Result of its deletion and the Discussion closed by non-admin early as keep, despite a justifiable reasoning that the template for APEC foreign ministers are not a CRUFT and therefore legitimate. Additionally, the users does not appear to have the relevant understanding on how important the foreign ministers contribute in the APEC which they have a significant coverage (through attendance of ministerial meetings).

Its the most popular ticketing platform in India. Its alexa rank is 770 (globally) & 49 (India). Per month it books more than 10 million tickets. It serves 4 countries globally. I believe it is a clear candidate to have its article on wikipedia. I was searching for information about it and couldn't find a wikipedia page for it, so I want to create this article. It was previously deleted because it was found to be written in promotional way. I refrain myself from writing promotional things on Wikipedia. My yesterdays attempt to clear a neutral unbiased article was overridden by a deletion by an admin. As per his/her answer to my query about deletion he mentioned that he deleted it "because it was deleted first via an AfD discussion". So I am raising a request here. Kindly have a look at the stub that I had written yesterday. It was not a promotional article in any way. I invite any one to question the quality of the article I wrote yesterday I will be most willing to modify it or add any information which it is lagging. Lets create a informative article this subject deserves together. --Sumitsinha lko (talk) 06:33, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

New information since the deletion has come to light, diminishing the claim that there is no indication of importance as per A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. The subject of the wikipedia article has taken his performance from electronic media to the theatre stage[1]. This should serve as a credible claim of significance. Further, original deleter is no longer an active wikipedia user and unable to review decision. 203.6.176.27 (talk) 00:26, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Discussion closed by non-admin early as keep, despite a clear consensus not being reached and none of the other requirements for non-admin early closure being met that I can see. Additionally, closing user is the article creator and does not appear to have the relevant understanding or experience recommended for closing debates. -- Whats new?(talk) 05:47, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

I was unable to resolve this through discussion with the closing administrator. First of all, the venue is redirects for discussion, not redirects for deletion. The nominator was neutral on deletion, seeking a potential retarget. Two other contributors made comments, while another suggested retargeting. One contributor suggested deletion. The closer stated they found the deletion argument compelling, while I didn't. WP:XY would be more applicable if the redirect was, e.g., "Wikipedia:Content creation and deletion". Furthermore, it is guidance for the mainspace, project space shortcuts often point to one place when they could equally point to others (hatnotes are sometimes used extensively). I also disagree with the stance of the closer that there wasn't a reasonable chance for a better target to emerge from further discussion. I believe the discussion could have reasonably been closed as no consensus or relisted, but not as delete. Therefore, I suggest an overturn and relist.— Godsy (TALKCONT) 23:05, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Not sure what to make of this deletion. The warning box at WP:UBX/POLITICS may address this, but that wasn't invoked. Rather, WP:G10 was invoked. G10 addresses attacking or harassing a person. Uncle Sam is not a person, nor is the U.S. government. Additionally, someone living in Canada should at least be aware that those of us living in the United States cherish the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as a vital link to our claim as a free country. There's a big difference between using the public domain status of works of the U.S. government to fill up content and creating a work which appears to smell of reflecting the U.S. government's agenda by suppressing dissenting voices.

