WCB Wasafi: Original reasoning was: Blatant WP:PROMO ; fails WP:NCORP . While on second look the promo is not obvious, the second part of the reasoning still holds. Jalen Folf (talk) 07:08, 29 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music and Tanzania .

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 09:21, 29 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Since the prod reasoning was repeated, I will repeat my contestation: "Certainly not blatant promo, since the founder appears notable, and with six potentially notably signees could qualify as an important indie in WP:MUSIC's sense. It's possible there is walled-garden activity here, but it's not clear to me (a nonexpert on African pop) that's happening". Certainly, there is no reason for this to be at AfD (to create a redlink here), since at worst the applicable action would be to merge into the founder's article.

It is fairly clear that the label is of significant cultural importance in Tanzania, that it meets GNG, and would qualify as "one of the more important indie labels." 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions ) 01:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 18:37, 19 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment I think it's unusual that Majestic International focuses on providing logistics technologies is the only part of the article that actually says what this company does. Usually aside from acquisitions or mergers, saying what the services or products of a company are is the bulk of a business article, not a short sentence tacked on to the end of a paragraph. That's not a vote of deletion, just an observation that this is not your typical article on a company. L iz Read! Talk! 18:34, 21 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per my view the page meets WP:NEXIST (Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article), as I see that there is coverage outside the page too, and with such history the company possibly has the required depth of coverage. -- BoraVoro ( talk ) 08:51, 24 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep due to its multinational presence, historical significance since 1981, and notable achievements including recognition as a Great Place To Work. -- Nord-We ( talk ) 11:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as WP:Before helped much.

Jack Ashton: The current sources in the article are focused on his relationship and family and I don't think they go into enough detail about him to pass WP:GNG .

Suonii180 ( talk ) 15:58, 26 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per WP:GNG and 5x expansion of this former stub, which had 1,595,752 page views since it was first created six years ago. The article now has a sizeable Career section covering Ashton's major television roles (beyond Call the Midwife ), as well as his theatre performances ( A Streetcar Named Desire at the Donmar and lead in Strangers on a Train ) and his starring role in a US film. We also find out what his real name was and how he chose his stage name. The most in-depth articles about him do incorporate quotes of Ashton himself, but also include facts that were presumably researched and/or fact-checked by journalists and editorial staff, including Radio Times , The Bristol Post , and MyLondon , and there are numerous reviews of his stage roles (e.g., The Times and What's On Stage ), and one by the The Independent Critic about Instrument of War . (NB: Not sure if you were using Google for WP:BEFORE , but increasingly we're finding that it's not fit for purpose, particularly for single-parameter searches; Bing seems to perform much better in that regard.)

I wholeheartedly disagree with RUNOFTHEMILL label. 84.188.101.102 ( talk ) 20:28, 9 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep. A well-known Polish presenter and Eurovision Song Contest long-running commentator having commentated 26 contests.

Qcumber ( talk ) 01:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The only thing that the article is not expanded enough. Because of this 2021 events take the most part of the article. It's not good. The label prompts that someone will at least take the information from Polish Wiki. But I agree with 84.188.101.102 - I don't think that there is a srong reason to delete the article with RUNOFTHEMILL .

As well as article collections with and about him [38] , [39] , etc. Atlassian ( talk ) 06:14, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I don't consider myself competent to evaluate their quality, but taken on face value, the Polish Wikipedia version of this page appears more thoroughly referenced. Lubal ( talk ) 00:50, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , obviously passes GNG per sources on our WP page and Polish page, which also include a printed encyclopedia, more is easily findable via Google (see Atlassian examples above). The RUNOFTHEMILL label seems like an excuse to ignore the coverage and not provide an adequate deletion rationale, and describing the subject as a 'reality show host' shows that the IP (who has since made a lot of questionable edits) didn't even bother to read the page, let alone do a minimal WP: BEFORE . -- C avarrone 07:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . First thoughts: this article in its current form is rather lopsided to focus on the "dismissal" and reads more like a news article about that occurrence rather than being a biography about Orzech. After review: other editors are correct in pointing out that the sources used here ( and actually in the Polish Wiki as well) are passing mentions that he served as commentator, mainly for Eurovision. While at first I was impressed with the size of the Polish Wiki page and the idea that perhaps his bio was more developed there, it is in fact just a prose version of a list of times he'd provided commentary or hosted a program; more like a resume than a biographical overview. The provided sources do not go into any depth about the positions to establish his notability; the sources are instead about the events he was part of. Overall, I do not believe that the subject meets GNG and NBIO. Grk1011 ( talk ) 13:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - per coverage which are extensive. Per sourcing which are third party and reliable. Overall I would say WP:GNG applies. BabbaQ ( talk ) 08:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Owen× ☎ 11:55, 30 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . I would concur with Grk1011's assessment of the article. The parts on his background and career at TVP are wholly unsourced, and background is also wholly unsourced on the Polish article. Even within the Polish article, which would be the main start for improving this article, it reads more like a CV/resume than an article, and there are large chunks which are unsourced and thus fails WP:VERIFY . WP:BLP , and specifically WP:BLPRS , means that we have to have sources for any information which is potentially challengeable, which would result in cause for the the first two paragraphs to be likely for removal. Taking that aside, we then have an article which is exclusively about the subject's issues with TVP management and the resultant removal from TVP and return following the change in government; having an article with only this means it would fail on WP:SIGCOV . In general I don't believe even with the sourcing available on the Polish Wikipedia or mentioned here that there is enough verifiable referencing to pass WP:GNG and WP:NBIO . Sims2aholic8 ( talk ) 13:10, 30 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep . He is important enough that his departure from TVP in 2021 was covered by Polish newspaper of reknown, Gazeta Wyborcza , [40] , and said article even included a (very short, yes) paragraph about his background (earlier career). Considering other sources present, I think the notability is here, sufficient if not impressive. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 03:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . He is very popular and recognizable journalist and presenter in Poland. Besides, he is an iranologist and authored a book about Iran, as well as a musician, member of popular rock band. I have expanded the article basing on its Polish version and added some sources.

Hilco (musician): I sat down for a while trying to find good sources for the individual but to no avail. There is also a close paraphrasing of copied content from a blog here .

Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 16:32, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Subject passes GNG. In 2019 here or here subject was nominated for being "Best Female Artist of the Year" in the UMP Awards . In 2017 here again, subject was nominated in " Best Afro Pop Category of the Year" in the Nyasa Music Awards . Again, in 2018 here she was nominated for being "Best Female Artist of the Year" in Nyasa Awards. I also found this published in 2018, in Nyasa Times , here too, and more here , here , here , another here , by Nthanda Times, again here by The Nation , which can be used to sustain an article ( WP:NEXIST )-- Tumbuka Arch ( talk ) 17:44, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I may bear or consider the awards though they seem not to be a major musical award. The sources you cited doesn't meet WP:SIRS ; they appear to be quotations of the singer or about a releasee of song, which normally gets handled by a PR. I will wait for more participation though. Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 18:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ SafariScribe I don't think you really did a Google search properly because you said subject has no GNG. Now you say the awards mentioned are not the major awards, can you mention any of major award found in this country? Because those are the only major awards, among others. Again, you might wanna consider checking this for sources about the country. If you find sources that are not reliable there, please post them here for the community's input. Claiming that the awards (or something) is not major without researching is a big turn off as a new page reviewer. Again, some sources provided above such as The Nation here are considered reliable as the source (site) is one of the physical newspapers that started in early 1990s, and this is its online version. Tumbuka Arch ( talk ) 18:32, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Commenting on what's already out there, I don't see any awards listed in the article whatsoever. The use of tone, formatting, MOS, and writing is very poor and kind of promotional, meaning the article does not state how and why the subject is notable. " She was born on 14 February 1995 in a family of six children in Blantyre. " that is really not necessary and the statement is cited to a non-reliable source. " Hilco has been featured by different artists in the country such as Saint on a track "wanga (mine)" and "Usanapite (Don't go) that features the voice of Dan Lufani. " She may be featured by Jesus but still not be notable as notability is not inherent. The " See also " section is also unnecessary. Now looking at the notability of the subject, I don't see anything claiming that she meets any of the criteria listed at WP:NSINGER and for what it's worth, the article is not convincing that they meet WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO . And looking at WP:WikiProject Malawi/Malawian sources , there is no claim that the listed sources are reliable as there is a goal to review the sources. The website may be notable but not its content, for example Sportskeeda , Sputnik and so on at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources . Frankly, I do not blame the reviewer for seeking consensus here as there's not much in this article. dxneo ( talk ) 19:26, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Come to think of it, Tumbuka Arch , you are that guy I pleaded with to make sure their articles are cited to reliable sources before moving them to mainspace on this AfD . We can't keep discussing the same problem over and over and then you later decide to improve the article when it's on AfD.

International Association for the Study of Dreams: I am unable to find significant independent coverage in RS; a total lack of results on Google Scholar is particularly concerning for an academic organization. On Google Books there's some results, but they all appear to be from people affiliated with the organization, e.g. [13] . Interestingly, one of the most prominent authors in the search results is one Clare Johnson ( [14] ), who is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article but whose Google Books author bio mentions leadership of this organization. Absent clearly reliable sources, and noting the classification of these books as "self-help" texts, I'm a bit concerned that we may be laundering a fringe organization, and/or that there may be more than one organization by this name, one more reputable than the other (but neither of them notable). Dreaming (journal) could be a potential WP:ATD target, but the prior concerns of reputation laundering give me pause. Both this article and Dreaming (journal) cite this website to claim that the peer-reviewed Heidelberg University publication IJoDR is published by IASD, but the actual website makes no claim to affiliation with IASD, and its Editorial Team masthead makes no mention of any figures listed at this article. signed, Rosguill talk 18:44, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations , Psychiatry , Psychology , and California . signed, Rosguill talk 18:44, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the Article Rescue Squadron's list of content for rescue consideration .

List of Arabian Houses: Fails WP:LISTCRIT with vague/ambiguous scope major royal families and their allies in the Arabian Peninsula in the 20th century . Why "major" (not in title)? When does a "royal family" qualify for "major" and when not? Are "houses" the same as "royal families"? Why are we limiting ourselves to "the 20th century", but sneakily adding dates from before 1900 and after 2000 in all the time? Why do we include "allies"? What kind of "allies"? Do they need to be "royal families" too or can the U.S. government also count as an "ally" of the House of Saud , for example? What do we mean by "the Arabian Peninsula"? Apparently that includes Bahrain, all of Iraq and all of Jordan... I'm separating this AfD from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Iranian dynasties and countries , because it doesn't really fit that bundle, and should be assessed on its own terms. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 14:08, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Royalty and nobility , Geography , and Lists . Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 14:08, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The list itself probably doesn't fail WP:LISTCRIT but the way it's been defined in the article might. Houses are the same as royal families - that's pretty obvious from context. The big question here is whether the list can be fixed without deleting it by redefining it, and I think it probably could. SportingFlyer T · C 14:30, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Have you got a suggestion? Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 14:37, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I currently think it's best to WP:TNT this; start over with RS and an unambiguous scope. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 14:42, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep As I said, it's not my favourite thing - and I agree it needs work (which I'm not in a position to do right now) - probably as 'List of Arabian royal families', where 'Arabia' is generally defined as GCC + Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Yemen. The sourcing isn't really an issue, as the list is linked out to sourced material but I do note some articles around this ( Tribes of Arabia ) are an appalling mess of ridiculous assertion with dubious sourcing ('Al Sirhan' or 'Al Andalusi' are not sources worth citing without specific page numbers, editions etc). I would agree the 'allies' can go, too. But the list does fulfil a function not otherwise fulfilled and I'd seek an alternative to deletion which, in this case, would be retention and cleanup. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 15:02, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] So the list could be brought in line with WP:CSC #1? Fair enough, but we still need WP:RS to establish the scope, and that these items are regularly grouped as a group. No article can rely entirely on the sources of another article ( WP:CIRC ). I still think WP:TNT per WP:NOW is a better idea than keeping this stuff like this for another 19 years. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 15:15, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:CIRC doesn't really apply to lists where the article the list points to is properly sourced - it's to make sure that articles aren't self-referential. And WP:TNT is only a reason for deletion in limited instances that don't really apply here. Deletion is not cleanup. SportingFlyer T · C 16:45, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I partially agree, but even if I were to fully agree, we still need WP:RS to establish the scope, and that these items are regularly grouped as a group. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 11:58, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Alexandermcnabb's decision.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:56, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep but remove "their allies" and "20th century" from the criteria (also no capital H if the title is kept). There are no allies listed (plus it's a fuzzy criterion), and 20th century is purely arbitrary. Clarityfiend ( talk ) 08:40, 13 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I like your suggestions; they are good first steps. How would you define ' Arabian Peninsula '? Does it include Bahrain, Socotra , other islands, all of Iraq, all of Jordan, all of Kuwait etc.? As long as we've got no definition, this is a fuzzy criterion as well. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 12:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Arabia generally refers to GCC + Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen. Socotra part of Yemen. However, Arabian peninsula is GCC and Yemen. GCC = Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Saudi in clockwise order... Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 12:29, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Interesting, because the main article Arabian Peninsula shows the following two maps: Arabian Peninsula The constituent countries of Arabia No Syria in either "Arabian Peninsula" or "Arabia". No Jordan in "Arabia", or only part of Jordan in "Arabian Peninsula". No Iraq in "Arabia", or only part of Iraq in "Arabian Peninsula". Therefore, "Arabian" in the title "List of Arabian Houses", and "Arabian Peninsula" in the opening sentence, may refer to two different areas. Moreover, you include "Jordan, Syria, Iraq" in "Arabia", but the second map does not. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 13:28, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Ahhh, WP:OTHERSTUFF... As someone living in Arabia and responsible for many, many publications here over the decades such as 'The Arabian Computer Guide', I can only give you my understanding of 'Arabia'. The peninsula is easier, as I said, GCC+Yemen and nicely defined by the landmass. In any case, you could neatly handle that with 'List of Arab royal families', 'cos that's GCC + Jordan right now, but Syria AND Iraq used to have royal families. Arabian sits easier with me because it's a geo and not an ethnicity, which I find more comfortable - purely personally. But whatever is decided, that's talk page stuff and not AfD stuff... Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 14:54, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] PS: The people of the Arabian peninsula are also unanimous that the wee sea up there is the Arabian Gulf, but WP defines it as the Persian Gulf, which shows just how much we in the West care about how they define themselves... Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 14:57, 14 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If you can cite WP:RS which support your geographical definition of either 'Arabia' or 'Arabian Peninsula', we've got somewhere to go, and we could save this article from deletion. They don't have to be 'Western' sources, they don't even have to be written in English per se; as long as they are reliable, verifiable, and relevant for our purposes here. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 19:09, 15 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The geographical scope of the article isn't a reason for deletion!!! As @ SportingFlyer mentions above, deletion is not cleanup!!! Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 05:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes it is. If a geographical scope is self-invented, arbitrary, subjective, not supported by reliable sources, or otherwise not commonly accepted, this can be grounds for deletion of a category, article, template, or otherwise. Examples: There is no consensus on how Europe should be divided in "North, East, South, West, Central", let alone "Northwestern" etc. So the following categories were recently deleted: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 June 7#Category:Northwestern European countries Category:Countries in Europe by region ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Northwestern European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Central European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Eastern European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Northern European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Northwestern European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Southeastern European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Southern European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Southwestern European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Category:Western European countries ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 June 7#Category:Flora of Northwestern Europe Category:Flora of Northwestern Europe ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) And so on. I nominated all of these pages for deletion myself. As you can see, I've got no problem deleting pages about "Western" regions if there is no consensus in "Western" sources about what, say, "Northwestern Europe" even means. (According to some definitions, it includes my own country of residence; according to other definitions, it doesn't). If there is no consensus on what either "Arabia" or "Arabian Peninsula" means, neither can be used as a geographical scope. It would just be ambiguous, subjective, arbitrary, and unsupported, and thus continue to fail WP:LISTCRIT : Selection criteria (also known as inclusion criteria or membership criteria ) should be unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources. Avoid original or arbitrary criteria that would synthesize a list that is not plainly verifiable in reliable sources. As long as a list cannot meet the WP:LISTCRIT , it is liable to deletion.

Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 09:02, 20 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] List of Arab royal families. I reckon that's us, right there. Would include historical royalty (Syria, Mecca, Iraq, Egypt) could potentially include Hormuz. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 04:14, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Arab is way too vague and ambiguous. It can mean anything from geography to language to ethnicity. I know for a fact that people will start including royal families in North Africa from Mauretania down to Sudan and perhaps even Somalia and further south to East Africa if we rename it Arab . And I think it's very likely they will eventually include parts of Portugal, Spain, Italy, Cyprus etc. if we included the Middle Ages, which I strongly recommend against. If the opening sentence should be maintained as the scope, it should be List of royal families in/from the Arabian Peninsula in the 20th century , and we need at least 3 WP:RS to agree on the geographical scope of Arabian Peninsula . Otherwise, it will still be WP:INDISCRIMINATE , WP:OR , WP:SYNTH , ambiguous, subjective, arbitrary, and unsupported, and thus continue to fail WP:LISTCRIT . Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk ) 10:16, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "Arab" is not really too vaugue. The article needs a lot of work, but it should be kept. Agree with Alexandermcnabb . Vyvagaba ( talk ) 22:03, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I think renaming the article as List of Arab royal houses would help, we can devide them to current and former royal houses.

Sumaya Alnasser: In the first request, there was interference from sockpuppets, and there was no consensus. I am submitting a deletion request for several reasons, as follows:
The article does not meet the standards of notability, and there are no real achievements. It is evident that the article was created solely for promotional purposes. The article has been deleted more than 4 times after attempts to publish it on Arabic Wikipedia. Additionally, most of the sources in the article appear to be promotional and/or lack independence, reliability, secondary context, or the necessary commentary to support notability and assist in developing a neutral and balanced article. The individual who published the article on English Wikipedia also attempted to pass and publish the article on Egyptian Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, and Spanish Wikipedia, which is suspicious. I believe there is a conflict of interest here. The information presented is highly questionable, especially regarding "lifestyle coaches" regardless of their nationality. Coaching is a personal activity, and it is difficult to gain fame in it. I also wonder how, at the age of 41, she could have trained 200,000 people... That's a small country! Furthermore, including her website in the article appears to be a form of promotion, as she sells videos through access to her site!
The article is suspicious and highly dubious. Osps7 ( talk ) 11:32, 10 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of People-related deletion discussions .

Oaktree b ( talk ) 14:26, 10 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - A search found reliable sources to back the subject's notability, most of which are already in the article, including The National, an English-speaking publication which has bureaus in London and the Middle East. The subject has been featured in CNN. Noteworthy as well is that the subject was named by Forbes as one of the most influential women in the Middle East in 2018. Clearly passes WP:GNG and meets WP:BASIC . - AuthorAuthor ( talk ) 17:47, 10 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The justification for deletion is appropriate, as the article contains a large number of inaccuracies. Also in a television interview with Sumaya Alnasser, she said that people who have doubts about my work should visit Wikipedia, because Wikipedia recognizes me!!! She says that her presence on Wikipedia makes her products reliable!!!!! This is clear promotion and exploitation of Wikipedia's purpose. Most of the sources are promotional and paid, and during the previous discussion a number of sock puppets appeared and were later banned. What is the point of trying to keep the article going despite the disastrous fallacies! I support deleting the article. It's worth noting that the article has been deleted 5 times on Arabic Wikipedia, and the creator of the article has been banned on Arabic Wikipedia. Recently, the article was also deleted on Egyptian Wikipedia and Spanish Wikipedia. Osps7 ( talk ) 21:36, 12 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sir Osps7, Lying is harmful to the online Wikipedia, please see WP:DNTL . Sumaya has not appeared on any TV interview recently and her last TV interview was on April 25, 2022. She has never spoken about Wikipedia in any TV show. I ask you to bring evidence. Sumaya does not have an article on the Arabic Wikipedia and the English article is only one month old, so how can an article that is a month old be a reason for the success of her work? Stop lying please as per WP:DNTL . Mazin suliman ( talk ) 03:45, 14 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep The article already has many trusted and reliable sources. Clearly passes WP:GNG and meets WP:BASIC . Last month, the XfD discussion on this article was closed as “no consensus, you did not wait at least two months as per WP:2MONTHS . The subject has been featured in CNN three times [ 1 ][ 2 ] [ 3 ]. There are many reliable sources that have not been added to the article, I will add them. The Arabic article you mentioned was deleted because it was poorly written, and the editor who wrote it did not follow Wikipedia guidelines (no references, wrong format, etc.). I will write it according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines and submit it again. Moreover, training a large number of people can be done online within a short time. There is nothing suspicious about that. She speaks Arabic, and the population of Arab world is about 456,520,777 people. Mazin suliman ( talk ) 03:45, 14 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Osps7 , part of your deletion rationale is actually a comment I wrote in the first AFD in a relisting comment. It's still accurate but it's strange that you appropriated my words as if they were your own ideas. If you "borrow" content other editors have written, please give them credit. It's very easy to do. L iz Read! Talk! 05:06, 16 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Hello @ Liz , part of the justification for deletion is from your analysis of the article, and I apologize if my request for your analysis caused any inconvenience to you. You certainly deserve credit for this strong analysis. Osps7 ( talk ) 15:19, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak Keep - Tough one, but I'll err on the side of keep. Some of the sources look promotional, and it's entirely possible it was created for promotional purposes, but we're looking at the subject rather than the current condition of the article (unless it's beyond repair, which I don't think it is). Other sources, like Vogue, CNN, The National, etc. seem ok enough, with a mix of primary/secondary material (words by the journalists vs. words from the subject). The big question is the Arabic and English Middle East-related sources, which I (and I suspect most here on enwp) just don't have enough familiarity with to make a judgment call beyond the basics of information literacy. E.g. I don't know Arab News, but this sure looks like a press release/ churnalism to me. The same language appears in some of the other sources, which further convinces me it's not a good source to use. I find myself on the fence, and because part of the reason for that is my own ignorance, I'm content to err on the side of a weak keep. I'd encourage the closer to weigh the SPA ! votes accordingly, though. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:17, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:12, 17 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Graham Diamond's publishing career began in the late 1970s, meaning many of the reviews and coverage that prove his notability are not easily available online. However, I discovered that he was a best-selling author in the early 1980s, with more than a million copies of his books in print. As for citations to prove this, the Wikipedia Library has reviews of novels Samarkand and The Beasts of Hades from, respectively, 1980 and 1981 issues of Library Journal . He's in Contemporary Authors along with having a detailed entry in St. James Guide to Fantasy Writers by David Pringle, released by St. James Press (a division of Gale ) in 1996 and an entry in A Reader's Guide to Fantasy by Baird Searles and Beth Meacham, released in 1982 by Avon . In addition, I also found a good bit of coverage of him over the years in various issues of Science Fiction Chronicle and other magazines, including a two-page profile from a 1984 issue of Editor and Publisher . I've now cleaned up the article some and also added many of these sources. Based on all this, I believe he meets Wikipedia's notability standards for creative professionals . -- SouthernNights ( talk ) 16:19, 17 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] My books have been constantly in print.

