This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Actors and filmmakers. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Actors and filmmakers|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Actors and filmmakers. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Misplaced Pages's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

• Delete, but weak delete, could not find reliable sources, although what I have trouble explaining is why this person has a rather high pageview count, averaging 50 pageviews/day. So what is going on here? Not much comes up after about 8 SERP pages. Maybe she is borderline notable in a somewhat non-mainstream area (Goth etc) so sources are not showing up? Not sure what to make of this, but I could change my vote with new information.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:24, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
• Comment - purely for consistency's sake this must be deleted, but ... can we save it? Bearian (talk) 22:16, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I could try to rescue it but my guess it will be fruitless. I've done Heymann-type revamps on articles posed for deletion (for notable subjects) only to see the revamps reverted, like on Laura Mersini-Houghton, back to a problematic article, so I am not so sure it would be worth it to try to improve an article on a (possibly?) marginal subject?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:58, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

@Tomwsulcer: Speaking as the only other delete !vote at the moment, I can tell you I would have no reason or inclination personally to revert improvements if you chose to spend your time doing so. I did search for sources myself, but if you can find some good stuff I couldn't for whatever reason I'm also not opposed to withdrawing it. --— Rhododendrites |  03:35, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, @Rhododendrites:, your open-mindedness is appreciated; what I am saying is that I could spend a half hour or hour trying to fix up this article on Lisa Hammer, and when done, we would all look at the revamp, and all still vote delete. But I am not sure. If an article has a chance, I like to revamp it but it is guesswork and I am trying to use my time productively.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 10:40, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• Merge to Mors Syphilitica. I'll also venture an Ignore All Rules keep. This is the sort of person that I would expect a comprehensive encyclopedia to cover. But as an underground film maker, she seems to have escaped notice in the more usual places. At the very least, we should be able to merge some of this article with the band page. The band page is in sad shape, but could be referenced. I found , and about the band. -- Whpq (talk) 15:59, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
• Uncertain, changing vote from Delete (above) to Uncertain, I added 5 references but I am still on the fence on this one. I think part of the problem is that she has done many things (actress, director, vocalist, etc) and much of this work is in niche territory, so it is hard for us Wikipedians who don't know the goth/horror world to know what the best sources are? If the article gets deleted, and anybody wants it back (revamped?) write something on my talk page and we could try refloating it.
• Weak keep, changing from looking for more references (added to the article); still, not sure about the overall quality of the references, in total, will go with what the closing admin decides. What's interesting still is the high pageview count, averaging 50 pageviews/day (plucked from my struck-out comment). Definitely an interesting person. Less sure about overall notability. If the article stays here in Misplaced Pages, I'll try to revamp it when I get time, but I don't want to work on something that will meet the ax.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 03:05, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

The result was Delete While this second relisting hasn't expired, it has been over 7 days, thus I'm exercising my ability to close any time after 7 days. This has been an unusual discussion, with struck votes and debates on a dozen different policy points, but two in particular stand out. As for WP:GNG, there seems to people on both sides of the discussion but leaning toward him failing this standard. That alone would be enough, but in all honestly WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE does matter any time it is requested, and I tend to believe the authenticity of the request. Looking at that policy see see a key sentence: "Discussions concerning biographical articles of relatively unknown, non-public figures, where the subject has requested deletion and there is no rough consensus, may be closed as delete.". They is, how do we define non-public figures? Following the link we get: "Many Misplaced Pages articles contain material on people who are not well known, even if they are notable enough for their own article.". Even if we are to stretch WP:GNG to the limit and declare him to pass, thus be notable (a premise that I do not subscribe to), it is unlikely he would be so notable as to deny him deletion under this policy. As such, I find a consensus to delete, for it doesn't cleanly pass WP:GNG, and even if it did, it would quality for deletion via WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 00:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Former failed PROD. Subject fails WP:BIO. He's won a couple non-notable awards for founding JCorps. Only news coverage comes from the AirBnB sex party and from the 2014 defamation lawsuit, the latter which keeps getting quietly deleted from the article. Reads more like a promotional C.V. than a biography, but maintenance tags to that point also keep getting deleted. Even the images associated with the article are not properly attributed, unless one assumes they were uploaded by Mr Teman himself, which brings up major WP:COI issues as the uploader is the article's main author. Ashanda (talk) 14:08, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• First, this has been addressed previously and previous nominations for deletion have been ruled against. Secondly, there are hundreds of press articles about Teman, not including ones on the AirBNB story, covering his comedy, entrepreneurship, activism, and technological innovations. Teman has (1) been featured in major press nationally and internationally (2) founded two international conferences (taking place in the USA and Canada), attended by over 5200 and featured on TED as "Best of the Web" and recognized by major press in those industries (3) was recognized by The White House for founding JCorps (this is sourced and is public information as are all White House guests and honorees) (4) founded GatherGrid which was also featured in Inc and is used by thousands. The photos uploaded are public record and used in multiple news articles covering Teman. Being recognized by The White House, Mayor Bloomberg, and by the Jewish Federations of North America (151 sub chapters, and over 570,000 votes in the competition) are all notable awards, as is being in a TV show with Stephen Fry on the BBC. This is getting to be a bit much and it is undoubtedly the work of a rather unsavory stalker as discussed on the Talk page of Ari Teman. 137.63.63.54 (talk) 15:36, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• @137.63.63.54: If you could please provide the link to where this previous discussion took place, I would appreciate reading it. Also, be careful -- your final statements border on violating the No personal attacks policy. Thank you. Ashanda (talk) 16:58, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
• There goes Ari, editing his own article, this time he chose a new IP, right after his old one (173.56.18.121) was blocked. And of course Ari himself fails to give credit to a co-founder of one of his conferences, cites among his accomplishments that a publication thought two of his jokes were funny, removes clear evidence that the $25,000 prize did not go to charity, removes two well sourced lawsuits against him, states that he earned honors in college but provides no evidence, tells the audience about each award he receives three times in his own article, etc. etc. etc. Maybe he is sufficiently notable, but for his notoriety rather than his accomplishments. Most recent non-Ari edited version of the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Ari_Teman&oldid=614713613 ArtTenak (talk) 16:10, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
• @ArtTenak: Please do not engage in personal attacks. Stick to the subject of this discussion, which is whether or not this article is notable enough for retention in the encyclopedia. Thank you. Ashanda (talk) 16:58, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• The website of the prize (http://www.jewishcommunityheroes.org/pages/rules) says explicitly that the donation goes to the 501(c)3, which it did here: "The Hero of the Year will be provided with a grant to be used as an investment in their community project or non-profit effort via his or her local Jewish Federation, or another recognized 501(c)3 charitable entity or Canadian equivalent":
• The website of the conference says explicitly that Teman is the founder: http://12gurusCharity.com/s/about.php as do multiple news sources. http://www.gizmodo.in/news/AirBNB-No-Thanks-for-the-quotXXX-Freak-Festquot-You-Brought-to-My-Home-NSFW/articleshow/32163734.cms . It would not be surprising to learn ArtTenak is or is an associate of Jonah Halper who a track record of dishonest behavior (and dishonestly claims to be the "Founder" of the conferences on his Altruicity website and linked-in. Clearly this is part of that same game, or ArtTenak is a fool falling for it.).137.63.63.30 (talk) 18:50, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• Well I guess it is no surprise that the website says exactly what the organization wants to say, but it is clearly then not a third party source. Is gizmodo.in a sufficient source for Misplaced Pages? Is an article about a Freakfest the place where the Freakfest article's author would verify the founding of a conference?ArtTenak (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

• 12gurus has been in business since far before NextGen and has NJ incorporation papers establishing that it existed years before the NextGen conferences. These are public record.137.63.63.30 (talk) 18:50, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• Well this is good, perhaps 137.63.63.65 could provide a link?ArtTenak (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

• It's very clear that ArtTenak is (1) acting vindictively (2) violating both the rules against discussing contributor's identities and (3) violating WP:NPA.
• The history of the page has multiple instances of this attack by the likely same person using fake aliases "KLetters", "ArtTenak" and IP addresses (see Talk page and Talk Page history).
• The vandal has been blocked by admins, and is now working with suspicious accounts to suggest the deletion of an article on someone who runs multiple international organizations and covered by hundreds of press features. This is obviously an attack and not a valid edit or suggestion of non-notability.137.63.63.30 (talk) 18:50, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• Is 137.63.63.65 one of the suspicious accounts? It only appeared a couple days ago.ArtTenak (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
• @137.63.63.30: Please do not engage in personal attacks. I opened this discussion in good faith, please stop asserting otherwise. Also, I ask you again to supply a link to the previous discussion(s) regarding deletion of this article that you mentioned in your first post. Thank you. Ashanda (talk) 19:39, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Ari_Teman&oldid=600030341 and multiple other unregistered wikipedia users have made similar denied requests .
• http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Notability_(people) states the requirements: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Teman has been covered multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject (JCorps, GatherGrid, 12gurus Conferences, Comedy, Patents, AirBNB, Jewish Community Hero, White House, etc.) Additionally, "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times.

The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." An international award, multiple other awards, and the creation of an ongoing international NGO all fulfill these requirements.

