Silver Cup (band): The most noteworthy coverage the group has received is the interview in V Magazine . The rest of the sources are student and community newspapers that probably do not meet the reliable sources bar. Iago Qnsi ( talk ) 22:50, 24 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep As the creator, I'd personally disagree. The coverage in V Magazine , their entry in the SLC public library , and coverage in local papers meets WP:SIGCOV in my eyes (criteria 1 of WP:BAND ). I get that the bar must be high, but I caution from putting it too high. WP:RS doesn't exclude local sources (or even university articles, with the caveat of WP:BAND criteria 1), just says that you must verify a level of editorial standards. 🏵️ Etrius ( Us ) 23:11, 24 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Utah . – Laundry Pizza 03 ( d c̄ ) 01:47, 25 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I support keeping it as there is enough news coverage to meet notability.

Trap (carriage): This page only defines the term Trap (as a carriage). The only reference is to a phrase finder.

JML1148 ( talk | contribs ) 23:50, 24 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I added some references that are way more than a dictionary definition. They cover a range of designs for traps. Eastmain ( talk • contribs ) 15:05, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] So you added six sources to verify the dictionary definition in the article, but the deletion proposal is not based on any doubt that a pony-trap is a type of carriage. The problem with this article is it is very clearly just a dictionary definition, and Wikipedia is the wrong wikiproject for that. I also note that your sources include two glossaries of terms (just reinforcing WP:NOTDICT arguments), a for-sale listing of a trap, and a stock photo of a trap. I suppose these were all added to reinforce the fact that such carriages are called traps, but they are not WP:RS (clearly) and they are reinforcing something over which there is no doubt. The article still fails per WP:NOTDICT . Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 19:05, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] No. It is more than just a dictionary definition. Consider Coupe or Pickup truck . Both are types of motor vehicle, but there are many variations of both. The same is true of Trap (carriage) . Eastmain ( talk • contribs ) 05:18, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep This seems to be a nomination based purely on a current thin state of a stub article and that is not the point of DICDEF. The word is widely used, at least in "pony and trap" as both vehicle and propulsion. Yet what is a "trap"? Does it have 2 wheels or 4? How does it differ from other types of cart? What was it used for? We may not be there as yet, but there is certainly scope here for an encyclopedic article more than a DICDEF, just as we've done for other cart and carriage types. Andy Dingley ( talk ) 11:23, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , per WP:HEY . The article now passes WP:GNG per the included sources. There is probably scope for a general reorganisation of all of the articles on similar types of carriages, but there is no particular reason to delete this page.

McKinsey Quarterly: Mimi Ho Kora ( talk ) 22:37, 10 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Can you please explain how this is self-promotion, an advert, and out-of-date? Curbon7 ( talk ) 22:49, 10 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Being promotional (advert) or out-of-date are reasons to improve the article, not delete it. -- Randykitty ( talk ) 05:58, 11 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep : the sources (particularly the Financial Times source) establish that this a highly influential magazine within its circles. The magazine meets WP:BKCRIT criteron #1 as it has been the subject of multiple newspaper articles independent of itself. It doesn't matter that McKinsey sponsors this publication for its own ulterior motives; the magazine has still had a notable impact in its own right. The fact that the magazine itself is self-promotion; is a separate issue to whether this wiki entry is self-promotion. I've made some edits to bring it more in line with NPOV. Jack4576 ( talk ) 11:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There surely is a self-promotion aspect to McKinsey's publishing this periodical, but nonetheless it gets sufficient outside attention to regard it as notable.

Death of Anatoly Klyan: WP:BIO1E says: When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, and little or no other information is available to use in the writing of a balanced biography, an independent article may not be needed.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 05:19, 14 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep But this article, Death of Anatoly Klyan , is about the event, as recommended by WP:BIO1E . The event is clearly notable as evidenced in the article. Thincat ( talk ) 22:10, 14 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . You are saying 'Journalist Dying' is a major role in the event 'Death of Journalist', which is obvious an can be said about pretty much any WP:NOTNEWS topic. Also, from WP:EVENTCRIT : Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths , celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena ) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. All the sources in the article are from exactly June 30, 2014, so it has no lasting coverage. And like written above, deaths/crimes/political news are not notable "unless something further gives them additional enduring significance". बिनोद थारू ( talk ) 06:18, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep WP:BIO1E is already refuted above. And this article clearly passes WP:GNG . And his death isn't just one of those "most deaths" mentioned; it provoked a global response - from the Russian government and UNESCO. That, plus the scope of reporting was global, which WP:EVENTCRIT says helps the case for an article. PhotogenicScientist ( talk ) 14:44, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] [...] the scope of reporting was global, which WP:EVENTCRIT says helps the case for an article The reporting was exactly during one day , June 30, 2014. No more articles after that. Saying "it helps the case" words things in a way as to not consider the other majority of WP:EVENTCRIT which it clearly fails. Namely: 1. Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect. 2. Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below). 3. Events having lesser coverage or more limited scope may or may not be notable; the descriptions below provide guidance to assess the event. 4. Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. Looking at things, not much "helps the case for an article", per WP:EVENTCRIT . बिनोद थारू ( talk ) 02:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] And you're accusing ME of wikilawyering... In any case, 2. Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources is satisfied by the multitude of different RS cited for this article - from The Guardian to Al Jazeera. PhotogenicScientist ( talk ) 04:30, 20 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You are saying it meets a single point of WP:EVENTCRIT (as a journalist death covered by major outlets for one day) yet you haven't explained why that makes it also pass 1, 3, 4 (all requiring lasting coverage, which it obviously doesn't have). बिनोद थारू ( talk ) 05:40, 20 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep It's not a biographical article, It is completely fine to keep the article under the present title and scope. Segaton ( talk ) 05:01, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment .

Catherine Willows: Just because an actor won an award for the portrayal of the character doesn't mean the character themselves are notable. A quick Google search doesn't give many sources to prove the character's notability. I may be wrong, thus this AfD nomination. Spinixster (chat!) 14:41, 21 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements , Science fiction and fantasy , and Television . Spinixster (chat!) 14:41, 21 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Beyond those listed in the article, I found sources on this character in USA Today , Deadline , CBS , ET , CBR (also here ), Screenrant , The Wrap , Collider , and Slate . And that is a preliminary search. I'd imagine there are even more sources out there on her, and think this search only scratches the surface. Historyday01 ( talk ) 16:07, 21 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep coverage meets GNG, what's more likely needed here is a plot summary trim or condensation, not deletion. Jclemens ( talk ) 16:37, 21 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I knew we'd eventually get to this considering the trim of CSI characters. However, Catherine actually has a lot of WP:SIGCOV per Historyday01's sources. Ideally, the article can be fixed a bit, but AfD requires a WP:BEFORE search. On whether the article reaches WP:GNG , well the plot summary can be trimmed to include character growth and any reliable recaps. Conyo14 ( talk ) 04:47, 22 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect . The reception section in the article is bad. Awards are for the actor, not character, then we have listicles / trivial recognition like "number 82 on Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters" and some pasing comments about her from some episode reviews. This takes me to the soruces found above (from Historyday01), who did not however provide any analysis nor suggest they did anything but WP:GOOGLEHITS report. USAToday is a WP:INTERVIEW with the actor about the character, which means issues with independence. deadline is a short piece about her coming back to the show. So-so. CBS reads like a press release. Sorry, I don't have time to review more sources, but they are not impressive, and I distincly note they are not scholarly but rather at celebrity media level or worse. It is onus on those voting keep to argue there is reliable SIGCOV, not throw a list of links and imply they may or may not be helpful here. This is bad AFD practice. The character may be notable, but nobody has estabilished this, the article does not do it, sources presented here that I reviewed are bad. For now, my vote is to redirect this to the list of characters. Ping me if someone wants to argue there are good sources here to improve this with and I'll reconsider my vote. But right now the sources found seem weak. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 06:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep on the grounds that large numbers of people are likely to want information on this character and come here looking for it.

That was neat. I observe that "It's useful/useless" applies to arguments for keeping/deleting unencyclopedic content, which this is not, and it advises participants to say why the information is useful, which I did. But thank you for keeping me on my toes. Good to stay sharp! Hm, but the fact that you said it might mean that my "why" wasn't clear enough for you. I will improve it! Catherine Willows was one of the most popular and long-lasting characters on what was in its day one of the most popular shows in the United States to the point at which the CSI effect changed the way our legal system works, and very large numbers of people will be interested in finding reliable, encyclopedically written, out-of-universe information about her and will come here to find it. To address what @ Spinixster : says, they'll come here specifically because Wikipedia is not Fandom. Darkfrog24 ( talk ) 00:29, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Darkfrog24 I am very confused about what you said. Even if the series is very popular, if the character is not notable on their own, they do not warrant a page on Wikipedia. See WP:FICTION . Spinixster (chat!) 08:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, but Jclemens and Conyo14 already showed that she is notable on her own. Once the article passes that threshold, we consider things like whether its existence serves Wikipedia's readership. Darkfrog24 ( talk ) 21:38, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] They just agreed with what Historyday said, they did not show that she is notable on her own. I already did an assessment of the sources Historyday has provided below, which you have seen.

Thanks, Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:30, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The resources linked by Historyday generally point towards constituting significant coverage. Admittedly, to go through the rest of the sources, the amount of independence does go back and forth throughout the list. The source of "The Wrap" is mainly an interview with the actor, and the "ET" source also includes an interview segment with the character's actress as well, meaning those portions are not completely independent. But even then, the rest of the sources do seem to talk about the character individually, and also create notability for Catherine on her own. The article also supplements this with the actress's thoughts during interviews, which can't be really used as "independent sources", but there's enough there in regards to independence throughout the segments focused solely on the character. As for the reception, it does seem appropriate to include accolades the actress won because the actress and character are effectively linked, so I would maintain it. Utopes ( talk / cont ) 03:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The sources provided by Historyday01 above pass SIGCOV and she is notable enough to have her own article. The article just needs some fixing. Flutter Dash 344 ( talk ) 03:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment As the nominator, I'd like to do an evaluation on the sources that Historyday provided myself. USA Today, ET and TheWrap are interviews, and thus do not prove notability. CBS is the actor's biography: notice how the url says "csi-vegas/cast/216685/" and CSI is a CBS show. First ScreenRant article talks about the show, CSI: Vegas, rather than the character. Obviously, for a major character, she will be mentioned a lot in articles relating to the show, but that does not prove notability of the individual character ( MOS:TRIVIA , WP:NOTTVTROPES ) Second ScreenRant article talks about how the aforementioned spinoff of CSI has "wasted" the character. While it does focus on the character's storylines, I don't see how this proves that the character is notable. (also MOS:TRIVIA , WP:NOTTVTROPES ) CBR is similar to the second ScreenRant article. Deadline and Collider are similar to the second ScreenRant article, but about the character's return to the new series. Slate is an opinion piece about the character, which can be used for the Reception section, but other than that is not enough to prove the character's individual notability. I would like to remind you that just because the show is notable doesn't mean that the major characters are. Just because there are multiple sources about the character's appearances on the show does not mean that the character is inherently notable; this is something I've learned myself. I want future voters to keep this in mind before making a decision. Spinixster (chat!) 10:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Excellent summary. I found a few hits on Google Scholar. I added one to the article and listed the others on the talk page. Darkfrog24 ( talk ) 22:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the first article I cannot access without paying :(, the third article is a just a mention, the fourth one is also not significant coverage. However, the second article is quite interesting and at least passes a partial if not all the way. It comes from the Texas State Library as a peer-reviewed journal: Journal of Research on Women and Gender . Granted the entire article discusses crimes against women as portrayed by the show vs the crimes against men and then analyzes the issues, but it does use Catherine Willows attack against her as a prime example. Conyo14 ( talk ) 23:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thanks for using what access you have to evaluate the sources that I couldn't reach. I was expecting that they wouldn't all be hits. Darkfrog24 ( talk ) 23:57, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Darkfrog24 Since it seems like you would be interested in improving the article, I would recommend checking out MOS:FICTION . In short, it should have more information about the real-life aspects of the character and less WP:CRUFT . The article also lacks references. If you need more examples, check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Fictional characters/Quality content . Spinixster (chat!) 08:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's not clear how you find this article to deviate from MOS:FICTION. Which issue causes you to believe that the article should be deleted? Right now, improvements should focus on keeping its head above water rather than perfecting the swim stroke. Darkfrog24 ( talk ) 15:43, 30 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Darkfrog24 Perhaps you should re-read what I said. I was just saying that because you were interested in improving the article, I did not say it was needed, but it would be preferred. I did a WP:BEFORE search and many of the results were much like the sources Historyday has given, so I started an AfD debate to debate on whether or not the article is notable. I have said in the nomination that I may be wrong, I never said I was correct. Spinixster (chat!) 15:50, 31 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

VFL Development League: The seven references currently present are a handful of WP:ROUTINE sources describing a couple of key moments in this league's 90-year history; but there is no non-database reference which describes this league in any significant or holistic way. From my extensive experience editing on articles about the VFA/VFL seniors (this article covers the reserves team for that league), I do not believe the necessary SIGCOV exists, and even Fiddian, Marc (2004); The VFA; A History of the Victorian Football Association 1877–1995 – a book widely considered the best overall compendium on all things VFA/VFL – covers the topic of the Development League only in a couple of end-of-book reference lists (list of premiers, list of best-and-fairest winners, list of leading goalkickers) with little in the way of prose.

Talk! 23:35, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] OK, I'm gonna go keep on this one. Appears to meet WP:NBASIC . Policy-based rationale follows. The rules: Per NBASIC People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. WP:SIGCOV clarifies that "significant coverage" is coverage that addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. As we are ultimately here to decide collectively whether an administrator should use the extraordinary power of deletion to remove this article from the wiki, we must as always be mindful to resolve all doubts against deletion , and to apply the rules flexibly in support of our encyclopedic purpose . The sources: It should be noted at the outset that search results may have been skewed by West African naming practices -- as in the article itself, the subject's name is written "Abideen Olasupo" about as often as "Olasupo Abideen". I'm seeing three categories of potentially relevant sources: (1) actual profiles, one unusable and one possibly usable; (2) interviews and mentions that are largely irrelevant to NBASIC but tend to show the subject's encyclopedic significance and likely relevance to readers, which may be relevant at the margins; (3) coverage of various political and journalistic initiatives in which Olasupo has played significant roles, containing coverage of the subject that is significant although perhaps not substantial and can be combined under NBASIC. 1. Profiles: the first source is the worst. The "Foundation for Investigative Journalism", which might easily be confused with other orgs with similar names, appears to be a project of Fisayo Soyombo with, at best, no clear track record of reliability. That delightfully thorough profile must therefore be cast aside. However, Olasupo has also been the subject of another profile, this one in the The Nation Online . Weighing in at 366 words, it contains substantial biographical information. However, as the "hook" for the profile is Olasupo's past work as a reporter for that newspaper, some might prefer to disregard this source as insufficiently independent. (I do not believe that is warranted, but let's move on.) 2. Neither substantial nor significant, but still illuminating: cited by CNN as a public policy analyst , interviewed by the (UK) Guardian on world youth poll , profiled by Tony Elumelu Foundation for COVID19 fact-checking initiative in 2020 , interviewed on his election fact-checking work in 2023 . 3. Significant though not substantial: Numerous independent reliable sources discuss Olasupo in the context of his FactCheck Elections initiative: [1] , [2] , [3] . Earlier, he received frequent attention as a leader of the Not Too Young To Run initiative in Kwara state: [4] , [5] (contains but is not limited to quotes), [6] . There was also some coverage of his attendance at COP26 : [7] , [8] . Various outlets have covered his appearance at the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum in 2023: [9] , [10] . (I have not attempted to compile a complete list.) None of these require OR to extract the content, and all can therefore properly be combined under NBASIC. Conclusion: Olasupo has been the recipient of sufficiently widespread coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, that it is appropriate and consistent with our encyclopedic purpose to combine the available sources under NBASIC. -- Visviva ( talk ) 03:56, 14 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you Visviva .

