Mark Grossman: BrigadierG ( talk ) 22:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] But he has played one of the central roles in the most popular US soap opera for the past five years (which became an Emmy nomination). Wikipedia has articles about actors with far fewer credits. And I looked at his imdb pages and apparently he has also done film roles. -- Pisces ( talk ) 04:06, 27 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per WP:BEFORE . One click and found lots of potential sources . Bearian ( talk ) 13:40, 1 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The Google result sheet isn't exactly brimming with high-quality sources, but the nomination statement doesn't even contain a reason for deletion (we have plenty of pages for actors who have never been Emmy nominated), hence keep.

List of golf video games: TWOrantula TM ( enter the web ) 05:27, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games and Golf .

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 10:53, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep If this list isn't notable, then Lists of sports video games and everything in it are not notable either and should likely have all been bundled together. However, I believe it does pass NLIST as sports video games are a notable subject. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 12:31, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep WP:LISTN can be met, even if it's not currently shown in the article. Did you do WP:BEFORE ? Here are a few reliable sources covering the group: [33] , [34] , [35] (Well, sports, to zxcvbnm's point, but related), [36] (SI comparing different golf video games), [37] (A situational, but here it is), [38] (More group coverage), [39] , [40] , [41] ... and so on. -- ferret ( talk ) 14:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Valid navigational list. Category:Golf video games exist, and list are more useful than categories, more information able to be shown. We need to make the list guideline more obvious since this keeps coming up for years now. D r e a m Focus 17:08, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , but damn does it ever need some serious cleanup. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 20:35, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : The sources provided above show that the topic of this list is widely-covered by reliable sources as a group or set in both the golf world and the video game world, satisfying WP:NLIST criteria. Left guide ( talk ) 21:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Ferret's sources. The list is not very well sourced at the moment, but the article as a whole meets the WP:NLIST criteria. Conyo14 ( talk ) 22:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Most of the article includes notable games. There could be some chances for doing a small cleanup. Dympies ( talk ) 02:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The article is properly sourced, and it does meet WP:NLIST . I see no reason for deletion. MKsLifeInANutshell ( talk ) 05:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This vote is a little suspect, @ MKsLifeInANutshell . Pretty much ever ! Keep agrees the article is not properly sourced. Did you actually look? We're headed to a keep regardless but you need to be doing a proper evaluation before ! voting. -- ferret ( talk ) 13:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - the whole premise of this nomination puzzles me. The claim is that it fails NLIST. NLIST would generally be satisfied when reliable sources discuss a similar grouping of subjects. Do you mean to tell me that your belief is that publications have never written any articles about the incredibly common subject of golf video games . I get the concern when editors write these bizarre lists like "Platform games featuring animals and time travel", but why would one think a common sports video games wouldn't have coverage out there?

Association for Research into Crimes against Art: Can't find any significant coverage. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 05:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime and Organizations . PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 05:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Arts-related deletion discussions . WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 05:31, 7 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Agreed, I cannot find any reliable sources when I do a detailed search. Maybe worth mentioning in another article but definitely does not need an article of its own. Endersslay ( talk ) 16:04, 7 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Can you please check the updated article. I have cited some 54 links to ARCA's work at this time. Many of the governmental and nongovernmental institutions, as well as mainstream newspapers and art-related publications. I am a bit puzzled that you could not find any reliable sources. I hope the ones I have added suffice. Avignonesi Avignonesi ( talk ) 11:54, 9 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi @ Avignonesi , replying to you here since the threads are getting mixed up. Sources that mention an article subject in passing are generally not sufficient to establish notability. See WP:SIGCOV and, for pages of this type, Wikipedia:SIRS , on the standards by which we evaluate this. Despite the new sources you've added, the problems raised in our longer thread below (most are primary or cursory mentions) remain in my view. As such, most of the substance of the article is not a synthesis of in-depth secondary sources, but rather original research. See Wikipedia:NOR . Arcendeight ( talk ) 14:02, 9 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Noting I have just edited my typo "threats" to "threads." Apologies! Arcendeight ( talk ) 14:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . Agree for similar reasons. Just carried out my own search and pulled up very little usable material. Also looked into alternative places to mention the subject, but none of the organizations or individuals mentioned has its own article. Arcendeight ( talk ) 14:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Bear in mind that ARCA works with relevant law enforcement agencies in Europe, the United States, and the UK, many of which intentionally have a smaller electronic "footprint" by choice or who would require layers of permissions to authorise having their names used. This should not reflect negatively on the CSO or its work mission, but rather speaks to the discretion required when working in the crime prevention and intelligence gathering arena. Avignonesi ( talk ) 18:18, 8 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I'll take another look and change my vote if convinced, but I would emphasize that our standards for notable coverage don't make exceptions for supposedly secret or discreet activities. I'm not sure what you mean by CSO in your preceding mission. Is this another name for the ARCA? I don't see the acronym anywhere in the article. Separately, I'm not convinced much of the content in the article is particularly notable. For example, that an affiliated researcher has been appointed to a position at the British Museum doesn't mean much; I would find that much more notable if there was an official partnership between the ARCA and the British Museum. Also 3/11 paragraphs in this article are about one sentence in a Dan Brown novel mentioning the ARCA. In any case, I'll look into the sources added and consider changing my vote, but as it stands, even if the article is kept, I think much of this content should go. In the meantime, I'll do some copy-editing as its not in a great state. Arcendeight ( talk ) 22:42, 8 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] On further consideration, I'm sticking to my original position. I further note that most of the sources included do not meet the criteria in WP:SIRS . By my count, only ~7 of 17 sources are secondary, the rest are used as primary sources. And several of these secondary sources don't stand for the propositions they're provided for. Two, for example, are about the Lot 448 film, but neither of the two mentions any tie between the film and ARCA. This does not count as significant coverage, which I think is really the crux of the issue: ARCA is, charitably, mentioned briefly only in a few secondary sources. By way of further example, the whole anecdote about the quotation in the Dan Brown book is only cited with reference to a blog post that does not contain the text the article claims it does! Arcendeight ( talk ) 22:57, 8 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Hello Arcendeight, I continue to disagree with/oppose this article's deletion though perhaps, earlier, it did need a significant update. In hopes that you will change your opinion, I will start this discussion explaining what a CSO is civil society organization using wikipedia's own entry for such organisation types. I have also added this to the article for clarification in case others are similarly stumped. ARCA has been in existence, providing expertise it its field since 2009. CSO is a term which is fairly common in United Nations circles and given there are articles describing them I thought it was already clear. Hope my change has rectified that. My apologies in advance as I assumed if you were editing/following this page, you yourself worked in Civil Society circles or in the fields of Law or not-for-profits. In the US, UK, and EU there are different categories for not for profit and they are divided into the types of "causes" and memberships they represent and in the US also according to tax status. ARCA is a CSO via European Union standards. Now on to the tough stuff, I've added significantly more citations using primary and secondary sources. They are in fact out there and available, if one knows where to look. Since that too may not have been clear, I have probably overcited, in hopes to put this to rest. I am happy to edit this page further to make it compliant with what you are looking for, though I do think the article now qualifies as being encyclopedic as well as verifiable and Notable given that significant coverage of ARCA's work and activities sited in this article are backed up and cited in reliable professional and media sources. ARCA's been around and working on cultural property issues and crimes for more than a decade and has trained heritage professionals working in more than 40 countries. While small, it does important work and it is recognised by government institutions like the United Nations, UNESCO, Europol, Interpol and most countries with art and antiquities crime investigation units. To link to some of its more public work, which I have cited and linked a PDF to ARCA's CEO was invited in official partnership to the British Museum's task force on this theft which involves more than 2000 objects from their collection. This is a select committee where ARCA's representative, Lynda Albertson, is only of just two of the 13 members appointed to the task force which have been publicly named. The other being James Ratcliff from the Art Loss Register. We cited this partnership as it is one of the few we are not judicially barred from discussing. Albertson is also the individual whose work with ARCA is highlighted in the film Lot 448 which was a Tribeca Film Festival documentary entry. The film mentions ARCA both in the filming sequences, as well as in its credits. I've added a second film credit, both of which are in IMDB for verification. As for the Dan Brown mention, I agree it is dated, and if it needs to go, I have no problems with it being deleted however it is verifiable that the organisation is cited in Brown's book, and the reference material he used was extracted from the blog article referenced. If you tell me what else this article lacks or needs, I'd be happy to try and see if I can find the requested data, but I don't think this page is is violation of wikipedia's focus on encyclopedic articles, or at least any longer. Avignonesi ( talk ) 04:46, 9 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Oppose/Keep . I respectfully disagree. I was quickly able to find relevant links to important organisations who have worked with and cited the civil society's work including, UNESCO, UNIDROIT, and a European Commission funded project which substantiate this organisation's role in the art and antiquities crime area and therefore as a relevant entry to Wikipedia. I also note a recent documentary film, entered into the Tribeca film festival in 2021 which also highlighted the work this organisation has done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avignonesi ( talk • contribs ) 17:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There is no significant coverage from secondary sources. There are brief passing mentions, but that doesn't help the case for notability PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 04:19, 9 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Agreed, mentions overwhelmingly fail to meet WP:SIGCOV . As such, most of the article is OR. Arcendeight ( talk ) 13:55, 9 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I would like to state for the record that I have made no threats, and I would appreciate it if the editor named "Arcendeight" would edit his/her comment for clarity. I believe they may have meant to use the word "threads" ,as threats implies malicious behavior, but given they used the word "threats" twice in their Talk rebuttal, I would appreciate it if they would clarify their statements or lined through them acknowledging to the Wikipedia administrators reviewing this page for possible deletion, that there has been no such activity on my part. Nota Bene: I would be remiss if I did not add that it has not gone unnoticed, that the most vocal of the editors marking this article as AfD, "Arcendeight", previously reversed edits I made, in relation to a more contentious entry to an article regarding a living person which related to the subject's editorial decisions regarding the nonpublication of an article on the topic of genocide in relation to the current Isreali war on Palestine. While I disagreed with the revert. I removed myself from that article's editing in order to not engage in controversy. Shortly after that, and apparently following the articles I have edited to the one on the Association for Research into Crimes against Art Wikipedia article, this same editor has now voted in favor of AfD. This is unsettling considering the probability of one single Wikipedia editor electing to edit two unrelated articles I have edited, out of the 6,781,369 articles listed on Wikipedia (as of February 2024) seems more than tangentially coincidental, especially given the fact that I had bowed out of editing the page where we had previously had opposing viewpoints. Despite my concerns regarding this "follow" and in the spirit of moving forward and working to correct very real deficits to this previously quite stale article over the course of several days, in the spirit of collaboration I have done the following. I have (again) reviewed Wikipedia:Notability which discusses that a article's entity must be verifiable and that it must have significant coverage in reliable sources which are more than a trivial mention, but do not need to be the main topic of the source material. I have also reviewed Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) which states that a company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. While I believe that this was already concretized with the edits I made to this article earlier this week, which included the addition of more than 60 primary and secondary source citations, including the Association for Research into Crimes against Art being cited in newspaper articles, journal articles, and high level institutional acknowledgements of the Association's work coming from UNESCO, UNIDROIT, ICOM, I would still like to try to further address the editors, who are in favour of the deletion of this article, concerns. Bearing in mind that they have said they "cannot find any reliable sources when I do a detailed search" and "Just carried out my own search and pulled up very little usable material." Here is the listing of even more citations which meet the secondary source criteria which I have now added to this article. For clarity, I have listed the topic areas where I have inserted these additional citations and am happy to move them elsewhere if the editors believe they would be better positioned someplace else in the article. ARCA's founding, listing as a nonprofit CSO and information about its work mission, are detailed in these secondary source books and conference papers. In addition I have listed a few secondary source journal articles. Hufnagel, Saskia, and Duncan Chappell, eds. The palgrave handbook on art crime. Palgrave Macmillan UK, 2019. Van Herzeele, Richard.