• It is not a personal attack to state that someone (ArtTenak , who may be KLetters of previous clear vandalism) is vandalizing a page when they are doing so blatantly with false facts, and removing positive awards and facts. The motive is clear. 137.63.63.188 (talk) 19:55, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• Are you sure the motive is clear?ArtTenak (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

• Citing the subject's own web site as proof of the subject's assertions is not a verifiable third party reference. You can not in one breath say that the co-founder's web site's statement is not sufficient but that the other co-founder's web site is. Also, this ignores that there is a verified video, containing both co-founders each referenced as a co-founder.ArtTenak (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
• Isn't 137.63.63.30 acting vindictively? Is 137.63.63.30 the subject of the article?ArtTenak (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
• I am not a vandal. I have not been blockedArtTenak (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
• Telling the joke of the week in an entertainment publication is not a notable award.ArtTenak (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• Being selected among thousands of comedians for only 1 spot, and with only about 40 selected yearly, in the biggest city in the world, in a publication read by over 2 million people is notable. 137.63.63.65 (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

• If the joke of the week is notable, is there a Misplaced Pages page of jokes of the week?ArtTenak (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

• Did you just violate the rules you are stating that others have violated?ArtTenak (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• No 137.63.63.65 (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

• Why doesn't the person who is so very interested in Ari's Misplaced Pages page create an account for himself instead of posting from an anonymous IP address?ArtTenak (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• Ok, ArtTenak, who are you? Real name, why are you "so very interested in Ari's Misplaced Pages page"? You seem to have an avid interest in Jonah Halper as well. 137.63.63.65 (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

• Why is the fact that someone rented the subject's apartment for a weekend and that it was written about in The New York Post a notable accomplishment of the article's subject? ArtTenak (talk) 20:38, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• It was the #1 story on the internet, feature in over 93 publications, from the NYTimes (today's edition), LA Times, Time, Today Show, Howard, Fox, CBS, ABC, Fusion, PIX, and on TV and press in China, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Ireland, Englad, France...I can keep going... 93 is a lot. Clearly all those publications and media thought it was notable. 137.63.63.65 (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

• Does that make it a notable accomplishment of the article subject? Wouldn't the article subject be better citing his notable actions rather than a notable mistake in which he became an unwitting facilitator of a sex party?ArtTenak (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

• Why would lawsuits involving the subject not be notable and be deleted by 137.63.63.188 and its predecessor 173.56.18.121?ArtTenak (talk) 20:38, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• I'm not a predecessed by any account. Stop the personal attacks and accusations unless you wish to disclose your real name or have it disclosed via lawsuit. If I were the subject, I'd subpoena your identity in a defamation suit, and likely add Ashanda given the accusation of non-notability is clearly damaging and false, that is: defamation. 137.63.63.65 (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

• You deny you are 173.56.18.121?ArtTenak (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
• But it's good that 173.56.18.121 and 137.63.63.65 are not Ari Teman. 137.63.63.65 in particular might want to talk to Ari before threatening a lawsuit on Ari's behalf, given all of the lawsuits that Ari has already been party to, including the one we learned about at the top of the page. Ari probably doesn't need the headache of a new lawsuit. But maybe he does, all press is good press, right?ArtTenak (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

• This venue is for discussion of whether or not to delete this article only. Content disputes should be kept to the article's own talk page. If you both continue your disruptive editing, you may both be sanctioned. Stop now. Also, do not place your replies into the middle of other editors' posts, it makes the discussion impossible to follow. Ashanda (talk) 22:28, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• It's obvious given the number of categories for which this has been included that the subject has done multiple notable things and this has become a silly, obvious attack by some sort of vindictive vandal. Nominating someone who has been recognized by multiple organizations, including The White House, Jewish Federations, and hundreds of publications (including ones like Inc, NY Times, Time, LA TImes, in addition to many local and regional, Jewish and non-Jewish papers) for deletion says more about Misplaced Pages and its use as a tool to harass, defame, and bully a person than it does about the subject, Ari Teman. Note that Mr. Teman has multiple patents, so notable, in fact, they've been cited by Google in their own later IP: http://www.google.com/patents/US20090248806#forward-citations . So there we have for a single individual notable achievements in: technology, business, social activism, books, awards, comedy, and the #1 trending story on the internet. Really, are we having a discussion about notability? This is bullying. Obvious, childish, bullying that earned Misplaced Pages a reputation from which it has long tried to distance itself. Shame. Instead of stopping the obvious vandals making false accusations of porn, fictional founders, racism, etc., you're enabling the attack. I vote to end this discusson now. There is only one voice. 137.63.63.65 (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

• Comment: Lawsuit regarding this Misplaced Pages Article NOTE: this Misplaced Pages entry and one of its editors was served with a defamation lawsuit right before this discussion began and ArtTenak appeared.

• Keep : Individual has articles in the press for over 10 years, has run three international organizations (each with thousands of members) in the press as far back as 2007, was covered in the press for his interaction with Barack Obama (that photo mysteriously deleted from page, needs to be re-added, as it's in public domain), has won multiple awards, holds patents (cited by Google, too). Thus "WP:TOOSOON" doesn't apply since he's already accomplished these things and been noted for them in multiple RS. WP:BIO is answered by user:Shawn in Montreal correctly: "We do have enough non-minor coverage, for me. My rule of thumb is at least 3 RS, which we have in the NY Post, J Post & Inc. magazine articles alone." And another 100+ articles. NYClay770 (talk) 16:32, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

• KeepAs Shawn in Montreal said, "We do have enough non-minor coverage... Multiple RS, which we have in the NY Post, J Post & Inc. magazine" (plus as of this week: NY Times). However, I am asking the administrators here to view the ArtTenak page and consider a full ban given repeated violations (3 reverts, uncited sources, defamatory langauge) and that it's clearly solely dedicated to bash Mr. Teman. Also to increase protection on this page to not allow auto-approvals. I'm sure a review of the subject headings created by ArtTenak will be seen clearly for what they are. Please revert to last accepted revision before ArtTenak. NYClay770 (talk) 14:59, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

• Given that user:ArtTenak was the sole driver of the Deletion request, has been acknowledged to be in violation, and the majority of votes are Keep (citing over 10 RS including NY Times, Inc, JPost, BBC, Today Show, etc), I ask that the deletion request be removed as it is disparaging to Ari Teman. NYClay770 (talk) 16:32, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

• This Afd should run its course. What's more you appear to be a WP:SPA editor and the closing admin will certainly take that into account. I'm !voting keep, but this process works by consensus and the blocked editor is not the only deletion !vote. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:46, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

• Hi Shawn, I am not a WP:SPA . I have edited, corrected, and created many articles. I switched accounts due to repeated harassment and vandalism from this, to prevent previous articles I've edited from being vandalized, too by this rather vindictive Kletters/ArtTenak, but you can see my recent updates in my contribution page: https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/NYClay770 — Preceding unsigned comment added by NYClay770 (talk • contribs) 17:51, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

• "Sole driver"? How about the person who nominated it in the first place? You accuse me of sockpuppettry, then go on to admit it yourself. I'm happy to submit to a WP:CHECKUSER, are you? How's the weather in the Seychelles, or are you still using the NYC FiOS account to access an WP:OPENPROXY? The sad thing is that if you had calmly argued your case, you had a decent chance of winning it, but by wildly violating multiple policies, you're certainly not winning any friends. So, no, I DO NOT withdraw this nomination. Thank you. Ashanda (talk) 18:39, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

• Striking my personal comments. Sorry for losing my temper at the repeated accusations. Ashanda (talk) 20:16, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

• Comment from nominator To summarize for any admins perusing this discussion for closing; despite the excessive verbiage, there have been two !votes for keep, and two three !votes for delete -- including my nom. The seeming extra keep arguments are all from the same user using several IPs and logged in once as well. I'm unsure that consensus is clear here, I'd ask for an extension of discussion. Thank you. Ashanda (talk) 00:09, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• user:Ashanda admits that this is a temper-driven nomination. He then violates the terms of not identifying a contributor. He is clearly biased and his nomination is a temper-driven harassment, by his own admission. I urge him to be blocked from Ari Teman and this discussion. This is really a sad example of what Misplaced Pages can be. NYClay770 (talk) 18:19, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete A lot of talk about this but on review of the article, other than the "Freak Fest" at his apartment and the recent business lawsuit he might bein, all of the information is old about the subject, and even he is too old to participate in Jcorps (up to age 30) and has not held a 12Gurus conference recently according to the websights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.227.56 (talk) 03:23, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
  • — 71.167.227.56 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. . Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:50, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Really: all of it? The Jerusalem Post feature, for one, is neither "old," nor about any of those topics. Also, per WP:N#TEMP and WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP, "old information" doesn't seem to me to be a reason to delete. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:55, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

@User:Shawn in Montreal, user: Ashanda admits he's got a temper and bias against Ari Teman. I'm sure a subpeona of "71.167.227.56" will show the user to be the same person defaming and harrassing Teman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NYClay770 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Ashanda admits temper and bias in this post, above. From saying things like "the sad thing is that if you had calmly argued your case, you had a decent chance of winning it" and "Striking my personal comments. Sorry for losing my temper", user:Ashanda has shown clearly his bias. Further his accusations of violating WP:Policy while himself violating it repeatedly is further evidence of his bias. He then filed another report ( https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Misbehavior_at_the_Ari_Teman_AfD ) where he suspiciously neglects to mention his fellow vandals: user:KLetters, user:ArtTenak (banned), user:Demenac234,user:68.143.198.222,user:108.30.243.78,user:38.96.141.68,user:38.108.195.50,user:47.23.40.34. Mentioning only one side and not the other is the very definition of bias. I request that user:Ashanda be banned and this discussion (really, harassment) be closed. NYClay770 (talk) 18:39, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BLP1E. This guy is only known because he rented his apartment out to someone he met on the internet. The sources don't give sufficient depth of coverage, aren't reliable, or aren't intellectually independent of one another. Gossip newspapers are not reliable sources. —/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 18:49, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Well, okay this is all becoming moot if the article subject is a) asking for it to be deleted and b) apparently now engaging in legal action but I should just like to point out, not for the first time, that the Jerusalem Post, for one, is not a "gossip newspaper," nor is it reporting on the apartment thing. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:09, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

