Frank O'Connor (director): Available reliable secondary source coverage consists of being listed in credits for movies and little else. Searches for sources just to substantiate the alleged birth and death dates were unsuccessful (likely was sourced from WP:IMDB, which is a user-generated source). Finding reliable sources about the man himself has also been unsuccessful; even being careful to try to filter out other Frank O'Connors mostly yields results that are either not significant/independent/reliable (user-generated or are credit-information on movie-streaming platforms) or are about the Irish author or the actor husband of Ayn Rand [28] [29] [30] . While prolific in his career, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate catalog of information , and this O'Connor does not meet the general notability guideline.

CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 22:23, 21 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - While difficult to parse the information available, definitely meets WP:FILMMAKER , and there is enough to pass WP:GNG as well, such as obit in the Los Angeles Times , story in the Los Angeles Evening Citizen News , a paragraph in article in the San Francisco Examiner , piece , article , and quite a few others. Onel 5969 TT me 00:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Close inspection suggests there isn't much more than two paragraphs of substantive coverage. The obituary is three paragraphs long, but the first paragraph is about when his funeral is, and the third is about his widow and children; only the third is about him and his career as a filmmaker. The 1935 San Francisco Examiner article has a singul paragraph that is directly about O'Connor. The other articles mention him only in passing: he's the writer for a film, or the director of a movie, but his writing and direction are not themselves the subject and not themselves examined, analyzed, reported on, etc. These mentions resemble the classic example of what isn't significant coverage : Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band . P-Makoto (she/her) ( talk ) 02:13, 22 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Meets WP:FILMMAKER as the director of multiple notable early films, as well as the obituary and articles identified by Onel5969. Toughpigs ( talk ) 00:46, 22 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I agree with both ! votes above that he does meet Wp:FILMMAKER and thanks to Onel5969 for the sources that do attest O'Connor was director/writor of multiple notable films (which is what is needed to meet criterion#3), which the nominator apparently concedes. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 09:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Creating a body of work is only the first part of criterion #3. The full criterion is The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work . O'Connor's plural films do not on their own substantiate notability; the films must be themselves significantly covered as a primary subject. From what I can gather, much of his filmography is of works that are documented in mostly a catalog-like fashion that doesn't demonstrate notability. Contemporaneous reviews (what a historian would call a primary source for the film and its reception) seem to be of an indiscriminate nature, with periodicals documenting and reviewing every movie that comes out; such coverage doesn't demonstrate notability. P-Makoto (she/her) ( talk ) 19:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Contemporaneous reviews (what a historian would call a primary source for the film and its reception) seem to be of an indiscriminate nature, with periodicals documenting and reviewing every movie that comes out; such coverage doesn't demonstrate notability. That’s not the consensus on Wikipedia, I’m afraid. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 13:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Agreed: the periodicals covered "every movie" in the 1920s because films made by major studios tend to be notable. The same is true now for major studio films. It's not indiscriminate; it's a reflection of what the industry is like at a given time. Toughpigs ( talk ) 16:41, 23 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Withdraw : Toughpigs's elaboration that a periodical's comprehensive coverage of newly released films is not necessarily the same as an indiscriminate coverage of a subject prompted me reconsider my assessment of the newspaper coverage of O'Connor's movies. I would like to withdraw my nomination. (If I read the deletion nomination instructions rightly, a neutral editor should still be the one to close the discussion, not myself?)

Charles Francis Lott: Much of the article is cited to a Burlington County Medical Society publication of which the subject was a member. The source lacks independence from the subject. The other sources are two publications on the History of Butte County in which his son was a prominent judge. The coverage in both is really more related to giving a biographical background of his son and he is not the main subject. In my opinion, none of these sources indicate that subject was independently notable from his son, and none rise to the level of in-depth independent significant coverage that we require to pass WP:SIGCOV . Further, his career as a physician doesn't appear to have been remarkable in any way. 4meter4 ( talk ) 18:38, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Re: none of these sources indicate that subject was independently notable from his father , the subject's father is not even mentioned in the article. BD2412 T 18:45, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Two of the three sources are principally about his son, Charles Fayette Lott . I was commenting on the sources BD2412 not on the prose in the article. I meant to write son not father earlier, and have corrected the text accordingly. 4meter4 ( talk ) 18:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Well I have now added an easily found additional source that is principally about the subject and independent of them, and contains all of the information documented in the source you assert lacks independence, so you can withdraw this WP:BEFORE -lacking nomination. Cheers! BD2412 T 19:00, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I would consider this one source with independent significant coverage. We need multiple sources with independent significant coverage to pass GNG. I am not persuaded. 4meter4 ( talk ) 19:05, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The 1918 source, while primarily on the son, has objectively extensive enough coverage of the father. BD2412 T 19:12, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There certainly is content in the sources on his son, but I wouldn't consider it significant coverage. By all accounts so far he seems to have been a rather ordinary physician with a rather ordinary life. There are many medical professionals, and many who have served in the military. What makes this particular person encyclopedic? What is his claim to notability? At this point the only thing I am seeing is the family connection with his son and the other Lott family members. Perhaps a larger article on the family, which seems to have been the topic of more sources, would be more appropriate rather than an individual article on this particular member of the Lott family? 4meter4 ( talk ) I would consider raising a cavalry company and directing a military medical facility during a fairly major early American war to suffice on its own. BD2412 T 21:49, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I see you have been busy adding sources and more content; particularly on his work in the military. Good work. I will take a look at it tomorrow, and get back to you. I am off wiki for the rest of today. Best. 4meter4 ( talk ) 22:08, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , in any case. Nominating an article 29 minutes after its creation, and with an obvious absence of WP:BEFORE , is no way to build an encyclopedia. BD2412 T 19:16, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Before I nominated the article, I did searches in google books, JSTOR, EBSCOE, and my university library search engine. It took me roughly 15 minutes to do a standard WP:BEFORE search as outlined in the guideline. It's not hard when you have access to a university library. Best. 4meter4 ( talk ) 20:33, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] All of the sources that I found were found on Google Books, but it is difficult to effectively search for an individual who is likely to often be identified as just "Charles Lott", or even "Charles F. Lott". BD2412 T 20:51, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Certainly, different naming conventions can make searching more challenging. Having more people look for materials, which this AFD will accomplish, will ultimately benefit the article if it is kept.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:23, 15 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Regardless of the merits of the article, it is clearly not appropriate to nominate it for deletion 40 minutes after it was created, while it was still being written, in what appears to be a continuation of an editing dispute over the Charles Lott disambiguation page. In fact given the existence of the prior dispute I suspect the nominator learned of the article's existence when it was added to the disambiguation page , a mere seven minutes before it was nominated for deletion . (Either that or the nominator was stalking the creator's edits.) I suggest this AfD be closed.

Volusia error: I can't find any unbiased sources (that aren't obviously connected to Harris) to satisfy WP:GNG . The closest sources I could find are the Washington Post piece and Jeffrey Toobin's Too Close to Call , neither of which provide detailed coverage about the incident, simply mentioning the error as one of several mistakes.

Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative: The single reference present in the article does not contain "Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative". Previous discussion was infested by an alt account who went off on a tangent on how it is not fair for him to get new user mentoring. This is why the close suggested no prejudice towards renominating at AfD. बिनोद थारू ( talk ) 14:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies and North Dakota . बिनोद थारू ( talk ) 14:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - First of all, this looks to me like somebody didn't like the outcome and is running this within hours of the first close. The mentoring issue was irrelevant to this. It was a side issue that one editor had been assigned to "mentor" a specific editor without the mentored editor asking for mentoring, or even knowing about it ahead of time. What alt account and alt/sock puppet thing mentioned above? Please see North Dakota's Electric Distribution Cooperatives and click on this particular coop. I also linked Rural Electrification Act , which is the detailed legislation that created these coops during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. I repeat here original comments about electric co-ops, so readers know what they are: Re Category:Electric cooperatives of the United States . In the United States, these electric coops are the energy-providing life blood of rural areas. Some articles are well-done and fairly well-sourced. Some articles are done just like this one is done. Prior to that, much of rural America had nothing but what a local area could put together, if anything. That said ... you can nit-pick and delete the sparse ones like this, or you can come up with a better solution. — Maile ( talk ) 15:58, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Please see North Dakota's Electric Distribution Cooperatives This source only contains a link to their website. No coverage at all. Please see WP:ORGDEPTH for the criteria. This comment is not in line with WP:OR . If extremely sparse primary sources were to be patched together, then original research would be needed to complete the article (like drawing connections with the Rural Electrification Act , for example). बिनोद थारू ( talk ) 16:09, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Maile66. Coverage almost always exists for such utilities and there is some coverage if someone with access searches on newspapers.com . Someone with access to WP:PAYWALLEDSOURCES can see the coverage. 72.172.120.125 ( talk ) 20:37, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I have done the deed on Google News archive and none is significant coverage or one that meets WP:CORPDEPTH . Here's what I found: Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative , Clearwater-Polk Electric Cooperative, Minnkota Power Cooperative, Nodak Electric Cooperative, North Star Electric Cooperative,: PKM Electric Cooperative, Red Lake Electric Cooperative, Red River [...] (Farmers Independent. Mar 17, 1993) They were cruising up and down the ditches having a good old time," said Kerry Mikkelsen, line superintendent for1 the Cavalier Rural Electric Co-op in Langdon (McCook Daily Gazette. May 14, 2004) Cavalier Rural Electric Board for over 30 years, taking his father's place when Irwhi retired from the board. (Turtle Mountain Star. Dec 10, 2007) Using those as basis for an article would be an egregious failure of WP:PRIMARY and the corporations guideline . The best source I have been able to find, not a newspaper, is "Report of the Rural Electrification Administration (1953)". It is searchable on Google with the term "Cavalier Rural Electric" (with quotes). The enthusiasm for the development of rural electrification in the Great Plains was vividly demonstrated at the meeting of Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative, shortly after VJ-day. More than 700 farmers and their families crowded into the little school auditorium at Langdon, N. Dak., to hear about the new Cavalier Co-op and what it could do for them. Co-op leaders, remembering the prewar skepticism of many North Dakota farmers when electricity for their homes and farms was discussed, had doubted that more than 40 would turn out for the meeting. The North Dakota farmers by thousands clamored for electricity. That demand spread across the Nation in every type of farming area. Even in Alaska [...] The only information one can take out of that is that it was created between 1944-1953. Yet the creation date is present in all of the company articles that get routinely deleted here. And saying it was created in 1944-1953 can be construed as original research , since the source doesn't directly say it. बिनोद थारू ( talk ) 20:45, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete , mainly due to lack of WP:SIGCOV by independent secondary sources, no evidence thus far that WP:CORPDEPTH has been satisfied. Left guide ( talk ) 21:06, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Obvious Keep In order to build an encyclopedia, the community created {{citation needed}} tags. The previous AfD came on the heels of this failed WP:PROD initiated by the nom, who is now using a different rationale. This is after the admin who closed out the previous AfD wrote I just want to emphasize that BEFORE is an important step prior to any AFD nomination and it's useful to share the results of any BEFORE search that was done. Here is WP:BEFORE . The community is not obligated to tediously devote resources to flagrant wikilawyering by a single-purpose editor specializing in AfDs ( contributions history ). As regards WP:SIGCOV , a non-profit electrical utility that serves an essential service (electricity) to many thousands of users is far-cry from some random Dairy Queen or “Al’s Tire-O-Rama” in nearby Belcourt on State Route 10. Citing WP:SIGCOV as a basis for deleting this article flies in the face of the very reason we have Category:Electric cooperatives of the United States . Greg L ( talk ) 22:25, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Speedy procedural close - The last AfD has only just concluded, and although Liz said there was no penalty against a return trip, I am sure she did not mean a return trip on the same day she closed it! The AfD was closed as no consensus. Leave it two months before re-nominating. It gives a chance to improve the page/find sources and if nothing changes, then sure, bring it back to AfD at the beginning of March. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 23:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . The previous discussion (which I didn't even start) was interrupted by three people (Locke Cole, Greg L and his alt MLee1957) who were angry at my prior nomination of a WP:FAKEARTICLE -type user page [4] . So the closer allowed to renominate it with no prejudice. If it were a case of no consensus due to strong keep/delete votes and no alts, then yes, it would be advisable to wait half a year before obtaining new consensus. बिनोद थारू ( talk ) 23:39, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ बिनोद थारू : : With regard to WP:FAKEARTICLE , you need to better familiarize yourself with Wikipedia and its processes and infrastructure. WP:Sandboxex are where editors work on articles outside of user-space; that’s what they’re there for. As for User:MLee1957 being an “ Alt ” account, this sockpuppet investigation resulted in the obvious conclusion as follows: which clearly indicates two people in two separate places . I ask you to not engage in baseless allegations on that score from hereon. Greg L ( talk ) 23:55, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I second the motion for Speedy procedural close in part, per the reasons stated by Sirfurboy🏄 . More importantly, I spent a small fraction of the time the community has so-far wasted on this disruption by adding two much-needed citations establishing where Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative is headquartered and what area it serves. Thus, the foundational premiss upon which this AfD is based is moot. Adding citations beats and endless cycle tendentious wikidrama . Greg L ( talk ) 00:12, 30 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep It has been established by others here that Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative is A) notable (electrical co-ops have their own category here on Wikipedia), B) this AFD was improperly brought against the directions of the person who closed the last one, C) the article now has citations on two key facts.

The article notes: "昨(29)日下午,四川首个荣誉学院———吴玉章学院正式在四川大学挂牌成立,川大校长谢和平将出任吴玉章学院荣誉院长,他在挂牌仪式上介绍说,四川大学将从进入该校的学生中选拔出优秀者进入该学院学习。而学生则可享受自选专业的“优待”。 ... 此次吴玉章学院将把四川大学的创新班和联合班合并,学院性质为荣誉学院,管理权直接归属学校,与其他学院平行,... 学校将每年从全国报考四川大学的高分考生及保送生中通过考试选拔产生学院学生,每年招生人数约占学校招生总数的1.5%,学院规模总体不超过1000人。" From Google Translate: "Yesterday (29th) afternoon, Sichuan’s first honors college, Wu Yuzhang College, was officially established at Sichuan University. Xie Heping, president of Sichuan University, will serve as the honorary dean of Wu Yuzhang College. It was introduced at the listing ceremony that Sichuan University will select outstanding students from the students entering the school to study in the college. Students can enjoy "preferential treatment" in their chosen major. ... This time Wu Yuzhang College will merge the innovative classes and joint classes of Sichuan University. The college will be an honors college, with management rights directly vested in the school, parallel to other colleges. ... The school will select college students through examinations every year from high-scoring candidates and recommended students who apply for Sichuan University across the country. The annual enrollment accounts for about 1.5% of the school's total enrollment. The overall size of the college does not exceed 1,000 students." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Wu Yuzhang Honors College ( simplified Chinese : 吴玉章学院 ; traditional Chinese : 吳玉章學院 ) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Popo Dameron talk 02:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep (reluctantly): I would argue the sources provided establish notability, as there are several of them, they are independent, and the coverage seems to be significant in the few that I checked out. It's not the best article I've ever seen, and I really hate to give the creators of the software an eternal perch on one of the few reputable corners of the internet, but it meets our criteria for notability and verifiability. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk ) 02:56, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] In my opinion, in the best case, the article is, even if potentially notable, not ready for the main space and should be worked on as a draft. Most of what has been written is not usable and does not belong here at all. Popo Dameron talk 03:44, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Since the topic is covered by multiple sources, it does establish notability and verifiability. However, it is understandable that such a controversial, inflammatory, and possibly harmful topic could not be welcomed on the wiki. The article could either be left up so multiple people can correct, improve, and make sure the article just informs and does not promote the topic, or it could possibly be moved back into draft space and worked on until it meets the requirements and/or safety standards of those who would want to remove it. That way, we can make sure the wiki is not promoting this topic and people's concerns can be addressed by their contributions to the article. Targed ( talk ) 04:21, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Consider: this was a valuable and noteworthy social experiment. An AI was trained over a toxic environment, and reflected this toxicity. It's important to get a visceral sense of the potential dangers of AI, and Yannic's work did just that. As an analogy: YouTube censors harm, so you can find many videos of miraculous car accident-avoidances but no grizzly car accidents. This will give the viewer a false psychological sense that a miraculous escape is likely, while a grizzly accident is unlikely. So is this YouTube policy ultimately helpful or harmful? 2A0E:1D47:D201:6300:A83D:5A11:143E:127E ( talk ) 10:55, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Military history of the Republic of Artsakh: The article's content currently consists of duplicated content from its linked articles and doesn't have any original content from what I can tell. I'm not familiar with "Military history" articles but to me, I can't see the utility of this article. All of its current content is already covered in the main Republic of Artsakh article I think as well as its subarticles. Much of the history of Artsakh deals with "military history" as well so I'm not exactly sure what differentiates this from the main History of Artsakh article. Would like to others' thoughts on this though.

