Next time, don't post these on Afd. There is lots of other coverage and recently.

Memoona Qudoos: However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that the subject only had minor roles in the majority of those television serials and films, thus failing to meet NACTOR. Anyone wishing to argue based on GNG must provide THREE, i repeat, THREE of the best coverages in RS -only. ROTM coverage like this , this and even INTERVIEWS like this is not enough to meet GNG. — Saqib ( talk I contribs ) 20:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Pakistan-related deletion discussions . — Saqib ( talk I contribs ) 20:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers , Women , and Television .

I am saying that it meets WP:NACTOR. It has mentioned her drama roles and her recent role of Shehna.

Thanks, signed, Rosguill talk 13:57, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep because the interviews in rather reliable sources have a presentation that might show her roles are signficant. If not why not DRAFTITY until better sources are found, so as to avoid the risk of constant recreations/deletion and mutual frustration? - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 13:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Mushy Yank , Roznama92News isn't even a RS. It's just one of the countless Urdu language newspapers circulated in Pakistan. And I wouldn't outright label the interview in The News as a paid placement since I lack evidence, but considering the nature of the questions posed by the interviewer, it's a plausible possibility. Anyhow, I'm fine with DRAFITIFICATION, though. — Saqib ( talk I contribs ) 14:28, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Talk! 09:00, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] SafariScribe , Fwiw - In Pakistani TV dramas, supporting roles do not have the same level of significance as in Western or even Indian TV series. — Saqib ( talk I contribs ) 09:45, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Then a policy should be initiated in Wikipedia:Village pump . Fwiw also, supporting roles can be notable when it has been done for multiple times. Why then do you see a supporting actor or actress awards? Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 09:49, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] SafariScribe , But the fact is she hasn't even really had any supporting roles in the series she's been in so far. No one's provided any evidence for it, not even for dramas like GT Road, Guddu, Farq, Nikah, Kalank, Umm-e-Haniya, and Jaisay Aapki Marzi , which she's known for. So, it seems she's just part of the ensemble cast . — Saqib ( talk I contribs ) 10:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak delete I am not convinced that the GNG or NACTOR have been met.

Ramswarup Ramsagar Multiple Campus: Onel 5969 TT me 10:19, 6 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Education and Nepal . Shellwood ( talk ) 11:09, 6 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Contest deletion nomination : @ Shellwood : , Why does this campus fail notability? It is one of the oldest constituent campuses under Tribhuvan University . Being unbiased, I request the nominator to see other articles on campuses in Nepal. Even Model Multiple College , which lies in same city which feels promotion and has not even refrenced. It is the college attained by first President of Nepal, Former Peputy Prime minister of Nepal, numerous Ministers of Nepal and renouned peoples in Nepal. Category:Tribhuvan University has 50+ articles which are less notable than this one. I feel a detail discussion is required to make a conclusion on all articles of this type in Nepal. Else I feel I have given much reference to this article. Franked2004 ( talk ) 11:38, 6 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a convincing argument at AfD. If you think those articles should be deleted, feel free to go through proper deletion processes with them, but that doesn't mean we should keep this one. See also User:Jéské Couriano/A brief history of AfC * Pppery * it has begun... 14:57, 6 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I've answered your implied challenge and started to clean up Category:Tribhuvan University - you're right, a lot of those cite no secondary sources at all, and I've either redirected or PRODDed them. But that's not an excuse to keep this article. Wikipedia (unfortunately) works by having a lot of unwated stuff lying around and editors semi-randomly bringing them to the spotlight to be cleaned out. To be clear, this article at the time I redirected it cited no secondary sources at all, and I haven't evaluated the suitability of the sources you added (and thus am not formally advocating deletion or re-redirecting). But you need to focus on the merits of those sources and whether they provide in-depth, independent coverage , not on calls for consistency. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:37, 7 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Well the sources mentioned on the articles are totally independent and based on national level reputed medias including Kantipur which is most popular news agency in Nepal. I can accept this article would have been un-notable before my edit. But the campus has more than seven thousand student which is greater number than what many universities have. I see the college is where first president of Nepal, Ram Baran Yadav and former deputy prime minister Bimalendra Nidhi have studied as well. Being even older than than the oldest university of Nepal, Tribhuvan University I see the article to be totally notable specially after the addition and uplifting of artcle that I have made. Franked2004 ( talk ) 18:34, 8 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep has been widely cited in reliable and mainstream Nepalese medias.

Thanks, – Joe ( talk ) 10:05, 25 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and tag for notability/viewpoints: the currently-cited articles from Annapurna [10] , Ekagaj [11] , Bahrakhari [12] and Kantipur TV [13] appear to have significant coverage of the subject, which is apparently also known by the acronym RARAB. It's not a clean case for GNG, but the nature of the reportage is suggestive of there being much more coverage out there as well. These references all report an apparently abysmal state of conditions at the campus itself which is reflected nowhere in the article. signed, Rosguill talk 02:36, 2 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Calls for the destruction of Israel: This article is a summary WP:POVFORK of various tangentially-related pages and is full of WP:SYNTH and WP:OR . For example, "so-and-so body says X." Then, "Palestinians do XX", which is implied as a violation of the previous sentence. The entire article is like this. WP:TNT . We have so many articles with overlapping scopes. Anti-Zionism , Antisemitism in the Arab world , Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud , Incitement to genocide , Palestinian political violence , Palestinian genocide accusation , Zionist entity , Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Israel , Second Holocaust ... I simply do not see what was the need of another article saying what so many others do. Wikipedia does not fragmentise other conflicts to this excessive degree. It makes navigating articles about this topic needlessly confusing.

VR (Please ping on reply) 16:08, 15 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I think that the topic area grants some leniency in matters of CFORK. For example Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Human rights violations against Palestinians by Israel . starship . paint ( RUN ) 23:42, 15 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] What's that Afd got to do with anything? Where does policy say "leniency" is granted? Can you explain what is the difference in the topic between "calls for the destruction of Israel" and "anti-zionism" ( defined as opposition to the existence of Israel in its current form). VR (Please ping on reply) 02:29, 16 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The article is adequately sourced. TH1980 ( talk ) 03:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - What pages do you contend this is a fork of? PrimaPrime ( talk ) 11:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] We have so many articles with overlapping scopes. Antisemitism in the Arab world , Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud , Incitement to genocide , Palestinian political violence , Palestinian genocide accusation , Zionist entity , Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Israel , Second Holocaust ... Crampcomes ( talk ) 07:17, 15 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Topics being related or overlapping somewhat doesn't make this article a fork; that would be if we already had a page like Opposition to Israel's existence . I agree that this conflict area has spawned a lot of articles focusing on rather trivial individual aspects thereof, and it might be better to merge some of them into longer and more general pages, but that's not an AFD question so long as each article in question does cover a distinctly notable topic. Maybe start a discussion over at WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration ? PrimaPrime ( talk ) 23:04, 15 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ PrimaPrime this page is a fork of anti-zionism . VR (Please ping on reply) 02:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That you just redirected that former redlink to your preferred topic does nothing to bolster your case.

The AfD justification is word-for-word the same as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Human rights violations against Palestinians by Israel , an article created by the nominator. In this case, the justification has nothing to do with the article nominated. For example, there's nothing in this article about the "Palestinians do X," or is this article a WP:POVFORK of any article. What are the article-specific examples of a policy-based justification for AfD? This reads as WP:Tendentious Longhornsg ( talk ) 05:54, 15 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] By the way, I noticed that the opening phrase of both was first (I assume) recently used by myself in an impulsive random patrol AfD in this topic area that was closed as speedy keep without votes… RadioactiveBoulevardier ( talk ) 15:26, 15 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This article looks to be a WP:FORK of anti-zionism . Can someone explain to me what is the difference between calling for Israel's destruction (article currently at AfD) and for opposing Israel's existence ( anti-zionism )? VR (Please ping on reply) 08:24, 15 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] To be clear, I support delete or redirect to Anti-Zionism . VR (Please ping on reply) 02:44, 16 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] These are two separate concepts, unfortunately muddied in today's politicized discourse where the meaning of ideas doesn't matter anymore.

It looks unlikely that there will be consensus to delete. VR does ask a valid question about the difference between Anti-Zionism and Calls for the destruction of Israel that I don't think either article makes clearly enough, so hopefully this discussion will prompt someone to make that difference clearer.

Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 06:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : I was able to find an academic book covering Churchill's animals ( Churchill's Menagerie: Winston Churchill and the Animal Kingdom ), as well as a couple of popular history books which may or may not be reliable ( [33] [34] , as well as the Selbert one cited in the article). I did not thoroughly search news articles, but a perfunctory look seems like there might be some more coverage there. Churchill's animals are covered at Winston Churchill#Artist, historian, and writer , so a merge or redirect there should also be considered. Curbon7 ( talk ) 08:38, 27 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per WP:GNG ; sources in the article plus those listed above. This is so much better than giving each notable/marginally notable pet its own individual Wikipedia article (as many heads-of-state pets have). As a group they are definitely notable and it's great to read about them all in one place. As a history article, your best bet for WP:BEFORE is library books. Cielquiparle ( talk ) 10:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete His pets don't have stand-alone notability. There's of course going to be at least some coverage of things like this for such a significant historical figure, but almost always this should be contained within the main article. Pointing towards pages like Pets of Vladimir Putin isn't a legitimate argument in favour of keeping this article. Willbb234 11:21, 27 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete or Merge per Willbb234. This is essentially a case of Churchill's notability spilling onto his pets, who have no notability of their own and therefore should not be covered apart from him. -- SilverTiger12 ( talk ) 15:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep It does oddly appear there's enough coverage of Churchill's pets to warrant a stand-alone or SPLIT article about them. Article could use some cleanup, and exasperation is not a deletion rationale. If there's nothing there after cleanup, and it can be fit into the regular article, then an upmerge is fine.

However, there are sufficient sources extant to write a decent article: for example, Nelson , one of Churchill's pets, is notable enough to merit his own article.

As a user of Wikipedia, I expect every single book I read to have a dedicated Wikipedia article about that book. As an editor of Wikipedia (for more than ten years through my homeschooling group editor account) I feel a responsibility to the users to provide them with the experience that I wish I had. From over a decade of experience editing Wikipedia, I know that all editors have a responsibility to all users to give them the best possible experience by preserving and building upon the collective knowledge of all human history, instead of shrinking and condensing it with waves of deletions. Like the keepers of the Library of Alexandria, we are meant to protect knowledge and should refuse to allow any article-burning bonfires that put at risk the collection we have built. Each time a group of experienced Wikipedia editors vote to delete an article about a topic which is likely to become more important, more noteworthy, and meaningful to more people in the future, the editors deprive untold numbers of future learners access to the inspiration to contribute to the quality of the articles that already exist. In all the years that I have edited Wikipedia, this tendency by certain other editors to see book burning as a useful housecleaning tool has repeatedly perplexed and stifled me. I would have contributed more to Wikipedia than I already have, in fact, if not for encountering this exact phenomenon which tells would-be editors that we have nothing of value to contribute, and the proof of our worthlessness is right in front of us on our screens where the value we would contribute has not yet been contributed so the missing contributions by virtue of being missing prove to us that nobody else considers our contributions to have value or somebody else would already have contributed what we are capable of contributing. Burning articles that do not yet have our contributions added to them because we have not yet contributed contributes to the high rate of article bonfire cleansing and the relatively low rate of editor contributions to improve the articles that need to be improved in order to be worthy of preservation. On a less poetic note I would like to point out that before I came along 4 out of 6 of the books in the Alcatraz series had dedicated articles. the first one did. the second one did. the third one did. the FIFTH one did. As a user the appearance of missing information is aggravating and distressing. As an editor I would like to draw your attention to Template:Infobox book . What exactly is the point of this: | preceded_by = <\! -- for books in a series -->
| followed_by = <\! -- for books in a series --> If we cannot provide to the user a complete and consistent path through every book in a series they are trying to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OceanCoombs ( talk • contribs ) 00:33, 29 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Every book? So you propose to get rid of the notability standard for Wikipedia? Only for books, or for every individual, every company? By your argument, deleting an article about an individual is akin to killing that person. There are places where you can read about all the books, for example GoodReads . Wikipedia is not GoodReads, nor is it a directory of everything ever published or everything that has ever existed, and it was never meant to be that. ... disco spinster talk 15:50, 29 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If OceanCoombs is really as new as the account's contributions suggest, this is borderline WP:BITEy behavior, discospinster . Surely we can all work to support people who are trying to enhance things without having 10+ years of Wikipedia history and policy knowledge to fall back on. Fact is, OC's point is relatively valid: Why have a break in an otherwise notable series? Notability is a norm, not a requirement, and while it may never be a Wikipedia-approved reason, having a series entry for a non-notable book in an otherwise notable book series is actually a reasonable exception to notability. We've been saying "there are no precedents!" for so long, we risk beginning to look unreasonable and unencyclopedic in such cases. Jclemens ( talk ) 04:41, 30 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] OceanCoombs, per their comment, is an editor with over 10 years experience, not a newcomer. Now if you want to talk about reasonable exceptions, that's one thing. But if you want to compare deleting an article to book burning, I will have to go ahead and disagree. It reminds me of the old "Wikipedia is stifling free speech" argument. Article deletion is a valid act and part of the maintenance of the encyclopedia, even if it hurts people's feelings. ... disco spinster talk 13:57, 30 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Ah, I had overlooked that, my apologies. And no, I did not, nor do I now, endorse a comparison between book burning and Wikipedia editorial processes. Jclemens ( talk ) 05:42, 1 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] A look at the previous speedy deletion and Objection to New Speedy Deletion [ edit ] In my opinion, the final vote for or against deletion in this case should be deferred for 30 days or more because the pending proposal for deletion is out of order. Consider how we got here: On the 21 August 2021 at 01:58 this page was nominated for deletion. and at 9:30 on the same day all the content of the page was replaced with a redirect. Effectively this was a speedy deletion that violated the Criteria for speedy deletion . See also this Field Guide to proper speedy deletion which emphasizes the mistake that was made previously when this book was deleted by replacement with redirect instead of being improved upon or even discussed in a proposal for deletion. My decision to restore the previous article and improve upon it is being interfered with by the new deletion proposal, which I understand to mean a vote to keep or delete may occur any time after seven days, and instead of spending time improving the article as I intended most of my Wikipedia editing time in the last 7 days has been spent here discussing whether to delete that which I intend to improve. The fact that the current deletion discussion is a result of my attempt to restore and improve the article strongly suggests to me that any decision to delete should first give enough time for improvements to be made AND that a deletion decision resulting from this discussion should be required to provide some proof that this book or this article (after it has been improved) somehow violates a Rule or Policy that MUST be enforced aggressively for some good editorial reason, because a decision to delete in this situation itself violates a fundamental premise of what Wikipedia is and why we are able to make it work: "Wikipedia is both a product and a process." The premise that it is perfectly acceptable for every article to always be under construction . Absent any affirmative proof that this book or article violate a Rule or Policy requiring deletion, a Rule or Policy that MUST be enforced in order to prevent harm or solve a problem caused by the existence of legitimate, useful, accurate, factual and reliably-sourced Wikipedia content (particularly when that content pertains to a book or a work of art which is part of culture and inherently interesting to more people as time goes by) such as harm caused by paid editing conflict-of-interest content in Wikipedia, or the harm caused by violations of editors' privacy rights or other privacy violation such as doxxing and articles about non-public people or children, an article such as one about a book or work of art ALWAYS deserves a presumption of innocence and an "under-construction" sign with a place for editors to do the work and for users to read and consider contributing to this work themselves. The current proposal for deletion contains no affirmative proof that this article violates any such Rule or Policy requiring speedy deletion or any deletion or revision such as the previous decision to replace the article content with a redirect to the author's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OceanCoombs ( talk • contribs ) 23:08, 3 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Stare Decisis [ edit ] Stare Decisis (a Latin phrase with the literal meaning of "to stand in the-things-that-have-been-decided") is the principle of deferring to previous decisions in deciding future verdicts. For 10 years since the creation of this page editors decided this book was worthy of the time and effort to dedicate a Wikipedia article about it. Stare Decisis should be the binding Precedent followed by all editors when we propose to overturn all previous editors' judgments allowing an article to have time to be improved upon and to render a different verdict. Under the principle of Stare Decisis we MUST find affirmative and clear evidence that the previous verdict rendered by every other editor for a decade was incorrect and MUST be reversed for a reason that improves Wikipedia going forward and makes the new decision that overturns the previous verdict more constructive as precedent. Here we do not have any evidence to suggest to us that the previous verdict was wrong, therefore, to stand in the things that have been decided, we MUST keep and improve this article about a book that might be notable already, might become more notable in the future, and is part of a notable book series authored by an historically-significant and notable author.