User:Shawn in Montreal, these people aren't worth convincing. Anyone arguing that the Jerusalem Post (JCorps) or New York Times or Inc Magazine (gathergrid) or JTA is a "gossip rag" is not worth the time to respond. Misplaced Pages has proven itself to be fertile ground for harassment and defamation, with you being a rare exception. It's unfortunate and not the vision outlined by user:Jimbo_Wales. Thanks for your help. When I'm up in Montreal doing a show say hello if you'd like. AriTeman (talk) 19:35, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete . This is Ari Teman. I am not sure how to verify that, but you can see the length of time this account has existed, and a Misplaced Pages admin may email me if they're able (the email goes to my domain). I'm asking you to delete this article, not because there's any ground, but because this entry (Ari Teman) has become nothing more than a tool for anonymous cowards to defame and harass. They've falsely accused me of acting in porn, stealing from charity, being racist. So please just delete this. It will be a valuable loss, but I'm tired of alerts about vandalism. Thanks to user:Shawn in Montreal. I suspect I'll learn the true identities of a few of the other accounts when the subpoenas come back. - Ari AriTeman (talk) 18:59, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Maybe this will help: https://twitter.com/AriTeman/status/486223401322037248 . Really disappointed in Misplaced Pages, but I'm tired of the alerts and defamation. Costly, damaging, and mentally traumatizing (Good job, stalkers!). It needs to stop. Please delete this tool for stalkers. AriTeman (talk) 19:02, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

@User:AriTeman, if you're up here at Just for Laughs I'll try and check you out. In the meantime, I suspect we'll have administrator action before too long but if it doesn't happen fast enough you could always e-mail info-en-q@wikimedia.org or visit here and contact the foundation, with a link to this Afd. best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:39, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

@AriTeman: I agree that the vandalism of this article regarding you being vandalized is unacceptable. Misplaced Pages takes articles on living persons very seriously. Egregious violators are blocked, often without warning according to policy, and if this article survives this AfD, I amongst others can keep this on our watchlist to make sure similar BLP vandalism does not recur. That being said, that last sentence borders on a a legal threat and is also against policy, if you do have serious issues, I recommend contacting the General Counsel for Wikimedia directly. ♥ Solarra ♥ ߷ _{♀ 投稿 ♀} 05:24, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• I didn't "threaten" to sue. I sued. I also didn't sue Misplaced Pages. I don't see a need to sue Misplaced Pages if it cooperates within the Law (Frankly after the YEARS of the bullshit on this article, I don't care what your "policies" are. You've got to delusional if you expect me to respect your policies with the way this article has been raped by any random hoodlum and stalker who comes across it.) When the law is broken I go to law enforcement and lawyers, not anonymous Misplaced Pages admins. AriTeman (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• Keep as other editors have pointed out (though they may have exposed bias) that Mr. Teman's endeavours have been well-documented by reliable news sources for several years. Founder of multiple notable international organizations, author of at least a few books, first winner of a national Jewish community foundation award, unfortunately involved recently in a couple of unsavoury incidents. Any one of these taken separately would likely fail WP:BLP1E but there's enough of them, and enough coverage, to warrant a keep. WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE allows a non-public figure to request deletion of their own article, but I don't think the definition applies to Mr. Teman based on the guideline. I feel that if he were not threatening to sue us we would not be considering deletion, and in fact his intimidation has coerced at least one editor to strike their !vote. WP:NPOV is one of our oldest policies, and we fail it if we let individuals use bullying and legal threats to control the information we include here. Ivanvector (talk) 20:28, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

It's not intimidation. There's been slagging on both sides and the article subject says enough. I changed my !vote willingly. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:26, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

It is intimidation, whether it's intended or not, and whether or not you were actually moved by it. Telling someone that we can put aside our policies and guidelines because they have lawyers is a terrible precedent to set. Ivanvector (talk) 22:34, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

There have been comments made here -- on both sides -- that are defamatory, and we do have strict policies against that. You've got an article subject who barely meets WP:BIO, at most. I'd say common sense dictates we just end this. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:54, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Nothing I've said is defamatory. Defamatory statements require falsehood. AriTeman (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

What we have here is someone seeking continued employment in the entertainment industry, among other pursuits, who (allegedly) created their own article three years ago, and (allegedly) used multiple accounts to maintain their article during that time. That may or may not have been a violation of WP:SPA, that's for a different discussion. Then, more recently, the subject got themselves into some legal trouble and drew some negative publicity, and suddenly they're here trying to get that negative info removed, (once again allegedly) abusing multiple accounts and making legal threats to try to force control over their content. This is exactly what WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE is not for. Yes, there has been deplorable behaviour on both sides of this discussion, but as far as I can tell there has only been talk about a legal demand to learn anonymous contributors' identities (which I can only assume is for the purpose of contacting those editors with further legal demands) coming from one side. It appears to me that PC/1 and blocking have dealt with the problem editors, at least for now. Common sense says if he was notable before the recent incidents, he continues to be notable now. Ivanvector (talk) 23:19, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• You've got to be kidding me. You quoted user:Ashanda's temper-driven false accusation of facts. Do you think I am user:Tipclaysailak and went to the JCorps article to vandalize my own organization? There's no threat. There's an actual lawsuit. Not against wikipedia, against those who have broken the law. (I probably am TemanAri1 and forgot my password, but I wouldn't be able to verify this unless an Admin can send a reset password link to the email in use. All user:TemanAri1 did was upload the Obama photo: https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/TemanAri1 so it's probably me. ) I didn't "get myself into legal trouble". Plenty of baseless lawsuits are brought by people against people who didn't do anything that would "get them into trouble". Neither of those suits have any "trouble". One has a motion to dismiss (as the article states), one was dropped. No trouble. Misplaced Pages would be nicer if people checked facts before posting accusations and reposting false accusations. AriTeman (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Not kidding, sir, that's my interpretation of the dispute. The edits which you reverted as "vandalism" on that article are pretty far from what we would define as vandalism. To me they appear to be good faith attempts by a new editor to improve the encyclopedia. The sourcing wasn't great and they probably would have been tagged, improved or removed from the article, but repeatedly calling the user a "vandal" is a bit over the top. On Misplaced Pages, vandalism is a long way off from stuff you don't like. Ivanvector (talk) 22:31, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - It's kinda close, but the sourcing just isn't there. After the solid JPost feature, it drops into trivial blips and passing coverage of other events and such. As the subject has expressed desire to delete, we default to WP:BIODELETE, no exception. Tarc (talk) 23:52, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks. Please delete. I'm not ok with the 'deplorable' accusation. If you think JCorps and http://12gurusHealth.com or http://12gurusCharity.com are "trivial" (having been featured on TED as "Best of the Web" and covered in Inc, Fast Company, Chronicle of Philanthropy, etc. since you want "RS") there's nothing I'm going to do that will impress you and I'll be happier with this deleted. No more Misplaced Pages is exactly how much Misplaced Pages I want. AriTeman (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• The "exception" is that WP:BIODELETE (and WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE) are for "low-profile individuals" to request deletion of an article about themselves. If we let every person or organization with a beef request that their verifiable and reliably sourced information be scrubbed from the project, we wouldn't have much of an encyclopedia, would we? So, is Mr. Teman a low-profile individual? We define low-profile individuals as "someone who has been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention, often as part of their connection with a single event", and "ersons who actively seek out media attention are not low-profile, regardless of whether or not they are notable." It seems to me that someone who works as a performer in the entertainment industry automatically doesn't meet this definition, but as other editors have tried to point out Mr. Teman has also been the subject of national and international press coverage for his admirable volunteer work, featured in a TED "best-of" list, appeared in TV commercials and as a regular on a national network, and is recipient of at least one award presented by a national organization. None of this seems to match the description of a person who doesn't seek media attention. Ivanvector (talk) 22:56, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete The subject is a good comedian and will possibly satisfy WP:BIO in the future, but meanwhile "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" is not satisfied. The only factoid at JCorps relating to this article is that Teman started JCorps in 2006 as a website—not enough content for another article. Some editors have wanted to use Misplaced Pages to tell the world about certain claims, but there is nothing encyclopedic in the now deleted content. Johnuniq (talk) 01:56, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

* Thanks user:Johnuniq. The complement is nice, even on here.

* "there is nothing encyclopedic in the now deleted content" . Thanks.