(Apologies that this is so long - I wanted to be thorough in explaining my views) Tagging editors involved with the original AfD: (AfD Nominator - John from Idegon), Piotrus, CoffeeWithMarkets, SwisterTwister, Bearian, Onel5969, Spirit of Eagle I'm not entirely sure that this is the proper forum for this discussion, as I don't have any issues with how the closing administrator handled things, and the article was redirected, rather than deleted. But I've been told by those involved with the AfD that this is where they'd like to be having the discussion, rather than on the article's talk page. So I'm opening it here; I hope that's okay. The article was nominated for deletion all the way back in September of last year. I was unaware of the AfD at the time, and so I didn't participate. A clear consensus was formed in favor of redirecting. The administrator, Samwalton9, properly closed the AfD as a redirect. I have no problem with that. Rather, my problem is that those who voted in the AfD either failed to discover or neglected to mention several high-quality, independent sources that have been published on the article's subject. During the AfD, votes in favor of deletion or redirection stated, incorrectly, that Brackensick had yet to receive any considerable news coverage, separate from his appearance on the eleventh season of American Idol (a competition in which Brackensick placed eighth). At the time of the AfD though, Brackensick had already been signed to a minor label and released a single, titled "Her Crazy". This single has been the primary focus of articles published by Yahoo! [2], The York Dispatch [3] [4], and The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. [5] In the time since Brackensick first appeared on American Idol, he has also been profiled by SFGate [6], MidWeek, [7] and Campbelltown MacArthur Advertiser. [8] These profiles appeared between one and three years after Brackensick's initial involvement with Idol. My understanding is that a musical artist really only needs to meet the general notability guidelines, as detailed at WP:Notability, in order to have an article on Wikipedia. As such, it's my opinion that all ranking contestants (by which I mean the top 12 or so) to appear on any season of American Idol should have their own articles, purely on the basis that all ranking contestants to have appeared on the show have received significant coverage from professional, third-party publications. I understand however, and respect, that many other editors disagree with me on this matter. There are definitely some who feel that only those contestants who have gone on to have music careers should have their own articles. To my knowledge, no policy or guideline has ever been written to support either of these opinions. So for the time being, it's more or less up to personal interpretation. Although I personally feel that it would be appropriate, and keeping with the policies outlined in WP:Notability, to have an article on someone like, say, CJ Harris, (who placed sixth in the thirteenth season of the show and has never released music professionally), I won't contest the deletion discussion that was held on his article awhile back, because I realize that it would simply come down to two different interpretations of what does or doesn't constitute notability. I'm not interested in arguing with anyone over purely subjective matters. In the case of DeAndre Brackensick however, he has released music professionally, and he's received considerable news coverage for doing so. One of the editors with whom I've already discussed this matter has suggested that even with these sources, Brackensick should still not be considered notable, supposedly because he fails to meet every one of the criteria listed at WP:BAND. This strikes me as a misinterpretation of what WP:BAND is intended for though. To quote that guideline directly, musical artists "may be notable if they meet at least one" of the listed criteria - at least one. Criteria #9 specifically seems to be mentioned from time-to-time by editors arguing against the notability of reality show contestants - this criteria says that musical artists may be notable if they have "won first, second or third place in a major music competition". Although Brackensick only placed eighth, the fact that he fails to meet this criteria shouldn't be used as an argument against his notability. Many notable artists would fail to meet this criteria, because many notable artists have never even participated in a "major music competition". That said, Brackensick does meet criteria #1, #12, and probably #4 as well. And again, in order to meet the standards of WP:BAND, he only needs to meet "at least one" of these. None of the above-mentioned sources were included in Brackensick's article at the time of the AfD. All of them had already been published though. It's unclear to me why they escaped the attention of the participating editors. I would hope that everyone who voted did at least a cursory search beforehand, but I realize that sometimes, for whatever reason, this doesn't happen. I also realize that sometimes certain articles just don't show up in search results. I'm not upset with anyone who participated in the AfD discussion, but I do feel that they made the wrong call.

Comment. When did we reach the point that AFD-spurred redirects must go to DRV even if not substantially identical to the original article? If the original article had been flat-out deleted, the added material here would be significant enough to prevent speedy deletion. Why is a less stringent outcome more rigorously enforced? What is the policy basis for this anomalous practice? The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006. (talk) 19:14, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
Comment: I've found even more sources:
So to recap - in addition to the dozens-upon-dozens of reliable sources providing significant coverage about Brackensick within the context of his initial American Idol appearance and his involvement with the international American Idol tour, we have sources discussing how Brackensick signed (at least temporarily) to a professional music label and released a single through that label, continues to perform professionally - not only in Hawaii, where he's currently attending community college, but also throughout the continental US, New Zealand, and Australia - has been featured in at least one significant music festival, has performed alongside two Grammy-nominated artists in at least one of his concerts, and has collaborated with another somewhat notable artist on multiple singles. All of these articles mention Brackensick's involvement with American Idol, which is to be expected, as that's undeniably a significant part of his bio. And some of the articles are clearly interested in Brackensick, primarily due to his reality show fame. But several other articles are clearly discussing Brackensick within a context that is primarily separate from Idol. As stated in my response to SmokeyJoe above, I'm happy to carry on this conversation somewhere else, if it's determined that Deletion Review isn't the proper place for it. But I would be curious to hear what the editors who had been involved with the AfD think about these newly discovered sources. --Jpcase (talk) 20:39, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Multiple instances of incorrect information used in deletion discussion + new information: 1)editor states: "MTVu is not the same as MTV, as it is only available on 750 or so college campuses" & "only 1-week" VO5 had a song with 8 week heavy rotation on MTVu, available on most digital cable subscription (like Charter Cable) nationally with millions of viewers not just on college campuses. The song has 2 videos with over 600,000 worldwide total views on the VO5 youtube channel [1] 2)"unsigned cover band" - with "only local coverage".

