhat more sources for this, I think. Recent material is mostly travel guides, to be certain (although some of them pay this fairly substantive coverage). But it seems to have been a bigger deal in the first half of the 20th century, with quite a few periodical references, in everything from Christian Science Monitor to Weatherwise to the American Bar Association Journal. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The nominator confuses verifiability with notability (if it's mentioned in local travel guides, then it's verified), does not explain why travel guide references are insufficient to establish notability for such a geographic feature, and says there's not enough content for a standalone article but has not proposed a merge target. postdlf (talk) 21:17, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks, I've added a section link to the main article above. As for verifiability, WP:V is pretty clear that a reliable source must back the content. If the sources for the article under discussion are not reliable, then the article is not verifiable. I contend that travel guides may not qualify as reliable sources for this subject. This is not a geographic feature; it's a romantic interpretation of the city's ambiguous topography, and as such requires reliable sources on the city's history and culture to demonstrate that this interpretation is commonly held. For all we know, the "Seven Hills" idea was coined by a travel writer to begin with, and has been perpetuated by subsequent guidebooks. Hopefully, sources will emerge from this discussion that prove me wrong. Ibadibam (talk) 21:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • "I contend that travel guides may not qualify as reliable sources for this subject." Why? Even if it was coined by a travel writer originally, so what? And if it was then "perpetuated" by other writers in guidebooks, then that's not only verification that it's a thing (regardless of whether the "seven hills" are objectively real), but also good evidence that the concept passes WP:GNG. What I find especially compelling (looking just within the current article content) is the fact that a Seattle park has been named after it, which means that it has "perpetuated" into a public institution by an official act of government.[1] postdlf (talk) 21:43, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep I added a few refs to the article since creating it in 2005 as one of my first acts on Wikipedia. There's at least two Historylink articles and two-three Seattle Times articles using this term. Not quite rising to reliable sources, it's a well known local aphorism with (at least) a park[2], shoe store[3], apartment building[4], restaurant[5], bike ride[6], and foot walk[7] named "seven hills". — Brianhe (talk) 23:59, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yah I don't prune my watchlist very much. I wouldn't mind seeing a List of hills in Seattle akin to List of hills in San Francisco where we could hang the other various hills and cover the "seven hills" phenomenon as a subtopic. From a uniqueness/historical significance perspective I think Seattle's hills are interesting in that one of them only exists in memory, having been washed away in an early 20th century civil engineering project. But don't know if that alone justifies a standalone article. — Brianhe (talk) 00:41, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There do not exist ministry of surface transport now. It is ministry of Road Transport and Highways (India) and a page for the same exist in Wiki Eliaskurian (talk) 18:32, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't a reason for deletion, as articles about entities that no longer exist still belong in an encyclopedia. A redirect would also be inappropriate, as the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is one of the two ministries that replaced it; the other is the Ministry of Shipping (reference: International Association of Ports and Harbors).