Dan the Animator 22:59, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Article needs improvement, but it fits into SUMMARYSTYLE well, I don't think stubbish really describes the article. This would fit as the parent article for the military history articles summarized and hatted in the article. Article lacks sources, but the needed refs are present in the child articles to show this meets GNG and fits into a reasonable SUMMARYSTYLE structure. I can see how this dups some content from the main Republic of Artsakh article, but this I think is a reason for improvement, not deletion. // Timothy :: talk 07:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : I think this could/should be developed, but it requires a proficiency in Armenian that I do not have, so I cannot really help there. With regards to the difference with the main article, well, I believe this one could deal with a lot of minutiae that are unsuitable for History of Artsakh (comments on military equipment, individual battles, etc.). It will need a lot of babysitting, though, as PoV wars are bound to happen. Ostalgia ( talk ) 08:02, 30 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment thanks y'all for the replies!

The Devil On Trial: Sorry about that. So, the user who created the page has been blocked on multiple accounts: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/সিডাটিভ হিপনোটিক্স . (per MushyYank request, stricken) This page, before I did digging on it, was purely promotional. I added several sources (incidentally, my additions were the reason the PROD was removed), but I don't think this passes WP:NFILM , in my understanding. It's possible that I'm not following something in the criteria that does make this notable, but I don't know that the documentary should have its own page. In reading the reviews, they focus mainly on the 1981 trial rather than on the film. Some of them mention The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It . One of them mentioned an older documentary that they said "did it better". I'm willing to dig for more sources if the community decides as a whole that it passes WP:NFILM . 1 might apply b/c there are reviews. But: its only claim to "historical notability" is its coverage of a historical event, of which it is not unique; I saw no indication that the film is up for any kind of award; as far as I know it hasn't been selected for preservation in a national archive; nor did I find any notice of it being taught in an accredited university's film program. As for the inclusionary criteria that aren't part of the top : it's not unique in any aspect of its production; there aren't any major film stars in it; and it was made by Netflix, so it doesn't fall under the third one. So, before I spend another several hours sussing out sources for something that, frankly, I stumbled over because of a CS1 error and was erroneously marked as AFI, I thought there should be consensus that it actually passes WP:NFILM . OIM20 ( talk ) 16:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and Crime . OIM20 ( talk ) 16:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : The film only needs to fit one of the criteria of WP:NFILM to demonstrate notability. (Otherwise, every film described on Wikipedia would have to win an award and be preserved in an archive, which is an absurdly high bar.) So the relevant measure here is that it's received multiple reviews. In this case, the combo of the Time article and the New York Times article are enough to demonstrate notability. Good job on rescuing the article! Toughpigs ( talk ) 17:04, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Understood. To clarify, I meant that the PROD I placed on it myself was removed because of the sources I had added in, before I put the PROD on it. The reason given for removing the PROD was only that there were a number of sources. From what you've said I understand that the reason was b/c of the reviews. And to be fair, the two you mention were included in the promotional piece it was before, though the NYT review does not say what the article creator claimed it said. Part of my concern stems from the fact that many of the reviews focus in a large part on the incident rather than on the film. I don't think I included many of those - it was wee hours for me and I've since closed those tabs. There were a lot of reviews, but not all of them from places that I think are considered RS. But thank you for explaining. Since it only needs two reviews and it has a number, I will try to focus my research on the production and casting areas, to get a better source than IMDB. OIM20 ( talk ) 18:09, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm confused. What's the reason advanced for deletion exactly? The film received multiple reviews, including 1 in the NYT . .... Strong keep . (I'm the one who deproDed the page, fwiw). - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 17:07, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I know you did. I'm not trying to be contrarian, though I'm sure it seems it. I really was thinking that this needed more than just reviews, so I misunderstood the criteria for NFILM. Not the first time I've misunderstood something. After I realized that the AFI was placed on the article erroneously, I looked into the article creator's talk page and found the note about them being a banned user. I realized when looking at the other pages in drafts listed on their talk page that they were posting promotional articles - which was what the other cleanup on the article you took care of (the sections I stopped at b/c I wasn't sure continuing would be worth the effort if it was just going to get nuked) were. Thank you for taking care of that. Thank you for your patience. I still consider myself relatively new. I'm trying to learn.

Two things, though: 1) the user who created the page has been blocked on multiple accounts: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/সিডাটিভ হিপনোটিক্স : no, I read the page and I'm sorry but that's not accurate. The page creator is NOT blocked and he says he's not the person in question. Can I ask you to strike that comment or to rephrase that bit of your rationale at the very least, please? 2) Did I understand your current position: you now think the film is notable, am I right? Would you consider withdrawing? It might save other contributors some time. Thank you. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) , 22:23, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, I'll withdraw - how do I do that?

The others are on the page already, with the exception of the Economic Times. I don't know that there's much more to add that isn't about the case itself, unless there's a review in that article. I can't read it- it pops up a "login to read" screen and then it very kindly doesn't give me a spot to do that, or to create an account. I'd like to have had a news article about the production process more, b/c I'd like to replace the one primary source for that. And I'd like to have something that lists the first two actors in the cast list other than the IMDB page, since that's a user edited site. But I didn't find either of those things.

Spanish Cobras: It has been edited almost exclusively by one IP editor (although their specific IPv6 has changed, all of them edit in the same pattern and time) since April 2020. Before that, it received little editorial attention. It has had a {{ more citations needed }} since February 2011. There are nearly no inline citations. It has nearly 0 sources to corroborate the majority of information in the article. Of the 4 that exist, only 1 is reliable and has significant coverage (Chicago Tribune). Attempts to find sources have failed, as nothing that I can find satisfies RS and also has coverage beyond 2 words (or 3). It also reads as a FORUM and is full of ultimately unverifiable information. If it does turn out to be notable, it would be far better to blow it up .

