Articles for Deletion (AfD) is where Wikipedians decide what should be done with an article. Items sent here usually wait seven days or so; afterward the following actions can be taken on an article as a result of community consensus:

Kept
Deleted per the deletion policy
Sent to Cleanup
Merged and/or redirected to an existing article
Transwikied (moved to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote, or Wiktionary)

More information.

Things to consider:

It is important to read and understand the Wikipedia deletion policy which states which problems form valid grounds for deletion before adding comments to this page.
Use the "what links here" link which appears in the sidebar of the actual article page, to get a sense how the page is being used and referenced within Wikipedia.
Please familiarize yourself with some frequently cited guidelines, in particular WP:BIO, WP:FICT, WP:MUSIC and WP:COI.

AfD etiquette:

Please be familiar with the policies of not biting the newcomers, Wikiquette, no personal attacks, and civility before adding a comment.
Sign any listing or vote you add, by adding this after your comment: ~~~~.
If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, clearly base your vote on the deletion policy, and vote only once, like everyone else.
Your opinion will be given the most weight if you are logged in with an account that already existed when the nomination was made. Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith.
Please vote only once. If there is evidence that someone is using sock puppets (multiple accounts belonging to the same person) to vote more than once, those votes will not be counted.

[edit] Barracuda atomic

(Find sources: "Barracuda atomic" — search, news, books, scholar, images )

I am nominating this as I have attempted a CSD in the past, but have been told this article is ineligible for a speedy delete, even for a stub article that does not indicates why this bicycle is notable.

Nominating this as individual bicycles are rarely notable unless for some reason, such as retrospective culture or have won a major sporting event, which in that case are highly likely to be custom bikes. In this case of this bicycle is none of these as when have a cheap full suspension bicycle ever became notable. Donnie Park (talk) 20:25, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

weak delete I see no particular evidence of notability myself. I removed the speedy tags because this was not without context, and does not fit the quite narrow confines of WP:CSD#A7. Therefore it should have wider community consensus for deletion. I don't quite agree with "when have a cheap full suspension bicycle ever became notable" -- "Schwinn" is sufficient answer. But that is perhaps covered under "retrospective culture" and is surely a somewhat exceptional case. Unless sources indicate some particular notability for this bike (and there might be printed sources not on the web for all i know) it should probably be deleted.

Procedural nomination. Article had an AfD nomination dated 8 September (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wet Dog) which I closed because it was a malformed nomination.

[edit] Sto k odnomu

(Find sources: "Sto k odnomu" — search, news, books, scholar, images )

non-notable Russian television show, only reference is in Russian, and is to a personal blog Newt ^(winkle) 18:27, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

I put the article into better English (seemed to have been translated by a bad robot). A game show that's been around for 15 years, and survived many switches of channel might be notable, even without any following in English media. Sussexonian (talk) 09:45, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Keep. There are plenty of reliable sources found by a Google News archive search in Cyrillic for the program title with the presenter's name.[1] I don't have time at the moment to sort out which ones to add to the article, but I'll try to get round to in in a couple of days. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:02, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

The only two references are to the Russian equivalent of YouTube, and there are no English-language references. This is English Wikipedia. Newt ^(winkle) 07:56, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

The "English" in "English Wikipedia" refers to the language in which the encyclopedia is written, not the language of the sources on which it is based or the nature of the subject matter. I agree that the references currently in the article are unreliable, but many of the sources found by the search that I linked above are reliable, and notability depends on the existence of sources, not their citation. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:11, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

My point is that you've claimed there are sources, but they are not in the article. The two YouTube-like cites are clearly not WP:RS. I can't tell whether the Cyrillic sites are RS or spam, but I have my doubts as to whether an obscure Russian TV program is notable. Newt ^(winkle) 17:21, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Whether the sources are in the article is irrelevant to the notability of the subject. I will get round to adding some to the article, but my Russian is rather rusty (it's about 30 years since I last used it in anger) so it will take me longer than it would if I was working with a language in which I am more proficient. The search results that I linked above include articles about this show in such sources as Российская Газета (Rossiyskaya Gazeta), Комсомольская правда (Komsomolskaya Pravda) and Аргументы и факты (Argumenty i Fakty). What makes you characterise a programme that has aired weekly for fifteen years on major national television channels in a country with a population of over 140 million as "obscure"?

[edit] Centericq

(Find sources: "Centericq" — search, news, books, scholar, images )

DELETE. Centericq appears to be a text mode chat client which is no longer in production. I searched and was able to find 6 matches on Google Books, but all of them were either strange Wikipedia mirrors or trivial passing mentions such as "Centericq - instant messenger client that allows feed reading" or "CenterICQ (more than just ICQ)" and nothing more. [2] Given that the software product has been discontinued, it seems unlikely that it will ever be receiving any significant coverage from reliable third party sources, but I'd like to bring this before the community to discuss rather than PROD it. JBsupreme (talk) 00:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Double Texas Hold'em

(Find sources: "Double Texas Hold'em" — search, news, books, scholar, images )

lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Only references that have been uncovered to date are press releases or blog entries. Contested prod RadioFan (talk) 18:10, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Looks like a recently invented commercial game that has not received coverage beyond press releases or very brief repetitions of the rules posted on the inventor site. Previous "references" were a worthless. We don't make articles just because someone invents a game one day. Additionally article created by a single purpose account that almost certainly has a conflict of interest. Maybe someday it will qualify for an article, but as of now does not. 2005 (talk) 00:11, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Daryl Youngblood

(Find sources: "Daryl Youngblood" — search, news, books, scholar, images )

This is a contested prod where the reasons given were Non-notable musician. See this Google. The prod was supported by the comment I can't find a reference that he has "5 National Number 1 hits and 9 top 10 singles." Furthermore, there is probably a COI here, as User:Duotonestudios created the article.