Some of my friends are breaking it a second time With regards, Oleg Y. ( talk ) 18:36, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Did you actually read a single one of these 25 "sources" before posting them? You've just posted a list of news articles that do not, in fact, provide support for a "Netiv HaAsara massacre" in the hopes that nobody will check them to verify. There are virtually no references to this as a specific event, separate from the broader October 7 attack. Especially in English-language sources, the word "massacre" is pretty much never used, especially in reference to this specific event. One IDF officer simply predicted there would be a massacre if he weren’t there. Per WP:COMMONNAME , English sources should be used for determining how to name something on English Wikipedia. This source says (in translation, which can be fickle): "One of the survivors of the severe massacre in the Netiv Hathara Moshav..." So it kind of supports your stance, but again, this is English Wikipedia, not Hebrew Wikipedia. Again, in Hebrew. Says both massacre and attack in translation. Sort of implies a separate event from the broader attacks, but again in Hebrew so can't be used for WP:COMMONNAME . No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Again doesn’t specify a distinct “Netiv HaAsara massacre”, just that some victims of a broader October 7th massacre were in Netiv HaAsara. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". No mention of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Refers to "murderous attacks in Kibbutz Erez and the Moshav Netiv HaThara". No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". The only use of the word that is translated as "massacre" is from primary sources (i.e. the opinion of a resident, not a third-party source). No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Barely even mentions Netiv HaAsara at all. No mention of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Unclear if they're referring to a distinct “Netiv HaAsara massacre” or just a broader “October 7 massacre”. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. No mention of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Vaguely implies a massacre with the line "He said he has been told they stopped 80 attackers just east of Netiv HaAsara and prevented an even bigger massacre", but again this is a primary source. Can't be used to establish notability. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. The word "massacre" doesn't even appear in the source. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. The word "massacre" doesn't even appear in the source. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. The word "massacre" doesn't even appear in the source. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. The word "massacre" doesn't even appear in the source. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. The word "massacre" doesn't even appear in the source. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. The word "massacre" doesn't even appear in the source. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", only a broader "October 7 massacre". No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Only a vague reference to "Hamas's massacres" (not in the context of Netiv HaAsara), and a mention of the "massacre at the music festival at Re'im. " Not even about the attack broadly. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", or in fact any massacre. The word "massacre" doesn't even appear in the source. No mention or implication of a "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Also an opinion piece and thus useless for demonstrating notability. Nobody is arguing that people didn't die in Netiv HaAsara. But the sources simply do not support a standalone article on a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", no matter how atrocious you think the attack was. Even if the article were stay, against the policy of Wikipedia, there is absolutely no way to justify calling it a "massacre" when English language sources do not refer to it that way. Dylanvt ( talk ) 20:58, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Then do a rename or retitle discussion. Not an AFD. Andre 🚐 21:07, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's not that the name is wrong, it's that these sources don't even refer to this as a distinct event. Having this article is WP:OR . If the sources don't talk about a "Netiv HaAsara massacre", then we can’t have an article on the "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Dylanvt ( talk ) 21:19, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] They do mention exactly this event in the amount that is well required for GNG. With regards, Oleg Y. ( talk ) 21:21, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That’s simply not true. Dylanvt ( talk ) 21:28, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Do you understand the difference between GNG, delete and rename? With regards, Oleg Y. ( talk ) 21:17, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - plenty of third party reliable sources. WP:GNG. BabbaQ ( talk ) 18:45, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : Are we going to have an article for every skirmish in the war? I can't see this as being any different than the other hundreds of battles all over Ukraine and Israel that have happened. Sure it happened, but having an article for every time an attack happens seems pointless. The article is less than a few paragraph, but we've been given over 25 sources at this point, telling me they are largely just repeating the same limited facts over and over. Oaktree b ( talk ) 19:47, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, we will. As far as it complies with GNG. No one limits many many articles Jews or Ukrainians are allowed to have. With regards, Oleg Y. ( talk ) 21:19, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's a battle, not Jews or Ukrainians or anything like that. Oaktree b ( talk ) 05:48, 23 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Speedy Keep meets GNG, there should be a moratorium on further AFDs of similar articles and user warned for tendentious pointy nominations Andre 🚐 19:49, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge to 2023 Hamas attack on Israel , as this just doesnt get the level of coverage that the independently notable attacks like Be'eri and Reim get. You might think having all these little trafficked articles is useful, but it is substantially less useful than having a comprehensive main article with split out articles for the topics that have the depth of information that merits it. There just isnt enough here, but this is pointless, as people who are going to take a merge as a position on the importance of the topic, as opposed to a view of where it is best covered, are going to choose number of articles over the usefulness of articles. This article is going to get next to no views, and you would be much better off having the main article on the attack be more polished and comprehensive than spending time on these ancillary articles that dont do anything but repeat what the main article should have in it. nableezy - 21:11, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I wouldn't have necessarily opposed a merge or at least I consider merge to be a good faith, reasonable argument that I would strongly consider. But this user instead decided to propose deletion and tag all the articles with POINTy notability and POV tags. Andre 🚐 21:29, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] 100%. With regards, Oleg Y. ( talk ) 21:33, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not opposed to a merge either. From what I understood, AfDs often lead to merges, and I think that's a reasonable outcome. Dylanvt ( talk ) 21:35, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Well, in this case it will most likely lead to "Keep" if the trend keeps up. You can propose another merge in the future. Andre 🚐 21:46, 22 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - A massacre of twenty civilians by terrorists deserves an article. דוד שי ( talk ) 10:57, 23 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Let alone 21 dead, and many dozens of wounded, in this very small community. Such large number of casualties is detrimental to this community, and its way of life. 93.173.65.132 ( talk ) 14:08, 23 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . No valid reason for deletion was given; Oleg Yunakov provided clear evidence of notability above. At most, grounds for a rename discussion were given. Marokwitz ( talk ) 13:58, 23 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . "Like with many other similar pages, this page does not stand up to basic scrutiny. Very few sources. Not a single one refers to a "Netiv HaAsara massacre" or even a "massacre in Netiv HaAsara". " - did whoever said do looked into the sources? They all related directly to the Netiv HaAsara massacre. Agmonsnir ( talk ) 10:23, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep A significant event and covered in many sources in many places. Eladkarmel ( talk ) 13:05, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . AfD debates often focus on the trivial, here notability. Notability, however, is insufficient for a keep. An article also needs to be long enough, unique enough, and with meaningful texts in order not to be redirected or merged. This is often the more challenging test to pass, especially when a topic is part of a larger event or other thing. Netiv HaAsara massacre also passes that test. Hence the keep. gidonb ( talk ) 22:37, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep [I can’t keep creating a new format for each of these similar AfDs so you’ll forgive me if I use the template used at another AfD, customizing for this one’s details] I’m not going to address the naming issue as that belongs to a rename Move not an AfD. I agree with the nominator that this article is not is not sufficiently wikified, nor does it have sufficient resourcing. I assume it was written by someone unaware of wikipedias policy. But I don’t agree that the subject isn’t worthy of if it’s own article: The OP’s reference to OR relates I believe to the naming issue, which isn’t relevant here. The determinant of notability is wide coverage in reliable resources. The sources in the current article don’t show this. But the superficial analysis I did of google search results for "Netiv HaAsara", and the overwhelming number of Oleg Y.’s sources, do show such resources (see below). in terms of POV if the source is RS it’s bias should be determined by consensus on an item-by-item, article-by-article basis. If bias exists it also doesn’t mean discarding a resource, it’s substance should be reported in neutral wiki voice and balanced by other resources as appropriate. My superficial google search found the following references which include Netiv HaAsara as 50+ % of the coverage (some less like the names of those killed, but that is a necessary source for an enlarged article). I stopped once I determined that there was enough diverse coverage to make this article notable and NPOV. I’m not guaranteeing that all are reliable, but given how small a sample this is, they indicate the existence of sufficient sources for notability and npov: Tour of Netiv HaAsara after bombing, article and video Global News Canada 3 eye-witness accounts from Netiv HaAsara NYTimes Names of 15 killed at Netiv HaAsara Times of Israel 2 Israeli-American brothers killed at Netiv HaAsara CNN Hamas commander who led attack on Erez and Netiv HaAsara killed USA Today Aftermath in Netiv HaAsara Irish Times Video report on Hamas Paraglider attack on Netiv HaASara 11Alive Article on Netiv HaAsara based on two elderly residents who had been interviewed 6 months before being killed in attack Haaretz in terms of Oleg Y. ‘s references there are many which establish notability for a Netiv HaAsara article (again ignoring the red herring for AfD of what such an article should be called). Before I review these I want to point out a translation (actually transliteration) issue. The full name of the place in Hebrew is מושב נתיב העשרה (Translit: Mosahav Netiv HaAsara, en: (loosely) Village of the Path of the Ten). Google Translate sometimes seems to transliterate the Hebrew word for HaAsara as Ha’Thara/HaTara etc, but this is wrong and the Hebrew word refers to the place under discussion. I indicate below which of the 25 resources support notability for the article: The IDF soldier is talking about a previous (before 7/10) battle in the area where if he had not been there a massacre could have occurred. Not related to this article. Whole article and video about mother from Netiv HaAsara who lost husband and son, with other two sons heavily injured during attack. Reporting on killing of Hammas commander who lead attack on Netiv HaAsara (similar to USA Today above but different source) Mother and son who survived the Netiv HaAsarah attack when father jumped on grenade to save them. Details of how the battle unfolded. Survivor of Netiv HaAsara attack discussing her experience and whether she will return. Names 15 people killed at Netiv HaAsara (similar to Times of Israel above, but different source) Same as previous (15 names). Not required because of previous 2 resources. But does show widespread reporting. Report on killing of Hamas commander who led attack on Erez and Netiv HaAsara. Surplus to requirement because of other two sources, but does give give slightly more info on use of paragliders. Whole article about interviews with Netiv HaAsara survivors at hotel they were evacuated to. Details of how attack unfolded Only one short comment from resident of Netiv HaAsara Mention of 15 killed. Not as detailed as others Very long and detailed article on attack on Netiv HaAsara. Discusses entire battle how it unfolded etc. (Russian so dependent on Google Translate) Whole article on visit to and interview with survivor of attack on Netiv HaAsara. (Russian) Short article on Netiv HaAsara. Already covered in other sources Same as article I found above (Global News Canada). Similar to article above re Israeli-American brothers killed, different source. Details of ambulance driver living in Netiv HaAsara who was killed defending the Moshav Details of parents and daughter killed at Netiv HaAsara Musician who survived Netiv HaAsara attack Same (2 brothers) as article I found above. Netiv HaAsara survivor describes her experience. CEO of the cybersecurity company Claroty’s mother-in-law killed at Netiv HaAsara. Most of article not relevant but would support line in deaths section. Son of parents killed at Netiv HaAsara calls for peace. Also one line in article. Same family mentioned in (2) in Hebrew. This English article has some additional detail Article mentions Netiv HaAsara but not directly,related to current attack As I have with a couple of articles, if the decision is keep I will investigate resources in depth and use them to wikify the articles. Happy editing. Ayenaee ( talk ) 03:36, 25 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Per Ayenaee . There are plenty of independent sources. Dovidroth ( talk ) 07:02, 25 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - sorry, don't know how to add as stand-alone, so I'm using "reply". This repeats itself, see Holit massacre AfD further up the page. My opinion stays the same: it wasn't a "Hamas attack", it was a pre-planned, intentional threefold terror action of killing, taking hostages, and "humiliating" (a big issue in the perpetrators' mentality), the latter including rape, mutilation of the living and the dead, and definitely filming and posting it "for the world to see". This was a separate task, even if simultaneous and intertwined with the attack on military (IDF, police) targets. So 2 distinct tasks, not one. As long as there's no "October 7th Hamas massacres " article, there is nothing to merge these mini-articles with. Allow for that, and we can gladly talk! Discard the "massacres" concept, and any rational, self-respecting editor should fight you tooth and nail, no matter where he stays on "the conflict", or I/P. Conversely, the same rationale can be applied to any events where the Israeli side inflicted suffering of one type or another on the Palestinian side: let rational thinking & analysis prevail. Arminden ( talk ) 21:46, 25 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : The sources above show this more than meets GNG. // Timothy :: talk 07:00, 26 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per @ Ayenaee and the above. By the way @ Ayenaee , excellent research (I saw also on another AFD that you did thorough research so well done!). I agree there is room to improve article. Homerethegreat ( talk ) 17:38, 26 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep!!! The horrendous massacres that day ( Re'im music festival massacre , Be'eri massacre , Kfar Aza massacre , Nahal Oz attack ...) and the monstrous atrocities committed out by Hamas terrorists - rapes, beheadings, torturing, burning people alive - overshadowed this "small massacre" in terms of media coverage. Not plenty of sources but enough to solidly support the claims. Finally - an intentional killing of more than twenty civilians by Hamas is clearly a massacre - and deserves an article.

A few very highly cited papers, all single-authored. Xxanthippe ( talk ) 04:45, 11 September 2023 (UTC) . [ reply ] Strong Keep . The characterization of the discussion in WikiProject Physics in the justification here mixes up the free fall atom in the context of the Atomic Structure template (where it should not be included) with the work of the man himself. This man's work on scattering theory was influential and even is free-fall atom model is notable. The fact that one paper disputes his free-fall model and that the model is not used in no way alters its thought provoking character. This work is scientific and notable. The only issue in the WikiProject discussion was the template which should have a higher bar for inclusion. Regarding Wikipedia:Notability (academics) , he has 4 papers with over 500 to 1500 citations apiece , certain "evidenced by being the subject of significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources." His atomic model, while seeming rubbing some people the wrong way, is clearly "interesting, or unusual enough to be worthy of notice". There are large numbers of individual scientists in Wikipedia below this bar. Johnjbarton ( talk ) 14:39, 11 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: I remain neutral. In its favor, Ramsauer–Townsend effect links to Gryzinski in a non-gratituous way. A a discussion in Talk:Bohr model suggest that it could be linked there too. However a bit of work is needed. Another possibility is to merge the free fall model into another article. -- ReyHahn ( talk ) 17:19, 11 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep . Bohr model is still very popular especially for Rydberg atoms /molecules, and free-fall atomic model suggests to consider not only circular electron trajectories, but also radial - through dozens of peer-reviewed articles in top physics journals, focused on good agreement with various types of experimental data. In contrast, it seems the only peer-reviewed criticism is 2 page 1973 Bates, Snyder article, not even comparing with experimental data (states: "Laboratory data are not available for comparison").

There is no indication that there is anything wrong with the Biography of the British Stage , which is cited by other sources (including 40 articles in the ODNB) that are certainly reliable.

Le360 and H24 Info ( 1 , 2 ) are well-known online publications in Morocco, with editorial teams and no apparent sponsored content. Admittedly, despite being one of the most well-known and widely streamed rappers in the country, there isn't much decent significant coverage in mainstream publications and I can't find a national music chart for Morocco, so it looks like building a case for notability by our standards may be prove to be difficult. Edit: Nominated for significant All Africa Music Award, performed at Africa's largest festival, placed in rotation nationally by top broadcasts of Moroccan music, and has received some non-trivial, independent coverage.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 04:32, 29 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete. This is an absurdly incomplete list. Taking France as an example, the creator seems to think that Paris is all there is in France, unaware that the oldest cinema still in operation after 125 years, is in La Ciotat ( https://edencinemalaciotat.com/le-plus-ancien-cinema-du-monde/ ). Similar problems apply in other countries, for example Chile, which apparently has just one cinema, though I saw Jurassic Park and The Color Purple in two different ones. Even if the list was made complete it would still be pointless. Athel cb ( talk ) 15:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This is obviously only a list of notable movie theaters that have articles because they are historic or otherwise significant, which is a typical criterion for SALs. It needs some clean-up and is likely missing many, but I don't think we have an article on the oldest theater in La Ciotat so of course it's not on here. Reywas92 Talk 16:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] OK. I failed to notice the qualification "notable enough for Wikipedia articles," but it's still a ridiculous list. You are right that there is no "article on the oldest theater in La Ciotat", but there damn well should be. Athel cb ( talk ) 16:43, 29 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Perhaps you could make it?

Athel cb ( talk ) 17:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I would note that Category:Cinemas and movie theaters by country is, of course, organized by country -- which is how this list is organized too. The difference is that there are a number of cinemas which Wikipedia has articles about, but which are not listed here on List of movie theaters . So this list is trying to fulfill the same function as Category:Cinemas and movie theaters by country , but not as well since it doesn't include all of the movie theaters that already have Wikipedia articles. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:46, 30 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and improve.

Archives908 ( talk ) 01:55, 30 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm kind of leery of a page like this, though. The amount of work it would need to maintain would be kind of exhausting. I think that a far more manageable option would be for the page to limit itself to something like "oldest movie theater" by country, with the further requirement being that the theater would either have to be still operational OR the building itself would still have to be standing, in the case of a company that's now defunct but the building still stands. Otherwise this is a page that could potentially contain hundreds upon thousands of theaters. It would also be kind of prone to people coming around to list their mini (non-notable) theater as well. I'm not using that as an argument to delete mind you, just say that a page like this needs to be more limited out of necessity to make it more encyclopedic.

Sans (Undertale): Most of the article is unsourced plot summary or reception that can be included on the Undertale game article, and this article itself is a disorganized mess. Full source analysis: In appearances; Most of the plot summary is completely unsourced. As for the sources that were there, 1 is citing something related to Papyrus, 2 is just fan theories that don't give very much, and 3-8 may be the definition of a WP:REFBOMB . All it does is demonstrate that Sans got a Mii costume in Smash and his boss fight was remade in Fortnite (odd thing to document in a section meant for official appearances). This REFBOMB takes up a fourth of the articles citations (6/24). In Development, literally nothing is cited to the character himself. 9-12 are for Megalovania. In Reception: 13 praised all of the boss fights in the game, this is not notability for his boss fight. 14, yeah he's a fan favorite, but this is just a Q&A with the developer Toby Fox with little substance. Doesn't talk about the questions received. Might be WP:USERG . 15 says nothing except about how he is introduced in the game. This is the most character reception any of the reception sources contain, and it is solely because he is included in a "top video game characters of the decade" list. Nothing about his character is said. 16 is decent reception for his boss fight, but nothing about the character himself. 17-18 are repeats and are just fan art showcases. Same with 19, except 19 is extremely confusing. 21-22 is a poll among a single internet community. These are USERG. 20 is funny but this isn't character reception. 23 may as well be primary. 24 is about Megalovania. Summary: Out of 24 sources, 6 are part of a ref bomb, 6 more are USERG, and 5 are about Megalovania, which I believe may as well be its own topic due to its history preceding Undertale. So there is no critical analysis on this character, and WP:BEFORE turns up nothing on WP:VG/SE as well as Google Scholar at first glance. Until I removed them, there were also originally sections from The Gamer and Screen Rant in reception, which may have given the illusion of notability despite them being unusable in those situations.
There are also numerous grammar mistakes and weird organization problems, such as "the subject of much fan art" and Megalovanias appearance in Taiko no Tatsujin being in the Development section. This article is likely WP:FANCRUFT and no evidence of standalone notability exists, possibly violating the "Article criteria" under WP:VGCHAR .

NegativeMP1 ( talk ) 04:52, 15 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep The scholarly sources are very strong evidence Sans is notable due to his 4th wall-breaking nature in a similar manner as Flowey, even putting aside the Megalovania popularity.

SportingFlyer T · C 12:38, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak Keep The existence of poor quality and unreliable secondary sources amidst other mainstream sources sufficient to establish significant coverage should not endanger an article.

ReneeWrites ( talk ) 14:57, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The point I was trying to convey when I made that argument was that the sources didn't talk much about the character itself outside of the boss fight, which the article needed more of.

Sher Afzal Marwat: Primarily identified as a legal practitioner associated with political figures, he finds himself amidst a vast sea of legal professionals in Pakistan. The creation of dedicated articles for every lawyer navigating the political landscape would be an imprudent endeavor.

Solar eclipse of February 25, 1914: I think they should therefore be judged according to WP:NEVENT , and unfortunately most Wikipedia articles for eclipses, including this one, fails the test: WP:LASTING : It was a routine event. No wars happened because of it, no emperor was deposed for it. It happened as predicted (prediction of solar eclipses being a nearly perfected science even by then), people noted it, and then promptly forgot about it. All coverage of it would be from around the time it occurred on, other than entries in eclipse databases. It finds its place in various databases of all solar eclipses that ever occurred. WP:GEOSCOPE : It was probably covered internationally, in all the countries the eclipse happened in/passed through. But this is routine stuff: the local press of various countries makes note of the solar eclipses that pass through their territory. WP:DEPTH : There is nothing much indepth to say about most eclipses unless they precipitate some other important event in history; this is specially true for eclipses in modern times, as events where people claim them to be a supernatural sign or prophecy affecting worldly matters anymore. WP:DURATION : All coverage of it, aside from what are essentially database entries, happened around the time it occurred. WP:DIVERSITY : It was probably covered by a variety of sources, but nearly all coverage would be of the same type. WP:ROUTINE : Perhaps no other class of events are as certain and accurately predictable as solar eclipses; it certainly seems like "routine coverage of planned events". I'm bringing only a single article to the AfD to not be too disruptive, but the consensus on this would be relevant for many other eclipse articles in Category:Annular solar eclipses , and possibly other categories.

