Hip pop

A topic of disputed notability. Needs improvement and RS. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:43, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

NuttX RTOS

A lengthy AfD discussion is occurring for this article. Perhaps this WikiProject can help to improve the article and provide more reliable sources to better qualify the topic's notability. Northamerica1000(talk) 03:00, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

The Babies

The article is up for vote right now. The band is notable, with sources from The New York Times, New York Observer, and New York Magazine. There seems to be some bias against the group because it isn't some sort of stadium filling act, but an independent garage rock band.Thriley (talk) 06:12, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Please explain further how you think the article can be improved. This WikiProject is not about !voting at AfD discussions, so clarification is necessary. Thanks for your consideration. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:13, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
There is plenty of information from reliable sources to improve the band history. I would do it myself, but I don't have very much time to do it over the next few days. I am worried that it will be deleted before I can improve it. I am asking for assistance in improving the band history. Good sources are provided on the article page.Thriley (talk) 07:21, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying your stance, it is appreciated. Northamerica1000(talk) 09:37, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Northamerica1000, that isn't necessary and never has been. Anyone asking for assistance here obviously believes an article to be notable, and wants help find references to prove it. Dream Focus 08:42, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the input. The person did help to clarify what could use improvement within the article, though, and many reliable sources were already present in the article in it's (former) Further reading section (now titled "Additional sources") at the time of the post here. Hence, it didn't appear that a request for source searching was implied in the listing here, because many were already existent in the article. Best, Northamerica1000(talk) 09:40, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

1/0 (web comic)

Renomination of webcomic by same guy, all arguments the same as previous. Debate on whether an award featured in the New York Times and elsewhere is notable. Dream Focus 11:11, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

The Whiteboard

A nominator is renominating various webcomics he previously sent to AFD. This one had notable coverage found in the first two AFDs already. Dream Focus 10:57, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Last Res0rt

A webcomic which by webcomic standards I think is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. One decent reference found already. Dream Focus 23:47, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

John Mason (schoolmaster)

This is a stub article on a living person who has served as the headmaster of some of India's most prestigious and important schools. I've not yet had time to check for sources but it seems inconceivable that it's not possible to write an encyclopaedic article about such a person, though sources for India are obviously much less comprehensive than those for the UK. Regardless of sourcing it is important to maintain a balance of articles on Wikipedia to counter the inherent Wikipedia:Systemic bias. If anyone has time to help to help out and find sources for this article it would be much appreciated. Dahliarose (talk) 11:15, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Gabriel Pizza

The article needs more sources to establish topic notability. Northamerica1000(talk) 11:23, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Mitt Romney Cranbrook incident

Someone decided the issue needed expansion, too much to fit in the main article, so on the Mitt Romney talk page said they create this for it. Valid content fork? I've been working on fixing some of the information to get the whole story. Some help would be appreciated. Dream Focus 15:22, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I am the editor that saw this issue was too big to fit comfortably on existing pages which were already long. My goal has been to keep with the objectives of Wikipedia and carefully negotiate between those that wish to squash anything bad about a candidate that they support, and those that wish to blow up anything bad to support an opposing candidate. This subject is too big to hide and has filled hundreds of newspapers on the front page and not showing this article is censorship. The newspaper reporters that worked on this article were carefully reviewed and everything written reviewed by a David Maraniss. Please return this page along with cross links to page Mitt Romney and Mitt Romney 2012 campaign.Pbmaise (talk) 02:50, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
There is enough valid information to fill in its own article. Its a valid content fork. And the current version of the article is rather nicely done. It wouldn't all fit properly in a different article. Dream Focus 03:38, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
