Original research. This is honestly one of the worst offenders of the original research rule I've seen in a long time, a perfect example of the kind of "synthesis" we forbid on Wikipedia. It's a long, long string of facts and observations strung together to advance a position. — TheBilly(Talk) 10:42, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The position of her being a gay icon is well-known and notable. Of the many sources and lists of her as a top gay icon, it was even in a book. She is open about it as well. The article has a lot of referencing issues but it shouldn't be deleted. --NortyNort (Holla) 11:41, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Clearly, from the sources cited in the article, her relationship with the gay community is notable. I think a better title would be "Madonna and the gay community" or "Madonna and homosexuality." No need for WP to say that she is an "icon," whatever that means. I am sure that not every gay person is a fan. (And did anyone notice that madonna -- Madonna (art) that is -- and icon are very related in meaning, not that that's a reason to keep or delete this article.)

- Keep - entirely reasonable spinout article from Madonna (entertainer). Madonna's status as a gay icon is well-established and well-documented, dating back at least to her 1991 interview with The Advocate. The article is not in the greatest shape but reviewing sister articles Judy Garland as gay icon and Janet Jackson as gay icon shows that articles under this naming convention are sustainable. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 20:56, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per discussion above, especially by Cow of Pain and Norty Nort; and as I shall note. The main article is far too long, and this article merely needs cleanup and other issues fixed. WP:AfD is not for fixing an article that can be fixed through the ordinary editing process. Bearian'sBooties 01:38, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Keep similar articles like this one, such as Judy Garland; referenced. This is also well known and notable. Tommy! [message] 01:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Record label. The creator claims that, since the label has big projects whose existence can be verified from its website, it is notable. That would violate WP:CRYSTAL, which is very clear in that the reliable third-party coverage must come before the Wikipedia article, not the other way around. Currently, Google News returns nothing.

The result was Kept. After reviewing her article and the associated refs, I think she clearly deserves an article. Her modelling career may not be much yet, but the furvor over her winning the title in 2007 is significant. Looks as if her winning the gold coast event sparked a movement which resulted in a change in the laws in Australia. This is significant and her role in that change was more than marginal.---Balloonman NO! I'm Spartacus! 01:25, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suspect notability. Article has the refs, but as it's been noted in two PRODs, the refs only point to the subject being known for a single news item three years ago. A quick check of her Fashion Model Directory profile shows she has done literally nothing since then. Mbinebri talk ← 21:18, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep Has signed with Elite, one of the World's biggest modeling agencies, has been the subject of articles from all around the world (see references) and even caused the Australian prime minister to comment on the situation. She is NOT known for a single news item. She is known for being the face of Gold Coast Fashion week at 12 years old, but also for signing for Elite Models. 24.122.11.178 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:39, 18 August 2010 (UTC).[reply]
- Strong Keep She also made the news again after being "stalked" by an American convict who requested pictures of her by writing to a newspaper. And by the way, this model was the subject of comments by the prime minister of Australia AND the leader of the opposition. She made the news numerous times and is one of modeling's rising star. So this deletionist nonsense must stop NOW Terveetkadet (talk) 19:52, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Was the subject of articles all around the world for the Gold Coast Week, for signing with Elite after being courted by all the big modeling agencies and her mother also commented heavily in the media because of the stalker thing. Like Monika Jagaciak, she is a very important person, especialy in the context of a better understanding of the issues related to age and modeling since many fashion festivals now forbid models below 16 on runways but still, agencies still hire 12, 13 and 14 years old models. 207.134.167.39 (talk) 14:36, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Stong Keep is used in Australian schools as a source of reference for English Essays on self esteeme and has even had reference made to her in Journalistic studies at Griffith University on the Gold Coast. Has had "facebook" pages made from young fans in the USA. Young girls around the world actually still try to contact her and are interested in her continued growth.

