Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of iOS jailbreaking (2nd nomination)
mdash;it seems that there is no wp policy for timelines in particular.  the next closest thing i can think of is a list, since a timeline is essentially a list of events in the history of a given topic.  so it seems reasonable to look to the list guidelines for guidance.  oh, look!  actually says that timelines are lists. this brings us to , which states that ''A list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources''.  this seems to me to be obviously the case for this topic, given sources in the article and many, many more that are available elsewhere.  the nominator doesn't actually seem to make any claims about notability in nominating statement, but instead worries that the article can't exist without violations of .  first of all, that seems to be untrue given the refs in the article and many more available.  second of all, it's not plausible that there are topics such that *any* article on them *must* be a violation of wp:v.  if there are individual statements in this article which aren't verified, fix them or delete them.  third, even if there were such topics, it's irrelevant in an afd.  all notability policies boil down to the question of whether there are reliable sources that show the notability of the topic.  if a subject intrinsically fails wp:v, presumably this will never be the case, so it's really not relevant as to whether the article should be deleted.&mdash