So there is WP:RSed coverage via newspapers.com and from the Schaumburg Police Department educational pamphlet on street gangs covers them.
Surely, any city police department with a gang unit would most likely have material on them. There is coverage in books. 1 , 2 , 3 and more. There's coverage in newspapers and here by a guy who says he's only interested in researching 20th century (street) gangs. In 2019 . They feature in arts and culture too, and the FBI 's got a file on them. Perennial crime coverage won't stop. So stay tuned for more to come, folks, as they are a "folk" gang, not a "people" gang. 4 , 5 , 6 , in 2023. United Gangs , Hour Detroit has brief mentions. Perhaps the article should be worked on.

Ptolus: The article does not even make clear what works the setting is composed of, outside am ambiguous section 'sources' listing three self-published books. 99% of the article is unreferenced plot summary (aka WP:FANCRUFT ), reception is only 1%, and said reception is composed of the claim that "It has received good reviews" sourced to two unreliable fan-reviews at WP:SPS sites (RPGnet and slashdot...). The only suggestion of notability in the article is the claim that the work won an ENnie Award (actually, according to that list, it won 4 - out of ~2 two dozen categories). Not sure if this award (awards) is sufficient to keep this (nothing in the article about the award suggests it is particularly significant for the gaming scene), my BEFORE shows nothing else that we can use as a source, so if we were to enforce WP:V we would be left with a substub catalogue entry and a sentence on ENies.

Canterbury Tail talk 04:32, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Canterbury Tail "top award in the roleplaying industry" - according to whom? This claim is not even in our article about the awards. I'd be happy to accept it if you can find a RS for this claim (and I encourage you to add it to the article). Which was prodded just last year ( [25] ), hardly encouraging thinking this is a major award. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 08:25, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep It actually won TWO Ennie awards, if you read the linked pdf. Slashdot and RPGnet are both longstanding sites (20+ years?) with editorial control, and the reviews are both posted by staff members, not random bloggers. So GNG is met--no objection to cleanup and expansion of the reception section, no objection to looking for and incorporating other coverage. I just don't see a good merge target: Monte Cook would be better than deletion, but that article needs to be buffed--the guy's been around the hobby since I started 40+ years ago, and worked on some major products. Jclemens ( talk ) 06:43, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'll ping @ VickKiang for 3O in the reliability of these, as he is experienced with them. However, Slashdot is a social news website where "Summaries of stories and links to news articles are submitted by Slashdot's own users". The article appears to be a blog ("Posted by Zonk"). Two RSN discusions do not suggest the site is seen as reliable ( 1 , 2 ). Ditto for RPGnet : "users have contributed numerous reviews of board and card games.". It is considered unreliable by Board games WP ( Wikipedia:WikiProject_Board_and_table_games/Sources#Unreliable ) and self-published in related RSN discussions: 1 , 2 . So right now I very much doubt we are meeting the requirement of being covered in-depth by reliable sources. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 08:22, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Users could submit anything to slashdot, but what got posted was decided by moderators. If Zonk posted it, Zonk was site staff at the time it was posted. Reviewing both sources, I don't see the discussion of other sources from those sites as normative: they read like RS'es, and I'm not accepting uncritically others' criticism of the sites.

Guinness323 ( talk ) 22:43, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep It being Christmas Eve, it may take me a few days to overhaul this article, but so far I have found a full page review in Coleção Dragon Slayer ; an interview with Cook about this setting in Polyhedron , a 3-page interview with Cook that delves into Ptolus in Coleção Dragão Brasil ; references to the game in Appelcline's Designers & Dragons ; a review in Inquest Gamer ; another review in RPG Review ; etc. Some of these will also be used in Cook's own wiki.

Somebodyidkfkdt ( talk ) 08:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and comment . Since the fall of 2023, The Film Creator has nominated 28 articles for deletion with only 3 closing as delete . That's pretty remarkable. Of the articles that were kept, half were kept speedily. This verges on a situation where The Film Creator should seriously consider if they should refrain from starting more AFDs. From the many film nominations, it can be widely observed that: (a) Rotten Tomatoes is useless in many cases. (b) The Film Creator is unable to find reviews that other users have little problems finding. Why is that? (c) The Film Creator should learn from these users, and maybe even contact them directly instead of wasting everyone's time with ill-conceived nominations. (d) Sure, the articles are improved through this process, but AFD is not cleanup. Geschichte ( talk ) 12:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per added sources.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:04, 21 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Of course it wasn't a speech, but he certainty made the news afterwards. He was there for his entertainment value. It was an Eastwood performance, what he does so well, this time at a political convention. It was possibly more remembered than anything else that happened at the convention that night. As such, he did what he was hired for, and had people talking about it for a long time afterwards. We're discussing it now. It's part of a series on Eastwood, and should remain as such. — Maile ( talk ) 15:20, 21 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep a very notable appearance which is still discussed years later. Lightburst ( talk ) 19:43, 21 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : WP:NOTNEWS is definitely a consideration, but there are sources from after the event: this one from over a year later , for instance. Also discussed in a biography of Eastwood here , and in a 2013 book looking retrospectively at the 2012 campaign here . To me, that's clear evidence that the notability of this event is more than that of a news story, even leaving aside the huge number of 2012 sources in the article.

Cantref Arfon: The topic may or may not be notable (my BEFORE gives some passing mentions, but maybe something more could be found), but I fear what we have needs WP:TNT , given the lack of sources. WP:V is a major concern, as is the possibility of WP:HOAXex or at least pure WP:OR in this.

Though I do wonder, if there should just be an Arfon article which may be easier to justify and source hopefully. Dank Jae 18:20, 18 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : this is notable as a historical district. Its existence and approximate borders are confirmed by the RCAHMW . [45] Even though the sourcing is minimal at present, it is very probable that reliable sources do exist, possibly some of the sources cited in Cantref . Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Reasons for deletion includes Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed - have such attempts been made? For the most part, the article does not appear to present original research, and presents material that is supported the the geography and history of the area, and are often (possibly always) supported by other articles. While citations should be given in the article where the statements are made, this requirement is widely unmet and this is not an adequate reason for an article to be deleted. Verbcatcher ( talk ) 20:21, 18 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Moreover , the Find sources links at the top of this discussion for 'books', 'news' and 'scholar' all give potential sources.

Historiography of Indigenous genocide: This is sort of an essay, the contents of which is just describing what approximately 10 different sources said about Genocide of Indigenous peoples , there is no real distinct topic here.

