Treujenn-gaol : WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 16:55, 7 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I added some text and references from the corresponding article in German.

Armin van Buuren: In the Mix : Instead of PRODing, I've brought to AfD as there are some sources that I found in my search, and I think it would benefit from a community discussion before deletion. The sources that I've found are noted below: GameSpot (a reliable source per WP:VG/RS has an extensive preview of the game here ( [51] ). The press release about the creation of the game is covered in a number of blog posts from reliable sources. ( [52] , [53] , [54] ) There is no coverage in any sources I searched for in Newspapers.com or Newsbank, and absolutely no coverage of the released game. This Wii music game just doesn't meet our mark.

Nomader ( talk ) 03:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Nomination withdrawn. Per source finds from Zxcvbnm , Timur9008 and Mika1h , this nomination was pre-mature and the sources easily pass WP:GNG . Nomader ( talk ) 19:06, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep As you are likely aware, foreign-language sources are admissible in the Wikipedias of other languages, and I found this review in GameZone which covers the "multiple sources with significant coverage" criterion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 05:42, 17 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I also found a preview in Gamer.nl , so I am changing it to a normal "Keep" ! vote. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 05:45, 17 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] One note to your foreign language comments -- they're not only admissible in the Wikipedias of other languages, but they're also obviously admissible here, and I'm a bit embarrassed that I missed the mark following the steps of WP:BEFORE on this nomination in my sources search. On the sources themselves, if I were an uninvolved editor coming around and a WP:THREE argument was a GameSpot preview, a GameZone review, and a Gamer.nl preview, I'd be inclined to say Weak Keep and I'm strongly considering withdrawing the nomination right now. I'm going to sleep on it before I do. Nomader ( talk ) 05:33, 18 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Nomader : See also the Eurogamer and other source found below, I think this is a clear withdraw as there is not a snowball's chance in Hell it will be deleted at this point. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 18:55, 20 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment probably a potential source [55] . I've checked the game developer's website and publisher's webiste for reviews but there is nothing there. Timur9008 ( talk ) 15:40, 17 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I’m not sure if this should be kept but I believe there is a viable place to redirect this to if there is a a consensus against having an article.

Tribe (Philippine TV series) : Donald D23 talk to me 01:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Added some sources, and I think that this show is notable because it was one of Net 25's (the network's) most popular shows for children and teens. Also, I think it's impressive that it was consistently being recognized as a source for family-friendly, informative entertainment. D-Flo27 ( talk ) 06:00, 22 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Lawrence Sebalu : Yes, he may be the Minister of Finance, but I'm failing to find SIGCOV of this individual. All I can see is passing mentions. Probably not notable just like his successors. dxneo ( talk ) 00:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People , Politicians , Africa , and Uganda . dxneo ( talk ) 00:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Subject passes WP:NPOL as a finance minister, and a perfunctory Google search as well as a search on newspapers.com ( [59] ) shows quite a few sources which can be used to sustain an article ( WP:NEXIST ). Curbon7 ( talk ) 01:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Having sources unreachable is not a genuine reason. Subject is not the current but was a finance minister soon after independence which I hope in the days was notable. A quick Google search on books brings lots of recorded books, see here , here and here . This shows that subject passes WP:GNG / WP:NPOL - Tumbuka Arch ( talk ) 01:22, 14 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Withdraw the nomination : per recent article improvement. Word to Tumbuka Arch , I would suggest that next time if an article is moved to draftspace, it must not be moved back to mainspace without convincing improvements that it passes WP:NBIO as WP:BLP is a very delicate subject which requires strong sourcing. I couldn't verify the notability of the subject based on an unreachable source and blog source. dxneo ( talk ) 02:18, 14 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I concur with Dxneo here. I have cleaned-up the article and added to it significantly in terms of both prose and sourcing, but am generally not a big fan of cleaning up other people's messes.

Night and the Doctor : XOR'easter ( talk ) 15:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Television-related deletion discussions . XOR'easter ( talk ) 15:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , bordering on speedy keep due to the superficial nomination statement. It's an official Doctor Who project — those don't sink into obscurity even when they become lost media — and it's already amply cited. In a case like this, an AfD nomination needs to make an effort to explain why the obvious factors counting in the article's favor somehow don't. XOR'easter ( talk ) 15:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Just because its an official Doctor Who project doenst make it notable. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 20:33, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Technically it doesn't, but in practice, it kind of does. Topics become notable when people write about them in reliable sources, which happens with cultural mainstays like Doctor Who rather a lot of the time. Some of the more niche-interest topics, like one-off minor characters and settings visited only in passing, might not need a whole article. That's why we have List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens and so forth. At worst, Night of the Doctor would be a candidate for merging , not deletion. XOR'easter ( talk ) 21:36, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , there were plenty of reliable sources already cited in the article when it was nominated. Donald D23 talk to me 15:42, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Having a sourced reception section, there seem to be enough sources to fullfill WP:WHYN .

So Delete is the proper course of action Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 20:28, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment DVD Talk is definitely considered a reliable source. Search the notice boards. It's been discussed and is used regularly in notbabilty discussions. Donald D23 talk to me 21:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] A story about the DVD release is an appropriate source for an article that, among other things, discusses the DVD release. XOR'easter ( talk ) 21:31, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I honestly don't see the issue with the article, either. Furthermore, this is a part of Doctor Who canon. In " The Husbands of River Song ", in the final scene, River discusses with the Twelfth Doctor about why he kept cancelling their date to Darillium. During this, she mentions the "night there were two of you", a reference to the "Last Night" episode. This is also referenced in the episode's Wikipedia article under "Continuity" - a sourced reference - and that has never been questioned or challenged. So, if one of these interconnected mini-stories is connected to the main show's canon, then they all are connected. As such, this entire collection is canonical and notable.

StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 02:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - Sourcing is just not available. The BBC account of their signing is significant, but it is alone. The other references (now removed) were simply a link to a streaming service and what appears to have been a self published source (private registartion [32] ) that hosted only a review of this band and som album that may have beein called "Semi finalists" and nothing else, [33] but in any case was misconfigured for all archive runs, and no archives of the text exist. The article says they prepared to release a second alnum in 2006 but there is nothing about a release. I can only find one album release [34] plus singles. I don't see any evidence the second album was ever completed. In any case, release of the album was not on a major label. I looked carefully at WP:NBAND under all criteria, but they don't meet any nor GNG.

I have looked at the additional sources, and produced this table: Source assessment table: prepared by User:Sirfurboy Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG ? Drowned in Sound Drowned in Sound was a British webzine with a freelance writing team. No indication of paid for content DIS did not pay its writers and this affects editorial standards but it is generally reliable The source discusses the subject directly and in detail but the piece is very brief. ✔ Yes Western Telegraph Often this kind of coverage is based on a press release or copy supplied by the band. However, it reads like an independent review, so will give benefit of the doubt The Western Telegraph is a Carmarthanshire regional paper. ~ A short review of a CD release in a regional paper of a local band does not indicate significance ~ Partial Manchester Evening News Another regional paper but this time about a concert away from the band's home. Regional coverage The article mentions the subject briefly, but does not offer much detail. It is primary inasmuch as it just reports a concert took place, and nothing significant rises above the primary sourcing. ✘ No Uncut At least I am pretty sure they are. Didn't bother to check as it fails on significance "Good news for fans of no tunes" and one star. Bad reviews can still be significant but this one is just a paragraph long. ✘ No BBC Wales It's the BBC BBC Wales is Welsh regional BBC coverage This is the best source in my opinion. Something to write the article from. Coverage of what the BBC saw as a possible up and coming band. It has a regional focus though, and this coverage does not preclude them being a one hit wonder. ✔ Yes South Wales Argus Usual issues with regional coverage but again, benefit of the doubt given Regional coverage only It is a significant review. The regional focus in the band's home region needs to be noted. ✔ Yes Broadcase Now This is a primary source that reports a successful complaint that the BBC should not have played one of their songs as it was offensive. Primary sources do not count towards notability and the coverage is, in any case, brief ✘ No This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{ source assess table }} . That appears to show there is sufficient significant coverage to warrant the article. I retain strong reservations. All of the coverage is regional in one way or another - even the BBC coverage is BBC Wales, although Wales as a region is also Wales as a nation so I'll give that one an unequivocal pass. The other coverage could all be picked at. The band signed a deal with a record label (not a major label) and only had one release plus a few singles on it. Nothing more will be forthcoming. If this scrapes across the line, it is just barely. Do we really think a band with one album and only regional coverage is notable? But HEY.