The point now being, that I think this article demonstrates sufficient evidence, but has an excess of reliable sources (some 70 in total) which document, in overkill, the subject's significant coverage instead of a lack of documented noteworthiness, or lack of documented reliable sources independent of the article's subject. Especially when I look at other Civil Society Organisation articles within Wikipedia that are themselves not up for AfD and are similarly well cited. I might also add that there are other extremely poorly documented societies, organizations, activist groups, etc., which have not been well documented as being noteworthy who have not been stubbed AfD. In conclusion, I am happy to edit out the superfluous, or if the other editors prefer to do so they have the liberty to do so themselves and I think I have provided them with sufficient material to vet what they feel gets the job done. I'd also like to stress is that this is not a static page marked for Afd where the original creating editors have no investment in fixing the problem. One can see by the number of edits, that I am actively trying to improve the articles deficits, now that said deficits have been brought to my attention. I believe in doing so, this article adheres to and complies with (current) Wikipedia's standards. I could use tightening, and I can ask another editor to do so, but I did not want to wade into the vote matching approach to addressing this via the AfD talk but rather where edits normally occur, in furtherance of improving articles themselves. avignonesi ( talk ) 09:19, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] 3 sources that are 1) reliable 2) independent of the subject 3) significant and not passing coverage are better than 70 one line mentions. From a look over the sources you have added there are none that are all three of those things. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 11:35, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you for your comment Parakanyaa, if you can please select the three out of the 70 you feel meet the standards, given that you have read all the new additions in the 2 hours and 16 mins since I posted, I would be pleased to know which meet your standards. But to say that all 70 are passing mention only is categorically inaccurate. avignonesi ( talk ) 15:40, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The onus is on you as the person who provided them. I checked several and they all seemed to fail. Feel free to provide three that qualify. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 16:07, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi PARAKANYAA, Early in my edits made this weeks to rectify problems on this page resulted in me deleting links and citations which didn't pass the 1-2-3 criteria you mention. All citations that are embedded now are: 1) reliable (most being academic sources, primary news sources, or publications from academic presses. 2) independent of the subject at the time the articles, books or conference papers were written, (though for transparency, three authors have been affiliated with the organisation AFTER the writing of the article or book indicated. 3) significant and not passing coverage. They speak to the Association's activities, its formation, its assistance in the recovery of looted and stolen art in the United States and the UK, and to it being called upon to comment on, or research, art and antiquities related crimes based upon its expertise. Additionally, since 2010, this organisation has been noteworthy enough to annually draw conference attendees from around the world who attend ARCA art crime conference and have objectively written so in articles I've cited. Photos of these events showing 90-100 attendees are available on the association's own social media pages which I did not link to as they would be self referential. Lastly since 2020 ARCA has been consulted upon and filmed regarding their work in investigations in two documentaries, both of which I have included and cited, one produced and paid for by SkyArts, a not insignificant channel, and the other sponsored by the jewellery company BVLGARI using an award winning director, as their entry into the Tribeca film festival. It doesn't make sense that a major Italian firm would sponsor an organisation that didn't hold standing in the field, nor would SkyArts waste valuable airtime approving a documentary which is/was viewable on their UK and Italian channels, which doesn't hold their viewers interest. Respectfully, I think it is safe for now to say that we simply disagree. avignonesi ( talk ) 17:44, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] All you've done is WP:REFBOMB this article in an effort to save it. That is not a winning tactic. If you show me three of the many, many sources you've added that fulfill all three of what I mentioned above, then sure, but what you have provided is not a valid reason to keep the article. We can't keep it just because it's important, somehow, if there is not significant coverage to back up that fact. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 08:41, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I have already agreed that the total number of citation is in excess and have specifically asked for the dissenting editors assistance on which to keep and which to omit, moreover, because the distinction between primary and secondary sources is subjective and contextual, as Wikipedia itself states. To wit, I asked @PARAKANYAA for his assistance, which he declined. I was simply asking for constructive feedback from the editors in favor of the AfD to select which they felt provided the clearest examples of citations within Wikipedia's current standards for inclusion, especially in light of the fact that they felt this article should be removed. I state on this record however that my "citation overkill" was done in part to highlight the fact that @PARAKANYAA claimed he could not find any significant coverage on the subject of this article and @Endersslay stated they too could not find any reliable sources when they did a detailed search. The fact that I found so many, I think shows I have an interest in not only preserving the article, but underscoring that the other two editors are perhaps less well versed in the subject matter. If I am wrong, I ask them in the spirit of collaboration to please feel free to provide me with a counter viewpoint. All that said, I categorically affirm that the citations added were not inserted to shore up my point, in contrast they were added to underscore the ease of which I found secondary sources documenting this organisation and to also underline the notability of the subject. My intent was for the opposing editors to take the time to read the linked existing legitimate sources to end this dispute, and knowing some are paywalled or are found in expensive academic books, I thought it best to make the list as comprehensive as possible and to then whittle that list back collaboratively. While I have (repeatedly) stated that I am aware of the citation clutter, I have also (repeatedly) requested the opposing editors decide for themselves what they themselves want to see as a "legitimate source" given they are the ones voting in favour of AfD. @PARAKANYAA said the onus is on me, but I am not in favor of deletion, so therefore I am not in a position to decide what he thinks does or does meet his standard. And as I perfectly know that no one knows everything or about the existence of everything. A subject's existence need not be known about by most people in order to qualify for an article. Some obscure physics and philosophy concepts are only known to a handful of scholars, but since these concepts are described by a number of reliable sources, Wikipedia elects to have articles about them. The study of art and antiquities crime should be no different. With that in mind, Here are not three but five select group citations. I have more than three as these are available to all editors as they are all open source whereas others are not. Citation 6 Hufnagel, Saskia, ed. (2019). The Palgrave Handbook on Art Crime. published by Palgrave Macmillan. ISBN 978-1137544049. The editors of this book state who Noah Charney is and that he is the founder of the Association for Research into Crimes against Art. They also state that he serves as the editor-in-chief of The Journal of Art Crime, the first peer-reviewed academic journal in the field and confirm the organisation's website. Citation 13 ARCA is acknowledged for its research by the International Council of Museums' - ICOM) International Observatory on Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods. ICOM is an organisation made up of 45,000 members representing museums and museum employees in 138 countries. The ICOM observatory's citation reinforces that ARCA is part of a important network of international partners including international organisations, law enforcement agencies, research institutions and external expert stakeholders working in the field of illicit trafficking as it relates to cultural property which museum professionals can turn to. Citation 42 ARCA is cited within the framework of the UNESCO 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property, and as a direct partner with UNESCO providing training in conflict and post conflict middle eastern countries. This citation clear shows that ARCA conducted this training, funded through UNESCO's Heritage Emergency Fund. As an added confirmation UNIDROIT mentions this training and photographs ARCA's CEO one one of the days of the training alongside a poster of the training session which has ARCA's logo clearly displayed alongside UNESCO's and UNIDROIT. https://www.unidroit.org/training-program-for-specialist-working-to-deter-cultural-property-theft-and-the-illicit-trafficking-of-antiquities/ Citation 53 In the open source court filings for the State of New York against Michael Steinhardt, Assistant District Attorney Matthew Bogdanos speaks to the fact that Ms. Albertson directs ARCA, an initiative to promote the study and research of art crime and cultural heritage protection and that in this role ARCA compiles dossiers on international trafficking networks and liaises with law enforcement globally. Citation 55 ARCA was invited to UNESCO's Paris Headquarters as part of a Category 6 expert committee, aimed at reinforcing due diligence conducted in the European art trade while sensitising relevant stakeholders to the different implications of illicit trafficking of cultural property. This is confirmed by the PDF document which shows that Ms. Albertson gave a presentation right after the opening remarks in which she provided the attendees with an overview of the European art market and its role in the illicit trafficking of cultural property. Thank you for your time. avignonesi ( talk ) 13:16, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] To the extent that you seem to allege bad faith, @ Avignonesi , I categorically deny that. I edit regularly from my watchlist as you can see on my userpage. Your talk page is on my watchlist precisely because, when I reverted your edit a month ago, I posted a message there in order to explain my reasoning. As such, the AfD notification and subsequent CS1 error messages are on my watchlist. I apologize for any stress this perceived "follow," as you put it, may have caused. In any case, that is irrelevant to the substance of this discussion and my views are clear above, so I will bow out.

The first one I clicked on seems notable, so let's go one by one. Here's the first, from the Yale Daily News . Anything wrong with that one? Randy Kryn ( talk ) 13:25, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Thanks for contributing to this discussion and I agree this one is ok @ Randy Kryn . I am not sure why the previous editors are asking me to justify with only three citations but I am trying to get this review for deletion rectified. What do you think about the other five citations that I posted above? I tried to select from extremely reputable international sources that I truly hope won't be contestable. avignonesi ( talk ) 09:35, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Don't interviews not count for notability? PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 10:42, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ PARAKANYAA Having read interviews , I would agree with you that the Yake citation is Primary as per wikipedia's notations. So I have removed it, also because there were sufficient others which confirm the same details. That leaves 70 others if you want to go through these one by one. My suggestion is to look to the five I listed above as they assuredly meet your Citations 6, 13, 42, 53, 55. I specifically asked that these be reviewed as I am sure these in particular (and many others) meet the 1) reliable 2) independent of the subject 3) significant and not passing coverage criteria for justifying this articles presence within Wikipedia. I listed these as I did not want to slow you down with your review process with links that are paywalled or books you might not have access to unless you are able to visit important art historical libraries. avignonesi ( talk ) 14:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Citation 53: court filings do not count for notability Citation 55: being listed in a document with no commentary or discussion does not count for notability Citation 6 has them citing ARCA but no actual discussion of the organization. Citation 13 is just a listing of their resources (primary?) Citation 42, they're mentioned briefly but little to no discussion on them, this one is closer though None of these count. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 15:00, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Why would interviews not count for notability? The Yale Daily News is a reputable newspaper and (at least in the old bygone days) journalists usually check for accuracy and would be questioning the existence and importance of this organization if the data was inaccurate. The nomination states that no significant coverage exists, but it seems obvious from the added sources that it does. Why not just close the nom, or does the nominator still think that sources don't exist? Randy Kryn Read WP:Interviews . Essay not policy of course, but still. Good for facts but getting interviewed by a reliable source doesn't make one notable. Yes, they exist, they're not a hoax, sources exist , but not ones showing significant coverage PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 15:01, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] An opinion essay. Please be aware of how journalism works (or used to). Journalists check, then double-check, sources, and clarify all statements to the best of their ability. Interviews are usually secondary sources, not primary, and individuals or facts used in interviews are then vetted, analyzed, and either passed as correct or the article or interview is scrapped. The opinion essay may not take the process of journalism into account. Randy Kryn ( talk ) 15:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Interviews are inherently primary as they are not independent from the subject, and therefore cannot count for notability. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 15:26, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Did you read my comment above? Primary means the topic subject is writing about itself with no review or vetting being done. An interview of the subject or someone associated with the subject then falls under fact-checking and normal journalistic methods. Journalism 101. Randy Kryn ( talk ) 15:33, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The interview with the person who runs the organization is obviously not independent of the organization. All mentions of ARCA in that interview are from the founder of the organization - no journalism involved. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 15:35, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ PARAKANYAA , you're wrong. Interviews are not inherently primary. Also, Wikipedia:Secondary does not mean independent . If the local radio station interviews a historian about local history, then that doesn't make the historian non-independent of the subject of the interview (which is local history, not the expert). Interviews can be independent or non-independent. An example of an independent interview is when the interviewer is a journalist, the interviewee is a historian, and the subject of the interview is a piece of history that the interviewee had nothing to do with. An example of a non-independent interview is when the interviewee is an actor, and the subject of the interview is the latest film the actor starred in. Interviews can be primary or secondary. An example of a primary interview is when actors are asked questions about their personal experience with making their latest films. An example of a secondary interview is when the historian explains that there are two main points of view about a historical event, and that each viewpoint has different advantages or limitations. As a mathematical likelihood, most interviews are primary and non-independent. This particularly includes nearly all interviews of celebrities and politicians. But "most" is not the same as "all". You cannot figure out whether a source is primary or independent merely by looking at whether it's an interview. You must consider whether the interviewee is talking about himself or about something else. WhatamIdoing ( talk ) 21:08, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ WhatamIdoing Fair enough, and in future discussions I will take that into consideration. Still, this is the entire portion about ARCA: "There was a big New York Times Magazine article about it at the same time “The Art Thief” came out, so the momentum allowed me to establish the ARCA, the Association for Research into Crimes against Art. It creates a bridge between academics and police by teaching police about art crime strategy with theory and practical knowledge." and "ARCA has established the first library with books published in the field of art crime and there are about 250 books in the collection,". He is talking about his organization. Non-independent. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 21:11, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] If the source in question is an interview, then we'd call that non-independent and primary. But if it's a normal newspaper article, and one small portion of the article quotes him, then that newspaper article is still independent overall, so Wikipedia would treat it as an independent source. Similarly, a newspaper article might be primary or secondary; see WP:PRIMARYNEWS for more on that. I find that, over the years, editors have been quick to assume that newspaper articles are "second-hand, and therefore secondary", but even though that's the common mistake, it's also important not to go too far the other direction. If the newspaper article provides comparison, analysis, evaluation, etc., then it's secondary (according to our rules). It can be a bit complicated. WhatamIdoing ( talk ) 22:20, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Noted. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 22:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Here's the second page source I clicked on , from UNESCO, a reputable organization . What is wrong with this one? Randy Kryn ( talk ) 15:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There's nothing in there that is "significant coverage" of ARCA. They are mentioned, that isn't a point for notability when there's nothing else. I will concede that is a lot better than most of these other sources. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 15:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The whole article is about the collaboration event between UNESCO and the Association, everything in it concerns ARCA and UNESCO. Not understanding keeping this open, the nom has been well addressed and improvements in sources and to the page since its inception fulfill what should be the main purpose of AfD, to save articles that are savable with further effort (in this case the effort seems to have been successfully put in). Randy Kryn ( talk ) 15:29, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This is not saveable. At best there is one source that sort-of-maybe counts and nothing else. Interviews with the people who run an organization are inherently connected to that organization (therefore failing the criterion that sources be independent) and do not count for notability. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 15:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Please read Journalism ethics and standards . These standards cover interviews. Interviews, if published by reputable newspapers, magazines, or hard-news television shows, are secondary sources. They are vetted. They are fact checked. As for "this is not saveable" that seems an incorrect assessment, as it has already been saved by the addition of many reputable sources (I've clicked on a couple more, the page is notable, and this discussion has become a time sink). Randy Kryn ( talk ) 16:09, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I disagree. Not a single source I have seen seems to show this organization being notable, merely 70 very brief mentions. Notability is not inherited and someone who is in the organization mentioning the organization in an interview for two brief sentences certainly does not count. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 16:42, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Now about 6 times larger than when nominated, on raw bytes, & seems ok. Johnbod ( talk ) 00:42, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Johnbod and Headbomb : This org publishes the Journal of Art Crime . It's not listed in Scopus, and I'm not sure how else to determine whether art and/or law journals might be notable. Do you have any suggestion? WhatamIdoing ( talk ) 21:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Sorry, no - I don't know much about journal notability. But many notable organizations must publish non-notable journals. Johnbod ( talk ) 02:42, 18 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep. I have checked twenty of the references cited in this article and find them to meet the secondary citation criteria as well as the 1) reliable 2) independent of the subject 3) significant criteria. Some of the other citations are unavailable to me due to paywalls or the fact that the academic publication/book cited I do not personally own. It is my opinion that this improved article meets the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia, however it could still use more work for smoother reading and perhaps arranging some citations in a better way and removing the redundant ones. A better alternative to deletion is to place the appropriate issue tags on the page, alerting others who read the article to the improvements that need to be made. As it stands though it is overall a well cited article with numerous confirmatory secondary sources which I had no difficulty in confirming via open source and digital news sites. While the subject of this article is an organisation working in a niche specialised field that may be more well known to those familiar with the fields of art historical research and art and antiquities restitution, it is no less notable than other organisations that are listed in wikipedia hyper-focused on art crime research, such as the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, or the Antiquities Coalition, India Pride Project, and others. All of whom have pages and are organisations bigger and smaller than this particular one. who have not been cited for removal and who also do equally fine work. It is my opinion that many really good articles today started their Wiki life looking really awful. This one being 3/4th of the way to where it needs to be to be in good form. If not knowing about a subject were a good reason for deletion, we would be left with really few if any articles. To me the article on the Association for research into Crimes against Art should be allowed to stay on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kittyroseandtheart ( talk • contribs ) 16:10, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Considering this user has never edited before today and the singular other edit is related to art forgery I assume there is a COI involved in this user's statement. Send some of those 20 references that fulfill the requirements, then. PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 16:36, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I have multiple degrees in art history and am interested in this field I have no COI. I simply started with simple things, articles on subjects I have an interest in and feel confident. If I had edited only one article on high speed trains, would you discount my opinion because I have never edited on art before? I don't think any new editor starts out editing by choosing a subject they are not interested in. I may be new to editing but not to the subject of crimes and criminals in the art world which is why I took an interest in this page, and when I saw it was up for possible deletion, I wanted to give input. Before voicing my opinion though, I spent time reading the entire article itself before making suggestions for improvements and also verified the links in this discussion and many of the others linked in the article which were available to me. (as I already stated). I will close with saying I understand, Wikipedia encourages editors to: Please do not bite the newcomers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers So thanks for making this newcomer feel genuinely (un)welcome.

(I would have endorsed a merge to List of newspapers in Bangladesh , but for some unfortunate reason that list appears to be restricted to bluelinks, so is not a viable merge target.) I am grateful for M.parvage's source assessment, but I would have to join ResonantDistortion in disagreeing with the assessment of Source 2, which indeed seems to be quite in-depth and appears to be reliable and independent. There isn't as much to work with here as one would like (perhaps there are more sources in Bengali?), but this does appear to probably meet at least WP:NMEDIA#Newspapers, magazines and journals . (That's one of two dueling essays on the subject; I think a close reading of NNEWSPAPER will show that that essay's standard is not met, if it matters.) At any rate, in my opinion, newspapers belong in a similar bucket to populated places, in that they represent a kind of encyclopedic background knowledge that warrants tipping the scales toward inclusion even when the sources available are (as they seem to be here) a bit sparse, because even a sparse article provides important value to readers and editors. (I am fond of the term "ecosystem services" for the added value that such articles provide in the overall web of coverage.) In addition, subject to the limitations of WP:V , I think it is also worth tipping the scales against cavalier deletions that aggravate Wikipedia's problems with systemic bias. All that said, there are two things that give me pause: (1) it seems difficult, at scale, to confidently separate citations for The Business Standard from citations for the Business Standard , and (2) this newspaper is not mentioned in List of newspapers in Bangladesh , which seems peculiar but may be due to the newspaper's fairly recent founding (possibly 2018?). -- Visviva ( talk ) 05:29, 24 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I've expanded the article with another academic source that contains significant analysis of the newspaper.