  • Redirect to Interaction Design - I agree with this, and also that the article is more of a definition and therefore maybe should have its own article in Wiktionary. So I would be willing to incorporate it into that article if that is the resolution here. Actually, after a little more investigation, it might be more appropriate to incorporate it into the human error article. Spalding (talk) 12:16, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Expand to have enough encyclopaedic content to stand alone - A little more investigation shows that similar items like poka-yoke have encyclopaedic articles, so I would be willing to start off on an improvement to bring it up to the standard required. This would help WP:Build the web. Spalding (talk) 12:43, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Keep Certainly notable as a concept - for example aircraft controls are often designed with this in mind, eg in handles having a different shape, requiring to be moved in a different way from each other, etc. Not a sub-category of Interaction design, which seems to be used only for virtual objects, though the reverse might possibly be the case. I am not qualified to suggest what other term it might be covered under already in WP, or what sources are appropriate, but safety-critical things such as this have a specialist literature. Psychologists may be familiar with this in another guise. --AJHingston (talk) 17:46, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Finding sources is crucial for making a keep/delete decision. If no sources turn up before the AfD closes, the article can be deleted without prejudice and created again once sources are found. ~KvnG 21:16, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The phenomenon is well known, important, will have been studied and this is a reasonable search term. It may well already be covered in Wikipedia under another heading, and if not ought to be. The term should redirect there, or even vice versa. Our failure to identify that or appropriate sources is a measure of our ignorance. --AJHingston (talk) 08:48, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The original complaint was about original research, which I assure you it is not, so I will add references. The concept comes mostly from the work of Donald Norman as far as I can tell, so I will integrate a good paper by him, a noted scholar in the field. As of now I have made a first pass, but I am not very proficient in adding references, so I added that paper as an external link. In my opinion, the article is now sufficient to have the proposed deletion withdrawn. Spalding (talk) 00:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Multiple sources are required to establish notability. If someone can come up with one more reference, we'll be set. ~KvnG 15:39, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The problem here does not seem to be with the subject matter but whether description error is the right name. It may well be that it is more commonly written about under some other term and if so that is something that can be dealt with under normal editing in due course, but nobody so far has come up with one. It seems to me that the evidence that the phenomenon has been understood for many years and of the measures taken to address it (eg shape/texture/colour/etc coding of controls) are ample evidence of notability. Note that other references point to application outside the field of aircraft, eg mining, so it is not specific to them. Similarly, other ways of addressing the problem can be followed beside coding of controls. It is the concept that should be addressed in this article. --AJHingston (talk) 18:00, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think we now have multiple sources. I have called out the selection error synonym in the lead (a redirect was already in place) and added these two articles to the EL section. ~KvnG 20:25, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The topic looks notable. Two books are mentioned, but not formally referenced, in the article as discussing description error. Description error is understood to be a potentially serious problem in medicine, and is described in the papers [8] and [9]. The concept is also used in cognitive psychology [10]. The Human Error book and the three papers mentioned are all secondary sources; the two medical papers are peer reviewed from good journals. The topic seems to pass notability threshold per WP:GNG. The article could use some reference and citations to those references. The article could also use some links to other cognitive error concepts, like mode error. The prose is otherwise well written, so there are no insurmountable problems, per WP:SURMOUNTABLE. A notable topic and surmountable article problems suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 20:21, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus default to keep. We need to do more research before bringing articles like this to AFD. Glovex104 has provided two very good sources. One of which shows that he is/was the CEO of Israel's largest advertising firm McCann Erickson-Kesher-Barel, and there are definitely more such as this one from the Haaretz that show the same.

  • Delete. I don't see anything that satisfies the sourcing and notability requirements of WP:BIO. While a successful businessman, there's just not independent coverage of his work, and his position as chairman of a regional subsidiary of a multinational company doesn't convey a presumption of notability. The Bloomberg investors page is not significant coverage, and the rest of the sources are generally about the businesses he is associated with and not the man himself; notability is not inherited. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:41, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Saying he his just 'chairman of a regional subsidiary of a multinational company' seems culturally biased. Plus, how is he any different from many other articles in his category that weren't deleted (Israeli_businesspeople)? Some examples are - Uzi-Eli Hezi, Gad Zeevi, Eli Elezra (is being a poker player notable while being a businessman isn't just because you're successful in the US and not in another country?), G. Yafit? Yaron Golan? Where is the uniform standard if this article is deleted but many others are not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MyValues (talkcontribs) 23:34, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete—Per Squeamish Ossifrage, coverage on the individual only appears in context of his businesses. Doesn't appear to have enough standalone notability to support passing the GNG for an article. LivitEh?/What? 19:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I disagree. There's hardly any reviews and look at where the few are, they are in pseudoscience and fringe parapsychology journals that are not even accessible online. Journal of paraspsychology is not a reliable reference, and it was written by Michael Grosso a well known paranormal believer. There are no reliable references for Hansen's book and it has not been reviewed in the Skeptical Inquirer. You also say "the book itself takes a critical view towards its own field" (no evidence for this) and you link to an anti-skeptic website owned by Rupert Sheldrake and other woo-believers which claims stuff like psychokinesis and reincarnation has been proven.