List of EGOT winners of Filipino descent : Nominations for awards alone are not typically enough for notability unless it's multiple per WP:ANYBIO .
There are separate lists for winners/nominations for the 4 separate awards that make up EGOT for other countries, but all of those have a stricter inclusion criteria (not descent, but actually from the country) than just descent, so this list is wrong on the basis of being about EGOT, which is something WP:SPECIFIC and on the basis of being inconsistent regarding inclusion criteria compared to other separated out awards lists. Raladic ( talk ) 02:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC) Withdrawn by nominator following below discussion with article creator, rescoping the article to address the issues I raised by renaming and removing descent based criteria for WP:CONSISTENT with other such (split out) lists. Raladic ( talk ) 03:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Lists of people , Film , Music , Television , Theatre , Awards , Entertainment , and Philippines . WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 02:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] :: Delete : I think it's the best thing to delete this article rather than move because I mistook the title early. It wasn't for Lopez's wins but for Filipino descent as an equal. I believe "List of EGOT winners and nominees of Filipino descent" is a good title or you can rename it to "List of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winners and nominees of Filipino descent" as a whole list of accolades involving Filipino descent. As a matter of fact, it lacks the information of accolades or "winners and nominees" of Filipino descent like "List of Oscar winners and nominees of Filipino descent" or "List of Grammy winners and nominees of Filipino descent". So, I put that title as a whole list rather than separate. GeniusTaker ( talk ) 03:01, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] As I expanded on in the nomination, this list is inconsistent with other lists about the separated-out awards, which are not about descent, but about people from those countries. So per WP:CONSISTENT , the current list fails this and should be reduced to either being a combined list, or 4 separate lists, but narrowed down to "List of Filipino X award winners and nominees", without the "descent" part. Raladic ( talk ) 03:14, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] How about "List of Filipino Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award winners and nominees"? Was it good for you? Because I don't want that separate list but instead as a whole. It's very difficult for that. GeniusTaker ( talk ) 03:17, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I suppose that can work if you don't want to split it out, but you'd have to remove all people from the current lists that are only of descent. Please strike your above "Delete" (by putting <del> and </del> around it) and I can withdraw the deletion nomination and we can speedy keep it and then move it to the right article title.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 01:36, 27 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per nom; too promotional and too much unsourced content. Walsh90210 ( talk ) 02:07, 27 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Based on the sources shown by SouthernNights, my first preference would be to redirect/repurpose the article to be about The Waite Group. The notability is entirely based on the books published, but there is probably enough coverage. (If there are sources that aren't contemporaneous trade magazines, I will strike my vote.) Walsh90210 ( talk ) 00:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I tried to look for recent coverage, but there are so many hits about books I couldn't tell.

Nothing about this individual either, no mentions in RS. delete for lack of sourcing Oaktree b ( talk ) 03:05, 27 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Yes, the article needs a rewrite and citations. However, it turns out this guy was a big deal in 1970s and '80s computing. A search in the Wikipedia Library turned up a few reviews of his work in a places such as SciTech Book News and BioScience , along with this article in the New York Times covering some his work ( link ) and this article from another newspaper where Waite discusses his memories of Steve Jobs . However, where I was truly overwhelmed with citations supporting this person's notability was in a search in the Internet Archive . Turns out his work was heavily covered in computer magazines and journals of the 1970s and '80s, with that search returning over a thousand results. Yes, some the results are ads for his books but there are also what appear to be hundreds of reviews or mentions of his books in Compute! , Byte Magazine , Creative Computing , and many other publications. For examples of these reviews, see the following links: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , and 10 . Please note there are many more reviews, so I'm not attempting to link to all of them. As another example of his notability, the June 1986 issue of Amstrad Computer User states that "The de facto references in this sphere are the works of one Mitchell Waite who, with a crew of collaborators made writing CP/M hooks a one-man industry in the CP/M heyday around 1980." ( "Mitchell+Waite" link ). Based on all these reviews of his work, I believe the subject meets the notability guidelines at WP:Author . -- SouthernNights ( talk ) 19:55, 29 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You have definitely shown notability. I wish I could withdraw this, but I can't with three prior deletes. SL93 ( talk ) 23:14, 29 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It appears one of the editors changed their mind. Perhaps if we contact the other two editors and ask them to weigh in? I'm also willing to work on improving the article with the citations and other info I've found if the article is kept. SouthernNights ( talk ) 14:14, 30 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I've now cleaned up the article and added new info and citations. Also, Waite's life and work is heavily featured in a large section of the book Code Nation: Personal Computing and the Learn to Program Movement in America . I've added info from this to the article. That book makes a strong case that Waite was instrumental through his books in encouraging the "rapid development of the Mac platform in the 1980s." SouthernNights ( talk ) 15:26, 30 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The new sources added from the 1990s help improve the article, we have enough to show notability now.

Industrial Insect (talk) 03:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I can't speak for @ Rtkat3 , but as I stated at Wikipedia:Help desk#Same arguments at similar AFDs. : - "triggering an AfD is easy and simple, posting a Keep argument that's properly researched effectively takes as long as creating an article, particularly for a niche area where a lot of reliable sources are offline (in the case of comic book characters things like The Comic Journal, Amazing Heroes and a lot of small-run books). Seeing as there was and is no sign of @Industrial Insect having done much more than an online search before mass-nominating a group of articles - a common problem with AfDs in the area - I see no reason why I should drop the projects I'm currently working on to effectively research 18 articles in a week on subjects I'm only peripherally interested in. But on a point of principle I try not to allow under-researched AfD nominations slide as I've seen far too many articles in desperate need of clean-up saved without the AfD process involved; the articles are just waiting for someone genuinely knowledgeable in the subject to find the time to bring them up to scratch or make a genuine, informed decision as to whether they're tenable. My cut-and-paste votes directly reflect the amount of effort the nominator put in to a) attempting to salvage the articles before nominating and b) researching the before. " Hope this helps. BoomboxTestarossa ( talk ) 09:44, 18 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Excellent. Instead of A.) Actually trying to bring good arguments to the AfD or B.)

Industrial Insect (talk) 13:28, 18 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That's an interesting way of reading it, and it's curious that you've sidestepped the stuff about your questionable Before. Not sure how much joy you're likely to get out of this "I don't think this is good enough, everyone else needs to run around and justify it to me" approach to Wikipedia, TBH. I mean, with any of these nominations have you attempted any content cleanup through editing? Have you looked at any potential merge targets? Have you done any Before that isn't just typing keywords into Google? If the answer to any of those questions is "no" then the nomination is undercooked and potentially frivolous, and you're expecting people to do more work to Keep than you expect to do for Delete. BoomboxTestarossa ( talk ) 14:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] and regarding rudeness, I did indeed say that, and look what happened - you've cast aspertions on at least one good faith editor, lunged in on any votes that don't go the way you want them to, attempted to fire up a Batsignal at the Helpdesk because you also didn't like the way some of the votes are going, and also expect other volunteers to do things you can't be bothered to do.

United Nations General Assembly Resolution ES-10/21 : There are a number of UN resolutions concerning the Israel-Palestine conflict that are lasting and impactful, such as 67 , 194 , 242 , etc. A more appropriate place for this is a bullet or two on List of United Nations resolutions concerning Palestine .

We have a List of United Nations resolutions concerning Israel and it features many articles about relevant resolutions that are far less notable than this one. Note: we also have articles about United Nations General Assembly Resolution ES-10/19 and United Nations General Assembly Resolution ES-10/20 that are fairly related to this one. -- Omnipaedista ( talk ) 16:38, 30 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That's a good point as well. There more than "routine news coverage" and considering the resolution is relatively new, how can "enduring notability" even be assessed? Historyday01 ( talk ) 17:11, 30 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The cited sources appear to constitute WP:SIGCOV , and UNGA Resolutions become part of the permanent record, affect UN policy, are an indicator of international consensus, and influence international law, so this has lasting significance. The sum of the article already seems to transcend news reporting in my opinion, and can’t be compared to anything else listed in ENDURING. The argument that this is fundamentally different than articles about some other UNGA and UNSC resolutions should explain how, in relation to our guidelines. — Michael Z . 18:04, 30 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Exactly. I actually have a long-term plan to go through ALL the UN resolutions and add context to them.

Somewhat sympathetic to the idea of a merge but it’d just be the case that it’d get spun out again as the parent article would get too lengthy. Agree nomination is in good faith but speedy closure may be inadvisable as others may wish to disagree . SITH (talk) 16:19, 31 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , but not speedily. The discussion of the AfD nominator's good faith is immaterial; this AfD does not really fulfill the requirements of WP:KEEP . However, I heavily disagree with the nominator; I do think that this article has enduring notability. As a rough proxy measure of current notability, the stub article originally only cited a single UN press release. Within a few days, the article has 30 citations, the majority of them secondary WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources, and is linked to by quite a few other pages . The current Israel–Hamas conflict is inarguably of enduring notability; transitively, given that pages related to it are frequently linking to this resolution, I don't think a bullet or two on a general page about UN Israel–Palestine-related resolutions is sufficient.