Nera Corsi: I've previously AFD'd their pages. This particular page is more complex, as the hoax creator has crafted it deceptively. They have mashed up various sources that mention the subject's name, added historical images, and done everything possible to make it difficult to easily verify the authenticity of the claims. After checking the cited sources, I found that some of them do not support the facts stated in the article. Some sources, such as [43] , don't even mention the subject at all. I also checked Wikipedia Library and couldn't find any organized or in-depth source detailing her life. It appears that a person named Nera Corsi did exist in the 15th century, but they did not lead the life described in this article. In summary, this is a hoax article that combines sources and images mentioning the subject's name to create a veneer of legitimacy but is filled with misinformation and fabricated stories. Even if the subject was notable, this article cannot be relied upon as factual due to its pervasive inaccuracies. As per new findings, I'm withdrawing this nom. But I'd still question the notability of the subject, agreeing with User:3 kids in a trenchcoat 's opinions regarding the subject's notability. X ( talk ) 09:43, 14 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women , Royalty and nobility , and Italy . WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 11:51, 14 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : So I've only done a fairly cursory search, and only in English, but just about everything in the article checks out. This book from 2018 says on page 20 that Nera's tomb is "the only extant independent, fifteenth-century tomb for a married woman in Florence", which is probably her main claim to significance. On page 132 the author says that "the function of the Sassetti Chapel was to house the tombs of Francesco Sassetti and his wife Nera Corsi", and a caption on page 133 dates her tomb specifically to 1485. Pages 31 and 32 also briefly talk about her portrayal in Domenico Ghirlandaio 's portrait of her, but this isn't really relevant to the article. Then this book from 2000 and this one from 1981 (only available in snippet view) both briefly describe Nera's tomb and note that its decoration appears to be a pun on her name; they don't say anything about her life, but they at least corroborate the image gallery currently in the article, so it's not a hoax. This book , which is cited in the article, was the last source I checked, but I'm putting it here because most of what the article says about Nera's life is in here. It shows her in a family tree of the Sassetti family, with dates of birth, death, and marriage for her and her children. It doesn't really seem to say anything else about her, though. So it seems that the first three sentence-paragraphs in the "life" section of the article are sourced from basically a chart. It's not a bad source; it's good for establishing the dates of birth and death and whatnot, but I don't think it's really a significant mention. I could also find some other (prose, non-chart) information about her life in other sources: this book (first page of chapter 11; I can't see the page number] briefly mentions that she was 15 years old when she married Francesco Sassetti in 1458 (he was apparently 37 years old then, ewww) and that she came from a prominent Florentine family that was "also closely allied with the Medici". This book from 1990 , on the other hand, says her family came from Fiesole , so I'm not sure which is more accurate. Finally, this website I see that her son Teodoro apparently died in 1478 and then she gave birth to a second son also named Teodoro a few months later. I'm not sure that this site really constitutes a good source, though. So the bulk of Nera's current article can be traced back to sources that predate the article's creation. The only parts I could not verify are (A) the claim that her tomb is "the only woman's tomb not only in Florence but in all of Italy from the 15th century", which seems like a massive overstating of what Maria DePrano said (which I quoted above); (B) the immediately following claim that her tomb has become "a historical and cultural landmark", which probably applies more to the Sassetti Chapel as a whole than her tomb specifically; and (C) some of the specifics about her family, like her father being a powerful banker or her being born in Florence. Most of the article's last paragraph I also didn't bother checking, but it's mostly background about the chapel's construction and it can probably also be verified, possibly already in DePrano's book. So the article is not a hoax, but I'm not sure if it meets notability guidelines. "The only extant independent, fifteenth-century tomb for a married woman in Florence" seems like an overly-narrow qualifier to me, and none of the sources contains much more than a trivial mention of Nera herself. It's mostly related to her tomb, or to the painting of her, or her marriage and family. While I would personally rather see the article kept, I think a merge into the Sassetti Chapel article would probably make the most sense. However, I'm not sure what the notability guidelines are for 15th-century Italian noblewomen, and she may satisfy those. I also haven't checked any Italian-language sources, and those might have a more in-depth biography of her. -- 3 kids in a trenchcoat ( talk ) 05:04, 18 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep -- This article is most decidedly not a hoax. Talk about a failure of WP:BEFORE . Even a cursory search on Google Scholar or JSTOR would reveal that much. There are dozens of high quality sources.

Although its URL has always been scitechdaily.com, the site was originally called Sci Tech Daily Review ; it is currently called SciTechDaily (one word) but the name appears variously as SciTech Daily or Sci Tech Daily , making the search for coverage trickier than it may seem at first. Coverage establishing notability include the 1999 review in The Independent which rated Sci Tech Daily as "the best science news site" at the time – better than Science Daily , The New Scientist and Scientific American , "if you [could] accept its perfunctory design". More recently, there was an in-depth review in CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries in 2015 , which briefly covers the history of SciTechDaily ; describes its format; and analyzes its content in comparison with Science Daily , noting that "SciTechDaily appears to edit sources more heavily for readability and publishes fewer articles overall and so may be preferred by those who find ScienceDaily overwhelming". The fact that it was nominated for a Webby led to a 2002 article in USA Today , about how the founder and her business partner set off 1,000 rockets in New Zealand to celebrate. There are many other reviews and articles recommending scitechdaily.com in newspapers such as The Courier Mail in Brisbane (2002) and The New York Times (1998) and again in 2000 ; industry trade publications such as Design News (2000) ; and academic journal articles such as The Lancet in 2000 .

Polygnotus ( talk ) 00:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep: Delete: Keep : (Article was rewritten to include good sources and have better writing; see Cunard's comment) The one vote for keep by @ Philg88 on the previous nomination, and his point that there are good citations, simply that they are chinese, which is completely fine, is valid. I agree that the article is very poorly written, and has some sounding-like-an-ad issues, but this doesn't automatically mean it should be blown up, just that it needs some rewriting. (good) Citations not being in English and poor or non-encyclopedic writing do not exempt an article from passing NORG. Flemmish Nietzsche ( talk ) 13:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Flemmish Nietzsche : So you believe that anyone can dump a very low quality article on the English Wikipedia, and we should never get rid of the trash because in theory it could be improved (despite the fact that no one has even after 3351 days)? You pinged Philg88 but they have not edited in the last 1780 days. That is not logical. Do you understand Chinese? If so, please improve the article. If not, how are you so sure that it passes NORG? You would need more than a quick Google Translate to judge the reliability of a source. Polygnotus ( talk ) 14:45, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Obviously not. While this article has some bad writing and promotional material, there is plenty of salvageable content — saying an article is badly written alone is not a good argument. If an article has enough good content to the extent that it would be able to remain on its own if the promotional content were removed, the article should not be deleted in its entirety. (if it would not be deleted under G11 ) And no, I don't understand Chinese, but while Chinese sources may only exist for the company itself, when doing a search for the term there's plenty of English-language sources about the horticulture method itself rather than the company that started the concept, which the article's main topic could certainly shift to. Flemmish Nietzsche ( talk ) 19:07, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weird, I don't see plenty of salvageable content . Or any. In an AfD, when saying that there's plenty of English-language sources it would be helpful to actually list them. And perhaps then we can incorporate information from those alleged sources into the article. And get rid of the current content. So do you believe that when someone writes a very low quality article we should not delete it and should be forced to rewrite it instead? What if we don't want to write an article about that topic? What if the article is actually about a non-notable organization and not about a horticulture method? If someone wants to write an article about a horticultural method it would be better to start fresh. Which search engine are you using? I use Google and I can't find evidence of any horticultural method called Serene Oasis. Polygnotus ( talk ) 19:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Sorry, didn't see this until now, but no, as I said before, a poorly written article does not deserve to be rewritten to be a good article just because someone created it. I wasn't really saying we have to rewrite the article at all, just remove the content relating to the company rather than the horticulture method. There's a sample of what this might look like on my sandbox , and of the sources mentioning a serene oasis I saw, (originally using Searx but this time using Google) most were just non-reliable blogs, but there are at least two here: [9] [10] Flemmish Nietzsche ( talk ) 02:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Flemmish Nietzsche : Thank you. I think I understand now; what you describe is not a horticultural method. It is a form of therapy called horticulture therapy . But we already have an article about that. The Chinese characters near the start of the article, 基督教家庭服務中心, translate to "Christian Family Service Center" and not "Serene Oasis". Polygnotus ( talk ) 09:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I know it's not a horticultural method, it says in the lead that it is a method of horticulture therapy. The use of the two sources I provided were really dependent on whether or not the article would stick to the primary topic of the company rather than the horticulture therapy method; the SCMP source would of course be for if it were not rewritten. I wasn't able to find any additional sources on the Hong Kong company itself though, so for sake of not wanting to argue more, I'll say to just blow it all up and someone can start the article over as being about the horticulture therapy method if they wish. Flemmish Nietzsche ( talk ) 09:48, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : A fabric distributor/art shop and an AirBnB using this name are what I can find in my search. What's used now for sourcing in the article isn't acceptable, sources 4 and 9 are red per Cite Highlighter, so non-RS. Rest isn't helping much either. We could perhaps draft this, but if it's not been worked on in the last decade after being tagged, drafting won't help. Oaktree b ( talk ) 15:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Keep : @ Flemmish Nietzsche : May I request for some potential Chinese sources? Philg88 simply mentioned that there were Chinese sources in the previous AFD, but provided none as example. I just did a search in Chinese (I can read Chinese) but nothing came up. I could only find some sources with glancing mentions of the Christian Family Service Centre (including several from unreliable sources like Epoch Times ), and none of them have mentioned this Serene Oasis garden thing. Meanwhile, the SCMP source you raised is fine, but the Fine Gardening one doesn't seem like referring to the subject of this article (a therapeutic garden opened by the Christian Family Service Centre in Hong Kong), it is about something else.