I think he is definitely notable for ro.wiki: he was an Olympic handball player, a handball referee and coach of Karres Mediaș (later renamed Record Mediaș), with which he won the Romanian women's handball championship 3 times. As for Arcanum, yes, it is a Hungarian newspaper archive, but it also contains hundreds, if not thousands, of Romanian newspapers. Yes, I have access to that source and a search for 'Bruno Holzträger' returned 28 results. His name is mentioned especially in German-language Romanian newspapers. At that time, there was a significant German minority in Romania (about 400,000 people), and handball was introduced to the country by them. In the beginning, there were handball teams only in Romanian cities with a significant German population. Holzträger's name is mentioned in Neuer Weg (the main German-language newspaper), in Sportul Popular (the main Romanian-language sports newspaper), in Curentul , and other national or local newspapers, from 1948 to 1996. If you wish, you can download from here the newspaper pages from which I cropped the photos uploaded to Commons (the link only works for 6 days). 28 references might not seem like much, but the communist press, especially in the 50s, was very strictly controlled and the only 'stars' that could be written about in abundance were the communist dignitaries. Bruno Holzträger is also mentioned many times in this book about Romanian handball players and coaches of German origin. As you can see, there are enough reliable sources from Romania, but too few international sources. However, I would like the article to be kept if possible. -- Nenea hartia ( talk ) 19:10, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Nenea hartia : That book source is a nice find - with 49 mentions of him, it's almost certainly significant coverage on Holztrager; as for the others, looking at the one clipping, it seems to be mainly an interview? Unfortunately I don't think it would help much. Do any of the other matches for his name cover him in-depth? BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 19:22, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ BeanieFan11 : There are a couple. Please use the same link , I have added two more files. For example an article from March 1996 called Ein Mann namens Bruno Holzträger (A man named Bruno Holzträger) or a short obituary from 1978: Bruno Holzträger gestorben (Bruno Holzträger died). Most of the others are generally mentions of him as a handball player, coach, or referee. There could be other references to him, for example in this big Romanian newspaper archive. Unfortunately, although every scanned pdf has OCR, there is no search engine for the whole database, so a search by Holzträger's name is not possible. -- Nenea hartia ( talk ) 20:17, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The obit is okay, but the other one is really good. That with the book is enough for notability in my opinion. BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 22:15, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , per the great finds by Nenea hartia, especially the book that mentions him on 49 pages and the last two newspaper articles; his obit mentions that he was one of the "greatest handball players in the world in the 1930s" and the other one is an in-depth piece on his life almost 20 years after he died. We've got enough for a pass of WP:GNG . @ Geschichte and FA Myn J : BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 22:15, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , he is clearly notable. 🤾♂️ Malo95 ( talk ) 17:05, 17 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

One sources nothing more than the film's budget and the others are basically movie trivia. SIGCOV means "more than a trivial mention." Looks like this thing aired on TV once about 50 years ago and sank w/o a trace. Even if two critics reviewed it, that means it barely squeaks by one of the five different notability criteria and I just don't think that's enough.

There are scholarly books on the subject [42] [43] , the subject is of interest to very reliable newspapers (The Guardian) [44] which makes the point that this goes back to Sophocles and Oedipus Rex. I can see that the current article is basically an extended list and needs drastic sorting-out, but I don't think the existing information is of zero use to anyone who wants to make improvements, so I cannot recommend a TNT delete. This is one of those situations where the encyclopaedia would benefit from more improvement and less deletion. Finding good sources on this is ridiculously easy.

The current state of the articles are such a mess, though, that there's not a super simple way to do this. As both the nom mentioned, and backed up by Elemimele's comment, this one is in marginally better shape than the other two, so I suppose my suggestion would be to Redirect the other two articles here, and use this one as the base of a rewrite.

They say almost nothing about ensemble itself. - Altenmann >talk 18:31, 11 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I disagree. Concert reviews often contain analysis and critical commentary, which does constitute significant coverage, particularly in the genre of classical music, where concert reviews are one of the primary venues for music criticism. Here's an excerpt from the Guardian review: Aviv String Quartet, founded in 1997, is rapidly emerging as one of today's finest chamber ensembles. Rich, warm and distinctive in sound, their playing combining technical exactitude with instinctive emotional intensity. Their methodology is often striking. With many quartets, the first violinist tends to be the principal figure. Here, however, the second violinist Evgenia Epshtein and viola player Shuli Waterman are predominant, anchoring their performances in rhythmic and harmonic density and gradually prising the music open from within, while the leader, Sergey Ostrovsky and cellist Rachel Mercer weave gracious tendrils of sound around them. Not only is this significant coverage, the fact that this ensemble has concert reviews in major general-audience newspapers such as The Guardian and New York Times is strong evidence that it will have also been covered in specialist publications such as The Strad -- and hey, look: [49] , [50] .

The opposition is TikTok star Heer Jatt’s family, her father played by Kashif Abbasi and uncle, a corrupt policeman played by Afzal Khan (Jan Rambo), whose deadpan humour is unmissable.Like most Ramazan shows, the supporting cast of quirky but lovable personalities are essential to the spirit of the show. Amar is fantastic as Heer, funny, tough, determined and somehow vulnerable too. The show also debuts Scottish Pakistani YouTube star Rahim Pardesi (Mohammad Amer) whose hilarious face-off with Hero Butt is the stuff of legend.

Basehor-Linwood High School: Article and BEFORE showed no independent reliable sources with significant coverage addressing the subject directly and in-depth.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:40, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I need to look longer at this, but initial searches show it mentioned in 11 research papers, multiple books (although initial thoughts are these are mostly directories) and many newspaper articles (but per nom, these could be routine). There's a lot of reading to do. But I will just make a point now that this page was only created today. Yes, it was not exactly created in a good state, but couldn't something have been put on the talk page in the first instance? Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 22:37, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . A quick look at newspapers.com finds that Basehor-Linwood High School was the result of a merger of Basehor High School and Linwood High School in approximately 1966. Newspapers.com shows approximately 3700 results for Basehor High School, dating back to at least 1930. It shows about 2500 for Linwood High School (limited to Kansas), also dating back to 1930. If shows approximately 1700 articles for Basehor-Linwood High School. It would be very surprising if these nearly 8,000 newspaper articles didn't provide sufficient coverage to establish notability. Jacona ( talk ) According to this non-reliable source, Basehor High School has roots back to 1885 under the name Prairie Gardens, so we're talking about nearly a century and a half of history to peruse. Jacona ( talk ) 23:47, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . After wading through a small portion of the material available on newspapers.com, it is readily apparent that there is significant coverage in WP:RS which WP:NEXISTs to meet WP:GNG . I've added a very small portion of this to the article. There are currently 13 references. Many more are available. The difficulty is that there are so many references to wade through to find the ones that are useful. In 150 years, there are probably a lot more sources offline than there are online. These count, but they are hard to find. Jacona ( talk ) 02:47, 26 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Per Jacona, and WP:HEY as the article is already in much improved state and passes WP:GNG .

Datangshan is a hill and village in Xiaotangshan, Beijing , where it is mentioned. Xiaotangshan, Beijing is a possible redirect target if Datangshan found to be non-notable.

The mountain is shaped like a pen stand. It was named "Datang Mountain" by the ancients because of its hot springs. About one thousand meters west of Datang Mountain, there are three low hills and hot springs, which are called "Xiaotang Mountain". Before it was recorded in history for its anti-epidemic work, Xiaotangshan was a famous healing place and was favored by many emperors. It was also a tourist attraction during the Republic of China."

The article notes: 小湯山村發展成小湯山鎮,幾乎人所共知;殊不知還有一個鮮為人知的大湯山村,明代已經形成村落。 村北有一個一百三十餘米高的山丘,與小湯山村一樣因山丘得名。 原來大湯山村水資源豐富,山腳下有多處泉眼,泉水常年流淌不斷,溫度攝氏二十度左右,足以供村民生活和灌溉附近的農田所用。 曾有諺語說:「大湯山好地方,山清水秀好風光。 蔬菜四季有,花果滿山崗;池塘黑泥藕兒白,山下熱水稻兒香。 」自然資源並非無窮盡,一九六○年代水源枯竭。 大湯山村隸屬小湯山鎮,距小湯山村很近,雖然也有些企業單位入住,但村的境況遠不如小湯山村。 From Google Translate: Xiaotangshan Village developed into Xiaotangshan Town, which is almost known to everyone; but little-known is that there is also a little-known Datangshan Village, which was already formed as a village in the Ming Dynasty. There is a hill more than 130 meters high in the north of the village. Like Xiaotangshan Village, it is named after the hill. It turns out that Datangshan Village is rich in water resources. There are many springs at the foot of the mountain. The spring water flows continuously all year round. The temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius, which is enough for the villagers to live and irrigate nearby farmland. A proverb once said: "Datang Mountain is a good place, with clear mountains and beautiful scenery. Vegetables are available all year round, and the hills are full of flowers and fruits; the ponds are black and the mud is white, and the rice is fragrant in the hot water at the foot of the mountain." Natural resources are not endless. In the 1960s, Water sources dry up. Datangshan Village is affiliated to Xiaotangshan Town and is very close to Xiaotangshan Village. Although some corporate units have moved in, the village's situation is far inferior to that of Xiaotangshan Village.

In time, I'm sure things will happen on the new Bengaluru lines which will be reported in the news. But right now the only coverage is routine. On a personal note, I've traveled on the Namma Metro and quite enjoyed it. I hope it continues to expand and improve. JMWt ( talk ) 09:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . A further reason I'm favouring keeping this article is the potential for expansion from adding a paragraph or two on the new train depot that's being constructed adjacent to the metro station (which is the western terminus of the Purple Line). I came across a couple of articles on the depot but there may not be sufficient coverage for a separate article.

Timothytyy ( talk ) 10:48, 6 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Just found out this metro station was part of a recent bundled AfD nomination Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andheri West metro station and kept seemingly on the proviso to check the individual metro stations for sources and expand the article, if possible. It depends on sourcing as to whether the article can be progressed from a stub. If it can't, then yes a redirect/merge solution to a list of metro stations is appropriate. If it can, and I believe that's been demonstrated here, then the page should be kept. I don't see why there shouldn't be a mix of some stations being kept and others redirected/merged.

It's already longer than what I'd consider a stub, and it looks like there's still potential for expansion.

Children in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict: Note that other wars also don't have "children in... x" articles. The choice of topic dooms this article to be a POV fork, because a country that is very rich can afford to not send its children to war (e.g. by using drones) or when they do they can afford advanced weaponry and armor. Both sides rely on indoctrination (religious or not) to keep the conflict going for yet another generation, but only for one side this is mentioned in the article. I've removed this photo from the article. Polygnotus ( talk ) 14:39, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment How is this a POV fork? There is far more material here on the topic than there is in the alleged parent. The rest of this nomination reads like a political speech, what are the policy reasons for deletion? Selfstudier ( talk ) 15:16, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You don't think its a bit weird to have a photo from the IDF that shows Palestinian children with cancer on a ski trip in an article about " Children in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict "?

Polygnotus ( talk ) 16:34, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Palestinian child cancer patients on a ski trip organized by Israeli soldiers Merge - “Other stuff doesn’t exist” has never been a good argument at AFD. The article is well sourced and potentially viable as a topic. However, I do have concerns about the Neutrality of the article as it currently exists. While AFD is not for article clean up, I think it best to merge it back to the parent article (where it will get more eyes) and improve its flaws… then, perhaps, split it off again. Blueboar ( talk ) 15:19, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Multi-merge and split : [EC] I don't agree the article will be necessarily a POV fork. (It is already a topic area that is in a state of constant POV chaos, the removal of one photo says little -- I removed another shortly after it was posted for similar reasons -- at least this article is not WP:OWNed the way so many others in this topic are.) However, it is currently an unspecific jumble of topics only related by being in the same multigenerational conflict -- everything from child terrorists to child war victims to propaganda to child welfare and education in the respective states. The content should instead be merged into the main article and appropriate sub-articles ( Textbooks in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict , Category:War crimes in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict (which is an absolute mess if you want to find something in need of TNT) and others apparently not categorized or that need to be created regarding welfare and education in the Israeli state), and parallel articles such as child soldiers and terrorists. SamuelRiv ( talk ) 15:21, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] To this point, on article splits with nonspecific titles, see my suggestion for the only appropriate image lead for "Children in X conflict". On the other hand, for a properly scoped fork of longstanding conflict, see for example Child soldiers in Sri Lanka , Healthcare in the State of Palestine vs Healthcare in Israel (could be improved certainly), Education in Afghanistan , etc. "Children" on the other hand is not a specific policy topic from which to split a geopolitics article. SamuelRiv ( talk ) 16:15, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The image I'm referring to is nonfree, but it's the one in Think of the children § Lovejoy's Law . I bothered with the meme to make it clear that I am mocking the title and scope of this article. SamuelRiv ( talk ) 19:19, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and work to improve it. The OP's main argument is fallacious. We don't have "Children in the X war" articles because that wasn't a focus of RS coverage. For example, there are not many RS about children in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. But children victims in Gaza have certainly been a focus of RS coverage in this case. For good reason, in my opinion (I'm disclosing that I'm not "neutral" about this war.). NightHeron ( talk ) 16:45, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That is clearly untrue. Look at the sources used in the article. It doesn't pass WP:GNG. Sure there are news articles about specific incidents that involve children, sources that include a portion about children, and sources that talk about Palestinian children. But where are the sources that are about this specific topic (children on both sides of this particular war)? Also, there *are* RS that discuss children during WW2.

Iskandar323 ( talk ) 18:28, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] In that case its probably best to get rid of it. Polygnotus ( talk ) 18:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Bad nom of a page that is clearly not a POVFORK of anything, but a sub-topic/child article on the conflict. The suggestion to merge is meanwhile nonsensical given that the substantial body of material here (extant since 2004) would clearly bloat the parent and be undue there. It is also clearly a viable standalone topic. Aside from the existing body of sourcing here, there are scholarly sources out there that even more expressly address the topic, making it unlikely that WP: BEFORE was done. Examples include: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Meta-analysis of exposure and outcome relations for children of the region , The impact of conflict on children: The Palestinian experience , Young children in intractable conflicts: The Israeli case , The effect of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict on child labor and school attendance in the West Bank , The Israeli–Palestinian conflict: Effects on youth adjustment, available interventions, and future research directions , The age of conflict: Rethinking childhood, law, and age through the Israeli-Palestinian case , etc. It's a bit of an endless river on Google Scholar . This sub-topic likely has its own fair share of sub-topics - not least, for example, a page on child detention in the conflict, as per the sources already on the page, such as the book: Stolen Youth: The Politics of Israel's Detention of Palestinian Children . Iskandar323 ( talk ) 18:10, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Iskandar323 : If you do a WP:BEFORE you'll find that these links are NOT about the topic of the article: 1) A meta-analysis of studies. The studies focus on one of the sides. 2) The Impact of Conflict on Children - The Palestinian Experience 3) The article examines the political socialization of young Jewish-Israeli children 4) In this paper we analyze the impact of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict on child labor and school attendance of Palestinian children in the West Bank 5) "updated review of research". Again, the studies focus on one of the sides. 6) The studies focus on one of the sides. 7) That's just google scholar. 8) incarceration of Palestinian children. Polygnotus ( talk ) 18:30, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yeah, so two sides, which makes one whole, so no NPOV issue. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 18:33, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The POVFORK is a NPOV issue. And a BEFORE search clearly shows that the article topic does not meet WP:GNG. Polygnotus ( talk ) 18:34, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Nope. Selfstudier ( talk ) 18:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Being right isn't how this works; the issue is that there appears to be no obvious cause for deletion, merging, or anything else here. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 18:38, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Except the fact we are dealing with a WP:POVFORK that does not meet WP:GNG Polygnotus ( talk ) 18:39, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You can keep repeating that but it doesn't improve the argument any. Selfstudier ( talk ) 18:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge individual sections with corresponding existing articles. The main problem with this agglomeration of unrelated topics with the theme of "children" isn't POV, but WP:SYNTH. The provided sources do not link the use of child soldiers with, say, child victims among civilians, and rightly so. The connection made in this article is an artifact created by the WP author. That said, the article does suffer from an NPOV issue, albeit not the usual one. The choice of 18 as the threshold age for the term "child" reflects a specific POV. The Islamic Jihad and Hamas have both said that they consider children of 16 to be adults, as does Israel in the occupied territories. By us labelling 16- and 17 year olds as "children", we are forcing our Westernized PoV on events where participants consider these people to be adults. To the credit of the article, it does mention this discrepancy in the "Legal issues" section, but plum ignores the issue in the rest of the article. The statistics quoted would be dramatically different if the term "child" was defined as under 16. I don't believe there is a clean way to resolve this problem without splitting the article into separate, topic-based pages, which we need to do anyway to resolve the SYNTH issue. Owen× ☎ 18:57, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Won't the parts suffer from the same criticism you are making of the whole? Selfstudier ( talk ) 19:04, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Why would they? WP:SYNTH opens with the instruction, Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source . Once we've separated the material that was improperly combined by the article, it will no longer suffer from SYNTH. The POV issues can then be fixed per section. Owen× ☎ 19:19, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If the POV issues can be fixed in the parts, then they can be fixed in the whole. That leaves the SYNTH (original research) assertion but with sources like Children as Victims and Activists in the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict (Book Chapter) , as well as those above, I don't see that assertion as convincing, at any rate not sufficiently convincing that some judicious editing of the article won't fix. Selfstudier ( talk ) 19:29, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That is just a chapter of a book with that title. The book is actually called: "National and International Civilian Protection Strategies in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict"... And the WP:OR/WP:SYNTH issues can't be fixed without at least splitting the article in two parts. Polygnotus ( talk ) 19:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Plenty more if one actually looks, Children in Palestine and Israel continue to suffer as international law is routinely ignored , splitting into two parts is something you just made up. Selfstudier ( talk ) 19:39, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Imagine if we find a source that actually is about the topic of the article, after ~310 attempts, that still does not fix the WP:SYNTH/WP:OR (whatever you wanna call it) and WP:POV problems. Polygnotus ( talk ) 19:44, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Selfstudier : the Conversation article you linked to specifically talks about children as victims of military violence. Not a word about child soldiers or children being used as suicide bombers. This further supports what SamuelRiv , Polygnotus , Blueboar and I have been saying about the need to split this article. Owen× ☎ 19:48, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm sure you can somewhere find a book that talks about the challenges children face in Israel/Palestine holistically. It would just be either a young adult motivational/inspirational/guide book, or else a teachers or parents manual. Not the kind of reference for positing that "children in X" form a coherent topic for the purposes of an encyclopedia article. It's not worth trying to make up some objective lawyery RS argument here though -- it's just how to do expository (i.e. encyclopedic) writing. SamuelRiv ( talk ) 20:01, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Just a technical nitpick: the hodgepodge of unrelated children-related topics into a "Children of X" article isn't SYNTH, it's a MOS issue of article titles and organization. While an example like this isn't spelled out in the rulebook (it's sorta alluded to in WP:PRECISE and WP:REORGANIZE ), it shouldn't have to be since this is a pretty straightforward mess. SamuelRiv ( talk ) 19:26, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Perhaps you're right, SamuelRiv . Either way, I think we both agree on what the solution is. Owen× ☎ 19:30, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Then the solution is to clean up the mess, btw, if your views hold sway, are y'all going to do the work? Y'know, splitting it up and parking the parts wherever, cleaning up? Probably not, right? Selfstudier ( talk ) 19:42, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is an AfD. Merge has always been a viable consensus option in such discussions. Don't you think it would be a bad form to start merging the article while the AfD is ongoing, for less than a day even? SamuelRiv ( talk ) 19:48, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:TNT Polygnotus ( talk ) This article was created in 2004, good luck with that. Selfstudier ( talk ) 19:49, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you. Articles on this topic enjoy massive editor participation. But in the unlikely event that no one else does the split/merge job, then yes, I'll be happy to jump in and do the work. I'd also love it if you, Selfstudier , helped with the mergers, seeing as you have ample experience editing articles on this topic, and can probably do a better job than I could with this one. There's really no need to be adversarial about this. We both want the content to stay here, we just need to find a better spot for it. Owen× ☎ 20:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If the goal is to make something better then I'm down of course. I don't know how to split/merge but I can take a critical look at the result. Polygnotus ( talk ) 20:27, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I have listened to the arguments and find them wanting. The idea that an article with a 20 year history suddenly becomes a deletion candidate is entirely ridiculous. If over time, the article has lost focus, presumably due to random additions not strictly speaking within scope, then the remedy is to undo that, not start ripping up an otherwise perfectly good article. Selfstudier ( talk ) 22:06, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Literally all articles are candidates for merging or deletion. The problem isn't just that the article "lost focus". The problem is more fundamental than that. Polygnotus ( talk ) 22:10, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep -- This is an encyclopaedic topic with clear and persistent sourcing. The article needs cleanup, but WP:DINC . Easily meets WP:GNG on all points. Cheers, Last1in ( talk ) 20:18, 12 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per nom.