Outline of consulting: Oaktree b ( talk ) 00:18, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Hard to discuss a statement. It is more a discussion of what forms a scope for Wikipedia's in-out mechanisms, rather than whether it is an outline of consulting or not (I don't see how else one would construct an outline of consulting, namely). I thought it'd be a good idea to have an outline of a service industry that has a growing employment number as a result of the industrialization of the growing economy. Whether that is of encyclopedic or dictionary value, well it's maybe in the eyes of the beholder . . Danielsltt ( talk ) 07:32, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] But I want to be clear in that I'm not saying that you're wrong.

This list is nothing like a WP:DICDEF (dictionary definition) nor was it intended to be. It is a WP:OUTLINE , a type of navigational list. In a very rough and ready sort of way it is a list of "consulting careers/things" but is that any sort of problem, let alone a reason for deletion? Surely they are not "unrelated": if any items are unrelated they should be removed. I will not ! vote at present because I may be missing any important aspect and I hope all this can be clarified. Thincat ( talk ) 10:46, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] To be fair, I wasn't sure how to explain it. It starts out with prose stating it's attempting to explain consulting, then goes into a list. Oaktree b ( talk ) 11:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] A WP:OUTLINE is supposed to have a lead followed by a hierarchical list: "The purpose of the lead section in outlines is to present just enough description to uniquely identify and recognize the subject". What is the reason for deletion? Thincat ( talk ) 13:10, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I didn't think it met LIST. It appears as a badly titled "article" trying to explain the concept, doesn't that, then has a long list of things. I wasn't sure what to make of it. Oaktree b ( talk ) 20:14, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - whatever we may think of Wikipedia's approach to outlines, this one conforms to that, providing an overview of the encyclopedia's detailed coverage of the topic. No doubt it is useful to readers interested in such things. It would be nice if it were better-cited, but outlines are not even required to have refs, as it happens. Chiswick Chap ( talk ) 14:03, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That is what I was trying to do. It is a useful tool for overviews to rather large subjects in terms of scope.

Maeve Kennedy McKean: Townsend/McKean's death was in the news because she was a Kennedy who died young/tragically. While there is sourcing for items that pre-dated her death, none of those positions convey notability, nor did her CUNY role nor her son's role as the first great grandchild of RFK & Ethel. Most of the coverage of her work came to light not because of her work while alive but in light of her death. I don't believe her death was notable as it was ruled an accidental drowning. A merge to her mother is possible as this article could be trimmed without losing much. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions.

She was not just "A Kennedy who died young" (40 isn't necessarily young). She was a public health official and a member of the Obama Administration. Her death amplified more of this coverage, which in turn built more credible sources to establish notability. It doesn't matter when or how coverage of her work came to be. Many sources on historic figures were written well after a subject's death. Some people were lost to history, yet once written about, they become notable. You may not "believe her death was notable" but it was covered in international and national news sources for weeks. -- Willthacheerleader18 ( talk ) 15:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Health and fitness-related deletion discussions .

Cunard ( talk ) 00:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Cunard They seem very biographical and non-secondary to me. They just list out the career of the subject; per WP:SECONDARY , no "analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources" can be seen. Timothytyy ( talk ) 01:04, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria says: "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Any biography says: "3. The person has an entry in a country's standard national biographical dictionary (e.g. the Dictionary of National Biography )." Biographical dictionary lists reference publications titled Who's Who as an example. I consider inclusion in Chinese Communist Who's Who (published by a Taiwanese publisher) and A Dictionary of Modern Chinese Persons (published by a Japanese publisher) to be strong indicators of notability for a Chinese diplomat. Each of these sources is a synthesis of facts from primary or secondary sources that discuss the subject's biographical background. The authors of these books had to decide which facts were important enough to include in the subject's biography. Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources says: Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable , published secondary sources , and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources . Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and avoid novel interpretations of primary sources. Cunard ( talk ) 01:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You added a large chunk of undigested information, but you still didn't provide anything that meets the secondary source requiement, i.e. the requiement of GNG. You said these sources are "strong indicators of notability for a Chinese diplomat as each of these sources are synthesis of facts from primary or secondary sources", so you consider them to be notable. Are you able to find these secondary sources? If not, I don't see why it passes GNG or ANYBIO. Timothytyy ( talk ) 03:21, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I see no reason to dismiss either the Who's Who or A Dictionary of Modern Chinese Persons as being primary. Espresso Addict ( talk ) 04:03, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Never said they were primary, I believe they are tertiary. However the tertiary sources didn't provide any sources to their claims, so we aren't reaching any secondary sources, which I believe is the only type of source that helps an article pass GNG. Timothytyy ( talk ) 04:09, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] For both books, the Google Books snippet view does not show whether the entries cited any primary or secondary sources. The existence of any additional sources is immaterial since these two sources are sufficient. Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources says (bolding added for emphasis): "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable , published secondary sources , and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources . Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and avoid novel interpretations of primary sources." Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Any biography says: "3. The person has an entry in a country's standard national biographical dictionary (e.g. the Dictionary of National Biography )." The "no original research" policy and the "notability for people" guideline demonstrate that these two national biographical dictionaries are perfectly acceptable in establishing notability. Cunard ( talk ) 05:46, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Firstly, it is incorrect to treat the two books as a country's standard national biographical dictionaries as they are not even published by (not even in ) the PRC or the CPC, the country which the subject comes from and serves. Therefore, it doesn't pass the ANYBIO criterion. Secondly, even when tertiary sources are needed, it doesn't make an article pass GNG. GNG criterion which you provided: "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." Therefore, the two tertiary sources you provided do not contribute to GNG since they are not secondary, so BASIC is failed. Thus, all BIO criteria are failed . Timothytyy ( talk ) 06:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That Dai Shiqi was covered in "Chinese persons" dictionaries published by Japanese and Taiwanese publishers is very significant in establishing notability, even more so than if he was covered in a "Chinese persons" dictionary published by a Chinese publisher. It means he received international coverage. It is unclear whether Chinese Communist Who's Who and A Dictionary of Modern Chinese Persons are secondary sources or tertiary sources. But the policy Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources is very clear in saying that both secondary sources and tertiary sources can be used to establish notability. If the biographical dictionaries are tertiary sources, Cunard ( talk ) 08:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, tertiary sources can help establish notability, but according to GNG and BASIC, articles must have secondary sources to guarantee basic (i.e. presumed) notability. If we don't have secondary sources but only have 2 books which we don't know if fact-checking work is done due to the lack of references in them, we cannot ensure reliablity . For example, encyclopedias which doesn't list out references supporting their claims cannot provide notability as its accuracy can be challenged. This is why notability guidelines, e.g. GNG and BASIC, emphasize on secondary sources. The sources you provided just seem to be a biographical introduction to the subject by gathering information about the subject from secondary sources, so I believe it is a tertiary source. According to FAILN, anything that fails the notability criteria shall to be merged or deleted; as NOR is not an N guideline and it fails GNG due to the lack of secondary sources, I suggest a merge to the lists provided by Folly Mox, by gathering info provided by the sources, or a deletion. GNG requires reliable secondary sources. If you believe a discussion on whether the sources are secondary or tertiary is necessary and my elaborations above are too simple, controversial, or problematic, I would be pleased to present my views more detailly. Thank you very much. Timothytyy ( talk ) 08:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The national dictionaries are reliable sources from reputable publishers. There is no requirement for reliable sources to cite sources in order to be considered reliable. The sources you provided just seem to be a biographical introduction to the subject by gathering information about the subject from secondary sources, so I believe it is a tertiary source. – it is unclear whether the national dictionaries are secondary sources or tertiary sources. If the national dictionaries are synthesising information about the subject from secondary sources, the subject has received secondary source coverage. If the national dictionaries are synthesising information about the subject from primary sources, the national dictionaries are secondary sources. Cunard ( talk ) 09:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I still don't get why you mention the sources as "national dictionaries". Also, "if the national dictionaries are synthesising information about the subject from secondary sources, the subject has received secondary source coverage" is just a very rough assumption, you don't even know whether the sources of these publications are 1. independent, 2. reliable, and 3. provide detailed coverage. Timothytyy ( talk ) 09:20, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If the sources are not independent, they are primary sources. If the sources are not reliable sources, the national dictionaries would not have relied on them. If the sources do not provide detailed coverage, then per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria multiple sources can be combined to establish notability. The consensus at Wikipedia talk:Notability/Archive 73#Tertiary sources is that tertiary sources are perfectly fine in establishing notability. Editors cited the policy Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources , which reflects this already. Cunard ( talk ) 09:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Firstly, according to PRIMARY, primary sources may be independent, and according to SECONDARY, secondary sources are not necessarily independent. Secondly, I still don't understand why the sources about Chinese people written by non-governmental Taiwanese and Japanese people are considered as national biographies, and why reliability is assumed. Timothytyy ( talk ) 09:44, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I stand corrected but maintain that these national biographies are reliable sources that can be used to establish notability regardless of whether they are secondary or tertiary sources based on Wikipedia talk:Notability/Archive 73#Tertiary sources and Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources . I consider Institute of International Relations, National Chengchi University [ zh ] and Kazankai [ ja ] to be reputable publishers. They are national biographies because of their scope. Cunard ( talk ) 09:52, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] (If you believe that these 2 sources are rooted with reliability, please find further sources that is secondary, which I would say is most preferred, which can conduct fact-checking.) Assuming their reliability, they are still encyclopedic and doesn't develop anything except the rigid history of the person, so I believe they are tertiary. I still root on general notability guidelines, I.e. GNG and BASIC. If the discussion didn't change the wordings of GNG and BASIC, the most basic guidelines, at all, I wouldn't say it is accepted by the community. Consensus isn't that strong after all. Timothytyy ( talk ) 10:13, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Dai Shiqi was a Chinese ambassador in the 1980s and 1990s to Equatorial Guinea and Peru . It is very difficult to find sources for a Chinese ambassador whose tenure was in the pre-Internet era in South America and West Africa. He could have been covered by pre-Internet, offline Chinese, Peru, or Equatorial Guinea sources, but those are very hard to find. What we have is significant coverage in two national biographies published by a reputable Taiwanese publisher and a reputable Japanese publisher. I consider that sufficient to establish notability. Cunard ( talk ) 10:29, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I agree with you, but I cannot see any possible significant events which may bring the subject SIGCOV. Even if there is, they might not be reliable. Also, let us gather other users' opinions, because I don't think this discussion is going anywhere.

