Invalid criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia (see WP:INVALIDBIO). Claim to notability is through the subject's relationship with Nelly Furtado. Subject is not notable in his own right. UnkleFester (talk) 07:02, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Falls shy of WP:NBIO criteria. The Sound on Sound interview is promising, but I can't find any other sources that deal with the subject beyond his relationship with Nelly Furtado or his association with Timbaland. Colin M (talk) 20:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable per WP:SUBNOT. He should be a mention on Nelly Furtado's page Actaudio (talk) 06:52, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Per nom. A search shows most of his notability is from his marraige, with a few references to his work with Timbaland (only passing references). Britishfinance (talk) 20:02, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Does not meet WP:ORG notability requirements. Sourcing is provided by routine restaurant reviews. We cannot include every restaurant that gets a review. Rusf10 (talk) 04:17, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Companies-related deletion discussions. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:08, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Restaurant reviews are exactly the type of in-depth coverage in reliable sources that establish notability. If The New York Times thinks a restaurant is worth writing about, the restaurant is probably notable. Most restaurants do not receive the range and number of reviews that Elements has received. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:10, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Time and time again it is argued that because something has a article in the New York Times, it must be notable. I have yet to see this policy granting auto-notability to anything that can be sourced to the New York Times. The fact is the New York Times regularly covers New Jersey and this falls under WP:AUD--Rusf10 (talk) 17:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Yes, we can include every restaurant that is sourced as that's our policy, "Other than verifiability ... there is no practical limit to the number of topics Wikipedia can cover or the total amount of content." Andrew D. (talk) 14:30, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- As usual, the nothing should be deleted argument.--Rusf10 (talk) 17:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Commment. If it wasn't for the Forbes article ranking it 35 in the top 100 U.S. restaurants I would be advocating delete as all other references are local (NJ is a local area of the NYT). To be meet WP:GNG, it needs at least one more major non-NY source (e.g. Washington Post, Los Angeles Times), OR to appear in another major top restaurants in America list. I could not find any. If we had an LA equivalent who only appeared in the local LA papers and the LA times (and a Forbes list), would it meet GNG. Maybe not. Remain open-minded. Britishfinance (talk) 15:07, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- In case it affects your opinion, I just want to point out that the Forbes source is not written by a staff member or published in a print issue. Forbes.com "contributors" have been judged generally unreliable. Colin M (talk) 19:49, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Good point Colin, the Forbes article is basically the equivalent of an opinion column. And much more importantly, it is nothing more than a listing, there is no in depth coverage of the restaurant in Forbes.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:05, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- No, it's an bad point because it appears that the Forbes article hasn't been properly read or understood and so its content is misrepresented. The article in Forbes is not one person's listicle. It's a review of a list published elsewhere and that list was based on a survey of 70,000 places by about 3000 food experts. The exercise covered the entire USA and was organised by Steve Plotnicki who is quite a reputable pundit. Andrew D. (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- Doesn't matter how many people were polled, its still a list, not significant coverage as required by WP:GNG.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:04, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Reliable sources do review it, that's how you determine if a restaurant is notable. Dream Focus 03:04, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Virtually every restaurant, especially finer dining, has been reviewed by local sources – this does not mean it is notable. Wikipedia is not Yelp and such local content does not guarantee inclusion. Wikipedia not being paper is not a blanket excuse to keep anything in routine local coverage. Reywas92Talk 20:38, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Its not just coverage it gets in New Jersey, it also gets coverage in New York, and Forbes magazine even mentions it. Dream Focus 22:44, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- New York city is right next to Jersey, it's still local coverage. The Forbes article is nothing more than a list, it is not in-depth coverage and therefore cannot contribute to notability. --Rusf10 (talk) 09:19, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- A city of 8 million people is next to a state of 9 million people, so you consider that local coverage? Dream Focus 11:38, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- New York city is right next to Jersey, it's still local coverage. The Forbes article is nothing more than a list, it is not in-depth coverage and therefore cannot contribute to notability. --Rusf10 (talk) 09:19, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Having considered this further (re my comments above), this restaurant is a ghost outside of the New York area; the Forbes list is not a recognised list of greatest U.S. restaurants (and it is just Forbes.com which is not Forbes), and Elements is missing in the main U.S-wide lists (e.g. here, here, here, here). In fact, I could not find Elements in any main U.S. top 50 to 100 restaurant list (never mind global top 100 restaurants). Why would WP keep an article on a notable New York restaurant that is unknown outside of the NY area? Britishfinance (talk) 20:19, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde (Talk) 03:37, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Oof. So borderline. Feeling pretty neutral at this point. I do want to push back against the idea that a full review in the New York Times can be written off as "local". It's the newspaper of record for an area with the population of a mid-sized country and has a large readership outside of that area that sources we label "local" in the dismissive sense don't have. It's not a small town paper that reviews everything. It has little short reviews and full reviews, and this one received the latter. The notability that comes with that sort of review is why the most destined-to-be-notable restaurants open there -- because they can increase that notability much more easily there. TL;DR it's not fair, but a NYT review of something just counts for more than a review of something in the Bangor Daily News (sorry, Maine), because it covers a huge population, has to be a lot more selective, and has a wide reach. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. For illustration, there are reportedly more than 26,000 restaurants in the NYC.[1] I don't know how many there are in New Jersey, but I suppose 5,000 may be a good guess. I'd say 99% of them won't receive any coverage in secondary sources, and very, very few of them will receive coverage on the level this article currently has. (Which is considerable even if restaurant rankings and reviews are excluded.) By their nature, restaurants are predominantly local businesses - Princeton, New Jersey is hardly a tourist locale - and I don't think coverage on the national level is necessary to establish notability. GregorB (talk) 11:39, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment That NYT article is about a different restaurant? Is this a bad link, or did the restaurant change names, or what? valereee (talk) 12:48, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Seems to be a review for another restaurant owned by the same owners -- it is a bare mention of Elements. I'm removing that source from the article. valereee (talk) 12:50, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. Very good spot Valereee. The case for Elements is now just ILIKEIT; not even a notable NY-area restaurant. Britishfinance (talk) 14:50, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Particularly poor spot, Valereee and Britishfinance. :P Go to the article. Look for the only NYT source. Click it. It's a review of Elements... — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:55, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Rhododendrites, wow, that must have been a lack of coffee issue...I would have sworn I checked to see if there were any other NYT article listed! So sorry! valereee (talk) 18:34, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Regardless, I still can't believe a single NY Times restaurant review makes this notable.WP:GNG requires significant coverage in multiple sources. Would someone please show me what policy says that everything the New York Times covers must be notable? Every other sources presented is indisputably local, so how have we come to the conclusion that the restaurant is notable based on one source alone?--Rusf10 (talk) 18:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Delete with the removal of the NYT article, I this falls to non-notable for me.valereee (talk) 12:53, 27 February 2019 (UTC)- Keep - I'm on the fence, but mainly to counterbalance the particularly poor delete arguments based on (a) the incorrect statement that the NYT article is not about this subject, (b) the idea that major papers in a 20-million-person metropolitan area is "local coverage", and (c) something about it not being on top lists of restaurants, which isn't part of our notability guidelines. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:00, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Sourcing is adequate to establish notability. The 2010 New York Times piece is clearly about this restaurant:
Elements, all glass, stone and metal, offers a range of dishes, at fair prices, like chicken liver pâté
;Opened in October 2008 by Stephen Distler and Scott Anderson, the chef, it is a few blocks off the tourist magnet of the Nassau-Witherspoon intersection.
The 2013 review is about another restaurant opened by the same pair, and it only gives elements a brief mention, but I don't see why that mention should be excised, either. Following up one business success with another is a reasonable thing to cover in an article about the restaurant business. XOR'easter (talk) 17:16, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Fails notability under WP:ORG. Was previously deleted multiple times. Rusf10 (talk) 04:08, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep The previous AFD was in 2006. The topic appears notable and the current article is extensively sourced including numerous sources later than 2006. It appears to meet wp:GNG. What previous "multiple times" are you referring to? --Doncram (talk) 07:20, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - Playing devil's advocate: the page could be said not to pass WP:AUD because the coverage is all "local". However, WP:AUD is a garbage guideline that should be ignored - according to what it says even companies that have received coverage in Andorran newspapers fulfil WP:AUD but ones given coverage in "local" press of much larger areas do not fulfil WP:AUD. Additionally I see coverage at nj.com which counts as "state-wide" coverage. There might also be said to be WP:PROMO issues with this page, but I think it's as balanced as it can be. Finally I suppose it might be said to be purely WP:MILL or even WP:ROUTINE but I think the fact it's popular with students at Princeton and to some extent appears to be a cultural phenomenon to them just about gets it over the bar on that. EDIT: To state the obvious the 2006 delete decision wasn't based on policy, since the relevant policies barely existed then, and should therefore be ignored for the purposes of this discussion. FOARP (talk) 13:18, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Just because you don't like WP:AUD doesn't mean it can just be ignored. If you really think its a "garbage guideline", then purpose that it be changed. Until then, we will follow it.--Rusf10 (talk) 17:20, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Nah, we can decide in a AFD or RFC not to apply a particular policy, and this isn't even a policy - it's a guideline. There's a reason why WP:AUD got turned down for general application. FOARP (talk) 19:06, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- That's a really poor argument. See WP:ONLYGUIDELINE. If you actually have a legitimate reason why the guideline should not apply to this article, explain why. But telling me the guideline is garbage or that you can just arbitrarily choose to ignore it is moronic.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:02, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- Please refrain from making personal attacks. I've stated my reasons for thinking that WP:AUD should not apply - because it is a poor guideline that delivers illogical and inconsistent results (coverage in Andorran media = notable, coverage in London city media = not notable). FOARP (talk) 08:24, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- That's not a personal attack, that's a direct criticism of your argument. If you don't like the guideline, then purpose that it be changed. We have guidelines for a reason, they are not to be ignored.--Rusf10 (talk) 18:07, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