Eladkarmel ( talk ) 16:48, 16 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep. This is very clearly a WP:NOTABLE topic with a lot of coverage, and the scope is broad enough where WP:NPOV issues can be addressed through standard editing. Deleting this article outright is completely unnecessary. I also agree with the WP:DINC argument. XTheBedrockX ( talk ) 22:05, 17 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong keep . Due to the significant media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there are already articles about some very specific sub-topics of the conflict, for example: school airstrikes in the 2023 Israel-Hamas war , attacks on health facilities during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war , etc. Moreover, saying that other wars don't have an article about the affected children misses the fact that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict isn't just a war, it's something much wider and children are being affected also when there is no active war at all, for example by Administrative detentions . The topic of children being affected from the conflict, is heavily discussed as well, some examples: [6] [7] [8] [9] . Moreover, this article presents the topic in a very neutral way, discussing the affected children in both sides. HilbertSpaceExplorer ( talk ) 13:35, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ HilbertSpaceExplorer : School airstrikes in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war is, of course, also a WP:POVFORK and should also be deleted for that reason. If you click on those 4 links you see that none of them are about the topic of the article (children in the conflict as a whole, in both Israel and Palestina, since the beginning of the conflict till now). They are about Gazan children. Based on your choice of links I am surprised that you vote keep; do you really want Wikipedia to keep an article that by its choice of topic is automatically biased against Palestinians and pro-Israeli? Polygnotus ( talk ) 14:59, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If you believe School airstrikes in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war is a WP:POVFORK that's completely fine, as right now we discuss another article. I mentioned those 2 articles, to emphasize the fact, that creating articles that discuss specific aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a common thing, and that claim by itself doesn't justify deletion. I agree that theoretically, this article could have been merged into other articles, but that's not making it a WP:POVFORK . This article's topic is mentioned in researches, for example: [10] , [11] . I can't see why this article is biased against Palestinian children - I find it balanced, and that's one of the reasons I ! voted keep. HilbertSpaceExplorer ( talk ) 09:01, 20 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Wordsmith Talk to me 21:28, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - "Other wars also don't have children in x articles" isn't a very policy-based argument. The article clearly has citations to numerous reliable sources, with sources documenting actions by both sides of the conflict. There is more than enough material specifically covering how children are affected by and used in the conflict to justify its own article. While legitimate concerns may be raised on whether the article is NPOV, as well as about the quality of the article, there is nothing that can't be addressed by rewriting the article, the nom's NPOV concerns alone are not sufficient reason for deletion. Take for example the argument 'Both sides rely on indoctrination (religious or not) to keep the conflict going for yet another generation, but only for one side this is mentioned in the article.' If you really believe indoctrination by one side wasn't covered by the article, just go look up reliable sources documenting said indoctrination and cite them in the article. Also if you think the article doesn't talk enough about children who are victims of the conflict, you could easily add that in - there's no shortage of reliable sources covering that.

Suitskvarts ( talk ) 10:42, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I don't think it is credible to call an article that has existed since 2004, has been edited 1619 times by 445 different users and has 261 incoming links from article space a POVFORK. POVFORKs are normally made by individuals or very small groups of people and are either stomped on quickly or fly under the radar for a while before being detected and dealt with. This is not an under the radar article! Sure, people have had concerns about its neutrality since 2004, and those need to be addressed, but wiping the whole subject out and pretending that it doesn't exist is not a way towards neutrality, or anything else of value. I'm neutral to mildly sympathetic towards a merge but I don't think this AfD is the best place to choose that.

Surprise! (film): The notability claim here, that it won an award at a regional film festival, would be fine if the article were properly sourced -- but the "awards" criterion in NFILM is looking for top internationally-prominent film festivals on the order of Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Toronto or Sundance, not just any film festival that exists, so winning an award at the Seattle film festival isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt the film from actually having to have any sources. Bearcat ( talk ) 14:46, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and Germany . Bearcat ( talk ) 14:46, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I'll try to find a source for that; SIFF is about one level down from the aforementioned. It is certainly not a "regional film festival". - Jmabel | Talk 14:50, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The source for a film festival award cannot be said film festival's own self-published website about itself, as that isn't independent of the statement — the source has to be a journalist-written newspaper or magazine article, or a book, that shows that the film festival's award announcements are considered newsworthy and/or historically significant by people other than the film festival's own staff. (The awards at the top-level likes of Cannes or TIFF make films notable because those are awards that get reported by media as news — they're special because media tell us they're special by treating them as newsworthy , not just because we like them more than we like smaller film festivals.) But so far the source you've added is SIFF's own website, not a piece of GNG-building third-party coverage — and even if you can find a more GNG-worthy source for that, we would still need to see other GNG-worthy sourcing about the film alongside that anyway. Bearcat ( talk ) 15:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] We are not citing for the importance of SIFF. We are citing for whether they gave the award. An instutition's own site is the preferred source for an an official action by that institution. - Jmabel | Talk 16:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep . A lot of the material here is in German, and a lot of it appears to have come narrowly too early for widespread digitization. Here is unquestionably relevant coverage in a German film studies book. I believe this Google Books snippet view is actually of a magazine article reviewing its release as part of a DVD. Finally, I only have a citation so I can't evaluate the source, but there appears to be a Spanish-language scholarly article about this short film: Meier, A. "Sorpresas educativas en Surprise de Veit Helmer." Posibilidades del análisis cinematográfico (1era ed., Vol. 1, pp. 365-373). Secretaría de Educación del gobierno del Estado de México (2015).

WP:BLP1E only applies when "[t]he person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual," which won't happen here. WP:NPOL is here to keep Wikipedia from getting cluttered with local officials who don't get coverage and unsuccessful candidates whose only notability is associated with the race. Moreover, he has received significant coverage in local and national media ( AP , New York Times , New York Times , Oregonian , Willamette Week ). Furthermore, national reliable sources have covered Vasquez in the context of the political significance of his win; see New York magazine and Politico . The most we could do is draftify it until January 1, but I think the sources justify keeping the article now, and delaying the inevitable creation of a virtually identical article for a few months strikes me as a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT .

I disagree with characterizing the sources as churnalism, particularly the national coverage (and there are many more that could be added). Vasquez is part of a notable trend of centrist challengers defeating progressive DAs in most major cities on the west coast, which continues to attract coverage. He will oversee enforcement of Portland's homelessness policies (which have been covered by NYT and others for several years), and may receive significantly increased coverage if the pending Supreme Court decision (brought by plaintiffs in Oregon) overturns restrictions on homeless enforcement as widely expected. He will also take office in the aftermath of drug re-criminalization in Oregon. Any deletion would be temporary as national coverage is very likely to continue after he is sworn in. Jamedeus ( talk ) 23:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Subject is very notable. His win and the election as a whole have been reported on national news (AP, NY Post, other local sources, etc).

For example, the analysis of the results was in The Scotsman . Unfortunately, the British Newspaper Archive doesn't have any papers from Sutherland in the 1970s to further establish notability but it would be the same level of coverage you would expect for any of the current unitary authorities. For comparison with the most recent local elections in the UK, this district council is on a par with the 152 district councils at 2023 United Kingdom local elections#District councils , all of which have their own article (I know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not an argument to keep an article but the implication here is that all of those plus every other district council election in the UK are not notable and a simple WP:BEFORE will show that's not the case).

Assuming these nominees will be confirmed is WP:CRYSTAL . Let'srun ( talk ) 18:16, 30 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Jeffrey Cummings ; move to draft as to the rest . These articles raise an interesting conundrum. If these nominations are confirmed, as the substantial majority of federal judicial nominations eventually are, then notability will be automatic. If the unlikely event that any of these nominations are rejected in a Senate vote, that in itself would be a point in favor of the notability of the subjects. If these linger until the end of the administration and are never acted on, I don't think they confer notability thereby, but would be some evidence of notability in combination with other information on the subjects that might be found. Among these subjects, there is some coverage of notable rulings made by Cummings as a magistrate, and I think that one can likely stand as an article as is. The rest can be moved to draft for further research and/or developments.

That's especially true in a field like personal health devices. Questions of how to implement ISO 11073 have been the subject of entire academic articles. For example: Consideration of the generated network utilization of the IEEE 11073 SDC standard , Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 8 Issue 2 (2022) Applying the ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards to Wearable Home Health Monitoring Systems, Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing (2005) 19: 427–436 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-005-2033-7 (cited in article).

No support given for the claim that it "Fails GNG". In fact, a simple google scholar search (mandated by WP:BEFORE ) shows hundreds of articles entirely devoted to this standard. Admittedly many are from IEEE, but all it takes is a it of additional searching/filtering to find independent sources. Per WP:NEXISTS that should be enough to avoid an AfD.

Brigitte García: As such, this biographical article should not exist, because she wasn't notable enough as a mayor of a small town.

A reasonable voice ( talk ) 09:11, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Pretty sure those articles about murder victims dive into the murder itself, not the person. Also, those articles are just notable because of the murder and/or a celebrity who got murdered or did the murder. This is neither of those things as the page only exists because she died. Also, the "youngest mayor in Ecuador" part is trivia, and not actually something that means much. 🔥 Jala peño 🔥 Stupid stuff I did 09:59, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep . The youngest mayor in Ecuador is notable. There is significant coverage. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-68655323 The One Event rule is not applicable, because there are at least two notable events in in her life — election as mayor and death. Notmemorial is for persons trying to write about their deceased relatives, not about people who are written about in BBC, Spiegel, Sky news, Reuters, Fox News. We do not require sources to be published before death. BilboBeggins ( talk ) 16:28, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] If her election as mayor was notable, then provide some sources for it. I think you'd have a hard time doing that as she was a mayor of a small town (her being the youngest mayor in Ecuador is just trivia). 🔥 Jala peño 🔥 Stupid stuff I did 08:53, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep This is comparable to a Mayor being assassinated in America in a city of 200,000. This is part of a wider spread of assassinations that should be covered on Wikipedia. The assassination wasn't even the most notable part about her. She was the youngest mayor in Ecuador, a country of 9,000,000 people. Lukt64 ( talk ) 17:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] And? So what if she was the youngest mayor in Ecuador?

The significance and size of towns isn't measured proportional to the size of their parent country, or we'd report every time someone stubbed their toe in the Vatican. I'm definitely ready to be persuaded that Ms Garcia was notable, and I hope to see some sources for that. But the size of her town relative to the country is completely irrelevant.

Note it’s not only coverage after her death but also from 2023. 82.174.61.58 ( talk ) 19:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Not entirely sure what to do here. We've never held that someone is notable simply because they were a young mayor before - it's nowhere in NPOL and those arguments aren't valid in this discussion. For a small town mayor to be notable, they have to be notable above and beyond just being a mayor. WP:CRIME applies here instead, not WP:NPOL , which I don't usually apply at AfD - that reads The victim or person wrongly convicted, consistent with Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Subjects notable only for one event, had a large role within a well-documented historic event. The historic significance is indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role. I don't think we're quite there yet, but the amount of coverage that was received here means we could get there if this continues to be well-documented. SportingFlyer T · C 23:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Agreed. If she was so notable from that, then there should be good sourcing for that, but nobody voting keep here has actually provided any sources that are significant coverage from prior to her death about this aledged remarkable achievement. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 09:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - enough coverage to pass WP:GNG & WP:POLITICIAN .

I understand concerns about most sources being about her assassination rather than other parts of her career. Two things about that: (1) That itself is notable in my opinion, and justifies at least an article about the assassination if not the person herself, and (2) the sources note that she was notable in being the youngest mayor in Ecuador and a leftist challenger. Additional articles about her prior to her assassination: https://www.ecuavisa.com/noticias/ecuador/quien-es-brigitte-garcia-la-alcaldesa-mas-joven-del-pais-XN4582770 https://www.pressreader.com/ecuador/el-diario-ecuador/20230308/281754158537849 https://www.eldiario.ec/actualidad/manabi/en-manabi-esta-la-vicealcaldesa-mas-joven-del-pais/ https://www.primicias.ec/noticias/seccionales-2023/millenials-politica-elecciones-edad-alcaldes/ LaborHorizontal ( talk ) 17:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The Primicias article only has passing mentions of García.

Abcmaxx ( talk ) 21:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . I disagree that Garcia is 1E because her age and assassination would seem to both be of some note, but the former is trivia (do we have an article for the youngest mayor in every country), and the latter could probably use some expansion. Either way, we really could use more information on her actual career. If we agree to keep but expansion does not occur, this article SHOULD be reverted to a draft.

But her murder definitely gave a lot of spotlight since some people may have liked her and was in shock to hear that she was killed likely to an organization or a lone wolf. 70.167.194.163 ( talk ) 17:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Her being the youngest mayor in Ecuador is purely trivia, not actually encyclopedic. 🔥 Jala peño 🔥 Stupid stuff I did 10:02, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Move to "Murder of Brigitte García" I agree with others who have pointed out that she is mostly notable for the manner of her death (murdered mayor). She would never have otherwise had a wikipedia article solely for being the youngest mayor in Ecuador. However, the media coverage of the murder itself is clearly significant in the context of the country's political crisis - enough so to merit an article (for examples of other articles about a notable murder itself and not about the murder victim, see Murder of Travis Alexander or Murder of Anita Cobby ). Because the murder is far more notable than the murder victim, the existing content should be moved to an article focused on the killing itself.

Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 19:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] A discussion is most certainly not needed. I'd be less surprised to see her nominated at WP:ITN/C than I would at AFD. It's quite clear that consensus exists here - it's no longer necessary to be campaigning. Also pointing out that a nomination is very poor, is by no definition a personal attack! It's clearly a poor nomination, given the very clear consensus, and high participation. Nfitz ( talk ) 19:53, 29 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Disagreeing is fine, calling this AFD the worst nomination I've seen in a long time is not civil, and overly aggressive towards me. Given multiple editors have not voted keep, this is not a ridiculous nomination like you claim. Moving to a "Murder of" article is more sensible than a biography article too, and that warrants discussion. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 22:35, 29 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It's absolutely civil, and not personal - it's encouragement to withdraw the nomination. Moving the article - which isn't something I've suggested - would be at ATD, and then BEFORE comes into question; but is suggesting BEFORE personal - because surely if what I said is personal - so is that.