Cunard ( talk ) 00:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There is no need to ping indviduals as it can be seen as WP:CANVASS . LibStar ( talk ) 01:15, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification says: "An editor who may wish to draw a wider range of informed, but uninvolved, editors to a discussion can place a message at any of the following" including "On the user talk pages of concerned editors". The editor who removed the proposed deletion tag from the article before the article was nominated for deletion is a "concerned editor". My pinging of a single concerned editor does not violate the Wikipedia:Canvassing guideline. Cunard ( talk ) 01:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Let me guess what Espresso Addict will ! vote, since they removed the prod. "The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions" WP:APPNOTE . LibStar ( talk ) 01:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification says: "The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it." The editor who proposed the article for deletion is the AfD nominator so is already aware of the discussion and does not need to be pinged. The only other involved editor is the one who removed the proposed deletion. I noticed that the article creator has not been notified so I will notify them on their talk page. The article creator archived the notifications. I routinely have pinged editors who have removed the proposed deletion from articles in the subsequent AfDs and will continue doing so. If you continue to think that this is canvassing, I recommend that you post at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents to receive input from the community about whether they agree. I am fine with my actions being open to community scrutiny. Cunard ( talk ) 01:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It is better to err on the side of caution and not notify other editors of AfDs. LibStar ( talk ) 01:33, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I think that concerned editors should be notified so long as the canvassing guideline is not violated. AfDs frequently have few participants, so informing concerned editors helps lessen that problem. Cunard ( talk ) 01:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . [I was already aware of this AfD before Cunard's ping] Cunard's sources do look sufficiently in-depth to meet GNG to me. Generally I'd prefer to keep articles on Chinese topics as we have a real problem with systematic bias but I won't issue a formal vote in the circumstances. Espresso Addict ( talk ) 02:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thanks Espresso, this is why I think pinging is unnecessary. LibStar ( talk ) 06:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not sure where to put this, so I'll let ReplyTool figure it out. Feel free to refactor. Cunard's sources both seem reliable and independent, and each contributes to notability. My initial BEFORE was not adequate, so I'll look again on my own later (hopefully today?). I would translate the title of the first source as Who's Who in Communist China , and note that google translate guesses the language of the second source incorrectly. It's Japanese, but with a very high proportion of kanji, indicating little verb conjugation and few other particles. It's probably written in a very brief style like a list rather than full regular prose sentences (I can't read Japanese). Google translate does a little better job with that one if you feed it the correct starting language. Hoping to get back to this soon; already switched to keep above. Folly Mox ( talk ) 19:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you for reviewing the sources, for the better translation for the first source's title, and for the correction about the second source being in Japanese with a high proportion of kanji. I've fixed updated the citation templates in my comment . It was difficult to find significant coverage for Dai Shiqi ( simplified Chinese : 戴诗琪 ; traditional Chinese : 戴詩琪 ), so it is unsurprising your WP:BEFORE did not find them. To find these sources, I searched for "Dai Shiqi", "戴诗琪" (his simplified Chinese name), and "戴詩琪" (his traditional Chinese name) and went through several dozen Google Books results that were passing mentions before I found these two sources. Cunard ( talk ) 10:35, 28 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I think this barely scrapes by based on Cunard 's sources. It might be considered borderline, but I'm inclined to err on the side of keeping in this case because, as mentioned above, most sources will be offline or otherwise hard to find for a diplomat who was active before the 21st century. — Mx.

This is a pretty classic sign of general notability, it's simply outside the English-speaking realm. We'd probably have to reach for some Hajduk monography to get significant coverage.

(which I am fine with, but trying to delete others articles with much more sources of any kind while creating those kinds of articles truly boggles the mind, the double standard makes no sense whatsoever ).

Even so, obits written by independent reliable sources are usually perfectly fine as sources.

Alvaldi ( talk ) 14:42, 10 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is accurate, but also largely inconsequential to your argument for deletion, because you're still not disputing the basic factoids such as this player spending four years with Hajduk in the Yugoslav First League with 87 appearances and 11 goals. If this is not inaccurate, the potential is still there and we should not delete the article but instead fix it by finding better sources. -- Joy ( talk ) 09:13, 11 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - Some of the coverage is independent of the subject and in-depth, but I'm not sure about reliability. ePodravina.hr is a news portal, but I can't determine if the author is actually a sports journalist.

I have added a few other sources to the article, and there are oodles of recipes available on the Internet; I've cited the "Fiesta spaghetti taco" recipe on the Betty Crocker website . None of these articles mention "yakisoba-pan" which is why I'm opposed to that particular merge (and FWIW, I'm not convinced the quality of the sources in the other article are necessarily better than the sources cited here).

Emicho: The seeming lack of information about
Count Emicho outside the wall of text about the First Crusade or Rhineland massacres seems to confirm the article lacks WP: NOTABILITY . The article even had a Holocaust reference in it for whatever reason, until I removed it. Fantastic Mr. Fox ( talk ) 21:09, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Salutation yet again, I'm going to CV what I said on your talk page. "it is obvious to me that the article in question is mostly un-sourced, and what sources it does use are secondary or "primary anonymous accounts" which contradict whatever this person did or at least claimed to have done. I might add also that is a point of contention with the Jewish people since most see him as a barbaric Christian who mindlessly killed their peers, also those "primary anonymous accounts" are allegedly written by Jewish authors, which makes this situation even more concerning. History is not about personal vendettas nor is it about claiming that only one party is to blame while the other is innocent. If those alleged did happen then why does not one Christian author (in the article itself) has wrote about it? More likely Emicho has taken the role of a fall guy to blame everything on him as a reflection of Jewish (justified) hatred of Christians."

I have not conducted a search in German, but am reasonably confident SIGCOV-providing sources exist in that language too, as this encyclopedia entry lists two German sources including another journal article specifically about him. Curbon7 ( talk ) 21:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Those historians are using at least four primary sources which have been alleged to be created by Jewish "anonymous accounts", that is the root of our question. How can we know those anonymous sources were telling the truth? Simply put, we don't know As I've stated above it is a point of contention with Jewish individuals that use it as ammunition (for good reasons too) against the Crusades and/or Christianity. Thus while it might have a plethora of secondary sources, it doesn't have a plethora of primary sources that at least have a somewhat coherent timeline with what happened. Ukudoks ( talk ) 22:14, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] With respect, this argument has absolutely no basis in any WP:P&G . An academic source can certainly be unreliable based on the quality (or lack thereof) of their sourcing, but simply being partially sourced to anonymous primary accounts is not itself damning and is in fact quite regular in historical writing. To quote from WP:SECONDARY : A secondary source provides thought and reflection based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. [...] They rely on primary sources for their material, making analytic or evaluative claims about them . Curbon7 ( talk ) 22:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] With all due respect if you look at the references on Emicho's article and Rhineland massacres article it heavily relies on secondary sources. And let us not forget modern biases which cloud almost all historians who work for public institutions, most of them (I'm making an assumption here) are simply regurgitating unrealiable information. Whether or not I can claim what historians are writing and/or telling is the truth or not is irrelevant because all of us know, they are clueless as much as we are.

As Jews were the most intelligent class during that time period, no ordinary Gentile could challenge their perspective (may it be right or wrong).

ATLAS of Finite Groups: Boleyn ( talk ) 12:14, 29 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] See also: Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(books) § Does_this_page_need_more_criteria_for_science_books? Comment : I'm the author of this article (under the handle Gro-Tsen , which I've lost access to for technical reason which are beside the matter here), so although I've stopped contributing to Wikipedia for anything other than trivial corrections, I feel I should say a word. First, this AfD nomination exactly exemplifies the reason why I've stopped contributing: namely, that all processes are buried in bureaucratic procedures of extraordinary complexity and rigidity (a system which effectively gives far too much power to those people who have the time for these procedures rather than actually writing articles). To merely contribute to the discussion one is supposed to read a 5000+ word long page which in the end still doesn't tell me how I'm supposed to write and format a comment like this and I'm probably doing it wrong. Anyway. The notability criteria for books are insane in my mind because they are clearly written by people who had absolutely not thought about the very existence of science books: the criterion “the book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant motion picture, or other art form, or event or political or religious movement” for example, clearly fails to take into account the possibility that the book made a significant contribution to a scientific field (the words “science” or “scientific” don't even appear in the criteria), which is the case here. So, no, the book is not notable, as far as I can tell, under the kafkaesque criteria as they stand. However, disregarding these criteria, if anyone cares about the reason why this book should be considered notable, in my mind (and why I thought it was necessary to start an article about it), they are as follows: (1) The ATLAS isn't just a book about finite groups, it's profoundly intertwined with the history of the Classification of finite simple groups . This is for example witnessed by the fact that Mark Ronan's 2006 book Symmetry and the Monster (a popular science book about said classification and its history) devotes an entire chapter (chapter 14) to the ATLAS , its history and its importance in the general story of the Classification. (2) Specifically, the ATLAS was the first to contain the character table of the Monster group (and possibly also the Baby Monster) before the group was even known to exist. (3) The ATLAS isn't just a book, it's also an indispensable scientific tool, which is the reason why it has now been extended to a web site and a package of the GAP software . (4) The ATLAS poses a particular epistemological problem to mathematicians as it contains the result of computations which have not been published, so relying on it in proofs is problematic. See this MathOverflow question for discussion about this. So entire scientific papers are devoted to trying to do without the ATLAS or to the question of how to reproduce its information. For example, this paper ( published in Contemporary Mathematics ) is specifically devoted to the question of checking the contents of the ATLAS . (5) The ATLAS is extraordinarily famous and influential in the field of finite groups. Asking a group theorist whether they know the ATLAS is similar to asking a biologist whether they know the Origin of Species . I don't have direct evidence for this, but the first paragraph of the paper mentioned in the previous point quotes Jean-Pierre Serre as saying that he “can’t think of any other book published in the last 50 years which had such an impact”. (6) Merely as a physical object, the ATLAS is remarkable for its size and format. Now I won't be contributing any further to this discussion because, again, the tediousness of having to do this kind of bureaucratic justification is exactly what drove me away from Wikipedia. But please feel free to either ignore or else reuse the above facts (and, if the consensus is to keep the article, incorporate them in its content). -- 2001:41D0:FE6F:4800:0:0:0:1 ( talk ) 13:32, 29 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep based on the existence of two book-length volumes dedicated to the book - one in 1995 and one in 2015, both of which are now cited in the article. Guidelines say to consider how influential a book has been in its area, and even as a person unfamiliar with the topic I can tell from the quality of google scholar results that this is a book for people have reverence. So I appreciate you putting this in context, and I think the two results will illustrate its impact but any additional cites talking about its influence could help sway fence-sitters.

Owen× ☎ 13:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Everything that Gro-Tsen writes here is one hundred procent true. "The Atlas" is well known among mathematicians and absolutely central in the finite groups community. It is also rather unique. One should understand that finite groups, and more particularly the classification of finite groups is one of the central problems in mathematics. The quote from Jean Pierre Serre is spot on, and Serre is an extremely highly regarded Abel prize winning mathematician. There is absolutely no reason to delete the article on this book, and in fact I whole heartedly agree with him that being a highly influential scientific work, is clearly an excellent criterion for being a notable book. Put it in other way: Conway's Game of Life has a Wikipedia Article. As fun and well known as it is, the Atlas towers well above the Game of Life in his achievements.

I'm happy at getting rid of articles on the multitude of "oops bumped into the buffers" accidents that caused no injuries, had no repercussions for rail safety, and were forgotten a week later - not every rail accident is significant - but ones that led to discussions about how rail systems should be run and laid-out, and which caused deaths, are probably notable. Elemimele ( talk ) 06:03, 19 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Primary newspaper coverage, passing mentions, and causing deaths are all irrelevant to notability.

Dronebogus ( talk ) 04:05, 17 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Admittedly that's coming across like "purge because lol VG character" which *shouldn't* be the mindset we go into over these.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, L iz Read! Talk! 17:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Wow, this is not a topic space I want to be much involved in. As I understand disambiguation policy, there are two burdens that need to be met. Fist, there need to be at least three valid dab topics ( WP:TWODABS ), and second, those target articles need to make use of the disambiguated term ( WP:DABMENTION ). That complicates AFD somewhat, because an article that should deal with a disambiguated topic but doesn't is an editorial issue for the target article rather than strictly a deletion issue for the disambiguation page... at least in my mind. Anyway. I don't think there's any real debate that Limpieza de sangre and Fictional universe of Harry Potter are both relevant target articles for this topic. Looking exclusively at peer reviewed journal content here, because hoo boy I do not want to do general searches on this, I think it's overwhelmingly clear that racial hygiene should also be a valid dab target, [29] [30] [31] [32] although the article at current does not make use of this term. There's also quite a bit in the literature about parallel concepts in Japanese and Korean culture, although I don't honestly even know what the applicable extant article would be for that, if any. There is at least some scholarly use of the term in the context of the blood quantum laws [33] [34] although I'll admit that's somewhat less common that its use in the German, Japanese, or Korean context. I didn't look into the Australian stuff. I've searched just about enough of this for one day.

Braithwaite, Oklahoma: id=8430f8fd39bfe9cf13a0ce8085a1ff90 , but no evidence of anything else than a WP:GNIS fail. I did not find a single source in newspapers.com or Google other than a couple lists of stations like http://streamlinermemories.info/SF/SF63TTocr.pdf and this oil well test. No indication this was a notable community, if ever a community at all. The youtube video is not at all reliable.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 20:33, 13 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Do you think WP:GEOLAND would count for this considering it was a town at one point. It has a Google maps spot and a feature ID and that makes me think this town was at least notable at one point. I’d say if it existed, it counts. Seeing you provided evidence for the towns existence, it should be considered at least once notable. Keep DannonCool ( talk ) 20:18, 14 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Okay, first read WP:GNIS . Google maps does not have people who independently decide what labels to put on it, no one made an editorial decision determining this was a town and should have a label there: they just import data from the GNIS. Now where does GNIS come from? In 1978 (in this case), someone read the map I linked and recorded every name on it and gave them feature IDs. They also did not perform analysis on these features, and in many cases classified them as "populated place" even when (a) they weren't populated places at all and (b) that "populated place" is not actually a town, is just a neighborhood of sorts, or does not meet standards for a standalone article. Many times railroads had a station in rural areas and gave it a name and put it on the timetables, but again, that does not mean it was a town – sometimes the name was just a local landowner. GEOLAND does not say "all towns are notable", it says legally recognized places are presumed notable. But there having been a label on a map once does not mean it's legally recognized, is notable, or is even an actual town. We don't know that this existed! If you can find significant coverage about a town beyond some guy going to the ruins of the station, then we can talk. The same goes for any of the articles you made. Reywas92 Talk 21:14, 14 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Maybe we can talk about how it was listed as a Townsite , not a post office, in George Shirks “Oklahoma Place Names” book. https://books.google.com/books? id=KpAmsIFdutAC&pg=PA3&source=kp_read_button&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&gboemv=1&ovdme=1#v=onepage&q&f=false It was definitely a town.