Silicon Slopes : Silicon Slopes is essentially a commercial high tech real estate project that over time grew out of Thanksgiving Point with a large amount (over 40%) of vacant real estate and this article is the ad for that . Article makes more sense merged into Utah Valley since having a standalone article is nothing more than advertising for commercial real estate in Lehi, Utah . Recommend delete or merge into the previously mentioned articles. KindHorta ( talk ) 05:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I change my vote to keep and request this Afd be closed. Whether the content should be merged into Utah Valley is another discussion for another day. The article has been improved to the point it's no longer a blatant advertisement. KindHorta ( talk ) 21:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and refine. As this well-sourced article notes, the concept is distinct and well-established, but there's no evidence to say Silicon Slopes is centered on Lehi versus the broader Wasatch Front region. Compare the lede for Silicon Valley : "Silicon Valley is a region in Northern California that is a global center for high technology and innovation. Located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, it corresponds roughly to the geographical area of the Santa Clara Valley." Likewise, for this, I'd suggest that framing Silicon Slopes like this: "Silicon Slopes is a term that defines the part of Utah that is a major economic center for technology and innovation businesses. Centered on the cities of Salt Lake City and Provo and their surrounding suburbs, it corresponds roughly to the geographical area of the Wasatch Front." In fact, I'm going to make that change right now. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 17:13, 17 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikipedia is not for advertising and honestly, that's all this article is about. Your corrections help a little but seriously, this article is an advertisement. I am not certain that claiming the entire Wasatch Front, which is hundreds of miles long, encompasses Silicon Slopes just because the article says so. Silicon Slopes is centered at point of the mountain north of Lehi, and that's where it started from the Thanksgiving Point commercial real estate complex which expanded over time. This article is a blatant advertisement and is written as such. KindHorta ( talk ) 02:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] If the article's too promotional, then WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM . Deletion is for articles that don't belong on Wikipedia at all, usually for notability reasons. There's plenty of WP:SIRS sourcing for "Silicon Slopes" as a concept (and it's sourced as well as or better than most of the other " Silicon ___ " appellations with articles on Wikipedia). This debate isn't about whether the article is promotional; it's about whether the topic is notable. Do you disagree? Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 04:02, 18 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] From Lehi, Utah - Ancestry.com moved its headquarters from Provo to Lehi in May 2016. The headquarters building is located in The Corporate Center at Traverse Mountain. Microsoft has an engineering department specializing in the next version of its MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack), code-named "Park City."[19] Initially employing 100, Microsoft has built a second building to house its staff.[20] Microsoft Southwest District is located at 3400 N. Ashton Blvd., Suite 300 Lehi, Utah 84043.[21] Other Thanksgiving Park tenants are Oracle Corporation, Infusionsoft, Workfront, Vivint Solar, Agel Enterprises, DigiCert, Jolt and ProPay Inc. [22] . Article should be deleted are merged, preferably merged into Utah Valley which is where is belongs. KindHorta ( talk ) 05:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Reliable sources make clear that "Silicon Slopes" refers to a wider area beyond Lehi: Draper ( Deseret News , SL Tribune ), Midvale ( KSL News Radio ), Ogden ( Utah Business , TechCrunch , Axios ), South Jordan Utah Business ), American Fork ( Utah Business ), and Provo KUER ). Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 11:39, 18 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I agree there are a lot of promotional articles claimed to be sources, and I also agree the topic is notable. What I am debating is where it should be mentioned. There are a lot of articles on Wikipedia that are well sourced but turn out to be advertisements and get deleted or merged. "Silicon Slopes" is now a marketing term for any high tech company in Utah. I lived in Utah for 30 years and was living there when Silicon Slopes was being built and I can tell you with certainty it only referred to the area north of Lehi, and it did not embrace the 200 or so miles along the entire Wasatch front, which is what you are claiming. You are just flat wrong and the sources you quote are all promotional nonsense advertising high tech real estate in Lehi, Utah. KindHorta ( talk ) 20:40, 18 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Please note this is the second AfD for this article. The first was improperly overwritten by the nominator here. Owen× ☎ 06:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There was no listing on the talk page of the previous Afd, and when I inserted the template it ended up in the wrong place. I tried to go back after the fact but I may need some help with doing that. Sorry. KindHorta ( talk ) 20:51, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Part of the problem here is that the nominator is removing numerous WP:SIRS from the article (under the guise of removing "advertising") that support the idea of "Silicon Slopes" as a collective name for the regional tech economy and collapsing the concept to a single nonprofit with the same name, which is a form of WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH . I have no dog in this fight other than that I have heard numerous people referring to the greater Salt Lake region this way, and reliable sources (such as the ones I've cited upthread) confirm this usage. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 13:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] As I have repeatedly said, "Silicon Slopes" is a marketing platform to advertise Utah Valley, real estate and workforce as the next "Silicon Valley". All of my content is backed up with concrete secondary sources. All of these sources you keep quoting have their origins from siliconslopes.com, a "mormons only" club trying to convince large high tech companies to settle in Utah and employ mormons. If you are a non-mormon, LGBT, or a woman you won't get a job there or equal pay comparable to the diversity in the real Silicon Valley, and you will face discrimination in housing and other areas of life if you move there. Please stop drinking the Silicon Slopes Koolaide and actually go and read and research these sources. What's original research is claiming that "Silicon Slopes" is a regional area of Utah when in fact the sources point to it as a crowd-marketing scam to lure people into Utah that is run by mormon interests. There is no map or regional area, municipality, or city with the name "Silicon Slopes". It's original research to claim Silicon Slopes is the same as "Wasatch Front". KindHorta ( talk ) 20:51, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I didn't say it's the same as the Wasatch Front. I said it encompasses a tech economy throughout the Wasatch Front area. I have no idea who you are but you seem to have a major axe to grind here. This language you've added in the article ( "Although often compared to Silicon Valley, Silicon Slopes lacks the workforce diversity and climate of equality and inclusiveness which exists in Silicon Valley. Due to the strong influence of the Mormon Church in the area, women, LGBT, and minorities face significant challenges in the workplace in Utah and discrimination in pay and other benefits. Salt Lake City is somewhat more inclusive than Utah Valley where Silicon Slopes is based, which is over 90% Latter Day Saint in terms of population. Incidents of antisemitism and discrimination of LGBT and women have been reported in the Silicon Slopes workplace. The Silicon Slopes job market is also reported to be over-hyped in comparison to Silicon Valley." ) is not NPOV, and you appear to be a WP:SPA since your edits are only on this article and this AfD. Ironically, considering you started this AfD by complaining about promotional content, what you are doing appears to be WP:PROMOTION of a particular point of view. As you point out above, you believe this is a "crowd marketing scam" run by shadowy "mormon interests." I have been assuming good faith until now but seeing these kind of comments, there is no way you are in a position to edit this article fairly and I think you should step back from the article and let this AfD run its course. P.S. I'm not Mormon, I don't live in Utah, I don't work in tech, I have no affiliation with anything to do with this subject matter, but I can read the sources. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 21:09, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] All of that content you object to is backed up with credible reliable secondary sources. I usually just edit with my IP, but you need an account to Afd and I have been forthright about that and disclosed it as required by WP policy. I have no axe to grind here other than improving the quality of WP. I also know a lot about this topic and I came across this article and saw it flagged as advertising and it in fact is advertising, so I reviewed it and tried to improve it. I have to wonder if you have a WP:COI . Can you please disclose your relationship to this topic. KindHorta ( talk ) 21:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I just told you above I don't have one. Look at my contribution history -- I'm a new page reviewer working this month to clear the new page review backlog, so I engage in tons of discussions here on many different topics. I'm able to review the sources and I know the framework for how they validate notability or not. I had heard casual mention of this topic a couple times before but didn't dig in until I reviewed your AfD. Meanwhile, you have used biased and POV language and disclosed that you lived close to the original development, so obviously you have a specific take on it. And like I said, perhaps you should step back and let this this AfD take its course. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 21:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Now that the advertising has been removed for the most part and silicon slopes has been "unmasked" in the article, I hope the article get's kept or merged. I have consistently said I think the topic is notable and belongs on WP, but cleaned up and properly scaled. I think this article goes well with Utah Valley and belongs there but that's up to the consensus of other editors. I want you and others to understand how Silicon Slopes came to be and what it is apart of the marketing and hype. As of today, it's a lot of vacant real estate looking for tenants.

High school basketball : Do high school teams meet the general notability guidelines? Certainly some professional players rose from the ranks in high school, but is the high school bracket noteworthy for an encyclopedia? I'm not going to say it isn't. It's just that this article is one sentence long and doesn't really justify its own page. It's as brief as a dictionary entry. — Paper Luigi T • C 04:54, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect back to Basketball#High school basketball . High school basketball had been a redirect there from 2007 until yesterday. I can't completely rule out the possibility that there ought to be a separate article for high school basketball; after all, there is one for high school football . But this article is one sentence long, shorter than the section on high school basketball in the Basketball article. If editors think there ought to be a separate article about high school basketball, they should prepare it as a draft and then move it to articlespace, rather than creating a one-sentence article and hoping that it will be better someday. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:55, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Sports-related deletion discussions .