A large number of Keep voters don't seem to have an actual argument (besides her being the youngest mayor in Ecuador, which is trivia) for keeping that challenges the nominator's concerns. 🔥 Jala peño 🔥 Stupid stuff I did 08:46, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It isn't just counting the voters - but over 5:1 without some kind of off-wiki campaign or something, is hard to dispute. But hang on - the primary argument appears to be significant coverage, not youngest mayor - the youngest mayor argument appears secondary in response to the ONEEVENT claims. Nfitz ( talk ) 15:59, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:1E was the original argument. Also, even if the argument is SIGCOV, then it's SIGCOV before her death, as it's already obvious that there is SIGCOV at her death.

The fact that SAL is the parent organisation of the SMC does not ipso facto make the SAL Journal dependent on the SMC. The SAL Journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal that is remotely operated from the SMC. To claim dependence here would be like saying that, since Conde Nast owns both Bon Appetit and The New Yorker, The New Yorker's coverage of BA is always non-independent. You need to show how the coverage of SMC in the sources you claim are "non-independent" are actually as such; to my mind, they are factual, in themselves show how the SMC is notable, and do not demonstrate any undue attention given.

Talk! 18:23, 15 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] a review of the sources presents by Indefensible the first straittimes source is about the Singapore Construction Mediation Centre not the Singapore Mediation Centre and only mentions SMC in passing the todayonline source is about an ADR scheme authorised by the SMC and only mentions the SMC itself in passing the globallitigationnews sources is a bout a high court case and only mentions SMC in passing the second straittimes source is mixed it begins being about the SMC for the first 4 paragraphs but morphs into a general piece about the rise of acceptance of mediation in Singapore in general. the asianscientist piece is an interview with prof Eunice Chua and only mentions SMC the borneobulletin piece is a short article on an event hosted by the BDAC in collaboration with SMC and mentions that they were collaborating and that SMC's principal trainer was a guest speaker. so in total the sources presented are yet again more mentions of SMC which don't count towards notability. the second straittimes sources would count towards notability if there was more WP:SIGCOV , passing mentions fail SIGCOV required for WP:GNG and WP:NORG .

That seems fairly significant in my opinion. - Indefensible ( talk ) 17:23, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] that is not what is meant by WP:SIGCOV , that sentence counts as a mention. Lavalizard101 ( talk ) 17:53, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I think you have to interpret what the mention is saying, not just count the number of words.

Lots of recent coverage about the feature film Paradise Highway she wrote and directed, which for some reason is only mentioned in the article as a screenplay (needs updating). Reviews include Variety (saying it "is a singularly promising debut for a first-time feature filmmaker") and mostly negative reviews from other notable outlets including NY Times and Rogerebert.com .

Ontor22 ( talk ) 15:43, 27 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This simply means you have failed to understand what Google Books is and where do these resources come from. These are independent, reliable and highly trusted sources from the Cambridge University Press , Oxford University Press and the BRILL ; if you don't understand how that works, I am sorry, you need to go through WP:RS , WP:IS and WP:SIGCOV . You do not even know what Google Books is, and this is a pretty good reason to say that you have not done the necessary WP:BEFORE before filing this AfD nomination. FYI, Google Books is not any source but a service to look for resources available on any given topic. I am not sure how the works published by CUP, OUP and the BRILL are "self-published". This is really a weird nomination. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:21, 27 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Appreciate your statement. I aren't unable to understand Google Books. If so, you should start creating articles of all the mentioned people in Google Books/Press. I believe it is reliable but not satisfactory, so I said. Can you clarify the issue by showing the published online version or print of reliable newspaper? Ontor22 ( talk ) 16:50, 27 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] None of these are newspapers and neither is it required for them to be. The details of all of these resources is provided within the links I have included. None of these databases avail free access to their resources for each and everything so I am sorry but I am linking the sources once again: Disputing Contraception: Muslim Reform, Secular Change and Fertility ( Islamic Reform in South Asia , p. 388), Global Shifts and the Rise of Islamic Rationalism ( The Revival of Islamic Rationalism , p. 23), Domestic Violence and the Islamic Tradition (p. 159 onwards; unfortunately I cannot view anything but what is available on Google Books preview, WP:TWL does not have access to Oxford) and the BRILL , The Modernity of Neo-Traditionalist Islam ( Muslim Subjectivities in Global Modernity , p. 126).

I also do not believe that the use of WP:ROUTINE is appropriate; none of the citations I listed are news sources, all of these sources were posted years after release, written (presumably) because the author wanted to write about it. The Destructoid source, for example, is written as part of a series of significant parts of video games for their staff, with the author saying things like "Shooting The Boss, while over in a blink of an eye, really is a pretty innovative and surprisingly memorable moment. While it could have easily been incorporated into the always impressive cutscenes, making one, small creative decision to have the player perform this final killing shot makes the scene infinitely more powerful" as well as discuss the relationship between the player, Snake, and The Boss, their musing over whether the player is required to kill her or just let her die, and speculation on what Kojima was intending to depict by making the player execute her. I would strongly dispute the notion that ROUTINE applies in any capacity here. WP:SUMMARY also applies to an extent, but not to the entirety. The source is being utilized not for the description of the plot of The Boss, but for the author's feelings on her and her death. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 07:14, 25 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Could you provide the thread for The Mary Sue?

Here's some of what I could grab via Google Books from Space and Time: Essays on Visions of History in Science Fiction and Fantasy Television by David Wright and Allan Austin, ISBN 978-0786436644 "Sharon Agathon is a significant incarnation of number Eight among the Cylon humanoid models. Her character repeatedly challenges the presumptions of what it means to be human in this world, often very directly in her confrontations or conversations with Bill Adama. Although another copy of Number Eight, Boomer, attempted to assassinate Adama at the end of season one, this version, who bonded with her co-pilot, Karl Agathon, while on the run on Caprica, becomes pregnant and throws her lot in with Colonial humanity. This version of Number Eight bears the first known human/Cylon child and also becomes a close confidante of Bill Adama over the course of seasons two and three. Although ostensibly a prisoner of the Colonials, once she engineers an escape from the ruins of Caprica for herself, her lover, and Thrace, Sharon Agathon repeatedly demonstrates her trustworthiness so that she is eventually made an officer by Adama and given the call-sign Athena. "Adama's protectiveness towards this copy of Number Eight that he has come to know further blurs the barriers between Colonial and Cylon. For the first time, we see the suggestion of a concept of reciprocal accommodation between Colonials and Cylons on more than a personal level. How ever, this accommodation is based upon mutual respect emerging between..." You get the point. So, those are just the top four Google Scholar hits on this topic as picked from the default search template--I didn't have to search with other words or remove the words in parentheses... these are lying around for anyone to see... as long as they take even a perfunctory look at Google Scholar.

The topic is unquestionably notable; google scholar has at least a dozen reasonable hits, of which I'm particularly struck by this , which is an entire journal article analysing the character: there's also the first source mentioned above that has a lot of material. This is also one of the primary characters of the show (well within the top 10 by screen time); as such, I think improvement is more likely if we actually have an article rather than a redirect: and while the current content is bad, it isn't material that would be out of place in a fleshed out article, so I don't see an urgent need to remove it.

Companion (Doctor Who): Though this article is extensively footnoted, a closer look reveals the sources as officially licensed, in-universe material with few to no RS, thus failing SIGCOV. In addition, each companion has their own standalone article, making this a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. (Whether each companion deserves their own article under WP:NOPAGE is another discussion, which may well become part of this one.) My attempts to rectify the problems of this article have been reverted, with discussion stonewalled and talk page comments censored. It's possible the individual Companion articles could be merged into this one and/or turned into a WP:LIST. Either way, something needs to be done and I haven't made any progress on my own, so here we are.

Just Another Cringy Username ( talk ) 05:55, 17 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Your concerns about this article are valid, but it's a highly notable topic. A move to List of Doctor Who companions or similar may be appropriate, and further improvements would certainly be welcome, but WP:DELETIONISNOTCLEANUP . Also note that some companions do not have their own articles, with some such as Katarina (Doctor Who) deleted in recent months as they're not independently notable. That move arguably gives this article more purpose. U-Mos ( talk ) 12:00, 17 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep As has been said above (and numerous times in previous discussions, both in the talk page and Dispute Resolution ), your concerns are valid and there are definite issues with the article. But it is a notable article and deletion is not the way. There have been numerous requests for suggestions on how to improve the article with constructive edits, but by and large the suggestions that have been provided call only for deletion, whether of content or the article as a whole. Your opinion not being agreed with is not the same as being "stonewalled". The outcome of the DRN was for the filing editor to post these concerns in either Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Science Fiction , and then potentially to file a Request for Comments in order to discuss and to get opinions from the community on what is needed to be deleted, changed, reworded, better sourced, etc. As far as I can see - and please do correct me if I'm wrong - this has not been done. Could it be clarified why the filing editor has escalated to AfD before going through the measures suggested by a moderator after extensive discussion and feedback from multiple editors? Irltoad ( talk ) 13:00, 17 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Just Another Cringy Username I would also be curious as to your answer to the above final question. -- Alex_ 21 TALK 09:37, 18 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Glad to answer. As I've said from the beginning of this whole kerfuffle, most of the issues with this article result from its having been written "by fans, for fans," as the saying goes. (I'm guessing it's a holdover from an earlier iteration of WP where notability standards were looser and WP was explicitly pop culture-focused.) If you go to the Dr. Who project, all you'll get will be more Dr. Who fans. Bringing it to AfD and raising the issues of standalone notability, duplicative material, etc. will get more eyeballs on this article and hopefully bring forward a much broader consensus. Just Another Cringy Username ( talk ) 22:22, 18 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] So, when advised to not go for the deletionist point of view, you decided that instead of discussing it further, you'd go for the deletionist point of view once more. Unfortunately this hasn't seemed to work for you, since there is a clear consensus forming here. Is there a reason why you have not attempted to improve on the article at all? -- Alex_ 21 TALK 10:07, 19 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I've made several attempts, all of which got reverted in short order, which is why we're here. And I don't think there's any doubt about my being an unabashed deletionist. It's right there on my userpage for all to see. Just Another Cringy Username ( talk ) 06:28, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Simply an admittance to the desire to not improve articles. It's clear the majority of editors are against that opinion here. -- Alex_ 21 TALK 09:17, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Having trouble collaborating with other editors is not grounds for deletion. Current state of the article is also not grounds, as deletion is not cleanup. The thing that matters at AfD is whether sources exist that talk about the subject of the article, specifically and in detail (see WP:NEXIST ). There are certainly sources that discuss the role of the companion on Doctor Who — for an entire book on the subject, see Who Travels with the Doctor? Essays on the Companions of Doctor Who (McFarland, 2016). Toughpigs ( talk ) 16:46, 17 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep per above. My argument echoes those of above editors. There are significant sources that discuss this topic in depth just from a simple search, and the current state of the article is not grounds for deletion, as AfD is not cleanup. This article needs substantial work, yes, but the article should be improved by other editors instead of deleted. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 17:19, 17 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep No valid policy has been quoted to supports its deletion; this editor's issue with the article are over their own conduct, not the content. No attempt at a civil discussion has been attempted. -- Alex_ 21 TALK 09:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Rename/Merge I don't agree that a content fork can be fixed by the mere existence of sources. But that doesn't necessarily mean editing, either. If there isn't support for a merge here, I would at least agree with User:U-Mos that a move to List of Doctor Who companions would clarify the scope. Shooterwalker ( talk ) 21:33, 18 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Given that there's already a List of Doctor Who companions article, this appears more redundant than ever. Anyone want to discuss merging as an AtD? Just Another Cringy Username ( talk ) 22:27, 18 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That link is just a redirect to the Companion page that we're talking about. Toughpigs ( talk ) 22:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] What exactly are you intending to merge? Can you explain how you'd merge an article with a redirect? What about the redirect makes this article redundant? Or did you not actually view the article you linked? -- Alex_ 21 TALK 10:07, 19 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep See previous discussion(s). Again, it can be improved. So, improve it. I've tried to be nice about this, but here's the bottom line: quit *whining* about it and do the work to improve it if you're serious. — Shada Ng ( talk | contribs ) 03:09, 19 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I've done the work. You just didn't like what I did. Just Another Cringy Username ( talk ) 06:26, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Take a look at the difference between recent edits (careful deletion of unnecessary detail, along with justifications for such) and the ones which sparked this discussion (sweeping removal of entire sections due to "Excessive detail"). Evidently, the consensus here is that there is excessive detail and fancruft in the article, but that there is also plenty of encyclopaedic value that warrants more care than that. No one would take issue if you looked for sources where they are needed and only deleted content that genuinely contravenes WP:NOR or WP:NOT . At no point have you actually attempted to fix the problem . If there is excessive detail, you could remove the detail instead of the entire section. Irltoad ( talk ) 13:38, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This. — Shada Ng ( talk | contribs ) 15:07, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The entire section is excessive detail. It's in-universe and sourced from the show itself. Moreover, the same information is duplicated in each companion's individual article. This should be a general interest article about the concept of the Companion as a whole with an emphasis on real-world discussion, not just a reiteration of Dr. Who lore. As my tag suggests, what's there now may be of great interest to fans of the show, but we're not here for them. Just Another Cringy Username ( talk ) 20:51, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I echo Irltoad here. These sections are very iffy and fall under excessive detail, but you've made no effort to improve the article. You deleted swathes of information and put in nothing of substance that actually would improve it, arguably leaving it worse off than it was before. No one would have said anything if you had axed those sections but instead replaced it with paragraphs of Reception or Analysis of the role of Companions in the show, all properly sourced and cited. Your edits provided no benefit, and you then took it to AfD solely because you had a disagreement with other editors about this. These are consistently bad faith actions. I respect your effort to try and improve a middling article, but your efforts right now have proven disruptive, and I'd suggest taking the advice of other editors on what to do when it comes to improving it in the future. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 21:56, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] If all the time spent complaining about the article actually equalled actions to improve it, the article would be a lot better already. — Shada Ng ( talk | contribs ) 23:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] All I see is WP:DEADHORSE and WP:NOTHERE . JACU, you have no consensus here, your arguments have no support. -- Alex_ 21 TALK 07:51, 21 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Ayersville, Georgia: It appears to be a rail point which it was hoped would develop into a town, but apparently that failed to happen. I am becoming suspicious of claims of populations which aren't backed up by the census, and this one isn't: there's no mention of the place in the 1900 summary for Georgia in Habersham County, which is where this spot was located at the time.

Its population claim is dubious, but it does seem somewhat authoritative and researched (I wouldn't take the number seriously, but I think we can conclude there were a few dozen people living there in 1900). Satellite view shows there are still several homes and a cemetery in the area, so this wasn't simply a siding or signal point that someone at GNIS decided was a "populated place".

There is only 2 sources and 1 or two websites, that I can find, (including the ones already on the article) that directly address the subject of Ayersville. WP:GEOLAND doesn't confer automatic page status to all populated places, it confers presumptive notability.

List of black superheroes: The topic is surely notable but no information on why black superheroes are important and how they were and are depicted is provided, and cannot be provided in this format.

However, the underlying topic is highly notable ( [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] and dozens more), meeting the criteria at WP:NLIST .

When a form of media, genre, or say, a type of character is almost always one way for a long time, exceptions often get press coverage -- not just because they're unusual but because the people represented are often enthusiastic and want to share examples. Nominating a bunch of "[group historically underrepresented] in [an area in which they were underrepresented]" articles as WP:INDISCRIMINATE is, well, indiscriminate . Obviously there will be sources to satisfy WP:NLIST for this topic (I can link some, but I suspect that's not even in question, really), and inclusion criteria seems pretty easy to set up.

Whitestone, Warwickshire: I propose either a deletion of the article, it merged into Nuneaton or Attleborough or it deleted altogether.

