I PRODed this a few months ago and it was deleted, but now that it's been recreated I'm hoping we can get a final decision at AfD. As some may remember, a lot of these "all-time tables" were deleted six months ago and I stand by the rationale I used then: It is arguably a violation of WP:NOTSTATS, but more importantly, I can't see any evidence that it is notable. In addition, this article is unreferenced. Jenks24 (talk) 08:27, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- Also, it has a duplicate article, Albanian Superliga Ranking. If the result is delete, they should both be deleted; if kept, one should be redirected to the other. Jenks24 (talk) 08:29, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

There's a complete lack of reliable sources about this on the internet and the article itself only has two sources, both of which are brief blurbs about the trailer. I've tried to find sources but other than a small flurry of activity centering around the movie's trailer, there's no concrete release date and no other information about the movie. Article was DE-PRODed with the claim that once the movie comes out, it'll be big, which is WP:CRYSTALBALL. Nominating for deletion because while I do think the movie will be big once it comes out, there's no release date and the film does not pass WP:NFF in the here and now.

[edit] Inspector General Gerald Walpin firing controversy

Wikipedia is not the place for partisan advocacy; there isn't even a Wikipedia article about Gerald Walpin (not that there should be); Walpin's wrongful-termination lawsuit was dismissed; this dismissal is uncontroversial except among a few notably partisan sources. —Anomalocaris (talk) 07:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Keep The subject is not "partisan." On the contrary, the article cites multiple examples of Democrats criticizing Obama on this issue.
Furthermore, the Associated Press, The Washington Post, Politico, and thehill.com are all cited in the article, and none of them are "partisan."
The reliable sources report the facts. The article is not POV. Instead, the article cites reliably sourced facts. All of the information in the article is true and reliably sourced. The article meets all of wikipedia's policies.
In order to debunk the nominator's claim that the article is "partisan," I would like to quote these two paragraphs from the article:
- On June 16, 2009, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri), said the president failed to follow a law that she had sponsored, which requires that the President give Congress 30 days advance notice of an inspector general's firing, along with the cause for the firing. McCaskill stated, "Loss of confidence is not a sufficient reason." She also stated, "I'm hopeful the White House will provide a more substantive rationale, in writing, as quickly as possible." That same day, a White House lawyer said that Walpin was fired because he was "unduly disruptive" and engaged in "trouble and inappropriate conduct."[3]
- On June 23, 2009, a bipartisan group of 145 current and former public officials, attorneys, and legal scholars signed a letter that was sent to the White House, which defended Walpin, said the criticisms of him were not true, and said that his firing was politically motivated. Signers of the letter included Michael Mukasey (former Attorney General), Bernard Nussbaum (President Clinton’s former counsel), former U.S. Attorneys Otto Obermaier, John Martin, Zachary Carter, and Andrew Maloney, and six former and current presidents of the Federal Bar Council.[5] The letter can be read here.
Therefore, the article is not "partisan" at all.
Since this debunks the entire reason for the nomination, I propose a speedy keep, and that this debate discussion be ended.

- I'm not sure. If you're going for a narrow scope, maybe Geocentric versus heliocentric ordering of planets? For something more ambitious, possibly Ordering of solar system planets, to include mass, density and other properties? The first suggestion seems a bit on the trivial side to me, and I'm not confident that this type of ordering really meshes well with physical properties in the second case.

It is almost entirely unsourced and, while I am reasonably certain that everything in the article is substantially true, I have not (at least yet) been able to verify most of it from independent reliable sources. However, the one source in the References section of the article is definitely reliable, even though it's probably too slight to establish notability by itself - it's the subject's entry in the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, and the very fact that it exists suggests to me that the subject is likely to be notable (the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction contains far fewer Doctor Who-related articles than does Wikipedia). The subject is also verifiably one of the leading scriptwriters for The Beano.[1] Under the circumstances, I would think it advisable to give an extra week to see if anyone on Wikiproject Comics or Wikiproject Doctor Who (neither of which seem to have been informed of this discussion) can do better on identifying reliable sources than I have.

No apparent notability for this nature park, and a search throws up a lot of directory listings rather than significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. There is already an article for the Horeke basalts that are the basis for the park. Stephen 23:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep. My search turns up multiple examples of coverage in reliable sources, suggesting this is a legitimately notable tourist attraction. For example "Northland boulders draw tourists" in TVNZ (2007); "Kaikohe plans tourism future" in Stuff.co.nz (2008); "Rocking round the north" in New Zealand Herald (2009); "Hokianga: Hidden secrets" in New Zealand Herald (2011), and multiple coverage in significant travel guides.[2]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:49, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

- Complete mess. This article and Horeke basalts are about very closely related things and there appear to be two WP:COI editors (possibly using socks or anon edits) to further their different business goals.
I actually believe that these are probably notable but I'm going to have to !vote merge to Horeke basalts, because of the COI issues. If there are genuine WP:RS, let them accumulate there. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:44, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep. Wairere Boulders is similar to a National Park, but on private property. Hence it should have a separate listing like a New_Zealand_national_park. Unfortunately they cannot be listed on the page with NZ National Parks. WP has listed many tourism businesses for instance Waimangu Volcanic Valley, Waitomo Caves, Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World, R. Tucker Thompson. Wairere Boulders is as important as these well established Tourism Operators but much younger. They should not be vindicated. The Horeke basalts have a length of about 30 km and to merge the two sites will confuse issues.