The result was delete. No notability has been established except in articles about him being the grandson of JFK, and page view stats/"what links here" are not policy backed arguments for keeping an article. Furthermore, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and cannot predict that his political career will actually be notable, or that his stated intentions of doing so will actually come to fruition. Therefore, at this time there is still not enough direct notability established to warrant an individual article on Schlossberg. Coffee // have a cup // essay // 13:25, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The only surviving male descendant of John F Kennedy, who has announced intention to pursue a career in politics, is a public and notable individual. Information in the article is often sought ought, page view stats shows some days have nearly 2500 views. A significant number of What links here. Deleting would do more harm than good.

  • "The only surviving male descendant of John F Kennedy" - no notability reason, "announced intention to pursue a career in politics" - no actual office held, "public and notable individual" - assertion, "often sought ought" - like Malia Obama, "What links here" - links come from a template about the Kennedy family; in all, the coverage given is not about Schlossberg but how he fits in with his family. We have the article Kennedy family for that. Hekerui (talk) 08:41, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • His name is not in the titles of these articles, but JFK is - this is why he's covered at all. Aside from family, what notable things has Schlossberg done since 2011? I don't see it. Hekerui (talk) 19:05, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. The fact that Schlossberg is the only surviving male descendant of John F Kennedy, and has announced his intention to pursue a career in politics, does not indicate notability. I could look into my crystal ball and say it means he will be notable, but that doesn't count. However, articles in major newspapers are another matter. Those articles might exist only because he's the descendant of JFK, but the reason doesn't matter; the papers apparently felt he was notable.--Larry (talk) 01:04, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Noability is not inherited, and despite what some of the Kennedys think, America is not a monarchy, and we do not have people who inherit political positions.

INHERIT is meant to prevent us Wikipedians from arguing a person is notable because they are related to someone famous. It's an essay in the Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. It's about arguments to avoid eg. "I, Green Cardamom, believe this person is notable because he is a Kennedy". INHERIT is not meant to trump WP:GNG or to second guess or judge the press. Do you see the difference? INHERIT does not apply to the NY Post. The NY Post is not arguing in this AfD. The purpose of WP:GNG is to show evidence of coverage regardless of what that coverage is about, we don't bias against sources because, for example, we think someone shouldn't be treated like a monarch. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:32, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The subject is a college student who has been in the public eye only to a limited extent. As a Kennedy descendant, he may well wind up getting a lot more publicity in his lifetime and thus achieve a greater claim to notability later. But so far, he hasn't really done that yet. If this person truly becomes notable, we will likely be able to find a lot more reliable sources covering him than there are now. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:44, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - this was previously nominated for deletion in December 2012 under a slightly different title (I've added the AFD above). There was a laundry list of non-policy (almost non-content) keep !votes and an almost-supervote close based on the number of hits the article was getting at the time (actually an argument in favour of a WP:NOTNEWS view). I share the nominator's view - are you kidding me? This failed NOTNEWS then and it fails that same standard now. With the benefit of 9 months hindsight we can see WP:EFFECT was really never in play. Without being too dispassionate about it, hopefully that 9 months will also allow editors to contribute to this discussion with policy-based arguments rather than emotive nonsense. Stalwart111 05:01, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Bodycount not high enough? Sickening. This is a notable event in the history of mass shootings in the United States. Particularly for what didn't happen (there were only three dead) and for the method in which it was stopped - an armed citizen. Also, The President of the United States has cited this incident in a broader narrative with respect to gun control in the United States and people conducting presidential research or research into this period might want to get more detail on what a president was talking about. The article documents what happened. A cursory search on Google currently reveals 96,000 articles that reference the event. There is also the question of balance on the wiki - if every mass shooting that is stopped by an armed defender is deemed not notable then we are left with only the scenarios where a mass shooter actually carries out his acts in an unhindered fashion - presenting a skewed view of reality. Aurora is notable but this is not? Why? because the folks at NBC decide to keep talking about Aurora but not Clackamas because it doesn't fit their narrative? Because the Aurora shooter got to the magic bodycount level? We should keep these and we should elevate the heros to their proper place rather than the perpetrators of these horrific acts. This deletion request appears to be politically driven. The mass media might determine which events they want to keep in the spotlight but they should not determine the documentation of history. Politically motivated editors should not delete articles with impunity either. Historically, mass shootings occur and they are fairly rare events but when those events occur, they are notable in history of the US. If we delete this work from the Wiki, then 20 years from now when someone is researching what happened, they won't be able to find anything on the Wiki? effectively erased from history? Seems wrong. But you guys do what you want - you're going to anyway. -Justanonymous (talk) 12:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - sadly, in the modern U.S., this does not rise to the level of notability.