* For the record (since it's the work of many individuals, and not just me): JCorps is an international volunteer network in multiple countries with thousands of members from over 180 colleges, 600 companies, etc. and many volunteer leaders, it's not "a website" (and right now our website is having all sorts of technical issues due to a server change), and it's had ongoing press in the USA, Canada, Israel, etc, has funded by major foundations, recognized by The White House, sponsored by Google, Schusterman Foundation, etc.. You can see that article has been vandalized, too, by the same vandal user:Tipclaysailak : https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=JCorps&diff=615631388&oldid=589413196 . I don't have confidence in Misplaced Pages's ability to block vandals and the defamation is extreme. I've undone those edits (with my *real* name -- policy be damned), but that won't stop the attacks. Don't bother "protecting" the page, because that's a joke. AriTeman (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - I agree with the majority above me, especially Ashanda, this is real close on the WP:GNG hurdle but not quite there and is more of a WP:1EVENT article. Outside of the coverage of that event, this article is extremely promotional and would need a fundamental rewrite in order to be encyclopedic. ♥ Solarra ♥ ߷ _{♀ 投稿 ♀} 05:04, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks. Please delete. Please delete this so the harassment and defamation stops. AriTeman (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• Keep - A question I have is if this Misplaced Pages article has actually created the notability? Not just that the article exists but at the point a few months ago that further details were added including the lawsuit, is the article NOW notable when greater details are included?

I did make a notation on JCorps asking if that organization itself is notable, and presumably the founder is no longer a member since it goes up to age 28. The conferences that are referenced don't have a Misplaced Pages page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tipclaysailak (talk • contribs) 00:09, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Getting coverage for your book, as an author, would establish notability so I see nothing wrong with the two sources above.

This article was tagged as possible failing the notability requirement since 2010. I recently proposed deletion, based on WP:ONEEVENT. This proposal was rejected by the article's creator, on the grounds that he "still remembers the event", and that the event has historical importance. That is not my understanding of WP:ONEEVENT - the event may be notable, but that does not mean that a person whose only notability is his participation in the event is notable Brad Dyer (talk) 15:47, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Putting aside (for now) the question of whether he merits a decent article here, the article that he now has looked until a few minutes ago as if it was lazily "summarized" (i.e. copied and then clumsily abridged) from the page about Garen at fourcornersmedia.net.

• Keep while the AfD is understandable, given the former article, and I agree that the one-event of his kidnapping and release (which received huge international attention) is arguably the most important event in his journalistic career, there is much more to him which clearly meets the GNG, particularly he is a notable documentary filmmaker working in a dangerous region (the Middle East) who continues to produce notable work. This material was not in the article before, but now is (see 15 sources; over half of them are not about the kidnapping). He is an award-winning photographer; his documentary won a top award. And the kidnapping continues to have ramifications today, specifically touching on the rights of journalists (who often are ill-treated in wartime). His book about the ordeal won

• Delete - fails WP:GNG. To be honest, I'd probably support the deletion of the group/channel as failing WP:ORGDEPTH too. That they had one video that got some coverage in mainstream media does not make them notable. There are plenty of people who have YouTube videos that have since been featured on compilation shows or even "YouTube video of the week" news items. The sites hosting copies of the video really don't constitute coverage at all - they are just hosting a copy of the video and the only mention of the group or the individuals involved comes from the in-video credits - the subjects covering themselves - and from comments members of the group have posted into comments sections under some of the videos. The self-promotion is strong with this one. St★lwart 06:40, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

• Weak Keep to Delete-- The subject seems to be listed in the IMdB database and is mentioned in the article for the dvd's release announcement here> . However, when you do a research on the various projects listed there are very few of them that list him as being involved. This may be one of those cases where there is more self injected participation than actual participation? I am really on the fence with this one. After reviewing it and trying to verify I can assert that the titles do not exist and the subject does not meet notability standards.--Canyouhearmenow 11:37, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

    • You raise a very good point Joe Decker. This is why I said I was on the fence. I know he wasn't in Kentucky Pride for a fact, however, in many cases they could participate in various projects and go uncredited. I think this takes us right back to our original problem which would be notability. IF we cannot source the claims, then we have no other choice but to delete this article.Canyouhearmenow 15:22, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - What we have here is a mostly unverifiable mess. About the only thing that can be verified is having a credit in Crocodile Dundee. There is no substantial coverage about this actor that I can find. There is a claim for being known for the Kentucky Pride Film series of the 1990's. I can find no evidence for the existence of such a film series. None whatsoever. There is also the claim of hosting the game show "Imminent Answer" from the 70's 80's and 90's. For such a long running show, again, I can find no evidence even for its existence. This article fails one of Misplaced Pages's most fundamental policies of verifiability. I suspect that much of this article is actually made up. -- Whpq (talk) 16:22, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Notability on Misplaced Pages, as measured by the existence of substantive coverage in reliable sources, has to already exist for a person to qualify for an article — "the things he's done already at 17" don't demonstrate notability yet if they haven't been covered in real reliable sources yet. Bearcat (talk) 17:57, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

• Delete; probable conflict of interest article about a person with no properly referenced evidence of notability as of today. I can loosely agree with some of his friends above that he probably will eventually become notable enough for a Misplaced Pages article if he keeps it up — but the time for that article is when he's actually accomplished something that gets him past WP:CREATIVE, not right now.

Does not pass GNG or WP:CREATIVE notability guidelines. Claim to fame is a Non-notable film. Sources to back up this include IMDB, Youtube, and other Wikis which is 100% not appropriate.

• Do Not Delete Gauni story is not as it is been seen behind a keyboard. It has to be told to help it identify as notable person. It not any obsession as one of you suggest's neither any conflict of interest as other may say. Totally unfounded behind some text. It's determination to have collective intelligence applied.

• Delete - as I stated on my talk page, while communicating with the article creator, the article subject fails the golden rule - apart from a few youtube interviews, there are pretty much no relevant results if you search for the name on Google. This person, with the current secondary sources available, is just not notable enough for a Misplaced Pages article. I fail to understand why it was recreated after so many other editors reached this conclusion too, and the page creator was aware of this. Add this to the general poor (potentially un-encyclopedic) quality of the article, and I endorse its deletion. --BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 18:04, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete - that's exactly my point. Your points of ref are same searches on Internet where as there is more word of mouth notable references. It has taken me consistent effort to keep convincing so many editors but "hard work" pays off. Just to show that getting subjective does not derive your end results. Once can shrink and ref and get "Gauni" a start. Once they see even a one line mention others will build on it. How many people can be a firefighter, write books, make films and give everything away.

Gauni is the first ethnic guy actually to achieve that and Rock Paper Dice Enter is the first commercially released 100% Canadian feature film of suspense thriller genre from City of Edmonton to released worldwide this is as confirmed by Global news live yesterday.

• CommentI hope this is right way of defense. I am getting advise from very cool Editors. So lets do this;

1. For "Gauni" I have been constantly seeking right reference. Lately his profile has started showing up in public there is There is hardly any reference of him being ethnic. There are two remarkable first's here - First Brown Volunteer Brown Firefighter for City of Brampton, there is reference about it with the City and Mayor's speeches but no way to present.Hence with the film itself Rock Paper Dice Enter the Mayor, Minister of Culture and The Senator from Ottawa were present on opening night of film Rock Paper Dice Enter. How many times one sees that on a opening night of film. The reason they were there because Gauni has that notability of what he is doing for community. This has been in news and when I had references from Senate of Canada making that clear mention and one Editor thought of it as it was with poor intent 2. For "Gauni" My other right references are his Bibliography. The book is part of Five star good read. Harper Collins also has references of more stuff coming out soon but hard to present 3. For "Gauni" My other right references are his volunteer work. Part of his Heart and Stroke is public but the other part I cannot reference back is part "Million Dollar" pledge team There are no clever reference here. That is "correct" because I am presenting what is in public domain. I have no accessibility to all other references to be presented here but I have sincerely tried to connect dots I rest the case on what is Misplaced Pages mandate and respect itDanVanKant (talk) 20:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)DanVanKantDanVanKant (talk) 20:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

7 year old basically unsourced WP:BLP for an actress who seems to lack the necessary notability to have her own article. According to Google, she mainly plays smallish roles in single episodes of TV series, nothing major or lasting. Her plays seem also to have received only minimal attention . The middle two sentences of the article at the moment (about "snarf" and "mashive") seem to be 5-year old vandalism.... Fram (talk) 15:11, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

• Delete A lack of substantial coverage of her or her work. Her roles on TV have generally been small or medium-sized, rather than leading or well-known. She seems quite popular in Jane Austen circles, and crops up a lot in their newsletters and websites, but not in reliable sources. Lack of reviews of her stage work (although shows at e.g. Edinburgh Festival Fringe can attract a lot of reviews). It's possible her older, pre-internet-era work might make her notable despite appearances to the contrary, but at the moment I'm not seeing anything. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:21, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

• Keep Passes WP:ENTERTAINER #1 just fine. Was one of the main cast members in Penguin no Mondai which has over 250 episodes made. They are listed as being in all the television shows. shows all major roles in bold, so they've done others as well. Dream Focus 11:02, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

  • There is no doubting this person was in a notable show that had over 250 episodes, they a main cast member in it. He was also a main character in Hikarian, which had over two hundred episodes. Sounds like some major roles to me. Dream Focus 03:07, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

While ANN's encyclopedia is not a reliable source, it can be used to verify (though not source) if a voice actor has had several major roles. Narutolovehinata5 02:26, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

• Keep - I'm very much aware that I originally !voted delete in the original AfD, but since then I learned that she voiced Link in a few games. Yes, Link is well-known for not exactly being talkative, but still, a major character such as Link, isn't that enough to pass WP:ENTERTAINER? Narutolovehinata5 02:26, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Well no, voicing a character that historically rarely, if ever speaks doesn't seem like a very good justification for making a special case of ignoring the root of the GNG. Sources are still paramount, and none of the roles listed seem like candidates for a strong likelihood of reliable sources and wide coverage. The article, after two AFD's still only has two sources and one of them can't be used to ascertain notability.SephyTheThird (talk) 00:56, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - Notability of voice actors is not determined by how many series they have been in, how big those series are or how famous those series are. It's determined by the same thing as every other article - wide coverage in third party reliable sources, none of which are demonstrated by this article to a reasonable degree. The Entertainer sub section is being used as an catch all excuse for articles that don't demonstrate notability without dealing with these core issues and it needs to stop. It's irrelevant how many episodes a show is if the voice provider only has a few lines here and there. If the provision of voices for individual roles is significant than it will be covered in sources suitable. Clearly, in this case it isn't and it should be subject to the same rules as any other page. SephyTheThird (talk) 00:56, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Subject only had 1 to 3 episode-long guest appearances, very small film roles, and no significant coverage in any entertainment news/magazines articles or websites. While she did win a Young Artist Award for a guest role, that alone is not enough to merit notability (not everyone who wins that award has an article here) and there is no indication she has plans to return to acting anytime soon.