- Keep, the business does appear to have significant coverage in national sources, such as NZ Herald, the Dominion, TVNZ and North & South. It also has coverage in local sources, naturally. Most of this coverage has only just been added to the article.-gadfium 03:55, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- Delete, it appears that all the content written about this business is from the owner and is heavily biased. None of it has supporting references (other than other articles written by the owner). It seems to be a complete mess full of unreliable content. Also the original article Horeke Basalts already covers the area in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher3895 (talk • contribs) 06:37, 1 March 2012 (UTC) — Christopher3895 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Comment: I've withdrawn my vote, but stand by my comment that this is a complete mess. There are three apparently completely different websites, none of which list a business name, charity name or personal name on their contact pages (a, b and c). The New Zealand charities and New Zealand companies registers contain no obvious mention of these activities by obvious names (including the personal names mentioned by some of the actors here). Stuartyeates (talk) 08:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- I understand your confusion. Wairere Adventure Park appears to be a separate business located on the same road as Wairere Boulders, offering a range of tourist services but not focussing primarily on the basalts. The .com site offers information about the basalts but doesn't seem to be selling anything; however there seems to be a rivalry with the Wairere Boulders company. The .co.nz site belongs to the company we're discussing here.-gadfium 09:06, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

This is a clear and obvious WP:POVFORK from Sectarianism in the 2011–2012 Syrian uprising. I suspect the user who originally created the page, User:Grimso5, may be a sock of User:ChronicalUsual, who was blocked for disruptive editing on Syria content before, and I am all but certain that the user who recreated this page after its content was moved to the "Sectarianism" page, User:FavorLaw, is a sock of ChronicalUsual. The article name is blatantly POV; all of this content is already either included in the "Sectarianism" article or it could easily be incorporated there. Both editors' purpose in creating and then recreating this page (whether they are separate individuals or not) appears to be to promote an anti-Syrian opposition POV. I am not opposed to include verifiable information no matter who it looks bad for, but this doesn't need to be a separate page, it was already moved to a less POV title, and this is a clear case of POV forking, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia.

Keep 1) You are paranoid with your baseless accusations. 2) This is not a fork from the sectarianism page as the sectarianism page has been created AFTER the page you are nominating for deletion. This is a massive logic failure from your part 3) If anything it is the Sectarianism page which is the fork created by user:Sopher99 who already tried to merge , redirect and speedy delete the nominated page because he did not like the content. You are following his path --FavorLaw (talk) 23:42, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
- The content is all on the Sectarianism page. That wasn't a fork, it was a move to a less POV title. This is a fork. -Kudzu1 (talk) 00:09, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

- It was a fork. A fork of the Syrian Uprising page to begin. Sopher99 created a new page, took all the content from a section of the Syrian Uprising page and made a redirect for the nominated page, erasing all the content of the page. I did not know how to revert such a move, which was done without any discussion so copying back has messed up the chronology. But it went like that. After that, Sopher99 has tried to merge and speedy delete the page he had already tried to erase with its content. Then someone else copied the content of the nominated page and pasted it directly on the Sectarianism page, without discussion too. --FavorLaw (talk) 00:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Keep - Because the Alawite minority holds power in Syria, Alawites form a special and obvious target for negative sentiment, violence and lynching by those opposed to the current government.

- And what effort have you put in to determining whether this stub is incapable of expansion? Per deletion policy, we only delete stubs if they cannot be expanded, not simply because they haven't yet been. When you see a stub, try to expand it as your first resort. At AFD, you must be able to demonstrate that you've tried to find sources for expansion and failed. It's fairly clear from even a minimal and cursory attempt to find out what the literature on portfolio investments is that your first thought has been to come to AFD with no attempt to actually write the encyclopaedia first. If the article doesn't explain things, then fix it so that it does in accordance with the copious literature on the subject. You're meant to be a Wikipedia writer. So write! Don't be yourself a part of the no-editors-have-done-anything problem.

- You are the one who wants article written right now, to your arbitrary schedule, not us. You are the one who claims to write in the area of legal topics. You are the editor who is the problem. Here you are still doing nothing whilst — ironically — complaining that nothing has been done. And this in the face of people who have even put in the grunt work and handed sources to you on a platter, when you did nothing at all to find sources, even when you clearly knew what the topic was and what could be written. {{sofixit}} applies. Stop being part of the problem. You are being exactly the very makes-zero-effort timewaster, who does nothing but tag articles for deletion rather than write, that you are purporting to decry. Buck your ideas up. You're meant to be a writer. Wikipedia needs writers. What it doesn't need are people who do what you are doing: who see things that they know about, make zero effort to write or even research the subject, and nominate valid stubs for deletion on the grounds that they themselves have made zero effort. Wikipedia doesn't need people who make zero effort themselves but who nonetheless try to bully other volunteers into doing everything for them according to an arbitrary schedule that they've plucked from thin air.