Recipients can touch the plants, and some plants such as mint and herbs can be picked and eaten on the spot to satisfy their taste buds.

Cunard ( talk ) 11:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Cunard : Are you willing to turn this into a decent Wikipedia article? Because the current content is so bad that the notability question is moot; it should still be deleted per WP:TNT . No one has bothered trying to improve the article in many years. If you are willing and able to improve it it should be userfied. I have added a collapse template to increase readability. Polygnotus ( talk ) 11:32, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Oh, I get it. The Chinese translation name in the article is wrong, it should be 心靈綠洲. No wonder why I could only find sources in English. Anyway, I took a look at the sources with linked articles Cunard provided, the Oriental Daily News and Hong Kong Inmedia ones are interviews of the Service Centre's staff and look like advertisements. I also think that Polygnotus has made a point, the article was left unattended for about nine years, and the current quality is low. Perhaps we can consider draftifying it? — Prince of Erebor ( The Book of Mazarbul ) 18:14, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yeah the Chinese characters near the start of the article, 基督教家庭服務中心, translate to "Christian Family Service Center" and not "Serene Oasis" for some reason. I am not sure if the Christian Family Service Center is notable. Polygnotus ( talk ) 18:36, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Prince of Erebor : I think I found a trick: search google for: site:cfsc.org.hk +"media coverage" Perhaps some of those can be used when working on the draft? Polygnotus ( talk ) 18:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: Draftifying is not a good option because draftspace has lower visibility than mainspace. In draftspace, it likely would be deleted under G13. Abandoned drafts and Articles for creation submissions . This article (and many other Chinese articles) have been in such a poor state because there are not enough English Wikipedia editors with the interest and Chinese-language skills to improve them. Wikipedia:Systemic bias discusses this, noting that As a result of systemic bias , Wikipedia underrepresents the perspectives of people in the Global South , which includes Hong Kong. Prince of Erebor ( talk · contribs ), Polygnotus ( talk · contribs ), Flemmish Nietzsche ( talk · contribs ), and Oaktree b ( talk · contribs ), I rewrote the article as it looks to be headed for deletion if I did not rewrite it. It took me 90 minutes to find these sources and three hours to rewrite the article. In total, this is 4.5 hours I spent on this article. This is time that I had been planning to spend on participating in other AfDs and writing a new article on a topic that interests me. Cunard ( talk ) 00:25, 26 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Great job.

I suggest a waiting until the merges are done (which should remove 20-or-so weak articles), consolidating what's there into one place where it can be improved.

Is the nominator's argument that there are no RS that discuss Lucky Luke as a whole? If that's the case, that seems trivial to establish.

Esculenta ( talk ) 19:17, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:NSPECIES says: Species that have a correct name (botany) or valid name (zoology) are generally kept. Their names and at least a brief description must have been published in a reliable academic publication to be recognized as correct or valid. Because of this, they generally survive AfD. As of 2022, no officially named species listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Organisms has been deleted since at least mid-2016. Eastmain ( talk • contribs ) 19:47, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That's not a policy or guideline, and "species articles are kept because they're kept at AfD" is a circular deletion rationale not based on any policy. JoelleJay ( talk ) 20:00, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:NSPECIES is not a policy, but a sentence describing common outcomes of species' articles at AfD, and is thus a circular argument that shouldn't be used to keep the article ("this article should be kept because species article are usually kept). Now what policy-based arguments are there for keeping this article that does not meet WP:SIGCOV ? Esculenta ( talk ) 20:03, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Procedural close as this is nomination is strictly to prove a point . JoelleJay ( talk ) 20:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] What policy-based arguments are there for keeping this article that does not meet WP:SIGCOV? Esculenta ( talk ) 20:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Procedural close per JoelleJay. (Incidentally – keep, as it summarizes valuable information for the reader. This is Wikipedia's key purpose: to be an encyclopedia. This article is encyclopedic; and it is not excluded by WP:NOT , therefore it is notable.) Cremastra ( talk ) 20:09, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Can no-one answer this: What policy-based arguments are there for keeping this article that does not meet WP:SIGCOV? Per WP:Encyclopedic : "Information should not be included solely because it is true or useful. " Esculenta ( talk ) 20:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That's not what I said. Cremastra ( talk ) 20:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] What's not what you said? You called the article "encyclopedic". How you and I might define the word "encyclopedic" may be different, so I went to WP:Encyclopedic , and quoted a sentence from that page to counter your argument of it being "encyclopedic". Now back to the important question for this AfD: What policy-based arguments are there for keeping this article that does not meet WP:SIGCOV? Esculenta ( talk ) 20:37, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] In this case, a single article in a reliable academic publication constitutes significant coverage. Applying standards meant for athletes and movie actors to taxa would damage the encyclopedia, not help it. Eastmain ( talk • contribs ) 21:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Where is this exemption to normal WP:SIGCOV rules for species written down as policy? Esculenta ( talk ) 21:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Policies are made for the encyclopedia, and not the encyclopedia for the policies. Crossroads -talk- 21:35, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] So there is no WP:SIGCOV exemption for species? Esculenta ( talk ) 21:48, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , this is encyclopedic, and WP:NSPECIES is good. Also, seems to be WP:POINT . Crossroads -talk- 21:35, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:NSPECIES appears to be bad, as it doesn't address cases like these, which lack enough sigcov to warrant inclusion in this encyclopedia. Still not seeing any policy-based rationale to keep this article. Esculenta ( talk ) 21:50, 25 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Eastmain.

From WP:TOOSOON : "Generally speaking, the various notability criteria that guide editors in creating articles require that the topic being considered be itself verifiable in independent secondary reliable sources."

Fatal System Error: Most sources in the article are by the author of the book. Only the New Yorker review ( [14] ) seems significant and independent. The CSO Online article ( [15] ) is about (some of) the same events Fatal System Error covers, but doesn't mention Fatal System Error at all and was written five years before the book was published (it also is invalid as a citation for what it's claiming since the article mentions Lyon and Maksakov only; note for anyone reviewing this source that the original is offline and the archive is across 20 independent short pages). The best other source I was able to find was a 2013 TechCrunch article about Lyon ( [16] ) which only mentions the book in passing. All in all I don't see enough independent coverage of the book here to build an encyclopedia article out of. It may be appropriate to redirect this to Barrett Lyon , the subject of the book, as an alternative to deletion (if this is done the incoming redirect from Joseph Menn , the author of the book, should be deleted, not retargeted).

A weaker case than some of the other governors of Judaea, but there's likely potential for expansion. The lack of material on him isn't due to his being non-notable, but due to a paucity of records about his administration, due either to the nature of record-keeping and history during this period, or the loss of material over the passage of time.

On the other hand, they still answer to orders from the Attorney General, and can be fired by the administration that appointed them in the first place.