I guess we will have to see, but I am quite opposed to the sight-unseen assumption that it "received no news coverage". There are very few eclipses for which this is the case, including ones that are "stupid" or "pointless" et cetera. I will have to go check my resources; I've found sources for about thirty or forty of these eclipse articles so far, and for some it is harder than others. jp × g 🗯️ 22:10, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Ping @ TryKid , DirtyHarry991 , Praemonitus , OwenX , AryKun , and LaundryPizza03 : per below jp × g 🗯️ 23:37, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note to closer: this was the article being commented on prior to here, hence the ping. jp × g 🗯️ 18:39, 12 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , per the seven reports on two continents I was able to find for this expansion . The nominator mentions WP:NEVENT , but the very first bulletpoint of NEVENT is the general notability guideline . Looking at this article, I can assess it thus: is there significant coverage ? Yes, since all of these seven articles are about the eclipse. Are they reliable sources ? Yes, they are all reputable newspapers, and they're writing based on the observations of others. The NASA source is from 2004. Are they independent of the subject ? Yes, I would be quite shocked to find out that they were writing these results as a result of payola from Big Moon. Is the coverage "routine"? Well, in a sense, yes, but so is all coverage of anything -- it's "routine" for newspapers to write about the person who is elected president, it's "routine" for newspapers to write about when a tornado destroys a city, it's "routine" for newspapers to write about every single time two countries go to war, et cetera. Something does not have to single-handedly turn the wheel of history to be notable; there is no part of notability guidelines that says "emperors must be deposed". I don't know what the coverage being "of the same type" means. I don't think it makes sense to look at something that was covered extensively by reliable sources, is still mentioned in the context of historical eclipses, and say "well passing GNG doesn't count because the thing was stupid". jp × g 🗯️ 23:37, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] JPxG , GNG requires that the sources be secondary . News reports published near the time of the eclipse do not constitute "secondary sources", they are primary sources reporting on how to best view the eclipse or what others saw during the eclipse and so on. The NASA source is essentially a database entry, the database includes a chart of every eclipse that ever occurred within some time period. It is not significant coverage. Nearly every eclipse article on Wikipedia relies on this type of sourcing, recounting what various news papers said about an eclipse around the it occurred. None pass the GNG bar of "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources". regards, TryKid [ dubious – discuss ] 10:03, 12 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's circular logic to say that sources can't be significant coverage, because the event wasn't significant, because there was no significant coverage, et cetera. The "significant" in WP:SIGCOV does not mean "important and grandiose", it means "devoted primarily to the subject". That is to say, it's meant to exclude an article about the Tsar's ulcer that says "the surgery, which happened on the same day as an annular eclipse, went off just as elegantly as the moon across the sun." It's not meant to exclude an article about the eclipse that says "People went out to see the eclipse and here is what they said about it". jp × g 🗯️ 17:56, 12 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] JPxG , I think you misunderstood me: my contention was that the NASA entries are not significant coverage; the newspaper reports, on the other hand do constitute significant coverage, but they're not secondary sources. cf. WP:PRIMARYNEWS . I don't see any kind of "retrospective" coverage, it's the same type of report one would see any other routine event. regards, TryKid [ dubious – discuss ] 13:09, 20 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I just don't really see the utility in reinterpreting the guidelines this way. There have been thousands of AfDs voted, judged and closed on the basis that verifiability, news coverage and inclusion in secondary sources suggests something is notable. But with this nomination you're explicitly setting out to go through about a hundred eclipse articles, so first of all there is a mountain to be moved: and second, why? You think they are "of little significance", okay, but there is tons of stuff on Wikipedia that is dumb and lame. The standard you seem to want to apply here, that things should be deleted unless they have some kind of perpetual worldwide relevance, is at odds with a lot of consensus and a lot of content. jp × g 🗯️ 06:38, 21 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . WP:5P1 suggests Wikipedia has features of almanacs. Eclipses have long been a feature of almanacs. (In fact here's an almanac listing this very eclipse [18] ). Additionally, (relatedly), in response to the above, news reports about upcoming eclipses are indeed relying on scientific predictions and thus are secondary. And of course, the NASA source is indeed a strong one. Personally, I can't see how the encyclopedia is improved by deleting such articles, though I could see a compelling argument for WP:NOPAGE merges-in-full of these articles in some way that improves the way these are presented to the reader. A delete or even redirect to a table row leaves the encyclopedia weaker. — siro χ o 10:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, L iz Read! Talk! 00:17, 17 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per the excellent nomination statement (really a redirect is fine too, but meh). Except for the recent additions by jpxg (I'll get to those in a second), this is a pure cookie-cutter article of statistics that could essentially be auto-generated from a database, every single eclipse article would be virtually identical with only the particular details of that eclipse differing. Not only that, but the vast majority of this article isn't even about this eclipse, but is just tables of other eclipses and an explanation of the basics of eclipses that has no business being in an article as specific as this. The basics of the stats can and should be in summary list-type articles; that much is perfectly fine. But none of the keep ! votes address the lack of any sustained coverage or lasting impact of this event. Adding in a couple blurbs from routine (yes, it's routine) coverage in the press of the day does nothing but confirm that yes, people knew when and where this eclipse would occur, even over 100 years ago. There's nothing even remotely in-depth about any of the coverage. The first one I checked, for example, was all of three sentences long . 35.139.154.158 ( talk ) 04:53, 20 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] 35.139.154.158 ( talk ) 04:53, 20 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The sources are sufficient to support an article. In particular WP:V is clearly met. WP:GNG is debatable, but not really key, IMO. Since most contemporary eclipses are highly notable it makes more sense to organize our coverage so that each 20th century eclipse has its own article rather than spending time debating exactly how much news coverage is necessary to support notability. This is really just about the organization of content since the basic facts will be included in list articles about this series of eclipses either way. Removing the article leaves a gap in our eclipse coverage that is annoying to some editors bust doesn't really help readers in any way that I can see. Eluchil404 ( talk ) 00:10, 25 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep based on contemporaneous news reports, some of which note where it would have been visible, even if only a few people would be there to see it (e.g., " Two Eclipses of Moon in 1914 ", The Kansas Evening Star (February 28, 1914), p. 3): Four eclipses, two solar and two lunar, will occur in 1914. The first one of these has already performed and left the stage. Maybe you didn't notice it, but it occurred February 24. This was what is known as an annular eclipse; the moon finally seems to cover up the center of the sun, leaving a ring-like fiery border all around the former. Our moon at her distance from us cannot apparently conceal the sun's disk from sight and what is seen of his disk appears like a complete blazing circle. The eclipse of February 24 was not particularly interesting from a popular standpoint and was not to be seen in North America.
The moon not only crosses the fiery disk of the sun, but also intercepts some of the solar light from the earth. Wherever this lunar shadow falls is called the "path of eclipse," and the inhabitants of that region see the moon partially or totally cover for a while the face of the sun. Our earth and moon are both in motion, particularly our earth. The widest shadow cast by the moon is only 167 miles, and accordingly, a solar eclipse can be seen only from a limited part of the world. On February 24 this lunar shadow did not fall upon North America, for the path of the annulus remained entirely within the Antarctic and South Pacific oceans. Therefore it was witnessed by the inhabitants in the southern part of Patagonia and the eastern coast of New Zealand. But though the citizens of Independence were not able to see the solar eclipse of February 24th, they will be able to see some of the solar eclipse of August 24. On that day the moon will wholly hide the face of the sun; but unfortunately this eclipse will appear to the citizens of this city only as a partial eclipse.

Attack of the 5 Ft. 2 In. Women: Nothing in GBooks or GScholar (well, one mention in a German book?).

As she did in Medusa, Brown ... sticks closely to the original text; in this case, her text is the chronology of Harding's bumbling plot to sideline her hated rival, Nancy Kerrigan, and Bobbitt's bumbling plan to sideline her hated husband, John Wayne Bobbitt. ... That Attack of the 5'2" Women flags is due to its length--90 minutes is a hell of a long way to go for two jokes--as well as to the datedness of its situations.

List of children of presidents of the United States: Interstellarity ( talk ) 23:43, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] weak Delete – A topic like List of notable children of presidents of the United States is not empty, but would necessarily feel incomplete.

If the presidents' pages include information about children, the sources used to verify that information could most likely be referenced in the list article.

Second source also talks about the character's death scene. Third source isn't very good because it's a trivial fact in a list of trivial facts. You will need sources that prove the character 's individual notability, not something about a scene they're in or some trivia about the portrayal of the character. Spinixster (chat!) 08:49, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment List of The Godfather characters seems to have a major NN character spinout problem. There are quite a few redlinked hatnotes from expired PRODs from 2021 which no-one has bothered to remove. My recommendation would be to blanket merge/redirect back all subquality TGF character articles there and let it grow organically, instead of worrying individual character notability. – sgeureka t • c 09:14, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . (see below for GNG) If we think about this from the readers perspective, they're going to want to read about the iconic line, "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes" and learn what it means, how the relevent scenes played out, how they were made, what impact it's had beyond The Godfather , etc. We Wikipedians have a hard miss here, not having any solid coverage beyond a bit of plot summary of "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes". I'm willing to seek out a better way to cover this subject, but flat merge into a character list probably buries the notability here. Perhaps a Death of Luca Brasi or even Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes article for the notable sequences from The Godfather , with some background, and linking to a shorter character bio in the list would work. But I'm not sure AfD is the best place to make that complicated a decision. Beyond the movie character, there's even the matter of the differences between film and book to cover, as those have been analyzed as well. Either way, the article needs an improvement to focus on notability. But when we consider the subject holistically, a fictional element that is analyzed in secondary sources, it's pretty clear this this meets WP:GNG . Here's a Springer Nature book chapter [66] that dedicates several hundred words to the character and their death, as part of a discussion of cuisine. (Incidentally, this is a morbidly fascinating read). This academic book [67] has hundreds of words of coverage of this character, relating The Godfather to the real world, comparing the authenticity of the book and the movie, etc. This book has more analysis [68] This book's commentary [69] provides secondary coverage of the character in "life" as well as their death, also examining how various film-making techniques were used. Here's a bit of a shocker - a religious analysis of the notable scenes [70] This represents a non-exhaustive search. I'm willing to change my ! vote if someone has a good way to capture the notability for our readers, but again, a flat merge into a character list is probably not going to do it here. — siro χ o 05:19, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I think it's a good idea for an article about the scene.

Physics Essays: Though WP:NJOURNALS may apply here, Though this article passes WP:NJOURNALS , I could not find any secondary sources which contains significant coverage about this journal. Other editors have raised concerns about this article's reliability on its talk page. NJOURNAL states that "It is possible for a journal to qualify for a stand-alone article according to this standard and yet not actually be an appropriate topic for coverage in Wikipedia because of a lack of reliable, independent sources on the subject." I believe this applies here.

XOR'easter ( talk ) 17:04, 26 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep By the WP:NJOURNALS rule of thumb, being indexed in Scopus is a decent indicator that a journal is article-worthy. Having been indexed in the past means that Physics Essays qualifies. The same goes for having had an impact factor in the past (prior to being included in the non-selective ESCI ). I think the general gist of the notability is not temporary guideline applies here. Whether or not the journal is a reliable source ( it isn't ) is irrelevant to the question of whether we should have an article for it. Moreover, we do have things to say: the article covers the downgrading of the journal over time, which is important information. XOR'easter ( talk ) 17:13, 26 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I am not arguing that Physics Essay does not meet NJOURNAL. I am arguing that it does not meet GNG. As it is stated in NJOURNAL , it does not override GNG. Your argument would be stronger by providing sources in accordance to GNG. Ca talk to me! 00:53, 27 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I have very little interest in arguing the relationship of different all-caps shortcuts on some notional org chart of Wikipedian decision-making, and in fact, I think arguments are strongest when they make sense without referring to any opaque jargon. Instead, arguments are strongest when they are rooted directly in whether material is encyclopedic. We have something to say; we can back it up with sources that are worth trusting; and the topic is naturally separate from related subjects to an extent that a stand-alone page makes good organizational sense. XOR'easter ( talk ) 01:43, 27 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I believe this article's existence is a violation of Wikipedia's very wp:founding principles. Specifically, NPOV and "Wikipedia is a encyclopedia". Since there is zero significant and secondary source covering this topic, we cannot represent all significant viewpoints because there are none. This results in an uncritical article on an obviously fringe journal. Deletion is not cleanup does not apply because there is no room for improvement. Everything reliable piece of information have been said due to its lack of sources. SNG is not a arbitrary threshold; it is a test to see if an article on an subject can stand and could be improved to not violate policies. Notice how every SNG have a variation of "likely indicates that reliable and significant sourcing exists on this topic". Because of this, I believe your intrepretation of SNG is against concensus. Another issue is that this article is nothing more than a simple database listing. There is nothing more to say than this journal was listed at x and x. Wikipedia is a encylopedia, not a directory for all-things-journal. Ca talk to me! 00:05, 1 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Empirically, my interpretation of SNG is in line with consensus, judging from the other ! votes on this page and the history of deletion debates about academic journals. A directory-of-all-things-journal would include all journals, not only those that are indexed in selective indices and have quantitative information available about their influence over time. XOR'easter ( talk ) 17:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:NJOURNAL is a good rule of thumb. That's why it is followed so often. However, as said above, SNGs are just a suggestion. What trumps all is existence of good coverage. Being indexed in selective indices does not automatically generate reliable coverage. Simple "quantitative information" is not enough. Following Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not , data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources . That is not significant coverage. This is not a novel concept; following the spirit of notability , interpretation that SNG trumps GNG is not in line with the intent behind notability as a whole. Additionally, essays should not trump established guidelines unless in rare circumstances , which I am not seeing here. Ca talk to me! 11:15, 3 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] XOR'easter, the distinction between the general notability guideline and a subject specific notability guideline is not some minor bureaucratic distinction: it's frankly notability 101 , and critical to understanding what the burden for inclusion in the encyclopedia actually is. An SNG can only provide temporary presumption of notability for intermediate periods of retention: ultimately it is still an absolute requirement that a topic be subject to significant , independent coverage in reliable sources , and eventually the advocates for retention are meant to meet that burden. The existence of an SNP covering a general type of subject does not obviate that requirement, it only militates for giving a certain amount of time to allow GNG sources to develop and/or be found. If and when a significant amount of time has passed and this is not occurring, policy is unambiguous that the article should be deleted, not kept around indefinitely just because of a "rule of thumb" presumption (which Ca is quite correct, does not trump GNG). This is a procedural, policy-oriented space: it's not really sensible to try to hand-wave away the "all-caps shortcuts" without addressing the content of the arguments raised concerning what they actually say... Those are policies and guidelines --you know community consensus ? . There, not a single cap any any link. ;) S n o w Rise let's rap 05:30, 2 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Per the page you refer to as "notability 101", A topic is presumed to merit an article if [...] It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG) listed in the box on the right . "Notability 101" explicitly states that a subject-specific guideline can be an alternative to the general guideline. Both are ways to judge that a topic is presumed to merit an article . The sources already present in this article are independent and reliable. They represent the judgment of people whose job it is to evaluate journals that this journal is worth documenting. XOR'easter ( talk ) 18:05, 2 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm sorry, but that's a somewhat selective quoting of the policy and just not how the policy reads as a whole. For that matter, there have been a number of community discussions reaffirming the point that SNGs do not invalidate the need for WP:SIGCOV as the ultimate test that all articles must pass at some point in order for their subject to have been established as "notable". Some of these discussions in the last couple of years lad to an extensive pruning of the SNGs (including full deprecations of existing guidelines in some cases), specifically because they were starting to give an impression of an alternate route to notability than coverage in reliable sources, which the community never intended. I don't want to quote paragraphs at you here, but the most relevant portion of WP:N to understand this distinction are WP:NRV and WP:WHYN . I'll grant you that the current lead of the policy could be drafted better to make this distinction clear, but the fact is that the distinction itself is the subject of robust community consensus on the matter, and captured elsewhere in the policy. S n o w Rise let's rap 23:55, 2 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] First, WP:N is not policy. Second, I've been there for plenty of "community discussions" and recall circular debate, acrimony, and only the most narrow of "consensuses" obtained by the end. The changing of standards for porn stars and sports biographies doesn't amount to a trend; species and academic biographies have been unaffected, for example. Third, this journal does have coverage in reliable sources . If all we had to go on were the forum posts complaining about it and calling it a home for crackpots, I wouldn't have ! voted to keep it. XOR'easter ( talk ) 14:34, 3 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep covered (in the past) by JCR and Scopus and thus easily passes WP:NJOURNALS .