Roles were generally supporting/guest (note that the "co-starring" role in Always Greener wasn't the Australian show but an obscure 2001 thing that IMDb has almost no info about), and nothing that could be called innovative, cult, or iconic.

A contributor to the Dutch-language soundtracks for Japanese TV series. There's something delightfully obscure about this; but, well, he's obscure. The article has no independent sourcing. There's a link to an article on him in nl:Misplaced Pages, but that too has no independent sourcing. I googled and found Misplaced Pages scrapes, lists (sans commentary) of what he's appeared in, and not much more. His (very flash) website suggests that he's tried a variety of things, but the web doesn't seem to present much coverage of them. Hoary (talk) 02:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

• Delete Dante Basco actually played Zuko in the series, I do not see any notability here. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Knowledgekid87, I understand from the article on him that Dante Basco did the voice for Zuko in English (and that this is his major claim to fame). We're told that Sander van der Poel did the same for Dutch. I don't see why doing a job in one (Germanic) language is necessarily a greater or lesser achievement than doing it in another; if SvdP's achievements had been at all discussed, he might well merit an article, just as Dante Basco does. ¶ Oh, hang on a moment: the sole assertion in the article on Basco for which an independent source is provided is He attended Orange County High School of the Arts. Uhhh. ¶ Ah well, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. -- Hoary (talk) 00:29, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Comment - Dante's job is more notable because English is both the original language of the series and the language the series is most well known in. - Bensci54 (talk) 03:01, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
      • Yes, sorry, I only glanced at the article, noticed 降卋神通 and so forth, and assumed it was east Asian. Basco's was indeed the original voice. (Or so the article on him tells us. Its writers don't deign to provide any evidence.) -- Hoary (talk) 06:09, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

• Delete on the lack of significant coverage in independent secondary sources. To the nom, interviews are not always primary sources - a person being interviewed not only reiterating their past but contemplating it can be a secondary source. But it is not a independent source which is a requirement as well for notability, and that's not shown here. --MASEM (t) 18:33, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
• Keep It says in the article clearly Star Wars: The Clone Wars (TV series) (2008-2014) – Padmé Amidala. She played a major character on a notable show for six years. That and her other work seem to clearly pass WP:ENTERTAINER. Dream Focus 22:50, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

• Keep, covered in reliable sources. I have added some to the article. Antrocent (♫♬) 08:46, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Of those added: About.com is not a reliable source (it's an SPS), the Variety article does not give "significant coverage" as required by WP:N, and while the interview is good, it again is an issue with independence of information (as I've described above). --MASEM (t) 17:56, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Wired magazine did a long interview with her. And she is interviews for a television interview at . But her notable roles make her pass WP:ENTERTAINER easily so that's all that matters. Dream Focus 21:06, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
      • Interviews are not sufficient sources as they are not independent (even if they are secondary). And I disagree that she meets the "multiple significant roles" that ENT #1 requires (ignoring the present discussion at WP:BIO about whether voice actors should be included in that.) Her resume only boost two standout roles, Amadla in the Clone Wars works, and FF12; the rest are a smattering of parts. --MASEM (t) 23:40, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
        • There is no difference from someone writing about someone or interviewing them and writing about that. They are notable enough to get coverage. And how many standout roles do you think someone needs? Dream Focus 23:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
• Keep Sources do not rise to WP:GNG, but do not need to, as we can verify she meets WP:ENTERTAINER --Rob (talk) 03:39, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
• Keep Interviews may not be always reliable for some things, but they are worth something. As long as they are with an organization that chooses to interview people, instead of just interviewing everyone, the interview is worth noting. It is a lazy-mans way of writing an indepth article, but they are indepth. She clearly passes the multiple significant roles criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
• Keep She is voicing Leia in Star Wars Detours after voicing Amidala on Star Wars: The Clone Wars for its six seasons, sources found that are independent of the interview. She is also the voice of main character Penelo in Final Fantasy XII. -AngusWOOF (talk) 02:09, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Notability not shown with any sources, let alone the WP:SECONDARY ones required by WP:BASIC. Binksternet (talk) 05:28, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

• Delete: As the nom indicates there is nothing to suggest notability here and no sourcing. Then there is the troubling fact that Heather Hogan#Bio is a carbon copy of the mini-bio at IMDb and that Heather Hogan#Filmography, aside from part of "Other notes", replicats the IMDb "Actress" filmography . The likely copyvio of the bio is not good. I say "likely" since we don't know exatly when IMDb's section went up, but it's better to err on the side of caution that we didn't get there first. And yes, a filmography is going to look similar, but the near replication of the IMDb list in full and the copyvio makes more than a simple list suspect. - J Greb (talk) 15:45, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

  • You mean the section that is going to get turfed as COPYVIO? - J Greb (talk) 06:26, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
    • We're here to discuss the notability of the person for an article, not the article's content. I don't see it as a copyvio at all. The information was changed. You compile a list like this anywhere, listing the year, the series, and their roll in it, it'll look similar to other list. Dream Focus 06:50, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
      • Points of clarification: 1) The "Bio" section is a direct lift from IMDb. It goes even if the filmography stays. 2) While the filmography, name, and profession of "Actress" can be supported from the show and film credits, nothing else has any supporting information aside from the text copied from IMDb. And that assuming IMDb is correct. 3) An AfD can look at the totality of an article, not just the points the nom raises. If there are additional content or policy issues, they get dealt with.
        
        Now, are there other sources for that information, or is it going to get pulled via BLP at the same time the copyvio gets yanked? If the non-list section goes, is the list of credits sufficient to meet all relevant Notability standards? At this point, without the issues other than Notability being fixed, the Article content amounts to:
        
          "Heather Hogan is a voice actress who took over the role of Ducky, one of the main characters in animated film franchise The Land Before Time,
          for the second, third, and fourth installments. She has also voiced secondary or minor characters in a few animated films and televisions series
          while concentrating on voice work in the video game industry."
        
        Which makes for a slim article at best, even with the full filmography. - J Greb (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
        • It would just be redone in a different way. The size of the article is not relevant anyway. The information is confirmed in the credits of the things she has been part of. She also list things on her official website Dream Focus 10:41, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
• Note, if the list was a direct copy it'd have the same information. Here she is listed as being in Lunar: Silver Star Harmony in 2010, but no mention of that there. Instead IMDb list her doing Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch in 2012. Her website resume doesn't list either of these, she not considering it notable enough to mention at all apparently. That and other differences convince me it is not a copy violation. Also I checked the history, and the list as it is now was added over time starting in February of 2006 and just bits and pieces added over time. Dream Focus 10:54, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Created by a verified sock noted for hoaxes, this might not be one, as there are two obituaries which appear to reliably verify his existence. I'm not sure that that rises, however, to notability, and is it completely insane that I'm starting to wonder about the obits? Perhaps. j⚛e decker 18:58, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

  • Comment I'm not sure I agree as a matter of textual interpretation, G5 refers to blocked users, not blocked accounts, and many of this user's socks, which have been confirmed by CU, have been indef blocked for 3+ years.

      • Comment Good call. I'm not sure how the sock issue will turn out but I'm going to collect some more references if I can find them and see whether notability can be established.  Philg88  08:13, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
• Keep Comment without prejudice to the block/sock issue I believe Letham probably passes individual/actor notability based on the existing article reference to The Scotsman and the following:
• "Obituary: Ronnie Letham". Herald Scotland. 9 May 2008. Retrieved 21 June 2014.

Reliable source, 330 word obituary.

• "Letham, Ronnie, 1949-2008, actor and student at Jordanhill College of Education, Glasgow". University of Strathclyde Archives. Retrieved 21 June 2014.

Reliable source, 81 word vignette.

• "Theatre: A hotel from Hell: Richard Loup-Nolan on new productions in Glasgow and Edinburgh". The Independent. 18 May 1994. Retrieved 21 June 2014.

Reliable source, passing mention in theatre review.

There are also multiple mentions of him in a Google Book search as a cast member, while News has seven mentions.

In summary, three strong references and, per actor notability guideline, confirmation of significant roles in multiple notable television shows and stage performances.  Philg88  08:52, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

It looks like you are referring to this source when you say BTVA. To me, it looks like BTVA has almost no coverage of Hoffman, so it does not establish notability.

• My keep was based on the 34 references which the article has. At least some of them actually discuss her performance as a voice actor.