I'll leave here the original expansion that I proposed here to improve the issues: [26] There are several academic works that cover this issue: P. Sullivan, Mark (2011). Latin America: Terrorism Issues . DIANE Publishing. : Since May 2006, the Secretary of State has made an annual determination that Venezuela was not cooperating fully with United States antiterrorism efforts" (...) As a result, the United States imposed an arms embargo on Venezuela, which ended all U.S. commercial arms sales and re-transfers to Venezuela C., Bonfili (2010). The United States and Venezuela: The social construction of interdependent rivalry . pp. 669–690. {{ cite book }} : Unknown parameter |agency= ignored ( help ) : 2006. In a hearing before the US Congressional Sincommittee on International Terrorism and Nonproliferation, a State Department official justified the embargo on grounds of official concern about Chávez overall actions against terrorism, his public statements in international forums addressing terrorism, his ties with states sponsoring terrorism, and his conduct towards terrorist organizations D., Byman (2022). "Understanding, and misunderstanding, state sponsorship of terrorism" . No. 45. Studies in Conflict & Terrorism. pp. 1031–1049. : a country like Venezuela could easily be added to the list of state sponsors of terrorism Rendon, Moises; Price, Max (2019). Are Sanctions Working in Venezuela? . Center for Strategic and International Studies . : [t]he Department of Treasury sanctioned dozens of government and military officials for charges including support for terrorism, drug and human trafficking, human rights violations, corruption, money laundering, other financial crimes, and illiberal behavior. Investigative outlet Insight Crime has also written the following in the past: Venezuela is a vital base of operations for dissidents from the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – FARC). [27] For decades, Venezuela had been a safe haven for leaders of the FARC, whose insurgent war to overthrow the Colombian government began in the 1960s. Senior commanders such as Duarte could live free from fear under the protection of the Venezuelan state led by President Hugo Chávez and later his successor Nicolás Maduro. But Duarte was the fourth senior ex-FARC commander assassinated in Venezuela in the space of a year. [28] Colombian guerrilla group the National Liberation Army (Ejército de Liberación Nacional – ELN) has used Venezuelan territory for decades, but its presence in the country has become increasingly important since 2000 as its Colombian operations have been squeezed by paramilitary groups and security forces. This coincided with the arrival of former Venezuela President Hugo Chávez in 1999. Chávez’s rise to power and his idea of a socialist model for Venezuela was the ELN’s entry point. The political platform of the late president shared similar ideas with the ELN. This would eventually benefit the ELN and other guerrilla groups in Colombia. [29] Two leaders of Spain’s Basque separatist group hiding out in Venezuela allegedly receive salaries from state entities, marking the latest accusations that the Venezuelan government aids and abets terrorist organizations. [30] The issue has been covered by scholars and journalists, and not just politicians. The evidence mostly points out to the FARC and ELN guerrilla groups, designated as terrorist organizations by many organizations and countries, so most accusations actually have come from Colombia and not from the United States. -- NoonIcarus ( talk ) 11:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk ) 11:49, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Venezuelan Minister Calls US Sanctions 'Economic Terrorism' Voice of America, September 12, 2019. Economic state terrorism is state terrorism. I'm not trying to be facecious, just that if kept, this is the direction this article will also necessarily have to go. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk ) 12:02, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] "We find that the sanctions have inflicted, and increasingly inflict, very serious harm to human life and health, including an estimated more than 40,000 deaths from 2017–2018". Economic Sanctions as Collective Punishment: The Case of Venezuela By Mark Weisbrot and Jeffrey Sachs, Center for Economic and Policy Research, 2019. Goldsztajn ( talk ) 12:23, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] While I understand the gist of your point, the scope of the article currently seems very clear and we're talking about different things: this page is about the confirmed or reported support from the Venezuelan state to terrorist organizations (not to be confused with state terrorism , which would be acts conducted by the state itself). This is consistent with other articles with the same convention: Iran , Israel , Pakistan , Qatar and even the United States themselves. If anything, in the case of the Assassination attempt of Rómulo Betancourt Venezuela was a victim of arguably state sponsored terrorism, and not a sponsor itself. Most of what you're describing falls under the scope of the United States and state terrorism and United States and state-sponsored terrorism articles, which already covers topics such as the 1976 Cubana de Aviación Flight 455 bombing , for instance. Yes, there can be content covered at the United States–Venezuela relations article, but over half of the current content is related to Colombia and not the US, and that would be without going into details about relations with Spain (ETA) or the Middle East (Hezbollah). Even without taking into account investigations by Insight Crime, there is plenty of reporting by newspapers of record such as El País , El Mundo and CNN , as well as Venezuelan journalists and activists. This topic is notable and extensive enough on its own to warrant its own article. Last but not least, is these concerns are issues that need to be fixed, thegy definitely fall under WP:BEFORE . Problems about content can be fixed through expansion or editing, not with deletion. -- NoonIcarus ( talk ) 12:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] "the scope of the article currently seems very clear" ... according to you, but that's just an assertion. If the article is only about a geopolitical dispute between the US and Venezuela then this can be covered in the article on relations between the countries. If the article is about state-sponsored terrorism and Venezuela then we need it all. One can only argue keep on the basis that the article covers all matters related to state sponsored terrorism and Venezuela. One can argue delete on the basis that an article on the geopolitical dispute between the countries is redundant, a fork and already able to be covered in the US-Venezuela relations article. It's one or the other. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk ) 13:29, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The scope is ultimately decided by the community, to prevent original research. And once again: most content is unrelated to the geopolitical conflict between the US and Venezuela. Best wishes, -- NoonIcarus ( talk ) 20:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] A lot of the claims you suggest would need to be included and would open the "Pandora's box" would not need to be included, either because they are not cases of state sponsorship of terrorism (1.-4.) or require taking Venezuelan government claims at face value (the rest), something even the cited articles do not do. Allan Nonymous ( talk ) 16:08, 22 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: After reviewing this great outline by @ Goldsztajn : (following their opening of Pandora's Box), it seems clear that NoonIcarus is attempting to create a POV fork article , especially since they arbitrarily determined that these are no longer allegations in the National Liberation Army (Colombia) [31] and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia [32] articles. The majority of these sources are from adversarial governments (Colombia and the US) or from "independent" sources funded by one of the former. Despite the changes, I continue to believe that this article needs to be deleted and its content should be placed in more appropriate articles.-- WMrapids ( talk ) 06:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm very dissapointed at this comment because you specifically said that " [i]f we can have independent, reliable sources documenting Venezuela's support for FARC and the ELN, I would remove my nomination " [33] . The backpedalling is very clear and ignores the work of journalists such as those from Venezuela, CNN or El País . -- NoonIcarus ( talk ) 13:57, 17 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Final relist. Several comments. Please do not misuse WP:BEFORE , this is a process that occurs by the nominator before the AFD is started, not during the AFD. Read the policy. Second, an assessment of the sources brought up here would be useful for the closer, whomever that is. Finally, do not veer into a discussion of the subject matter here, that can happen if there is a decision to Keep this article on the article talk page and just serves to double and triple the size of this AFD which can discourage new participation (which is what we need right now).

Talk! 06:25, 14 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep – The article was appropriately expanded during the discussion with several sources. I don't see anything really consistent arguing for deletion, and sources contradictory to the main body of the scope can also be added in a dedicated session. Svartner ( talk ) 05:29, 18 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Gonna lean decisively towards keep here, mainly because this article is about a significant policy the Venezuelan government has perused for which there is pretty compelling evidence for. The decisive factor here is that the original editor's argument with regards the veracity of the sources of the article is marginal. The FARC and ELN are not necessarily terrorist organizations, but both have certainly engaged in narco-terrorism , not to mention, there's this guy: Tareck El Aissami .

Arghavan Salles: Skynxnex ( talk ) 01:28, 30 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Profiles by American Womens Medical Association and Stanford, and the Time article (not specifically about her, but significant) should establish notability. She has an admirable publication record and has written for general media (e.g. the USA Today editorial). All of these are already cited in the article. Yes, the article tends toward the promotional and there are too many citations to social media, but these issues can be cleaned up without deletion. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk ) 01:40, 30 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Many valid references establish notability. Also of note: the nominator has no contributions other than this AfD.

I'm still of the opinion from the last AFD that there is enough coverage for notability (worth noting that one of the "delete" !votes there was an intentional revenge !vote by a user since interaction banned; not sure if that would have had any impact had it not occurred as it would have been an even weaker 1k-2d discussion); also relevant that this would be the only draft pick from the last 10 years missing an article.

Industrial Insect (talk) 12:09, 12 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I would like to add that the previous discussion's consensus on keep was a bunch of users claiming that "scorpion isn't a minor comic book character dude.", and " I like it ". Additionally, I like what user Higher Further Faster said; "In my opinion, if this page gets deleted, many pages should be deleted as well" I'm working on that right this second. Industrial Insect (talk) 12:14, 12 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] And you need to chill out on that because the volume of AfDs make it hard for anyone to research Keep votes and could be counterproductive. While I don't disagree on many of the noms going for articles on the grounds of some sort of "if you say so" to a comment in a past AfD is not a good look either. BoomboxTestarossa ( talk ) 13:47, 12 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I would like to apologize for that greatly. I got sorta delete happy upon noticing how many comic-related articles do not have any RS, so I figured this would be a big, productive way to contribute to the encyclopedia. And, if I understood that last bit correctly, I would like to clarify that, no, I did not start nominating articles for deletion because of that comment. It was more of an unnecessary snarky remark, as I had wanted to do this for weeks now, and I finally just started. Again, I would like to apologize. Industrial Insect (talk) 13:57, 12 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] No harm done, though snark isn't something I'd recommend in AfDs and nor is calling out an editor not in the discussion, as either could lead to misinterpretation about your motives =) Regarding the volume of nominations, I happen to be in full agreement that a number of Marvel pages don't warrant standalone pages and should be edited and merged into the character lists. However you must bear in mind that not all notable sources are on Google, particularly for niche examples, and to give people interested in doing so chance to check other resources. BoomboxTestarossa ( talk ) 14:37, 12 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per the claims of the last discussion that were made by @ StarTrekker : , @ Darkknight2149 : , @ BOZ : , @ Rhino131 : , and @ Higher Further Faster : .

Also, @ BoomboxTestarossa : is right about what he said to the nominator. -- Rtkat3 ( talk ) 19:07, 14 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The nominator should rethink their mass nominations of comics articles. ★Trekker ( talk ) 19:10, 14 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and Close The previous nomination was among the numerous low quality mass-nominations of character articles carried out by TTN, Piotrus, and others between 2020-2022.

Dark knight 2149 19:18, 14 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep based on sources found by ★Trekker in the last AFD - do you see anything for the more than a dozen other articles they nominated? BOZ ( talk ) 19:54, 14 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Fine. I'll tag @ Piotrus too, since he was the nom in the og discussion. None of the sources you found in the last AfD discuss him in detail. Additionally, no good arguments were made in the previous discussion, except for "he's not a niche character". Have you guys noticed we aren't fandom?

The closure of the stations has been started, in this series the work of controlling the loop lines inside and outside the railway station and removing the wireless equipment has started, in this series the loop lines were removed and the main lines were directed. Mohsinwal Railway Station was established one hundred and fourteen years ago, at that time it was named Harihar Railway Station as compared to Mouza Harihar, after a while Talamba Railway Station was named as compared to the nearby famous town of Talamba. In 1923, the Indian Railways planned a locomotive workshop here, for which six square meters of land was dedicated by the local Brahmin landowner Sajan Singh, therefore the British government renamed this station as Kot Sajan Singh. In the movement to give Islamic names to various places, this place also came under his influence, and thus it was named Mohsin Wal.

ISBN 978-1-60258-330-6 . Retrieved 2023-09-24 – via Internet Archive . The book provides extensive analysis of Aunt Bee. The book notes: "The links between the aunt as mother, the nuclear family, and cultural nostalgia for a sanitized version of American small-town life are starkly evident across the episodes of The Andy Griffith Show that centrally feature Aunt Bee (about 55 out of 249 original shows). Aunt Bee mothers both her widowed nephew, Sheriff Andy Taylor, and his son, Opie, in the absence of a wife and mother. Aunt Bee was introduced into the Griffith bachelor household in the premiere episode "The New Housekeeper. "" The plot centers on Opie's resistance to her and his eventual acceptance based on his realization of her need to care for him and his father and their need for maternal love and housekeeping order. Given that the show casts her as the maternal center of the Taylor family, she affirms the promise of the nuclear family as a source of nurture, resilience, and strength, offering cultural reassurance that the bosom of the family is larger than the biological mother (a reassurance physically embodied in the plump, matronly dowdiness of actress Frances Bavier)." The book later notes: "In spite of the assurances of the maternal aunt figure, Aunt Bee transgresses this depiction of idealized American family life in subtle ways that invite us to critically examine this representation of the maternal aunt and her place in the family. First, her presence unsettles the insularity and stability of the nuclear family. By standing in for the deceased mother, Aunt Bee marks an absence in the familial triangle, creating a dynamic imbalance that unsettles assumptions even as it affirms the value of the mother and the ideal family. In addition, Aunt Bee belies the cultural promise of feminine fulfillment in marriage, home, and family. Several episodes revolve around Aunt Bee's need to ..." Beck, Ken; Clark, Jim (2000) [1985].

She is Mayberry's Good Samaritan, and it is her tender heart, which is as wide as her kitchen, that makes everyone love her. It can truly be said that a stranger has never entered the Taylor house, because Aunt Bee makes all feel right at home immediately. Bee takes mighty fine care of Andy and Opie by nourishing them both physically and spiritually. The coffeepot is never empty, and the cookie jar is always full in Aunt Bee's kitchen. And there's plenty of homemade loving to go around." Kelly, Richard (1981). "Aunt Bee and Opie" . The Andy Griffith Show . Winston-Salem, South Carolina: John F. Blair. pp. 45 – 46 . ISBN 0-89587-043-6 . Retrieved 2023-09-24 – via Internet Archive . The book notes: "The character of Aunt Bee, played by Frances Bavier, provided a stable domestic center for Andy and Opie. Like Griffith, Knotts, and Dodson, she had a strong theatrical background. ... The Andy Griffith Show provided her with her longest and most successful run—from 1960 to 1971. Unlike Griffith, she continued in the series when it became Mayberry, R.F.D. As the fussing and matronly Aunt Bee, Bavier's acting was always precise. Kindly, sympathetic, domestic, and somewhat naive, Aunt Bee was at her best when housekeeping for the Taylors or becoming "tiddly" after purchasing some tonic from an itinerant medicine man. Although she sometimes provided complications for Andy—as when she appeared to be dating the married butter-and-egg man, or when she went off on a visit, leaving Andy to maintain order in the house—she ostensibly served as a sort of mother-aunt-wife to Andy, one who looked after his home, son, and stomach. They cared for each other, respected each other, but there was not a strong emotional tie between them. Both characters, but especially Aunt Bee kept a tight rein on their feelings in favor of domestic and social propriety." Beck, Ken; Clark, Jim (1991). "Aunt Bee" . Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook .

The book notes: "It's no surprise that a cook as wonderful as Aunt Bee can't keep her talents hidden under a bushel basket. She once entertained international palates when a Russian-American summit meeting took place in her house. And she even went Oriental when she opened Aunt Bee's Canton Palace, a Chinese restau- rant. Though an unpretentious soul, Aunt Bee has had her moments in the sun. She won the Tampico Tamale Contest with a grand prize of a trip to Mexico. ... What Aunt Bed means most of all to Mayberry is love. Whether it's her delicious cooking, her warm smile, or her caring hugs, nobody brings more heartfelt love to Mayberry than Aunt Bee."

The article notes: "At times, the benefits of expanded parentage and nonparent childcare orders over parental objection are clear: Opies need Aunt Bees, and Aunt Bees need Opies. Andy clearly invited Bee to help rear Opie. In the event of a falling out, any newfound displeasure Andy had with Bee would probably have nothing to do with Bee’s care of—or love for—Opie. Allowing courts to order continuing contact between Bee and Opie on Bee’s request and over Andy’s objection in order to serve Opie’s interests seems quite sensible." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Aunt Bee to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Cunard ( talk ) 08:38, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not sure how reliable or independent the fourth source is because it is a cookbook based on Aunt Bee's recipes, and the note is from the introduction of the character.