The articles written about Hoosiers alone are enough to complete the article. Pretty massive oversight for Wikipedia to not have this article until 2024. Please remember that WP:Deletion is not cleanup and the current stub status of the article after one day of existance has no relevance to its notability. All deletion arguments against this article are WP:SURMOUNTABLE . PK-WIKI ( talk ) 17:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I agree that it has left a very large imprint on culture in North America, and this article has much potential as a secondary topic for Basketball . Given the article's short length, it should be heavily expanded to include everything at Basketball#High school basketball and then some. The issue is that this article was created over a redirect that pointed to Basketball#High school basketball , which is more comprehensive on the subject than this one, and until there's interest in writing a full-length article, this would really be better as a redirect.

In de Crespigny's other work Fire Over Luoyang , Zheng Zhong is mentioned no less than 28 times, and is described as having played "a critical role" in the coup against the consort kin Dou clan of Dou Xian , and his involvement sets a precedent as "the first time members of the inner court had been so actively involved in politics," and that "Zheng Zhong and his associates were models for the for the future, [where] palace eunuchs would become major players in the politics of the dynasty."

Secret combination (Latter Day Saints) : No secondary sources seem to have spent time writing anything in depth about the use of the phrase secret combination in Mormon culture Big Money Threepwood ( talk ) 04:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC) the nominator has been blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet, Atlantic306 ( talk ) 18:53, 28 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Religion , Christianity , and Latter Day Saints . Big Money Threepwood ( talk ) 04:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : The statement that No secondary sources seem to have spent time writing anything in depth about the use of the phrase secret combination is not quite accurate. Looking through Google Scholar reveals the following: Dan Vogel, "Mormonism's 'Anti-Masonick Bible'" , John Whitmer Historical Association Journal 9 (1989): 17–30), with discussion of how it was a euphemism for Freemasonry. Seth R. Payne, "Satan's Plan: The Book of Mormon, Glenn Beck and Modern Conspiracy" , paper presented at a 2014 meeting of the American Academy of Religion held in Calgary, Canada and released on SSRN : mentions how the phrase was an anti-Masonic euphemism in the nineteenth century and became a term popular among Latter-day Saint conspiracy theorists in the twenty-first century. Patrick Q. Mason, "Ezra Taft Benson and Modern (Book of) Mormon Conservatism", in Out of Obscurity: Mormonism Since 1845 , eds. Patrick Q. Mason and John G. Turner (Oxford University Press, 2016), 63–80, about how LDS Church president and Dwight D. Eisenhower cabinet member Ezra Taft Benson used the phrase "secret combination" and applied it to his right-wing understanding of U. S. politics. Robert A. Goldberg, "From New Deal to New Right", in Thunder from the Right: Ezra Taft Benson in Mormonism and Politics , ed. Matthew L. Harris (University of Illinois Press, 2019), 68–96, also about Benson's use of the term "secret combination" in his politics. Hydrangeans ( she/her | talk | edits ) 13:15, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Well, yes, we could reduce the entire article to "'secret combination' is an LDS-specific shibboleth that means 'alliance of evildoers'". As the sources cited above make clear, the term is not generally used or meaningful to anyone outside the LDS movement. But even within the movement it means different things at different times (e.g. the distinctive and personal interpretation by Ezra Taft Benson described in the Mason source above vs. the anti-Freemasonry version described in the Vogel source above). I can see how from an LDS perspective they could be collected based on their common origin into one article, but as a reader and contributor to a general encyclopedia I think that a standalone article probably doesn't help our readers as much as directing them to more useful, contextual information about the few disparate instances where the term's invocation (not just origin) is worth discussing. So, is there any interest in replacing this unbalanced article with two or three entries in the parent secret combination DAB pointing interested readers to those existing articles, something like "a term for groups of evildoers in the Book of Ether ", "a term historically used to distinguish between Mormonism and Freemasonry ", "a term used by politician Ezra Taft Benson to describe political conspiracies", that sort of thing? Those articles should already be talking about "secret combinations", and if they aren't, well, that's interesting too, but it could be rectified in those articles using some of the sources provided above, I would think.

Catholic–Gallaudet rivalry : This is not a notable rivalry. It's been a totally one-sided series between two lower-level programs in which Catholic has won 21 games to one game for Gallaudet. There are random passing references to a "rivalry" (e.g., here ), but nothing in independent, reliable sources that deals with the series in depth -- and certainly no SIGCOV of a "rivalry". Cbl62 ( talk ) 20:56, 21 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log ( step 3 ). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2023 November 21 . — cyberbot I Talk to my owner :Online 21:10, 21 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - Who won more games in it doesn't really matter. For instance, Lance Armstrong beat Jan Ullrich almost every time they raced, yet they are rivals. Sugar Ray Robinson beat Jake LaMotta every time except once, but they are rivals. Mitsuharu Misawa beat Toshiaki Kawada every single time from about 1990-1998, but nobody would say they aren't rivals. KatoKungLee ( talk ) 21:24, 21 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not sure how wrestling, boxing, and bike racing rivals have any relevance here, and there are no stand-alone rivalry articles on those pairings in any event. But my contention is this: Competitiveness isn't determinative by itself, but it absolutely should be one of the factors we consider in deciding whether a series of college football games has risen to the level of a notable rivalry that is worthy of a stand-alone encyclopedia article. The depth of SIGCOV is, of course, the most important issue, but in close cases, other attributes may factor into the assessment as well, e.g, competitiveness, geographic proximity (schools with geographic proximity and especially bordering states more likely to generate animosity that makes for a notable rivalry), the existence of a rivalry trophy, frequency of competition (teams that face each other every year are more likely to be rivals). In this case, there is no in-depth coverage of this series as a rivalry, and the other factors support the conclusion that this is not a Wiki-notable rivalry. Cbl62 ( talk ) 22:50, 21 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] For example, the LSU Tigers and Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns have played each other 22 times dating back to 1902, and LSU has won all 22 matches, mostly by huge margins. See here . Despite the geographic proximity within football-crazed Louisiana, the one-sided nature of the series makes it hard for followers to develop a true rivalry. Cbl62 ( talk ) 23:28, 21 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Cbl62 - I would personally rank SIGCOV as the most important above all. The problem with competitiveness is results change (see Michigan-Ohio State where Michigan was undefeated early) and with proximity, you get situations like Notre Dame and USC, which are nowhere close to each other. I do also think rivalries in general are partly a media narrative than anything else. KatoKungLee ( talk ) 02:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, SIGCOV is the paramount touchstone. The other factors shed light in close cases. Cbl62 ( talk ) 02:26, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Withdrawn . After digging deeper, it turns out there is a good deal of SIGCOV from the early years. It also appears to have not been so one-sided after all. E.g., here , here , here , and here .