WP:EVENT trumps WP:GNG. If we used the GNG for everything, we'd have an articles on all kinds of stupid things that were in the news once.

Beerest355 Talk 18:17, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The president of the US doesn't just reference all kinds of stupid things, to use your vernacular. For better or worst this was part of a broader discourse in 2013 about gun control. It was highly cited by politicians and is part of presidential and congressional record. It's a notable event and meets WP:EVENT and WP:GNG. It's in the same group as the Sikh temple shooting, aurora, and Newtown. It's notable because it happened at a time when the national discourse was laser focused on things like this. It's also a decent article.-Justanonymous (talk) 13:48, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I think this shows continued coverage and a long-term effect, but who knows, as apparently I'm the only one who looked for sources per WP:BEFORE, which despite me continuing telling people it is required for notability deletions, the nominators just keep ignoring it. Plus, there was the other lady who had some sort of extreme PTSD and died months later, which I do not see covered in the article. Of course, even EVENT says this would be notable: "Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below)." It does not have to have all of the elements, they are simply a list of items that may cause an event to be notable. Much like in BIO, you do not have to meet POLITICIAN and ARTIST, just one or the other. Aboutmovies (talk) 18:26, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Aboutmovies, and he said it better than I can. Never mind that President Obama mentioned the incident in a speech to ban weapons, per Justanonymous. Based on WP:OUTCOMES, we have deleted some and kept some. I think this event lies on the 'keep' side. Bearian (talk) 18:10, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This article appears to be about an ordinary working actor who plays small roles but is otherwise undistinguished. Indeed, the article is virtually nothing more than his filmography list repeated in prose. As it stands, this is a promotional resume, and judging by the one single-purpose account most responsible for it, possibly a self-promotional resume. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:09, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't Delete - Just wanted to respond and say I'm a bit disheartened the article is being cited for deletion and being questioned for notability. As a first time contributor (though I was hoping not my last as I have a few things I'd like to contribute to in the future but I feel a bit dismayed by this happening and the reaction it is has gotten) I read a lot and researched a lot on the article and on how to make sure I was writing in a way that was neutral and not resume like though I seem to have not succeeded on this point. I'm not the person in question not do I represent him but as a first time contributor it can been seen as suspicious to more experienced contributors and editors. I'd appreciate any feedback or pointers on how best to go about fleshing out so called "stub" articles (as this one was / is) as I thought it would be nice to work on something that didn't have a lot of editors or edits so far. Obviously my tone is a bit off as it's raised flags, would it be better if it was shorter? As for the notability, I think it's quite subjective to say he isn't notable enough to have a page dedicated to him as it was set up by someone else (not me) who obviously had heard of him and thought he was also notable, plus a lot of the films and television shows he has worked on, in some significant if not starring roles, have their own individual pages on Wikipedia. There is a lot of secondary sources online as well (not all independent, I see using personal IMDB sites is a no-no which I didn't realize but appreciate the edit on this) that I linked to so nothing I have said is untrue. He is also known not just for films, TV and theatre but within the gaming sector also for voice work which is quite significant and notable, though maybe gamers don't use wikipedia! I think it's slightly ironic that the largest film he's been in, X-Men: First Class, is his most notable role, for the size of the audience, yet he is being edited out of the cast list on that particular page, which I think is harsh considering you are saying he isn't notable enough yet he is in a very notable film. I'm quite confused so any guidance so I can avoid the article being deleted would be great. It wasn't my intention to make it promotional or resume-like. I'm here to learn and contribute and to be a part of a community not to "link spam" as has been said. Thanks for reading (----)— Preceding unsigned comment added by KNLRJG (talkcontribs)
    • FYI To the editor above: You sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~), not dashes (----). Second, your last sentence was "Thanks for reading." Most people won't. Most will say "WP:TLDR". Can you repeat the salient points from above in a concise manner? From what I see, your argument boils down to WP:ILIKEIT. Please read the two links in the nomination before replying. Like many new editors, it appears you have misunderstood notabiliy. Gtwfan52 (talk) 17:10, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks to the Editor above for the explanation of WP:GNG as explained on another page. I appreciate the time taken and advice given. Though the level of notability I would say comes down to the many secondary, reliable, independent sources on the work of the actor being enough for a stub article (which was already there when I came along from a previous editor). I see I probably did too much too soon. With WP:NACTOR I would also argue he does make the requirement, with significant (named and speaking roles) in notable films, also referenced. I hope this does enough to keep the article from being deleted. Several changes have been made to the article in the past week by others to neutralise the tone, I'd like to keep "neutralising" it in future as well. Thanks. KNLRJG (talk) 15:43, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, "others" haven't done anything. One editor, I, removed some of the more egregious vios and tagged the article. Two bots have made technical (coding, punctuation) edits since.