- Keep "It is a legend" and the article just needs updating to record that it's now a chain. Andrew D. (talk) 14:35, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- One paragraph in a book on Princeton does very little to establish notability.--Rusf10 (talk) 17:20, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Enough is as good as a feast. Personally, I wouldn't want one of their hoagies because they seem too large and overloaded. Anyway, here's another good source The New York Times. Andrew D. (talk) 10:08, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- but the New York Times has been determined to be an enemy of the state, or similar, I believe, so Wikipedia should probably not consider that a valid source. :( --Doncram (talk) 01:52, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

It would be incredibly difficult to evaluate the notability of this kind of article (ie, an academic-like person who isn't affiliate with a university) without some assistance.

They are all on JSTOR. I haven't had a chance to summarize them all yet. Examples [4], [5], [6]. Psychologist Guy (talk) 03:52, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep on the basis of these articles at Google Scholar. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:58, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep -- This is a respectable list of publications. I have not investigated the articles, but having 3 books reviewed in a secular journal suggests notability. The article would be better for being located at his full name, with present initial title as a as a redirect. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- "D. J. B. Hawkins" is fine per WP:COMMONNAME: it's more natural, less cumbersome, the form used on books and the preferred form at several national databases per VIAF and WorldCat. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:38, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:ANYBIO#3: prior inclusion in at least two encyclopedias (the New Catholic Encyclopedia and the Continuum Encyclopedia of British Philosophy) is evidence of WP:GNG. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:06, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- What primary sources are being referred to here? In the article at the time of nomination there were two encyclopedias and three book reviews cited, none of which are primary sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:16, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- @I dream of horses: can you explain what primary sources are on the article? I am not a fan of primary sources and rarely ever add them. I did not add any on this article. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:42, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Psychologist Guy: Looking at the article again, it seems that I mistaken in thinking that were primary sources (I misread some of the inline citations). I would withdraw the nomination, but it looks like a snow keep is pretty much inevitable. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 08:34, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Ah that's no problem. I see from your edits you are busy on Wikipedia and you do a lot of good work here. Admittedly I only started the article as a stub more references need to be added. I will add more references later today. Psychologist Guy (talk) 11:43, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

- Comment I haven't searched yet for sources elsewhere, but, of the sources cited in the article, all but two were either written by one of the company's founders or obituaries for Barry Becher. Of the last two, one of them is behind a paywall and the other mentions neither PriMedia nor its original name, Dial Media (though it does mention the Dial-o-matic—wow, that takes me back).

- Move to Dial Media. There does seem to be significant coverage of this company under its earlier incarnation (Dial Media) which goes beyond what's covered in the Ginsu article. The Barry Belcher obituary reference (from ABC News/WaPo/LA Times) is solid in terms of establishing the company's significance to the history of infomercials, and in talking about products/endeavours other than Ginsu. Another interesting source (not currently cited) is this 1983 NYT piece reporting on Dial Media's involvement with the Democratic Presidential campaign. "Primedia" may technically be a new name for the same company, but it seems to be engaged in a substantially different business activity and its activities since the switch to media buying and rename have not attracted any coverage. The article should be rewritten to reflect a focus on the Dial Media era. Colin M (talk) 19:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

- Delete I am unable to locate a single reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability, references are mainly Primary sources failing WP:ORGIND or mentions in passing failing WP:CORPDEPTH. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 19:16, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

- Merge to Silverbridge, County Armagh. The Silverbridge incident itself is already covered in detail in Donnelly's Bar and Kay's Tavern attacks. It’s worth including a brief mention in the Silverbridge article but there’s no reason for this stub to exist in its own. Mccapra (talk) 05:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Merge to Silverbridge, County Armagh. Concur with the merge of two stubs. Icewhiz (talk) 10:17, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Silverbridge, County Armagh. Per nom. And WP:MERGEREASON ("page is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time"; 13 years seems like a "reasonable amount of time". As the content hasn't been expanded beyond a bullet or so in that time, it seems appropriate to merge that bullet elsewhere...) Guliolopez (talk) 11:36, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

The result was keep. The consensus is that the article's references are worthy enough for the subject to pass WP:GNG. (non-admin closure) Jovanmilic97 (talk) 11:41, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Her notability is well-supported by the article's references. Further substantial coverage is easily discoverable via a Google search. Colin M (talk) 18:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep One proof of her notable acting career was the Pride of Performance Award by the President of Pakistan back in 1981 which is already supported by a major Pakistani newspaper reference at this article. In addition, this article already has 8 references - 3 major English-language newspapers from Pakistan and a reference from The Times of India. I am convinced this article is worth keeping.