Ann Jago: Dazzling4 ( talk ) 16:16, 15 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Unfortunately I agree there are a lack of sources - almost all are brief mentions of attending the same school as other England cricketers, the best I could find was this: https://bergmanosterbergunion.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BOU-Magazine-2018-pp65-83.pdf (page 81), mostly trivial information and not enough for GNG - EdwardUK ( talk ) 16:55, 15 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople , Women , Cricket , and England .

Pam D 09:53, 16 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Interesting: the wording "Ann Jago visited New Zealand after her tour as a member of the English Women’s Cricket team" (from the NZLife source) suggests that she played in NZ for England, but that isn't shown in the article. Pam D 09:55, 16 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ PamD : - That is an interesting one - England didn't tour New Zealand after the South Africa tour until 1969 , and nowhere includes Jago as part of that tour (pretty sure she had finished playing by then). The visit to New Zealand before that was in 1957 , again can't find any evidence of her being on that tour. CricketArchive doesn't have her playing any matches in New Zealand, hence why it isn't included in her article. Perhaps she simply visited New Zealand for fun after the South Africa tour? The wording of that sentence could imply that.

Dronebogus ( talk ) 08:07, 10 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The concept of the recurring jokes in the magazine meets WP:GNG , a list of the jokes meets WP:NLIST . See: The Guardian [46] WSJ [47] The National [48] The Age [49] Even Reuters has a bit about them [50] . Article needs some love, but AFD is not cleanup. — siro χ o 08:48, 10 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The Guardian is clearly relevant, but do the others really talk about running gags in the paper vs. just the paper? Plus the Age link is broken. Dronebogus ( talk ) 11:53, 10 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes they do. WSJ : "a baffling shorthand of catchphrases and in-jokes". The National : "The jokes were always there, such as nicknaming HM the Queen as Brenda, while the purported thoughts of Prince Charles – Brian – are a regular feature. Their name calling has been a regular petty feature – Andrew Neil as Brillo, Piers Morgan as Piers Moron and Richard Branson as Beardie spring to mind." The Age : "You have to be in on the in-jokes". Reuters: "Newcomers to the magazine may be baffled by its in-jokes ..." GrindtXX ( talk ) 12:18, 10 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep for all the above reasons. The Eye is well known for its in-jokes, some of which have progressed into general circulation (e.g. Tired and emotional , which now appears in the OED), others of which are impenetrable to anyone other than regular readers, and which merit encyclopedic unravelling.

Striking it doesn't undo your bad faith edits -- it just tries to pretend otherwise. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:28, 12 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - article subject is not "made up", it was originally split from the parent article due to the latter's length. The terminology used in Private Eye, per Siroxo's sources, is part of what makes the magasine an institution, and much of it has entered common parlance. Some of the more trivial examples could surely go, but they are not an argument to delete the whole article. Jdcooper ( talk ) 15:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Procedural keep per Rhododendrites. This is very likely to have been opened in bad faith, and I would support sanctions against Dronebogus for pulling this stunt. XfD is not a weapon and should not be used as such. L EPRICAVARK ( talk ) 23:07, 12 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Procedural keep makes sense. Even if this was nommed in good faith it has a serious component of looking as if it wasn't. Best to let it slide for six months or so. Randy Kryn ( talk ) 22:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I can see why this was nominated. Almost all conceivable articles named "Recurring jokes in X" would be deletable. This is a rare, genuine exception but you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise given how much of the article is unreferenced and seems like enthusiastic fan writing. Extensive cleanup is required. -- DanielRigal ( talk ) 17:55, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Very selective merge . The article doesn't contain sources indicating significant coverage in reliable sources exists for recurring jokes in Private Eye as a group; this discussion has turned up precisely one such source and I haven't been able to find any more myself. The bulk of the sources are discussions of the magazine as a whole which mention recurring jokes only in passing ( GrindtXX provides an indicative list of trivial mentions , which contribute absolutely nothing to notability). This is a ! vote to merge rather than delete because this article is much better-sourced than Prime Minister parodies (Private Eye) , and the main article doesn't mention a few better-known jokes. (The procedural issue is probably moot now, and it's mostly semantics anyway, but it's probably worth noting that none of the WP:PROCEDURAL circumstances pertain and that what "procedural keep" !voters seem to want is a speedy keep per criterion 2.) – Arms & Hearts ( talk ) 18:18, 15 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

List of blade materials: Some of the info is LEAD is not trivial but there's no sourcing. The only sources that talk about this as a group are not reliable; it's mostly based on self-published work (not RS) and company info sheets (which have info about individual materials but not the group as a whole). I'm not saying it's not a notable topic because it could be, but I don't think there's anything currently on this page that meets our criteria for inclusion.

Michael Straczynski’s TV Series, Babylon 5 . London: Virgin, 1997. If there's an ABF that none of these contain sufficient non-trivial independent commentary on G'Kar, I simply don't know what to say. Babylon 5 was from the era of Genie, Compu$erve, and AOL. It was discussed on BBSes before there were such things as pop culture websites, so it doesn't entirely surprise me that not much was found in a standard BEFORE. Adding Katsulas (the actor's last name) or Mollari (his opposing character's surname) will get you better results. Jclemens ( talk ) 19:31, 23 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment, while this does help establish notability and SIGCOV, I would like to know what these sources in question say about G'Kar before making a vote, as these are physical books I don't happen to have access to. I'd also like to see how they can be used to improve the current state of the article. Pokelego999 ( talk ) 12:39, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] They're not organized to provide a single character sketch. For example, roughly half of them go through the series episode by episode, so there are G'Kar commentaries on multiple relevant episodes. Dream Given Form has (p. 480) a full page bio/obit of Katsulas, since it was published after his death that notes, in part, "G'Kar's transformation, especially when read in conjunction with Londo 's, is truly one of the great character arcs in television history." There's more like that scattered around these books. The card representing G'Kar in the B5 collectable card game gets a multi-page treatment (interspersed with commentaries on the other ambassadors' cards) in Interacting with Babylon 5. Bottom line? If I had the time to improve the character article with the sources present, that would be a better use of my time than expounding on them here. Jclemens ( talk ) 18:07, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Of course. Still, given how you've described them to me, I'm going to have to say Keep on this one. Combined with some of the sources other commenters have found, there's way more than enough to establish G'Kar here. Thank you for taking the deep dive through your books for this one.

Daranios ( talk ) 15:04, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Enough secondary sources have been provided. Many more where G'Kar is at least mentioned appear in the usual Google Books and Google Scholar searches. If the nominator believes that none of them amount to anything, I think at least a few words of explanation would be in order. Daranios ( talk ) 18:50, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Draftify Right now the article is clearly in an unencyclopedic state. Assuming it is true that sources do exist on this character, it still requires a rewrite. Draftification would give time for the article to be improved and submitted via AfC. If the article cannot be improved within the time the draft is there, then one would have to call the claims of sufficient sourcing into question. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 05:36, 27 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Which of WP:DEL-REASON apply to this article?

The article as it stands could probably be trimmed to include less plot summary and more "real world" context but no need for deletion. Eluchil404 ( talk ) 02:25, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Few years ago when I was doing a B5 article pass for notabilty, I've started the analysis section. Granted, it is still bare-bones, but the source cited is reliable and is a two-page long book chapter treatment of the character, at an academic level (author is a professor, book is published by Rowman & Littlefield ). I think that's meets WP:SIGCOV , and per comments above, I am sure we can find another source or several that helps with the GNG requirement of multiple sources (which I understand as "at least two"). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ is right the article is mostly fancruft now, but the topic is notable and the article just needs to be expanded with non-plot summary information and with footnotes added. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 04:44, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep! – There are sources that prove its notability and literary analysis.

Sources above are routine match reports, routine contract signings and refbombing an alleged animal cruelty incident. Quero doesn't pass WP:CRIME either and it's UNDUE to focus on such a negative event. (Was he ever convicted?). The sources in the article aren't any better. Dougal18 ( talk ) 11:35, 13 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] While the coverage of the animal cruelty incident is most likely the first thing people will see about Quero when searching for sources, this does not detract from the fact that he is a professional footballer with a modest (but sufficient for GNG) amount of coverage. I've improved the article since the AfD was started, and I'll review the sources I've added here: La Vinotinto - Coverage of the beginning of Quero's career in Venezuela, talking about his breakthrough into the first team and including quotes from an interview conducted. Táchira - Again talking of his early career, and his potential as a young player to represent his nation at under-20 level - includes quotes again, as well as information regarding his early life. Liga FUTVE - Perhaps a primary source, but a pretty comprehensive article on Quero and his time with Falcón, again including quotes from the player. These three sources covering his career, as well as a number covering the animal cruelty case, should be enough to satisfy GNG. Davidlofgren1996 ( talk ) 13:40, 13 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] ligafutve is the official website for a league Quero played in and is not independent. tachira.gob.ve is a government site so I don't know how reliable it is. lavinotinto is nowhere near enough for a GNG pass. Dougal18 ( talk ) 14:53, 13 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Only speaking about the animal cruelty: Quero published the incident on social media, it is the reason why he was expelled from the league and he apologized for it. He hasn't denied or excused himself for it, so I'm not sure if there's another side of the story that casts doubts on what happened. -- NoonIcarus ( talk ) 09:58, 17 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Obviously standards of WP:GNG .

Teresa (Barbie): Article does not establish notability. Of the seven references present on the article at the moment: Ref 1 is a YouTube video on a fan channel, probably a copyright violation, and is a primary source (it's a release trailer) Refs 2 and 3 are primarily about other characters Ref 4 is a picture of Barbie merchandise (primary source) hosted on Flickr Refs 5, 6 and 7 are primary (barbie.com) In my opinion, the article's prose makes no attempt to establish the notability of this character, and the references provided do not establish notability either.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 00:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - The sources included in the article are all pretty much not valid for establishing notability, being primary or unreliable sources. But, searches are actually bringing up some commentary on the character, particularly on the depictions of her ethnicity. While a lot of it is fairly brief, this book has a whole page on the topic, and is the best I've found. If not kept, it should at least be redirected to List of Barbie's friends and family#Female best friends , and have some sources actually added there. Rorshacma ( talk ) 00:49, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - The sources found after my initial comment in addition to the one I already mentioned above seem to push Teresa into passing the WP:GNG .

Rorshacma ( talk ) 01:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to List of Barbie's friends and family#Female best friends , most non-notable characters get redirected, which is optimal for this one as well. - Samoht27 ( talk ) 18:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Rorshacma provided a good book reference, and there is plenty more: Another book gives about 2.5 pages to Teresa here in Barbie Culture by Mary F. Rogers. Sloan gives some discussion of her creation, lack of good marketing, and devolution to just another Barbie in Women's Roles in Latin America and the Carribbean , which was cited by Taber, Clover, and Sanford in "Performing gender in a Barbie Expo: White passivity, exotic otherness, and tradition in a fashionista bow" . Goldman also discusses the poor marketing and whitening of her in "La Princesa Plástica: Hegemonic and Oppositional Representations of Latinidad in Hispanic Barbie" (from the book From Bananas to Buttocks: The Latina Body in Popular Film and Culture , and then goes on to liken Teresa to Argentina and Barbie to the United States as they are depicted in a short film using the dolls as characters. Aguiló-Pérez also discusses Teresa in "Accessing Barbie Conversations about Class and Race", chapter four of An American Icon in Puerto Rico: Barbie, Girlhood, and Colonialism at Play identifying her as a common favorite amongst those that played with her and identified with her darker hair and skin, but also criticizing her relegation to the sidelines as Barbie is spotlighted in both animated releases and marketing commercials. The above doi links are all accessible via the WP:Library access. All that said, enough sources WP:NEXIST to establish her notability. The article can obviously be improved to incorporate some of this, but it does not need deletion. - 2pou ( talk ) 22:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : I am convinced by the sources found by Rorshacma (at least a page of The Marketing of Toys ) and 2pou (several pages in Barbie Culture ).

Yes, many are not RS but these would have been found on the most minimal WP:BEFORE search.

PhotographyEdits ( talk ) 12:52, 8 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Did you consider the Bhardwaj & Das book chapter? It is literally about cryptivirology ("the study in this chapter deals with the dynamics of worm propagation in cryptovirol- ogy"). Is that a passing mention?

Note that when "a whole lot" of papers cite a paper about a concept that can be evidence of notability. Can you confirm you did a WP:BEFORE search that included Google Scholar?