Naked Capitalism: Of the fourteen cited sources: four ([10]-[13]) are interviews with the website's creator; two ([1] and [6]) are About pages from the website; two are posts on the website itself ([8] and [14]); one ([7]) is a self-published blog post by one of the website's contributors; and one ([5]) is a post on another website by the website's creator. This leaves four reliable secondary sources , two of which only briefly mention Naked Capitalism in passing as recommendations, and the other two of which are short biographical stubs about the website's creator, without more than a passing reference to the website. One thing that becomes immediately clear upon going through these sources is that they lack significant coverage of the website - often only briefly mentioning the website as a product of its creator, without any further detail. There seems to be more information about the website's creator than the website itself, so if no more significant coverage from reliable sources can be found, maybe a short stub about her could be salvaged from this. But in its current state, I don't think this article meets GNG and as such, am recommending it for deletion.

Oaktree b ( talk ) 17:41, 17 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Oaktree b I should mention that the article in the Risk journal mentions that it is based on a piece in the journal Credit , a sister publication; this runs to three pages. People can have a look; it is available on ProQuest via the WP:Library . The Financial Times interview article (1,750 words) actually was one of a series about the blog (final instalment here . Even the TIME listing is over 200 words. There are brief endorsements in the New York Times like this one . I can have a further look around, but even just with those I would have thought GNG is well met. The one thing that does make things difficult is that Smith has written so many news articles that it's hard to find stuff about her and her blog in Google News. A lot of the hits are links to articles by her , with the author info mentioning the blog. (Note that Yves Smith – a pun on Adam Smith – redirects to Naked Capitalism .) Andreas JN 466 19:49, 17 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Honestly these sources just confirm to me that, if this article is to exist, it should be about Yves Smith. None of these sources refer to Naked Capitalism as anything other than Smith's blog. It isn't clearly independently notable from her, although she is clearly a notable figure herself. -- Grnrchst ( talk ) 10:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] As I see it, the sources are primarily about the blog. Take the TIME and CNBC listings, or the Financial Times interview, which is all about the blog, or the Institutional Investor piece. It's the blog that makes Smith notable, not Smith that makes the blog notable. Andreas JN 466 11:11, 18 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Move to Susan Webber (blogger) and keep at that title. BD2412 T 18:06, 22 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ BD2412 The problem with that solution is that even though Naked Capitalism was started by Webber (a.k.a. Yves Smith), and she remains the most high-profile contributor, it is a group blog and is indexed as such here for example by EconAcademics.org (a site hosted by the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis .) A past version of the article included a bunch of contributing writers (another editor deleted them because they were unsourced). Some of those contributors have been referred to or had their NC posts republished by third-party sources; e.g. Matt Stoller here , David Dayen (see [9] , Alternet running a piece previously published on NC , also cf. [10] ), Philip Pilkington ( [11] [12] ), Nathan Tankus ( [13] ), Jerri-Lynn Scofield [14] etc. So I think the solution is to bring the contributing writers back into the article, with references, and make clear to the reader that it is a group blog. (Indeed, if you look at https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/ today or its archives , posts by Smith are in the minority.) So could I ask you to give it another thought? Best, Andreas JN 466 14:17, 23 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] My impression is that the most notable aspect of the blog is its founder, and everything we currently have about it can fit in a section of an article on its found, with a redirect tagged with {{ R with possibilities }} .

Thanks, The Herald (Benison) ( talk ) 21:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The nominator refers to Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents where that states: "it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting." Next to that the nominator wrongly states that the essay states "in general, military aircraft incidents are not notable". The essay itself states "Accidents involving light aircraft and military aircraft are mostly non-prominent." Most of the military accidents that happens regulary are carrying 1 or a few crew members. This accident killed 24 people, including 13 passengers. So (as example) in my opition it's about the same notability as the previous month 2024 Ivanovo Ilyushin Il-76 crash : a militairy airplane that crashed (15 peoeple were killed including passengers were killed). An investigaion has been done into the cause of the crash and advice was given to prevent a similar accident. There were multiple aspects on several levels (from the pilots, to the air traffic control, to aircraft weight inspector/approver to airplane map designer) that contributed to this crash including: The 337 metres high hill was not indicated on the map of the pilots The aircraft was overloaded Air traffic control was not checking the location of the aircraft after take-off A SOS signal went off but was ignored That makes that the accidents meets all the aspects of WP:Event But the article should be renamed: The current title of "RA-78804" is the registration number of the aircraft. According to the standards, the article should be moved to: 1996 Abakan Ilyushin IL-76 crash . 82.174.61.58 ( talk ) 12:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Bill Freyer: The article fails both WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT . There are no references and the two external links are stat sites. The one note leads to a book entitled "The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers: every AFL/VFL player since 1897", which seems pretty useless for notability and remarkably similar to the aforementioned stat sites.

SportingFlyer T · C 11:28, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I've expanded the article with many sources from Trove, an Australian newspaper archive. Some are passing mentions but there's enough to clear GNG – I would single out these pieces [65] [66] [67] [68] if we're looking for the best . I'm not really convinced the nominator did his due diligence here. When you're evaluating notability, it's not enough to look merely at the sources currently in the article. You have to thoroughly search where sources are likely to exist. And even though NAFL has been demoted from guideline status and no longer grants presumed notability, it remains a useful rule of thumb for when you should take more care to see what coverage is out there. – Tera tix ₵ 22:02, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Many SNGs were problematic, but NAFL is pretty spot on - if you played in the AFL/VFL, you are almost certainly wiki-notable, because sources will cover you.

Apart from the New York Times coverage that the nominator appears to be trying to dismiss above, the article also already cites WP:SIGCOV from a RS (a book published by PublicAffairs ). Together with the SIGCOV listed by Thriley above, this handily satisfies WP:GNG . (Reason and Playboy are green-rated RS, see WP:RSP#Reason and WP:RSP#Playboy . As for the BI article, I am not quite sure if it falls into the site's green-rated culture part or the yellow-rated remainder , but in any case the author seems to be a seasoned media reporter. By the way, there was also a separate Reason article with more journalistic content in addition to the interview.) Lastly, the nominator's insinuation that the article's subject lacks a substantial audience size as a writer except for a viral post or two is factually dubious (this is only a crude indicator of notability , but I thought it worth correcting since it was brought up as an argument for deletion above).

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:05, 8 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete as TOOSOON - coverage is not the sort of biographical coverage we would need to properly support a WP:BLP . What little coverage we have here was scraped together from the barest coverage we could find. Google News overwhelmingly shows trashy tabloid coverage of the woman who doesn't shower. HaeB hammers on the NYT coverage, but we don't give people a Wikipedia article for having a single paragraph in one NYT story - that's the quintessence of a passing mention. As discussed on the talk page, the Auerbach book coverage is a single paragraph and a quote - it's a mention in passing, not BLP writing about Aella. This is what a BLP looks like when the original author is a huge fan and can't find any actual RSes once their tabloid coverage has been removed (see history, and see their spirited talk page defense of using the New York Post on a BLP). It is possible Aella will do something genuinely noteworthy at some point, but at absolute best this is a WP:TOOSOON - David Gerard ( talk ) 23:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Curious about your definition of "hammering"; evidently it differs from wikt:hammer#Verb (I hadn't commented about that New York Times coverage before). Nobody argued that we should give people a Wikipedia article for having a single paragraph in one NYT story alone, that's a strawman. And your delete ! vote fails to address or even just acknowledge the other RS coverage that has been cited in favor of notability. WP:SIGCOV isn't about length, but describes coverage that is more than a trivial mention, but [...] does not need to be the main topic of the source material. The David Auerbach quote in the article summarizes an extensive body of work by the article subject in one area, it is not a "trivial mention" at all. This is what a BLP looks like when the original author is a huge fan - I'm not saying that fan-created articles aren't a problem in general, but in this case the insinuation that Iljhgtn created the article because they are a "huge fan" seems rather unsubstantiated . (Yes, they were mistaken about the suitability of the NY Post as BLP source. But that's water under the bridge now - that citation was removed months ago.) Regards, HaeB ( talk ) 19:44, 9 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete as TOOSOON This page gets a lot of views, yes, but that doesn't mean that she is notable, it means that this wiki article happens to be the first result when you google "Aella" and she has a lot of fans. But if you do google her, the results are almost nothing but her own blog posts and one or two articles. Deciding if an influencer is "notable" is tricky business, but what sticks out to me is that this article didn't even start out as being about an "influencer" it started out as being about a "data scientist", it was changed to "influencer" after it was ruled she is not in fact a scientist. What she is really is a meme which has been making waves in a small corner of the internet, and until she actually gains some notoriety outside of tweets about the girl who got a birthday gangbang or tabloid articles about the woman who doesn't shower, she is a meme. And generally memes only get Wikipedia articles when they reach a level of notoriety that she has not yet obtained. Jelephant ( talk ) 00:00, 9 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] but what sticks out to me is that this article didn't even start out as being about an "influencer" it started out as being about a "data scientist" , I created this originally and did not really know what I was doing yet to be fair. I have since created over a dozen other articles over time, but this was a earlier one for me to be sure. I changed the disambiguation text from "data scientist" to "influencer" based on new emerging consensus around what to call Aella. I took the "data scientist" term from an article or podcast or video that she was in that I first saw or read that made me want to write this article in the first place. I was surprised that she did not have one. Anyway, just wanted to address that one point. Iljhgtn ( talk ) 01:01, 9 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] RS coverage outside of tweets has been amply demonstrated at this point. Let's stick arguments based on Wikipedia policies, instead of personal theories about memes and waves .

Hyperbolick ( talk ) 01:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep -- It is appropriate that this nomination has been formally withdrawn. The subject may have an unusual career and lifestyle, but she is far from lacking in notability. Although the article in its present form is only short, with a small number of references, a google search reveals very quickly that she has been the subject of lengthy interviews/profiles in various publications over several years, eg unHerd, 2020 , Business Insider, 2020 , Reason, 2022 , Mere Orthodoxy, 2023 . There's probably enough content in those interviews/profiles alone to source a "good article", and they don't include the references already cited in the article. In fact, I'd be inclined to expand the article myself using those sources, but I am always reluctant to do any editing of an article that - fairly or unfairly - is the subject of a not-yet-closed deletion discussion. Bahnfrend ( talk ) 08:17, 9 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] "Mere Orthodoxy exists to create media for Christian renewal" - I'm not entirely convinced this is a Wikipedia-quality RS for notability - David Gerard ( talk ) 10:51, 9 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ David Gerard : You've quoted a top of page slogan that is being used to solicit donations. So what? Similar Jimbo Wales slogans appear at the top of Wikipedia articles from time to time. A quick look at Mere Orthodoxy's Editorial Board page indicates that the source appears to have the editorial setup characteristic of reliable sources. You might not agree with the source's editorial stance, but even if that is so, it wouldn't necessarily make the source unreliable. I don't agree with the editorial stances of ABC News (Australia) or The Guardian , but I often use both of them as reliable sources. And the Mere Orthodoxy article I linked makes some interesting comments about the subject of the Wikipedia article that might be worthy of inclusion in the latter article, as sourced commentary about the subject rather than as merely factual material.

Meets GNG with significant coverage in multiple RSes, including GQ , Playboy , Reason , and Business Insider . gobonobo + c 21:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - Significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources has not been demonstrated, and this clearly is TOOSOON or else not notable. Content with the draftify suggestion if that will achieve a consensus, but any improved article in draft space needs to address the location and use of suitable secondary sources. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 14:53, 20 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This kind of WP:JNN ! vote isn't very useful. Above, several commenters have observed that the GNG is, in fact, satisfied, and discussed in detail how this has been demonstrated at this point, by examining undisputedly non-trivial coverage in at least three reliable secondary sources (plus coverage in two other RS that at least some of us think is significant, too). Simply asserting the opposite without addressing these arguments at all is the kind of thing that WP:ATA asks us to avoid, so it would be helpful to substantiate your opposing claims. Is it because you disagree with the current community consensus that the aforementioned sources are "generally reliable", as documented at WP:RSP ? Regards, HaeB ( talk ) 22:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Sources have to contain significant coverage, not just trivial mentions. Most of these do not. They have to be independent. That rules out the interviews. They have to be reliable, so there go the tabloids, and they have to be secondary. Which sources meet all these criteria? Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 01:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Again, please be more specific with your objections. E.g. which of the sources provided above in favor of notability do you consider to be tabloids ? To help you get started with substantiating your claims, how about explaining them in case of the GQ article? It is independent , not an interview , and secondary. So we have assume you consider GQ to be a tabloid, in contrast to WP:RSP : There is strong consensus that GQ, including its international editions, is generally reliable. It is noted by editors for having quality editorial oversight for non-contentious topics. In that case I think it would be more productive for you to first start a discussion at WP:RSN and see if you can change the current community consensus about this source towards your opinion.

Talk! 22:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] In light of the fact that the article now cites WP:SUSTAINED SIGCOV in several RS dating back to 2017 (not even counting the NYT article and the PublicAffairs book as the two 2023 citations whose SIGCOV status was disputed by one editor above), I consider the TOOSOON claims refuted and do not think that draftifying would be an acceptable outcome. Regards, HaeB ( talk ) 02:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep – We have profiles in GQ and Playboy, and more, both perfectly relevant RS that has WP:SIGCOV of this subject. There is more like NYT that arguably falls short of significant coverage, so I really do not think this is WP:TOOSOON , as we have coverage over half a decade. TLA tlak 15:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment – I advise editors advocating for delete due to "blog" and less-reliable sources popping up on GNEWS to look a bit deeper, as some of the better sources come from several years ago. Look as well in other languages like Spanish.

Geekom: Almost all the coverage is product reviews in technology/computer press. Would need more third party coverage like major newspapers to meet WP:CORP . LibStar ( talk ) 04:15, 4 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies , Products , Computing , and Taiwan . – Laundry Pizza 03 ( d c̄ ) 04:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Perhaps I should not comment as I had a brief email exchange with a Geekom employee and thus a conflict of interest . I am willing to accept that I misjudged the article-worthiness of Geekom. They are , however, one of the largest producers of a niche market, which is why I considered and eventually undertook a request to make the article. If the majority of the participants in this discussion agree that Geekom does not yet have enough coverage to warrant its own article, then I propose a redirect to nettop instead. I would argue that the company has enough relevance in its own niche to warrant a mention the article of its niche (nettop). Admittedly, the nettop article itself is also poorly sourced, but I am willing to work on and transform that article while sticking to scholarly and major news sources. I acknowledge that my conflict of interest may affect the consideration of my comment by other contributors, but I believe that I should at least say something since I was responsible for this article's creation in the first place. Yue 🌙 06:57, 4 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikipedia:Conflict of interest says: Conflict of interest ( COI ) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest . If the extent of your interactions with the employee was to request permission to upload File:GEEKOM Mini IT8.jpg , File:GEEKOM Mini IT11.jpg , and File:GEEKOM BookFun 11.jpg , I don't consider having "a brief email exchange with a Geekom employee" to cause you to have a conflict of interest about the company. If you have a deeper relationship with the company ("yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships"), then you have a conflict of interest. Otherwise, I think you do not have a conflict of interest. By the way, per Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials#Granting us permission to copy material already online , I recommend sending an email to [email protected] documenting the permission you received for the photos. Without documentation, the photos could be deleted as lacking proof that they were released under a free license.

The International Rugby League has made it official that the 2026 Rugby League World Cup is a separate event so it wouldn't make any sense from a reader search point of view to move the material on the 2025 page to the 2026 page if people are specifically searching for 2025 information. In addition, there is the possibility that if this information was included on the 2026 page, it may detract from the 2026 page itself. However if the information could be successfully intergrated, I would Support a redirect to a subsection on the 2026 Rugby League World Cup page.

