Fails WP:BIO. References cited do not indicate significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources. [1] is a non-notable blog. [2] mentions 8 instagram profiles, one of which is a community started by the subject. [3] is about people who have been affected by Delhi's vehicular pollution control rules, and names him as one of the several people surveyed by the reporter. [4] is part of a series that covers several notable and non-notable Indian startups -- it's an account of the subject's startup, based on his interview. Besides these, there are around ~4000 Google results, most of them social media accounts or about other people with the same name. utcursch | talk 23:43, 5 March 2016 (UTC) utcursch | talk 23:43, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

This person appears to fail WP:GNG, as well as WP:ARTIST. I couldn't find any independent reliable sources that cover the person in-depth, or at least not enough to satisfy significant coverage (which is required in order for an article subject to meet WP:GNG). ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:59, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- Weak keep/Neutral -- He's as fringe as fringe gets, to be sure, and fails part 1 of WP:NPOL in that he holds/has held no office. Still, he has received a substantial amount of coverage in independent sources, although the coverage is mostly focused on his antics. I am willing to reconsider my !vote upon hearing from others. GABHello! 20:47, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- The bulk of the coverage, and most of the references in the article, seem to be about one event (goat blood drinking), which I think also puts the article into WP:BLP1E territory. Dressingforasalad (talk) 21:05, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- Week keep - Just enough RS coverage (e.g. BBC, Financial Post, Associated Press) outside of local media to cross the WP:GNG bar.--JayJasper (talk) 20:55, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Weak delete - I'm just not seeing it. Coverage is there, but it seems to fall under WP:BLP1E with the remainder being incidental, or political gossip. Much of the coverage is based on self-aggrandizement, which should be weighed more cautiously. Grayfell (talk) 23:17, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - over 2000 articles have been mentioned him in the last year, he is presently a public candidate for office. People come to Wikipedia to get information on people just like him. Stealthepiscopalian (talk) Stealthepiscopalian 01:07, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Stealthepiscopalian
- Since this has been nominated for deletion, we can't just take your word for it. Some of these sources will need to be assessed and included in the article. The G-hit count is moderatly high, but that's irrelevant. Many of the sources I see are mentions of newsworthy mid-profile clients he's taken, such as Marcus Faella or David Damus, and the overwhelming majority are from an early October 2015 news blitz about the goat sacrifice thing. Being a defense attorney for semi-notable cases doesn't itself confer notability, per WP:NOTINHERITED, so sources still need to be about Invictus. Almost anyone can run for office, so candidates still need to meet WP:NPOL or similar notability guidelines. Grayfell (talk) 02:47, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep People come to Wikipedia to get reliable information about people in the news. He's not just running for office but has the Libertarian party nomination. I see the point about historical notability, and if a year or two from now he fades from interest I can see renominating this article, but at the moment removing it seems unwarranted. Current events are a critical part of Wikipedia.Choronzonclub (talk)Choronzonclub (talk) 00:15, 7 March 2016 (UTC)Choronzonclub
- See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a newspaper and WP:INTHENEWS. Useful or not, it still has to meet notability guidelines and other policies. Grayfell (talk) 08:14, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - He made another headline today. Even if the article is deleted, I've little doubt it will be re-added soon after. Vael Victus 03:14, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Weak Keep – I've seen quite a few articles about him at this point, and further research led me to his page and its AfD. There are so many aspects to this story that add up to at least marginal notability. Further, WP is currently a useful (and assumedly neutral) repository of this info, so it would be a shame to lose. I would echo Choronzonclub, above, as to renomination if he fades in a year or so, hence my vote of Weak Keep. — VoxLuna ☾ orbitland 09:52, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Neutral/Weak Delete - The fact that this person is an unelected candidate doesn't fail the article on WP:NPOL because he has had some coverage supported by sources significant enough to provide a degree of notability. My main concern with the article is that it shouldn't be a vehicle for self-aggrandizement, as Greyfell wrote. In view of the fact that he seems to be on a political campaign at present, that's an important and current concern. Parts of the article fail WP:NPOV and either have no sources or have the person himself as the source. With those elements taken out, I don't believe the article has much left. If it is retained, that must be resolved. I agree that it's possible the article might be added again after deletion, but that is not a reason to keep it. At this moment in time, I fall very slightly on the side of deletion but am primarily Neutral. Twistlethrop (talk) 00:40, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - I agree with JayJasper. The coverage in reliable sources is sufficient for notability.--William S. Saturn (talk) 06:41, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