- Sockpuppet of who??? That seems crazy but User:Michelle Gabriel's IP is actually from Australia, on the Gold Coast. I'm a bit sceptic because of the writing errors, especialy in the name Tugun (which was incorrectly written Tugan) but that actually might be her mother or someone close to her because on the info she gave, including the school that she attends now, which seems to be exact with the checks I made today Terveetkadet (talk) 04:01, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I am her mother. I suffer from dyslexia and sometimes spell things wrong, Just looked up her passport - you are right it is spelt Tugun! I've always spelts it Tugan. Sorry for my mistake. You also Spelt "Sidney" wrong which I corrected which is Sydney. What else do you want for me to prove I am her mother? My full name is Michelle Carolynne Gabriel, my maiden name is Kortum. I come from Melbourne originally and moved to the Gold Coast over 20 years ago. I don't know how to use this very well but thought it was wroth showing you my IP address so you could see I am from Gold Coast Australia - to try to prove who I am. You can also check me out on Facebook, where I have Maddi as one of my friends and also a hoax Maddi that I am trying to talk into deleting (she is a 13yo from USA, who is also now a friend also) Sorry I can't spell:-) I am trying to help make sure this is all correct information.

- Terveeetkadet, I finally found out what sockpuppet meant! And thank you for your words. I really was only trying to help and make things correct as I am sure it is helpful if Wikipedia has correct information as so many kids use it for references for their school work these days. If there are other questions you have (just as long as they are not to personal) we are willing to answer them. Also if you want more up to date photo's too, we can supply (if someone explains how!) Sorry that the other person doesn't think I am a real person. I am, I can assure you! I also do not like people pretending to be others! Anyway hopefully the information I have supplied helps and sorry I don't edit well and correct my spelling and bad typing as well as I should (you should see my texting capabilities!)

- Delete per NOTNEWS and ONEEVENT. Only notable for being in the news and nothing else. (Possibly two events, including the later stalking incident but still not news.) Modeling career not notable. Christopher Connor (talk) 03:40, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- (changed to comment) Her career is not noteable yet, due to the fact that Australia changed the age to 16 for models because of her starting to model at 13. Other models have lied about their age to be able to model before 16 but as she was known she couldn't and wouldn't lie about her age. For a 15 yo she has travelled and worked on three continents, has been asked to also model in China, Malayasia and Japan but hasn't due to finishing school. This is the start of a career that will continue and in the next few years potentially blossom. Both Fashion in Italy and Storm in London wanted her to give up school to model full time as they can see her potential, however she has decided to continue school for the next year. After than she will then model full time and from what all the agents say has a potential of a very long career ahead of her. This information now is pertanant to many who are still following her career. Many teenage girls look up to her and see her as a potential and role model for them. Michelle Gabriel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.29.34.214 (talk) 11:32, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the Gold Coast Fashion Week thing, the other contest she won, the fact she signed for Elite, the fact she models on many continents, the fact that she has worked for many agencies and posed in many magazines, the fact that she appears in a Bryan Ferry video, the fact that she has been the subject of articles from independent sources all around the world makes her notable not only in Australia but internationnaly. Meets the criteria for notability more than what's asked for... 207.134.167.39 (talk) 12:53, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If her career, per your admission, is not notable yet (not to mention she's more concerned with being a student), she shouldn't have an article; notability is not based on what might happen in the future. Also, if a debate is relisted, you don't need to vote again. To 207.134.167.39: the significant coverage is all related to the news items. Her career is sourced entirely to a talent directory and a page created by an agency, and all they verify is a trio of editorials—which is entirely unremarkable. Mbinebri talk ← 14:01, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Mbinebri talk ← I hope you understood that User:Michelle Gabriel is not familiar with Wikipedia and that her last comments don't mean that she agrees that Maddison Gabriel doesn't fit the notability guidelines. She's just trying her best to help improve this page. MANY notable teenage models now model part-time, especially in Australia because of the recent regulations about young models on catwalks and both Maddison Gabriel and Monika Jagaciak are important for the understanding of that issue. Many teenage models or athletes are doing it part time too cause school is important to them. Should they be declared «not notable» because school is important to them? I don't think so. Maddison has been featured in many publications in Australia and all around the world and is in a Bryan Ferry video, she has also been signed by Elite models, those items have nothing to do with the news item you keep coming back with. There are people who are known only for being in an Internet meme and who have their Wikipedia pages. I respectfully think that Maddison Gabriel is not less notable than the Numa Numa Guy 207.134.167.39 (talk) 15:06, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Did you even read the linked essay, or just fail to assume good faith from the start? What the essay means is that just because we might have articles about internet meme's (which probably should not exist), do not use it as an argument about another article existing - giving that argument typically is the death knell for any article.