Flags used in Russian-occupied Ukraine: No reliable source significantly covers this subject.

DarkwebSTREAMER: Two of the four sources are the same author, and the other two are heavily interview quotes.

Instead I paced a source analysis on the article talk (does not meet GNG) and replaced the notability banner that the creator removed. No new sources forthcoming and I think it is WP:TOOSOON . Per that essay, draftify would be a suitable WP:ATD . Failing agreement to draftify, this would be a delete. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 08:07, 17 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - The page creator has now added these addtional sources to the page. [1] [2] [3] Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 11:25, 17 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Despite adding 3 sources, there's still nothing in the article on the page, of course. Deletion is not for cleanup, but this is a page that really isn't ready to be out of draft. Looking at the three added sources, nothing in the PCGamer or RPG site articles really demonstrates notability. A mention in the New York Times is more significant. It is mentioned in the context of an article about a number of games that are mourning the Internet's olden times. As such, it is just an example, and again, I remain unconvinced of notability here. But I think it definitely suggest potential. I still think this is WP:TOOSOON but think it is good evidence that notability may be attained, and that working on the article in draft would not be time wasted. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 23:08, 17 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I think [13] [14] [15] are WP:THREE reliable, independent sources that give significant coverage to the subject. Skyshifter talk 19:22, 18 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The first of those is from Kotaku. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources articles published in Kotaku from 2023 onward should generally be avoided. So that is not a WP:RS . The other two I discuss above, but PC Gamer is writing about what is in an in-development game. Nothing in that speaks of notability. The New York Times talks about a trend in games and thus mentions this one in that context, which shows notability for something but not really this game. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 19:39, 18 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The VG projct isn't completely prohibiting new Kotaku articles. Articles post-2023 can be used depending on context. I don't see any suggestion of content farming or AI in that article, for example. Skyshifter talk 10:47, 20 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] OK, in context then: This page is about a game that has not even been released yet . We are very certainly in WP:TOOSOON territory to establish the reception of a game that no one can even play. And if no one can play this game yet, how did the Kotaku writer gain access? That doesn't look like an independent review either. This page is essentially promotional and is based on promotional content.

United Airlines Flight 1175: I note the previous AfDs and the contentious debate surrounding this article. It was previously deleted at an AfD in 2018, then restored by a deletion review in 2021. It survived a second AfD on the basis of continuing coverage and publication of new information which (allegedly) demonstrated the significance and lasting impact of this incident. This new information was almost entirely related to: The release of the NTSB report in late 2020; and Engine failures on United Airlines Flight 328 and Japan Airlines 904, involving the same type of aircraft and engine. Any time that an incident resulted in a news spike , it is likely that the release of the accident report may receive at least some coverage in secondary sources, but more often than not, this just means that the official investigation has concluded. Notability would be inherited from the content of that report, rather than its existence. In this case, it appears the report recommended changing routine inspection intervals for operators of PW4000 engines. This is a fairly predictable outcome that impacts a specific group of operators - more notable would be an unexpected finding that leads to sweeping changes to regulations across the industry as a whole, but even then it would be more appropriate to cover this in Pratt & Whitney PW4000 article. The article itself quotes the NTSB as saying they had not confirmed a link to the other incidents mentioned above that generated the media spike.
Of the references cited that have been published from 2020 onwards, there is little to indicate significant WP:LASTING coverage of this incident. Most either provide trivial mentions of United 1175 while discussing other incidents, are WP:SENSATIONAL , or do not demonstrate WP:PERSISTENCE in the form of detailed case studies, rather they are rehashing what was already reported on in 2018.
Other additions to the article in a bid to demonstrate notability have been irrelevant or unencyclopedic - including several paragraphs detailing the history Boeing 777 fatal accidents and hull-losses, an individual's filing of a lawsuit for emotional distress or timelines of the crew performing routine procedures such as initiating fuel crossfeeds and lowering the landing gear. I just removed a sentance and reference from 2018 that said United were planning to offer passengers on flight 1175 refunds!

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow the subject to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Cunard ( talk ) 09:51, 19 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Thankyou Cunard for pinging participants from the previous nomination - I did leave messages for the previous nominator and article creator on their respective talk pages as well. WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE is only one factor in determining notability per WP:EVENT . The context of the lasting coverage needs to be taken into consideration against all applicable policies and guidelines. It's less about how long the media coverage lasts for and much more about whether that coverage actually establishes the lasting significance of a particular event. Just because reliable sources exist and continue to be published, doesn't mean the subject merits a stand-alone wikipedia article. There are clear guidelines on what constitutes WP:PRIMARY and WP:SECONDARY sources in the policy on original research which explicitly states: " Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them. " Wikipedia is not a collection of news reports . Considering this, the sources provided above are mostly primary, and while they may be reliable and independent, most provide little evidence of notability for this incident. They do not meet the threshold to pass WP:LASTING or WP:EVENT because: 1. Is reliable and factual, but is a primary source per WP:PRIMARYNEWS that does not provide any analysis on the incident - it just reports what was in the NTSB's preliminary report, which is an example of WP:ROUTINE . 2. Per WP:PRIMARYNEWS , this article consists of an interview with the pilot recounting the incident and should be considered a primary, not a secondary source. Primary sources rarely establish notability. 3. An individual passenger filing a lawsuit as a result of distress/minor injury an in-flight incident is not inherently notable and is a WP:ROUTINE occurrence. If this lawsuit were a successful class action that determined the airline/manufacturer was grossly negligent, an argument could be made that the lawsuit established notability. As it is, the article is an example of sensationalism , which WP:EVENT states is a poor basis for encyclopedic merit. 4. Is a primary source per WP:PRIMARYNEWS . There is also no new significant information included in this source. It that just states the final report is due to be released later that week and restates the summary of the preliminary report which is referenced elsewhere - again fails WP:ROUTINE 5. Another routine primary source that reports on the findings of the NTSB final report without conducting any analysis 6. Probably the closest yet to an actual secondary source, as it does discuss the events retrospectively in the context of some analysis, but does not draw any conclusive links between the incidents, just points out that there were similarities. To draw any conclusions that the modes of failure were actually related based on this article would not meet WP:NOR . Thus it does not demonstrate the significance of United 1175 that is required to meet WP:EVENT and WP:LASTING 7. This is a primary source per WP:PRIMARYNEWS . As I am relying on Google translate to read the text, it is difficult for me to critique. However based on the translation appears to be about the 2021 Denver incident with a mention of United Flight 1175 being only recounting the basic facts of the incident and that authorities will investigate determine if the incidents are linked which might indicate a broader issue with PW4000 engines. 8. I do consider this Wall Street Journal a good secondary source. While it does analyse United Flight 1175 in some level of detail, this is in the context of a broader series of uncontained fan blade failures of Pratt and Whitney and CFM International engines. It is likely this article would demonstrate each of the incidents discussed are notable enough to be mentioned in the articles for the respective engine models. However, notability is not inherited . Eg. The idea that that this particular incident qualifies for a stand-alone article merely because it was associated with some other, legitimately notable subject (ongoing issues with the engines themselves) is not actually proof of its notability! 9. Like 2, is an interview with the pilot recounting the incident and should be considered a primary, not a secondary source. Despite being published four years after the accident, it also provides no new facts or analysis that would demonstrate lasting significance. The three other sources that provide less depth also do provide some level of analysis (although 3. is relatively trivial). However once again, that analysis focusses on a series of separate incidents involving failures of PW4000 engines. As above, I would argue that the actually notable subject being analysed here is the mode of failure of the engine, thus it should be discussed in the article on the engine, rather than a standalone article on this incident. If we are able to cut the article back to just the information supported by sources 7, 8 and the 3 additional brief mentions, I'd support a merge of this content into the Pratt and Whitney PW4000 article, or a redirect to the same target. Dfadden ( talk ) 12:20, 19 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I consider all of these sources to contribute to the event meeting Wikipedia:Notability (events) . You wrote of source 6 "Probably the closest yet to an actual secondary source, as it does discuss the events retrospectively in the context of some analysis, but does not draw any conclusive links between the incidents" and of source 8 "I do consider this Wall Street Journal a good secondary source. While it does analyse United Flight 1175 in some level of detail, this is in the context of a broader series". Even if all the other sources are disregarded (something I would disagree with), these two sources by themselves are sufficient for United Airlines Flight 1175 to meet Wikipedia:Notability (events) . Regarding the WP:NOTINHERITED assertion about source 8, the essay is about Wikipedia editors claiming a subject has inherited notability when that subject has not been covered by reliable sources. This is not the case here since the subject has been amply covered by reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline says, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."

SmokeyJoe ( talk ) 06:31, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete this is a bit of an WP:IAR delete because of the sources, but this was basically a completely run-of-the-mill aviation event which just happened to be well covered. I expect this to be kept given our sourcing rules, but we generally do not keep articles on flight disasters where no one was hurt and nothing important happened as a result unless they were extremely unusual or well covered (the BA flight flying into ash near Indonesia, for instance). Just because we can source an article does not mean we have to have an article on the topic. I do expect this to be kept, and I almost sat this one out as a result, but common sense dictates this really wasn't that important of an aviation event. SportingFlyer T · C 17:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] “ run-of-the-mill aviation event which just happened to be well covered” is a self contradiction, if you accept that Wikipedia covers things that others cover, in reliable sources, where “covers” implies secondary source content, not mere repetition. Run-of-the-mill is like churnalism which is characterised by repetition. The three years ongoing sources are not churnalism. This is no standout article, but it is good enough, and could be a good example of the comprehensiveness of Wikipedia. SmokeyJoe ( talk ) 06:29, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The link you have provided to secondary source is a general article. Wikipedia has a policy on how WP:SECONDARY sources are interpreted and used to establish notability. The majority of news reports about contemporary events are actually considered primary sources unless they contain detailed analysis or are written retrospectively and look at the impacts of an event over time. This is covered in the policy WP:PRIMARYNEWS . By the standard of these policies (and arguments in AfDs should be supported by actual policy), it is nowhere near as clear cut simple as saying its covered in reliable news outlets, therefore it meets GNG. Things like interviews with the pilot are most definitely NOT secondary sources in this context. Also, you have misrepresented what churnalism means in regards to WP:MILL - the first line of that policy states " Something that is run-of-the-mill is a common, everyday, ordinary item that does not stand out from the rest. " Churnalism on the other hand is " a pejorative term for a form of journalism in which instead of original reported news, pre-packaged material such as press releases or stories provided by news agencies are used to create articles in newspapers and other news media. " Eg. repetition of press releases or mirrors of the same work under different mastheads. These are NOT the same thing. Not even close. Churnalism is not even mentioned in the policy WP:MILL (although it is mentioned in WP:RS ). Dfadden ( talk ) 07:47, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You’re not telling me anything I don’t know. The article won’t be deleted because it meets the Wikipedia-notability threshold. You need to decide whether you want to argue for deletion, or for a merger, because they are not compatible. SmokeyJoe ( talk ) 08:44, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Just because sources cover an event or a topic does not mean we need to have an article on the topic. The Aviation Herald lists this as an incident as opposed to an accident or crash, which are generally notable, and the lasting coverage is basically just a mention that it happened. There's also bias involved here - because two of these incidents occurred on American planes, there's more coverage available to Wikipedia than for the exact same Japanese incident, which does not have an article. As I said, I do expect this to be kept because people will see coverage and stop there, but this event really does not fit the mold of the types of aviation accidents which we are likely to have articles on, and as such I am making a common sense delete vote. SportingFlyer T · C 19:59, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It has enough sources, over enough time, to pass the GNG. Passing the GNG does not mean it needs its own article, agreed. It could be merged somewhere, as Dfadden suggests. Merging is not achieved by deleting at AfD. AfD is the wrong venue for merging, especially complicated merges. SmokeyJoe ( talk ) 22:32, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I have no problem with a merge, and AfDs can result in the merge of a page as you well know. SportingFlyer T · C 04:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per the argument and WP:LASTING coverage provided by Cunard. If it doesn't have lasting impact, why would CNN give the incident in-depth coverage over three years later? [145] and why would the FAA mandate new inspection processes based on the incident? Oakshade ( talk ) 22:39, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There is nothing particularly notable about the FAA issuing an airworthiness directive to require changes to inspection intervals as a result of a mechanical failure! That's just an example of an organisation that is responsible for risk mitigation doing its job to provide additional layers of safety. Cracks were missed at the previous routine inspection - so a simple way of addressing that is to require engineers to look more often. Revision of inspection intervals happens nearly every time there is an unexpected mechanical failure of an aircraft component that is otherwise maintained in line with the manufacturers guidance. If this had been an Emergency Airworthiness Directive , then yeah, it would be notable like Qantas Flight 72 , another non-fatal incident. Dfadden ( talk ) 21:54, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Unfortunately, the media loves to hype up and place undue weight on negative news, and aviation incidents are a common target. News spikes surrounding negative aviation stories have been increasing over the last few decades and are to be expected even for the most mundane of incidents. By triggering negative emotional responses, this can distort our perceptions of how significant an incident really is - as was demonstrated by van der Meer et al. (2019) [146] Dfadden ( talk ) 22:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I am pinged by Cunard as well. The action of FAA to release an airworthiness directive changing how the engine is inspected made the incident to be quite notable. The incident also grounded aircraft on multiple countries, showing that it's not just "another" accident but an accident that is treated more seriously. The article also mentioned that Boeing changed the design of the engine by strengthening its covers, another proof that this is not just "another accident". A routine accident won't spark an international grounding of aircraft and a redesign of the aircraft. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 12:01, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The incident also grounded aircraft on multiple countries, showing that it's not just "another" accident but an accident that is treated more seriously. I think you are confusing this incident with United Airlines Flight 328 . The Boeing 777-200 was only temporarily grounded following UA328. The airworthiness directive that the FAA issued was only mandating changes to inspection intervals to prevent mechanical failures. ADs are commonly issued by the FAA are not as urgent as EADs . In August 2020, Boeing provided an update to the FAA on its work to also strengthen 777 engine covers. The manufacturer told regulators it had decided to redesign and make replacement covers with which airlines could retrofit their fleets, according to the FAA document. The engine redesign was probably done to reduce damage an aircraft can possibly sustain following an uncontained engine failure, so not exactly an engine problem but was done as a safety feature. And according to the WSJ source, airlines could retrofit their fleet, so this redesign is an option, not a necessity.