Therefore, this article should be a redirect to ransomware article. The term should only be mentioned in the early history of ransomware.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Malinaccier ( talk ) 13:56, 14 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : It looks like cryptovirology is essentially "the use of cryptography in viruses." It looks like it's mostly ransomeware encrypting data, but according to the article it's also about things like publishing user data in encrypted form to be found by virus makers, and also asymmetric backdoors. So if the article was to be merged it would have to be merged into multiple articles. Ransomware seems to have pretty good coverage of encryption usage Backdoor (computing) has a section on asymmetric backdoors that references essentially the same things as the cryptovirology article Private information retrieval is something the article claims is a theoretical use of cryptography in viruses The rest (the article mentions viruses communicating with cryptography, and "cryptographic counters") would have to go into Computer virus So the real question is probably whether the use of cryptography in viruses is well-covered enough that it needs its own article. Mrfoogles ( talk ) 15:02, 14 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There's also Kleptography , which may get its own AFD if this one succeeds but could be a merge target. One of the books mentioned above distinguishes cryptovirology into "active" and "passive", where active is essentially ransomware and passive is essentially the kleptography article, so by that definition we would have it covered. The one thing missing is cryptographical virus communication, but that's not discussed in the article other than a trivial mention, so there would be nothing to merge. Mrfoogles ( talk ) 15:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] > So the real question is probably whether the use of cryptography in viruses is well-covered enough that it needs its own article. My answer to this is a pretty clear 'no'. Also, all the articles you linked is pretty much industry standard terminlogy, while this really is not. My vote is either 'delete' or 'merge and redirect'. Ransomware seems like the best merge target. I might open an AfD to Kleptography as well soon.

The interurban stop probably doesn't qualify it for notability I'd be open to a redirect to Dick Johnson Township or a move to Cottage Hill Cemetery but meh. Update: I skimmed a history of early transport in Indiana and no sign of Cottage Hill just the discouraging comment "The country lying between Terre Haute and Indianapolis was an almost unbroken wilderness, the settlements were separated by extensive and gloomy forests, and only a few villages were scattered along the line of the National Road. The railroad left this latter highway at Plainfield, from which point to Greencastle but a few settlements were to be found, and beyond that place for a number of miles conditions were even worse."

List of Aeroflot destinations: A discussion at AN advised editors to nominate lists at AfD in an orderly manner and include a link to the RfC in their nominations; it was also recommended that the closer of the AfD take the RfC closure into account. The consensus has been reaffirmed in several AfDs since then. This list violates WP:NOT . Wikipedia is not meant to host a database of every single city that an airline flies to as of March 2024 or whatever month it is. Nor is it supposed to provide an indiscriminate collection of every destination in history. Even if Aeroflot flew to some city for a few years in the 1960s, it gets added to the list. Not to mention that in Soviet times, Aeroflot flew to over 3,000 destinations! All the former destinations border on airline trivia. If we look at how the list is referenced, we realize that it is basically a repository for airline data. Someone accessed the airline's route map in December 2018 and cited it for over 100 destinations. When I click the link today, I am only able to download an undated table of Aeroflot's routes. To verify all current destinations, I can instead visit the airline's flight schedule and copy down all the cities that appear when I click the dropdown under "City of departure", or I can consult a third-party aggregator of scheduling data, like Flightradar24 or FlightMapper.net . Then one of these websites can be cited for each current destination. You can add more references, like news stories about a new destination, but they would be redundant. Also, you cannot use such a reference on its own to say that Aeroflot still flies to a given city as of this month . For example, the reference for Lagos is a list of destinations from 2000 and the city is labeled 'terminated', which implies that someone had to check Aeroflot's current schedule to see if it still flies there. Ultimately we have established that the information in the list is indeed verifiable. But the problem here is not one of verifiability. It is one of suitability – the suitability for Wikipedia of a list that essentially reorganizes data sourced from flight databases. In addition, maintaining the list effectively makes it a newsfeed of airline destination updates. For instance, the list informs the reader that Aeroflot will resume flights to Chengdu on 1 April 2024, and in December 2023 it noted that service to Sanya would begin on 27 December and to Blagoveshchensk on 31 January. The tracking of these periodic changes in airline schedules goes against WP:NOTNEWS . There are 187 remaining stand-alone lists of airline destinations. I am only nominating Aeroflot's as a test case for those list articles that include prose. While the list is unsuitable for Wikipedia, the prose has to be addressed separately. Some of it repeats information found in the history section of the parent article, and I have copied over some of the remaining prose. Please see my explanation on the talk page of what prose I copied or did not copy to the parent article. (So if the outcome of this AfD is that Wikipedia should not have this list article, I believe we'd need to redirect it to the parent article rather than delete it to comply with WP:PATT .)

The information about past destinations or the destinations of a defunct airline may not be readily available elsewhere.

Aeroflot's route network was not just the routes it could make money on, but included destinations that it served because of the national interests of the Soviet Union.

If that were the case, instead of having articles meant primarily to present a digest of information found in secondary sources we'd just present raw data and let our readers figure out what they all mean. It's like saying that we should have lists of all the people who've every lived in Moscow because that will help us better to understand Moscow. A live feed of raw data (including, for example, hourly Dow Jones Industrial Average figures since the Dow's inception, right through today's closing bell) just isn't what Wikipedia is. Largoplazo ( talk ) 23:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I will echo what Largoplazo said as well as Beeblebrox's comment in the RfC regarding the difference between information and knowledge . This list is just raw information: "As of March 2024, Aeroflot flies to Yerevan, Baku, Minsk, ..." and "Aeroflot used to fly to Kabul, Algiers, Luanda, ..." It does not impart any of the knowledge that you describe in your last two sentences. The list could comfortably exist on an aviation-enthusiast wiki. On Wikipedia, however, WP:NOT defines our scope, and lists of airline destinations like this one lie outside of it. Sunnya343 ( talk ) 04:36, 21 March 2024 (UTC) Struck those sentences since I've been criticizing aviation enthusiasts unfairly. Sunnya343 ( talk ) 01:06, 1 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I must note again that merely including up-to-date information like start dates is not a violation of notnews, nor is that a basis for deletion as an aversion for detail can simply be resolved by noting a route is upcoming. There is nothing wrong with Wikipedia maintaining periodic changes, though it may not be necessary to have standalone articles dedicated to a single corporation's business operations like this; my greater concern would be the lack of detail as it's not particularly useful to a reader that a certain airport is a terminated destination (when? from where?). Reywas92 Talk 20:13, 20 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] At the risk of bludgeoning, I wanted to clarify that my idea with the NOTNEWS argument is similar to what FOARP said in the AfDs that they started: if you try to keep the list up to date (which is what people in good faith have been doing), what you would have would essentially be an airline news-service, and Wikipedia is not news ( source ). We can disagree about whether the practice of documenting every single change to an airline's destinations is a NOTNEWS violation. However, even if we discontinue this practice, we are still left with the NOTDB argument, which is my main argument. Sunnya343 ( talk ) 16:33, 22 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This isn't really related to the AfD but per Reywas92's point... it is useful to note terminated destinations for readers in some instances, especially for readers interested in the historical footprint of an airline, such as myself. SportingFlyer T · C 17:14, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] As an aviation enthusiast I, too, am genuinely fascinated by certain destinations, and I do believe there is a place to talk about some of them on Wikipedia. A great example would be the paragraphs that people wrote in the Anchorage and Magadan airport articles about Aeroflot's and Alaska Airlines' flights between Russia and Alaska in the 1990s. Sunnya343 ( talk ) 00:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep There is significant prose in this list article, and which destinations were served by the primary carrier during the Cold War is not insignificant in the slightest. I don't think WP:NOTNEWS applies here, and simply listing the destinations of most airlines does violate WP:NOT - except, of course, when it's encyclopaedic, meaning it's beyond mere directory or database, and Aeroflot is one of the airlines where I think the information is clearly encyclopaedic. I would be open to alternatives in how to present the information, though. SportingFlyer T · C 20:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I would be open to alternatives in how to present the information, though. Regarding historical destinations, we already have a great alternative: Aeroflot § History . Sunnya343 ( talk ) 04:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That's already very lengthy. SportingFlyer T · C 12:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment to the people who've opined so far and those who follow: As the nominator noted, this nomination follows from an RFC that already took place. This isn't the place to relitigate it—that would take another RFC. Given the RFC, this is the place to determine whether compliance with it calls for the deletion of this article, or whether there are factors that set it apart from the domain of articles that the RFC covered. Largoplazo ( talk ) 23:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Most of the airline destination articles which were deleted were simple lists of destinations which violated WP:NOTDIRECTORY , which is what that RfC agreed on. This article is above and beyond WP:NOTDIRECTORY because of the prose involved. It's possibly a valid split. SportingFlyer T · C 12:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Please see my discussion of the prose in this article in the last paragraph of my rationale. Sunnya343 ( talk ) 02:10, 22 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] While such a list does seem unlikely to be kept up to date, and I do not see it as particularly useful, It is not obvious exactly what part of WP:NOT it is claimed to violate. · · · Peter Southwood (talk) : 07:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I am referring mainly to WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE .

Rosbif73 ( talk ) 09:11, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I agree that moving/combining the data to the Aeroflot page as a subsection. However, the data should *somehow* be kept and not fully deleted.

I believe that consensus has changed since the 2018 RfC given that there are still nearly 200 pages like this for various airlines, without even getting into such lists that may appear in the articles about the airlines themselves, and the 2018 RfC should be disregarded. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - These historical destination lists are encyclopedic and the RFCs stated do not support this AFD proposal of removing historic destinations. To put a more clear delineation - this AFD request cites discussions and RFC's that are all about maintaining/keeping lists "up to date". Ignoring that isolated focus, the proposed articles for deleted contain lists of historical destinations as a well cited/detailed information relevant to the history of that airline. Removing these historical, indelible/unchanging facts (well cited and structured) runs contrary to the aim of Wikipedia. These historical lists of destinations do not fall afoul of any of the WP:NOT or WP:NOTDIRECTORY.

It is not a listed building (I have verified this at the National Heritage List for England ), but there is a substantial paragraph in Christopher Stell's Nonconformist Chapels and Meeting-houses in the North of England (1994), which is considered to be the definitive gazetteer of Nonconformist places of worship in England. I need to find out whether there is anything in the Buildings of England : Cheshire volume. Leave it with me for now and I will update. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 19:48, 11 January 2024 (UTC) Note to add: I've asked at WP:RX re. Buildings of England: Cheshire . Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 19:56, 11 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Follow-up : the chapel is mentioned in the Buildings of England : Cheshire volume, but not substantially: Baptist Church, Higher Lane. Built in 1850. Of stone, with nice Decorated Gothic window tracery. The attached school was added in 1851 and extended a year later. The earlier part has two big gables, the latter gabled dormers and windows with cusped heads. (p.447) I suspect that won't be enough, even alongside the much more substantial piece in Stell. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 16:43, 13 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep : I see this news story, which provides RS SIGCOV but does not otherwise build towards GNG due to it being local coverage. This is a pretty neat source with SIGCOV, but it's partially by a congregant and was published by the denomination that the church is affiliated with. A similar problem exists with this . Another local news story can be seen here . There are two images on a local history website showing that the congregation has been around a while, but add nothing towards GNG. This is a missionary org associated with the parish that against adds nothing towards GNG. Ditto for this . This is RS but is local and just says they raised funds for refugees of the war in Ukraine. All in all, the church is real and likely of at least some local historical note, given what Hassocks5489 turned up. Since we can verify it with one independent source and it seems to be a focal point for that region's Baptists, I say it can be considered weakly notable outside of the GNG standard. ~ Pbritti ( talk ) 19:54, 11 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] For what it's worth, this book only covered the CoE parish in town, so I suppose it's unlikely the building is of architectural interest. ~ Pbritti ( talk ) 20:47, 11 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I am not sure I follow along with the conclusion that the links above show it is a focal point for Baptists in the region. It is a meeting point for sure, by nature of being a church, and presumably the focal point for Baptists in that town. But Lymm itself is just over a half-hour drive from both Manchester and Liverpool, which are presumably host to much more of a true focal point for Baptists in the region, unless we define region very narrowly.

I say this as someone who is interested in British nonconformist chapels and who has delved into 100 year old newspaper archives to read about them. For me the issues are a) the architecture is nothing special for the era b) there are hundreds of similar chapels across the UK (for example in my Welsh village there were 8 similar chapels of different denominations of which 4 are still standing, all of which have a history documented in newspapers and mentioned in local church history books) and there's not much which is unique about this one c) there's an unwarranted importance given to small religious congregations which would not be deemed notable in other circumstances. For me, I think there's a line and a small congregation in a building that only dates back to the 1860s of a kind that is frequently seen across the country is not really notable - even if there is a newspaper trail of articles about fetes, preachers and prizegiving ceremonies.

Khangarh, Sindh North8000 ( talk ) 21:46, 15 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] but the city and the tehsil are two different things. Mccapra ( talk ) 21:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Mccapra : ?? ? I don't understand. Saqib gave sources for Khangarh and said that it's the same thing as this AFD. You said keep based on those sources, but when I said Khangarh already has an article you said that this AFD article is not the same thing. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk ) 22:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Saqib’s sources verify that Khangarh/Khan Garh is a local government area (tehsil). As a local government area any tehsil is notable. Tehsils may or may not be approximately similar to towns, and the fact that we already have an article on the town doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also have an article on the tehsil. Is what I meant. Mccapra ( talk ) 23:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment The article has only one reference which is dead but is archived at the wayback machine. And what's at the wayback machine does not even mention the topic. That said, I'm going to step back and let others decide. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk ) 01:40, 19 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep for the same reason that we have articles on Schenectady County, New York and Schenectady, New York . Phil Bridger ( talk ) 19:56, 21 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The question isn't whether or not a Tehsil is suitable to have an article. The question is: do we have a suitable source that says that the TEHSIL of Khan Garh exists? North8000 ( talk ) 02:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] [4] [5] [6] and [7] all easily available from Ghotki District show that Khan Garh or Khangarh is a verifiable tehsil/taluka. Eluchil404 ( talk ) 05:34, 22 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Phil Bridger . Local government units at the Tehsil level are routinely kept on Wikipedia even in the absence of GNG level sourcing. Eluchil404 ( talk ) 00:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: More policy-based discussion is needed. Just because something exists, does not make it notable. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Shadow311 ( talk ) 19:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment To simplify, I'd agree (and already agreed) that a Tehsil meets NGeo should be kept without needing GNG sources. I looked at all of the sources noted, and from what I can see none of them is a wiki-suitable confirms that the TEHSIL of Khan Garh exists. The only reference in the article is to a sources list in the wayback machine which seems to say it doesn't exist. Others are ambiguous, don't say that it is a Tehsil, and seem to be referring to Khangarh, Sindh . Others are to blank sourceless pages in the wayback machine (including the only two cites at the Ghotki District article and even those don't really say that it exists. Can somebody find ONE wp:RS that clearly says that it exists as a Tehsil? And maybe even put it in the article because the article currently the article has ZERO wp:RS sources, and even the one non-RS source that it has (a sourceless page in the wayback machine) doesn't even claim that it exists. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk ) 19:59, 22 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You seem to being deliberately obtuse here, as Eluchil404 in his reply to you above listed sources (I checked the first and the third, which is enough) that confirm that this is a tehsil. If you didn't know that a taluka is the same as a tehsil then just look in your favourite encyclopedia. Phil Bridger ( talk ) 20:25, 22 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Please quit the "deliberately" crap. Beyond that, I've done my best here. I'm going to unwatch this and let y'all decide. Anybody please ping me if I may be of assistance.