Non-notable band. No sources provided and I can't find any either. If you're interested, look through the article history before I got to it--but you may not find anything there that makes this band notable, not even the pyrotechnics mishap or the bathroom 'incident'.

- Keep - This is an excellent example of a time when it is best to Apply Common Sense — that is, in Wikipedia jargon, to Ignore All Rules. This is a fine little historical biography. Deleting it would needlessly destroy information and would accomplish nothing of value. Carrite (talk) 01:45, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- comment. As Sexey as Sexey could be. Even if Oliphant's story of runaway kids is a legend, it already made it into mainsteram literature. However, I am concerned with OR and copyright - this reads like something lifted from a heritage club website. East of Borschov 12:16, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think there is a copyright issue here. I just Google searched 5 unique phrases in the article and got clean returns to the WP article or pages derived from the WP article (AskJeeves, etc.). The issue here is one of verifiability — it's not footnoted right. Is that reason enough to kill it? Not a BLP, so technically no. Carrite (talk) 17:51, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Apart from what is said above, it records early pakeha history of New Zealand when there weren't many Europeans around, and nothing much was recorded. For that reason alone, it's worth keeping.
- comment - it would appear that on 8 April 2007 this article was deleted once before, as per this entry. Looking at the article's history, it was recreated the following day as 'Charles E Sexey' (i.e. without the full stop after the middle initial) and moved in 2008 to its current (and previous) article name. Schwede66 19:59, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As per above comment, content looks to be copied from previously deleted article. No additional sources and only minor additional content which adds nothing to justify the article.

DeleteOriginal research (reference citations such as "US Census for 1860 and 1870 listing Charles Sexey" and "Marysville Library for newspaper index references to Charles Sexey"). Non-neutral ("What is tragic about this (estate) judgement is that those who were entitled to receive the money, Charles Sexey’s four children in New Zealand, never received a penny of their father’s wealth or ever derived any benefit from it."). Although the subject is claimed to be an important citizen of Marysville, California, he is not mentioned in the article about Marysville. It's not a hoax - there are a few online sources [1] [2] that give him a bare mention in connection with Marysville - but overall his significance is not established. --MelanieN (talk) 14:50, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Changing my mind to Weak keep. I decided that my "original research" comment is mistaken. The author consulting references like the census and the library, is not really original research; it is establishing sources. This guy may not have been the most important citizen any of the places he lived, but he left a trail of achievement that is not trivial. --MelanieN (talk) 16:58, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article is about, I think, a museum for where Gandhi stayed for a small part of his life. Per WP:INHERIT, this does not, in and of itself, make the museum notable. Without independent reliable sources asserting notability, article should be deleted per WP:V and WP:N.

- Keep - Notable enough to be one of the main attractions in Rajkot. [3][4][5] Like Beethoven House, a place can become notable if related to an iconic figure. And at least one reliable source calls it Ghandi's "ancestral home", not just a place "where Gandhi stayed for a small part of his life." [6] What the article creator has been doing with other articles has nothing to do with the notability of this one.

- Keep - First, this nomination is illegitimate. If the previous people who worked on the article failed to add sources, that is a reason for others to expand and improve the article, and NOT a reason for deletion. The nominator also said "if none exists" (key word is IF) meaning that he/she didn't do good-faith research before nominating. These are all obvious violations of #1, 2, 3, 9, and 10 of WP:BEFORE, making this whole AfD useless except for the fact that now the rest of us know the article needs improvement. As for this band, they have an acceptable level of coverage at AllMusic, where the Charts & Awards tab notes their several placements on the charts, a fact that is easily verifiable at Billboard. I also found a few other sources and added them to the article, plus a few edit and cleanup tags, which didn't take much more time than writing this vote. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:37, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per some of what Doomsdayer520 says above has coverage on allmusic.com and have released on a significant record label. VirtualRevolution (talk) 08:24, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I disagree that the nomination was illegitimate. The article has existed for over 10 months. In all that time, no legitimate source has been added. Articles may not stand around unsourced on Wikipedia forever. Adding tags is helpful when new information is added that can likely be sourced, but this information was not new. The only legitimate part of WP:BEFORE (which I do not believe has the force of policy, as it does not match what WP:DEL, the actual policy, says) is #9. #1 is untrue, #2 doesn't apply (this article is not a stub, has not recently been vandlized, etc.), #3 blatantly contradicts WP:V and WP:BLP (that is, no one has to choose to use tags rather than remove unverified information; had I removed the unverified info, nothing would have been left in the article), #9 I violated, and #10 doesn't apply (this is not a recently created article). In any event, the AfD did what no one bothered to do for over a year--make this article follow the core WP:V and WP:BLP policies. That means, in my opinion, that nominating for AfD was the correct approach. As such I now...