  • Delete Sorry, I'm just not seeing evidence of WP:GNG here. Present sources are either not up to WP:RS standards or mention the subject only in passing. Hey, I'm a Greek American too, so far be it from me to want to suppress the manifold contributions of Greeks to American culture and society, but that's no excuse to stretch the rules for this guy.

The inventions claimed in the article seem improbable to me and the subject of the article does not appear to be notable. There are a number of references, but only two go to what could be reliable sources. First a US patent that strikes me as bizarre. Second is a scan of what appears to be a magazine article in Nadar Peedam which describes itself as a Tamil monthly, but does not have any recent publications on its web page. I don't speak Tamil, so I can't tell much about the publication, but a search for the publication's name in English comes up with few hits. SchreiberBike talk 05:40, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also searched using the Tamil name and very few sources, though a few looked promising Google Translate doesn't include Tamil. Nothing in Google Books that is noteworthy. Filing patents does not make a person notable. According to WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO need sources that are about Thanga Thirupathy. No obituaries published when he died in 2011?

The article is vague and lacks references. The content of the article is dealt with in much more detail in the season article. There is no precedent for the creation of this page - although the changes to the regulations are extensive, it is not the first time this has happened, and in the past these changes have been addressed on the most-relevant season article.

  • Speedy Keep The page has several references and had them when it was nominated. The statement of the nomination is therefore quite inaccurate. The nomination also seems to be suggesting that the topic is notable and would just prefer it to be covered under a different heading. That would be better addressed by merger not deletion per WP:ATD and WP:BEFORE. Warden (talk) 10:04, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: That's not what I am suggesting at all. While the subject is noteable, it is only noteable enough for inclusion on the relevant season article. The sport underwent significant changes in 2006 and 2009 that were similar in nature to these changes, but they do not have their own dedicated articles. In the wider context of these things, the content of the article only relates to the 2014 season (the regulations will form the basis for the 2015 rules) and the cars that compete. There is nothing in the article that is not already covered on the 2014 season page, and no additional detail that can be added. It appears to serve no other function than to prevent Red Bull RB10 and Renault Energy F1-2014 from being orphans. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:35, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see you're trying to delete the articles about the cars too. This all seems quite absurd as the cars and their engines are discussed in considerable detail in periodicals such as Racecar Engineering. What you seem to be trying to do here is cram everything into one page. We don't do this for other sports such as football and there seems to be no policy-based reason to do it for this one. And AFD is not the place to try to enforce your editorial whims. Warden (talk) 10:50, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not what I am trying to do. The regulation changes are adequately covered on the season article, which is consistent with the way the articles have been structured for years. This page and the two that go with it are only being kept alive due to a combination of ILIKEIT and to prevent each if them from becoming orphans. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:54, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep The article is verifiable and referenced. This is a significant and notable set of rule changes, evidenced by the wide and reliable cover. That is sufficient to justify this article that I created. The precedents are the thousands of other articles in Wikipedia similarly covering notable subjects. Freimütig (talk) 21:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: What coverage? These articles contain virtually no content. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:54, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The section on fuel in this article is not included in the season article. So at least merge, not redirect or delete. