| Leslie Daigle – AfD discussion closed as no consensus |
|---|
|
The nominator states that this woman is a non-notable councilor that does not meet POLITICIAN and this is half true, but there is a wide array of reliable sources showing this person does however easily meet the GNG as there are numerous news articles about her that cover her in depth beyond those that give cursory election coverage. The sources don't just mention her in passing, just most of the sources currently in the article but ones that mention her and her policies and projects in depth are clearly available. Also whether or not a controversy she was involved in was minor or not there was enough attention given to the matter to merit press of the subject, minorness is therefore speculative and irrelevant.LuciferWildCat (talk) 00:18, 30 April 2012 (UTC) |
| I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! – The article has been improved and additional sources have been added and incorporated into it |

Declined the proposal for deletion, the rationale of which was worded as, "Not notable without substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. None provided, none found." I've added two sources, but the article would definitely benefit from more, as well as some clean-up. Northamerica1000(talk) 22:44, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

| Black Horse Lake – Would benefit from more sources |
|---|
|
Declined the proposal for deletion, the rationale of which was worded as, "Unsourced article created by indef blocked user, no evidence this feature ever existed as such". I have added a source and external links that verify the lake's existence and cleaned up the article some. The article could use more sources and copy editing.

| Wholesale City – Nomination for rescue consideration withdrawn |
|---|
|
The article was created on 27 April 2012 (UTC) and proposed for deletion on the same day (link to revision history). I added two sources, from which I based declining the prod. The article would benefit from more sourcing, the addition of more inline citations and copy editing to reduce promotional tone. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:05, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Anyone own the Guinness book of world records, or something else considered notable? If so, please look up if the most perfect/symmetrical/beautiful face is listed in there. Dream Focus 20:29, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

The topic seems quite apposite. Warden (talk) 09:17, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

This seems to be a historicaly relevant automaton, and there seems to be some sources (in Turkish). Diego (talk) 15:14, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

If 70,000 people attend a festival, it gets sponsored by a major beer company, and it has a horde of notable musicians that go there, then surely it must be notable. Help finding sources to prove this please. Dream Focus 00:22, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

A record company with that many notable bands signed to it, surely has to be notable. Dream Focus 00:22, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

The topic is whimsical but some of us like that. The article is newly created - it's just a few hours old - and what's especially interesting is that it was created using a new edit tool called ProveIt which helps editors add citations to articles. This may revolutionise our work so do please take a look at the tool even if you're not interested in the topic. Warden (talk) 18:11, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Article about the setting of a very notable novel franchise; I've got to believe there are sources out there somewhere. BOZ (talk) 11:38, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

| John Márquez – AfD discussion closed as no consensus |

Kept in first deletion discussion now renominated, there are a lot more sources if you do a search of the San Francisco Chronicle at sfgate.com (archive search for "John Marquez") like more at Berkeley Daily Planet, many sources are paywalled as well.LuciferWildCat (talk) 15:15, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

| Loyola University Chicago School of Business Administration – The article has been improved |
|---|
|
A new article, perhaps by a student of Loyola University Chicago School of Business Administration is nominated for speedy deletion. The article is very well done, and it would be a shame to lose it over an WP:COI issue. I am going to object to the speedy deletion, but perhaps an AfD will follow. --DThomsen8 (talk) 11:04, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

The individual appears to just meet WP:BASIC. Reliable sources (RS) comprised of significant coverage have been somewhat difficult to find. As of this post, sources in the article that appear to meet Wikipedia's standards for source reliability and demonstrating topic notability are:
Since this project's participants are known for being fruitful RS searchers, posting this here in hopes that more may be found and added to the article to better-qualify the topic's notability. Northamerica1000(talk) 03:48, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