This was closed as no consensus, but I believe most of the Keep !votes should have been disregarded. Specifically, it was asserted that meeting a criterion in WP:NJOURNALS conferred notability even in the absence of any reliable independent sources. The journal is indexed and has an impact factor (0.3, which means that the vast majority of papers are never referenced - it would be rejected as a source for most claims on Wikipedia), but the fact of being indexed is sourced directly to the index, in the form "foo is in bar index, source, foo entry in bar"; and the journal descriptors in these indexes are all supplied by the publisher, who also, naturally, applies for them to be indexed. So we have no reliable independent sources that allow us to validate that the article is neutral. Is it a good journal or does it publish firnge rubbish? We don't know. Well, we know it's not good with that impact factor, but the point is we cannot verify that the self-description supplied to the likes of SCOPUS by the publisher, is neutral. The major problem here is that editors who are fans of journals, are using inclusion in an index as a sufficient condition for notability rather than a necessary but insufficient criterion, which is how subject notability guides should be interpreted. That's fine if you want to compile a directory of journals, but WP:NOTDIR, and we must be able to WP:V the WP:NPOV of an article from reliable independent sources. Here, there is no independence. The delete !votes correctly referenced independence, whereas the keeps went with "it ticks box X so it is notable regardless of the absence of independent sources.

The category was deleted eight months ago (along with other "Novelists from..." categories based on first-order divisions of China). However, I would like to request that the matter be reopened. Category:Writers from Shanghai is a sufficiently large category that it really should be diffused by genre, I think, and many other Chinese provinces/special municipalities will also face that situation eventually. I think novelists are a sufficiently distinctive category that it would be a good way to diffuse to start with. (Further geographical diffusions are going to be difficult and not particularly useful, so I think genre diffusion has to be the way to go, unless we want to go for era diffusions, which I also think will be unhelpful given that Shanghai is a modern city and therefore the vast majority of writers from Shanghai will be of PRC origin.) I also think that analogous categories for other first-order divisions (provinces and special municipalities) should be restored, but let's start with discussing about Shanghai, as that category is, as I just mentioned, large and cannot be diffused by geography.

I am not sure where to go but this seems as good a place as any. Please direct me to the appropriate forum if I am incorrect. I am here because I keep being told (see below) that this page has a consensus to redirect yet I cannot locate any discussion which from what I read, would have been part of a deletion discussion.

There are two reasons. First, there is significant new information that shows the subject is notable. After the original article was deleted, NBC News ran a primetime special on the subject. Trailer: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMnDkslA3wi/ Full Episode: http://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/video/full-episode-the-man-who-knew-too-much-812427331656 Second, the closer of the AfD discussion interpreted it incorrectly. There was no consensus reached that the general notability guideline was not satisfied. Two users said "Delete" because there were no reliable independent sources. Then a user said "Keep" and posted nine sources. These were very strong sources, such as the BBC. After the sources were posted, nobody responded, so the admin "Sandstein" relisted the discussion. I said "Keep," and so did other unregistered users. The only new support for "Delete" came from a user who said he "tried his best" but couldn't find the sources. He must not have read the beginning of the discussion, where the URLs were all posted. Nobody ever criticized the sources that were posted, so no consensus for "Delete" could exist. If anything, the consensus was to "Keep." I explained this problem to the admin who deleted the article, and he told me to create a deletion review: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MBisanz/Archive_20#Afd_Clinton_Ehrlich I hope this article can now be restored, like the rules require.