In contrast to the postponement of 2021 event, 2025 can be seen as separate from the 2026 world cup so merging it to the 2026 article does not seem the best option - that article will eventually become much larger and so would likely lead to issues over whether to remove or re-split the 2025 content.

Typical article for a notable London street, based on its history, buildings and residents. How else should we organise such information? Edwardx ( talk ) 12:10, 19 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The buildings in it and the people who lived there are the proper content of the article together with other ancillary information such as locality, ambience etc. Other articles then give a more detailed treatment of buildings and residents as necessary if separately notable. I think we would have almost no street articles if we restricted them to streets that have an in-depth discussion of the street as a whole without mentioning any specific buildings or people. Philafrenzy ( talk ) 12:48, 19 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, because most city streets are not notable. You don't see this proliferation of city streets anywhere else on this site except London. Why is that? -- Rs chen 7754 14:56, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Because its history dates back to the Romans and there are a wealth of sources to draw on. London is not over-represented it is the streets of other cities that are under-represented. Philafrenzy ( talk ) 20:03, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is the English-language Wikipedia, so cities in English mother tongue countries will of course have more articles. New York City is the only other such city with a similiarly large population, but that only in relatively recent times (in 1800, London was already over 1 million, NYC a mere 60,000). And NYC is a much newer city; and mostly built on a grid, so has far fewer streets. Edwardx ( talk ) 20:22, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . plenty of historical info supported by references.

What about WP:SIGCOV ? -- Rs chen 7754 14:55, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as per Edwardx and the creator of the article who is well known for creating notable articles... many London streets are well documented and have deep histories with regards to the buildings there and who lived there...it makes a better encyclopedia by including them. Whispyhistory ( talk ) 19:33, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep As creator, I am dismayed to see so many notable British streets nominated by Rschen7754. Each has a unique history created by the structures built upon them and the people who lived there. A field in England could pass unremarked for thousands of years, then a hoard is dropped and a battle fought, a manor house built and a road run through it. The streets are the people, and the many references attest to that. No Swan So Fine ( talk ) 07:53, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . I see where Reschen7754 is coming from. Beaufort Street itself seems not notable under the WP:GNG as there needs to be indepth coverage of the street itself and not one of the article's references has this (nor have I found any). However, I disagree with the part of the nomination that seems to suggest notable buildings on the street do not contribute to notability of the street. I would think that having a series of notable buildings on a street would help to establish notability of the street, as buildings are inherently part of a street. However, here there's only the now demolished Beaufort House which precedes the street's laying out and the one listed building, which I don't think is enough. Notable people who have a connection with the street do not make the street notable as Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features) states Geographical features must be notable on their own merits. They cannot inherit the notability of organizations, people, or events. I've no wish to delete the article as it has encyclopedic merit on the history of the street, nor do I see a suitable merge target. Rupples ( talk ) 05:56, 23 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The problem is that most of those buildings already have their own articles. Rs chen 7754 16:08, 24 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm guessing you see this article as unnecessary duplication of content and view it as a WP:REDUNDANTFORK ? Don't want to misrepresent you, just trying to gain an understanding, so do correct me if I'm wrong. Rupples ( talk ) 16:43, 24 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sort of. You remove the redundant content and I'm not sure that you have an article after that. One shouldn't be able to use the sources for the building to also make the road notable. Rs chen 7754 20:21, 24 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That is fundamentally wrong. It's not an article about a road , it's an article about a street . Absolutely details of the residents and the buildings are the proper sources for an article about a street. If we didn't include those, there would be no street articles at all, which is perhaps what Rschen7754 would prefer. What does Rschen7754 propose, that a street or road article should restrict itself to where it starts and ends and the quality of the tarmacadam?

GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk ) 00:07, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ GoldenBootWizard276 : "I cannot find any examples of the term being used outside of the academic paper." Did you look? I find only 8,600 Ghits for the paper, but 67,600 Ghits for the term. See my ! vote below. Clearly the term is in common use. It's why I moved the article to its current location in the first place. Skyerise ( talk ) 10:41, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] see comment below. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk ) 13:16, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and move to "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots" Firstly, the term that originated in this highly influential paper is now widely used in WP:RS discussion of LLMs, as a simple web search will show. Secondly, the paper itself is the subhject of widespread commentary (see search cited). Thirdly, it's not just the paper; the sudden exit under disputed circumstances from Google of two of the paper's authors is an affair in itself. All of the above have been extensively reported and commented on in mainstream media. Putting all these together, this clearly passes WP:GNG . Finally; the last point in the deletion proposal is specious; we do indeed have articles on sufficiently notable academic papers; why, we even have Category:Computer science papers to put this one in.

GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk ) 07:57, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment I think it would be notable if there were an article on the academic paper the term originated from, "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?", instead of the article on the term itself. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk ) 07:57, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment I would be very happy to have the article moved to that title, which was the original title of the article.

"Stochastic parrots": 67,600 results , "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?": 8,620 results . The term is already (!) in wide use is places that don't refer to the paper. Skyerise ( talk ) 10:34, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Skyerise : The number of search results is not an establishment of notability. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk ) 13:16, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ GoldenBootWizard276 : I don't consider the notability in question. My observation is intended to establish the WP:COMMONNAME by which to title the article. The use of the term is more widespread than mentions of the article. You've already conceded that the paper is notable (though without changing your !vote). I've demonstrated that the term is independently notable, so you should change your ! vote to either 'keep' or 'keep and move'. Skyerise ( talk ) 15:52, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Skyerise : Most of the examples I have found of the term being used outside of academic papers are about the paper itself. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk ) 16:57, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Even if most of the uses of the term are in machine learning papers, and even if most of those uses cite the article, that doesn't negate the notability of the term.

Randy Kryn ( talk ) 15:39, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Nuance - Keep short description of TERM - Delete paper whose only notability comes from authors leaving Google, NOT content of the paper itself as being seen as notable or new in the field, of which the former info is sufficiently covered in the articles on its authors. --- Avatar317 (talk) 18:04, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Avatar317 : ( Personal attack removed ) There are multiple mainstream news sources specifically about the paper. Both the term and the paper are notable. The term derives from the paper, and the paper title can only be redirected to one place, not to three different author pages! The idea that the source in which a term originated can be excised from the article about the term is ridiculous. I can no longer take you seriously. Have a nice day. Skyerise ( talk ) 18:17, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Care to name which "multiple mainstream sources" you are claiming exist? We currently have two: Maybe you should read their titles: MIT: " We read the paper that forced Timnit Gebru out of Google . Here’s what it says." and Verge: " Timnit Gebru’s actual paper may explain why Google ejected her ". You still have no sources which say that this paper is notable for its research. --- Avatar317 (talk) 19:42, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Avatar317 : Eleven listed sources (and four further reading examples which use the term outside of machine-learning literature) and you WP:CHERRYPICK two – to make an argument which seems to change each time you comment? Stop wasting our time. Are you still arguing that the paper is more notable than the term, or vice versa? I can't tell. Skyerise ( talk ) 19:54, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] My point is that the TERM is notable (and the origin of the term can of course be used) but that the PAPER is NOT, and therefore THE **FOCUS** OF THE ARTICLE SHOULD BE THE TERM. But the article was created in the name of the PAPER, and you have argued that BOTH are notable INDEPENDENTLY, which is what I have been disagreeing with. --- Avatar317 (talk) 21:22, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Avatar317 : Great, then there is no problem! The focus of the article is already the term, it's already at the proper title, and this is not redirects for discussion . You've effectively withdrawn your nomination, and you should do so formally below. Skyerise ( talk ) 21:28, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There is too much article content about the PAPER; YOU haven't removed that, (and I feel that you'd revert me if I did) and The Anome seems to feel that the PAPER is notable, and should therefore be a big part of the article. We can discuss the notability of the PAPER here also, so that if The Anome starts another article like they started this one (or undoes your move on this one) we won't have to re-do this same discussion. --- Avatar317 (talk) 21:36, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Avatar317 : This is not the venue for a content discussion (See Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup ). Only the main subject of an article need be notable, and you've conceded that it (the term) is notable. The rest of article content merely has to be supported by reliable sources. Skyerise ( talk ) 22:56, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Avatar317 and Skyerise : I think both of you should consider toning it down a notch; typing in ALL CAPS on the INTERNET tends to come across as SCREAMING at the other person, and there is basically no situation in which "Are you nuts?" is an acceptable comment to direct at someone else in a deletion discussion :( jp × g 00:10, 14 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Avatar317 : I agree with Skyerise on this except that the term should be a redirect to the paper, not the other way around.

Skyerise ( talk ) 20:02, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] My issue since I added the notability tag has always been that this article is TWO articles; it started as user:The Anome created it as an article about the PAPER, and you HALF-morphed it into a paper about the TERM. --- Avatar317 (talk) 21:24, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Avatar317 : Again, someone else created the article. I researched it and came to the conclusion (as you seem to have), that the term is more notable and in wider use, and so moved the article and started to work on refocusing the article. However, the paper has to be discussed in the article; it has gotten many academic responses. And even if the paper isn't notable, which I dispute, there is no requirement that a redirected title be notable in and of itself. A redirect is to help people find information on a topic, not an assertion of notability. In any case, if you no longer think the article should be deleted, you should withdraw your nomination. This is not the venue to resolve article content issues, only whether to delete the article. Article content issues are resolved on the article talk page . Skyerise ( talk ) 21:35, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The problem is that you essentially created a totally new article on a different topic ON TOP OF an already existing article.

That could be viewed as running afoul of WP:CANVASS , especially since you've conceded that the term is notable and have acknowledged that you are now trying to influence article content decisions. Skyerise ( talk ) 23:04, 13 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Not to interject myself into an ongoing AfD beef, but isn't "influence article content decisions" the primary thing that Wikipedia editors are on this website to do? jp × g 00:06, 14 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to Emily M. Bender or Timnit Gebru . There are eleven listed sources, but these do not look to me like WP:SIGCOV that define a separately notable topic from that of the authors individually. Ref 1 seems to be a passing mention: the main quote is "A useful way of thinking about the limitations of data in machine learning then is in terms of a stochastic parrot, a phrase introduced by Bender et al. (2021)" but this is in a section that cites about a dozen papers. I am not sure about ref 2; Towards AI is a Medium-based website that calls itself a "content platform". I don't think that they are prima facie unreliable (I read a few articles and none of them seem to be overtly wrong about anything) but it's not clear whether this counts as SIGCOV. Ref 4 is the paper itself, and I have no idea what ref 5 is (it appears to be a link to a Google Scholar search results page for Bender). 6 is a dictionary definition of "stochastic" unrelated to the subject. 7, 8, and 9 seem borderline (they are mostly about Gebru's firing, and mention the paper in conjunction with this event as it seems to be the major factor). 10 is a YouTube video of one of the authors presenting the paper, which seems to be basically the same thing as refs 3 and 4, and 11 is mostly about GPT-4 and mentions the paper as one of several criticisms. I hate to use the term " refbombing ", because it imputes ill intent to the writer of an article, and I don't think that is the case here (the purpose of citations is to reference the content of an article, not to serve as ammunition for 'keep' !votes) but I think that this is a case where the volume of references makes it seem like there is a lot more going on than there actually is. jp × g 00:03, 14 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , maybe move if really necessary although I think the popularity of the term makes it more notable than the paper title. // Gargaj ( talk ) 11:23, 15 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per above discussion.

Giant Snowman 16:18, 23 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Henderson, Bruce (23 March 1978). "Maple Leaf rated highly". Ottawa Journal. p.29. - It goes more in-depth about the individual's coaching achievements and his team recruitment. Henderson, Bruce (26 May 1978). "All systems are go for Ottawa-Carleton". Ottawa Journal. p.20. - Talks about his successful team recruitment "Former Wizards coach returns". Ottawa Citizen. 11 September 2003. pp. B7. - an article that announces his hiring and a summary of his coaching achievements "St. Anthony's soccer star shrugs off success". Ottawa Citizen. 4 September 1973. p. 31. - an article covering the individual and the impact he has made Starnes, Richard (17 June 2011). "The secret deal is no longer secret".

Courthouse in Września: I've started an AfD on pl wiki ( pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/artykuły/2023:10:24:Gmach sądu we Wrześni ). My BEFORE does not suggest this effectively unreferenced building (our article links to a photo, pl links to the Couthouse page) is notable or has a status of a heritage monument (note: it is next to a prison building that has such a status, but that building does not yet have an article on pl or en, so no merger is possible). While it is good to monitor the pl wiki discussion for possible keep arguments, I think we should discuss things here as well. (A note for clarity: pl wiki article is about the building, not the court; our article is a substub that doesn't even make its focus clear, but I don't think local courts at that level are inherently notable, either. FYI the building hosts a local district court (Poland) office).

Why Men Marry Bitches: However, I only found one other review, which was from a questionable source. The author did go on the Today Show to discuss the book, but I think that has more to do with the first book, Why Men Love Bitches , than the notability of this book. I feel like notability of this book is on the line. Significa liberdade (she/her) ( talk ) 00:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : the book received fairly wide coverage in the news.

As such, we are looking for reliable, independent sources that provide significant coverage of the book. Here's an analysis of the sources you provided: Today Show: Why men marry strong women : Interviews with the author are not independent and thus, don't count toward notability Today Show: Want a man to propose? 5 relationship principles to keep in mind : An excerpt from the book is not independent from the source and thus, doesn't count toward notability Nation: Bookiscape Book Club : Provides one paragraph discussing a book club response to the book. This does not provide significant coverage and thus, doesn't count toward notability. Panorama: 3 libri per riconoscere 'lo stronzo' (ma anche 'la stronza') che hai di fronte (in Italian): I'd say this is questionable. It provides a multi-paragraph summary of the text. The Times: Why Men Love Bitches: the retro relationship bible that Gen Z can't get enough of : Again, this article is based on subscription, so I can't tell if it actually mentions this book, but I'll AGF. However, based on the description, it seems to be written from an interview with the author, which may mean it's not independent. The Times of India: Why men love 'bitches' : Provides a summary of key points discussed in the text, though it's unclear whether the article is about this book or Why Men Love Bitches . Babinet: Knížka: Proč si muži berou potvory a hodné holky zůstanou na ocet (in Czech): This source provides a review of the book. It has significant coverage and is independent. Because I'm not familiar with Czech or Czech sources, I can't determine the reliability of this source. Newsweek: The Author of 2002's 'Why Men Love Bi**hes' Is Heartwarmed By All the TikTok Attention : This source still doesn't provide significant coverage about this book (see my earlier comment). The Sydney Morning Herald: 10 things I learnt about men this summer : This source doesn't provide significant coverage of the book. EID&A: A dicotomia razão e emoção na obra Por que os homens se casam com as mulheres poderosas? Uma breve análise do tratamento dado às emoções femininas (in Portuguese): This source was provided earlier and is currently listed on the article. It's a good source, though. Kobieta: Dziesięć dowodów na to, że marnujesz z nim swój cenny czas (in Polish): Provides an excerpt of the book, which doesn't count as independent. siechnice.com.pl: Prezenty walentynkowe - ostatnia chwila! (in Polish): This source doesn't mention Argov at all... Стерва выходит замуж: 20 принципов отношений (in Russian): This provides a quick overview of the first 20 principles, which I would argue (again) doesn't count toward establishing notability. If you disagree with any of my reasoning, please feel free to reply. Significa liberdade (she/her) ( talk ) 13:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . A lot of sources provided here do not actually support notability, as Significa liberdade very helpfully outlines. However, WP:NBOOK only requires two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include ... reviews. I'm happy to take Library Journal [48] and Maclean's [49] as the two independent, non-trivial reviews. In future I advise the IP editor(s) here to focus more on policy and quality, rather than quantity: all these interviews, excerpts, and TV appearances are a distraction. ~ L 🌸 ( talk ) 23:34, 14 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : certainly enough to support having an article. whether its better for readers to have one article discussing the books and the author is a separate inquiry. -- Milowent • has spoken 19:14, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep: Subject meets WP:NBOOK and the WP:GNG .