List of cancelled Nintendo Switch games: Summerslam2022 ( talk ) 19:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Video games-related deletion discussions . Summerslam2022 ( talk ) 19:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - every entry is sourced, so I'm not entirely sure what the complaint is there. There's also long-standing precedent for "list of cancelled (platform) games" list articles to exist so I find the entire nomination puzzling. It's also a valid WP:SIZESPLIT because of the massive size of the List of Nintendo Switch games articles, which keeps getting split because it keeps hitting literal size maxes for articles. Im also confused conceptually how a list of games that will never be commercially released be a catalogue violation? Sergecross73 msg me 19:44, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep It is well-sourced, it meets LISTN, and the NOTCATALOG part of the nomination makes no sense.

Hey man im josh ( talk ) 20:02, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete These are games released on other systems that they wanted to release on the Switch, but had problems and decided not to. You can't list every single game that was released on one system but not ported to all systems, that would be long and pointless. D r e a m Focus 20:11, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is a misrepresentation of what this article is. It's not "every single game that was released on one system but not ported to all systems". It's got established and specific inclusion criteria. It only lists games that have a reliable source that verifies a game was announced for the Switch, but was later cancelled. Sergecross73 msg me 20:18, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The references I clicked on are just quoting press releases and making brief mentions that it won't be ported to the Switch as planned. Is there a single item on the list with significant coverage? D r e a m Focus 00:27, 30 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:VG/S -approved sources commonly write dedicated articles about game cancellations. Like Polygon on Midnight Suns or IGN on Final Fantasy 15 or Gamespot on Hypersports . Sergecross73 msg me 00:31, 30 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Those are not significant coverage, just quoting game designers or game companies announcing they aren't porting them. Some articles contain mentions of other things in them, but the content about a game being cancelled for porting to the Switch is not significant. D r e a m Focus 02:09, 30 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] They're literally articles dedicated to the subject, with the Switch cancellation making the headline each time. That's not a passing mention, that's significant coverage. What is going on here? We've interacted at AFD for decades at this point now. You never hold articles to such a insanely high sourcing standard, nor would you tolerate someone trying to pull this on you, so I'm completely confused as to why you've decided to move the goalpost for this particular list. Sergecross73 msg me 02:20, 30 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I just can't imagine anyone wanting to read this article. It seems pointless. If you want to add a sentence or two to the game articles as to why they weren't ported to the Switch, that might make sense. Does it matter if any games were announced then canceled, or just not planned to begin with? Should we have a list of games that were ported to every other modern port other than Nintendo Switch because of its limitations or other reasons? Not all companies release a press statement for something like this since its pointless. Web only news sources have to fill content so sometimes a few sentence announcement and make it into a very short article, doesn't really count as significant coverage. D r e a m Focus 20:04, 30 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] None of that is a valid deletion rationale. That's one giant WP:IDONTLIKEIT violation. We don't delete things just because someone personally doesn't find it of interest. I was recently bored out of my mind reading the stag beetle article. That doesn't give me a valid AFD nomination. Sergecross73 msg me 20:18, 30 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge to List of Nintendo Switch games Don't really see a reason this has to be standalone. Surely cancelled games can also be featured under the overall game list, but marked as cancelled rather than having a release date. Having a list solely for cancelled games feels like an airing of grievances from angered Switch owners. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 20:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The list of Switch games has already been WP:SIZESPLIT five times over, and is already headed for more. I also wrote all the "notes", and it was not from a place of grievance, but from a place of fascination in the video game development process. There's no negatively there (if it comes off that way, please, anyone tweak it, that was not the intent.) Sergecross73 msg me 21:05, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Well, there are lists on Wikipedia that are literally just single letters such as Index of Windows games so I still don't see the problem. If it merits it, the list of Switch games can be split along the same lines. I don't really see where the game development angle comes in though, because most of them have barely any insight into any special reason for cancellation besides "it was too hard" or "it wasn't profitable". 100% cancelled games often have interesting insight into "what could have been" but these are just ports of otherwise released games. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 22:01, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You "don't see a problem" with SIZESPLITing 26 unsourced Windows games lists but do have a problem with splitting out one game list that entails sourced commentary for every entry? I'm struggling to follow your philosophy on lists here... Sergecross73 msg me 22:14, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm entirely befuddled by the notion that it's a problem that this list of cancelled games is limited to only games cancelled for budget issues and games cancelled for technical issues. Should there be games cancelled for political issues? Games cancelled for fun? The only third thing I could think of would be games moved from Switch to the next platform, but obviously, that's not something that could exist at the moment. Unless you're taking issue with the existence of all list of cancelled video games, I don't see what the issue is. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 22:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I was puzzled by that too. "Difficulties in programming" and "difficulties in budget" are some of the most relevant and important aspects in the gaming making industry. And it's a list, so it's not like it's the place to write up a full multi-paragraph detailed account of things. Sergecross73 msg me 22:30, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep All games are sourced, and it meets LISTN. I see no reason to delete this list. Flutter Dash 344 ( talk ) 21:07, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . It does not have "few" sources, it has as many sources as is necessary for the size of the list.

The article is not great, but neither is it uninformative, misleading nor NN, and there is significant room to grow it. This is notable as a case in and of itself (or, technically, set of cases/themselves), not simply as an instance of FRP. For example, the actions of the local protective services may be as significant a case study as the purported neglect they so zealously and destructively pursued. The legal waffling of the various governments both adds notability and presents another dimension in which to enhance the article.

Stony Brook babble 20:42, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Absolutely; I'm not familiar with the Jewish Women's Archive but it does look like a tertiary source so can understand why the nominator discounted it.

June Pursell: The other claim, that she "made notable appearances in two films", is not supported by the (unreliable) source IMDb, which gives one uncredited(!) role as a vocalist, and one role as a "singer on the stage".

Woman Kills Injured Man: With regard to the existing sources on the page, one is from the museum which displays the piece (so not independent) and another is a dead link to another online encyclopaedia (which would not appear to be a RS and may even be circular referencing from a WP project).

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 23:19, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep. Magistrate judges are not inherently notable, but some do rise to the level of notability. This judge was the subject of a "rare public order" that "appeared to be the first time that an order had addressed abusive conduct by a federal judge" under judicial employment dispute resolution rules that had not previously been applied. This means the subject's alleged actions were the focus of scrutiny in an order that has implications for other federal judicial employees in the United States, illustrating a broader level of importance than the "run of the mill magistrate judge" cited in the AfD discussion for the cited comparator. And the conduct was publicly attributed to this specific judge, which is not especially common since judges accused of similar conduct often force the closing of any investigations by resigning. I think these factors push this over the line for notability. SeenToBeDone ( talk ) 03:11, 23 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak Keep: Completely agree with the nom that magistrate judges are not inherently notable, but the misconduct allegations against her have resulted in enough coverage from a multitude of sources for this subject to meet WP:BASIC , such as in the Washington Post (in the article), Bloomberg [ [18] ] and Reuters [ [19] ].

Michalis Attalides: The Wiki project proposed guidelines of WP:ACAD do not supersede the PROF and GNG. Lethweimaster ( talk ) 10:27, 5 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per WP:PROF - Notability (academics) - Criterion 6 "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society." Michael Attalides was the rector of Intercollege , subsequently renamed the University of Nicosia . [4] Rector was/is the highest post at that institution. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 16:57, 5 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, my concern is that University of Nicosia doesn't seem to be considered a major academic institution. If we are too loose, any rector of any university around the world would require a wiki page. For example, the rector of Cyprus West University is Ömer Camcı, if a editor would make a case that Cyprus West University is a major academic institution , it could argue that he could have page Ömer Camcı. I do not believe it's accurate. The University of Nicosia which is a private fairly unknown institution, is just one institution among all the ones in Cyprus. See List of universities and colleges in Cyprus . Therefore Attalides who is the rector of a relatively unknown academic institution and clearly doesn't pass WP:GNG , in my opinion fails notability guidelines. To me a major academic institution or major academic society refers to major institutions such as Harvard or University of Oxford -(Rector: Irene Tracey ) etc. Lethweimaster ( talk ) 19:22, 5 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Lethweimaster that's an interesting take. "Major academic" is a pretty weaselly word when I think about it. McGill University , yes, of course. What about the University of Hawaii ? Yukon University ? I have taken for granted that a big university is a major academic institution (Yukon U is not big, the U of Hawaii is). I see the University of Nicosia ranks in the 501 to 600 tier of The Times worldwide university rankings, which is better than I expected. It's supposedly the biggest in Cyprus. We'll see what others say about "major". We used to have a notability noticeboard but it's defunct. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 20:41, 5 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] NPROF further says "significant accredited college or university". I don't know anything about the university, although it seems to be accredited , e.g. by EQAR . That leaves "significant", which could be taken to mean many things. I would expect the institution to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines at a minimum, but there are likely other considerations (the university here being for-profit seems like a red flag to me, for example). Suriname0 ( talk ) 19:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I had the same concerns, that's why I put it up for AFD. The university is indeed accredited, for what it means (accreditation is just a matter of paying the right people). The real criteria: "Significant University" is in my opinion, not even close to being fulfill. There is a ton of for profit universities and it's in their advantage, for maximum tuitions, to have their rector on wikipedia. I agree with Suriname0 . Lethweimaster ( talk ) 20:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I know others have different interpretations, but for me and from my American perspective, "major academic institution" is correlated to the amount of research that occurs at that institution (so generally, this refers to R1 and R2 institutions, per this list , with exceptions for very large public universities like the University of Hawaiʻi and prominent liberal arts colleges like Smith College ). Again, that's my personal interpretation, so do with it what you want. I'm not sure of the Cypriot system of this, so I don't want to make a bold assertion of this case, but I'm bearish considering this is a private for-profit institution. Curbon7 ( talk ) 07:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Just confirming I have precisely the same intuitions about the US system.

Curbon7 ( talk ) 07:06, 10 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep -- per WP:PROF #6. Generally "significant accredited" University has been taken quite broadly in WP:PROF discussions to mean most universities with some history or a thousand students. Any university which makes the Times Higher Education listing of top world universities--at any ranking--is significant. Throw on top of that the ambassadorships (which are not sufficiently notable in themselves but can help to imply notability) and this seems like a pretty easy keep. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 06:13, 11 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Lethweimaster ( talk ) 15:11, 12 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I agree that this page has some issues, but I'm inclined to support the WP:NPROF argument. From what I know about the European system, sheer research volume matters a good bit less than in the US. However, we should substantiate the idea that this is a "major" institution.

Normally localities of such cities get hundreds (if not thousands) of sources talking about them.

There is one from PinkNews (and we can't use any others from PinkNews to establish reliability). But looking at the other sources in the article: No consensus on WP:RS that Vice is reliable. Neither Common Weal , a think tank, nor Jezebel , a blog, are reliable sources. There are some Norwegian sources that may count. In good faith, what's the case? AndyGordon ( talk ) 10:27, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep — It seems like OP is just upset that their edits got reverted and is lashing out. Despite ample opportunity they have yet to point out specific issues with the article, mostly just attacking other editors. I guess they're trying to say it's a WP:ATP ? But as stated on the talk page, if the majority view of a subject is negative, the article will naturally take a negative tone, per WP:NOTNEUTRAL . -- Pokelova ( talk ) 01:02, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm being practical. Wikipedia can't afford to have articles only written by detractors of any topic, and who revert helpful edits, like moving material to a criticism section rather than every paragraph is filled with "X, but critics say Y" format that activists seem to do when given free rein to write and block edits. Where is "Neutral point of view" under that? Tom Ruen ( talk ) 01:34, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] My first thought on seeing your recent behaviour was to assume that yours was a recently registered troll account of the sort that we unfortunately see all too often. On looking further, I was shocked and saddened to see that you have been editing since 2004 and that your behaviour here is completely out of character. My second thought was to wonder whether your account had been compromised. Assuming that this is not the case then I implore you to take a break to deal with whatever has triggered this unusual behaviour and then, when you feel able, to go back to constructive editing in the subject areas where you are able to contribute constructively. Please don't throw away your almost two decades old Wikipedia account over this. DanielRigal ( talk ) 01:49, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Imagine a "women's rights declaration" being reduced to this summary that doesn't even say what it is for or why?

Procedural speedy keep . No even arguably valid reason has been advanced to delete. The nomination is just an incoherent diatribe that attacks other editors and the project in general. We don't need to waste time on this. Let's just close it. If anybody can see an actual reason to delete then they would be better off starting a new AfD where we can discuss their nomination without being distracted by this nonsense. -- DanielRigal ( talk ) 01:35, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikipedia should not have badly written articles controlled by activists. It is preposterous. It invalidates all of wikipedia when people see this. Better to have no articles that bias.

This was clearly a WP:POINTy "nomination" by a disruptive editor who has now been blocked for their disruptive edits. The now blocked editor links to their Twitter account which includes such statements as "Transgenderism is a destructive identity" and "Transing children is child abuse," so it's clearly a case of WP:NOTHERE .