Stockton Rush : — Crumpled Fire • contribs • 23:09, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] On the contrary, he does very much meet point 2. And with regards to point 3, I will contest that it weren’t his actions during the expedition that caused the mishap, so he’s not independently notable for it. Basically he was just one of the occupants, his role in the loss of Titan wasn’t substantial. Carbon case of what this policy was written for. T v x 1 23:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Definitely a notable businessman prior to the wreck, with full length sources from months and years ago: [5] , [6] , [7] Dr. Swag Lord ( talk ) 23:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC) . [ reply ] Not true. If he had been a notable businessman prior to his death, he would have already have had an article. There’s nothing spectacular about his business activities. T v x 1 23:19, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] He is now the central character in a major international news story. People will remember this incident and the person responsible for years to come. I'd say his backstory, which had many elements that led up to the implosion of the Titan, is relevant for historical purposes. 96.241.148.20 ( talk ) 23:26, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 96.241.148.20 ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] The central character in ONE EVENT ! People like him is exactly what Wikipedia:BLP1E was written for. Nothing in your comment justifies his article. T v x 1 23:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That argument doesn't work. BLP1E isn't satisfied because the third criterion states it has to be insignificant, whereas this was significant. 2A00:23C6:B894:FA01:815C:3D36:1E41:964D ( talk ) 23:39, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 2A00:23C6:B894:FA01:815C:3D36:1E41:964D ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] No his role in the incident has to have been substantial, which is not the case. There is nothing that suggests that his piloting of the vessel caused the breakup. His role in the accident isn’t in any way more important than that of the other four occupants. T v x 1 23:44, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] His piloting of the vessel doesn't need to be the cause of the sub breaking up in order for his role to be substantial - that's a subjective interpretation of what is meant by 'substantial'. And clearly his role is more important than the other four occupants - this incident revolves entirely around a sub that he and those working for him designed and built. He himself dismissed concerns about the safety of the design, and then he himself was piloting it. The incident doesn't even happen without his involvement, so his involement is objectively substantial. 176.254.143.249 ( talk ) 23:51, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 176.254.143.249 ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] It's a big personal conjecture on you part to state it would not have happened without him. The expedition was executed by a company, not a person. They could have done that with another CEO as well. Also there is confirmation that design errors by him caused this, your are making wild assumptions here. There's nothing here about that incident that wasn't already included elsewhere. This is largely a content fork . T v x 1 23:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] First of all, he wasn’t the pilot. Second of all, he’s the CEO of the company and had final say in the design decisions of the sub, which ultimately led to a lack of proper engineering and safety standards that led to the implosion. 42.3.105.87 ( talk ) 23:53, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 42.3.105.87 ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] We don't know that yet. There has not been any confirmation that the break-up was the result of design flaws. And even if so, there were multiple engineers working for the company who all could be responsible. T v x 1 23:57, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] From BLP1E: 'John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented.' This article clearly meets those conditions and there is a precedent. 176.254.143.249 ( talk ) 23:42, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 176.254.143.249 ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] No it doesn't. These case are not comparable. That assassination attempt was completely orchestrated and executed by Hinckley. It wouldn't have happened without him. In this case, there's nothing to suggest that the accident was caused by Rush's piloting. His role in the cause wasn't substantial at all. He was just as much an occupant and victim as the other four. T v x 1 23:52, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] His piloting of the vessel doesn't need to be the cause of the sub breaking up in order for his role to be substantial. The Reagan assassination does not happen without Hinckley and the Titan incident does now happen without Rush. 176.254.143.249 ( talk ) 23:55, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 176.254.143.249 ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] That analogy is just not true. He wasn't needed at all for that submersible to be operated. T v x 1 23:59, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong keep. Definitely notable for more than one event, there are a lot of sources ranging from years ago to now easily found online. Icehax ( talk ) 23:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Then why was no one interested in writing an article for him prior to his death? T v x 1 23:18, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That was then; this is now. Though deceased, he is an internationally recognized figure following this news story that made headlines around the world. 96.241.148.20 ( talk ) 23:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 96.241.148.20 ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Anything worth mentioning about this person can be put in the articles on his company and on the accident that claimed his life. T v x 1 23:34, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Clearly notable, and a valid split from OceanGate . I have to disagree with Tvx1 's assertion that If he had been a notable businessman prior to his death, he would have already have had an article. Given that we continue to write new articles on Wikipedia, that can't be the case. Mackensen (talk) 23:27, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sorry but that’s nonsense. A notable businessman who had been active for decades, yet was of interest to no one here prior to dying?? Please just admit the reality that no one would be interested in an article on this person if he hadn’t died this week. T v x 1 23:38, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] But the fact he did die and was a central figure in a significant event IS enough. You're not giving enough weight to the situation 2A00:23C6:B894:FA01:815C:3D36:1E41:964D ( talk ) 23:42, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 2A00:23C6:B894:FA01:815C:3D36:1E41:964D ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] No it isn't. Please actually read Wikipedia's content policies. Why do you keep acting with such a know-it-all attitude, even though you haven't any edit whatsoever to this site outside this AFD? T v x 1 00:06, 23 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] KEEP, he was notable before the implosion i think, but is only more notable now. Iljhgtn ( talk ) 23:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] No he wasn’t. That’s why we didn’t have an article on him before. T v x 1 23:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] A lot of these "notable" people write their own articles about themselves, and perhaps Rush didn't think that was important or didn't have the inclination to do it. Just because there wasn't an article before, doesn't mean that after becoming world famous he isn't worthy of an article now. 96.241.148.20 ( talk ) 23:43, 22 June 2023 (UTC) — 96.241.148.20 ( talk ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] That must have been the worst argument I have read here so far. T v x 1 00:07, 23 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep otherwise Merge and redirect into OceanGate . Rush is unquestionably notable now from the events following Sunday. However, the information in this rather quickly compiled article would be sufficient if moved to the main article of the OceanGate of which he was CEO. Notoriety prior to the Titan incident would indicate an article having been written previously, this is not the case. If a substantial article can be written on his background, which would be the entirety of his life leading up to the incident, then an article is fine. Otherwise, a detailed section in the OceanGate article would suffice. 11wallisb ( talk ) 23:38, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as per sources prior to the implosion , Was certainly notable prior to the recent events, Meets WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG . – Davey 2010 Talk 23:41, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I he was, he would have already had an article. T v x 1 00:11, 23 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong keep - Firstly, he's had coverage in a myriad of sources before the submersible incident and that compounded with the recent coverage makes him notable. Wikipedia is a work in progress; just because he didn't have an article before does not equate to him not meeting notability requirements now that he does. Additionally, considering that he's now dead, that offers a greater degree of separation between him and OceanGate, which will presumably get a new CEO and move on. - Knightoftheswords281 ( Talk · Contribs ) 23:43, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Crucially however, it doesn't give him the required separation from this one event .

A woman is shot too but it is not shown in a graphic manner. There are a lot of fights and punching and kicking and guns held on people as well as a knife. Several people do die.

Trainsandotherthings ( talk ) 19:28, 18 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not going to vote, but i think it's important we understand that having the word "school" in this company's name doesn't make it in any way an educational institution. It's a business that for profit provides training in a single skill in a field dominated by for profit businesses.

Most of the best looking ones are behind paywalls, but as a minimum there are many near-GNG references by top tier sources.

I added some ISBN numbers to the books above. I'll look a little more, and check again tomorrow. Right off hand, nothing glares at me that makes this deletion fodder. By the way, do you know an easy way to list books and have ISBN fill in the rest? At the top of your edit window, and look at the drop-down "Templates". Click on it and go to cite book. Open that, and input the ISBN number, then click the little thing to the right that looks like a magnifying glass. It should then fill the template. Works on most ISBN numbers, and on some it doesn't.

Ngõ 224 Lê Duẩn : WP:GEOROAD seems to be useless, so does WP:GEOLAND . Even if kept, it should be renamed to something else, perhaps Hanoi Train Street , since the article is clearly mentioning the train street as a whole which is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) in length, while this alley is just the a segment of it (south of the Hanoi Railway Station , 21°01′02″N 105°50′28″E / 21.017307788630127°N 105.84107098863252°E / 21.017307788630127; 105.84107098863252 ) and is less popular. The main segment of the train is the one north of the station, 21°01′49″N 105°50′39″E / 21.030257222877193°N 105.84425082143629°E / 21.030257222877193; 105.84425082143629 which crosses several streets: Điện Biên Phủ, Trần Phú, Phùng Hưng.

From my perspective, just by being a popular tourist destination is not sufficient enough to be notable, as it may violate WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:NOTNEWS . And I think I mentioned above that even if it ends up being kept, it should be renamed, the title Ngõ 224 Lê Duẩn does not sound right, when the article content is about the whole Hanoi Train Street, whose main and most popular segment is at Ngõ 5 Trần Phú , 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi) north of 224 Lê Duẩn.

I'm voting this because I found several Vietnamese sources that provides information about its history. Turns out the residents in this Train Street community were previously workers of... the state-owned railway companies, and their descendants. Even more surprising, it was the government that laid out this 'neighborhood' in the 1960s. The whole Train Street community is considered a microdistrict , known in Vietnamese as "khu tập thể". This type of neighborhood was very common during the years of planned economy , which is, no doubt, Soviet-inspired. The only reason why railway company workers were assigned here was due to... its proximity to their workplace.

Oaktree b ( talk ) 19:48, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Oaktree b : Like I mentioned earlier, I only agreed to this after I found the additional sources about its history. Prior to that, my suggestion was to merge it into another article, like Hanoi railway station , or Hoàn Kiếm district (the district where the Train Street is located at). This is due to the confusion caused by the misleading title (which you didn't even recognize), and more importantly, the tone of the article itself sounds somewhat like a news piece and a travel guide, which violates WP:NOT . Given those, I think it was reasonable enough for me to bring it up here. But now, since more sources were found, I am more than happy to withdraw this, which I will do later. On the other hand, this article needs a complete rewrite, starting with a Move and a detail explanation of its location to avoid confusion.

Hey man im josh ( talk ) 17:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - An unnecessary WP:SPLIT that in no way has enough significant coverage in reliable sources to justify a stand alone article. The sources that aren't just listcruft/churnalism articles that are generally not considered valid for establishing notability are reviews and coverage of the game and series as a whole, which of course mention the setting as part of that coverage, but not to the extent that there is enough to support a separate article. And, on top of the sourcing problem, this is a clear example of WP:NOPAGE , where any kind of coverage or discussion of the game's setting would make far more sense on the main article for the game rather than split out. The castle (and its inverted counterpart) are already covered as part of the main Castlevania: Symphony of the Night article, and the reception section there even has some coverage of reviewers thoughts on the castle/inverted castle. I suppose I would have no objection to Redirect, per WP:CHEAP , but I honestly don't see this title as a useful search term. Rorshacma ( talk ) 17:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Should we not at least merge some of the content, if we decide that this should not have a page?