Chris Matthew Sciabarra: Most sources that focus on Sciabarra in this article were written by Sciabarra himself and are thus not WP:INDEPENDENT , the other good sources are all about his book Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical .

2024 Sakhir Formula 3 round: Sources consists of almost entirely of WP:PRIMARY . Additionally, Wikipedia is not a sportsheet for the most ardent of fans ( WP:NOTSTATS ), whom anything less than first tier formula classes appeals to. WP:AFD will be a redirect or merge to 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship (edit) and 2024 FIA Formula 2 Championship .

Shellwood ( talk ) 20:02, 30 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep all - It's standard practice to routinely split out individual races from their parent (season) article. This keeps the parent article (in this case 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship ) readable. Your suggestion to merge, while also being a full admittance that there is notable content here, would cause the parent article to be far too cluttered. WP:SIZESPLIT and WP:NOMERGE once again apply here. "...whom anything less than first tier formula classes appeals to." That is your personal opinion and one which quite obviously has a lot of disagreement. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 23:21, 30 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Furthermore, suggesting 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship as an ATD for the F2 races you bundled in is pure nonsense. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 23:24, 30 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] What about WP:NOTSTATS ? 5225 C ( talk • contributions ) 05:52, 1 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] "Where statistics are so lengthy as to impede the readability of the article, the statistics can be split into a separate article and summarized in the main article.

This language seems to support the splitting of these individual races. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 07:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I wouldn't have minded them to exist if reliable third party sources exists to back them up, but no, we get sources consisting of mainly WP:PRIMARY or nothing and do we need an WP:INDISCRIMINATE amount of sports results to clutter Wikipedia with, especially those the most ardent minority of nerds bother with. There's always a home for them in Fandom. Nothing wrong with that site, though. People should think before shoving junk into Wikipedia. SpacedFarmer ( talk ) 14:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] But you're not understanding that these are not standalone articles; their notability is established through sources which exist in the main article including Formula Scout and Autosport .

Personal attacks like calling people "nerds" and calling their efforts "junk" are part of what got you sent to ANI before. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 15:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Wow, such snowflakes like the modern times, getting upset by words like 'nerds', I thought nerds like being called nerds. I was a car nerd at one time and am not ashamed of that label. I call 'efforts' like this junk because people write crap. Worse is that there is no source. Is this the standards Wikipedia is heading to? "their notability is established through sources which exist in the main article including Formula Scout and Autosport" ...and not much else as checked WP:BEFORE . So 3 sources make a subject notable per WP:SIGCOV . SpacedFarmer ( talk ) 19:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The statistics "split off" (they weren't split, these article were created separately) are not actually significant. The only significant results of feeder series are the championship results, which are already included on the relevant season article. 5225 C ( talk • contributions ) 00:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] "(they weren't split, ...)" - Yes they were; the initial versions of these pages were redirects to the main article created by MaxLikesStuff , created out of WP:REDLINKS at the redirect target. Radioactive39 then converted these redirects into sub-articles in order to add content rather than add it to the main article and clutter it up. The stats in these sub-articles are summarized in the main article. There is nothing in NOTSTATS which indicates that these sub-articles are in violation of it. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 04:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Saudi Arabia , France , Italy , Spain , and Australia . ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 23:23, 30 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Formula One is the top tier of the sport and one of the (if not the single) most prestigious category in motorsport as a whole. The F1 equivalent pages to the ones included in this nomination, using this article as an example , contain little more additional information. Reading WP:NOTSTATS , the only thing these pages are missing is a little more summarised information. The nominated pages display the information in clear, concise tables and they provide information that is not available in the main season articles ( 2024 Formula 2 Championship and 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship ) and add context to the relevant motorsport championship.

CompuTrac: In my opinion, it doesn't merit a standalone article, but it deserves a mention in the Technical analysis article.

List of locomotive classes: E.g. under British Railways and Great Western Railways only 3 or 4 out of dozens are randomly mentioned. The list lacks structure with some of the section listing locomotives by manufacturer and other by operator and random individual locomotive articles. Then there are whole continents that are not even mentioned (Africa) or only given minimal coverage (United States). There are plenty of Locomotive by manufacturer or Locomotive by country lists, combining them into one article that would have thousands of entries is not of much benefit to anyone. Only one cite is provided, that would only cover the Canadian section, but the article doesn’t have one, so effectively the list is uncited.

Yes it needs improvement, but AfD is not cleanup and there is no deadline. I'm not sure what 10mmsocket thinks this is a duplicate of, but the point of split was to reduce duplication. The work to enact that hasn't fully happened yet, but again that's not an AfD matter. Thryduulf ( talk ) 09:06, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment The consensus reached on an AfD on another article doesn’t give a pass for a below par article to exist elsewhere. It appears that as a result of the AfD, that article was improved and the issues moved here. If editors feel that the article can be improved, but not within the timespan of this AfD, they can propose to move it draftspace and then put it forward for publication when done. Wikipedia doesn't have list articles for every football stadium, railway station or school around the world because they would be too large and unweildly. Instead there are more manageable list articles with boundaries, e.g. by city or country, or in the case of locomotives, by builder or operator. If the article does remain it should solely be a list of lists, e.g Locomotives of the Great Western Railway , Locomotives of the London and North Eastern Railway etc, and not a list of individual locomotives as in the New Zealand Railways and Victorian Railways sections, each having 60 locomotives, and by global standards neither are big operators, so their would be even larger lists for others. There are thousands of locomotive classes globally, listing every single one in a list that would go for a mile would be of no real benefit. Hoekiema ( talk ) 23:54, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That does sound like a better idea than making this page endlessly long.

Martin Kennedy (composer): Sources exist , yes, but they're not really very independent : they seem to be from either his employers (past and present) or his publisher.

The organization has 188 hits in Norwegian press during 1970s.

Chris Troutman ( talk ) 21:23, 14 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] hu.Wikipedia has a lot more content and lists a bunch of sources. BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 21:27, 14 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] More content without claim of notability for ANYBIO, but not much more for sources, certainly not enough for GNG. Hu-wiki is a good place for a Hungarian athlete. Why would we replicate that here? Chris Troutman ( talk ) 21:48, 14 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Haven't analyzed all the sources yet, but Hu-wiki is a good place for a Hungarian athlete. Why would we replicate that here? What? Are you saying that we should only have English athletes here and that non-Englishmen are irrelevant to this Wikipedia? BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 22:37, 14 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment and question . I've not previously encountered the argument that the Wikipedia of a person's native language is the "good place" for an article but questioning why we would "replicate" it in En-Wikipedia. It's always been my understanding that, if a person is not notable, they shouldn't have an article on any of our Wikipedias, but if they are notable, they may qualify for an article on En-wikipedia as well. Also not sure I agree that the Hu-wiki article lacks a claim to notability -- it states that Balázs won more than 60 skiing championships and cites a number of sources. Do we have any Hungarian-speaking editors who could examine the sources cited in the Hu-wiki article ( here ) to assess whether they rise to the level of WP:SIGCOV ? Cbl62 ( talk ) 23:04, 14 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I should have said that while the subject is not notable here, perhaps the bar is low enough on hu-wiki. It is easier for hu-wiki to evaluate Hungarian-language sources, which even if translated would still be LOCAL coverage. NOLY requires medaling, which this athlete didn't do. As I don't follow sports I cannot tell if winning these skiing championships are at all significant. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 23:36, 14 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Passing / failing NOLY / NSPORT is wholly irrelevant in modern (i.e. since March 2022 ) times – all that matters is GNG / NBASIC – now, taking a translation of the Hungarian sources I get: Péter Fügedy: 75 years in red and blue, Népszava, 1986.

Vasas Hírek - Monspart Sarolta 70. Those sources are biographical encyclopedias about notable Hungarians – that is not "local" coverage (or are you trying to say all coverage from one's native country is local – because if that's the case, well, you're wrong). BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 00:10, 15 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I just remembered, in addition to the several likely significant books above, there's a paywalled Hungarian newspaper archive (that allows you to see previews) by the name of Arcanum.com – taking a look for their results of "Balázs Éva" síelő (trans. Éva Balázs skier ) there's plenty of coverage listed (111 direct matches) including what seems to be entries providing direct coverage of our subject, e.g. among others, the Who's who has what appears to be at least two pages of coverage (p. 222-223 at least?), there seems to be an article on Balazs in the December 12, 1988 edition of Népsport (years after her career), and Magyar Ifjúság 1973 apparently has a story titled (google trans.) The Hungarian cross-country queen Éva Balázs: A Hungarian world champion – that's almost certainly significant coverage. This has all the appearances of a notable athlete. I'm suggesting Keep . @ Cbl62 and Chris troutman : BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 00:26, 15 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Found a website that provides a quote from one of the books discussing Balazs – it has over 500 words; SIGCOV.

Thanks, ✗ plicit 14:38, 20 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep , otherwise merge as a single paragraph to Banaras_Hindu_University#Student_unions_and_protests . On the one hand, on review of SailingInABathTub's links I get the impression that the subsequent protests at the university are discrete events with distinct motives, rather than a continuous series of protests. That inclines me to think that a list of protests in the university article might be the best way to go. On the other hand, this wasn't a pure flash in the pan. The sources in the article show coverage, some of it quite deep, mostly during the protest but extending over more than a year. Beyond what's in the article, a bit of searching shows repercussions into 2019, as well as international coverage during the protests. And WP:EFFECT is not a sine qua non of notability; it defines a conditional (IF effect of lasting significance THEN likely notable), but has nothing to say about the inverse case. Several of the other sections of NEVENT (breadth, depth and duration of coverage) would nudge at least gently in favor of notability. Overall I think the guidelines by themselves leave us in the may or may not be notable territory of WP:NEVENT point 3, with nothing pushing very strongly in either direction. On the third hand, there is also some continuing coverage of controversy over allegations and counter-allegations about the motivations for the protest into 2018. Untangling all this could be a job, but overall it seems like there probably is sufficient material to build an adequate article here, so I think the best option is to keep and improve the article. But the university article also seems like a good merge target that would make it possible to put different protests into context. -- Visviva ( talk ) 05:41, 22 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Economic history of Azerbaijan: As it stands, it makes more sense to gradually build the "History" section of the Economy of Azerbaijan and create a standalone article if the "History" section in that article becomes large enough to warrant a standalone article.

There's no doubt this subject is notable in and of itself and requires an article - the present status of the article is mostly irrelevant in terms of an AfD discussion. Moreover, there's a difference between a notable topic containing original research (which can be removed) as against an article topic which is original research.

Notable is Chinese BASIC, invented in the early eighties, which permitted within the same program Chinese ideograms, English letters, and abbreviated commands (such as “?” for “PRINT”). Inputting Chinese into a keyboard is something of a science in itself, as elements of ideograms, such as the radical or a geometric element (the shape of a box, for example) of characters related by a complex set of "decomposition rules" have to be mapped out over a QWERTY keyboard. Cangjie is based on the graphological aspect of the characters: each graphical unit is represented by a character component, twenty-four in all, each mapped to a particular letter key on a standard QWERTY keyboard. An additional “difficult character" function is mapped to the X key. " Lee, Jinn-Bao (1982). A Curriculum Model for Computer Literacy in Taiwan (PhD thesis). Texas A&M University .

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, L iz Read! Talk! 23:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Sal2100, the "status" of executive chair of the Economic and Social Research Council probably meets the requirement, among other positions. As for verification, the UKRI ref and others support that. Delete votes which misidentified should be discounted, otherwise perhaps close as no consensus and try again, but in my opinion we should probably just keep as meeting on notability and verifiability. - Indefensible ( talk ) 04:37, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ User:SportingFlyer , your concern is now about verifiability rather than notability (which the subject appears to meet), correct? Primary sources can also be used in some cases, the UKRI ref comes from a British government website and can probably be used to at least verify her status. However there are other traces online which can be used to corroborate the UKRI, for example https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/esrc-chief-executive-and-ukri-innovation-champion-named , https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/economics/research/centres/cage/news/19-09-18-2m_funding_award_recognises_the_centre_for_competitive_advantage_in_the_global_economy_as_a_uk_centre_of_research_excellence/ , https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2019/jan/dementia-projects-improve-peer-support-prevention-and-end-life-care . I think we can safely conclude her position is verified. - Indefensible ( talk ) 17:51, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] No, my main concern is notability. She is clearly not notable per WP:GNG . No secondary sources have covered her in any sort of detail, and the sources you've just posited are not secondary, and she does not have any assumed notability. If there are sources that aren't generated by her organisations or collaborators I haven't found, please let me know. SportingFlyer T · C 17:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Ok, very well. I think she meets on notability per Sal2100 as noted above. - Indefensible ( talk ) 18:19, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Fair enough. I'm not seeing it, but WP:ACADEMIC is really difficult to apply outside the walled garden. Easiest to just look at GNG. SportingFlyer T · C 18:30, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Her position doesn't confer to being notable on its own. Let'srun ( talk ) 02:10, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as the notability aspect is met per Indefensible, and the verifiability aspect is met by reliable sourcing from the UK govt. IAmHuitzilopochtli ( talk ) 17:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I was considering Necrothesp's cite of this , but then considered this as possibly WP:ROUTINE , but after Beccaynr's exploration of wp:NACADEMIC I'm now in favour of keeping. (I changed my mind twice here) Chumpih t 19:29 and 19:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC) , 16:24, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - per WP:NPROF #3, she is an elected Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences [1] , and per WP:NPROF #7, she appears to have a substantial impact outside academia in her academic capacity, e.g. Professor Jennifer Rubin, Executive Chair of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Professor of Public Policy at King’s College London, has been appointed Chief Scientific Adviser and Director General Science, Technology, Analysis, Research and Strategy for the Home Office (UKRI, 2020). Beccaynr ( talk ) 04:39, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Is that an independent source? Chumpih t 06:55, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] According to WP:NACADEMIC , The merits of an article on the academic will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable . For documenting election for NPROF#3 , publications of the electing institution are considered a reliable source ; the source I cited above includes a quote from the president of the electing institution and a link to a pdf listing new fellows (that is not working nor available at the Internet Archive). The NPROF#7 guideline offers examples of how to demonstrate substantial impact, and this discussion seems to help show some of the challenges with one of the typical methods ("frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area") because searches are complicated by Jennifer Rubin the columnist/commentator, and on JSTOR, Jennifer Rubin Grandis. So I suggest her verifiable career outside of academia in her academic capacity seems to help support notability, in addition to the NPROF#3 recognition. However, there is also apparent coverage in Times Higher Education : ESRC chief executive and UKRI ‘innovation champion’ named (2017), but I cannot access this; and with an assist from ProQuest, I also found this Jennifer Rubin quoted in mainstream press: Guardian , 2020. Beccaynr ( talk ) 15:35, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Understood. Thanks very much for this explanation and additional research. I change my stance. (again) Chumpih t 16:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This sort of explanation is exactly why NACADEMIC should be deprecated and replaced with GNG. We wouldn't push together bits and pieces like this for anyone in any other profession. I don't think that will happen any time soon, though. SportingFlyer T · C 16:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] From my view, the recognition from her peers through the election as a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences is similar to other SNGs, such as a "significant award or honor" ( WP:ANYBIO ) or "The person is regarded as an important figure [...] by peers" ( WP:AUTHOR ), and overall, this recognition seems to help show, as noted in the academics section in WP:BIO , how "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources." Beccaynr ( talk ) 17:31, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] But that would imply every fellow is notable, and that's clearly not the case from clicking the wikilink... I disagree with the premise of the academics section, but that's policy. NACADEMIC is just incredibly difficult to apply for someone outside the walled garden...