• Weak delete, clearly a hard-working voice actor, worked with lots of top people. Perusing the numerous "references" that are currently in the article, I did not find ones that I thought were reliable, detached, which covered the subject in-depth. I searched google for 10 SERP pages on "web" setting (not news) did not find much. What there are, at present, is lots of mentions in the "references", but I am not sure that adds up to meet the GNG standard. So, essentially, the article is an overworked resume or CV, not a real encyclopedic article. I may change my vote if the non-references are removed and suitable ones found (maybe past the 10 SERP pages?) but for now, unfortunately, I vote weak delete as per Binksternet.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:42, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

• Yes, the process you describe corresponds well with the process I undertook, except that I also looked for Google News and Google Books results, and I searched under the screen credit names Ruby Marlowe, Serena Kolb and Tessa Ariel. I agree that the article as we see it today is an extended list of appearances, lacking an in-depth biographical piece. Binksternet (talk) 03:59, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Not all the articles that cover her in detail are available online. The news review of her theatre work and the MSU Alumni ones point to biographical articles. The LA Times article covers that she worked as a car model/narrator and leads to the Time Trackers movie. Several of the Ah My Goddess movie reviews describe her performance as the title character Belldandy in the film. If that needs to be detailed better than I will add that to the bio. Many of the other credits prove existence and participation as starring characters in notable anime shows. The disadvantage she has compared to other voice actors is that she doesn't attend anime conventions for that cult personality popularity, although she does attend voiceover seminars as a panelist. -AngusWOOF (talk) 06:08, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

The anime reviews, which do come from reliable sources, do describe their critiques of Hoffman's dubbing performance in the series. Please do not assume everything is just SERP fishing; she does have significant voice and directing roles in notable anime titles, and those are more notable than most of her live-action work like her connections with Raimi / Becker. -AngusWOOF (talk) 08:41, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Non-notable cinematographer. Almost none of the references are independent and the story of meeting his parents is covered by WP:BLP1E.

• Keep: Notablity is not only only because of him being a cinematographer. In addition, he is equally if not more notable because of his origin as a Russian boy adopted by a New Zealand family and how his story attracted public attention at length and led to serious discussion about adoptions and search for one's origins. It became subject of an auto-documentary broadcast on NZ media as well and helped others start a quest to find their own birth parents. Keep. werldwayd (talk) 20:33, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

As some other editors have said Delete for this article they claim to be checking all the sources to see if they are reliable. I see the twitter and IMDB were removed. That makes sense of course, but there is still a lot of reliable sources remaining on the page.

I do think that's a reliable source, but a single reliable source doesn't ensure that a subject is notable; WP:GNG seeks significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources, and even that only grants a presumption of notability, to be considered along with other guidelines such as those dealing with single events.

He is also the main subject on both of these sources. --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 07:14, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete. Gilbert is a non-notable cinematographer. After cutting out all the notability-irrelevant sources we are left with a New Zealand TV documentary and subsequent New Zealand newspaper coverage of his meeting with his birth mother in Russia. Frankly, TV makes these kind of documentaries all the time with fly-on-the-wall following of adopted children, homeless people, drug addicts, victims of scams, families on benefit etc etc etc. To my mind this kind of thing falls under WP:NOTNEWS. The subjects of this kind of coverage have no ongoing notabiity. The only difference in this case is that the subject has written a book and has some aptitude for self-publicity. SpinningSpark 09:19, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete. All three criteria for WP:BLP1E seem to be met, which suggests "we should generally avoid having an article" on such a subject. The claim of notability is based on Gilbert being the subject of a TV news piece and an article about his finding his birth parents. The amount and duration of coverage were limited, and fall short of establishing Gilbert as an ongoing notable individual. Another point brought up is he wrote an autobiography, but this was self-published, and while it may be interesting it is not indicative of notability. ––Agyle (talk) 21:32, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

• I really neither hesitate to express my view towards the wiki-rules nor bother how one contributes. If there is lack of description in the exact concept of the notability, I see there is no any medician yet to avoid "voting" that must be accepted.Justice007 (talk) 16:36, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

• Comment I have tried to say how notable he is. First of all he is not under a one event subject. He appeared on a TV show in NZ which had the highest ratings of the night on TV One. He also had a very notable and reliable newspaper article in the NZ Herald. - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=11232549 The biggest Newspaper in NZ. He also has a book in all major NZ Libraries and is also appearing on NZ TV again- http://alexgilbert.co.nz/catch-cook-world/ & http://www.freeviewnz.tv/tv-guide.aspx (look at Choice TV 12 - 6PM- 21 August) . Someone that actually lives in NZ should be commenting on this nomination to actually know how reliable the sources are. I still feel that he is notable. He also did a talk with Adoption families in Auckland, NZ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3pFneJF144 & http://www.icanz.gen.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=271&Itemid=236 (Look at the About page on this website). Surely all of these add up to Notability. Especially the NZ Herald link. Also the amount of coverage was not limited on his story. It was played on NZ TV on the highest played TV Channel in NZ- http://en.wikipedia.org/TV_One_(New_Zealand) . Here is the ratings for the show he was featured on - http://www.throng.co.nz/2014/02/tv-ratings-2-february-2014/ also the on Demand link - http://tvnz.co.nz/sunday/s2014-ep1-video-5821764 and also the extra page that is on the TVNZ website- http://tvnz.co.nz/sunday-news/alex-gilbert-my-journey-home-russia-5820767 .

Nichole Galicia

Nichole Galicia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

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

Something is just not right here. As explained in more detail on the talk page, from 27 July 2006 until 8 February 2013 this article existed under the title Nichole Robinson. It was facing proposed deletion until I found sources (notably, a feature in the Spanish newspaper La Voz de Galicia ) stating that Nichole Robinson is the same actress now known as Nichole Galicia, who had a role in Django Unchained. Based on all that information, on 8 February 2013 I moved the article to Nichole Galicia with a redirect from Nichole Robinson and added references to some of the recent articles about her.

Since then, a number of IP and SPA editors have come to the page asserting that Nichole Robinson and Nichole Galicia are not the same person. But if they are not, then we do not have sufficient reliable sources here to show notability, because all but one of the sources refer to work performed under both names. The notability of the subject is marginal in any case, but if the earlier "Nichole Robinson" roles are excluded, there really isn't much of a case to keep the article. Of the four cited sources, three of them mention roles played under both names: in addition to the piece from La Voz de Galicia, the Ebony article mentions her earlier roles in Huff and Love Don't Cost a Thing, and the Uptown article lists Love Don’t Cost A Thing and Dirty. There's no credit for Nichole Galicia in any of those projects, so removing the name Nichole Robinson from the article while allowing the credits to remain leaves us with a seriously inaccurate article.

There is a related discussion at the Help Desk. Misplaced Pages:Help desk#BLP inaccuracies. Both there and on the talk page, an editor identifying herself as Nichole Galicia has asked for deletion of this article due to inaccuracies.

The bottom line: if the cited sources aren't accurate, we are left with a failure of verifiability and the article should be deleted. Arxiloxos (talk) 20:00, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

That possibility has occurred to me more than once, but in that case I'm inclined to favor deletion under WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE, which allows deletion of an article where the relatively unknown subject requests it. I can anticipate discussion of whether her notability is sufficiently marginal to qualify under that clause. But deletion would be better, at least, than leaving the article in an inaccurate condition where credits are listed under a name for which no credit actually exists, or where substantial information from reliable sources is excluded without good cause. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:10, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

If she's not notable at all, then I'm OK with deletion on that count. The angle I was worried about was a process of delete this article, then up pops a new article that is notable and only covers the post Django career. - X201 (talk) 07:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Except that, as explained above, there is no "Nichole Galicia" in any of those other films and TV shows, so that information's accuracy is in doubt.--Arxiloxos (talk) 23:20, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't see how this is relevant to whether the article titled Nichole Galicia should be deleted. Most likely, she changed her name; perhaps she got married or divorced; what's the big deal? Here is one source saying she simply changed her name from Robinson to Galicia. Why this has anything to do with a deletion discussion is beyond me, since the actress/model is clearly notable. I don't see how it calls into question the accuracy of the entire article.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:26, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

As explained above, there has been a long string of editors (some of them identifying themselves as the subject) who have contested this, most recently at the Help Desk and previously at and and and and and and and and and . --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:55, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

A simple solution is let's leave out any mention of the word Robinson in this article. Then, Nichole Galicia, regardless of any past names or associations, regardless of any past confusion, is highly notable. Would that end the fuss? In addition, we can not know for sure whether anybody identifying themselves as one or more of these persons is the real person, unfortunately; rather, let's stick with the one name, and the references, and that, said the cat, is that.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 10:47, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

In addition, please consider deleting this redirect page from Nichole Robinson to Nichole Galicia. It is recommended that the closing admin delete the redirect page since this appears to be one more splinter causing this article inflammation.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:39, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

No, that is not a suitable solution; it would leave us with a blatantly inaccurate article. It is clear that no one named Nichole Galicia appeared in any the pre-2009 movies. If we leave out the references to Nichole Robinson while keeping the credits that belong to her, we leave the article with a serious problem. At the risk of repeating what I've been saying all along: Either Nichole Robinson is the same person as Nichole Galicia (as stated in the apparently reliable La Voz de Galicia article but disputed by various editors) or none of the articles that refer to older credits can be accepted as accurate. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:13, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Arxiloxos; that would then make it an article without coverage of the whole subject. The La Voz de Galicia article, and the NicoleRobinson.com website support the fact that Robinson and Galicia are the same person. There are only two possible correct outcomes to this, Delete the whole article as per the nom, or Keep the article with the Galicia and Robinson content intact. - X201 (talk) 09:36, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Alright, then, if it is decided that we must keep both names in the article, Robinson and Galicia, and there is a source saying they're the same person, then so be it; but it seems to me then this issue will not be resolved this way, with constant fuss about the two names when the current name -- Nichole Galicia -- is the most important one. In my view, this is like the Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:02, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

As it stands, however, the primary concern seems to be that it likely violates our policy on avoiding original research.