Sweet6970 ( talk ) 11:29, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: The group is clearly notable, as demonstrated by the sources in the article. It seems to have the same level of notoriety that LGB Alliance and Women's Liberation Front have, with significant, regular coverage from right-wing sources such as Fox [9] [10] , and is active in dozens of countries, so it's one of the more well-known (and outspokenly) anti-trans groups out there. -- Tataral ( talk ) 12:13, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] As per WP:FOXNEWSPOLITICS , Fox News is marginally reliable: we can't use political articles in Fox to establish notability. We need a list of multiple reliable sources that satisfy Wikipedia:SIRS . AndyGordon ( talk ) 17:02, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] From the Fox coverage we can see that they are indeed a cause célèbre for the right wing media, which is a reasonable thing to point out in an AfD even though we cannot say that in the article without falling into original research unless we have a reliable sources supporting it. Anyway, the nomination here is nonsensical. The best thing would be to close this without any prejudice to you, or anybody else, putting together a better nomination and trying another AfD. DanielRigal ( talk ) 17:23, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The sources already included in the article clearly establish notability. The recent Fox articles mentioned here are just examples of supplementary sources that demonstrate how they are, as DanielRigal said, a cause célèbre for the right wing media in the US. Rowling just tweeted in support of the group, this is a well known group in the field of anti-trans activism internationally, probably the only thing both its supporters and critics would agree on. -- Tataral ( talk ) 18:55, 22 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - this appears to be a nonprofit organization with national/international scale, so the alternative WP:NONPROFIT criteria of the WP:NCORP guideline can apply, and requires significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization . Sources include The Scotsman in 2019 (focused on advocacy activity in Scotland, noting it began in New York); WP:PINKNEWS in 2021 (includes a focus on the organization, its advocacy, co-founders, and supporting organizations); there is also significant coverage of their advocacy in the US, e.g. Columbia Missourian in 2023 (includes a focus on their model legislation).

Halifax Explosion in popular culture: My BEFORE does not suggest that the concept of "Halifax Explosion in popular culture" exists outside Wikipedia and what we have here is a prosified version of the all too common list of media that mention topic foo . Seems like this article was spun off from Halifax_Explosion#Legacy section while it was being improved for GA/FA and has been forgotten since. Redirecting it back there might be a fine WP:ATD . Bottom line, while some works mention this concept, this is not a topic that merits a stand-alone articles.

Nagol0929 ( talk ) 12:36, 28 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete It seems someone knew the topic wouldn't pass WP:NLIST so they put it in paragraph form. Still completely non-notable and doesn't pass GNG since there doesn't seem to be any source anywhere discussing the explosion in the context of culture. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk ) 14:27, 28 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : this is a notable topic; it still resonates over a century later. I've read some of the books. In particular, Hugh MacLennan 's novel, Barometer Rising , is a Canadian classic. This article is not WP:OR . As for citations, most of items are blue wikilinks to notable books and films with their own articles; I see no need to footnote them. The few works that don't have existing articles can be cited or ditched -- that's a matter of cleanup. I reviewed WP:NOTTVTROPES . The site is described as "a wiki that lists plot devices, tropes, and the like in all manner of fiction." The essay (not a guideline) then describes 12 characteristics that set TV Tropes aside from Wikipedia; I don't see this article matching any of the 12. I reviewed our "In popular culture" content essay ("WP:IPC"). In the first paragraph, it notes: "When these sections become lengthy, some Wikipedians spin them off into separate articles to keep main articles short . That's exactly what was done here. There's also a specific section, "Creating 'In popular culture' articles" ("WP:IPCA"). The WP:IPC essay makes a good point that the phrase "popular culture" in an article title or section heading is a poor word choice and encourages the addition of cruft and trivia. Better titles would be "Cultural references to the Halifax Explosion" or "Cultural depictions of the Halifax Explosion". I reviewed MOS:TRIVIA . This material doesn't look trivial after reading that essay. Compare this article with the trivia example cited in the guideline; this article is very different and qualitatively better. With regards to the earlier comment above that this is a disguised list, MOS:TRIVIA states "As with most article content, prose is usually preferable to a list format, regardless of where the material appears. " So the question for me is not one of notability but rather: one article or two? Delete and redirect to Halifax Explosion We lose useful, reliable content Keep this article Merge with Halifax Explosion That reverses a decision made in producing a featured article. That's a non-starter for me. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 16:15, 28 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ A. B. Regarding WP:OR and WP:GNG , yes, it is OR/not N because WP:SYNTH . No source cited discusses the concept of "Cultural references to the Halifax Explosion" or "Cultural depictions of the Halifax Explosion". Compiling a prose-style de facto list of such references is SYNTH OR. Regarding spinning off, see WP:SPLIT which notes that this can be done "only if the new articles are themselves sufficiently notable to be included in the encyclopedia". Finally, re "We lose useful, reliable content" - see WP:USEFUL . Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 00:43, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] PS. Also, to quote User:Rorshacma from a similar discussion, I think that This seems to be a rather unnecessary WP:SPLIT, as the Haka article is not so long that a spinout would have really been needed, and most of the information here, including the links to the related full articles, is already present there. Low quality content was copied, not split from the main article, then somewhat (although I think not sufficiently) improved in the main article while the copy (discussed here) remains forgotten. Best solution is to redirect and try to improve the content in the Featured Article. If the section grows, we can split it off then, at near-FA levels. Trying to rewrite this forgotten spin off while the section at FA still needs help too is waste of effort.

( talk • contribs • global count ) 16:19, 28 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - As stated, the overall topic of the article, "The Halifax Explosion in Popular Culture", does not appear to actually be a distinct topic that has received coverage in reliable sources. Halifax Explosion#Legacy already contains a well written description of the incident's impact, including discussion of several notable works, both fiction and non-fiction, on the topic. The works mentioned in this article that are not already discussed there, in fact, look to be mostly either non-notable works or of the "this thing mentioned it" variety. Neither the Halifax Explosion article as a whole, or the Legacy section in specific, are long enough that a separate article would either be needed or preferable for ease of reading. Rorshacma ( talk ) 16:44, 28 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

( talk • contribs • global count ) 00:32, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Not bad, but sadly, WP:TNT applies. The current article is poorly referenced OR, we need to rewrite it from scratch based on cited sources. And the FA probably needs a FA review considering the section there likewise should be rewritten. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 00:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] TNT is an essay, not a sufficient justification to delete a notable topic. Your assertion regarding FA review appears to be equally without merit. Nikkimaria ( talk ) 00:56, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Piotrus , the essay WP:TNT (“Blow it up and start over”) states ”Copyright violations, extensive cases of advocacy, and undisclosed paid sock farms are frequently blown up.” . Those cases do not apply here. The definitive policy is the Deletion policy ; it lists the allowable reasons for deletion in the ”Reasons for deletion” section. This article doesn’t satisfy any of them. Nikkimaria just provided 5 solid refs a few minutes ago about the explosion and literature. They more than address any lingering SYNTH and OR issues. — A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 01:11, 29 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] No. The sources do indicate that we can write an article on this topic. What we have here, however, is not it. The old OR synth with randon examples that the original writer or writers thought relevant need to be blanked, and replaced with the summary of the sources found. And since this is based on the nearly identical version in the main article, improvement should take place there, there is no need to split anything given how short this article (and the corresponding section) are.

Jeff Johnson (labor leader): I encountered this page during New Page Review and after discussion with the author provided some time for additional sourcing. However, after a couple weeks the sources provided do not meet the standard for WP:NBIO or WP:GNG . A quick review: Source 1, 5, 13, and 19 are oral histories or personal papers/writing by the subject and thus primary sources. Source 5 also includes an unattributed biographical note, but it is published by the Labor Archives of Washington , which cannot be an independent source on the topic of Jeff Johnson, a local labor leader. The union alliance that Johnson led is listed as a major funder of the archives and Johnson was himself a board director of the Labor Archives. Source 2 is to WP:BALLOTPEDIA , about whose reliability there is no consensus. Sources 3 and 8 are to a newsletter published by Johnson's organization and thus not independent. Sources 4, 6, and 7 are to a labor-specific industry publication and thus ineligible for notability per WP:TRADES . Source 9 and 11 are local news blogs that are mostly reprints/paraphrases of an organizational press release. Sources 12 and 14-18 are WP:ROUTINE coverage of Johnson in articles that focus on other issues on which he is invited to comment. In my analysis, that leaves only Source 10 to count as significant coverage, and we'd need to see more for this to pass notability thresholds. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 16:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People , Politics , and Washington . Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 16:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You previously stated in my discussion with you that the article from the Tacoma News Tribune counts as a reliable secondary source. If that and source 10 count as significant coverage, I believe the page should be allowed to stay up. In addition, I would argue that the other coverage of Johnson in the Seattle Times and Everett Herald constitute significant coverage from reliable secondary sources. The Herald and Tribune are real independent news organs (not just blogs) from Tacoma and Everett, Washington, which are the 3rd and 7th largest cities in the state, respectively. Labor history is a traditionally underrepresented field of history, and coverage of leading figures like Johnson on Wikipedia helps promote research. Deleting this article would be contradictory to Wikipedia's efforts to increase diversity in biographies. Mathieulalie ( talk ) 17:07, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] On further review, I realized the Tacoma News Tribune piece is mostly a reprint of a press release, which makes it a primary source. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 19:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I added a JSTOR source, hopefully that will prove notability. Mathieulalie ( talk ) 23:19, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] JSTOR itself is not a source, it's just an index (like Google News). In the underlying source by Myers ( see here ), Johnson is briefly quoted/referenced on two pages of a nearly 300-page book. That's a WP:TRIVIALMENTION , not significant coverage. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 23:57, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Source 2 is fine for now - as you say, @ Dclemens1971 there is no consensus about Ballotpedia, so, unless the source is deprecated in a future discussion, it is perfectly usable. Sources 4, 6, and 7 are marginally useful, but not unusable. I don't see a reason to dismiss them per WP:TRADES , unless it can be established that the sources are directly connected to Johnson, and therefore not independent. Sources 12 and 14-18, as you mention, make only cursory mentions of Johnson - but WP:ROUTINE , per my reading, says that routine events are not in and of themselves notable - it does not say that articles covering routine events are completely unusable for any purpose. Here, they are not being used to establish the notability of a routine event, they're being used to establish the notability of Johnson, by showing that he has been invited to make published comments on a variety of issues. Plus, there's source 10. Overall, while Jeff Johnson is obviously not a major, epoch-shaping world-historic figure, I see more than enough published material to establish that he is a notable figure in the world of modern labor organizing in the USA. For someone who is studying that topic, this article may be interesting and useful. I see no compelling reason to delete the article, so let's keep it and let interested editors continue to improve it. Philomathes2357 ( talk ) 06:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Philomathes2357 : WP:ROUTINE is specific to WP:NEVENTS . Biographies go off of WP:BASIC and the "trivial coverage" mention there. Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That was my general impression, thanks for the clarification. Philomathes2357 ( talk ) 05:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per User:Philomathes2357 . There is enough evidence of notability in the published sources. -- User:Namiba 13:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I see just enough sources to pass GNG. This is especially true if the biographical note and the content description to the Jeff Johnson papers are independent. -- Enos733 ( talk ) 15:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] They're not, though -- they're published by the Labor Archives of Washington, on whose board Johnson serves and which is funded by Johnson's organization. See here: https://labor.washington.edu/labor-archives#about Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 16:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The Labor Archives of Washington is part of the University of Washington Libraries Special Collections, and the biography to his finding aid was written by a UW Special Collections staff member, funded by the Washington state budget. Johnson's papers were processed independently of his input. Finding aids are academic research materials, not promotional materials. The article was not written to promote Johnson's political career (even if it were, it would have little effect since he is retired) but as a public service to promote knowledge about the state labor council's activities, specifically its role in farmworker organizing and the 15Now campaign. Furthermore, neither the Labor Archives nor Johnson receives any money from people viewing his papers (or any other collections). Mathieulalie ( talk ) 23:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Johnson appears to serve on a board of an entity that supports the Labor Archive , not the archive itself. And in this particular context, it probably shouldn't be a surprise that the former president of a local labor union would be asked to join the board of a non-profit focused on a labor archive. Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:53, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The Labor Archives also isn't a nonprofit or a business, it is part of the University of Washington Libraries. Mathieulalie ( talk ) 16:11, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Apologies, with that second sentence above I was meaning to refer to the Friends of the Labor Archives organization. Ed [talk] [OMT] 16:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] A biography about someone who's on the board of an organization that exists to give money to an entity and whose own organization is a donor to the entity cannot be truly independent if written by staff of an entity. See WP:COISOURCE , "less direct interests can be harder to see and more subjective to establish." Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 16:29, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Week keep or redirect to Washington State Labor Council - there is smoke here. The problem is that we can't track down where the fire is. If you'll allow me to be morbid for a moment, I strongly suspect Johnson will immediately and unquestionably meet our notability guidelines the moment he dies and has obituaries written about him in several Washington newspapers. Fortunately for Johnson, he is still alive. But for our purposes and at the present time, the sourcing is thin (as the OP notes). What's available often briefly quotes Johnson by virtue of his position as the head of the union, and does not dive into specifics about the person themselves. I'd be fine with either keeping this article or merging its content into the organization that he ran. To me, the following sources count towards notability and have swayed me: Ballotpedia with its bio + "In 2015, Ballotpedia identified Jeff Johnson (Washington) as a top influencer by state." The biography written by archivists in charge of his papers should also count, as we have no reason to assume that the decision that Johnson's papers were important enough to archive was swayed by outside factors. Sources I don't think count toward notability include: I don't believe nwLaborPress/ Northwest Labor Press can count towards notability because it's a newspaper that specifically focuses on unions in Oregon and Washington. To me, it's the definition of a trade publication within this topic area, and our guidelines say that "there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability." The Tacoma News Tribune source is a press release with a little added text. For our purposes, it's a republished WP:PRSOURCE . The Seattle Times ' s first reference has Johnson mentioned twice for an email that he wrote to politicians. Subsequent references appear to also briefly quote him, although I've run out of free articles and haven't been able to view all of them. If that holds true, they don't meet the standard at WP:BASIC : "trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability". An example of trivial given in footnote 7 there is "a mention in passing ('John Smith at Big Company said...' [...] ) that does not discuss the subject in detail." The Olympian is close as there is some context given. However, it's thinly written without much depth. HeraldNet articles 1 , 2 , and 3 don't meet WP:BASIC. Johnson is briefly quoted in all of them. Patch is not reliable per WP:USERGENERATED . (See the disclaimer at the top: "This post was contributed by a community member. The views expressed here are the author's own.") Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:53, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : In addition to the sources accepted as reliable, multiple mentions elsewhere add to notability. In addition to sources accessible on the internet, as a union leader it is highly probable that the subject has also been covered in as yet undigitized print media. -- Ipigott ( talk ) 13:13, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Just enough evidence of notability and does no harm.