Based on this, we clearly need to discuss the article even though the prod can be overturned by request. Since I am simply the restoring admin and have done no due diligence I an offering no comment on the merits of this article. Spartaz ^Humbug! 09:40, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Delete, WP:HOAX. Not listed in the full cast and crew of Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?, and although a Daryl Youngblood seems to have a "Myspace band," this whole article is hogwash. Glenfarclas (talk) 10:07, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Delete this unreferenced BLP article please. This article has been tagged as BLP unreferenced since May 2009 and someone keeps re-introducing the same unsourced material over and over again. While I'm trying to assume good faith, I do have reason to suspect a WP:COI going on here. Google News did reveal a whopping 3 hits for this person [9] but nothing of substance at all. Not even close. JBsupreme (talk) 07:38, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Keep. You're searching the wrong database; a Billboard magazine search returns 109 hits dating back to 1993. Kupper is referred to variously as a "young Turk" and a "studio heavy". I am sure there is something enough in there to source a stub-class encyclopedia entry. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 07:52, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Regulatory feedback network

(Find sources: "Regulatory feedback network" — search, news, books, scholar, images )

The topic "regulatory feedback network" seems to be a neologism (or repurposed phrase) due to Achler (the phrase is also used generically in many sources, not in the sense meant in the topic of this article), who also created the article based on his recent articles. There are no secondary sources that use this term in his sense, as far as I can find, so no evidence that the concept is notable. Probably the concept deserves a paragraph in neural networks or some such place, not an article. See the talk page; the cited "secondary" sources do not seem to mention "regulatory feedback network" or anything similar. Dicklyon (talk) 08:39, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

It's been over a year and a half since the last AfD of this non-notable journal, which ended with no consensus. Created by the now indef-blocked User:AiritiPress, the article is, to put it bluntly, spam. No sources for notability.

Joe Chill, this is a significant hip-hop artist, several mainstream hits have included samples from his work. If you search for A.D.O.R. you will find many videos etc. I remember being shocked that there wasn't an article on A.D.O.R. a while ago. I think with a bit of help I can have a tidy little article.

Whats 'notability' then Joe? You can see he exists, you can see he's an influential. The amount of shit thats on wikipedia, obscure bands etc, shameless self promotion, and your telling me this guy doesn't deserve an article?

Add new AfD section

[edit] AfD footer

This section describes how to list for deletion articles and their associated talk pages. See the related pages for templates, categories, redirects, stub types, pages in the Wikipedia namespace, user pages, or images and other media, or use copyright violation where applicable. As well, note that deletion may not be needed for problems such as pages written in foreign languages, duplicate pages, and other cases.

Note: Users must be logged in to complete steps II and III. An unregistered user who wishes to nominate a page for deletion should complete step I, note his reason on the the article talk page, and then post a message at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion asking for a registered user to complete the nomination.

To list multiple related pages for deletion, see this page.

To list a single article for deletion, follow this three-step process:

I.

Put the deletion tag on the article.

Insert {{subst:afd1}} at the top of the article.

If nominated before, use {{subst:afdx|2nd}} or {{subst:afdx|3rd}} etc.

Do not mark the edit as minor.
Include in the edit summary
AfD: Nominated for deletion; see [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName]]
Replace NominationName with the name of the page as it was nominated.

The NominationName is normally the article name (PageName). But if it has been nominated before, use "PageName (2nd nomination)" or "PageName (3rd nomination)" etc.)

You can check the "Watch this page" box to follow the page in your watchlist. This allows you to notice if the AfD tag is removed.
Save the page.

II.

Create the article's deletion discussion page.

The resulting AfD box at the top of the article should contain a link to "Preloaded debate" in the AfD page.

Click that link to open the article's deletion discussion page. Some text and instructions will appear.
Give a reason for the deletion and a category for the debate (instructions are on that page).

OR

Click the link saying "this article's entry" to open the deletion-debate page.
Insert this text:
{{subst:afd2 | pg=PageName | cat=Category | text=Why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~
Replace PageName with the name of the page, Category with a letter from the list M, O, B, S, W, G, T, F, and P to categorize the debate, and Reason... with the reasons the page should be deleted.
Add a deletion sorting template to the nomination, if appropriate.
You can check "Watch this page" to follow the debate.
Use an edit summary such as Creating deletion discussion for [[PageName]]
Save the page.

III.

Notify users who monitor AfD discussion.

Open the articles for deletion log page.
At the top of the list on the log page (there's a comment indicating the spot), insert:
{{subst:afd3 | pg=NominationName}}
replacing NominationName appropriately (use "PageName", "PageName (2nd nomination)", etc.).
Link to the discussion page in your edit summary:
Adding [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName]]
Save the page. Your insertion will be expanded to the same form as the preceding lines in the file: {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName}}.