This "article" is in violation of NPOV policies, as the obvious intent is to attack the accuracy of a work of fiction -- why not list things the film got right? (See WP:COATRACK.) An actual article highlighting aspects the film maker portrayed accurately and those aspects that aren't accurate could be appropriate, but this page is problematic. The article also contains no prose, and comes off as original research -- it looks like someone opened a history textbook and merely pointed out what's "wrong" in the film.

Delete If the film was criticized by critics and/or historians for its faults, a summary of those highlighted by that criticism is appropriate, as we would do in the case of when film and books they are based off of differ, or in a more pertinent example, Armageddon (1998 film)#Scientific accuracy being a 2 para summary of everything wrong with the film. But have to agree that this is an incredible level of OR, particular when the film does not present itself as an historically accurate presentation like one would expect from a documentary. --MASEM (t) 23:36, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

• Keep or redirect because it can be appropriate to have sub-articles split off from the film article if the amount of real-world coverage is significant. For example, this is an entire book comparing film to history. This has a full chapter comparing film to history. This also has a full chapter. I do agree that the article currently has too much original research, and it should be purged. Following that, it should not be deleted. Depending on the valid content remaining, it can be kept or redirected to the "Historical accuracy" section at the film article. It's highly likely that much more than two paragraphs can be written about the film's historical accuracy. Erik (talk | contrib) 00:04, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
• Keep The subject of the article is notable as reliable sources have discussed it. Unsourced sections and original research can be removed but that's no excuse to delete the article. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:31, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  I'm replying to you, but this is more of a general comment. I'm not disputing that sources have covered the topic, or that it doesn't deserve mention at all. My argument is that there is no reason to have this information in a separate, coatrack article. As to fixing the issues with the article, they existed at the time of the last AFD -- in 2009. In the 5+ years since that closed, no one has attempted to fix anything in regards to sourcing or original research. Calidum 02:04, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  How does WP:COATRACK apply? In a nutshell, "Articles about one thing shouldn't mostly focus on another thing." If it has to do with the article title, "Historical accuracy" is just used here as neutral terminology, as it is done in section headings within film articles. It's a roof under which one can report on accurate and/or inaccurate elements of the film. The presentation is messy, to be sure, but I'm opposed to outright deletion because the page history is worth keeping around (and mentioning on the film article's talk page if we redirect this sub-article). While we have a lot of unsourced material here, it would be easy enough to search relevant terms and find out if a particular element (such as military organization) had been discussed by historians. For example, the S.P.Q.R. tattoo passage is unreferenced, but searching for the keywords, I found this. Erik (talk | contrib) 02:35, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  Coatrack is applicable because facts were cherry picked to present a one-sided view of things. (If you still think that it is not applicable, WP:POVFORK would apply, as a wise editor once noted.) And again, the concerns about original research date back at least five years, so forgive me for not believing a well-written, well-sourced article can be written. And even if it could be, I see no reason why a separate article is needed. Calidum 04:23, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  I agree that a separate article is not necessarily needed. Cleanup is definitely needed after so many years. What I am suggesting is to preserve the page history so if an editor were to ever work on Gladiator, it would be available for possible reincorporation, following the guidelines. I would say that a sub-article is appropriate if a section in a film article overwhelms the rest of the article. The list of accolades is one such example. Here, I think if the film got a Featured Article treatment, I think a "Historical accuracy" sub-article would be needed, based on the sources I highlighted above, and probably more out there. Would you endorse redirecting as opposed to deleting? Erik (talk | contrib) 13:08, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  I'd be okay with what you're suggesting as it essentially accomplishes the same thing I want. Calidum 16:04, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  TheLongTone and Masem, would redirecting be an acceptable outcome? We would link to the page history at the film article's talk page for any editors who decide to take on this endeavor. Erik (talk | contrib) 16:32, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

I'd be happy with a partial merge & redirect, it seems an entirely proper topic within the article on the film.TheLongTone (talk) 16:37, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

This article title is not searchable so while the redirect makes sense, it's not the best solution. But a history merge might be, as to keep the contributions from here. --MASEM (t) 16:45, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

• Keep -- The alternative would be to merge back to the article on the film, to which this is properly linked by a "main" template, but to add all this detail to the film article would unbalance it. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:59, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

  Peter, most of this detail has to be purged anyway. It is synthesis in the sense that history books stating detail about the period have nothing to do with the film. There are some sources that make the comparison, and these can be used. However, most of the article is not based on these sources, and the "Historical accuracy" section at the film article is considered sufficient. Erik (talk | contrib) 19:02, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

• Selective merge, no redirect to Gladiator (2000 film). This is worth a paragraph in the main article, despite the detail in the sources. Just like with battles where there are often numerous books, but we boil it down to the encyclopedic. --Bejnar (talk) 14:15, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• Keep what you can A lot is said about the pillars of Misplaced Pages but if there was a wider goal then that goal would probably have something to do with the promotion of accurate information. Furthermore, if there were a wider interpretation to ignore all rules then that interpretation would probably aim for the promotion of information in any context where it can be achieved. The film industry is a joke and, in my opinion, there is value in any influence that can encourage it to deliver its fantasies from a perspective a little closer to reality. In any borderline decision keep what you can. Gregkaye (talk) 23:00, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
• Delete - This is a bit of a coatrack, full of original research. Having a couple of sources that also talk about the inaccuracies doesn't fix the other policy violations present. It would be perfectly fine to have a paragraph talking about the inaccuracies in the film's article (that would be neutral), but the sole purpose of this article is to criticize the film, it is a singular POV. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 17:20, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

  WP:NPOV means "representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic". While films will never imitate history precisely, their prominence may lead to greater scrutiny. If sources show that most historians find Gladiator historically inaccurate, then it is not POV to cover their scrutiny under this specific topic. (As I mentioned earlier, "Historical accuracy" is being used as neutral terminology.) This particular space can be used for a well-written article. If the current text is too messy but the topic itself valid, we don't have to eradicate the space from memory. We can just redirect to the shorter "Historical accuracy" section at the film article. If someone wants to make the effort to have a sub-article using all the reliable sources commenting on the film, there is material in the page history that can be investigated for that purpose. Erik (talk | contrib) 17:34, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

  So is the article also covering the points where the film was historically accurate? No? The current article should be named Historical inaccuracy of Gladiator (2000 film), as it is not examining the accuracy as a whole, only the inaccuracies. Except we can't do that. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 15:51, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

  Like I said, "Historical accuracy" is being applied as neutral terminology, per WP:FILMHIST. It's like having a "Critical reception" sub-article that doesn't say in its article title what people thought of the film. (And such a sub-article can have mainly positive or negative reviews, depending on if the film was acclaimed or panned.) It's like saying "Comparison to history" when "comparison" implicitly means "comparing and contrasting" to history. Maybe a different article title could be used here, but the assumption shouldn't be that the film will be historically accurate or inaccurate, but that the film will be held up against history. If most historians find it historically inaccurate, then of course the content will be highly critical. There is two groupings of content here -- content that comes from reliable sources that assess the film, and content that comes from editors playing armchair historians in personally comparing film and history. We have too much of the latter, but I think that we have enough sources for the former that a credible sub-article could be had. As I mentioned above, a seemingly original-research bit (no reference) about a tattoo can be researched, and a source found to write about the tattoo in such a credible sub-article. I'm not arguing so much to keep, I feel that redirecting is the better solution here. I just oppose deletion because it amounts to saying, no, you can't have a sub-article like this ever because it "contradicts" the title because it looks at inaccurate items too much more than accurate items. I think it is a plausible outcome if an editor ever makes effort for this sub-topic. Erik (talk | contrib) 16:17, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

• Merge The article relies heavily on original research, as many of the claims do not have any citation. Overall, this strikes me as way too trivial to justify keeping as a standalone article. That being stated, there are several legitimate sources so a selective merge of sourced content into Gladiator (2000 film)#Historical accuracy is appropriate.

  • I see people misusing the OR rule all the time, but this time it is particularly egregious, when everything in this article is so clearly capable of being checked for accuracy. It is a historical accuracy article, for freak's sake.
  • "Misplaced Pages does not publish original thought: all material in Misplaced Pages must be attributable to a reliable, published source." Able to be attributed. Not "attributed". Please learn the difference. Anarchangel (talk) 03:54, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

  It's not being misused. WP:SYN is what applies here: "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources." This means if sources do not mention the film, they cannot be used in this article about the film. The sources that can be used are the ones that explicitly compare the film to history. Misplaced Pages reports; it does not perform original research. In addition, such sources unrelated to the film can be indiscriminate per WP:IINFO: "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources." Standard historical sources that are unconnected to the film cannot be contextual and thus have no encyclopedic value. Erik (talk | contrib) 04:32, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

"the sources are blogs, obscure magazines, and self-published sources": Can you clarify? I admit Original Plumbing is an obscure magazine, but are you saying the Daily Xtra is a blog and The Feminist Press is a vanity press?-- Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 16:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

I thought the Daily Xtra was some sort of blog type site, but it's actually a glossy magazine, which usually precludes it from WP:RS, and Original Plumbing doesn't seem very reliable either, as another glossy magazine with fake penises featured prominently on the cover (for transexual women-to-men who need prosthetics). Original Plumbing also has this article, in which the author did not capitalize his own name. The Feminist Press is some sort of publishing department at the "city university of New York", which seems vary vague as to whether it is in New York City or some other city like Buffalo. I like to point to examples of the content, however, when saying that something is not WP:RS. Such as this excerpt, which changes the text orientation on every page, and long run on sentences about feminism related topics. The writer also fails to capitalize the first word of the sentence, "I". Novato 123chess456 (talk) 17:29, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

CUNY is in New York City, as clearly stated on its Misplaced Pages page. But the "vagueness" of the location really shouldn't be relevant to whether a book published there is reliable. The text's orientation is not changed at all in the excerpt of King Kong Theory you linked. It's the alignment. At any rate that is a translation of a French book originally published by another publisher so I'm not sure if that's relevant here...