I suppose I have no strong objections if people feel there is something worth merging, but its leaving this as a standalone article is the possibility that I definitely do not agree with. Rorshacma ( talk ) 18:00, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I am honestly still not close to convinced that this subject warrants a WP:SPLIT , but as its obvious that this not going to result in anything but a Keep at this time, in no small part due to the improper rationale in the nomination, I have struck my recommendation above, to allow this to be closed early.

QuicoleJR ( talk ) 18:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Speedy keep Per WP:SK #1 - the nominator failed to give intelligible grounds for content deletion. The rationale for deletion was "doubt that an individual game mechanic deserves its own article", which is incorrect, as there are countless articles on Wikipedia about individual game mechanics. It boils down to WP:WEDONTNEEDIT but without a real explanation why we don't. The AfD gives the false impression that articles about game mechanics are banned on Wikipedia. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 19:50, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] P.S. For those who don't feel like checking for sources, here are the ones that prove GNG is passed: [11] [12] [13] [14] There are certainly others that one may or may not see as significant coverage, but I am confident there are enough the level can stand on its own... ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 20:04, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Speedy Keep , this article passes GNG. The nominator's rationale that "a video game mechanic doesn't deserve its own article" is inherently flawed, given we have articles such as the Water Temple and Rainbow Road on Wikipedia. No rationale is given as to why this should be merged beyond this reasoning, and the article itself has significant reception to the point where its existence is justified. Pokelego999 ( talk ) 01:43, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Speedy keep; the sources found by Zxcvbnm prove this locations independent notability, and a game mechanic / setting can infact justify its own article, with No Russian and Dust II being perfect examples. This nomination I feel falls under IDONTLIKEIT, even with the admission of GNG being passed? NegativeMP1 ( talk ) 07:39, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Nominator does not argue any deletion or even merge rationale, instead appears to simply express their own opinion. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 10:01, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Speedy keep Notability is not the only reason to start a deletion discussion. But what would it be otherwise? I guess that could fall unter WP:DEL-REASON #5, being a contentfork, but that only applies "unless a merger or redirect is appropriate".

Torrent (Elden Ring) : Torrent in this case is more of a game mechanic, and even in the sources cited there isn't an indication of importance beyond the game itself. While there is some slight design commentary, the vast majority pertains to Elden Ring itself as a gameplay element to explore the title. It's not a discussion of the horse's character or how players or reviewers reacted to it, but in sources like VG247 ' s there the excitement of riding a horse in a game like this. Couple it with a dev section that's essentially trivia, and in-universe details to bulk up the "Features" section (why is the exact health regen a thing?) and...yeah. At best, what reception isn't in the Elden Ring article would be better suited there. Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 08:35, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Video games . Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 08:35, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep (Am article creator) It appears the nominator has ignored the significant coverage from Kotaku , PC Gamer , Polygon and VG247 as well as TheGamer , amongst other sites, as disliking the subject apparently comes first. Torrent is unquestionably notable, and is a fully fledged character of the game - while he doesn't talk, it's hinted Torrent's probably of human-level intelligence and directly chose the main character rather than the other way around, not that it matters as far as GNG is concerned. There isn't much more to say besides that it seems to solely be motivated by not liking the article and calling it "trivia" without merit or basis in fact, which is obviously no basis for anything. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 09:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Nobody is "ignoring all this SIGCOV". Let's do a source analysis. The Gamer is giving an exposition dump and while fine for citing in the context of the body for secondary sourcing, is not reception. It's also the sort of sourcing you've argued against in the past. PCGamer, Polygon, and VG247 are discussing it in the context of a game mechanic. Outside of the scope of Elden Ring , this is meaningless, unless you somehow feel "turning radius" is character reception. All of this relates to Elden Ring's reception, even in light of other FromSoftware games. As a stand alone character, there is no discussion. Kotaku's is the one case discussing it in the context of design. And even then, it veers into gameplay commentary in the scope of Elden Ring. So yes, the sources were read and examined prior to this. One has to consider the scope and text in a source and what it's applying to. The fact it's a horse doesn't change notability standards: compare it to Weighted Companion Cube , a subject that is, literally, an inanimate cube, yet has discussion and SIGCOV actually discussing it in the context of being a fictional character.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 09:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It is rather rich that you are making this argument, while also having directly contributed to articles such as Wooper , as well as proposing a merge for Magikarp and Gyarados , which are also about characters with no personality that are judged solely for their gameplay and appearance, yet seemingly had no qualms about them, nor most other Pokemon articles. To call this contradictory is putting it lightly. If what you argue is truly policy it would seemingly disqualify every Pokemon article save for the ones with plot relevance like Pikachu or Mewtwo . We know it's not true, though, because Pokemon like Snorlax did get kept by community consensus. I don't see Snorlax playing a pivotal role in the story of the games besides being a giant roadblock. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 09:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Pretty sure many Pokemon are still judged for their personality, even Snorlax. I'm not sure why you chose that particular tangent outside of a weird WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS that doesn't even remotely apply to this subject.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 10:23, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] To be clear I'm not arguing OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, my point is that gameplay mechanics are a perfectly valid way for a character to be notable, and one that's been backed up by consensus. This whole "gameplay doesn't count!" thing appears to be a personal invention with no basis in policy. INDISCRIMINATE says it should demonstrate significance, and gameplay can be significant, as in this case. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 11:54, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] See, here's the problem: gameplay can be adequate to show notability, but there's a good reason why gameplay articles are very rare. Typically, gameplay articles succeed because of cultural impact or because they cover a lot of ground that can't be easily summarized without article bloat. or because they apply to enough articles that it wouldn't make sense to merge it into a parent article. Torrent's reception seems to amount to "most people find him useful for navigating the world of Elden Ring, though some feel that he doesn't change much in terms of quality of life." I would not argue that there's any claim that gameplay doesn't count, I believe the argument being made is that the discussion of gameplay is pretty insufficient compared to other articles about gameplay. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 12:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] All of those articles you mentioned are, as Kung Fu Man noted, judged on their personality, appearance, gameplay significance, and more. Anyway, to stay on topic, I'll check the sources myself. [32] - This has very little to say about Torrent as a horse, almost exclusively being based on its mechanical value. Now, that kind of coverage is not without its value, but if it's more premised on a game mechanic and game utility than anything else, I would contend that it needs a lot to give it significance. [33] - This seems to be a... pretty minor article about the jankiness/weirdness of the goatish hooves? This is something I would compare to, say, an article about Blastoise being changed to have Hydro Pump's animation changed so the water comes out of his shell gun things. Not worthless, but certainly not something I'd use as an article's foundation. [34] - Again, this is purely mechanical, not really getting to the heart of Torrent's character in any way. The two mod sources - This feels a little weak; if the articles were about Torrent modding, maybe, but they're just a smaller part of a bigger subject. The rest seem to be about concept and creation info (correct me if I'm wrong). If I may recommend it, you might be able to find better sourcing by using this, frankly, crude method of search I devised: User:Cukie Gherkin/Source searching . I find that it's a little more time consuming, but it tends to get deeper (and is much more valuable now that Google search algorithm is so shite). - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 11:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Lionel Cristiano ? 14:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Articles for Deletion is not a vote.

(I don't see the problem with the sources giving significant coverage to the character in the context of Elden Ring gameplay — at least, I don't see any objections in the GNG to that. SIGCOV is SIGCOV, GNG is GNG). The article also has enough content to be standalone.

Greenish Pickle! ( 🔔 ) 06:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That's fair, just be mindful of your wording, as that's how I understood it. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 06:33, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I know the sources were already provided; that's why I commented about the sources giving coverage "in the context of Elden Ring gameplay", because I saw this was an objection to the sources (which I disagree with). Skyshifter talk 09:20, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Well the context more accurately is that the argument is that the gameplay element within Elden Ring is the sole aspect of discussion. To put it better, the citations discuss how using a horse in that game affected exploration of it compared to previous FromSoftware titles, the character of Torrent isn't the subject of those sources. However, it is the subject of this article. There's also some precedent for this sort of discussion also, such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Power Armor (Fallout) .-- Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 09:33, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You stated that "the gameplay element is the sole aspect of discussion" and "the character of Torrent isn't the subject of those sources", which is demonstrably false. Here are some choice quotes: "Torrent is my best horse pal [...] I'd love him all the same." PC Gamer . "Every time “You Died” appears on my screen, I do not suffer. But should Torrent be killed, I absolutely mourn." Polygon . "...you know Torrent is always there. Eager to help." VG247 . While most of the discussion is gameplay, the sources absolutely do talk about Torrent in the manner of a character, not a device. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 11:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Zx come on man you know those are trivial, I mean hell you're even taking the VG247 one out of context. Come on . You've argued against this very same sort of sourcing in the past, and against sources that have said more about subjects just recently.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 11:24, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Withdraw, without prejudice to AfD possibly later I feel this AfD has trainwrecked, but at the same time I recognize this is an important subject to the creator.