The result was redirect to PAA. Overall consensus is to Redirect, The 2 listed on the dab can easily be shoved on too the PAA one, (non-admin closure) –Davey2010Talk 21:22, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

This disambiguation page seems redundant to PAA, where two of the three listed items already are listed. I suggest deleting or redirecting this and adding Paa (given name) to the other disambiguation page. Stefan2 (talk) 19:41, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- Keep valid three-entry dab plus see also. Paas will easily get lost amongst busy dab for PAA and the two things are different. I dont think there's any guidelines on these being merged, but correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not seeing the gains from merging here - certainly harder for the reader to find the right entry.

The result was keep. The addition of other Sam/Samuel Vincent entries means hatnotes are no longer sufficient and the disambiguation page does not fall afoul of WP:TWODABS. (non-admin closure) clpo13(talk) 16:28, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Sam Vincent (disambiguation) (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)
This is an unnecessary disambiguation whose use has been superseded by hatnotes. Disambiguation is not needed for Sam Vincent since the voice actor goes by Samuel Vincent, but hatnotes are there for navigation between the two. -- Tavix (talk) 18:49, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Disambiguations-related deletion discussions. -- Tavix (talk) 18:49, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. As I previously said to Tavix: it's not because of a WP:TWODABS that a disambiguation page can't exist. It's not bothering anyone, so why remove it? It might come in handy in future.--Midas02 (talk) 19:23, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, WP:TWODABS says otherwise:
If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed—it is sufficient to use a hatnote on the primary topic article, pointing to the other article.
And that's exactly what we have here: the basketball player is the primary topic for Sam Vincent, and it could refer to Samuel Vincent, so we use hatnotes. We also have precedent for deleting the disambiguation when that is the case. See, for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oscar Danielson (disambiguation) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luc Thériault (disambiguation). Finally, if another Sam Vincent becomes notable in the future, it doesn't take much effort to recreate the dab. Until then, WP:CRYSTALBALL applies here—we don't know when, or if, that may happen. -- Tavix (talk) 20:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, WP:TWODABS says otherwise:
- Delete: unnecessary - hatnotes do the work better. PamD 23:30, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Tavix: and @PamD:. Tavix, that's not what Twodabs states, it merely states it is not required. What's the rational for deleting? It seems like a waste of time. --Midas02 (talk) 16:54, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Midas02: The dab page is unnecessary as the existing two articles can be best connected by hatnotes (readers only need one click to get to the other article if they've found the wrong one). More than that, it's slightly dangerous to leave it lying around: if someone created a new "Sam Vincent (xyz)" article, and found the dab page, they might list it there which would mean it's not linked from Samuel Vincent. At that point they should either expand the hatnote there, or create a new dab page. So deleting the dab page is removing something unnecessary which could potentially cause confusion in the future. PamD 17:20, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- That's a difference of opinion PamD. Someone would really have to be paying little attention to modify the dab page without noticing there is a primary topic. Again, I don't see the point, but it's not like I care much either. What I can not allow, however, is that people would pretend deleting is policy. Unless I'm mistaken, it is not. --Midas02 (talk) 17:41, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

WP:BLP of an artist, with no credible or properly sourced claim of notability per WP:NARTIST -- as written, this just asserts that she exists, while failing to list any specific accomplishments that could actually be measured against Wikipedia's inclusion criteria for artists, and the sourcing is parked on one "our artists" profile on the website of a directly-affiliated gallery (a primary source which cannot assist notability) and one Q&A-style interview in a magazine (a source which would be acceptable for some supplementary confirmation of facts after an article had already been sourced over WP:GNG, but cannot count toward GNG as it represents the subject talking about herself.) Nothing here is substantive enough, or reliably sourced well enough, to make her suitable for inclusion at this time. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if it can be written more substantively, and sourced better, than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:13, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- Keep an interview can show notability because it means that she was newsworthy. It shouldn't be unduly relied upon for the article, though. However, she is written up in Hyperallergenic, and in Oregon Live as well. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:04, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Interviews cannot count toward GNG at all, because they represent the topic talking about herself, and are thus subject to the same problems as any primary source — so interviews can be used only for supplementary confirmation of biographical facts after an article has already been sourced over GNG, and cannot bring any GNG in their own right. Bearcat (talk) 03:11, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep as the New Museum exhibition, Hyperallergic, and ARTnews are enough to establish notability aside from the AiA interview. That said, having an interview in Art in America is indicative of significant attention on her work. Art in America is one of the top five most important art outlets (Artforum, Frieze, ARTnews, NYTimes). As per @Megalibrarygirl: I would be disinclined to rely on it heavily, but I do think it signifies notability.Theredproject (talk) 04:06, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Non-notable academic journal. Fails WP:NJOURNALS (not included in selective indexing services) and WP:GNG.