"(Not) Like a Mother: Black and White Maternal Aunts". Exactly as the title promises, this work is about aunts and their maternal role in black and white families. The passages on Aunt Bee are used, as many other characters are used , to drive the points made in the book about the idealized American family and other notions. This is a book, if we must take it down to the plainest of descriptions, about aunts ; and not about a specific aunt. In plain terms, every aunt referenced in this book does not acquire the attribute of notability. Beck, Ken; Clark, Jim (2000) [1985]. "Aunt Bee Taylor" in The Andy Griffith Show Is every character in that show notable enough to merit a separate, dedicated Wikipedia article? This book reveals its hand on the cover, where we read that it's The Complete Guide to one of Television's Best Shows. The key word here is "complete." And, as promised, it has chapters dedicated to each and every speaking character that passed in front of the show's cameras. One is on aunt Bee. So, essentially, a directory of characters, enriched with photos and history. Mayors Pike and Stoner get their write up but they dare not wade inside Wikipedia. Kelly, Richard (1981). "Aunt Bee and Opie". The Andy Griffith Show. Another completist's tome. Aunt Bee appears in the sub-chapter "Aunt Bee and Opie", part of the chapter "Developing a Cast". Although the quote appended in the book's citation above appears promising, in reality it offers just a tad more than a TV Guide ' s presentation of a show's characters. This, too, is a directory. What it certainly is not is something dedicated, to any extent, to our contested, beloved aunt. Beck, Ken; Clark, Jim (1991). Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook . A commercial, tie-in cook book using the character's name to attract buyers. Nothing more. We've had soundtracks and other marketing offerings tied to the show. None of them, per se, rendered notable the character they used. Andy wore roper boots; we have a lemma on cowboy boots but not on roper boots, no matter how many times these boots got a write-up. I'm sorry. I loved that show, and I loved the character, but I'd be amiss in my work here if I were to base my suggestions on emotion or nostalgia. - The Gnome ( talk ) 11:30, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline says: " Significant coverage " addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. In "(Not) Like a Mother: Black and White Maternal Aunts", Aunt Bee receives extensive analysis on multiple pages. Even though she is not "the main topic of the source material", multiple pages of coverage clearly "addres[s] the topic directly and in detail". This article from The Journal of Popular Culture notes: The Andy Griffith Show is a nostalgic American popular cultural masterpiece valid for all time. Consistently ranked in the top ten television shows (and number one during its last season), The Andy Griffith Show ran on CBS from October 3, 1960, through the end of the 1967-68 season. It has had perpetual mass appeal in syndication, and since its debut, it has never been off the air. Learning its origins, revealing some behind-the-scenes aspects, and reviewing many of the episodes have led to the identification of specific factors that have contributed to the show's phenomenal success and endurance. Owing to its "perpetual mass appeal in syndication" and legacy, many books from academic publishers have covered the show in substantial detail. There is no support in policy to discount the coverage in academic books for being too detailed. The Andy Griffith Show ' s last new episode aired in 1968. The Andy Griffith Show Book: From Miracle Salve to Kerosene Cucumbers: the Complete Guide to One of Television's Best-loved Shows was first published 17 years later in 1985. Very few television shows receive this level of coverage 17 years after they have finished airing. Very few television characters have numerous pages in multiple books about them. Cunard ( talk ) 12:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Again, the show might be notable -and this one certainly is- but its notability does not pass on to every character independently. I guess we differ on what stand-alone lemmas need keeping and what not. Take care. - The Gnome ( talk ) 09:05, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Based on sources above. I agree that GNG does not say Aunt Bee would need to be the main topic of a scholarly work (meaning a book written entirely about her character). A discussion of Aunt Bee within a book about fictional aunts is fine for GNG, and a discussion about Aunt Bee within an independent and secondary book about the show (which they do appear to be) is also fine. Others may have a stricter interpretation of GNG, but to me we are well within the bounds of acceptability for an article. Rhino131 ( talk ) 12:58, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Greetings. Doesn't that line of argument make practically every character that appeared on the Andy Griffith Show notable enough to merit their own, stand-alone article? As Cunard wrote, there's a ton of written material about the show out there. - The Gnome ( talk ) 09:05, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It depends of the level of scholarly analysis. A simple mention that a certain character appeared in a certain episode is not Significant Coverage. But the above clearly shows there is more written about this particular character. The fact that a lot of books have been written on this show means there are lots of potential reliable sources out there, which are what we use to determine notability in articles. We go by what the sources say. Rhino131 ( talk ) 12:54, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

What's important in each and every case is that it be possible for someone to write encyclopedia article about the topic. The never-to-be-reached ideal is for every article to reach "Good Article" status. But note that Good Articles have no strict length requirement ( WP:GACR ), they merely need to cover the notability of the subject in appropriate breadth. It's not unlikely that most main or recurring characters on The Andy Griffith Show are individually notable given the place that show occupies in the American television canon and the syndication and coverage it's received over the past 80 years. — siro χ o 08:42, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Siroxo : Just notifying you that your signature didn't render correctly.

An independent editorial and video team oversees each sector. Editorial focus 80 per cent on parenting and health, 20 per cent on entertainment, celebrity and lifestyle. Parenting: general parenting news and education information through a section called 「Band 1 學堂」, which features information on kindergarten, primary and secondary school, elite education and overseas study. The publication has journalists, editors, and an independent editorial team. It is not an "advertorial" site. It aims to inform its readers about parenting and education topics.

Talk! 05:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . See my comments on the sources above; I do not believe they are sufficiently reliable nor offer enough significant coverage to meet GNG or NORG. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 22:28, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] All five sources provide significant coverage. For two of the sources, I linked to the wrong pages owing to how the website changes the URL to the next article when scrolling to the bottom of the current article. I've fixed the links. Cunard ( talk ) 08:51, 24 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I reviewed the new links and stand by my assessment. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 13:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete as per Dclemens1971 assessment. I don't believe the additional sources found help with notability. LibStar ( talk ) 03:06, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: I am surprised that reliable sources from a Chinese academic journal and Hong Kong newspapers are considered insufficient to establish notability. Sources likely these previously have been sufficient to establish notability for schools, which must meet only Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline and not Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria , which "establishes generally higher requirements for sources that are used to establish notability than for sources that are allowed as acceptable references within an article". An alternative to deletion is to merge to Tiu Keng Leng#Education , where this school is located. School articles should be merged, not deleted, when there is a suitable alternative to deletion. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future. Cunard ( talk ) 03:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] So are you now ! voting for merge not keep? LibStar ( talk ) 03:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] My first choice is a keep. My second choice is a merge if consensus is against a standalone article. The five sources I've listed were found through a Google search. Since editors consider them insufficient to establish notability, I will do a more exhaustive search for print sources. These are sources that cannot be found in a Google search. It takes a lot more time to do this exhaustive search, so I usually do the Google search approach first. The first source I found casts an unflattering light on the school as it says that 20% of the teachers resigned owing to being overworked. Here is the source: "真道書院9教師呈辭" [9 teachers from Union Logos Academy resign]. The Sun (in Chinese). 2005-08-04. p. A12. The article notes: "在電視節目《殘酷一叮》三連霸的「莫生」莫凱謙現正就讀的香港華人基督教聯會真道書院,今年將有五分一教師共九人離職,有教師指離職原因是因為工作辛苦。" From Google Translate: "One-fifth of the teachers from Hong Kong Chinese Christian Churches Union Logos Academy, where Mok Kai-him, who won three consecutive championships in the TV program "Cruel One", is currently studying, will resign this year. Some teachers said that the reason for resigning was because of the hard work." The article notes: "○二年創校的真道書院是一間直資一條龍學校,中小學共用約五十名教師,當中有近兩成共九名教師,在今學年完結後離任。" From Google Translate: "Founded in 2002, Union Logos Academy is a direct subsidy one-stop school with a total of about 50 teachers in primary and secondary schools. Among them, nearly 20%, a total of nine teachers, resigned after the end of this school year." I will keep searching for sources and when I'm done, I will post the rest of the sources here. I will do this within the next few hours. Cunard ( talk ) 04:40, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: I explained above why I didn't search for these sources earlier. I have found numerous additional sources about the school. I omitted the numerous positive articles and have focused on the negative articles since there were concerns earlier about the sources being "marketing" or "promotion". I think these sources should be sufficient to establish notability. If they are not, I could continue my search for sources since these are only some of the hundreds of results about the school that I found. Here are the additional sources.

The Sai Kung District Primary School Branch of the School Sports Federation believes that DS4 students should be defined as secondary school students since they receive secondary school subsidies. They are prohibited from participating in inter-elementary and inter-district competitions for the remainder of the school year." "直資校參加學界賽腰斬" [DSS schools lose half of their participation in school competition]. Oriental Daily (in Chinese). 2008-02-25. p. A20.

However, the school sports competition system is rigid and continues to be divided into primary and secondary schools. This has caused nearly a hundred 11-year-old students from a prestigious direct subsidy school to be divided. The courses he studied were equivalent to middle school courses, and he was refused to compete with the 11-year-old Primary 6 students in the traditional school system. The student's qualifications were immediately cut in half. The innocent student became a victim of political struggles under the bureaucracy." The school was harshly criticised in 2010 by Hong Kong's Audit Commission for administrative misconduct regarding property purchases and tuition fees. This led to hearings by the Legislative Council Accounts Committee. It led to at least one hundred articles covering the fallout which spanned at least several months.

Li Yuhui, Chief Assistant Secretary of the Education Bureau, said that the school had increased fees in both the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 academic years, but the bureau found that the cash flow on August 31, 2009 was more than 70 million yuan, together with properties and fund stocks, which exceeded the reserve limit stipulated by the bureau. Due to the excessive surplus, the bureau has rejected its application for a tuition increase in the 2010/2011 academic year. The bureau said that approving a school to increase fees is not only based on the school's cash flow, but also on other factors. Secretary Sun Mingyang added that the school must obtain the consent of parents to increase fees, and the school must also submit a development plan, and the bureau will determine whether the school can have a large surplus."

Sources need to be reliable and establish notability, which requires significant coverage . I've already explained why I don't find source #3 to be SIGCOV of the show, rather than promotional/routine coverage of Jeff Corwin and the Georgia Aquarium. As for sources 1 and 2, while Common Sense Media is an RS for reviews per WP:RSPSS , the review isn't significant; it's one paragraph long and doesn't critically analyze the show. . Same with the Dove Foundation review. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser article likewise reads as a promo for the show (notwithstanding that it's from an independent source). voorts ( talk / contributions ) 21:49, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete as lacking any real significance. All coverage is routine and/or promotional in nature. -- SilverTiger12 ( talk ) 17:48, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to Weekend Adventure#Programming , or Jeff Corwin#Television On purpose it's designed to do nothing more than comply with educational programming requirements, nothing more than that. There's not much you can do to expand the article, and winning a Daytime Emmy Award is completely different from the primetime version most know. Nate • ( chatter ) 01:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: It is inaccurate to say that the Common Sense Media source is "one paragraph long and doesn't critically analyze the show". The review extensively discusses and analyzes the television show through its various sections: "Educational Value" (59 words) "Positive Messages" (35 words) "Positive Role Models" (49 words) Products & Purchases (15 words) "Parents Need to Know" (94 words) "What's the Story" (86 words) "Is It Any Good" (153 words) In total, the review provides 491 words of coverage about the subject and contains lots of critical analysis. This clearly is significant coverage of the show. The Dove Foundation review provides 188 words of coverage about the subject, which is also significant coverage. These two sources by themselves are sufficient for Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline . It is inaccurate to dismiss television show reviews in reliable sources as being "routine" or "promotional". The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser articles are independent of the subject and provide significant coverage. Sources are not disqualified from establishing notability just because they present a positive view of the subject. It is inaccurate to say that "There's not much you can do to expand the article". The article can be substantially expanded through the extensive coverage in the sources I provided. Cunard ( talk ) 06:16, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep based on what has been found online.

BNN Breaking: I guess this article does not meet the Notability criteria. The lead section does not have any citation. Few references are used many times.

As per my experience here, the company does not have a single in-depth coverage in any reliable source, just the same articles talking about the same thing and routine blogs not even written by the source's staff, and the whole article is rather an opinion than encyclopedia material. I have not encountered any Wikipedia article about a media company—or any company, for that matter—framed in such a manner that it meets inclusion criteria.

George John Seaton: All the significant sources dealing with the topic are written by the subject. All others simply reference background story and not the subject. Fails WP:GNG . An earlier version was draftified because it lacked any credible claim to notability, so the same authored simply created this new version in mainspace without improving notability.

Velella Velella Talk 15:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - as well as the lack of notability, the whole thing reads like a school essay. Or maybe from a chat-bot. This is highlighted by the following comment in the lede: "This article explores George John Seaton's life as a prisoner, slave, and man. It will include researched documentation as well as information from his personal book, Isle of the Damned , to piece together the story of this man's intriguing life."-- Gronk Oz ( talk ) 12:25, 6 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It reads like a school essay because the person who wrote the article, Jeorgiaobrien, is a university student who made it for an assignment. Just putting that out there in case anyone else who comes across this doesn't know. Sadustu Tau ( talk ) 15:50, 9 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I propose moving the article into the draftspace. As the user above noted, this is part of a student assignment, in which first-year college students are grappling with understanding the differences between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. The article was prematurely moved to the mainspace and correctly flagged—but it can be turned into a feasible Wikipedia article because there is a relevant source base. Seaton’s notability primarily arises from the extensive reception of his autobiography, which occurred in two waves: 1) initial reception upon publication in the early 1950s, around the time Devil's Island ceased operations as a penal colony, by a largely Anglophone public and 2) the use of his autobiographical account in the contemporary historiography on French Guiana and related topics that reach from the treatment of prisoners across the French Empire to examples of queer sexuality during incarceration. In short, given that there is only a limited number of prisoners’ own accounts from their time in French Guiana (some of which have further been debunked as hoaxes), Seaton’s autobiography has become a standard historical source among scholars—and he, by extension, a model prisoner of sorts. I have advised the student to make the necessary edits to turn this article into a proper encyclopedic essay, and to restructure it around the significance of his autobiography, which can be properly verified with secondary sources. We would appreciate it if she received the opportunity to make these edits in the draftspace. Outcasts&Outlaws ( talk ) 17:08, 10 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - as nominator, I have no problem with this being moved back to Draft. I would have done so myself had there not already been a Draft in existnce preventing the new version being draftified. It will therefore need an Admin to do the draftification. However, I or any other editor, will still have be convinced by the sourcing that this person is indeed notable and not simply a self publicist, before accepting it in Mainspace. Velella Velella Talk 17:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - as the only ! voter, I am also happy with draftification. -- Gronk Oz ( talk ) 23:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I am the author of this article. I am continuously working on the article, so it meets the notability requirements. There are no longer any direct quotes from Seaton's autobiography and any wording that may sound like an essay has been removed. Here is a list of secondary sources that speak directly of Seaton and are sourced throughout the article: Negros with Slaves by Jet Magazine, Words of the Week by Jet Magazine, Space in the Tropics by Peter Redfield (University of California Press), and Empire of the Underworld (Harvard University Press). Jeorgiaobrien ( talk ) 16:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] As I have been working on improving the article, there are now over 10 new sources that are all secondary sources and relate to George John Seaton. I have implemented many changes including formatting, word choice, and the removal of any primary source quotes. Please review this article once again. If you have more improvements you would like me to make, please visit my talk page. I will be happy to continue to make changes. After reviewing the article, if it meets notability requirements then I would love for this article to no longer be flagged for deletion.

Jeorgiaobrien ( talk ) 03:23, 12 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Change ! vote to Keep - the changes described above tip the scales (just) in my opinion. I would still like to see the article's tone cleaned up to fix unsupported phrases like "notoriously one of the worst penal colonies of its time", "if imprisonment didn't kill a prisoner, then disease would", etc. and to spend less space discussing Papillon in two different sections. But I think this can be done in place rather that draftifying. -- Gronk Oz ( talk ) 05:12, 12 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - From a brief look at this article and its references, perhaps it could be retitled Isle of the Damned and be restructured to be about the book/s Isles and Scars - their reviews and reception, use by University of Michigan, comparisons, censorship, etc? It would of course include a potted bio of Seaton. Is there enough for WP:NBOOK ? JennyOz ( talk ) 07:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks, L iz Read! Talk! 22:41, 19 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment as the nominator, I still remain uncertain about notability. As indicated above, I would be content with draftification to allow for improvement. I don't have access to any of the sources added during the recent major revision, but from their context it appears that the content of the book has been used in historical analysis both about the prison and its treatment of prisoners and other topics. Had this article been about the book, this may well have been sufficiet to demonstrate notability, but since , in this case, notability dependends on demonstrating multiple reliable sources that discuss the subject, I cannot be sure that that has been achieved, especially as most of the claims to notability are bundled into a single short paragraph at the end. Those with access to the quoted sources may possibly disagree, in which case I would be content to defer to their better understanding. Velella Velella Talk 22:44, 22 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I understand your uncertainty about the article's notability but the changes you first requested when you flagged my article for deletion have since been implemented. As for the accessibility of sources, nearly all of these sources come from publications made by recognized universities or from google books, etc. You should not have trouble accessing these sources if you wish to learn more. The only sources you may have trouble retrieving are the sources pulled from my university's archives. However, being that we are a research university, it is possible to access these upon reaching out to the university. We did in fact leave out any claim that Seaton's book is credible. This is because the book is not being used as a source in the article but is instead just being referenced. My professor and I felt that it was more scholarly to explain how the book has been used in case studies rather than trying to persuade readers that the book is credible. From your comment, it seems that your biggest issue with the article is the uncertainty that the sources are referencing Seaton himself. Most of these sources do speak directly of Seaton and were published after devil's island was closed in 1953. Seaton gained popularity for surviving the island which led to news coverage of him. These articles are all sourced in the article and as mentioned above they are public access if you wish to find them. As the nominator, please give specific examples of what you would like changed in order to ensure notability and I will do so. I want to once again emphasize that nearly all of these sources can be accessed by the public and are available online. This can reassure you that subject matter is being reported on directly and not the context surrounding him. Jeorgiaobrien ( talk ) 20:52, 24 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment from a leaning-towards-a-Delete-! vote contributor: What's with the numerous assignments in academic institutions for students to "create a Wikipedia article"? Since when Wikipedia's criteria for article creation are the same as the criteria for academic papers? Such a practice endangers the objectivity of contributors evaluating the text as worthy of being in the encyclopaedia. I, for one, would perhaps hesitate to ! vote for Deletion if that means the student's grading suffers! And we are essentially asked to do a supervising professor's job, when we assess a student's work. P.S. As it happens, I find the subject lacking in independent notability on the basis of reliable sources . But the issue of academic papers flooding Wikipedia is more important. We should bear in mind this , for instance. - The Gnome ( talk ) 14:03, 24 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Hello. I am the creator of this article. As mentioned, I am a university student, and by no means an expert in writing encyclopedias. However, our class carefully trained with a Wikipedia representative from the Wikipedia Education Foundation (a group focused on building articles made by students). As well as help from our professor, who has a PhD in the topic, helped curate and edit our articles to meet Wikipedia standards. Since there has been issues with my particular article being granted publishing rights, she has stepped in to help me tremendously hoping to make this article go live. Overall, our class is simply trying to share the stories of people who have been othered in history. A few of my sources are pulled from the University Library and Library Archives at Washington University in St. Louis. However, the rest of the sources are all available online and should be accessible to the public. I am unsure why accessing the sources has been an issue. Many of these sources have public access from esteemed Universities and others are published on google books, etc. The original nomination for deletion was made due to the use of a primary source. This information has since been removed. My professor and I have added multiple new sources that are accessible through online databases and take the place of the primary source. As mentioned by the nominator ( User:Velella ), there is less emphasis on the book's notability. This was done on purpose, as we felt it was more scholarly to give facts about how the autobiography by Seaton has been used as case studies for prisons and prisoner homosexuality versus trying to make a biased claim that the book is credible. We also thought that including the credibility of the book was irrelevant to the article because there is no source usage of the book in the article any longer. I would love more feedback for what changes you think this article may need. My class ends very quickly so I am hoping to have an article that is able to go live. Thanks.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 11:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - the significant coverage from multiple major news sites is about her career, not just her death. As many other people have pointed out in this AfD, her career was as notable as many male footballers with WP articles. Lijil ( talk ) 12:04, 30 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - tragic situation, but not a notable individual I'm afraid. Giant Snowman 11:58, 22 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Notability is defined by coverage in reliable sources. These are BBC, Sky Sports, Athletic, The Guardian, more than enough. Kirill C1 ( talk ) 10:06, 23 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That is false. 2A02:2F0E:813:B800:4C61:E719:3BF2:41DE ( talk ) 17:12, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . All the references were published upon her death, and don't state much more than her death and platitudes from those who knew her. She was not notable according to Wikipedia criteria. Ira Leviton ( talk ) 13:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The sources should be reliable and independent from subject. There is no requirement for them to be published before deaths. There are plenty of articles that exist only with sources that were published after death of the person. Kirill C1 ( talk ) 09:52, 23 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment So all those news organisations are going to be ignored? What's the point of GNG if you don't want to use it?