Elizabeth Salmón: In-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources appears not to exist. Separately, she remains far from passing special criteria at WP:ACADEMIC or WP:POLITICIAN as well. JFHJr ( ㊟ ) 22:47, 17 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Pretty sure her position would meet the requirements of WP:POLITICIAN , but regardless, there's been coverage of her since the appointment of both her and her activities (and North Korea being angry at her findings from her work). For example: Peruvian legal expert set to be new UN rapporteur on North Korean human rights - NK News North Korea COVID rules put pressure on women providing food - U.N. expert - Reuters UN Highlights Abuses Against Women and Girls in North Korea - Human Rights Watch UN special rapporteur Elizabeth Salmón laments lack of information from North Korea - Korea JoongAng Daily New UN special rapporteur makes first visit to Seoul - Korea JoongAng Daily North Korea: UN human rights expert is 'US puppet' - Agence France-Presse UN special rapporteur for N.

Cheers, Last1in ( talk ) 14:39, 30 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep or userfy Disambiguate as there is more to Mongol campaigns in Central Asia than just the summaries of these two campaigns, although they were the largest. The invasion of Cumania, for example. I'm actually in the process of creating some of that content. There is a need for an overarching treatment of how the specific campaigns all relate to each other. More directly to the issue, though, is that a quick search of "Mongol invasion of Central Asia" brings up multiple sources about the topic, not all of them about only the invasion of Khwarezmia. There's even at least two with that exact title. Here's some of the results: [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] . -- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 00:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I've greatly expanded the content to include other operations and campaigns in Central Asia. Should address the SYNTH issues.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 17:43, 2 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I disagree. Your expansions to the article and comments above indicate that you believe a substantial portion of the "invasion of Central Asia" began before the commencement Mongol invasion of Khwarazmia in 1218—this is not supported by any of the sources you have provided: Islam 2016 states "a punitive action against the Kara-Khitai was the prelude to the all-out Mongol invasion of Central Asia in 1218–1219". The campaigns such as the invasion of Cumania are not mentioned in the article entitled "The Mongol Invasion of Central Asia", which is completely devoted to the invasion of Khwarazmia. It is clear that Islam's conception of the "Invasion of Central Asia" is just our article Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire under a different name, and completely unrelated to your conception of there being "more to Mongol campaigns in Central Asia than just the summaries of these two campaigns". Abasov 2008 is an entry from an encylopedia entitled "Historical Atlas Of Central Asia"—as such, many entries include the words "Central Asia" in their titles, but are described on WP under different names. See for instance the entry "The Arab Conquest of Central Asia" (on WP Muslim conquest of Transoxiana ) or "Timur and the Timurid Empire in Central Asia (on WP Timur & Timurid Empire ). Aside from that, it must be noted that Abasov, like Islam, states outright "In 1219, Genghis Khan invaded Central Asia"—again, he does not mention Cumania, or any other campaigns, clearly showing that he is just referring to the invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire. The academics.hamilton.edu source similarly states "The Mongols began their invasion of Central Asia in 1218.. . on a mission of vengeance against the ruler of Khwarezm" I am confused by your citations above to Biran 2009 and a Boundless World History textbook, as neither use the phrase "Invasion of Central Asia". Nevertheless, neither discusses events before 1216. So to summarize, the sources explicitly titled "The Mongol Invasion of Central Asia" only discuss the Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire , while none of the five sources you have provided support the inclusion of sections on the "Destruction of the Merkit–Naiman alliance", the "Submission of the Uyghurs and Karluks", or the "Destruction of the Merkit–Kipchak alliance". As it stands, the article thus contains quite a bit more WP:SYNTH than before. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk ) 18:56, 2 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] what part of the world do those sections I added deal with? Geographic Central Asia. It is not SYNTH to mention campaigns that happened in Central Asia as part of a series of campaigns in Central Asia, especially when the argument in question is that there is nothing else that happened in Central Asia. The five sources above that I mentioned I listed before I created this new content. I did not cite them to support these additions. I added these additions because there are additional battles that happened in Central Asia, when the argument is that there wasn't anything else happening in Central Asia.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 19:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Here are some sources that include what I've added as part of Mongol activity in Central Asia: pages 8-10 , [59] , [60] -- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 19:49, 2 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] the argument in question is that there is nothing else that happened in Central Asia That is not the argument: as written in the deletion nomination above, the article is not in itself notable—sources do not discuss it as an entity, and to combine multiple sections on individually notable campaigns that are not explicitly connected by reliable sources is WP:SYNTH . ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk ) 20:03, 2 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You contended that the new content I added did not belong in this article. That's what I mean about arguing that nothing else occurred in Central Asia. They are explicitly connected, in the source material. One rolled into the next. The early mopping up of Merkit and Naiman opposition directly flowed into the conquest of Qara Khitai because Kuchlug seized the Qara Khitan throne. And then the Mongols were rubbing up against Khwarazm, which led to that conquest. This is reflected in many of the sources. And this source by one of the historians that I cite in the new content that I added explicitly says the preliminary expansion started in 1209.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 00:27, 3 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, events flowing into each other is generally how time works. I don't think this getting anywhere productive, so I'll disengage and let the closer evaluate. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk ) 00:46, 3 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If sources discuss all this happening, it isn't original synthesis. There's sources that include both the conquest of Qara Khitai and Khwarazm in descriptions of the Mongol conquest of Central Asia. And now I've provided sources showing that the other actions in geographic Central Asia are described as occurring in that part of the world, and now I've shown that there's at least one source connecting all of these other actions to the big campaign that was the conquest of Khwarazm. While the article still needs work, the concerns for why it is it is nominated for deletion are addressed. Editors are supposed to do their due diligence first and consult sources before nominating for deletion. I can see why the source material would be difficult to work through, but now it's provided, so the notability concerns don't hold water. And whatever remaining SYNTH concerns there might have been, the Timothy May article I linked to above clears those up. Deletion is not a substitute for cleanup. I'll be happy to clean up this article once I've finished the current project I'm working on. It just so happens through coincidence that my creation of articles related to the Mongol conquest of Siberia happened to also have a lot of pertinence to, and overlap with, the early Central Asian endeavors, so I had material relatively at the ready.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 01:01, 3 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] 3family6 , non-leading question, could you articulate what additional value is contributed to the wiki by the existence of this article as opposed to all its pertinent information (in a future, complete version to your satisfaction) being contained in the other relevant articles? Remsense 留 01:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] What is pertinent to having any over-arching articles about large, inter-related campaigns when we have articles about the constituent campaigns and battles of which they are comprised? We could get even larger - for instance, Anne Broadbridge mentions the "Western Campaign", which is basically everything west and southwest of Mongolia as opposed to the campaign against the Chinese states (note: I'm not saying that in this case we should, but that there's precedent in reliable sources to do so). It's useful for readers (which includes myself) to have articles that are broad summaries that show how a series of specific campaigns are related. Secondly, while some of the content I've added could have its own article, specifically the submission of Uyghur and Karluk states, and the Battle of Chem will have its own article, some of the content I don't think will ever merit its own article. It's more notable in how it relates to these other key events than stand-alone.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 01:33, 3 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The precise meaning of 'campaign' is key here. It may sound like a pedantic point, but is there any notion that the various central Asian campaigns were viewed at the time as being part of a larger 'campaign' as it were? Or is is simply a historiographical construction? I think an article could be viable either way, but it definitely affects what I think the focus and scale of the article should be. Remsense 留 01:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That's a great question. The conquest of Qara Khitai seems to be part of the same campaign as the initial operations in 1209 that followed-up Jochi's Siberian campaign, as it essentially is part of the "mopping up" of opposition factions that date back to the rise of Genghis Khan. And there's some historical speculation that the Uyghurs and Karluks submitted because the Mongols weren't in their territory just to pursue the Merkits. The part that's less clear is if Khwarazm was viewed as part of this. And I that depends on if there was always a plan to invade Khwarazm, and that's debated by historians. So it's a historical construction, but possibly reflective of how the Mongols saw it. After Khwarazm, it seems a lot clearer that the Mongols now saw the entire West as a possession of the imperial family and the respective campaigns were all part of securing that.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 12:49, 3 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] could you articulate what additional value is contributed to the wiki by the existence of this article as opposed to all its pertinent information (in a future, complete version to your satisfaction) being contained in the other relevant articles? Remsense and AirshipJungleman29 , I could see each of the sections I added being turned into an article, if they aren't already, and this article being converted into a reference article such as a dab or list article . I think there's value to having it in full article form, but I can see that as alternate option and I wouldn't be opposed to that.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 03:08, 4 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] 3family6 , yes, I see it now, I'm going to reverse my original position now. Thanks for the answers! Remsense 留 03:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I still don't see how any of that discussion solves what seems to be core issue. What need is there for 'an overarching treatment' of the various (apparently very distinct) campaigns? I am not seeing them treated as a unified concept in the sources. What am I missing? Can someone give a short (paragraph or less) explanation of that, please? I am not hard to persuade to keep an article, but I'm just not seeing how this is not WP:SYNTH and probably WP:OR . Cheers, Last1in ( talk ) 14:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's not original synthesis as there are no conclusions reached that aren't in the source material. I challenge editors to show where that is the case. The biggest issue I see is that most references to "Mongol invasion/conquest of Central Asia" refer to Khwarazm or both Qara Khitai and Khwarazm. But, given that 1) these other campaigns/operations also occurred in geographic Central Asia (where else could they be discussed? They aren't Europe or Siberia, although there's overlap. The securing of Xinjiang and surrounding area could be discussed in the invasions China, but if editors are opposing inclusion here, they'd have to oppose inclusion there, as well), and 2) there are academic sources to support both the submission of the Uyghurs and Karluks and the "mopping-up" campaign beginning in 1209. The sections on Qara Khitai and Khwarazm aren't cited, but that's a WP:V issue and there's plenty of sources to support that material that just aren't yet cited. -- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] FWIW, I still don't see this either. I don't see how the sentence "Mongol expansion into Central Asia began in 1209" requires an entire article to be created on the "Mongol invasion of Central Asia", especially as the same author says differently elsewhere and two other sources define the "Mongol invasion of Central Asia" to be the Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire . If this article is kept, it has to be moved to something like "List of Mongol campaigns in Central Asia", as I did for the article formerly titled Mongol conquest of Siberia . ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk ) 17:59, 4 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I agree that it should be moved to "Mongol campaigns in Central Asia". AirshipJungleman29 , how would you categorize the minor 1209 campaign in Central Asia if it was created as it's own article? I.e., in the infobox, how would "part of the Mongol campaigns in Central Asia be incorrect, especially given that it can be cited to a source?-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You have already created it as its own article: Battle of Irtysh River (13th century) . ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk ) 23:55, 6 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That's fair. You would argue that the follow-up activities that would be included in the aftermath section of that article and my forthcoming Battle of Chem River article would be sufficient?-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 00:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Background and aftermath sections are all that would be required 3family6 . ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk ) 01:21, 9 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] At this point, I am not sure that even a merge to that subject is worthwhile. I am still firmly in the 'Delete' camp unless someone can explain why this is an encyclopaedic subject in itself and not a synthesis that artificially combines separate campaigns in a way that the scholarship does not support. Cheers, Last1in ( talk ) 16:58, 5 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Scholarship does support it. There's debate as to whether or not Khwarazm was always the end goal after Qara Khitai, and whether it was a goal or not, if the Irghiz River skirmish was a one-off or the prelude to the invasion (which in part depends on when it happened - 1209 or 1219, which is also debated).-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 23:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Doczilla @SUPERHEROLOGIST 06:30, 6 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per 3family6 and Remsense. And anyway, for the editors who want to delete it, why not just split it into separate articles and leave it as a list of the central asian campaigns? JM ( talk ) 06:56, 6 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keeping this as a list is another possibility if the consensus is to delete.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] JM2023 , because we already have those articles ( Mongol conquest of the Qara Khitai and Mongol conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire ), and we already have a list of Mongol invasions and conquests as well. As the nomination pointed out, this is essentially WP:SYNTH - it summarizes the events of two individually notable campaigns, but is not in itself notable, and it is not discussed as [a unique, separate topic] in WP:RS . Cheers, Last1in ( talk ) 23:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not sure I buy the argument that each and any way we structure information on this website has to have been done before in a previously published source. To extend that reasoning, the section Mongol invasions and conquests § Central Asia is SYNTH, and Mongol invasions and conquests § History and outcomes must be split up into precisely the military activities that are independently notable. I did briefly attempt to disprove the assertion that this subject had never been published about under a title like this (which I gave up early without resolution after about ten pages of search hits from the first publisher I checked). AirshipJungleman29 , you're something of a subject matter expert on this, so question for you: is there any title and structure for this material that would satisfy your sense of history communication, or is the framing so problematic that it beguiles readers into misunderstandings? To me, who knows little about this, it seems like a natural way to group information about Mongol expansion in a certain geographic and temporal space. Am I missing something? Is the article missing something? Looking back over the Mongol invasions and conquests article, I see the heading "West Asia", see a single three-sentence paragraph, and this intimidating section hatnote: Main articles: Mongol invasions of the Levant , Anatolia , Khwarezmian Empire , Georgia , the Nizaris of Alamut , and Siege of Baghdad (1258) What if I want a deeper understanding than the three sentences, but I don't want to read six separate articles? Is Wikipedia unable to summarise material to an intermediate level of detail because that level of detail doesn't really have a precedent in academic publishing? Folly Mox ( talk ) 05:51, 8 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Folly Mox Mongol invasions and conquests is a pretty terrible article. I have no idea why it's organised geographically rather than chronologically, as is done for literally every war summary on Wikipedia. It is also ludicrously short on detail—the three sentence paragraph you outline could easily be twenty times the length. As it stands, the article's organisation is WP:SYNTH ; but its content is not, because many sources do give an overview of the Mongol conquests. To answer your question, the only way this article should exist in my view is under the title List of Mongol campaigns in Central Asia . But we do not have articles on subjects like List of Napoleonic War battles in modern Germany , or List of Second Sino-Japanese War campaigns in modern Shandong , and I don't think we should, even though they would undoubtedly be "intermediate level summaries" between Napoleonic Wars / Second Sino-Japanese War and Lists of battles of the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars / List of military engagements of the Second Sino-Japanese War . Let me know if that answers your question or if I totally misread it. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk ) 20:57, 8 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] AirshipJungleman29 thank you for that explanation, that makes a lot more sense to me.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done ) 00:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sorry I meant to respond to this days ago, and had a reply all drafted, then my phone crashed and I forgot I never posted it. I think I'm of the opinion that simply reorganising information cannot be SYNTH, which involves drawing conclusions from a combination of sources where none of the sources individually supports the conclusion. The closest guidance we have for this opinion might be WP:SYNTHNOTSUMMARY , or its catchily named upstairs neighbour WP:SYNTHNOTJUXTAPOSITION , which sounds like a curse hex where someone changed a single character to avoid a naming taboo. Both of these are from an essay. That's not to say we can just write about whatever we want as long as it's sourced adequately: some things are not encyclopaedic topics. Being that the nom and the creator seem to be coming to an agreement below, I don't think I'll be leaving a not-vote, but I did want to circle back to this before it closed.