TheLongTone ( talk ) 15:36, 16 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep intellectual (a social role) is clearly a distinct concept from intelligentsia (a social class). This article is not a haphazard collection of unrelated things bearing the same name, but a summary of a broadly defined social concept that has multiple aspects. Such is the nature of sociological study of roles. SFB 22:49, 16 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Keep or redirect? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 09:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep but for all the wrong reasons. Reading both articles, it's obvious that the reason why Wikipedia cannot differentiate fully between intelligentsia and intellectuals is that society cannot either. In fact both articles define themselves with overlap to the other. Ideally, the subject could be treated in a single article. But at the moment, Inteligentsia is a very narrow article dealing with the subject exclusively as connected with the history of Eastern Europe and Russia, while Intellectual is far broader but perhaps less rigorous, but nevertheless peppered with genuine historical reference. There is slim-to-zero chance that anyone is going to carry out the enormous amount of work needed to create a satisfactory merge, so until then, we have two articles covering different aspects of an obviously notable subject that might be two subjects. So my ! vote is a practically-minded keep until such times as someone comes up with a concrete desire to do the work. Redirect is hopeless because without the merge, you'd lose an enormous amount of genuine information about non-Eastern intellectualism. Elemimele ( talk ) 12:23, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per SFB above. There's enough of a distinction between the individuals (intellectuals) and the overall class (intelligentsia) to warrant separate articles. Both articles need work but the subjects are notable and well sourced enough for their own articles. Qwaiiplayer ( talk ) 13:26, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Seems that the core of the article is WP:WORDISSUBJECT . The parts of the article that are not WORDISSUBJECT are Intellectual status class , which has it's own article, Public intellectual and Persecution of intellectuals , which need their own seperate articles, and Criticism , which is mostly primary. Spinning out might be a good idea. small jars t c 17:31, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep It looks like there is a difference between Intellectual and Inteligentsia, and there are plenty of references and background to build this beyond a DICDEF. I think that background is the key difference between this and a DICDEF and there's no need to merge into Inteligentsia. Royal Autumn Crest ( talk ) 17:37, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Certainly room for an article here without devolution into the dreaded DICTDEF. Note: I wrote an article on public intellectual some time ago which was my one and only start to be merged or deleted. That still sort of pisses me off. I see now that "Public Intellectual" is a whole section of this piece and target for a search of the phrase which adds to my commitment that this is an encyclopedic topic. Carrite ( talk ) 15:22, 27 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I have to say as the nominator I'm very confused at all the "keep" votes that appear to be giving valid reasons for deletion. I have yet to see a single policy-based vote arguing in favor of keeping this article, it's all WP:ILIKEIT , and so I request that all the keep votes be disregarded by the closing admin. - car chasm ( talk ) 16:31, 27 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I don't see much of a case for deleting this, to be honest. The article's content goes beyond a definition of the subject, etymology and the kind of things which appear in dictionary entries, so it's not forbidden by WP:NOTDICT (and permitted by WP:WORDISSUBJECT ). Sure, the term "intellectual" has been applied to different things over time and in different cultures, but that doesn't make the article original research. The article clearly hasn't invented the concept of an intellectual or created it from various usages, it's a concept which an average person would be familiar with. Yes, there may be some overlap with Intelligentsia , but that's not a reason to delete or redirect this article, especially as Intelligentsia mainly focuses on eastern Europe.

Northwestern Europe: Already removed a lot of bogus sources that were nothing more than googling for a term and then citing whatever comes up, ignoring context, disregarding inconsistencies in an uncritical pursuit of confirming one's own beliefs .

Vote delete WilsonP NYC ( talk ) 17:10, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I think there is no solid conceptual ground either, because the term is only used sparingly, in wildly different contexts, and everyone defines it ad hoc , for the purposes of whatever story they want to tell, or whatever research they want to do, or whatever graph they want to show. There is no long-term commitment to "Northwestern Europe" as an enduring concept and analytical category in the sources that I checked, and therefore no commitment to defining it consistently. In other words: everyone makes it up as they go along, and this article is an arbitrary sample of people making definitions up as they go along. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 17:18, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] PS: My edit summaries may help explain just how random and SYNTH it all is. As I noted, most references are a URL which is literally someone typing in the words "northwestern europe is defined as" into Google Books, clicking on whatever looks cool, copypasting the URL into this page and then thinking they've "proven" something, disregarding contradictions and context. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 17:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete or redirect to Regions of Europe . Reviewing the sources, it seems some don't even use the term "Northwestern Europe", and in others they use a lowercase "northwestern Europe", using simple compass directions in a brief usage without defining a specific region. Perhaps Nordic race should have more relevant geographic discussion with those sources, but I agree that this article seems like synthesis because there's not much discussion of the region as a whole and how it may be consistently described. The ethnographic definitions seem like broad generalizations that are rarely consistent with geography. One can make directional references to any place with one's own definition, but without more established meaning than pointing out the obvious of what "northwest" and "europe" mean, or finding more in-depth and universal discussion, I don't see the need for this.

Looking at other Wiki articles, it appears to be quite specifically defined by the EU as a development region, in addition to its rather looser cultural definitions. So although it may be poorly sourced and written, my sense is that it definitely worth a topic as a geographical area tightly defined by a major international body and also, more loosely, but nonetheless meaningfully by historians, geographers and other specialists. Bermicourt ( talk ) 21:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] it appears to be quite specifically defined by the EU as a development region What do you base that on? The European Union is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Norway, the UK (unfortunately), and Switzerland are not even in the EU.

Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 21:51, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] RE: [The development region] is not mentioned anywhere in the article . It is now . Guliolopez ( talk ) 01:15, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] So "North-West Europe" is an interreg comprising "Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Switzerland, the Netherlands and parts of France and Germany." As I suspected this excludes Iceland, Faroe Islands, Norway, UK, but also Sweden and Denmark, and "parts of France and Germany", and also Switzerland. Completely different from the given definition and map. Starting to think this should be a DP if anything. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 06:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . And remove or cleanup the OR/SYNTH. Based on the sources returned in my own WP:BEFORE (some of which I've added to the article ), it seems that the topic (the term) has notability and a breadth of coverage in geographic, history, military and other works. While, per the nom, the article has become a COATRACK for OR, SYNTH and editorial on ethnographic and genetic content (neither section being, to my read and per the notes in the nom, supported by the linked sources), those issues can be addressed without deletion . Guliolopez ( talk ) 01:10, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I appreciate your improvements. As noted above, I'm starting to think this is going to become a list of definitions about different things rather than an article. But even if we were to make this a DP, I'm afraid all entries would fail WP:GNG . E.g. interreg#Strand B: transnational cooperation shows these are temporary programmes. Interreg North Sea Programme is the only one with a standalone article and I'm not sure it meets GNG either. If it does, and this NWE programme as well, then this whole article must be renamed and rescoped and purged to fit the interreg project, otherwise it is still a WP:COATRACK . Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 06:49, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I've removed more SYNTHed and UNSOURCED stuff that were reductionist generalisations about religion and language families. Simplistic attempts to cast "Northwestern Europe" as "Germanic" and "Protestant" seem like ethnolinguistic pan-nationalist ideas, and are probably the reason why " Germanic-speaking Europe " and " White Anglo-Saxon Protestant " were included in the See also section. I had already removed the latter as being too tangentially connected, but we should probably be removing the former as well. Given that the purported region is home to millions of speakers of Romance, Uralic, Celtic, Turkic, Semitic and other non-Germanic language families, as well as being home to millions of Catholics, atheists/agnostics/humanists, Muslims, and other non-Protestants, such generalisations really don't pass the pub test .

I was also the Ambassador for one of Leica's latest cameras and recently finished a nationwide speaking tour for them. I lead photo trips in extreme locations and teach for the Santa Fe Workshops. My work has also been in shows -- it's not held by any museum permanent collections but that's typical for photojournalists. I'm also the founder of Military.com, Affinity Labs, and Nautilus Ventures. In the early days, Wikipedia editors were scraping my creative commons flickr images and auto uploading them. I'm now spending my time assisting the National Academies to help raise the profile of scientists, engineers and medical professionals in society.

Context: For the past three years, I have been working full-time as the inaugural artist in residence at The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering & Medicine. I work for free. Essentially, I fly around the country and make portraits of people that have made significant impacts in sciences, engineering & medicine — I license all those portraits with a creative commons license and make them freely available to the world. I also update their wikipedia pages when their photos could benefit from a more recent or higher quality image. You can see some of those images here: https://www.christophermichel.com/New-Heroes/National-Academies-Portraits/ and a description of my appointment here: https://www.nationalacademies.org/news/2021/03/national-academies-of-sciences-engineering-and-medicine-name-inaugural-artist-in-residence A week or so ago, I was leading a photo trip in Greenland when I received a message from AncientWalrus (whom I don’t know) asking if I was being paid to put those portraits up on wikipedia. I said no. Shortly thereafter, he marked my wikipedia page for deletion, questioned whether I had paid people to update my page, and deleted me as the founder of military.com (on the military.com page). He claimed that many of my countless images on wilkipedia were headshots etc put up by a banned editor named Russavia (whom I also don’t know). 1. I am the founder of Military.com — there are countless references to this on the web — including appearances on CNN, news publications, my book etc (I referenced these on the links on the deletion page) 2. I never paid anyone to do anything. Nor do I receive payments for my work. I do all this to give back. To help elevate scientists in society. 3. In the early days, wikimedia was scraping my flickr page for alll the creative commons content. I had nothing do do with selecting or uploading 4. Over the 20 years since I started military.com, I tried to update my wikipedia page to keep it accurate. Notability: Notability is a subjective concept. Here is my bio as background: https://www.christophermichel.com/About There are two elements here: one is whether I am generally notable. The other is proving it. I am generally well known in the entrepreneurial and photography fields. I am the founder of Military.com, one of the few web 1.0 companies still doing well. We have 10+ million users and help service members access the benefits of service. We were one of the first social networks to reach scale. We continue to be an important source of news and information for the broader military community. I sold the company to Monster.com. I then started Affinity Labs, which did the same for nurses, teachers, police officers, etc. I also sold that company. I also started a venture capital firm called Nautilus Ventures, which made close to 100 investments. I wrote a book about Military benefits published by Simon & Schuster. And my experiences as an entrepreneur were the subject of a book called, The Intelligent Entrepreneur, Published by Holt. I was asked back to Harvard to be their entrepreneur in residence and given an honorary doctorate by Tiffin University. In 2008, I became a full time photographer and photojournalist. I’ve written for many publications, including Outside Magazine and as a columnist for Proceedings. My photos have been seen by millions and have been used by google as a screensaver, on album covers, magazine covers, front page images in newspapers. I was a Leica Ambassador and teach for the Santa Fe Workshops, Esalen and Natural World Safaris. I’ve been interviewed by many podcasters and my work has been the subject of a number of articles and features. Here’s just one example: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2901372/Pictures-edge-space-Photographer-riding-U-2-spy-plane-captures-stunning-images-13-miles-Earth.html . I added a bunch more to my deletion page — although I can see now, they don’t want images where my work appears but articles about me. Like this: https://www.thephoblographer.com/2021/07/22/how-photographer-christopher-michel-makes-stunning-soulful-portraits/ or this https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/mesmerizing-photos-of-abandoned-structures-in-the-high-arctic or this https://magazine.caltech.edu/post/national-academies-new-heroes-faculty-portraits or this https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=UO_BALVMepM . There are many more. I have exhibited by work but don’t submit for awards (though did receive a 2nd place finish in the wikimedia commons photo of the year — an image that was put on the National Geographic home page.

Yes that was my comment, I had noticed that the editor who created the article, User:Russavia, has been globally blocked for socking. But the real smoking gun that this article was created purely for promotional purposes WP:PROMO , WP:NOT is this: [2] . I have counted over 170 photographs depicting this photographer, many of them are vanity shots. To my mind, this is a sure sign of conflict of interest editing , promotional editing or undisclosed paid editing. Something's not right here. Netherzone ( talk ) 16:38, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Hello. That may be the pattern you've observed but it is not happening here. As per last search, there were 11,912 photos that I made on commons. The majority are auto-uploads from my flickr account of images created with a creative commons license. I did not initiate these uploads or review them (and they include personal photos of me and other family and friends). They were done by a wikipedia editor. There are good images and bad, personal and professional images in my flickr. I believe that practice has stopped. For many many years, the only images I'm uploading are very high quality images of notable people -- astronauts, nobel laureates, authors - images I make for free and give away under a commons license for the public good. For example, I just spend the day with Dr Tony Fauci and made his portrait for the National Academies -- and made the photos available to the commons. I do this as a matter of practice. Just a quick search on commons will be illustrative. Versions of all of these are now on the commons and have been used in many entries. Cmichel67 ( talk ) 18:34, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] And here is the big gallery of scientist & engineer portraits that I use for the commons. They are all downloadable and usable with a creative commons attribution license. I do this for free.