- Hi. I am Snehahurrian. Farman Nawaz has written articles for Pakistani newspapers The Frontier Post, Statesman, DAWN (newspaper), Express Tribune, and Daily Times, Afghani newspaper The Daily Outlook Afghanistan is the only English newspaper published from Kabul. Farman Nawaz is writing for Outlook Afghanistan since 2009. Similarly Global Times China is stateowned newspapers of China. it is the sister publication of peoples daily. Farman Nawaz has written round about 10 articles for the opinion page of Global Times China. Direct links of his articles can be provided if required.
Normally it is difficult to provide information for notability and other aspects of journalists. I have also created other pages about journalists and columnists. like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gul_Nokhaiz_Akhtar
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujahid_Hussain

Article about a concert tour with no substance or sourcing to make it a notable concert tour per WP:NCONCERT. Every tour does not automatically get a standalone article just because it's happening -- rather, NCONCERT specifies that "Concert tours are notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Such coverage might show notability in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms. Sources that merely establish that a tour happened are not sufficient to demonstrate notability. Tours that cannot be sufficiently referenced in secondary sources should be covered in a section on the artist's page rather than creating a dedicated article." But no importance has been demonstrated here, because the only content here is a list of the venues rather than any discussion of its significance. Redirect to Florida Georgia Line, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when NCONCERT can be met. Bearcat (talk) 16:36, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- The literary community agrees that when a book is published, it is a form of news, both for the publishers and the authors. When a book is reviewed it is news for the publishers and the authors. This, according to the literary community, is news coverage, especially when they are being covered by social media. Ogunyemi's case belongs to all of them. Additionally, his entry is more notable, visible, newsier than many other writers in the Wikipedia.