| Synapse (magazine) – The article has been improved |
|---|
|
Electronic music magazine with high production values in the late 70's. It was prodded by deletion. I've found some sources commenting on it being archived online, but it would be good to find some direct coverage. How do you find reliable sources that would have covered a pop culture mag from way before the WWW? Diego (talk) 12:07, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Hard to find mention of a bestselling writer without the news results being flooded with reviews of their bestselling book or future movie based on it. Anyway, if anyone feels like searching for one, that'd be great. Dream Focus 23:04, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Claims to be on the National Register of Historic Places, but isn't showing up in a search on the NRHP's site. I'd be interested to see if anyone else can find sources on this landmark. ‑Scottywong| converse _ 20:45, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
I've received a text (4.12.12 8:40 PM - for those too young to remember, "text" means a book ;-) ) that may be of considerable benefit to this discussion. It's "The Historic Architecture of Rutland County; Vermont State Register of Historic Places" published by the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, ISBN 0-9619912-0-8 wherein it states that "(t)he activity that is the subject of this publication has been financed in part by Federal funds from the National Park Service, Department of the Interior." The Fair Haven section is covered in pages 121-140. Pgs. 121-127 covers the history of the town and residents. Pgs. 128 & 129 are of maps, Town of Fair Haven and Fair Haven Village, respectively. Pgs. 130-132 describe 105 "Sites Listed in the State Register of Historic Places" in the Town proper. Starting on page 133 is a section about the Fair Haven Green Historic District (map on page 134), with a listing that commences on page 134 of the buildings that comprise the Fair Haven Green Historic District. The building in question is number A33 (page 135), described as "House, 1867, Architect/builder A.C. Hobson. French Second Empire style, stone, Mansard roof, 2 1/2 stories. Features: belvedere, marble, porte cohere, hood moldings, transom, quoins, enriched cornice, enriched frieze, Italianate porch." Also listed on the property are two out buildings: A33a Pump House c. 1885, and A33b Carriage Barn c. 1875. No building in the district is singled out as a separate landmark, while the Fair Haven Green Historic District is labeled as "Listed in the National Register of Historic Places" (pg. 134).

Similar articles for which it seems easy to find sources. These topics may have nostalgic interest for US TV viewers. Warden (talk) 17:36, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

| Aboleth – Request for assistance in finding sources |
|---|
|
OK, I'll admit I went about this the wrong way. I sought out editors who I felt would be interested in commenting on the AFD, and I have been accused of canvassing as a result, and perhaps rightly so. I do think some good points were brought up by those who had commented in favor of keeping, and I think that those who responded subsequently have added more good points. Naturally, some people are very dismissive of anything that is outside of their own philosophies, and are up in arms that I went about things the wrong way and painting me as the worst kind of villain. I don't even want to comment there, because that particular lion's den doesn't look very inviting to me. So, although I don't want any more drama but I will probably still be judged harshly for this, I am coming here to do the right thing and to request for people to help look for more and better sourcing. I think some good editors have found at least minimal sourcing to make this article worth keeping, and I'm sure some of the dilligent editors who observe this list can do even better. Thank you for your time. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 15:22, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

| Forum game – AfD discussion closed as delete |
|---|

Finding sources is not easy because the keywords tend to lead you off in other directions. But AFD is something of a forum game itself and so there's an entertaining self-referential quality to this topic which may be illuminating. Warden (talk) 08:06, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

| Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity – AfD discussion closed as redirect to Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons) |

Some sources have been identified but no-one seems to know what they contain. The topic might be expanded in interesting directions from ancient myth such as Tiresias to the latest MMORPG such as WoW. Warden (talk) 07:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC) |

A Swedish chef currently tagged for deletion. From what is written in the article, he has at least some sense of a media presence, with TV appearances and maybe his own show. I don't read Swedish though, nor am I a good judge of Swedish sources, so I can't tell if the sources I can find are reliable and independent.--Yaksar (let's chat) 19:57, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

| Patrick Ruffini – AfD discussion closed as Keep, nomination withdrawn |

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Ruffini. Classic rescue case, I think. US GOP political operative, seems to be more notable that I realized the more I look, but article needs work to show that.--Milowent • hasspoken 15:44, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

This image is under discussion. It is used on the article Shooting of Trayvon Martin (and subject's bio). I need someone to review whether the article is appropriate on WP and if so, help explain to would deleters why this needs to be on WP and how best to explain our legal right to include it. --HectorMoffet (talk) |
| Straight pride – AfD discussion closed as no consensus. |
|---|
|
See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Straight_pride_(3rd_nomination). The current article consist mainly of a list of supremacist and fundamentalist groups taking the streets to protest LGBT movements. A great opportunity for the ARS to shine. The current article is a shameful collage of unrelated links thrown together, but there is enough material out there to rewrite it as a scholarly definition and turn the mess into a start-class encyclopedic treatment. Is the ARS still up to the task it prides itself to defend? Diego (talk) 06:31, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

| Deford, Michigan – AfD discussion closed as kept, early closure |
|---|
|
See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deford, Michigan. There's no doubt this populated place article will be kept, but it could use some further improvement, such as a map showing its location in the county (see some of the articles for other communities in the county which have a nifty map). As to the AfD discussion, there seems to be some argument that the populated place should be merged with the surrounding township article, but in my experience we generally don't do that if there is sourcing specific to the community itself, which there is here.--Milowent • hasspoken 14:31, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