The subject fails both the general notability guideline and the specific guideline for entertainers. She was involved in one notable event: becoming runner up in the second series of the BBC1 show Strictly Dance Fever. This is adequately covered in the Strictly Dance Fever article. Google books and Google news archive searches yield nothing relevant. There are non-independent sources. Dancerspro.com has a page about her that includes a list of events she has taken part in, frequently as a troupe member or assistant choreographer. Their notability appears dubious. Swingxtreme also has a page about her, but it is not independent as she works for this company. Stfg (talk) 20:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I am the author, and I will find some additional external references tonight. Gofigure41 03:43, 28 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gofigure41 (talk • contribs)
Okay, I have added beaucoup additional external links to peer-reviewed scientific publications and editorials. I have also added numerous recent announcements for the election of international scientists to the board including doctors from Columbia University, Boston University, India and Italy. There are many more that I will keep adding. Does this now qualify to get the AfD removed? I will work next to get links to the popular press stories as well, but the internal scientific links alone seem to me to make this work more than sufficiently notable to avoid deletion.

Hi, Stefan:
I may have miscategorized this picture, as I didn't know how to load it correctly, and to categorize it. The picture is of someone who is alive, but was sent to me by the production company, Ay Yapim, for which Engin Akyurek works. The picture was to be uploaded into the Wiki file, "Engin Akyurek" as it is missing an image. I looked at the other categorizations for images, and thought this would be the best choice; if I should categorize it in another way, please let me know, and I will do my best to reload it. Alternatively, if I can have an administrator load it correctly, that would be fantastic. The picture was sent to me directly by the production company, with the understanding that it be used in Wikipedia.
Thank you.

To institute a policy which prohibits awards using trademarks would be draconian. Some awards associated with trademarks found here [17] include: Steiner Beer, NASCAR, Wuerzburger Hofbraue, Ballantine's Finest whiskey, Guinness, Mobil oil.

- Template:2011 Southeastern Conference football navbox (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|delete) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
I am nominating this navbox, along with all similar yearly football conference articles (will add the full list shortly) as I do not believe it serves as a useful tool for navigation. Currently this type of navbox is used on two different types of articles: individual team season articles and bowl game articles.
- For individual team season articles, the template is redundant to links contained within the body of the articles. Virtually every one of these articles will have a standings table similar to the one in 2011 Southeastern Conference football season that links to every single conference team season article. With that in place there is nothing gained by placing the same links in a navbox at the bottom of the page.
- For bowl game articles, the navbox is redundant to the bowl game season navboxes, which list every bowl game placed by every team in a single season. Additionally, very few users navigate through bowl game articles by conference per year. By team or by individual game is much more common; that is why we have those navboxes. –Grondemar 01:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

- Delete all I agree. These are navbox overkill. Jweiss11 (talk) 02:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- Delete all Way too specific for navbox. They do not aid the reader is navigating through anything--GrapedApe (talk) 06:01, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- Keep I don't understand the advertising implications. E.g., The first one I looked at was Template:2012 Big Ten Conference football navbox. I see no logo or promotion. Also, there is a third type of article where this template is useful: Conference Championship games.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:56, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Laura Massey
Laura Massey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Massey has had three deletion reviews all of which have resulted in her page being kept deleted. I have two other sources that were not brought up in the last deletion review for some reason that I would like you to consider.
- "Geek of the Week: Laura Massey, Xbox software engineer" http://www.geekwire.com/2011/geek-week-laura-massey-xbox-software-engineer
- "An Interview With Nerd Trivia Creator Laura Massey" http://bnbgaming.com/2011/05/17/an-interview-with-nerd-trivia-creator-laura-massey
I'm not exactly sure what is needed to get her page back, but she is a growing public figure at Microsoft and is now a Project Manager leading "Xbox Incubation". Google and Bing results for her have increased to 1,270,000 and 11,200,000 respectively. She has created her own game named NerdTrivia http://nerdtrivia.net/ which has thousands (7,074) players and has raised press coverage in the above links.
I would also like to add to this discussion per her former deletion reviews links which by themselves were too weak to overcome the AFD, but perhaps if reviewed together might make for a stronger case for her to meet the WP:N criteria.

She seems to have done some very notable things in public in and out of her work at Microsoft. Bawitdaba1337 (talk) 03:34, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- Endorse again. Last DRV was just a month ago, and the supposed "new" evidence is just more of the same, blogs and irrelevant stuff like Google hits... while we're on that topic, while it's true Laura Massey without quotes gets plenty of hits, *with* quotes it has just 589 unique hits, and most of those are unrelated folks who just happen to share that fairly common name. On that last page, for example, I see a doctor, a cyclist, and a bookseller, among others. For comparison's sake, my name gets 501 unique results, and I'm not famous at all.