Mine Seed is a historical novel recognized as both literature and a contribution to anthracite and labor history. It has been reviewed and archived beyond the claims of local. Nationally known historian Howard Zinn (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/28/us/28zinn.htm) reviewed Mine Seed as “a powerful story…something extraordinary in literature.” Richard Rousseau, editor of the University of Scranton Press called it a “valuable record.”
Mine Seed is referenced in Anthracite! An Anthology of Coal Region Drama. Mosley, Philip, ed. University of Scranton Press, 2006. P. 338. with other notable anthracite fiction writers. http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bookdistributed/A/books/distributed/A/bo3775640
This is simply untrue; Mine Seed isn't mentioned there.see below The anthologist and editor of Anthracite! did review it, but in a local on-line publication called the Anthracite History Journal. This publication no longer exists, although the last editor is thinking of bringing it back online. Some parts of it, including this review, are "Waybacked;" see [Mosley review of Mine See]. You'll see that this is a local author being interviewed in a local, specialized online publication. Anmccaff (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- Better check your facts again, anmccaff. Mine Seed is referenced on p. 338 of Mosley's Anthracite!, to say otherwise is untrue. To give you the benefit of the doubt, you are either mistaken or you haven't looked at p. 338.St o'hara (talk) 17:31, 26 February 2016 (UTC)St. o'hara
- That's your "cite?" A "see also" on a backmost page bibliography? My apologies to the others for missing it, but that's hardly a point in favor of notability.
Mine Seed is also held in the collections of historical archives and university libraries, including but not limited to: the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, (http://discover.hsp.org/Record/marc-283853/D) the Pennsylvania State University, among others and is internationally referenced: in (http://www.worldcat.org/title/mine-seed/oclc/51823897) (https://www.worldcat.org/
- Again, a falsehood. There are only two entries on Worldcat. Three books total, of which only one can circulate. Two, one circulation, in Scranton, the author's...and the wikitor who wrote this article's ...hometown. The other 150 miles down Interstate 80 in State College. That's it. World(-cat) wide. Three books. One to circulate. Anmccaff (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- Not false. My entry is simply to show that Mine Seed is archived in state-wide archives and state-wide university libraries. I gave two examples readily found online: The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and the Pennsylvania State University main library at State College, PA. Copies held as reference material don’t circulate. Some of the other libraries listed on Worldcat show the book circulates. Why you are saying it does not, I don't know. Many historical archives are not online. Not all libraries are listed on Worldcat--so how many libraries (or other sites) actually hold copies of Mine Seed for circulation or for reference is unknown. St o'hara (talk) 17:31, 26 February 2016 (UTC)St. o'hara
- As I wrote, and anyone else can confirm, there simply aren't other citations on WorldCat, and the fact that something is found in WorldCat does not, in itself, make it notable.
Links (see below) to other writings by Dailey published in national and notable publications: Counterpunch, edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair; Voices in The Wilderness edited by multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominee Kathy Kelly, and the Village Voice (which were deleted from article by the editor that proposed the article for deletion) are more proof of the notability beyond local notability of the author and this book. St o'hara (talk)St. o'hara
- Dailey wrote two articles for the online part of Counterpunch; which is to say, she wrote two articles that are pretty much "letters to the editor." The online side of Counterpunch is, essentially, a minimally curated open blog. Very different from the newsletter proper, which, whatever you might think of it, has some weight.
- Counterpunch is a respected online journal edited by the late Alexander Cockburn, a highly regarded writer and journalist, and Jeffrey St. Clair. It is not a "blog" or "minimally curated" and its contents are not equivalent to "letters to the editor." Many prominent writers, journalists, economists, commentators, and so forth are selected for publication there. St o'hara (talk) 17:31, 26 February 2016 (UTC)St. o'hara
- This was discussed on the Reliable sources board [| here]; the strong consensus was that this was not a reliable source, unlike the paper/pdf version. It's a lot like the difference between the SF Examiner and examiner.com. Anmccaff (talk) 20:24, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- Zinn's quotation can only be sourced to the advertising of the self-published book.
- That’s from an advance review by Howard Zinn. Not sure if you are trying to discredit the veracity of Howard Zinn, the author, or others, like University of Scranton Press editor Richard Rousseau, who is also credited with vetting Mine Seed. St o'hara (talk)St. o'hara
- Yes, as listed by the seller, Amazon, from the writer. Of a self-published book. Advertising.
- The Nobel folks only release info about nominees fifty years after the award, so claiming that someone is "Nobel nominated" has its own issues. Again, notice the misleading writing: "two basic ones," instead of a more honest "two only ones". Anmccaff (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- Again, please check your facts, anmccaff. There’s nothing misleading in what I wrote. The Nobel nominees’ names can be released by the nominators. In fact, Kathy Kelly had been nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize as referenced below (from Kathy Kelly):
- American Friends Service Committee (1947 laureate) nomination for the 2000 Nobel Peace Prize[40]
- Nomination by 1976 Nobel laureate Mairead Maguire for the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.[41]

- Mellgren's piece does not contain an "anonymous" nomination of Kelly, but an assertion that the AFSC had nominated "Women in Black". [[7]] Check out page 8A.
- The Nobel committee prohibits leaks, and refuses to confirm them. What actions they may take against nominators who flout their rules is unknown to me, but I can't think of a -single- leaked nominee who got the award, ever. Can you?
- I can also see no way to actually confirm that the organizations did formally nominate, at least not for another 40 years.
- ...and, finally, this has nothing to do with the article directly, does it? Anmccaff (talk) 20:24, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete This back and forth between Anmccaff and St. o'hara reads like a battle of wills. I'm coming down on the side of Delete. Despite the opinions of reviewers and this books presence in various academic libraries, if there was convincing evidence of a notable impact within the anthracite mining community or the fields of history or literature (beyond being name checked in references) then maybe it would deserve a wikipedia entry. But the article reads, as the nominator points out, with a POV purpose . Also, it's ridiculous to claim notability with a link (e.g. Amazon) that merely serves to verify the books existence.

I replied to this editor’s points in the standard scholarly response when a subject is being debated.
- “Mine Seed” is a book recommended highly by the eminent historian Howard Zinn; it is also a standard in anthracite history references, etc. and written by a woman. It was tagged as both a portal to literature and anthracite history and is noted in anthracite history and literature-- as anyone caring to research will see. Wikipedia has been criticized for under representing women in literature and articles. Is there a gender bias here against this article? Wikipedia has acknowledged its gender bias and is apparently, attempting to address it.