PARAKANYAA ( talk ) 01:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ PARAKANYAA : Well putting it through Google Translate does seem to show it's somewhat about the book, but Google Translate isn't exactly the best. Interestingly, it gives an alternate name, simply "The Spirit Lands", though searching this also gives little results. This book, however, is for some reason mentioned in one of Arthur Conan Doyle 's works ( The Edge of the Unknown ), though it doesn't exactly go in-depth: In a remarkable book, A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands, published in 1896, the author, Mr. Farnese, under inspiration, gives an account of many mysteries including that of fairies. What he says fits in very clearly with the facts that have been put forward, and goes beyond them. He says, speaking of elementals, "Some are in appearance like the gnomes and elves who are said to inhabit mountain caverns. Such, too, are the fairies whom men have seen in lonely and secluded places. Some of these beings are of a very low order of life, almost like the higher order of plants, save that they possess independent motion. Others are very lively and full of grotesque unmeaning tricks... As nations advance these lower forms of life die out from the astral plane of that earth's sphere and succeeding generations begin at first to doubt and then to deny that they ever had any existence."

SpaceX ambition of colonizing Mars : Originally, back in 2013, this is a place SpaceX Mars vehicle proposal named "Mars Colonial Transporter" ( [38] ). After that, there are multiple iterations of this concept which is best described at SpaceX Starship design history .

But by 2024, I've rewritten this article to try to emphasize about the relationship between SpaceX and Mars, because the launch vehicles have already being written about at SpaceX Starship and SpaceX Red Dragon , but I stopped doing so when I realized that this article will be filled with original research and press releases information.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:09, 29 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Courtesy ping to Necrothesp ; where did you see that he was a named professor, as I was also unable to locate this claim? Curbon7 ( talk ) 22:39, 29 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] In the German system, full professors are generally chair of something. Niebergall is Chair of Logic and Philosophy of Language [5] . Whether that should be considered as equivalent to the sort of named chair that one might have in a US university is unclear to me. I have been told that there is a difference between established chairs (that are held by multiple people in sequence) and personal chairs (given only to one person as a way to list them as full professor) and that one is better than the other, but I don't really understand the distinction myself nor how to tell which one Niebergall has. Perhaps there is someone more familiar with German academia who can clarify. — David Eppstein ( talk ) 01:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak delete . I'm not willing to extend automatic notability to all German full professors and I don't see anything here that goes beyond that, or anything in the citation record that would justify WP:PROF#C1 notability. The Stegmüller Award is an early-career award [6] that I think is too low-level for notability. — David Eppstein ( talk ) 20:11, 30 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Changing to weak keep now that the distinction between established and personal chairs has been clarified and we have documentation that he holds the more prestigious kind. — David Eppstein ( talk ) 20:46, 3 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I love being misrepresented. My edit summary was actually: deprod; appears to hold an established chair. I didn't mention a named chair, as I am misquoted as doing. An established chair, as David Eppstein points out, is one that always exists, is only held by one individual at a time, and to which one is appointed, as opposed to a personal chair, which is merely an academic promotion to professorial rank (usually for long service) with no actual established chair attached. Named chairs (which are just established chairs that have the name of an individual or organisation attached, either because they funded the chair or in their honour) are relatively rare outside North America, where they seem to be the norm for established chairs. But he does hold an established chair (the Chair of Logic and Philosophy of Language). These are equivalent to named chairs and therefore meet WP:PROF #5. Many professors who already hold personal chairs are later appointed to established chairs, which are most definitely more prestigious. Wikipedia does not revolve around the American way of doing things, which is why PROF #5 quite clearly states "or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon". -- Necrothesp ( talk ) 07:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Mathematics-related deletion discussions .

Judging from the phrasing in the article, I wasn't sure whether the is the case with Niebergall, but source No. 3 explicitly states that he is the Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Logik und Sprachphilosophie , which translates to 'holder of the chair for logic and the philosophy of language', a significant difference to just 'professor' for these subjects.

There's nothing "promotional" in the article's tone, for starters, and even more importantly the notability guidelines for comedians most certainly are met by having won a top-level award like the Juno Awards — the Junos are one of those top-level national awards that are in and of themselves an automatic notability clinch for the winners per "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor", and that's not up for any debate. Could the article be better ? Yeah, I'll grant that in its current form it isn't very long and could potentially be expanded with more information. But is it unacceptable in its existing state? Not at all. And furthermore, it does not matter whether references are in English or not — as long as references are reliable , we simply don't care what language they are or aren't written in at all. I'd also be remiss if I didn't point out that trying to nominate this for deletion was your first Wikipedia edit ever under this IP number, suggesting that you have ulterior motives that have nothing to do with Wikipedia's guidelines, such as personal animus against Andrea Jin for reasons that are absolutely none of our concern.

Piranha Brothers : While sources confirm this sketch exists, I can't find anything showing this specific sketch, out of tons and tons in Monty Python's prolific career, has individual notability.

Death of a Pirate and Bloody London: Shocking Tales from London's Gruesome Past also discuss the sketch as commentary on the Kray twins' career.

Shulk : All of his Reception is sourced to reviews of the game- which, while not unusable, requires some sourcing beyond just the reviews- and to his Smash appearance (The latter of which barely classifies as commentary, with a lot of it boiling down to "He is a strong character") and the only other source I could find was an admittedly solid book source, which I'll link here. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Posthumanism_in_digital_culture/jjYTEAAAQBAJ? hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Shulk%22+-wikipedia&pg=PT115&printsec=frontcover Beyond the book, there is very little significant coverage of Shulk as an individual character. I feel a merge to Xenoblade Chronicles may be the best AtD, given most of the sourcing in the article is straight from reviews of that game. I'm unopposed to a future recreation, but Shulk as it stands right now is very lacking in terms of what's needed for a standalone article. Has one ever considered Magneton?

Beyond the source already mentioned in the nomination, there's significant coverage literally in the article. Here's an entire lengthy article written about him . Sergecross73 msg me 01:04, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Apologies about the issue with the pinging. Didn't realize that Twinkle was sending it to the wrong person. In any case, I'd argue Shulk's coverage is a bit lacking, as it doesn't really illustrate that the character is notable himself. It's basically all tied to reviews of Xenoblade Chronicles and Smash, which as mentioned is pretty lacking. The reviews give good coverage to him, I agree, but it doesn't really illustrate why he should be a separate article, given how they're all focused on his role in that specific game. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 01:10, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Didn't see the source you linked when I replied, sorry about that. Either way, the article doesn't seem to be too much in terms of significant coverage, since it's just a summary of Shulk's appearance in Xenoblade with some admittedly solid developmental info. I don't think it's enough to salvage the article entirely, unfortunately. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 01:13, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] What are you talking about? We've got multiple detailed sources, and an article that is 100% sourced. That's all we need here. Sergecross73 msg me 01:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Could you clarify what you mean by multiple detailed sources? Do you mean in terms of conception, reception, or both? I'm just making sure I don't misinterpret your argument by accident here. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 01:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : The nominator admits that the Posthumanism in digital culture source is solid. The engadget article is clearly independent and specifically about the character. A well-sourced article. Toughpigs ( talk ) 01:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The Engadget source may be about the character, but there's not really much being said in the article. It's basically just a summary of Shulk's appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles rather than any form of commentary of analysis. I don't believe it really qualifies as an independent source for SIGCOV in this case. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 01:38, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That doesn't make any sense. Every aspect of the Engadget article is about Shulk, and it's not a short article. It's the definition of SIGCOV. Sergecross73 msg me 01:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It is about Shulk, but it's not SIGCOV. This is a plot summary article, and I don't see any meaningful commentary or analysis in here. If I'm wrong and missed something, feel free to correct me, because I'd be happy to count it if it does. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 02:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It's literally a third party source discussing the subject in significant detail. That's what the GNG requires. Whether or not you found the commentary personally meaningful is completely irrelevant. Sources detailing subjects is what we need. Sergecross73 msg me 02:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Just because it can be verified as existing does not mean it is inherently notable. There needs to be some form of impact shown via the character, whether that be via outside discussion or via a real-world impact. Something like the book source above does that: It's an outside source that actively discusses the character in a meaningful context. The Engadget source is merely a plot summary. While it's an outside source, it doesn't provide much for the article. Where would it be used? It can't be used for Reception. At most it would sub in for a source used in Conception. It doesn't add anything meaningful to the article. The reviews fall under a similar issue, as they analyze Shulk's role in the context of the game exclusively. The book source discusses Shulk's actions in the game, but uses these actions to analyze beyond the work in question. I'm not against plucking from reviews, as they can be used to great effect in an article if there's enough coverage on them. But if the only sources are reviews with only one additional source, then the subject is better off being covered as a part of the work being reviewed, not as a standalone article. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 04:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You're misapplying these concepts. The WP:GNG does not require any if that of its sources. It simply requires sources to cover a subject in significant detail, which it does. The rest of what you're saying would apply to a short stub or article highly redundant to its parent article, of which this article is neither. And the irony of it all is that your source - the one that ties the subject to transhumanism , is probably some of the best evidence that he is discussed outside of the scope of his respective games. Sergecross73 msg me 06:55, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You have apparently missed the excellent "Conception and creation" section. Simply repeating "it's not SIGCOV" is not helpful. Toughpigs ( talk ) 02:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I definitely agree that Conception and creation is definitely the highlight of the article, but it definitely doesn't justify a split given the lacking Reception. Shulk isn't someone like Varan where the massive amount of behind-the-scenes information justifies the article's existence. There's some good stuff, but I don't think it's enough to justify a split from the main article. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk ) 04:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Varan is a fine article, but it's something to aspire to work towards, not the bare minimum bar to clear for a subject to have its own article. There's substantial content here - two detailed paragraphs of development/creation info, specifically about the subject, that is entirely reliably sourced. Sergecross73 msg me 15:58, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep To clarify leading into this, I'm going with "Weak" because I'm spread thin and did mainly a cursory look online. However, this article from Paste magazine discusses his role in the story with some thoughts, VG247 also gives some thoughts, as does this other article from Engadget , and some thoughts from Edge . I feel with the book ref above (which seems to be in scholar also under two papers?), there's enough here. -- Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 08:34, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . It's not the strongest article, but the sources already in the article, as well as the sources Kung Fu Man found, have demonstrated that it passes WP:GNG . - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 18:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The sources provided by Kung Fu Man, I'd say, in conjunction with other sources, definitely show to me that Shulk is definitely worthy of a split, thus I'll be withdrawing this nomination, given all votes thus far have been keep ones.