"Fake penises featured prominently on the cover" of Original Plumbing??? Not sure where you got that idea...-- Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 21:28, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

You have also failed to address the key point I've raised, that none of the sources cover the subject of the article in-depth, are not affiliated, and pass WP:RS, the feminist book contains ten pages written by the subject of this article, obviously it's an affiliated source, and doesn't cover Hill-Meyer in any other section of the book. The Daily Xtra (NSFW) is a glossy magazine, and the one article it has on Hill-Meyer only covers her pornographic aspect of her career. Original plumbing (actual porn in the link) contains an interview with Tobi Hill-Meyer about her porn life. According to WP:PORNBIO, the guidelines for notability as a pornographic actor are either

1. Winning multiple industry awards. The feminist porn awards are not "industry" awards, they are fringe to most of the pornography world
2. Starring in a revolutionary film in the pornography genre. There are a lot of other transexual porn performers before her.
3. Coverage in multiple, mainstream, sources. Obscure transexual magazines and feminist publishing companies do not count as mainstream media, and therefore, she doesn't seem to be very notable according to WP:PORNBIO.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 123chess456 (talk • contribs)

Comment on The Feminist Press source. Tobi Hill-Meyer is mentioned in the book 7 times. She did write a ten page chapter on transgender inclusion in pornography, yet that would probably qualify as an affiliate source. Novato 123chess456 (talk) 17:29, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Comment The Feminist Press is a very reputable scholarly press housed at the CUNY Graduate Center. Definitely a reputable source. Furthermore, it seems as if there is a page for the Feminist Porn Award, thus it seems to have passed muster elsewhere as a legitimate award.--Theredproject (talk) 02:46, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

• I have no opinion on whether or not this article should be retained or deleted, but I do see a pretty significant problem in including some of the information previously included in the article on the basis of machine translated versions of foreign sources. If the information is accurate and can be reliably sourced, please feel free to readd it, but I see a significant BLP issue in including such information based on machine translated articles. Kevin Gorman (talk) 01:50, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

I revamped the article before, and would not have added the transgender information if I felt it was not valid. But to be safe, we can exclude this information, but we must keep the references; please do not delete references particularly when an article is up for deletion.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 03:32, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Though I don't intend to bother deleting the references, it does make the article a little bit silly to stack eight references for the one initial claim. If you'd like to use references to argue that someone meets the GNG, it's perfectly fine just to include them in the AfD discussion - it doesn't harm the strength of the keep claim for the references not to be included in the article at the time a keep vote is made. What matters is the existence of references far more than whether or not they are included in the article during an AfD - and what is assessed by a closing admin will be the quality of the arguments in the AfD discussion far more than the current state of the article. Please do not try to include potentially contentious information based on a machine translated version of an article that was originally written in a language you do not speak on this article or elsewhere though; machine translations can and frequently do result in serious ambiguities or misunderstandings of the originally cited sources, and aren't appropriate to use in a BLP for any claim that is possibly remotely controversial or contentious. Best, Kevin Gorman (talk) 04:04, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining; I somewhat agree about not using google translate, yes there can be inaccuracies, but my sense was from revamping the article, examining sources, that the overall picture of a transgendered person was correct. About piling more references into the article as opposed to merely listing them in the AfD debate -- from my experience, my sense is that many closing admins do not slog through much of the AfD debate, but rather, go straight to the article, assess the references for themselves, and then decide. When this happens, it is highly important to have the references within the article itself. Imagine the article is like a person being sent to the guillotine, and the references are like letters from well-wishers, trying to persuade the judges to spare the person; shouldn't eight references be preferred to three? We can even try an experiment; if the closing admin actually reads this comment, could he or she mention the word Betelgeuse in the closing summary?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 10:35, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Evaluated this for closing, decided it wasn't ready, decided to participate instead. But Betelgeuse.  ;-) --j⚛e decker 04:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

• Keep. After checking news results for her name in Greek (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL), the coverage of Mina seems sufficient to presume notability. It would be good to get verification from someone who can read Greek, but sources like this and these seem legit enough. The claim of her being a trans woman also seems correct. I was editing from mobile earlier so I wasn't able to check thoroughly. -- Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 16:35, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

• Keep I too am dealing with automated translation, but as I dig through source after source after source, some of those appear to be significant coverage in reliable (for entertainment figures) sources providing reliable coverage. I think it's fair to exercise caution with the claims regarding the subject being trans, even I suspect the claim is almost certainly accurate based on what I've read through translation in Greek *and* French sources, and the implications of , and the direct transliteration of mention of her participation in a pride parade sourced at saying, in part, "τρανσέξουαλ ηθοποιός Μίνα Ορφανού", my own knowledge of the Greek alphabet makes τρανσέξουαλ being directly translated as transgender as well as being a clear cognate (tau = t, rho = r, etc.), and ηθοποιός meaning actress according to my dictionary, Wiktionary and Gtranslate. Finally, I would argue against "fixing" the overcitation--someone who can read Greek may be able to do a more reliable job of re-expanding the stub from provided sources, and there's not much text here for the overcitation to distract from. By rule, sure, we'd kill 'em, but as a practical matter, I think this is a fair case for leaving them be. --j⚛e decker 04:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

• Provisional Keep, until someone who can read Greek has a look at the sources and verifies that they say, broadly, what the machine translation says.

Article about a filmmaker and politician, with no strong evidence that he passes our notability rules for either endeavour. His "notability" as a filmmaker is sourced entirely to primary sources and coverage in local community weeklies, with no indication provided that his film actually secured any meaningful distribution or media coverage — and his "notability" as a politician is limited to his candidacy for a seat on Toronto City Council (candidates for office do not pass WP:POLITICIAN just for being candidates, and that's especially true when the office being sought is at the municipal level of government.) I'm willing to withdraw this if the sourcing can be beefed up to actually get him past either POLITICIAN or WP:CREATIVE, but if the Scarborough Mirror is the best you can do for sourcing then your subject has not cleared the bar.

• Keep.Undecided. Notable activist, often quoted in media, sufficient independent reliable sources meets the general notability guideline. See below.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:55, 11 June 2014 (UTC)--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Any activist worth the descriptor "activist" will get quoted a few times in newspaper articles, just because he's there to be quoted. He is not, however, the subject of those articles in which he gets quoted — which is what GNG requires. And your sourcing additions still relied primarily on minor neighbourhood weeklies, like the York Guardian and the Scarborough Mirror and the Toronto Observer, which don't surpass our reliable source rules. (Community weeklies might be acceptable for some confirmation of facts after enough other sources had been added to get the person over the notability hump, but they can't confer notability on a person by themselves as they're not broadly distributed enough.) Bearcat (talk) 16:07, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

The Toronto Sun is a major big-city Canadian daily so I don't see how it can be identified as a local paper; it has a readership of 143,475 daily 200,644 Sunday, weekly circulation was 956,482 in 2011. Further, Toronto is Canada's largest city with population close to 3 million. So, when they cover him here and here, the editors feel he is notable. I have not heard of a Misplaced Pages guideline which rules out newspapers such as the Scarborough Mirror; I used to write for a local paper in New Jersey and I had to check and double-check my facts like all reporters, and I could be held accountable if my reporting had been inaccurate; is there anything in the Scarborough Mirror which is incorrect or untrue? Further, if the subject was only an activist, or only a filmmaker, I'd agree there might be notability issues; but the subject is multidimensional, being a union leader, filmmaker, public speaker, candidate for public office; the net effect—or gestalt if you will—is a changemaker. Bocking is about his causes (workers' rights, transportation, etc) rather than himself, and reporters reflect this in their coverage.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:22, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

I didn't say the Toronto Sun was an inherently invalid source — it is, however, a problematic one, as it's a Fleet Street-style tabloid newspaper that frequently inserts ideologically biased editorial commentary directly into its news coverage, and thus presents WP:NPOV problems. But the overarching problem with the Toronto Sun articles is, as I noted above, that Bocking is not the subject of the articles in question — his name appears in a couple of their articles giving a brief quote about something else, but that is not the same thing as substantive coverage in which he is the subject.

And yes, Misplaced Pages does deprecate low-circulation community weeklies as prima facie evidence of notability. They're not invalid for additional verification of facts after basic notability has been covered off by stronger sources, but they cannot confer notability if they are the article's main or only sources — because by their very nature, they cover many more things of exclusively local interest (church bake sales, purely local businesses, etc.) that don't belong in an encyclopedia. They're not discounted because they're somehow less trustworthy than major dailies — they're discounted because their coverage focus is too localized to adequately prove that a topic belongs in an encyclopedia with an international audience.