- Having said all that I am now in favor of deleting this article, however, as I have come to the conclusion that Wikipedia is unreliable as a valid reference and I will no longer recommend people use it—-quite the opposite—-for the following reasons (which I will also add to discussions of the unreliability of Wikipedia) cited below for anyone reading here who may be concerned about the future of Wikipedia:
- As research shows, Wikipedia is considered untrustworthy by many, even a joke, and is called unreliable in academic circles because of its lack of fact checking, its biases including-- gender bias, its editors with agendas pedaling their own viewpoints, and an often hostile editing environment. Reliability and scholarship lose to editors with little to no knowledge of content being able to delete information at will and by committee, and bad faith editors destroying content instead of working to build a better encyclopedia.
- “Many good intentioned contributors end up resigning Wikipedia due to others who like making it into a battleground for the “most correct” appliance of norms. This can lead to a rigid and slow adapting organization, which would eventually cause the end of it.” –Juliana Brunello “Response to Jaron Lanier’s Digital Maoism.” http://networkcultures.org/cpov/resources/resources_in_english/response-to-jaron-lanier-digital-maoism/
- One example, Wikipedia is hamstrung by misapplications of rules like “notability”—where being notable is narrowly defined by “being notable” as defined by ad hoc committees and voted on--even by sock puppets. So being a “celebrity” automatically gives notability even if it is for arcane and idiotic things—of which Wikipedia is full. However, “celebrity” does not equal “authority” or relevance. Incorrect application of Wikipedia rules means that authentic creative and /or scholarly works and contributions and references can be too easily jettisoned by editors, who may be bad faith editors, people with other points of view, or people simply lacking knowledge of content and subjects they delete.
- I also have to agree with Aaron Halfaker that Wikipedia is on the decline, sharply losing editors, (especially newcomers) since 2007. http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-shows-wikipedias-huge-participation-problem-2013-11 I have increasingly seen information manipulated by a sort of popularity contest; editors gang up on contributors and delete references without reading them, ad hominem attacks, defamations and libels go unchecked, and so on. This certainly has led to a decline in the quality and reputation of Wikipedia as it drives out good editors, and volunteers and monetary contributions.

He lacks an article on the Japanese Wikipedia, which in itself is irrelevant to this discussion, but does mean there is not a useful place to start searching for third-party sources.

- Delete or merge to Daniel Ishag: This is an interesting case. Karhoo is a company that hasn't started operations yet, but has secured VC funding. The notability issue is that every news hit I can find out there is either a reprint of press releases (e.g. Karhoo securing a lease in Manhattan), or consists mostly or entirely of an interview with Daniel Ishag, the founder. In other words, the coverage that we might call significant is not independent, and what remaining portions we might call independent are not significant. If (and that's a big if) there's any significant coverage of Karhoo's VC rounds, then it falls within WP:EVENT, which would counsel deletion here. That this article appears to have been created during a PR push by Karhoo/Ishag's marketing people does not help things. In short we have a service that isn't notable right now (even if it probably will be at some point, WP:XBALL controls). —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 15:08, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: Of particular note is the absence of any independent significant coverage on Karhoo's media page. While that's not going to be an exhaustive list of coverage, you would expect it to include the best of the best coverage on the company. Even the typical "as seen on" or "as used by" or "as discussed by" section, with a ton of network, publication and business logos—a mainstay of current web design for startups—is not present. That strongly suggests that even Karhoo's own PR people know of no real significant coverage. I'm not saying that should be controlling, but taken with an independent analysis of what's actually out there, we can feel a lot more confident that said analysis is correct. It's just too soon for an article on this subject, like an unreleased movie or a professional sportsperson who hasn't debuted yet. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 17:15, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to Advance directive. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:46, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with decedent directives, though it sounds like they are essentially a testamentary instrument (sans relevant will formalities). My understanding is that advance healthcare directives simply provide instructions about healthcare, while "decedent directives" provide post-death instructions about burial wishes and the distribution of a person's assets. Therefore, I think it would make more sense to redirect this to will and testament, which discusses instruments that provide for a person's wishes after their death. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 04:04, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to will and testament, or else merge into advance directive with clarification that decedent directive is similar to advance directive but deals with matters happening after death (and add a see also: will and testament), while advance directive is dealing with matters happening while the person is still alive. It seems like many of the sources discussing "decedent directive" start by saying it is similar to the advance directive and then highlighting the difference, so it makes sense for it to be discussed on the advance directive page rather than going straight to will and testament. Also, there are opinions and legal sources where the phrase "decedent's Directive" is used to refer to an advance directive for something to be done prior to death, in the midst of a litigation after the person has died and is being called the "decedent", which to me is another reason for taking people to the "advance directive" page so they can identify the type of directive.