Kirill C1 ( talk ) 09:53, 23 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete The Toronto Star et al are because AP filed a story on her untimely death, not because reporters in Toronto followed her career or, indeed, knew who she was. It's almost inconceivable that they, or any other medium, will file further stories because other than the circumstance of her early passing, she was not a notable public figure. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 13:37, 22 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "Toronto Star et al are because AP filed a story on her untimely death, not because reporters in Toronto followed her career or, indeed, knew who she was" This doesn't work like that. We need coverage in reliable sources, we don't speculate on the reasons of why coverage exists. Kirill C1 ( talk ) 09:55, 23 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] 'We' might reflect that a newswire like AP being picked up by global media is not global fame, it's a newswire piece that is news because of her tragically untimely death. Absent that, AP would not have filed and editors from the Cincinatti Conveyancer wouldn't have the chance to pull the story from the wire to fill space. Whoever 'we' are... Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 15:22, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The global fame is not necessary for having an article.

The coverage does not have to be from before the subject's death, indeed, we have many historical bios sourced largely from obituaries. The only issue would be if the coverage was only about her death (BLP1E) — which it isn't. It's post-mortem coverage about the life of someone notable: she was evidently quite a successful footballer, who also had a career in media and was popular locally. The article could be expanded, but the notability requirements are easily met. And as someone said, a second flight and youth international footballer (especially the record caps-holder for their club) in men's football would never have the notability questioned. It is sad that she had to die to get widespread SIGCOV, but we can take the sources for what they are. Kingsif ( talk ) 19:21, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] a second flight and youth international footballer (especially the record caps-holder for their club) in men's football would never have the notability questioned. How many male footballer AfDs have you participated in that you can make that claim? Because that statement is very inconsistent with what actually happens at AfD. This also is clearly a BIO1E issue: the non-trivial coverage is all concentrated in the days following her death. JoelleJay ( talk ) 23:33, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You see me around sports bio AfDs enough, maybe you can count. But don't be pedantic, you know it is generally true. E.g.: I picked a random EFL team (fourth flight Bradford City A.F.C. ) and only 3 of their 38 players don't have an article, with only 7 of the players making youth international appearances. It's also clearly not a BIO1E issue – as I literally said in my reason – because the coverage is not only about her death, it's about her life, just occurring around her death. I might be inclined to suggest an AfD TBAN for you: all you do in AfDs is try to shoehorn random policy reasons to delete to fit any nom, when the policies rarely apply, just listing acronyms without explanation – and then you moodily reply with nonsense like this to anyone who gives good reasons to keep. It's not appropriate behaviour. Kingsif ( talk ) 00:07, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:SUSTAINED says Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time . It's the attention that needs to be sustained, not the time period covered by the attention. BIO1E also demands the context should be outside a single event; that doesn't meant the focus of the coverage must be entirely on that event, it means that the coverage should be in other contexts. Since all of this coverage is in the context of her death, it does not meet that criterion. JoelleJay ( talk ) 17:41, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] No second-tier Sheffield United player would have been even proposed to deletion, especially if he had youth caps. Or any player from Championship, for that matter. Kirill C1 ( talk ) 21:27, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Enough notable sources.

I have contributions on Wikipedia going back to 2007 217.28.6.171 ( talk ) 05:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . The sourcing is exclusively reports of her death, with nothing actually demonstrating she was the subject of sustained, significant coverage . The article fails NOTNEWS, NOTMEMORIAL, and BLP1E/BIO1E. JoelleJay ( talk ) 23:27, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The present SIGCOV is not about her death, it is just being published after her death. If you're mentioning WP:NOTNEWS , the only part of that I can imagine being relevant to an RD bio is "not celebrity ticker" - but that's about "just because a notable person did something, doesn't mean the thing is notable enough to mention". Unless you're suggesting the bio is a current events article? You surely know that WP:NOTMEMORIAL is just a reminder that new articles about deceased people must meet other notability guidelines, that it isn't a guideline in itself, i.e. referring to it is not a reason to delete. How about you learn what the policies you love to overcite without any elaboration actually mean before continuing at AfD. Your ! votes are always misleading at best . Kingsif ( talk ) 00:15, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The coverage is about her death with a few lines about her career. "she played 100 times/works in marketing/list of previous clubs" is not SIGCOV regardless of how many times it is spammed in her article. Dougal18 ( talk ) 10:10, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sigcov asks that the RS coverage has more than passing mention about the subject — it feels like you're trying to say that there isn't enough in the sources about just the football to demonstrate that the subject is notable as an individual, when the point of Sigcov is that having sources dedicated about the subject shows that the RS editorially considers them notable enough to write extensively about. So it's not to the same extent but it seems like you are (probably unintentionally as vague references to policy do over time deviate) also tweaking what the guidelines actually are with a mind to deletion. Kingsif ( talk ) 12:24, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It doesn't matter if the content is what we would normally consider "significant" if it fails WP:SUSTAINED. JoelleJay ( talk ) 18:32, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete I agree with Dougal18 above, the coverage is not significant, it's just reposting of the same few lines of content about her career, no matter how many sources post that same information, that doesn't mean she passes WP:GNG because of this WP:ROUTINE coverage. 100 appearances for a lower league team also didn't generate enough significant, independent coverage either to pass WP:GNG either. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 11:07, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Calling second flight a lower league seems like deliberate downplaying; it's still a pro league. Lack of independent Sigcov at the time can also be seen with female footballers achieving such milestones in Chanpions League teams, we're not here to RGW but we can accept simply belated sources for something that we all know is notable. Kingsif ( talk ) 12:24, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] we're not here to RGW no we aren't, so if she doesn't pass WP:GNG , then she shouldn't have an article. And nobody (not even any of the keep voters) have demonstrated multiple sources of significant coverage, which is what GNG requires. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 13:23, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per WP:GNG . If she only had an obit in a local newspaper, I'd likely agree with delete voters, but Cusack has received SIGCOV in major media outlets around the world, including BBC ( here and here ) , The Times ( here ), The Sun ( here , here , here , here ), Daily Mail ( here , here , here , here , here , here ), Colombia ( here ), Spain ( here ), France ( here ), Italy ( here ), Argentina ( here and here ), Canada ( here ) and USA ( here and here ). I doubt there's more than 50 women footballers who have ever received such breadth of international coverage. Warrants a stand-alone encyclopedia article. Cbl62 ( talk ) 14:23, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] All of those are just reprints of the same information, which is just a basic career summary. The same thing reprinted in 20 newspapers doesn't make it more significant coverage. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 15:26, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "All of those are just reprints" That's simply false, and I don't understand why you would resort to such misrepresntation. By way of example, there are five or six completely separate pieces in The Daily Mail alone. You also ignore the main point -- the worldwide interest in this person bears importantly on her notability. I think you have become too invested in trying to delete this article. Cbl62 ( talk ) 15:55, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Let's not personalise this? Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 16:02, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Pointing out a blatant misrepresentation of fact is not personalizing. Cbl62 ( talk ) 16:05, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Please read my comment below instead of repeating the same baseless accusations. The sources that are reliable sources are almost all reprints of the Associated Press . I don't require a reply of you accusing me of misrepresenting yet again... Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 16:09, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "I think you have become too invested in trying to delete this article." is pretty personal. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 16:15, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] ( edit conflict ) The Sun and Daily Mail aren't reliable sources, so I ignored them from your list (and they cannot be considered towards WP:GNG as they are both perennial sources ). All of the other countries' articles are just translations of the same basic information about her- it isn't significant coverage as per the Wikipedia definition. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 16:03, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] BBC and The Times are among the most reliable sources known to mankind. Also, I am familiar with the Wikipedia definition of WP:SIGCOV , and each of the articles linked "addresses the topic directly and in detail" and consists of "more than a trivial mention." I am trying to better understand your fierce opposition to the Maddy Cusack article. As someone who has created so many stand-alone articles on women with far less SIGCOV than Cusack (e.g., Kathleen Lidderdale , Judith Webb ), it is somewhat puzzling. Cbl62 ( talk ) 16:12, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Again, you're going ad hominem here - can we perhaps stick to the policy based discussion? Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 16:16, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Will do. The assertion that all 20-some articles were "reprints" riled me up a bit. Cbl62 ( talk ) 16:20, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Other articles I've created are irrelevant to this discussion. I don't have an agenda with this article, contrary to what Cbl62 is trying to accuse me of. I don't require any further responses from this editor who just wants to accuse me of some made up bias, WP:ANI will be consulted if they continue this line of attack. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 16:23, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I struck my comment about your other articles and expressed my agreement with Alexandermcnabb's apt suggestion before you added your last comment about WP:ANI . Nothing I wrote was intended as a personal attack. I apologize if you viewed it that way and suggest we move on. You are, of course, free to consult ANI if you feel strongly. Cbl62 ( talk ) 16:45, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Things get reported widely in the news all the time. That doesn't mean they are notable. Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time means that the attention should be received over a significant period of time, not just in a short burst. We've maintained this standard for thousands of victims of tragedies who are profiled significantly in worldwide media upon their death and then never discussed again. This and this BBC pieces are primary reporting entirely in the context of her death. The Times piece is another version of the second BBC article. The Sun and Daily Mail are deprecated so can't be used for anything here (I recommend adding this script that highlights consensus-unreliable sources in pink). Each of the other sources you mention is a variation on the same announcement of her death. If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual . JoelleJay ( talk ) 17:59, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Women athletes do not get reported on this widely "all the time." To the contrary, the coverage here is worldwide and quite extraordinary for a woman athlete. People can and often do pass WP:GNG based on coverage that develops at the time of death -- it is a natural time to summarize and report on the person's life accomplishments. I've not previously seen editors try to use the "one-event" guideline to exclude obituary coverage. That's not consistent with my understanding. The "one-event" guideline applies to someone who has briefly received coverage of a single event in their lives. Here, coverage that follows the end of a person's life, and delves into their life's accomplishments (in this case a long athletic career), is quite different. Moreover, the rule you quote refers to "low-profile individuals" and professional athletes are the antithesis of low-profile individuals. Cbl62 ( talk ) 18:32, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] These aren't independent, in-depth obituaries, they are primary news reports on someone's sudden untimely death that include some details about her athletic career. We should not be evaluating notability based on what we think a normal amount of coverage "for a woman athlete" is, because this is not coverage of an athlete's accomplishments, it's coverage of a 27-year-old's mysterious and sudden death that repeats the exact same facts about her career as found in her club's press releases / AP : SUFC player since 2019, marketing executive for SUFC, reached the milestone of 100 appearances for SUFC, named vice-captain last month, longest-serving player in current squad, former youth player, list of former clubs, quotes from Stephen Bettis. These are not intellectually independent sources. And who says a pro athlete is automatically high-profile? JoelleJay ( talk ) 20:05, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The cited sources cover the tragic circumstances of her death and also cover her life and career in sufficient depth to constitute SIGCOV (I thought you had conceded that point above). The guideline's usage of "low profile" is derived from defamation and right of privacy/publicity laws wherein the law gives lesser protections to public figures . Under those bodies of law, it's pretty clear that someone who pursues a 12-year career as a professional athlete, performing their job in front of crowds of spectators, and who is also a "marketing executive" for the club, has not chosen a "low profile" lifestyle. Cbl62 ( talk ) 20:48, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I do not consider the coverage of her career to be SIGCOV, I was only stating that even if it was SIGCOV it would not pass our requirement for SUSTAINED coverage. And anyway the material about her career in these sources does not count toward notability because it is churnalized wholly from press releases. These are not independent sources separately researching her career, they are pure derivatives of at best one "independent" source (AP), which is itself almost entirely a repetition of a press release. Performing in a team sport does not automatically make someone a public figure, but that's also irrelevant because WP:N and NOTNEWS state that all subjects must receive sustained coverage, regardless of how "public" they are. JoelleJay ( talk ) 21:07, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] 1) The coverage of her career is SIGCOV. We disagree on that. 2) The very guideline you cited/quoted makes the connection between the need for sustained coverage with the person being low-profile, 3) the BBC , The Times , and the Associated Press are among mankind's most respected sources, not outlets for churnalism . Cbl62 ( talk ) 21:21, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] 1. News updates on the circumstances around her death are primary; if they were actually significant secondary independent coverage that would be a justification to create an article on the event "death of Maddy Cusack" instead of a biography, but they also fail NEVENT. The coverage of her career is wholly derivative of the press releases and therefore does not constitute independent secondary coverage regardless of how significant it is. 2. WP:N has no requirement that a subject be low-profile. I mistakenly cited BLP1E instead of SUSTAINED, but anyway BLP1E doesn't mean living* people of sufficiently high profile are the sole exceptions to our requirement that all subjects receive sustained attention. It is just applied as another means of protection for random people who receive coverage for some event. 3. Of course BBC and The Times can engage in churnalism. It would be slightly different if these news articles were actually going into significant, independent biographical detail, but they are not . They are regurgitating the same set of facts that were included in the press releases [28] [29] and/or AP. The BBC news pieces are reporting an update on her inquest and a tribute paid toward her. What biographical info on her career do they provide outside the context of her death? Cusack had been at the club since 2019 and became the first player to reach 100 appearances for the women's team last season. She also worked as a marketing executive at the Women's Championship club, who said they were "devastated" by her death. ... Cusack also played for Birmingham, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest before joining the Blades. [30] Midfielder Cusack - the first player to reach 100 appearances for the club's women's team last season - died last week aged 27. ... Cusack - who had been at the club since 2019 and also worked in the club's marketing department ... [31] The Times piece has these details: The Sheffield United midfielder Maddy Cusack has died at the age of 27, the club have announced. Cusack, named vice-captain last month, had just started her sixth season with the Yorkshire club in the Women’s Championship and was the longest-serving player in their squad. ... Cusack joined Sheffield United halfway through their first campaign in the women’s second tier in January 2019 and last season became the first woman to reach 100 appearances for the club. ... The former England youth international signed a new contract extension in July. [32] So again, where is the independent biographical coverage that demonstrates she is notable for her athletic career and not her death? JoelleJay ( talk ) 23:17, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Which news reports contain encyclopedic info on her career background that goes significantly beyond what is contained here: SUFC: Sheffield United Football Club is devastated to report the sad news of the passing of Maddy Cusack. Maddy, a women's team player since 2019 and marketing executive for the Football Club, passed away on Wednesday. A respected player, Maddy, 27, last season reached the milestone of 100 appearances for Sheffield United Women. Additionally, she was a valued colleague in the offices at Bramall Lane, moving over from the Sheffield United Community Foundation to the Club in 2021 to help market all areas of the Blades. Stephen Bettis, United's chief executive officer, commented: "This is heartbreaking news for everyone at Bramall Lane. Maddy had a unique position of being part of a number of teams at Sheffield United and was popular with everyone that she came into contact with. Her personality and professionalism made her a credit to her family - she will be sadly missed. Whilst taking in the news and moving forward, the Club will offer as much support as possible to Maddy's family, friends and colleagues." Discussions over suitable tributes and celebrating Maddy's life will continue privately. The Club and Maddy's family would appreciate a period of privacy and will not comment further at this sad time. AP: Maddy Cusack, a midfielder for the Sheffield United women’s team, has died at the age of 27, the club said Thursday. The team didn’t disclose any details about Cusack’s death. She was named as United’s vice-captain last month and had just started her sixth season with the team in the second-tier Women’s Championship, making her the longest-serving player in the current squad. “Sheffield United Football Club is devastated to report the sad news of the passing of Maddy Cusack,” the club said. “Maddy, a women’s team player since 2019 and marketing executive for the football club, passed away on Wednesday.” Cusack, a former England youth international, signed a contract extension with the club in July. “This is heartbreaking news for everyone at Bramall Lane,” chief executive Stephen Bettis said. “Maddy had a unique position of being part of a number of teams at Sheffield United and was popular with everyone that she came into contact with. “Her personality and professionalism made her a credit to her family — she will be sadly missed.” JoelleJay ( talk ) 21:19, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per the SIGCOV presented by Cbl62 and Oaktree b which have more than simple trivial mentions of Ms. Cusack.