This is some further reporting on the scandal and Born.

Presuming that you are who you say you are -- and any rando on the Internet can make any such claim -- you are not Katrin Kneipp herself. Even in legitimate BLPREQUESTDELETE cases, such requests from third parties are not considered. Ravenswing 20:05, 15 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep regardless of subject preferences. No, there is no necessity of deleting pages based only on subject demands. WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE is only for borderline cases. APS Fellow is not borderline; it is a clear pass of WP:PROF#C3 . Her citation record also gives a strong pass of WP:PROF#C1 , far from borderline for that criterion. I think we should have articles on all female APS Fellows. Allowing subject preferences to stand (regardless of their legitimacy) would put an unfixable gap in our coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Eppstein ( talk • contribs ) Keep: Leaving aside that there are many people who'd love to wipe clean biographies they themselves can't curate, I agree that this isn't a borderline case, and there's no evidence to suggest that this is really the subject. In any event, people who are resolute in keeping out of the public eye probably ought not publish research papers bearing their names, or give interviews. Ravenswing 13:55, 15 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep under the assumption that the requester is not Katrin Kneipp herself, or someone with a full power of attorney (due to illness or similar).

If this was by the subject or an authorized representative (which a husband alone is not) then provided there was nothing contraversial in the page, the deletion request should be honored. The topic of Right to privacy is not simple, neither is Right to be forgotten . Independent of these a person should have the right to correct erroneous information about themselves and have it removed.

Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute: Almost all of the sources cited in the article are primary sources. The only sources I've been able to uncover that discuss the organization in-depth are from trade or gun hobbyist publications, which fails ORGIND (particularly here, where the trade publications are also run by organizations that have ties to the firearms manufacturing industry). voorts ( talk / contributions ) 16:36, 7 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations , Firearms , and United States of America . voorts ( talk / contributions ) 16:36, 7 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] SAAMI documents are widely used, e.g. at the UN, see https://unece.org/search_content_unece? keyword=saami or https://meetings.unoda.org/meeting/62086/documents . It's unlikely you'll uncover in depth discussion from third parties about most standards bodies, so let's be ready to remove International Electrotechnical Commission too.

If a standards body has not received significant coverage, it is not notable per NCORP; organizations are not inherently notable.

I added URLs referencing the organisation activity that are not from trade rags. You'll hopefully agree that the UN references pass the significant, independent, reliable and secondary criteria... The main issue here is that trade rags seem to be much better at SEO than more important organization like ANSI or the UN, making it look like all coverage is from industry rags... JidGom ( talk ) 18:15, 7 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I disagree that the links you've provided meet NCORP because they're search results, and the first search result from the first link is a submission by SAAMI , which is obviously not independent.

Oaktree b ( talk ) 16:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Receiving "significant coverage" in multiple reliable sources, as emphasized in my vote above, aligns with the WP:GNG standard. WP:SIG specifies that "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. I have cited two additional sources to further substantiate the content and will continue to augment the references for a comprehensive overview. 1.23.251.79 ( talk ) 16:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : WP:INVALIDBIO WP:BIOFAMILY User4edits ( talk ) 16:55, 5 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] FYI the article is not based on WP:INVALIDBIO or WP:BIOFAMILY and it appears there might be an oversight in reviewing the WP:GNG guidelines, which specify that A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I also must point out that in this edit, you removed two of his official positions in a central government institution without any valid reason. Furthermore, attempting to suggest that the article is based on an WP:INVALIDBIO or WP:BIOFAMILY biography is not accurate. 1.23.251.79 ( talk ) 17:29, 5 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Saying an appointment in a committee of MTNL , that too only a specific region of Mumbai is equivalent to a committee of Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (India) is absurd, and so is being named as a member for representing one out of 28 states in 2008 (16 years ago).

As per these guidelines individuals are considered notable if they have received significant coverage from multiple secondary sources that are reliable, independent and unaffiliated with the subject. Furthermore it's emphasized that even if the coverage in any single source may not be extensive the aggregation of multiple independent sources suffices to establish notability. Given the presence of multiple sourced materials within the article the subject in question unequivocally meets the criteria stipulated by these policies to affirm notability.- FitIndia Talk (Admin on Commons) 02:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment It's worth noting that an analysis of pageviews for the article reveals consistent engagement with significant monthly views since its inception.

Oaktree b ( talk ) 20:30, 22 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and rename to Arco I . This really is (was) a terrible article: as far as I can tell the "Big Mama" nickname is completely made up, the connection to Ötzi is highly speculative to say the least, and even the title is spelled wrong (it's about a stel e , not a stel a ). But underneath it there is actually a notable topic, which is named in one of the external links as Arco I . Google Scholar and Google Books searches turn up plenty of sources that could be used to expand it. For now I've stubbed it to verifiable info. If kept it should be moved, if not to Arco I then to something like Arco stelae where we could cover the whole group of six. – Joe ( talk ) 09:00, 23 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Rename per above.

The question is more one of WP:PAGEDECIDE : covering them together in Arco stelae would avoid repeating a lot of contextual information, but we currently only have material on Arco I, so unless someone is volunteering to write about the others I don't see that as a viable outcome right now.

Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament final: As such, there is no need to have separate articles for every final, unless that much is extraordinary and therefore has exceptional, WP:SUSTAINED coverage. The 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020 men's finals do not achieve sustained coverage, and therefore are just an unnecessary WP:CFORK from the main articles about football at these Olympics.

Regards. Govvy ( talk ) 13:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : What part of WP:CFORK policy indicates these articles are unnecessary? Looking at WP:BADFORK , it seems like only two types of content forks ( "Pages of the same type on the same subject" and "Point of view (POV) forks" ) are considered unacceptable, and this article doesn't fit into either of those categories. On the other hand, it does seem to fit into the WP:GOODFORK criteria of Article spinoffs: "Summary style" meta-articles and summary sections , so that seems like it would be an argument for keeping the article. -- Habst ( talk ) 13:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] A page that covers the same subject as another page of the same type is often called a "redundant content fork". The most common occurrence of redundant content forks results in 2 articles on the same thing; the extra one is a "redundant article fork". A separate article on the finals is not needed, when it could be covered perfectly well in the main articles e.g. Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament , and a split is not required as the article is not too long. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 13:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Joseph2302 , thank you, I don't think that describes the current situation though. There is no redundancy because all the information in Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament final isn't covered in the parent Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament . If it could be covered perfectly well, then I think that would need to be done first before a deletion decision is made. In fact, the gold medal match is only given a small four-line table in the parent article with no match details at all, and despite that the article is already pretty lengthy due to having to cover every other match as well. -- Habst ( talk ) 13:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] A selective merge can be done if that's the consensus of this AFD. But creating separate articles for the finals of an under-23s tournament where the main article has almost no text about its matches isn't the correct article setup. the article is already pretty lengthy due to having to cover every other match as well. That article is long because it's filled with tables and WP:NOTSTATS violations, whereas prose is what that main article needs, as per MOS:PROSE . Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 15:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Joseph2302 , WP:NOTSTATS says that the solution to too many stats is actually to split them out into a separate article, which I believe is contradictory to the premise of this AfD wanting to remove content forks: Where statistics are so lengthy as to impede the readability of the article, the statistics can be split into a separate article and summarized in the main article . Prose can and should certainly be added, and there is definitely enough WP:GNG coverage to summarize, e.g. at [59] and [60] . But adding prose would only make the article longer, which would further necessitate a content fork. Thanks, -- Habst ( talk ) 18:49, 25 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The main article needs prose as per MOS:PROSE . Splitting the prose out into the final article instead of in the main article is not correct. Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 09:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Joseph2302 , thanks, I do agree with that. Because the main article needs prose and is already quite long, that would necessitate splitting out some sections into content fork articles, so I'll !vote to Keep this article on that merit combined with the above WP:GNG sourcing. -- Habst ( talk ) 12:36, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football 's list of association football-related deletions.

Table manners in North America: In fact it is about the History of table manners in North America and is heavily slanted towards the etiquette inherited from Europe. It does not even (as far as I can tell) acknowledge that Other People Exist and that people in North America who do not share a European heritage have very different norms. In terms of policy, I'm arguing that WP:NOTESSAY applies and that it is essentially impossible to write a page on this subject without a large dose of WP:OR and bias. I accept sources exist. I accept on that basis the topic is notable and noted. But this page has not been substantially edited for many years, has displayed bias for many years and has asserted that something extremely complicated (ie eating norms within a highly multicultural society) are relatively simple (ie the norms inherited from Europe are the basis for etiquette for everyone there). I can't see how this can be overcome. JMWt ( talk ) 07:27, 16 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of United States of America-related deletion discussions .

I'm sympathetic to the idea of addressing imbalance, but I can't see how we're ever going to end up with an article covering social norms of eating in a wide range of cultures if we simply delete the article because it's unbalanced.

Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics: I found no widespread evidence of significant coverage by WP:RS.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 22:18, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Really seems to me that this should have been bundled with the nomination of David Kelly , as the two are almost inextricably linked. Here are some sources not present in either article: AMS Notices , more than one full paragraph devoted to discussing HCSSiM Passing mention in a book about Paul Erdos Post at the AMS Blogs about HCSSiM (note that AMS blogs are similar to the blogs described at WP:NEWSBLOG ; they have a legitimate editorial process) [26] fluffy coverage of Kelly in the Riverside Press-Enterprise versions of the article about speed limits were published moderately widely (e.g. in the Boston Globe more AMS stuff -- JBL ( talk ) 23:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi! I am an alumna of the program in question. I'm 100% new to editing wikipedia, so please pardon my lack of knowledge about how everything works. I agree the article is inadequately sourced, and would be more than happy to try to find better sources for lots of it, but I wanted to check first what kinds of sources are allowed. I have read WP:NOR and understand that sources should be secondary or tertiary sources, but am unsure what kinds of sources qualify as such. For example, does this letter to the editor (page 2 of the pdf, from Susan Landau) qualify as a secondary source? Or this one? Also, there is a documentary being made about the program. When that gets published, will it be a secondary source or a primary source? With-High-Probability ( talk ) 22:37, 14 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] (To clarify since I can't figure out how to edit - the second post I linked is self-published, but it is by a mathematician and mathematics educator, which means it's a subject matter expert AIUI.) With-High-Probability ( talk ) 22:40, 14 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] A documentary could be primary or secondary depending on the details. For example, if it has footage of someone involved with the program being interviewed as a "talking head", then I'd call that a primary source for the person's own statements. What I'd look for is whether the program itself had editorial control over the documentary, i.e., whether the documentary is independent . XOR'easter ( talk ) 01:14, 17 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi With-High-Probability , I found both the sources you mention (Susan Landau's letter and Jim Propp's blog post) but decided not to include them in my list as indica of notability; I think they could be used cautiously as sources if the article is kept. (Landau's letter could perhaps be used to support inclusion of people on a list of alums, for example.) -- JBL ( talk ) 21:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . There are by now many other summer mathematics research programs for bright high school students, but this appears to be the one that started them all. I think there is enough coverage for GNG as linked above. For another hard-to-Google but in-depth and reliably published source, there's Susan Landau's "How I spend my summer vacations", AWM Newsletter 11(6), 1981, pp. 8-9, https://www.drivehq.com/folder/p8755087/1748723574.aspx .

Mapping indicates residences thereabouts per OpenStreetMap and aerial views but boundaries of the settlement appear not to be strictly defined. Acknowledge there's little to say, but this shouldn't mean wiping communities off Wikipedia (if I'm allowed to put it in such terms).

Derna dam collapses: (Doing bullet point list since reasoning is a lot & currently featured ITN article is involved in discussion) In the creation edit ( [16] ) it was noted that 18,700+ bytes were directly copied from Storm Daniel’s article. Prior to AfD (excluding a bot edit), article was 20,700 bytes, meaning only 2,000 bytes worth of new content, which from a look at the edit history, is mostly source and format style additions (aka barely any new content). Article is directly tied to Talk:Storm Daniel/Archive 1#We should split up the section about the dams collapses into a separate article , which currently has a completely split consensus. A formal discussion & discussion close is probably needed, given the complexity of the issue and large-split issue involving a currently featured ITN article. Previous article on this event, 2023 Libya flooding was merged following talk page discussion consensus . Given the lack of consensus and basic WP:CONTENTFORK , article needs to be deleted until a consensus forms to create/split the dam collapses out of Storm Daniel . Noting for reference that Storm Daniel is currently featured on ITN at the time of this AfD nomination. The Weather Event Writer ( Talk Page) 17:47, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep or create better split — The Daniel article is becoming >100,000 bytes; and will expand much more as there is still daily notable coverage. In the next year there will be a long aftermath, so it needs to be split at one point. Starting with copy-paste (like had been done) followed with a short summary at the main page is a good way in my opinion. 109.37.148.122 ( talk ) 18:13, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wanting to point out, that was already done in Draft:2023 Libya flood (created prior to this article and is in a whole lot better shape than this article). Given the lack of consensus for this article to even exist right now, the copy/paste WP:CONTENTFORK is not the proper course of action and needs to be deleted until there is a consensus for such an article. The CONTENTFORK article was opposed to be several editors and supported to by several editors. The issue on whether or not it is notable is irrelevant, given the lack of consensus in the ongoing discussion involving more than 30 editors. The Weather Event Writer ( Talk Page) 18:47, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] CONTENTFORK is not the main discussion here, because this discussion is about the bigger question if a page should exist about the Derna dam collapses. After this consensus CONTENTFORK should be solved. So that’s my reasoning, in the broader perspective, a page with content about the dam collapse could exist and so I vote keep. (An easier way could have been redirecting this CONTENTFORK-page to the storm Daniel page and starting a discussing at the talk page there). And note that the discussion you are talking about, was at the time the article was around 25,000 bytes; while it now 3.5 times bigger and still expanding. 109.37.148.122 ( talk ) 07:15, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events and Libya .