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:21, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Since there is no coverage for the predecessors of the cars, and such cars are already represented in the Formula One season pages, so there is no point keeping it. StandNThrow (talk) 11:49, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: This article has too many details that would interest too few people. I see that its predecessor from the year before has already been deleted. The general topic of Formula One merits its page, which could point to an external source of details. Their vast number exceeds the scope of any reasonable encyclopedic treatment.

  • Redirect - Although the Deadwood article doesn't particularly mention her name, it is still relevant. Searching "Bernadette McNamara writer" with Google News provided this (seems to be her with a married name now) and this (mentions "TV writer"). A search with "Deadwood" provided a foreign link. Google Books also provided mentions with her as a writer. As usual, some writers and directors don't get much attention but this one is probably more obvious because she only produced/wrote a few episodes. Finally, searches for Medium and NYPD Blue provided nothing, which is not surprising. No prejudice towards a future article if she obtains more attention or starts writing again.

  • Keep It can be very difficult to reference a biography of a notable but not famous journalist. First, you have to discount all the hits that are bylines to the journalists's own work. Those aren't independent. And then you have to discount sources discussing the journalist published by his/her employers. But if other reputable journalists discuss his/her work some time later, in a non-promotional context, shouldn't that count for something? And shouldn't the raw multitude of mentions count for something? I like book sources in cases like this. Clearly, we discount a book written by the subject, him/herself, but how about discussion in a book written by another employee of the same media organization? I will discount that a bit, but not entirely. Here's the bottom line: He's a working journalist with a long career, specializing as a war correspondent and foreign affairs reporter. He's not "famous", whatever that means, but he's very well known among those interested in the careers of contemporary war correspondents. Accordingly, I believe that he passes notability standards, based on mentions in a very large number of reliable sources, rather than independent, in-depth profiles in two or three reliable independent sources, which I did not find. I concede that other editors with different standards may disagree with my judgment here, and encourage other interpretations. I see this as a genuine borderline case.

  • Keep I found one source about his date of birth and I think this man deserves his own article he was worked hard for 40-years in field that is not the easiest in the world [Journalism] and is a few years away from retiring, I think that it should stay.

I struck the 'keep' word because this editor has made a statement headed by 'keep' already. The closing admin will note the further comment anyway. Fiddle Faddle 15:36, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Despite my being in favour of retaining the article because of the sourcing I found, I disagree with your argument that he deserves an article because he has worked hard all his life and is near retirement age. I and many relatives have done the same. Not ine of us is notable except to those who love us. Fiddle Faddle 15:33, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is a point to be made about his 40 years of service that deserves attention. NBC is an important network and to be employed by it and with that much time in service usually points to some achievement and some recognition.Crtew (talk) 04:58, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep: He satisfies several notability points for a journalist as #1, he is an award winning journalist and #2 he is used as an expert by other journalist. His career spans 40 years. He is definitely Heymann material. I have added an external link to his page that is an official NBC bio, and this can be used to make finer searches within Google and elsewhere.

This article definitely needs improving and the nominator was correct that in its present state it is problematic. Crtew (talk) 02:35, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
