The Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable private collection lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Unable to establish independent, verifiable, secondary reliable sources for the article. Fails to establish WP:N.  ttonyb (talk) 14:59, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment – Before having the article deleted, I think it's wise to have an editor with at least five or more years of experience, plus an administrator if possible, get involved in this discussion. I really don't see where the page The Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection isn't notable, and particularly that there aren't verifiable primary (or secondary, for that matter) sources for his collection.  I think the bibliographical section should be expanded to more clearly show verification. Timeinabottle8615 (talk) 20:44, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment – Please note that "real-world" notability differs from Wikipedia based notability. Wikipedia based notability is established by meeting the criteria in WP:N or an associated notability article.  The article currently lacks independent, verifiable, secondary reliable sources and it appears there are no such references available.  If you are aware of the existence such references, please provide them.   You comment that expansion of the individual's bio will verify the article is not valid – the individual might be notable, but  notability is not inherited.   ttonyb  (talk) 22:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not at all convinced that notability has been established here, despite the long list of references which merely mention the collection - or rather its artifacts - in passing. I am also concerned about the ongoing promotional/COI issues here. --DAJF (talk) 00:24, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