- Keep. They're not completely unrelated, but I think that its properties as (1) biggest odd number of sides of a constructible regular polygon, (2) max unsigned int, and (3) reserved special Autonomous System Number [14] are distinct enough and interesting enough to satisfy a combination of criteria 1 (three interesting properties) and 2 (cultural significance) of WP:NUMBER. All are easily sourced so the fact that the article currently doesn't list those sources is irrelevant. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:47, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Weak keep. I see only two unrelated interesting properties, as David Eppsteins's (2) and (3) are consequences of it being equal to 2^32-1. (If I am to trust the article, (1) is a consequence of the factorization in Fermat primes). The cultural claim is somewhat weak, as it relies on it being max unsigned int. That being said, the properties are major, and for a number that high (above a billion), I would argue that it is still a good concentration of interesting properties.

It's not that this "well" is a hoax in the Wikipedia sense, but that the references that have been used to make a claim about its notability aren't adequate: podcasts, blogs, etc. are not considered reliable sources of information, and the fact that it was discussed on Snopes isn't evidence of notability (Snopes does its best to debunk every urban legend that has ever existed). The article includes no evidence of this hoax being discussed non-trivially in reliable, independent, published sources with broad readership, and my own search for such sources only turned up more unreliable ones (strangerdimensions.com, disclose.tv, mysteriousuniverse.org, etc.). KDS4444Talk 08:54, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a fairly popular urban legend. Proving its notability is a little harder than I thought, but I still found multiple sources: [17] from The Mythology of Supernatural (published by Penguin Group), [18] from Satanism Today (published by ABC-CLIO), [19] in the Encyclopedia of Urban Legends (published by ABC-CLIO), [20] from Pacific Standard, and, finally, [21] from the Deseret News, which is kind of a repeat of the Encyclopedia of Urban Legends because it's written by Jan Harold Brunvand, who also wrote that book. Still, it shows that there's significant interest in this urban legend. There are also additional offline sources listed at bottom of the Snopes entry, such as an article in the Austin American-Statesman. I think a pretty decent rule of thumb is if Brunvand has written about it, it's notable. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:22, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Yet another unremarkable Pinoy Big Brother housemate. Although I can vaguely remember his name as I watched PBB last year, I couldn't find enough independent coverage about him; the closest I could find was some affiliated sources which discussed a past relationship with Julia Barretto, but that isn't really enough to establish notability. As for his acting career, outside of PBB he's so far had only two minor roles in two different series, so at best I guess he's a case of WP:TOOSOON.

No indication of notability. Reddit and Instagram are not reliable sources. The article was deprodded by its creator Elandres. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:50, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Relocating the Article
As I said <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Front_End_Friday>: I understand issues with the articles notability and references. However, before it is removed I would like to add its redeemable content to an appropriate article. I would appreciate recommendations of that and any other advice on how to amend said article. Anecdotally, I actually stumbled upon the expression "Front End Friday" when posting #fef on Twitter referring to the Ecuador's national football team (Federación Ecuatoriana de Fútbol). However, after checking its use among others, I was surprised to see that the entirety of its users were auto enthusiasts with my now new understanding of its use. I'm probably not the first to realize this, but the first to want to document this in a space that people trust, so as to prevent any confusion. Having a top-listed article for "#fef" searches, is preferable to me than the more inquisitive, brute force method I had to employ. Arguably, a better space for this would be Urban Dictionary, and I understand if its not wanted here.Elandres (talk) 01:12, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- In addition to the above, when I first considered how to format the content of the article, I referred to the Throw Back Thursday article. Looking back it now, it is a very simple page (similar to the one I wrote) with very succinct set of facts. The only major difference is that the #tbt page does have a reference (a Sports Illustrated article). This difference is a consequence of #tbt usage being more widespread than #fef, and thus garnered enough recognition to have a journalist cover the phenomenon (for lack of a better term). But that does not detract from widespread use of #fef and its most popular meaning. So I did a little extra research to see if its being written about, but its not. The best I could come up with is the original Reddit thread I found. I understand that is not reliable enough, and still support the idea of relocating the content.Elandres (talk) 01:36, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