An inflatable dinghy carrying 30 migrants capsized while attempting to reach the UK, resulting in 27 deaths and one person missing. The victims included a pregnant woman and three children.". It would therefore fortify the request for it to be deleted simply because it lacks notability and it is not news .

The article is one separate event of a series of migrant crossings that have been going on for years. It may be overtaken in the future by a higher number of deaths.

Mariawest1965 ( talk ) 17:14, 16 June 2024 (UTC) ( Blocked sockpuppet ) [ reply ] Keep : This incident is notable not just from the large loss of life, but also because the level of public interest in that led both to the revelations about how the boat traffic was being treated by "rescue" services, and to some political/policy changes.

The article is well written and sourced, so no major cleanup needed either. This article counts 1300+ words, and the proposed merger would include most of its content into a page that has less than double the amount of words, giving WP:UNDUE weight to this single event. Keep is in my opinion the only possible option. Broc ( talk ) 08:33, 23 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep: Article addresses a notable subject; 27 deaths (a large number) and the deadliest incident recorded by the IOM in the English Channel.

I propose to modify the discussion so that the deletion discussion be simultaneously interpreted as a merge discussion to English Channel migrant crossings (2018–present) . I still think the points I have made are relevant and others have shared similar views. It is already in the article so merging it would effectively achieve the same outcome, but I do not think it deserves its own wholly separate article, for something so insignificant in a huge series of migrant crossings.

Only listing how many people were shot and died, when many who get shot get to the hospital in time and live, is ridiculous. Its still a crime whether the person dies or not.

Wizmut ( talk ) 15:11, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] As long as it's not a wholesale deletion, and is mainly being merged with a similar article, I'm not opposed to deletion. -- Hi Ev 07:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It's a great idea to merge these pages, since the subject and the data overlaps greatly. Also appreciate the work already put in on merging the data, eliminating the extraneous columns, and updating to a more current source from 2021! Great steps forward. I'm not opposed to merge, in fact I would like to help out with it. I just want to ask about the direction of the merge. Firearm deaths is a more narrow category than firearm violence. I think merging into the broadest category would be better, so that more types of topical data can be included. A title like "gun harm" could also be appropriate, and more general than both the two existing titles. The second concern I have is the page usage. The gun violence page has much more traffic (thousands of views per month), as well as more watchers/contributors/viewers of recent edits. It seems like it would be beneficial to be merged in that direction. Cliffroared ( talk ) 00:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Completely flexible on all points. Choosing the right term might be difficult because suicide is not always considered violence, not all violence results in death, and gun harm isn't a common term (wish it was). The CDC can be seen using the phrase "gun violence and injury". [15] Perhaps "Gun violence and injury in the United States by state?"

Turns out nobody minds getting rid of the cruft and nobody has said there should still be two articles. Wizmut ( talk ) 10:12, 23 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] What would have cut bureaucracy would be to have proceeded with your editing (and thank you for this aspect), including the redirecting as you thought suitable. All you did there was fine. Nothing required AFD. The only reason for an AFD would be if you wanted the edit history before the redirect to be deleted and that would not have been appropriate if material had been merged.

A "List of members" section that contains a genealogy of the family, e.g.: Father XYZ ∞ married Mother XYZ Son XYZ Daughter XYZ Sometimes a "See also" section, though there is not much to see there.

The "acting" families can go, but the political families? Not so fast. Bad idea to bundle these. Withdraw your nom. Howard the Duck ( talk ) 15:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The 8 articles that are bundled here are really, just genealogies. There is nothing else that explains the families, it primarily focuses on the family tree. Look at their "References" sections, it is just references used to build the family tree, a.k.a. genealogy. As I said before, that is not allowed on Wikipedia. Think again. EJPPhilippines ( talk ) 01:04, 29 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The subject of the articles, the Laurel family and Sotto family are WP:N ; the Padillas, somewhat less so. We are debating if the subjects of the articles are notable. AFD is not clean-up. This news article discusses the Sotto family. This news article even discusses the Philippine Constitutional Commission of 1986 debates if the anti-dynasty provision in the then being-drafted constitution should apply to the Laurels, saying that the Laurels were in government even during the Emilio Aguinaldo days. Other WP:RS discuss the Laurels even in the Spanish colonial era. Think again. Howard the Duck ( talk ) 03:00, 29 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Just because the broad concept of "Laurel family" may be notable does NOT mean the article should be kept as-is. Just because AFD is not cleanup does NOT mean that we cannot recommend a TNT or redirect here to allow a start-over that actually addresses any significance of the dynasty. If the page is now nothing but a genealogy with a family tree including non-notable members, it can be excluded if reconfigured, but that's no reason to derail the discussion when that's duplicative to the List of political families in the Philippines page. Reywas92 Talk 22:29, 29 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete or redirect all When the article is nothing but a genealogy, I don't believe an article is appropriate.

Gordon Smith Henderson: Although this is written and sourced differently enough to not be eligible for speedy deletion as a recreation of previously deleted content, it still isn't showing improved evidence of satisfying notability criteria. This does include more content about his legal career than the first time, but still stakes his notability as a lawyer primarily on (a) purely local crime coverage in his hometown that briefly glances off his existence as a lawyer in the process of being principally about the criminals, and (b) purely local run of the mill human interest coverage of the type that any reasonably prominent local figure would merely be expected to receive in his local media (e.g. marriage announcements and death notices), with absolutely nothing that suggests a credible reason why he would be a special case of uniquely greater notability than other lawyers. Meanwhile, the attempted notability as a politician is still staked on non-winning candidacies that do not satisfy WP:NPOL -- the only new thing that's been added is one piece of speculation about a cabinet appointment that didn't materialize, but "was briefly speculated as a possible appointment to a position he wasn't actually appointed to" is not a notability boost either. Otherwise, the remaining sources are tangentially verifying stray facts about his father and his son, which don't help to build Gordon's notability at all — notability is WP:NOTINHERITED , so he isn't automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because his father and son have Wikipedia articles, but there still just isn't anything here which counts as strong evidence that he's earned permanent inclusion in an international encyclopedia in his own right.

Dronebogus ( talk ) 01:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Dronebogus : Here's an NPR article directly about the subject of Latino superheroes. Here's another from HuffPost. Here's yet another from NBC News. Here's another from NY Times. So yes, a full prose article on the topic of Latino superheroes is potentially possible, and a list is a shoo-in for notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 01:49, 18 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Representation is a thing. When a form of media, genre, or say, a type of character is almost always one way for a long time, exceptions often get press coverage -- not just because they're unusual but because the people represented are often enthusiastic and want to share examples. Nominating a bunch of "[group historically underrepresented] in [an area in which they were underrepresented]" articles as WP:INDISCRIMINATE is, well, indiscriminate . Obviously there will be sources to satisfy WP:NLIST for this topic (I can link some, but I suspect that's not even in question, really), and inclusion criteria seems pretty easy to set up. The rest is just cleanup . — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] An IP responded to your boilerplate rationale at the AfD for List of Asian superheroes by pointing out that “representation is only a thing” if it deals with a America-slash-Eurocentric worldview. Latin American superheroes exist just like Asian (geographically speaking) superheroes and the vast majority of them are probably Latino. Your whole “non white superheroes are automatically notable because they’re rare” argument falls flat, because there’s a whole world of fiction out there not made by non-Latino-white dominated countries like America. Dronebogus ( talk ) 11:14, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Your whole “non white superheroes are automatically notable because they’re rare” argument - that isn't the argument. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 11:28, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Okay, “non white superheroes should have lists because they’re universally rare” Dronebogus ( talk ) 11:48, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : per arguments above.

Notability of a general topic does not indicate the need for a standalone list of every single item that's an example of that topic. There are fundamental, unfixable WP:OR issues about what counts as Latino -- ethic identity is already a thorny issue for real people, let alone fictional characters. Hell, one of the very few references in this giant mass of WP:OR calls the character "Hispanic", not "Latina". I'm really dumbfounded by the calls for keeping here. 35.139.154.158 ( talk ) 19:09, 19 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There are no original research issues - if a superhero is described by RS as "Latino", they are, regardless of what people may or may not claim.

These two teams are lucky to have sources outside the cities that they are based in. However, other teams should have more outside the realm of their city feud. If anything, it shows bias about a team that may not actually have a rivalry, but one city/area certainly thinks so.

As Alvaldi notes, WP:LOCAL is neither an official policy or guideline ... and on its face WP:LOCAL purports to cover places of local interest.

The Chrome Cranks: It is my understanding that even with this much coverage, the fact that it all comes from one source means it doesn't count as multiple sources. Or something like that.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 11:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Merging all of the "of (year)" pages into one existing article does not seem practical to me. Including the (100 singles/year * 50+ years =) 5,000+ lines of chart data, that would run counter to Wikipedia's SOP of splitting up overly long lists.

Ippantekina ( talk ) 02:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The website isn't much use, unfortunately. Most of the historical charts were never digitized, presumably, and in turn much of what was is now paywalled. The primary ref for the majority of the pages in question are scans of the corresponding print magazines, hosted at Google Books and other such archival sites. That, combined with the direct links to the articles about each artist and work, does make the "Wikipedia editions" of the charts much more user-friendly than any others I'm aware of.

I do not want to inconvience them by taking an extra step (just) to look for the modern LNER. I also said the modern LNER has 3x the amount of views compared to the old one so those looking for the old LNER will use the hatnote to do so, that is the purpose of it.

Merc Fenn Wolfmoor: The article relies exclusively upon primary sources and sources that are connected to Wolfmoor (only sources independent of the subject of the article can be used to establish notability). All information in this article is sourced from Wolfmoor's Tweets, blog and 'About the Author'. The article is based entirely on statements made by Wolfmoor and Wolfmoor's publishers. I was unable to find any good independent sources, making meaningful improvement to this article impossible.

Raladic ( talk ) 04:35, 11 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep There is plenty of articles supporting GNG. As the article mentions, the Author has changed their name in 2019 and most of their work from before then is attributed to their older name. [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] I believe the nomination may have missed in WP:BEFORE of the authors prior name under which most work is published, so the nomination may fall under WP:SNOWBALL . Raladic ( talk ) 05:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] None of these are significant coverage in a secondary source. The first one is an interview (which is a primary source and cannot be used to establish notability). The fourth is already cited in the article and is just a list (not coverage). The third and fifth are also just lists and are not coverage. The second only has a sentence about Wolfmoor, and the sixth has only a short paragraph. Nothing here proves notability. Baronet13 ( talk ) 21:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Merc Fenn Wolfmoor is a well-known and significant science fiction and fantasy author who has been a finalist for both the Otherwise Award (formerly known as the James Tiptree, Jr. Award) and the Nebula Award . Under the "any biography" criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (people) , a person is considered to meet notability guidelines if they have received a well-known and significant award or honor, or "been nominated for such an award several times." Being a finalist for these awards qualifies Wolfmoor. But in addition there are plenty of other sources proving notability including a large number of reviews of their work, such as a starred review in Publishers Weekly of their short story collection So You Want to Be a Robot , a PW review of Friends for Robot , plus other PW reviews of their short stories in anthologies such as A People’s Future of the United States , Wilde Stories 2016: The Year’s Best Gay Speculative Fiction , and The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2018 . Other reviews proving notability can be found in Kirkus Reviews (see links 1 2 , and 3 ) and Booklist (accessible via Wikipedia Library). Add all of that with the NPR reviews/coverage and interviews shared above by Raladic plus having stories reprinted in multiple editions of The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy and Wolfmoor meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. -- SouthernNights ( talk ) 13:50, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] 'Several' means more than two, so two nominations do not meet the criteria for WP:ANYBIO . All of these reviews are quite short, not in depth, and some of them barely mention Wolfmoor. If these are the best sources in existence, it proves Wolfmoor does not meet notability requirements. Baronet13 ( talk ) 06:11, 13 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] These are standard reviews for Publishers Weekly and Kirkus and absolutely prove notability. In fact, reviews such as these are the gold standard for proving notability for author articles on Wikipedia. Wolfmoor has also been a multi-time nominee for the Locus Award , so there's the 3 award finalists spots you asked for. Plus there is also far more coverage of Wolfmoor and their work out there including in genre industry publications such as this spotlight interview in Lightspeed Magazine and reviews in Locus Magazine (see 1 , 2 , 3 but there are many more) and Tangent Online (see 1 , 2 , 3 but again there are many more). The sum total of all this is Wolfmoor meets notability guidelines. -- SouthernNights ( talk ) 12:00, 13 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Interviews are primary sources and can't be used to establish notability. As for the others, most have only a single paragraph, many only a single sentence, referencing Wolfomoor's work. They are just general descriptions and impressions, not the sort of detailed and in-depth analysis that would qualify as significant coverage. These sources do not satisfy notability requirements. Baronet13 ( talk ) 06:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Reviews are can be used to determine the notability of creative professionals such as authors. Per WP:POET , notability can be established if a creative professional has "won significant critical attention," which these reviews establish. But on top of that Wolfmoor has been a finalist for three different major awards in their genre, meaning they also meet that notability criteria. -- SouthernNights ( talk ) 12:45, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:POET isn't relevant because Wolfmoor is not a poet. The issue isn't whether or not reviews can be used to determine notability, it's whether or not the particular sources you listed are 'significant coverage.' Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not clearly define 'significant coverage', describing it only as addressing 'the topic directly and in detail'. I don't think it's possible to cover a book (or anything else) in detail is a single paragraph or less, and as a result would not consider short reviews and brief overviews to be significant coverage. Baronet13 ( talk ) 02:47, 15 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Baronet13 : As an FYI, WP:POET is merely a redirect pointing to the notability guidelines for creative professionals. If you click on it you'll see it applies to all types of creative professionals, including authors. As for your belief that it's not possible to cover a book in a single paragraph, that's merely your belief. I disagree, especially when the reviews are in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus.-- SouthernNights ( talk ) 20:09, 15 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Based on the links provided by SouthernNights I'd say a Weak Keep but would strongly suggest that someone who is familiar with the author actually improve the article as it stands. Because for a random Wikipedia editor scrolling through the page, as it stands, looks very non-notable. Simonm223 ( talk ) 15:35, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 21:52, 6 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This article was created by User:Joehubris (apparently no longer active) in 2010 because Jenkins was co-author of a cover story in Scientific American . This was covered by MIT News and FSU's news website . The same work was featured in a 2015 episode of the TV show Through the Wormhole , hosted by Morgan Freeman. Jenkins appeared in person in that show. Also, there are number of published books that cite Jenkins for this work (one can try a Google Books search of his name ). There's also a news story from 2020 in Physics World , based on different and later work. This seem to me to be a feature story and includes a picture of Jenkins and his collaborator Alicki. It seems to me that this reflects a significant amount of exposure in the media for a theoretical physicist. A number of physics pages, including Triboelectric effect and Self-oscillation , currently link to this bio based on the subject's work in those areas. - Eb.hoop2 ( talk ) 23:34, 8 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep -- member of the national academy of sciences for a country. Evidence from @Eb.hoop2 (which I think should be counted as a Keep vote) suggests other evidence of notability. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 09:48, 11 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . Is membership in the Costa Rica NAS enough? It's not clear to me that it operates as an extremely selective org recognizing significant impact in one's field the way the US NAS or UK RS do. I couldn't find anything about its election/nomination/application process on the website or even a description of what membership means. The executive director is someone with a master's in management, for example, and its Board of Directors includes people with only a master's and very recent PhDs. Jenkins has very low citation counts for this field, though the PhysicsWorld piece is promising, if rather routine, for C7/GNG. The MIT and FSU pieces are not independent and so do not count toward notability. JoelleJay ( talk ) 17:35, 11 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The ratio of National Science Academy membership to national population is about 1.6 times as high for Costa Rica (60/5,000,000) as for the US (2400/335,000,000), so the Costa Rican Academy is still rather selective. Jenkins's papers, though few, are well cited and unusually wide-ranging, including high energy physics, cosmology, quantum thermodynamics, and science pedagogy and history. Jenkins pointed out, in a paper on quark masses, that what is now called the anthropic principle was enunciated in 1844 by Arthur Schopenhauer, long before it was rediscovered and named in the 20th century. CharlesHBennett ( talk ) 23:33, 11 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment I revised the above numbers for Costa Rica to 60/5,000,000 because I had erroneously included 20 deceased members yesterday. The US National Academy of Sciences has two Costa Rican members. Both are members of the Costa Rican National Academy of Sciences. I too could not find how the Costa Rican National Academy selects its members. The Royal Society, arguably the most prestigious learned society, is less selective relative to the population of its host country (1600/67,000,000) than either the NAS or the Costa Rican Academy, perhaps because it includes a significant number of members from other Commonwealth countries. CharlesHBennett ( talk ) 13:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The appearance on a television program to discuss his work (as well as cover story on same material in Scientific American) establish notability. Membership in Costa Rican National Academy of Sciences also independently establishes notability. A scientist’s h-index need not be high for them to be notable (Eg, Peter Higgs has an h-index of 7 or 8). Gsbsmith ( talk ) 09:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Neither of the first two items you mention contributes at all to notability... Thousands of non-notable researchers appear on TV or publish articles in pop science magazines. And without knowing what the qualifications are for membership in the Costa Rican NAS we don't know whether it actually is selective (it looks more likely to be a governmental advisory body than an org whose membership is restricted to the top scientists in their field). I also didn't mention h-index in my evaluation, I mentioned citations ; Higgs has three solo-authored research papers totaling 6800+ citations, that's clearly a C1 pass by itself. Jenkins has one review article with 245 citations and a co-authored paper with 97 citations. Is that really a high enough standard for theoretical physics?