We have numerous other articles about comic characters ( Alan Partridge from Steve Coogan , Mr Bean from Rowan Atkinson , Pee-wee Herman from Paul Reubens - the list goes on and on).

Michael Connely: As always, unelected candidates for political office do not get articles on that basis per se -- the notability test at NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one, while candidates qualify for articles only if either (a) they already had some other basis for notability that would already have gotten them an article anyway, or (b) they can show credible grounds for why their candidacy should be seen as a special case of significantly greater and more enduring notability than most other people's candidacies. But this is written more like a campaign brochure than an encyclopedia article, and is referenced to two primary sources that aren't support for notability at all and two hits of purely run of the mill campaign coverage, which is not enough to establish that he would satisfy either of the conditions for the permanent notability of an unelected candidate. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, but nothing here is already grounds for an article now. Note as well that this title previously existed as a redirect to the first election that he already ran in and lost, until being turned into a standalone article within the past two days on the basis of his new candidacy — so restoring the original redirect, or repointing it to the current election, would also be options.

My thorough WP:BEFORE analysis suggests that there is in-depth coverage of him in multiple publications. This coverage includes his current role , as well as his work with Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) as its head ( [11] , [12] ). Interestingly, there is also more in-depth coverage about his legal issues , including a major lawsuit filed against him by the AEG.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 02:11, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep both for procedural grounds but also on merit. I did a bit of looking into Manaka Kubota since with my Japanese skills I'd have a decent chance of finding sources. We're talking about an athlete with profile and coverage from NHK [1] , Yomiuri [2] , Nikkei [3] , multiple posts in Sanspo [4] , News [5] . The idea that she wouldn't meet the notability threshold is absurd. Given nom's failure to do a search on this one, I doubt they have on the others. DCsansei ( talk ) 09:19, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] User:DCsansei , I don't speak Japanese but this doesn't look like WP:SIGCOV to me. Can you clarify your argument? Are you saying these are SIGCOV, or are you saying that SIGCOV in offline/older sources likely exists given this modern coverage? Suriname0 ( talk ) 16:34, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Very important to keep in mind that significant coverage in Japanese will appear much shorter to English-native editors, just as a function of how the language works and style of writing even in newspapers which tends to stick to facts much more than Western outlets. See for example this article . I do think additional SIGCOV exists but I think that the coverage from the national TV channel, Sanspo, Yomiuri Shinbun among others does meet the minimum for notability without finding more. DCsansei ( talk ) 17:00, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] None of those are close to SIGCOV, even if we were to give some kind of exception for the depth of Japanese sources (which we should not, because notability is exclusively derived from the amount and depth of IRS SIGCOV, not the importance of someone's achievements). The first is the standard athlete blurb derived from their sports org's website N . The second is a stats page with no secondary coverage N . The third is a passing mention N . The fourth is a press release N . The fifth looks like a local-interest community news story, though I can't access the whole thing. Like all GNG-predicting SNGs, NSPORT standards demand NOTNEWS is met, which means routine reports are not considered SIGCOV. JoelleJay ( talk ) 18:05, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Is "keep for merit" a rationale at AfD? I thank JoelleJay for the source analysis is great, and will say BEFORE found similar routine coverage of the others, this is a good example. Jahn and Nuevo's WC medals notwithstanding; I accept the "procedural keep" on those two suggested by the first AfD response. Note that the language spoken in Moldova is Romanian, so I searched on the Latin characters for the two Moldovan names which seems to work OK (i.e. Cyrillic not required). ☆ Bri ( talk ) 18:31, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : As a gold medalist at world competitions equal to the Olympics, Katherin Nuevo is at a different level than some of the others. This is why bundling nominations does not work. WP:SPORTSPERSON says, "A sportsperson is presumed to be notable if the person has won a significant honor". There are sources in place that document this honor. Looks like Lisa Jahn also received medals at world-level competitions. Again, this merits a Wikipedia article. I endorse the suggestion to withdraw this nomination and submit each person individually. Rublamb ( talk ) 20:54, 19 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It is a reasonable request.

List of automobiles known for negative reception: People can have a negative opinion about every car in existence in one way or another and this article have no chance to be rewritten in an encyclopedic manner.

Hey man im josh ( talk ) 15:00, 22 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Note that this list was nominated for deletion at AfD twice before, in 2015 and in 2018 . Hey man im josh ( talk ) 15:03, 22 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I will try to address two main reasons why this article has been kept. List of films considered the worst , so this article should also be kept – No, this is not true. Another similar article being kept does not mean that this article should be kept. Unlike List of films considered the worst, this article does not definitively define notability or criteria for inclusion. For example, should the Cybertruck controversial and potential safety hazard make it suitable for inclusion here? Or if there are only precisely three reliable sources criticizing an old car model, should it be removed from this page? Yes or no, because of why? I do understand that this criteria for inclusion might allow a bit fuzziness here, but in this case I feel that it is too subjective and prone to editor's bias, which leads to... List is sourced to respectable news and broadcasting media – this is very fuzzy and prone to editors' bias. For example, the VinFast VF 8 . If Vietnamese news sources praise the car for being ABC and XYZ, while Western sources all criticize the car in all other respect, should it stay or be removed from the article? Again, if people from the Anglosphere universally criticize the car while people from other parts of the world praise the car, either the omission or the addition of the entry would imply geographical bias. I don't want to say that we should encourage false balance here (especially because I'm biased about the VF 8 myself because of my nationality), but IMO this is something that we have to consider especially for Chinese and Russian cars listed. And here are some more potential issues about the article, some can be fixed, some are inherent, sorted from most urgent: Article is cited to a lot of blogs and websites that are not authoritative and representative of the automobile world. This means that their criticisms cannot be taken as a reliable review of automobile experts' consensus. Excessive amount of quotations, no summary of the criticisms. This is a potential copyright violation issue. List's title imply that all cars that have at least some form of negative reception should be included in this list. – CactiStaccingCrane ( talk ) 15:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I don't want to turn this to a derisive debate. On a wider note, if this article is kept for the third time, then I strongly recommend establishing a consistent criteria for articles within Category:Lists of worsts to avoid further debates about these kind of articles.

CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 05:56, 11 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I don't know what RS is. I'm a fan of zarzuela. It is a somewhat obscure genre in the United States, both in the classical music circles and the musical theatre circles. The nominations (there were three of them for the show) and one win was an important moment for the genre, but was also barely mentioned in the Washington Post. This soprano has been pushing for more recognition of the genre for years, as well as other classical music in Spanish. https://www.washingtonpost.com/theater-dance/2023/05/22/helen-hayes-awards-dc-theater/ SofiaAmudsen ( talk ) 18:07, 11 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] SofiaAmudsen I apologize for the jargon. RS means "reliable sources" that are not closely affiliated with the article subject. In order to keep the article it's necessary to have coverage of Virella in such sources. Unfortunately that can mean that some topics that are obscure or less popular are harder for us to cover. ( t · c ) buidhe 19:39, 11 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you for the clarification!