However, it seems someone must have provided your permission for Russavia to upload them under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license. Netherzone ( talk ) 19:56, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I can't speak to the metadata (could have been created in camera) but all of my uploads are licensed creative commons attribution. And also listed that way on Flickr. What happened many years ago with Russavia and other editors is opaque to me - but none of it was done with anything but good intentions. This conversation is seeming intent on punishing me in some way -- rather than trying to help me and the National Academies better contribute to the community. One would think that our serious dedication to providing high quality photography to commons would be easy to observe -- and would be something to praise not create an environment where people who don't understand all the intricacies of wikipedia and are made to feel badly and are punished. Enforcement of rules is important but creating an environment of generosity, kindness, and civility with the big picture in-mind would seem paramount. I'm trying my best! Cmichel67 ( talk ) 20:24, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Cmichel67 , I totally get that you are here in good faith, and please rest assured that no one is wanting or trying to punish you. The encyclopedia has a labyrinth of guidelines and policies that exist for one main reason (at least IMHO): to maintain the integrity of the encyclopedia. These "rules" if you will, have been drafted over many years collaboratively by the community thru the process of consensus. Some of those guidelines have to do with notability, and how it is established for biographies of living persons (and other subjects), and some are specific to their field of practice. Some of our policies are in place so that the encyclopedia is not used/deployed in certain ways. Others have to do with what constitutes an independent, secondary, reliable source, and significant coverage therein. And others have to do with COI. If these structures were not in place every single garage band in the world would have a WP article about them, as would every person out there looking for a job would want one, and every single advertising/PR agency would be clambering for a high-profile free advertising platform read by millions. So periodically we analyze the contents of the encyclopedia. That is why the editors in this discussion are scrutinizing the article that was put forth here. Let the AfD process unfold naturally, the community will decide the best path forward. Your input is welcome, but you don't solely get to decide the outcome. I hope that helps...!

The majority of the links provided by Michel very obviously violate one of the 3 requirements which means they ought to not count. AncientWalrus ( talk ) 16:42, 21 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sure -- the subject seems separately GN for founding and selling two companies (primary coverage in non-fiction work, in nyt + wsj, fellowship); for publishing a reference work that was widely reprinted and used in its field; and for photography work which more recently attracted mention by a range of regional or niche outlets (residency, photo communities, news about two separate events/collections).

Netherzone ( talk ) 13:51, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Question for Cmichel67 , I'm wondering if your photographs are held in the permanent collections of any notable museums or national galleries. If there are two or three verifiable notable collections that would count towards WP:NARTIST criteria #4, it would really help. I've also added Visual arts, & Military to the delete sort categories to get some more eyes from those WikiProjects. Netherzone ( talk ) 14:59, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you. Although my photographs have been used in museums as part of exhibitions, they are not part of any permanent collections that I know of. That being said, it's not typical that museums collect the work of photojournalists! There might be some hybrid cases, for example, I just photographed Dr Jennifer Doudna for her official Nobel portrait and have photographed many Nobels and National Academies members whose portraits hang at institutions, like this portrait of Dr Margaret Levi, which hangs at Stanford. Cmichel67 ( talk ) 17:12, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Cmichel67 , Is there a CV or resumé somewhere online that would list these? It would help to analyze the collections to see if they may be equivalent to notable museums or national galleries. I had a look at your website, but could not find that info there. Netherzone ( talk ) 18:53, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sadly, not that I know of. The metric for photojournalist is typically where their images appear. But, I'm different than most other photojournalists in that I give away most of my photography.

However, there's no obvious target (it has far more use than just in text messages as suggested above). Having a redirect in place tends to inhibit searching article space for this text.

Couple that with the fact that they're also not particularly useful, because if no page exists at the title, the user searching for the term gets search results, which already include a Wiktionary link if one exists ...see the link in my comment above. 35.139.154.158 ( talk ) 23:51, 7 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Then yeah, maybe delete without redirect .

Here, we examined the role of intentionality in peoples’ tendency to mind-wander more often while reading longer vs. shorter sections of text.

It’s for such circumstances that the five characters “TL;DR” have developed as a staple of online discussions. They stand for the phrase “Too Long; Didn’t Read,” and are traditionally deployed as a response to an excessively long piece of comment or argument in an online debate (or as a humorous way of asking someone to stop waffling and get to the point). TL;DR is an interesting acronym, not least because it’s one of the very few to contain a semicolon—a hint at its likely origins among the ranks of editors on Wikipedia and members of other less high-minded online forums like FARK, where it first began frequently to be used around 2003. One unusual variation on TL;DR is an animated image of a teal deer— sometimes used in online postings due to their similar pronunciation—but the ethos it embodies today is more often expressed both without the “official” semicolon and in deliberate haste." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow TL;DR to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Velella Velella Talk 22:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi Velella. I would agree that on the surface, this article appears to be self-promotion for a small, insignificant person. However, based on my experience as an Australian with a mild interest in photography, Ken Duncan is reasonably famous in our region, at least as far as photographers go. His panoramic photos are commonly seen in homes, cafes, health clinics etc. I've heard more than a couple of people say phrases like "Oooh, I love that Ken Duncan" when spotting a framed print on a wall somewhere. There would only be a small handful of other Australian photographers with his level of success, and I can't even think of their names at the moment. If someone asked me to name a famous photographer, he'd probably be the first name that would come to mind. There are dozens of his photographic prints on the 2nd hand market, with some selling for many thousands of dollars, if that is anything to go by: - https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/550/i.html? _from=R40&_nkw=ken+duncan - https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-art/ken+duncan/k0c20039 There's also dozens of news articles about him: https://news.google.com/search? q=ken%20duncan&hl=en-AU&gl=AU&ceid=AU%3Aen , including by ABC news, Daily Mail, SBS, Channel 9 News, Australian Geographic, etc. I think the article needs some better sources/references, as I agree, a single Creation article is not adequate. I hope that it can be improved, and not deleted. SimonEast ( talk ) 00:18, 18 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I did see these sources during a search before nominating but I couldn't see that any of them conveyed notability as almost all appear to be interviews , or based on interviews with the subject.

The refs used at fi:Kuopion tuomiokirkko are all rather bad.

Even the Finnish Heritage Agency listing is just stuff like "Made of stone, building started in X by so-and-so, halted in Z, continued in W, seats replaced in Y".

Ljleppan ( talk ) 08:45, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I can't read Finnish or Swedish (or Russian for that matter) and don't have access to newspaper archives in either language either.

I'm invoking IAR for this because I believe WP:ARCHITECT#3 applies in spirit here. The purpose of the clause you're querying about really is not to exclude verifiable architects of notable buildings from 200 years ago. It would not serve the encyclopedia to follow this guideline to the letter here. Instead, let's follow the spirit of the guideline, and recognize that it better serves the first and second pillars to include an article about a verifiable architect of multiple notable structures from 200 years ago. — siro χ o 11:16, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If you believe the guidelines should be changed, you are naturally free to propose the change on relevant talk page. I'm also rather confused why you keep bringing up pre-1900 newspapers , nothing in the guidelines says the references must be contemporary. Perhaps you are misunderstanding " periodical " in periodical articles or reviews as "period"? Ljleppan ( talk ) 11:20, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Also, I happen to have access to archives of historical newspapers and other publications published in Finland, and I can't see any relevant hits in either Finnish or Swedish newspapers. There's someone called "Carl Palmroth" going about; a reverend "A. Palmroth" does something or else; someone called "C. O. Palmroth" has levied a bunch of money from various bank accounts as part of some debt recovery process; a dentist called "R.W. Palmroth" advertises his services; a land survey commissioner called Palmroth is traveling to Hamburg in 1881 (nb: our subject died 1825); someone called "Georg Juhana Palmroth" gets a diamond decorated ring from the Russian Emperor in 1882; a lieutenant Palmroth is going about around 1807 doing something with a first platoon, etc. etc. The only even potentially relevant hits are non-news things like this , which lists the name of "Pehr Vilhelm Palmroth" as an ensign of the Royal Uplands Regiment, and this which says the same guy is a conductor in 1809. These contribute nothing towards a GNG pass. Ljleppan ( talk ) 11:43, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If this comes up multiple times I may propose a change, but I don't see a need now. Appreciate your input. — siro χ o 11:47, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] source I added a source in Swedish to the article.

Thanks to them, I was able to find another in-depth source, added into the article, and I think its sufficient for GNG now, in addition to ARCHITECT.3 — siro χ o 23:02, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Siroxo : Help me out here, again: what sources do you claim constitute a GNG pass? Because as far as I can see, the Finska Museum ref is just two extremely brief mentions of the subject, same for Sveriges kyrkor . Do you have access to the sources beyond what is shown in the Google Books preview? If yes, please describe how they match the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews requirement of WP:NARCHITECT #3. It'd be best if you could write up a brief WP:THREE statement (from either a GNG or an NARCHITECT angle, whichever you believe is the strongest) to help the rest of us figure out whether we agree with your rather plain assertion on the notability pass. Ljleppan ( talk ) 06:00, 13 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Just out of interest, asking for a friend and all that, but what is that long wooden thing over there? Looks to me a lot like a stick, I'd have to say... Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 12:07, 13 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] For the benefit of everyone, I went to scour the stacks and found the archival copy of Finskt Museum, vol XIX (btw, as far as I could determine, the book is not "in Finnish and Swedish" and the relevant article is only in the Swedish version). The two snippets shown by Google Books is indeed everything there is: two passing mentions. I also checked the separate index, and it contained the following entry: Palmroth, P. W., arkitekt F 1912: 63, 69. . So that appears to be all for that source. While in the stacks, I also sought out Sveriges kyrkor by Bergman. It mentions Palmroth only a few times. One is in an index of figures on page 594. Another is on a spread, where four drawings are attributed to him in two separate captions (pages 346-347). These drawings are describe briefly in associated text (pages 344-345), in a total of two paragraphs. Palmroth is barely mentioned. He's also mentioned in a three-paragraph description of a 1796 church in Venjan on page 561. The description is an extremely bare-bones description of the church, with Palmroth only mentioned in passing as the architect. Finally, he is mentioned once on page 591 in an English language summary, which appears to translate the three paras from page 561 verbatim, which just demonstrates how bare-bones the description is. My Swedish is rather rudimentary, so it's possible I missed something, but based on what I saw I consider precisely none of this helpful in terms of GNG. Ljleppan ( talk ) 14:44, 13 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] i wanna thanks to Ljleppan . Appreciate.I understand exactly what you are saying: work so much hard about sources and read them. but as a user who wrote this Article, still believed WP:NARCHITECT #3 per for the subject. -- Patricia (Talk) 12:03, 14 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is getting rather frustrating, with all the vague hand waving and poor sources presented so far. What sources do you base this on? What are the multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or [the] independent and notable work required by WP:NARCHITECT#3? Ljleppan ( talk ) 12:29, 14 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - Above keep ! votes put forwards two arguments: either the subject passes WP:GNG (which is equivalent to the " basic criteria " of WP:NBIO ), or that the subject passes WP:NARCHITECT #3. I cannot see any supporting evidence for either position. In terms of GNG, the references presented in both this article and the fi.wp article are all either bare bones database entries (e.g. Structurae , Kringla ), database entries that only mention the subject in passing (e.g. kyppi.fi ), passing mentions ( Sveriges of Norges statskalendar ), self-published ( kauvatsankarjalaiset.net , upplandia.se ) or combination thereof ( pohjois-savonmuisti.fi ). This also applies to the sources presented above during the AfD. For example, having looked up physical copies in the local archives, Finskt Museum is two passing mentions. Sveriges kyrkor is not any better. See above for extensive descriptions of my attempts to validate the proposed references. A search for Finnish sources, including historical archives of newspapers and other works published in Finland whether in Finnish or Swedish going back to when the subject was alive, reveals no further sourcing that would raise to the level of GNG (or WP:NBASIC or WP:ANYBIO , for that matter). As for WP:NARCHITECT #3, the above ! votes all conveniently ignore the second sentence of that very point: In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) . No such coverage is evident on the linked Wikipedia articles, and no such coverage has been presented in this discussion. The fact that Sveriges kyrkor - a compilation of literally 200+ books taking up several meters of space on shelves and discussing quite literally every Swedish church ever - barely mentions the subject or his works speaks volumes. In total, none of the keep votes have put forward the references required by the guidelines they point to. As such, I see no other policy (or guideline) based option but to ! vote delete. - Ljleppan ( talk ) 16:38, 14 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Could I gently suggest consideration of WP:DROPTHESTICK and WP:BLUDGEON now? The man is 200 years old. He is the (well) documented architect of many, many churches and public buildings in Finland and Sweden. The present clear consensus here is that he is presumed notable per WP:ARCHITECT . Let's leave it to other contributors, if any? Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 07:16, 15 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Agree . With full respect for all users. -- Patricia (Talk) 17:02, 15 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Alexandermcnabb : As someone who had argued keep, I disagree. I think that Ljleppan makes a reasonable case, with reasonable arguments, and that no one else is seriously engaging with the discussion about lacking sources. I looked up Palmroth in what I'd describe as the major work on the history of Swedish architecture in modern times ( Den svenska arkitekturens historia by Fredric Bedoire), where he's once mentioned in passing because someone else's plans passed through his hands working at the superintendent's office, but there was no mention of his work as an architect. / Julle ( talk ) 01:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Hello, Julie Julle. To engage with the discussion about lacking sources, since the start of this discussion, it clear to me we now have a WP:HEY for WP:BASIC /GNG for the subject via sources now in the article. Consider, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability . We now have that. I appreciate your source, and if you feel it helps I would appreciate you adding it, but I understand if you choose not to. Earlier, the discussion got a bit away from us, and that's completely fine, but I think that's why Alexandermcnabb raised their suggestion. — siro χ o 02:48, 16 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Siroxo : I'd be happy to ! vote keep if you just point out which sources in specific support such a position. But I'd also point out the sentence immediately following what you cited, as well as the explanatory footnote attached to it: trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability. and Non-triviality is a measure of the depth of content of a published work, and how far removed that content is from a simple directory entry or a mention in passing . See also the rest of the explanatory footnote about database sources. In this case, all we have in reliable sources is trivial mentions such as directory entries or mentions in passing.

The link gives the blank search engine, I think this one should give the 36 buildings result. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 04:12, 17 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It seems it is not possible to link directly to a search result in the database. One has to type Palmroth's name in each case. / FredrikT ( talk ) 08:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, you're right! It's odd, because it worked when I tested the link, but clearly some cache or other clears the result after a short while. Hey ho!!!