Archived from the original on 2023-10-17 . Retrieved 2023-10-17 . The review notes: "The second show, Offsiders (Sunday 10.30am), follows the politically minded Insiders program so seamlessly that all the budget-conscious ABC has to do is to remind Barrie Cassidy, who hosts both shows, to think scores instead of scandals and swap armchair-reclining political "opinionators" such as Gerard Henderson, Andrew Bolt and Piers Ackerman (known to some as the "axis of evil") with authors and sports journalists Gideon Haigh and John Harms. Again, like Head 2 Head, Offsiders has a pleasingly understated feel about it, not least because it forwards the radical idea (these days at least) that you don't have to be a big name former player to have something worthwhile to say about sport. If anything, it allows for opinion unfettered by allegiances which, in turn, allows for a few well-aimed barbs and not just a "sport's great, mate" attitude." Sinclair, Lara (2006-07-29).

A recent episode looking at the Tour de France was a case in point: given that the ABC promises intelligent, insightful debate about sporting issues, it might have helped had one of the sporting scribes in residence had more than a nodding acquaintance with road cycling. ... Cassidy has a modest air of on-screen confidence that appears to engender a Parky-like level of relaxation from his media guests. But maybe by 10.30am, things need livening up. Offsiders purports to bring the same level of challenging discourse to the sporting arena but there's no doubt Insiders packs the heavier punch." Epstein, Jackie (2006-02-26).

While WP:INHERITED normally applies, the subject is a claimant to a royal lineage, and ancestry is precisely what it is all based on. I would normally lean towards a weak keep. However, I don't know enough of the subject to comment on this, WP:INHERITED must still be considered, and overall other editors probably have better feedback based on this. Best regards, -- NoonIcarus ( talk ) 01:56, 6 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . WP:INHERITED isn't a content guideline nor is it a policy. It's part of an essay about arguments to be avoided at AfD, so it needn't be considered at all. The subject's notability should be determined by coverage in reliable sources. That the coverage may be because of some antiquated title doesn't matter. pburka ( talk ) 03:27, 6 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Per the Spanish sources she meets notability, and as was pointed out WP:INHERITED is merely an essay.

Out of the five sources listed in the Spanish page of the subject, only three are accessible online and one the first article constitutes significant coverage, with the second only has trivial mention and the third is behind paywall. There are more sources in the French page , but I only see two suitable sources: one by El Mondo and another by purepeople . The rest are either inaccessible (offline publications or behind paywall), trivial mentions, or unsuitable sites like blogs, Youtube and facebook page. There seem to be a number of significant coverage enough to pass WP:GNG , but honestly the individual has very little accomplishments other than what being born into the nobility gave her access to. Tutwakhamoe ( talk ) 23:41, 11 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There is nothing fundamentally wrong with offline sources, sources behind a paywall and even sources that are now a dead link. If the sources can be accessed by someone (e.g. paying for a subscription, visiting a library, using the Wayback Machine ), WP:V is satisfied.

FurAffinity: This article cites the subject's website and other self-published sources so there are essentially no references. I couldn't find any on a BEFORE search.

Chris Troutman ( talk ) 04:47, 16 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as what does seem to be (or to have been) the most prominent website for this subculture. I was able to find sources easily, although the more substantive ones tend to be doctoral theses rather than news articles. The site generated a bit of press due to a cybersecurity incident, and considerable mainstream press when it banned AI-generated art in 2022. It gets a lot of short mentions in the press, which I acknowledge don't count for much. I've put some citations into the article, perhaps someone with greater interest will be able to search out better cites. Oblivy ( talk ) 06:23, 16 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strongly Keep : Supporting the reasons with that user above. Along adding my case on that nearly all furries (even myself) use this the most popular furry-based art-based website to express ourselves. As well the previous (and successful) deletion of this page happened, ~17-18 years ago, when the art website is clearly then-creation. So, let other users (both furries and non-furries, including possibly me) to find news articles that are reliable in primary and secondary levels. Despite the several flaws in that website. Chad The Goatman ( talk ) 04:28, 17 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Hello, I'm the creator of the article. First off, I 100% understand why the article hasn't existed in nearly my entire lifetime because of the shocking lack of sources for a site so well-known. However, I genuinely want this up due to the fact that: 1. This is, whether some people like it or not, still the largest used furry-centric site as of 2023. It has long been a staple of the furry community and is even recognized by many non-furs (again, for both good and bad unfortunately). 2. As the furry fandom becomes more... "mainstream"(?) , especially since the start of the decade, it is inevitable that there will be at least some more pages on furry-related and adjacent stuff here. So I simply thought "why not" for this. Again, I apologize for the lack of sources. While I do believe that posts from the sites own management do count as reliable sources, at least for events that happened, I do agree that that might not be enough for this. However, despite that, I hope that people build on the article and it remains up. - CanYouNotMyDude Ye9CYNMD ( talk ) 06:49, 17 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikipedia articles are supposed to rely mainly on secondary sources, especially those subject to fact-checking (e.g., publications with editorial staff, or peer reviewed articles). The site's own words, and those of people connected to it, may be OK for some factual matters or for quotes about their mindset and intentions, but tend to be disregarded when looking at notability. We want to see that others regard the article subject as something worth talking about. Simply hoping other people will find sources is not a strong strategy - you need to go look (as I did, and I'm not even tangentially interested in this subculture). Oblivy ( talk ) 10:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

If so, this is horrifying. There are some 7,758 state legislators in the US with turnover rates between 20% and 30%. This means over the course of Wikipedia's 22 year existence that would mean, conservatively, a staggering 30,000 BLPs. I am highly suspect that this is something the community agreed to. jps ( talk ) 15:29, 28 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] After some digging, is appears that people who monitor WP:NPOL really do seem to think that it confers automatic notability on any state(or equivalent political-level) legislator in the world .

PARVAGE talk! 18:52, 28 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : A topic that is "presumed" to be notable under a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG) is not a guaranteed "keep", contrary to what the two previous ! voters seem to think, because sourcing is still a central issue on Wikipedia. According to policy ( WP:SNG ): "Therefore, topics which pass an SNG are presumed to merit an article, though articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article, especially if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found," and here "significant coverage" means from independent, reliable secondary sources.

( talk ) 15:35, 28 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep: Calling a sitting legislator WP:ONEEVENT seems wrong. At the very least their notable for being elected and then the scandal. This is a currently sitting legislator that meets WP:NPOL . The presumption exists because state legislators are highly likely to have sources that cover their state legislative career (it's almost guaranteed they get significant coverage). I don't think the delete votes have rebutted that presumption at all. There is no proof that "adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found." I added more sources to the article and am sure more exist than what I've added. TulsaPoliticsFan ( talk ) 16:43, 28 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Subject clearly passes WP:NPOL as an American state legislator. NPOL is not the automatic conferral of notability per se, moreso it is the presumption that coverage exists. Because politicians always generate coverage (in national, regional, and local media) through their actions, we thus assume they are notable even if the coverage is not presently evident in the article or on Google (because many of these sources may be offline/non-digitized; this is especially important in countries where Internet access may be limited at best). Curbon7 ( talk ) 18:32, 28 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Also, if you think this is a novel interpretation, see for example Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)/Archive 2015#WP:POLITICIAN Issue (Cullen's example at the end is a good one). By all means, if you don't like it and think it should be a different way, then write your ideas at the WP:Village Pump for consideration, but we should not be legislating what has been the SOP for 15 years at a random AfD. Curbon7 ( talk ) 18:51, 28 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I have brought the discussion to BLPN. Have you guys actually thought about the implications of this SOP? I can't find any clear discussion of such. The example you cite is an exception to the rule which is rather bizarre. If I was a little more WP:POINTy , I would start a bot that would autogenerate BLPs for every single state legislator Neelix-style. I imagine then the policy would change right quick. Y'all aren't thinking this through. jps ( talk ) 21:21, 28 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per presumption of notability under WP:NPOL . RecycledPixels ( talk ) 20:04, 28 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Clearly meets WP:NPOL as an elected state legislator. WP:N states that a subject is presumed notable if it meets either the general notability guideline... or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (emphasis mine), so long as the article is not excluded under WP:NOT . In other words, meeting a subject-specific notability guideline is more than sufficient to meet our notability standards. What's more, he has been covered both while running for office ( [43] [44] ) as well as while in office ( [45] ), and he's not exactly a low-profile figure, so I don't see a plausible WP:BLP1E issue here. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 02:49, 29 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Not only does he obviously meet NPOL as clearly demonstrated, but putting that aside for a moment the coverage of him is quite significant. I'm struggling to see policy grounds for this nomination. AusLondonder ( talk ) 20:03, 29 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Clearly passes WP:NPOL as a duly elected member of a state legislature. Obviously such articles still have to be monitored for WP:BLP compliance, but there's no valid argument to be had that some state legislators are somehow less notable than other state legislators. I mean, seriously, if a state legislator who clearly has media coverage is still somehow non-notable anyway, then what else could possibly be the bar for making any other state legislator "more notable than the norm" at all? Bearcat ( talk ) 15:32, 1 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . WP:NPOL states "The following are presumed to be notable: The following are presumed to be notable: Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. ". While I think the article should include things such as committee assignments, maybe some votes on key issues, in addition to what it includes now (yes even the lunatic podcast interview). It clearly qualifies under current guidelines AND is frankly better sourced and better written than most state legislator articles. -- Mpen320 ( talk ) 03:58, 2 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Normally distributed and uncorrelated does not imply independent: A mathematical treatise with only a couple of references to basic facts the rest are heavily mathematized proofs and reasonings.

The "Cranking through the math" part was a tone problem, not a content problem, and that was easily fixed. Right now, the page is in deletion is not cleanup territory, I think.

AFD is not for cleanup of minor tone problems. -- JBL ( talk ) 21:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:SYNTH - does it ring the bell? - Altenmann >talk 21:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] If I were you I would be more worried about WP:CIR . -- JBL ( talk ) 21:17, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Synthesis means drawing new conclusions from things that sources have said. This article takes a conclusion that sources have already said and illustrates it with examples that sources have already used. XOR'easter ( talk ) 21:46, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: As I see XOR'easter tries to salvage the article by throwing in references to some math. Well, it will probably not help. No matter how many footnotes you add, the article will still be original research, only from unreferenced OR it will turn into WP:SYNTH -type OR. (Of course, there is no doubt one can find a ref to each and every "2+2=4".) For this article, you have to provide references to sources that discuss these or similar examples. We have quite a few discussions in WP to what extent math in articles is OR (especially in the issues related to statistics; somehow many people think that population counting is a trivial math). And all discussions inevitably boil down to allowing only 2+2=4 or such. And funny thing, heated battles were around basic logic: "A or B" vs. "A and B" -- who would have believe it? "He didnt drink or smoke" - true or false? - Altenmann >talk 21:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment 2: Heck, in this way I can print my 2-pages-long proof of the Fermat's Last Theorem , with every line footnoted, but still wrong. - Altenmann >talk 21:19, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] One horse is of one coat color <ref| Base of mathematical induction /ref> Suppose k horses of one color <ref| Induction hypothesis /ref> Let us prove that then k+1 horses are of one color <ref| Induction step /ref> ... and so on. With each sentence footnoted, and you proved that all horses are the same color .- Altenmann >talk 21:28, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep First, the rationale advanced in the deletion nomination was factually inaccurate to begin with. The sources already in the article at the time were enough to demonstrate that the examples weren't made up out of whole cloth and that the topic is a topic math people care about. Further searching only bolsters this conclusion. One could still have legitimate concerns: is the article title clear and informative? Would this work better as a section in another article? Is the tone still too textbook-like rather than encyclopedic? Such concerns, though worth discussing, are not a matter for AfD . XOR'easter ( talk ) 22:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge - to Independence (probability theory) , I would suggest. The article very much positions itself as WP:SYNTH ; starting off with This article demonstrates that [...] is something of a heavy giveaway. The premise here is "I will make an argument", not "I will document a topic". This can be carried within an existing article because we have more leeway there to shape the structure of how information is presented, but it is quite unsuitable for a separate article. Make it a subsection under (or after) Independence (probability theory)#Examples , and it should be okay. Sentences like "it is sometimes mistakenly thought that" still require sourcing/attribution. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs ) 06:01, 19 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The contents of this article would be totally undue at Independence (probability theory) , making it an inappropriate merge target. -- JBL ( talk ) 00:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It might make more sense to turn this article into a section in a new article called something like Misconceptions about the normal distribution . The three different Counterexamples books, the Melnick and Tenenbein paper, etc., provide other topics that would fit under that heading. XOR'easter ( talk ) 05:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I think I would support that. It would certainly be a better title than the current one IMO. I guess that would count as a keep and edit from me thne. Alpha3031 ( t • c ) 11:36, 24 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Poor phrasing does not WP:SYNTH make. It's not WP:SYNTH when the references (a) point out that students actually have this misconception and (b) provide examples illustrating why it is wrong. There is no conclusion here being advanced beyond what the literature already says. XOR'easter ( talk ) 05:17, 20 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting. I see very different, opposing views of this article. Let's see if one relisting can bring a clearer consensus or another possible Merge target emerges. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, L iz Read! Talk! 23:32, 24 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , although it needs work and possibly a re-naming. It's not so bad to rate WP:TNT , and not WP:OR because it has been cited at least twice. I have taken and passed four statistics classes from the 100 level to graduate school, and I have taught very basic probability as part of AP Biology, but I am not an expert, so I defer to other where this should go.