Invading Invader ( userpage , talk ) 00:18, 27 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Did compete at Ethiopia's first Olympics (see [49] and [50] ), so the claim is technically correct. Notability is a different matter, however. BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 00:45, 27 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Some coverage from this source (translated): In seventh place, and therefore last, in this heat came the Ethiopian Neggousse Roba , who had also participated, again in the 100 metres, in the Melbourne Games, also finishing last in the second heat of the first round. Why do we care about Neggousse Roba, 11.0 sprinter? We would like to remember him because, once his competitive activity was over, Neggousse began his career as a coach and in this capacity achieved glory and fame that had been denied him by his less than excellent skills as a sprinter. Neggousse stopped competing after the Rome Games and immediately began taking care of compatriot Abebe Bikila whom he guided to a second marathon gold medal in Tokyo. He was also a valuable guide and coach to two other cross-country greats, Mamo Wolde and Miruts Yifter . BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 00:51, 27 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Aha! Negousse seems to be better known by the name "Negussie Roba" and is considered one of the greatest coaches in his country's history: MEDIAEthiopa has an article here on him that calls him the "sensational national coach [who] is widely acknowledged as the man behind the success of every Ethiopian long-distance runner from the Mexico City Olympics all the way to the Moscow Olympics in 1980" and notes that "Ethiopia will always remember this fine coach for the pride he brought to his people." The Sydney Morning Herald also has an article that is arguably significant coverage and there appears to be plenty of other mentions of him in modern media, and this is all without access to newspapers of the time in his country. Will expand the article.

Jax (Mortal Kombat): The character is never really discussed in any significant enough capacity, and while mentioned in the context of black representation/stereotyping in gaming, that's solely it: mentions. Nothing in depth to really build an article around and not enough for SIGCOV. While there was a controversy about his ending in MK11, what articles are there don't talk about his character but more a synopsis of it and then a brief mention of people's overreaction. It can be summed up better as part of public reception towards MK11. With that said, what's here in the article's body is a lot of listicles that also barely cover the character, and a lot more that focus on gameplay of a particular title. There's not emphasis on why Jax is important as a character outside of MK and barely within the context of MK.

Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 16:50, 23 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I found one or two scholars discussing the character but getting access to such articles is a pain. Apparently, Wikipedia gives us access to such sources but I often have problems entering there. This book goes in depth about the franchise but I couldn't mind any narrative mention of Jax other than this University of Michigan Press "Jax was instead introduced in MKII as a Special Forces major attempting to rescue Sonya from captivity by Shao Kahn. Although Sonya and Kano ironically proved the least-selected char-acters in MKI, Midway’s decision to include a sexualized female char-acter (likely inspired by SFII’s Chun-Li) over a heavily muscled Black character—effectively treating femaleness and Blackness as superficially interchangeable nods to “diversity”—may have been motivated as a broader appeal to heterosexual male gamers than to the smaller contin-gent of nonwhite American gamers.Meanwhile, some early critics of Mortal Kombat claimed that the games reinforced stereotypes of nonwhite (and especially East Asian) ethnicities." This Portuguese analysis which compares MK2 Jax with MK3 Jax. Universidade Federal de Goiás [ https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/60588788.pdf The buck is the most prevalent portrayal of the black male body in video games. Mainstream media have forged a stereotypical image of blacks as inhuman savages with
supernatural strength. In an article titled, “Black Characters in Video Games Must Be More Than
Stereotypes of the Inhuman”, Sidney Fussell describes how black video game characters are
placed in games for the sake of diversity. Most representations of black males tend to be uniform
in the sense that they usually wear clothing that emphasizes their physical strength. Some
characters such as Final Fantasy VII’s Barrett or Mortal Kombat’s Jax, have cybernetic
enhancements that further perpetuates and emphasizes their physical strength, further
contributing to their buck-ness University Carbondale This goes : "The first ever exhibition of crude violence in video games could be Custer‘s Revenge, in which the player supposedly 'rapes' a native American woman. However it was Mortal
Kombat which first presented realistic bloody violence. “Jax grabs his opponent‟s arms,
holds them up over their head, and then—with a squish—he jams them all the way into their
body so only the hands are visible. He takes a moment to light a cigar. He grabs his
opponent‟s mouth and rips the head in half. He puts out his cigar on the tongue as blood
gurgles out. " University of Calcutta. There might be more.

Hongsy ( talk ) 05:04, 26 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Taxonomy is a little confused due to synonymy and subgenus ( Tinkhamia hamulata , Tinkhamia hamulata hamulata , Yimnashana (Tinkhamia) hamulata hamulata ...) but appears to be valid, and present in the sources we usually take as reliable [24] [25] [26] . -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs ) 07:02, 26 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organisms and China . Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 09:19, 26 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I have no idea why Hongsy claims it doesn't have a valid name. As the BioLib entry makes clear, it was first described as Tinkhamia hamulata and then transferred to the genus Yimnashana , where Tinkhamia may be treated as a subgenus. Peter coxhead ( talk ) 08:16, 27 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I've now added information from the original paper that transferred the species from Tinkhamia to Yimnashana .

Beloit and Madison Railroad: On January 17, a one-sentence AfC draft was submitted and rejected. | speedy keep |
Maghāriya: The main source currently supporting it, the Jewish Virtual Library, is unreliable, and itself covers it in a listicle. The only other mentions of the subject anywhere are extremely trivial, typically just mentioned in a list alongside other minor sects, such as in the in this source . This does not provide any scope for the meaningful expansion of the topic, which ultimately fails to establish its notability due to the sheer triviality of its coverage. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 10:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Withdrawn by nominator: Suitable and verifiable supporting tertiary sourcing was found. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 06:15, 15 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History and Judaism . Iskandar323 ( talk ) 10:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . This is page has a subject that has no potential to grow beyond a stub. How can you possibly know that? Sects of major religions are certainly notable. Sourcing is sparse, but sufficient. -- Necrothesp ( talk ) 10:39, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Necrothesp : What source have you found that suggests otherwise? The only source with substantial coverage is an unreliable one. Every other mention I have seen is in trivial list form. What sources have you found that establish WP:GNG , and offer the possibility of anything more than a perpetual stub? Iskandar323 ( talk ) 10:42, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Some religions have hundreds if not thousands of minor sects. I fail to see how the blanket inclusion of sects, no matter how minor or unheard of, actually conforms with the notability guidelines. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 10:50, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The source you claim to be unreliable itself lists a number of sources. Have you checked all of these? -- Necrothesp ( talk ) 11:52, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I've checked the legible 1967 one, and it fails verification. I haven't delved much into the foreign language 19th-century sources or those simply without any titles (or pages) at all. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 12:01, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , it's not a major topic, but a Google books search brings up quite a lot of mentions, other encyclopaedic works have chosen to give them at least some mention, and I don't think we should delete based on the idea that the sources are in foreign languages and/or 18th century; some fields of research evolve slowly, and there is no obligation to publish knowledge in English. There is also some discussion of them half way down this blog-thread at earlywritings.com [47] where more sources might also be gleaned by a future editor. They're not huge, but it looks to me as though they have their small and documented corner of theological history, and we should reflect that. Elemimele ( talk ) 12:59, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The first source on the blog is the same as the Jewish Virtual Library material, which appears to be plagiarized from the Encyclopaedia Judaica given the presence of disembodied and unlinked notes such as (For the modern period see *Subbotniki; *Somrei Sabat.) . However, if this is the case, it would seem to suggest that there is a solid Encyclopaedia Judaica entry, though obviously taking the word of a plagiarizing unreliable source on the matter is itself a dubious proposition. The second source interestingly presents a different spelling, the Magarites, for what would appear to be the same group, although no source I can find seems to mention both names in tandem, making it WP:SYNTH -y to assume they are the same. There are certainly a few other snippets of information floating around the internet, if not yet really tied together by any modern source into a cohesive secondary analysis. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 15:19, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The Jewish Virtual Library page doesn't plagiarize the Encyclopaedia Judaica, it explicitly states that it's reproducing the Encyclopedia Judaica : "Source: Encyclopaedia Judaica. © 2008 The Gale Group. All Rights Reserved." We shouldn't have ended up at AFD for this. Jahaza ( talk ) 21:02, 15 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's an unreliable source, so it cannot be relied upon to faithfully reproduce anything, even when it is claiming to breach the copyright of material it has no rights to (a problem in its own right, and a reason why gunrel may actually be overly generous for the JVL). The lack of any guarantee of information fidelity is sort of the point with unreliable sources. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 21:15, 15 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Once you knew that there might be an Encyclopaedia Judaica article, you should have looked for it before listing it for deletion. The article is available in a free and properly licensed version from Encyclopedia.com [48] . You could have easily discovered this by visiting the Encyclopaedia Judaica Wikipedia page. This is not the first time you've listed Judaism topics for deletion that turn out to have major reference work coverage. Jahaza ( talk ) 03:29, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Jahaza WP:AGF - useful information that since 2022 much of the 2007 edition is at encyclopedia.com - useful information that you could have easily delivered in a civil way. Try that next time. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 04:14, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . If necessary, can be merged to Jewish religious movements . But I don't really see a problem with short articles. All good encyclopedias have them. Note that Google distinguishes beween ā and a. Srnec ( talk ) 20:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: It turns out that there is a Jewish Encyclopedia entry for this , which is a tertiary public domain source that can serve as an adequate anchor for the page to replace the unreliable JVL. Given that this source exists, it's surprising that it was not used in the first place. I will now be withdrawing the nomination. Iskandar323 ( talk ) 06:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - This article is solid (if short). It does not meet any criteria in WP:DEL-REASON .