The announcements of her death are all derived from an AP article / press releases , which are where all of the details on her career come from. [33] [34] [35] [36] These news pieces are not intellectually independent of each other and are not independent of the subject. The few articles that provide info beyond that are simply quoting other non-independent sources. [37] [38] One report [39] adds a few sentences of trivial non-encyclopedic detail ( The greatest shock is generated when taking into account that the footballer had played less than a month ago, on September 3, her last game with the team, starting in the 1-0 home defeat against Sunderland in the Championship .

"are not independent of the subject." The subject is the person that article is about, all these articles are independent. You are quoting WP:Notnews and even in this small subtract it says "events" The enduring notability — we already found sources pre-dating death. Kirill C1 ( talk ) 21:33, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sources must not be derived from each other or from press releases. Most of the sources are either reprints of the AP piece or churnalized from it and the press release. NOTNEWS applies to all topics, as should be evident by it saying "persons and events". Sources from before death have to also be significant and non-routine, and none of those sources are. JoelleJay ( talk ) 22:07, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There are plenty of articles about persons which are written mostly via obits, or even only based on obits.

This is way past general notability, there might be some mid-term lasting notability but I am sure it will die down after that. I don't see much after a year, but wikipedia is all about cataloging from biographies to paintings. We can always have a new AfD in a year, but as of now, it is doing no harm. Govvy ( talk ) 21:51, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Govvy , where is the independent SIGCOV of her? None of the articles so far provide any significant detail beyond regurgitating press releases, which are explicitly discounted from notability. JoelleJay ( talk ) 22:09, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Aww, @ JoelleJay : There is news and articles with information, thus coverage is available, which is WP:BASIC coverage. So... what I say is true from a certain point of view . Govvy ( talk ) 22:15, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Don't be condescending. NBIO explicitly says People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable , intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject . ... Articles may still not be created for such people if they fall under exclusionary criteria, such as being notable only for a single event , or such as those listed in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not . So where are these articles that are not substantively derived from the press releases/AP? And where is the evidence her notability does not stem from coverage of a single event? JoelleJay ( talk ) 22:26, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ JoelleJay : Condescending? Really? How long do you think I've been posting to AfDs in my lifetime? Policies do not need to be explained to me, and frankly I am bemused at times by people who think they can run a lecture. There are a wave of keep votes here, which clearly suggests something. This is a biography and at the same time it is recent news, you're more likely to offend people when posting about someone they care about is NOTNEWS! You need to be very careful now, as the way I see it, you failed to show any sense of honour to my previous post, nor respond in a kind and polite manner. Govvy ( talk ) 06:03, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] How else should I interpret that "aww" and youtube link? And I'd like to know how you think any of the biographical coverage actually satisfies It is common for multiple newspapers or journals to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works. Several journals simultaneously publishing different articles does not always constitute multiple works, especially when the authors are relying on the same sources, and merely restating the same information. JoelleJay ( talk ) 16:53, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] We have SIGCOV in at least three of the most respected news sources on our planet: BBC , The Times , and the Associated Press . These institutions are not known for engaging in churnalism . Cbl62 ( talk ) 16:58, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Except the only SIGCOV is of the circumstances of her death, which is primary news. The coverage of her background is directly and exclusively churnalized from the press releases and is therefore not eligible for GNG. It is common for multiple newspapers or journals to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works. Several journals simultaneously publishing different articles does not always constitute multiple works, especially when the authors are relying on the same sources, and merely restating the same information . And again, BBC, The Times, and AP absolutely engage in churnalism. [41] Flat Earth News (book) describes research showing 80% of stories in the Times, the Guardian, Independent, Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail were wholly or partially constructed from second-hand material provided by news agencies or public relations firms such as the Press Association. [42] Other research has found Outlets like The Telegraph, The Independent, and even the BBC repurposed up to 97% of their content from press releases in their stories, essentially copying and pasting their way to ad revenue. [43] [44] AP has even been automating some of its finance and sports reporting since 2015.. . [45] And all of that is besides the fact that the coverage is 100% in the context of her death and is not sustained whatsoever. JoelleJay ( talk ) 21:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Pinging @ Warofdreams here too. The ~7 facts on her background repeated in every one of these stories come directly from the press releases announcing her death: they were curated as her career highlights by the FA/SUFC, not independently dug up and determined to be important by news agencies. JoelleJay ( talk ) 21:12, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That's a pretty thin reed upon which to accuse the BBC and The Times of having engaged in churnalism . That multiple news organizations report the same facts is not evidence that they have done something untoward or unethical or engaged in what you call churnalism . Rather, it is evidence that the facts are the facts. You have no idea the extent of fact-checking and/or independent reporting undertaken by the BBC, The Times , and the Associated Press. For you to leap to the conclusion that each of these preeminent news organizations is simply engaging in unethical practices is rank speculation. If this type of argument were to prevail, then our reliable sourcing standards would be open to attack in every case. There are certain news sources that we can and should trust based on a long history of reliability and reputation for careful fact-checking: BBC and The Times would be at the top of that list. In cases where news organizations simply reprint press releases, an appeal to "churnalism" may be appropriate. But an attempt to neutralize reporting by the world's most respected news organizations, simply because there is an alignment of facts (and because, not surprisingly, the team's statements are a fundamental starting point in any reportage on this story), is several bridges too far. Cbl62 ( talk ) 11:53, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The Guardian ( here ) is yet another reliable source, and it has even more biographical information. The biographical facts reported by The Guardian include: (1) Cusack was "a Sheffield United footballer", (2) Cusack "died at the age of 27"; (3) Cusack "played for the women's team since 2019"; (4) Cusack made "more than 100 appearances for the club"; (5) Cusack "also worked for the club as a marketing executive"; (6) "the cause of death has not been disclosed"; (7) Cusack was "part of a number of teams at Sheffield United"; (8) Cusack "was popular with everyone that she came into contact with"; (9) "Cusack was the first player to reach 100 appearances for the club"; (10) Cusack previously worked for Sheffield United Community Foundation until 2021; (11) Cusack had recently "entered her sixth season"; (12) Cusack "also represented England at age-group level"; and (13) Cusack "previously played for Birmingham City". Cbl62 ( talk ) 18:03, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The further one digs, the clearer it becomes that the major newspapers have not simply copied and pasted the same seven facts from a press release. There are interviews with various sources and varying degrees of factual background included in the accounts . For example, The Independent ( here ) reported the following facts: (1) Cusack was "Sheffield United's longest-serving women's player"; (2) Cusack died at the age of 27; (3) Cusack was a midfielder; (4) Cusack "was named vice-captain last month:' (5) Cusack "had just started her sixth season"; (6) Cusack "had made over 100 appearances for the club" and "reached the milestone" in the prior season; (7) Cusack was "a women's team player since 2019"; (8) Cusack was also a "marketing executive for the Football Club"; (9) Cusack moved over from Sheffield United Community Foundation to the club's offices at Brmall Lane in 2921; (10) Cusack helped market all areas of the Blades football team; (11) "Cusack joined the Blades halfway through their first campaign" in January 2019; (12) Cusack was a "fomer England youth itnernational" player; and (13) Cusack "had signed a new contract extension with the Blades in July". Cbl62 ( talk ) 18:18, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Dude. First of all, churnalism isn't "unethical", it's a widespread practice in journalism that, as the research I cited states, is employed by The Times, the BBC, The Guardian, basically everywhere. You think any of these newspapers is individually instructing reporters to research Cusack's career in-depth? No, this is a low-importance human-interest news piece so all their original reporting is limited to the primary developments surrounding her death. These aren't obituaries. Second: literally every single one of those facts comes from the press releases . Not a single item is fresh. They even use the exact same wording ! Rehashing the info from contemporaneous press releases is the definition of churnalism and is explicitly discounted from GNG. Third: even if it wasn't derived from PR, this material would constitute one source . None of the papers are providing any additional biographical info whatsoever, let alone SIGCOV, so it doesn't even meet GNG anyway. Fourth: Even if coverage met GNG it would not constitute SUSTAINED attention. The only reason anyone is mentioning her sports career at all is due to one event, and the coverage is all inextricably linked to that event. It would be different if there was some sort of retrospective where the focus wasn't on the circumstances of her death, but that is not the case. JoelleJay ( talk ) 20:03, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "Dude"? What did I do to earn the title? As a Lebowski fan, I'm honored. Anyway, you're over-expansive assertion of churnalism, and your bald assertion that no fact-checking was done, is pure speculation and is undercut by the strong reputation for fact-checking by these preeminent sources. It's also undercut by the fact that each of the articles is presenting different subsets of fact in different ways. They are not simply reprinting a press release. The fact that "the facts are the facts" does not turn these reliable sources into unreliable (or unethical) churnalism factories. Cbl62 ( talk ) 22:29, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Significant coverage is coverage that is enough for article. We can write a fairly long article on her, coverage is significant. Kirill C1 ( talk ) 22:19, 29 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , although the large majority of press coverage is in response to her death, it covers her career. We should distinguish between coverage which arises solely because someone dies in a notable way - which could be one event - and coverage following someone's death which covers their notable life, as the sources cited do. Warofdreams talk 00:27, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , clearly passes GNG even if most of the coverage is post-mortem. -- Ortizesp ( talk ) 19:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , a lot of posthumous coverage of her football career but I also found news stories going back to 2020: Maddy Cusack confident Neil Redfearn can take Sheffield United Women in FA Women’s Superleague ( The Yorkshire Post , Sept 2020) Maddy Cusack agrees new deal with Sheffield United Women ( The Star , June 2021) Maddy Cusack: Long-serving Sheffield United midfielder commits to club for another season ( The Star , May 2022) Ackatsis ( talk ) 15:13, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] A couple of sentences specifically on Cusack does not pass GNG. Contract signings is routine coverage. If it wasn't then every footballer who signs a couple of contracts would be entitled to a Wiki article.

The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics). He was elected as a Fellow of Indian National Science Academy as well as Indian Academy of Sciences (1936) with well relaible sources. (See here ) The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions: The subject was the pioneer vice chancellor of Dibrugarh University , a public university in 1966 which already qualifies notability. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.

I am unclear what a "pioneer vice chancellor" is but if this is equivalent to being the president of a university, it would meet C6 as well. If this can be clarified by someone, it would be appreciated. Unfortunately I disagree with Otuọcha about his meeting the other criteria (for example the Journal of Science and Engineering Research of the Indian Institute of Technology is probably not a "major, well-established academic journal") but it would not matter, since meeting only one criterion of WP:NPROF is sufficient. Qflib ( talk ) 20:35, 26 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] In retrospect, subject may indeed meet C3 if he is a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Qflib ( talk ) 20:37, 26 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, Vice Chancellor is equivalent to President. He's not in the right field for the ICA Euler medal that the article links to; this INSA obit says it was the Euler medal of the USSR Academy of Sciences (and he wasn't the only recipient of it that year , at least). Adam Sampson ( talk ) 01:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I strongly believe C6 already passed him since it was correctly sources. For the award, was backed also with a reference from Google books, it obviously needs additional back up but from the website of a notable science academy, it was clearly written, so it's is reliable source. More researches need to be made on that award in general, cause I am seeing it went on defunct after the 1957 award till after ten years, could that be correct? Otuọcha ( talk ) 06:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] But a journal or publication of a National society is also notable.... Otuọcha ( talk ) 06:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Lukáš Jánošík: The only news website I found regarding him is an injury , but something tells me that it's more of a trivial mention. Using the keyword "Lukáš Janošík" on Google, even with "site:.sk", my search results only came up with database, club websites, passing mentions, and *facepalm* random namesakes. Clara A.

If nominator @ CuteDolphin712 : agrees these count as "in-depth coverage to meet GNG" I would request an early close here. C 679 11:07, 24 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The only possible GNG material is Mladá fronta Dnes, which you added on "MSK Žilina" sub-heading (first and second paragraph). The rest of additional sources are routine announcements. Clara A.

Cooper's (bakery): PARVAGE talk! 06:24, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink , Companies , and Bangladesh . PARVAGE talk! 06:24, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I agree that the sourcing on this one is a little patchy - but Bangladesh's Daily Star is pretty much it for English language media there and the rather purple tone of its journalism is about the standard. The nominator clearly has faced many CIR issues, including a current indefinite block, so there's that, too. And yet a 50-odd-branch chain of bakeries employing 500 people in Bangladesh would be analogous to something like Gregg's in the UK. So I'm going to IAR a little and propose this (also a mildly charming story) is kept. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 15:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Is there any non-English coverage which would put this one beyond a reasonable doubt? SportingFlyer T · C 20:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I found one more source, SportingFlyer , and sort of wish I hadn't (it was the death notice for Sufia Cooper)...

Nick Quintana: Joeykai ( talk ) 17:51, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Nevada-related deletion discussions . CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 18:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Arizona-related deletion discussions . CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 18:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Quintana meets the WP:GNG with sources such as [ [51] ] and [ [52] ]. Let'srun ( talk ) 00:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . The profile in the Arizona Daily Star states that it's a countdown of the "50 best athletes on the University of Arizona campus right now, with help from athletes, coaches, and those close to the program." This is not going to be fully independent coverage, and the fact that the author is doing these profiles for 50 current student-athletes at the school suggests this is closer to a routine local news profile. Note also that the author attended the same school, where he was presumably quite affiliated with Wildcats sporting staff through working at the school newspaper. The combination of all these factors makes me discount this source. The other news piece (from the same outlet) is a passing mention totaling two sentences on him. JoelleJay ( talk ) 01:13, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per below. JoelleJay ( talk ) 02:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Let'srun found some coverage that can contribute to GNG, but if that and what's in the article is all there is, it's short of where I put the GNG bar. – Muboshgu ( talk ) 19:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . There appears to be a good amount of coverage of him, e.g. Arizona Daily Star feature , another , another , another , then MLive , Detroit Free Press , The Arizona Republic , Detroit News , Baseball America , etc. @ JoelleJay and Muboshgu : BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 01:02, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The first two non-ADS are announcements that are routine for baseball coverage, the third is actually also by ADS, but the Detroit News one looks good. JoelleJay ( talk ) 01:59, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - I’m unable to access the ADS sources by Beanie, so I can’t comment on those. For the others, Detroit Free Press and Arizona Republic are both routine draft coverage and MLive is a retirement post that isn’t substantial. Of interest is Detroit News and Baseball America, which both cover Quintana’s struggles in the minors. While both have substantial content, plenty of other minor league players also struggle, don’t make it, and unfortunately don’t get an article as there wasn’t other notable coverage. There just isn’t anything else going for Quintana like being a top prospect that busted (he was a second-rounder with some power) that builds enough of a case to pass WP:GNG for me. Sources in article are mostly statistical and the sources provided by Letsrun is based on his time in college that seems routine. Searches for other sources just drew up more local college coverage or minor league trades that happen all the time. RolledOut34 // ( talk ) // ( cont ) 04:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The ADS sources are all extensive in-depth feature stories on Quintana. The Detroit News and Baseball America both do count towards GNG as whether "plenty of other minor league players struggle" is irrelevant; what matters is whether they have significant coverage which is all that is necessary for GNG. BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 16:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - meets GNG with the multiple feature articles posted by BeanieFan11. Hatman31 ( talk ) 17:17, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Beanie's findings. - Skipple ☎ 19:37, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.