This subject does not meet notability standards. Being mentioned in your local newspaper and having an IMDB profile does not make you notable. Hundreds of filmmakers win awards every year - most of which do not have Wikipedia pages - that's what IMDB is for. Not Wikipedia.

- Comment I am always concerned when a nomination begins with a WP:WAX argument such as "other award-winners don't have articles so why should this one?" And then we have a dismissive comparison of IMDB and Wikipedia... like comparing apples and oranges. It's a non-argument, as no one asserts that being on IMDB gives any sort of notability. A person can receive an IMDB credit by providing such inglorious tasks as craft services or driving a crew van or performing go-fer services... just so long as production deems fit to give the individual an on-screen credit. So what? On Wikipedia notability is dependent on something more than simply doing a task and being listed. Here, if someone recieves coverage for their works and awards, they might be determined notable. And it is also worth pointing out that Miami New Times... is not some backwoods gazette... as a newspaper in Miami would be expected to report on news in Miami... and is not exactly "your local newspaper" for someone who now lives in Brooklyn, New York.... so it seems a few "facts" in this nomination are being just a teeny bit skewed. Does the article need cleanup? Yes. Does it need more sourcing? Yes. But if such prove to be surmountable issues, they are not cause for deletion. I am also always concerned when the very first edits ever by a brand new editor are to begin a deletion nomination.[9] Nice that this newcomer is jumping right in... and AGF is AGF, yes... but please forgive me, as this one strains just a bit.

- Keep - Absolutely an inclusion-worthy topic. Article is flagged for lack of a lead and somebody needs to write one immediately. Certainly an article which can and should be improved, but that's not reason to haul this here for deletion. Not an unwikified and unsourced original essay, which is what we should be on guard for. Needs work but a reasonably good early effort at writing economic history with contemporary importance. Carrite (talk) 15:30, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Yes, and it is mentioned here as well... and since the growing genre of XXX Parody seems to receive coverage, why not include them all as a notable genre article, instead of seperate articles?

This is a very long list of mostly red-linked clones. It's unreferenced (likely ripped from a website), far too many red links, and contains too many mistakes. Action Gamemaster was never released, Entertainment Computer System is an Intellivision add-on, Nintoaster is a case mod, and "Super Joy Fun Stick Player Mech Game Player Game" is Benjamin Heckendorn's nickname for the Power Player Super Joy III. In short, a complete mess of an "article".
- keep, but limit to bluelinked (and correctly bluelinked) entires only. Agree in current form it is a mess, but messes should be cleaned up, not deleted. UnitedStatesian (talk) 20:58, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete regardless of whether it can be cleaned up or not. The NOAC is a very very commonly available chip, and there's just way to many devices and systems out there using it to justify listing anything but the most notable, which even then the handful of which can simply be mentioned in prose in the Nintendo Entertainment System article. As such, I don't see enough notability to carry it's own article here. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 02:02, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, in a cut-down form, but not restricted to blue linked articles (Category:Nintendo Entertainment System hardware clones serves that purpose) - NES clones are an important part of many countries' gaming history outside of Japan, North America and Western Europe, but many of them aren't individually notable or unique enough to warrant their own article (there are only so many different ways you can say "it plays Famicom games but it's shaped more like console X, oh and it has turbo buttons"). It shouldn't attempt to list every clone ever produced - there are thousands of them - but at least those that enjoyed some degree of popularity somewhere in the world.

- Delete - Amusingly I was going to suggest this be a category rather than an article. Turns out it's already a category. There's also a full length article on NES clones. If a clone doesn't deserve it's own article or even mention within the clones article, why does it need a whole other article to catalogue it? Not to mention this list isn't sourced and contains some...questionable entries. - OldManNeptune⚓ (talk) 02:18, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