Espresso Addict ( talk ) 23:27, 25 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Nomination reason seems ridiculous. Is nominating for deletion is the procedure to deal with articles having NPOV issues. I don't think it is. Use appropriate tags instead or try to clean the mess up. The subject has received coverage from international medias such as BBC and CNBC [8] . Why should BBC cover about a rogue elephant from India if it is not that much important. This elephant is the subject of an upcoming Malayalam movie which is under pre-production. This itself implies the importance of this elephant. Besides there are plenty of coverage to meet Wikipedia's notability standards. 111.92.124.104 ( talk ) 04:44, 26 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - extensive media coverage is available; but by all means roll this back to a non-embarassing state. The version suggested above by Uncle G seems reasonable. There seems to be a year-long three-sided skirmish going on at the article about who can add the most cringeworthy POV material, that has to stop. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs ) 08:49, 26 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Raquel Evita Saraswati: It's possible that this issue might arise again in 2023. This AfD might have occurred at some point anyway, given the nature of the topic. I think she has now achieved sufficient notability, and we can write based on what reliable sources say, regardless of the subject's wishes. In my research, I found numerous in-depth references in reliable sources such as The Intercept , Philadelphia Magazine , Philadelphia Inquirer , USA Today , and The Juggernaut . Skeus ( talk ) 16:40, 25 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I think Intercept and USA Today give clear GNG; subject is not a private figure and quite regularly participates in public events and speaks to the media. That said, we should be quite careful about the other sources, like the Metro, in the article with clearly biased headlines. I think there may be something to say about stubbifying the article.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:00, 12 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Oh. Wow. The nomination is beyond inappropriate. It is not accurate. It needs to be withdrawn by the nominator or at the very least part of it stricken. I said she meets WP: CREATIVE #3 when I created the article. She exceeds that. We've got coverage of her education, career, personal life. That coverage is in both Contemporary Authors and Something about the Author , which are beyond independent of her--they are 2 of the most respected publications in the field. We have where she's lived and some of what she's accomplished. We have how many links to reviews, some of them starred reviews , further satisfying CREATIVE #3? What is it you are not seeing @ A loose necktie ? Do you want to know where she went to high school, her date of birth (which many authors and others keep private for identity security reasons and which is irrelevant to notability)? The article is also lacking her hair color, eye color, height, and political and religious beliefs. Do you envision The Atlantic or CNN going into which Beatle or New Kid or Backstreet Boy was her favorite when she was a teen? Or do you think stub articles on notable women authors and academics should not exist? DiamondRemley39 ( talk ) 09:33, 12 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wow. It sounds like you are looking for a fight.

That's okay. Mischaracterizing sources and scope of the article in a nomination statement is a problematic. Problematic nomination statements should, can, and will be called out.

Director Lee took his inspiration from the creepy painting Nightmare (1781) by Swiss-born artist Fuseli and thus the film (like Wu's central character) charts a course somewhere between clarity and confusion. Being an independent effort made with a limited budget, the film at times suffers from the restraints inherit to this kind of production. And that is something to which Wu readily admits. ... For Hong Kong audiences, Night Corridor might be about as non-commercial as you can get - it touches on homo-erotica, as well paedophilia, and comes with a Category III restriction. Wu is under no illusions about the audience the film might attract, or of its place in the whole scheme of things here." Pei, Ya 皮亞.

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 12:00, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I believe this is notable after all: Vom Artushof zum Palast der Saelde , p. 33-35 has two-and-a-half pages discussing Dagobah in the context of Joseph Campbell 's hero's journey ; Myth, Media, and Culture in Star Wars: An Anthology , p. 38-39, is very similar if shorter; " Wizards and Jedi: A Comparative Analysis: Between Merlin and Mentors in Star Wars " compares Dagobah to a location of an Arthurian story; and there are shorter mentions, like " 'From sequel to quasi-novelization: 'Splinter of the mind’s eye' and the 1970s culture of transmedia contingency’ " with a piece of creative background. Daranios ( talk ) 15:19, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I am not seeing much about the planet itself. Plot summaries, yes, but analysis? And let me note that stuff like "A prototype of Luke's symbolic experiences in the Dagobah cave appears in Kurosawa's Drunken Angel" is not about Dagobah but about Luke Skywalker. Luke is notable, but not all places he adventured at are. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 09:37, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] And while you are right that "Wizards..." compares Dagobah to a location of an Arthurian story, this comparison is one-two sentences long. Maybe three-four if we are being generous. SIGCOV is a problem. If there is not much else to say than "Dagobah has been compared to location associated with Merlin from Arthurian myths", this is good stuff to mention in a list - we don't need a dedicated article for a sentence of analysis. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 09:40, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I cannot read the German text, if you think lenghtier analysis is presented there, I'd ask you to summarize it here (and after that, add it to the article).

Despite Dagobah being hostile to life, this planet is suitable like no other to influence the progression of the hero through its spacial conception, being remote and full of untouced-untamed nature.... isolated place of power. George Lucas means Dagobah as a place removed from distraction by human civilization to help to focus Luke's individual power and where he has to learn to face his own fears...connection to nature on the planet connects with original energies of the galaxy connects with individual power. This connection of location and plot goes back to anciend creation myths via medieval texts. Daranios ( talk ) 10:51, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] And another secondary source, Interpreting Star Wars: Reading a Modern Film Franchise , p. 85-86, 91, does analogous analysis - Dagobah "fits well" as place to where the hero retreats "from society to a world of more primal symbols where he must conquer his own darkenss" from Campbell's schema - and has additional commentary: "richly constructed a semiotic environment", the Dagobah set evoking "the forest of our subconscious and the jungle of the mind"; "...the dark swamp infested by reptiles is our unconsciousness...", "no other environment attempts such imagery as Dagobah is constructed of"; "Dagobah would also come to be the basis for ... the notion that the film constitutes a form of mythology". Out-of-universe comments on the Dagobah set are strewn through a few sources, like Star Wars FAQ . So together in my view there is plenty enough material to fullfill WP:WHYN .
