Requesting deletion per WP:NOTE and WP:ORG (with respect to the school), as no sources are independent (they are all interviews of or remarks by the supposed originator of the term). A search did not find any results which showed coverage with substantial depth. Thylacine222 (talk) 04:58, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Merge to Al Giordano. The references and other sources in Google news search almost make this topic notable - but not quite. It is unfortunate because it is an interesting school of thought. I am thinking some alternate-newspapers (the weeklies) are probably closest to this type of journalism - and some are not. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 06:10, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I had PRODded this with the rationale "Does not pass WP:CORP or WP:N only one of the sources is about the company, the rest are columns by company employees. No significant coverage for the finding either." The article was deleted but then restored after that as a contested PROD.

You would have thought an orchestra with such an illustrious title would be an easy article to improve, but that turns out not to be the case. In fact, I came up with a complete blank when searching for truly independent sources for the orchestra aside from a few passing mentions in some Portuguese news pieces (and even then I'm not sure as to what quality of news that is), and I have to wave a white flag and declare it "unrepairable".

List of non-notable video game characters is WP:GAMEGUIDE material and fails WP:VGSCOPE No. 6: " Standalone lists of video game characters are expected to be written in an out-of-universe style with a focus on their concept, creation, and reception, and cited by independent, secondary sources to verify this information." While there are plenty of news articles that mention that new characters are added to an upcoming game, none give any of the information crucial for a stand-alone list. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:32, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Keep failure to comply with MOS expectations is not a reason for deletion, but rather for cleanup. Citing an MOS in a deletion nomination is explicit acknowledgement that if an article were cleaned up appropriately that the nominator believes it would be encyclopedic. Jclemens (talk) 18:08, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
@Jclemens: That you don't agree with me is fine, but that you're suggesting that I actually do believe this to be of encyclopedic nature is inappropriate. I have to ask you not to twist my words or motivations. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 03:55, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
If you're citing an MOS in a deletion rationale, then you are asserting that the associated problems are not that it's not encyclopedic, but that it's presented wrong. If you don't believe that it's encyclopedic at all, then you can feel free to strike your MOS-based arguments. This isn't meant as an insult to your motivations, but rather pointing out the contradiction inherent in your argument. See also WP:UGLY. Jclemens (talk) 04:30, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi @Jclemens:, I was on my phone earlier, which is pain when replying. When I say "non-notable" I mean it fails WP:N. Did I really had to point to that guideline? I did specifically pointed to WP:GAMEGUIDE, which says what Wikipedia is not. WP:VGSCOPE starts off with "Below is a list of content that is generally considered beyond the scope of information of Wikipedia articles on video games and related video game topics". If I say that this list of characters is "beyond the scope of information" of WP:VG, how am I saying it can be improved? I don't take it as an insult, I see it as WP:UNCIVIL behaviour to say that I believe something else that I'm saying. Could you also point to the guideline or essay that says "Citing an MOS in a deletion nomination is explicit acknowledgement that if an article were cleaned up appropriately that the nominator believes it would be encyclopedic"? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 10:45, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
You'll note that both the MOS:VG shortcut and the navigation box on the right of that page include the article guidelines as a "manual of style" issue. In short, there is no way you can legitimately refer to WP:VGSCOPE in an article deletion discussion, because style guidelines only apply to things that SHOULD be kept at AfD, and failing any style guideline is not cause for deletion, only cleanup. You've now had and acknowledged your opportunity to remove it, so a closing admin can and should disregard your nomination entirely as not arguing for deletion.
Furthermore, you cite WP:GAMEGUIDE, but show no evidence of having read it and applied it to this specific situation. Character lists and plot elements are not covered in that, but only gameplay matters, if I can oversimplify it a bit. I'm sorry if you feel that me educating you about the shortcoming of your nomination is WP:UNCIVIL, but I have done nothing but politely point out the inherent contradiction in your own argument. I don't think you're any less of a person or editor because you're wrong, and if you got that impression, then I unreservedly apologize for it. Still, I will not insult your intelligence by presuming that you can't figure out why a manual of style issue is only applicable to material appropriate to be kept in the encyclopedia. Jclemens (talk) 14:13, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Merge to Sengoku_Basara#Characters. The very little that is sourced can be sufficiently covered in the parent article. These articles should not be split unless warranted by the sources. Please {{ping}} me and others if you find more sources to consider. czar 23:21, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Continuum expression of the first law of thermodynamics[edit]

Continuum expression of the first law of thermodynamics (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: "Continuum expression of the first law of thermodynamics" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · HighBeam · JSTOR · free images · free news sources · The Wikipedia Library · NYT · WP reference)

There is no indication that the continuum form of the first law of thermodynamics is notable in the sense of warranting a stand-alone article. All of the forms of the first law of thermodynamics can be included, with appropriate references, in the main article. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:55, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment. That's not a matter for AfD. You can merge the disputed article into the main article with no special process, and see if anyone opposes it, or more cautiously you can open a merge discussion at the articles in question. --Trovatore (talk) 01:04, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep. I think this AfD is very premature. If it is to be merged anywhere, content involving the continuum form of the first law probably belongs in the article Navier-Stokes equation rather than first law of thermodynamics. I don't really think it belongs in the latter article at all, simply because the second article is just the wrong audience for continuum mechanics. But in any case, currently neither article discusses this equation (at least in connection with the first law, Navier-Stokes equation is a bit of a mess, so it's hard to tease out exactly what is going on there). I don't see any harm in having a separate stub where this content can be improved upon. Furthermore, notability is clearly established by sources like the two standard textbooks on fluid mechanics that are now cited in the article. Sławomir Biały (talk) 01:06, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