Thebiguglyalien ( talk ) 22:42, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Nothing nationalist about it, I'm not Libyan, I'm just very heartbroken and felt like saying the sad truth that media doesn't give the attention to non-Western tragedies like it does western ones. I know this article will be deleted and my comment wasn't a "vote", just felt like its something people should be thinking about. Feel free to remove it if you think its wrong to comment about it. ★Trekker ( talk ) 22:46, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ StarTrekker : It really wasn't something for people to think about. There isn't anyone that questions the notability of the topic. The main problem is that this is duplicated text. It was literally copy/pasted from Storm Daniel , which is currently featured and mentioned on Wikipedia's main page (In The News section). That is why it needs to be deleted. It would be the same as if someone copy and pasted the information from Tornadoes of 2023 into an article of Tornadoes during 2023 . That is why I nominated it for deletion as a WP:CONTENTFORK , which is point blank a duplication reason. You might want to consider striking through your comment, as it really sounds like an accusation toward other editors (i.e. WP:ASPERSIONS ). Cheers! The Weather Event Writer ( Talk Page) 22:56, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . Unnecessary duplication of content from an article that does not need to be split. This can all stay in a single article per WP:NOPAGE . Thebiguglyalien ( talk ) 22:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Changing to Keep as the main issues have been addressed. Thebiguglyalien ( talk ) 05:25, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and improve. The dam failure and the storm are two distinct and independently notable events. This situation meets the criteria for a WP:CONTENTSPLIT . It is clearer for the encyclopedia to cover these two events in standalone pages, rather than having Storm Daniel be 75% about the dam collapse and 25% about the storm. Under the guidelines of WP:NOPAGE , the two should be separate articles - including the dam collapses in the Storm Daniel page makes it harder for a reader to understand the dam failures, not easier. Understanding the dam failures requires understanding the political and economic conditions of Libya since they were built - to me the political history better explains the disaster than the direct effects of Storm Daniel. The Storm Daniel page currently has a paragraph entirely about the successive changes in control of Derna during the civil war. It seems very silly to me to insist that that content stay on a page about a storm, rather than giving the dam collapses a proper treatment in its own article. Jsfigura ( talk ) 00:45, 18 September 2023 (UTC) — Jsfigura ( talk • contribs ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] Along the lines of this discussion, made a bunch of edits to get the article into better shape as a standalone article.

Jsfigura ( talk ) 02:08, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep or create better split I dont have a stake in this fight seeing how this discussion seems to me to be more of a procedural thing than a fdiscussion about the merits of the standalone article, but I do wanna voice my opinion that we should split off this section into the standalone article as argued by me and others here: Talk:Storm Daniel/Archive 1#We should split up the section about the dams collapses into a separate article Daikido ( talk ) 04:58, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Definitely. This is the second deadliest dam collapse in human history . Now, I understand that the timing of the creation wasn't right, since there was a discussion and no consensus yet, and this isn't to be encouraged, but we should move on. This is, of course, a notable enough article, there will, of course, be enough content to justify the split. This is just the beginning of a major humanitarian disaster. Death toll is going to rise, there will be better analysis of what happened. There will be political, social, infrastructure consequences. No doubt there will be enough material for a 100000 bytes article-- Kimdime ( talk ) 07:49, 18 September 2023 (UTC) Regarding the title of the article, I think it's right to focus it on Derna rather than Libya on a whole, seems like 98% of the victims are in Derna, so it totally makes sense.-- Kimdime ( talk ) 07:53, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and improve; the corresponding section at Storm Daniel#Derna dam failures can provide a summary. Yadsalohcin ( talk ) 09:32, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I split the article from the article on Storm Daniel in accordance with the guideline of WP:Splitting . It appeared that a consensus was emerging on the idea that it should be split, and so I removed some text from storm Daniel and put it into the new one, as the guidelines suggested. It appeared that a consensus had emerged but nobody had actually taken action to execute it, so I did that. It is clear that the second deadliest dam collapse in human history is a notable event in and of itself, and that the article on Storm Daniel was too long to be one article, so I moved some text from the Article on Storm Daniel and put it into the new one on the dam collapses. Now this is duplicate text, because somebody reverted my edit on Storm Daniel to put the text back there. Now that this is clear, the article on Derna Dam Collapses should be kept and improved, because it deserves an article. Narayansg ( talk ) 15:51, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep A notable event that easily pass GNG. Even though the storm is a cause, the collapse of the dams with its subsequent effect on Derna is the more significant event. It needs to be covered on that as a subject by itself rather than as only part of storm article. Hzh ( talk ) 18:43, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The collapse led to a significant number of fatalities, which makes it a notable event worthy of a stand-alone article. ArticCynda ( talk ) 18:55, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Withdrawing AfD — Reasons for the AfD seem to have been addressed (i.e. not a pure copy/paste WP:CONTENTFORK anymore) and there seems to now be a majority consensus for a split. I would like to note, as someone else earlier did as well, that @ Narayansg : did create the article at not an appropriate time, basically disregarding the discussion of 31 editors with several opposed to the split, but the majority consensus now is to keep/split the article, so AfD issues have been addressed. Cheers! The Weather Event Writer ( Talk Page) 19:36, 18 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Some editors have argued for Deletion so this AFD must not be closed early. L iz Read! Talk! 07:20, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I have for procedural reasons undone the content split and redirected the article to Storm Daniel , because this article was created at odds with the developing consensus there which has not been in favor of a split, especially as earlier consensus was to merge 2023 Libya floods . I don’t know if this should be converted to an RfD as a result, but I very strongly feel that this XfD should never have been opened—the discussion should stay centralized at Talk:Storm Daniel . — Jasper Deng (talk) 08:38, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You should try to read the room, there is quite many people here, in fact a strong majority, that expressed an opinion in favour of keeping this article, therefore undoing the split doesn't appear to be a constructive move even if it makes sense from a procedural perspective (and I agree it was not the right time to create the split, but we should move on)-- Kimdime ( talk ) 10:03, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is WP:NOTAVOTE . One of the keep !voters is an obvious WP:SPA that's a likely sock of someone (I'm trying to determine who, then will file the SPI). The participation at this AfD so far has been much less than at that that talk page discussion and the arguments presented here do not at all outweigh the arguments made there.-- Jasper Deng (talk) 10:19, 19 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Which account do you believe is a Wikipedia:SPA ? Jsfigura ( talk ) 01:31, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Jsfigura : It's quite obviously you, as I labeled above. Do you have any prior editing history? If so, please note it at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jsfigura . -- Jasper Deng (talk) 20:11, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I take great issue with this. Do not accuse me of being a sockpuppet without evidence. It's terrible behavior and terribly rude. I took the time to familiarize myself with the guidance to editors before commenting, particularly because the topic I wanted to comment on has some procedural nuance. I would have thought that was desirable for a new editor. We have differing opinions on how to handle this article - do not WP:BITE me. Jsfigura ( talk ) 20:52, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : notability is the sole criterion dictatating whether a subject deserves its own article, and the 2023 Derna dam collapse (or 2023 Derna flood or 2023 Libya flood) clearly does. I'd suggest adopting summary style and leaving behind, in Storm Daniel#Libya , an automatic excerpt of the new article's lead. I had proposed Draft:2023 Libya flood before. fgnievinski ( talk ) 00:50, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Per WP:GEOSCOPE and WP:LASTING . Events that have a demonstrable long-term impact on a significant region of the world or a significant widespread societal group are presumed to be notable enough for an article. Thilsebatti ( talk ) 07:32, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep since it appears the dam failures was actually due to poor infostructure due to the civil war, and the storm was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. Incoporating it in the storm article would require adding a massive background on the Libyan Civil War, which would distract from the main idea of the article. -- 72.68.134.26 ( talk ) 16:44, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge into Derna dam collapses The CONTENTFORK arguments have not been upheld at the discussion at Talk:Storm Daniel , and even if this AfD results in "keep" it will likely get redirected unless consensus at that talk page changes significantly.-- Jasper Deng (talk) 18:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The consensus in this discussion is to keep the page. The discussion at Talk:Storm Daniel never reached a consensus. Since this page was created, the large majority of comments on the issue have been here. I don't think it matters on which discussion page the consensus emerges, and I don't think that split discussion trumps the consensus to keep this page. Jsfigura ( talk ) 20:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The discussion at Talk:Storm Daniel is a clear consensus not to create. The discussion at that talk page has broader participation and therefore has more weight. - Jasper Deng (talk) 20:11, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Of the most recent ten comments in that discussion that make a support/oppose statement, 5 of them are in support of the split and 5 of them oppose. That does not seem to me like a clear consensus not to create a standalone article. That seems like no consensus reached. I'm getting tired of this discussion and I assume that someone else will make the consensus determination and deletion decision, so I suppose we'll see. Jsfigura ( talk ) 21:12, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Rename article to Derna disaster 2023. The disaster is a combination of factors, including Storm Daniel, the collapse of the dams, bad building codes and land use planning, little storm/flood water management, poor disaster response, and the civil war. Entitling the event as the Derma dam collapses is too narrow and only deals with a momentary event, but as we are seeing, this disaster is more complex, prolonged, and a combination of both human and nature factors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Firth m ( talk • contribs ) 18:58, 20 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as per multiple editors. The storm and the dam collapse were two different events, and it was the dam collapse that was catastrophic. Robert McClenon ( talk ) 03:16, 21 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Looks a valid content split. Passes notabilty criteria separately from Storm Daniel and nominator now agrees to retain. Rupples ( talk ) 19:08, 23 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as per above.

Auto dialer: Article has had lack of citation warnings on it since 2011 yet remains practically unsourced. Only section of article that is sourced relates to telemarketing regulations. Given that there exists a well-sourced article on telemarketing that makes reference to automatic dialing, seek to get agreement to redirect to that article.

Rambling Rambler ( talk ) 18:14, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment @ Rambling Rambler : You removed a section which was referenced to "Popular Mechanics" which is massively popular and one of the industry standards for those types of mags. I rememeber reading it, in the 1980's and 1990's. It seems to be a valid secondary source. The subject seems to notable and I think with a bit of work it could be a good article. scope_creep Talk 18:24, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, they've removed it twice now, and it was one of the things that inspired my objection to the BLAR. Sergecross73 msg me 18:31, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Scope creep : I removed it, as explained in the change notes, because the source was only used to support the following claim: "A semi-automatic dialer is a human-controlled dialer. All actions, such as dialing, playing the audio messages, recording, are initiated by a human, normally by the press of a key. It is a productivity tool for telemarketing agents. The first semi-automatic dialer was offered on the commercial market in 1942. It was manually operated and came in two models; one that stored 12 numbers and a second which could store up to 52 numbers." However if you read the source itself it only actually supports the lines I've put in bold in the above quote. It doesn't support the claim it was the first offered on the market, nor does it support the definition of a "semi-automatic dialer". Rambling Rambler ( talk ) 18:35, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Rambling Rambler , that's not good practice. What you could have done is put a cn-tag after the unverified bit, for instance. However, that article is talking about an auto-dialer of the mechanical kind, which isn't what the article is about, allegedly. Drmies ( talk ) 18:41, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Drmies if it was an article that was otherwise citation heavy and showed signs of active improvement I'd probably have done so. Here however it's an article with warnings going back a decade regarding a lack of verifiability, so when a quick google only shows marketing companies wanting to sell you stuff and seem to have just taken their content straight from this article (" In those days, auto dialers were semi-automatic dialers, and they were limited to storing between 12 and 52 numbers. Employees had to press a key to initiate the features ") I thought best to go on the side of caution by removing the section given it couldn't support the notable information of the subsection. Rambling Rambler ( talk ) 18:58, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Wait, Rambling Rambler --so you were trying to improve an underreferenced article by removing the one secondary source it had? Drmies ( talk ) 00:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Drmies , no, as previously said I was removing a source that was being used to back up claims the source doesn't corroborate. Nowhere does the source state that it's a "semi-automatic dialer" (a term and definition that is uncited itself) nor that, whatever the device in popular mechanics could be defined as, it's the first one on the market. In fact it's hard to consider the device in question an "automatic dialer" as described by the article lede; that being an electronic device or program that automatically dials a large amount of telephone numbers and either plays a pre-recorded message or connects to a human callhandler. Instead the device in the popular mechanics source is anything but that. In fact its implementation is really akin to an early version of the contact list on mobile phones, where the phone number is saved against another identifier (usually a name) and selecting that identifier is enough for the phone to dial the specific number associated. Rambling Rambler ( talk ) 00:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I am the one who objected to the BLAR. I understand that the article is in terrible shape. But AFD is not cleanup and I'm not seeing any actual argument for deletion besides that. It simply struck me as a lazy solution to a concept that is almost certainly notable, and not particularly urgent or sensitive that we needed an instant fix. It's not a concept I particularly edit or care about, merely a random move I stumbled upon and didn't agree with. Sergecross73 msg me 18:31, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yip. I agree totally. scope_creep Talk 18:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] " It simply struck me as a lazy solution to a concept that is almost certainly notable" It wasn't "lazy" at all. I read through the actually cited content in the autodialer article, noted the bottom contained a "see also" for the telemarketing article, and noticed that the article's content is effectively duplicated in that second article. Telemarketing details both the concept of automatic dialing and regulations on its use, both of the leftover thrusts of the auto dialer article after removing the unsourced content. Rambling Rambler ( talk ) 18:40, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Then replace "lazy" with "not the best approach to the situation". Sergecross73 msg me 18:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It's probably not a perfect solution but so far no one else has offered up any others to the situation other than just leaving it with zero applicable citations beyond duplicating content on the article I redirected it too. And frankly I find it most irritating when you've stated it's "not a concept I particularly edit or care about" and only seem to want to almost insultingly criticise what I did without offering any solutions yourself. Rambling Rambler ( talk ) 18:54, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The intention of that comment was simply to show I have no biases for or against auto dialers. I primarily work in music and video games, areas where there are constantly "fanboys/fangirls" trying to protect what they like or erase what they don't. " Swifties ", "K-pop Stans", people all caught up in the " console wars ", etc etc. I was merely saying I have no bias of that sort.

" Three best sources " is an essay rather than a guideline or policy, but for what it's worth this demonstrates there are three solid sources for the character's notability.

1944 Kearsley Shire Council election: Steelkamp ( talk ) 06:58, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and Australia . Steelkamp ( talk ) 06:58, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Oppose - Second line of the article clearly establishes notability, "the first time a communist party had won a local government majority in the English-speaking world" is 100% notable Obviously other Kearsley Shire Council elections should not and do not have their own pages Totallynotarandomalt69 ( talk ) 07:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That doesn't necessarily mean this election deserves its own page though.

Reywas92 Talk 18:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and I am surprised this article was even nominated for deletion. The second and third paragraphs of the introduction clearly establish notability. This is a notable local government election in Australian history, one that has attracted both specific studies by historians (Martin Mowbray's article in the leading journal Labour History , which is cited in the article) and observation in larger studies of the CPA. Stuart Macintyre in The Party frames his discussion of the CPA's local government efforts around its 1944 success in Kearsley (pp.155–156). J.D. Playford's PhD thesis, "Doctrinal and Strategic Problems of the Communist Party of Australia, 1945-1962" (ANU, 1962) suggests that the support the CPA secured in Kearsley and other municipalities influenced its postwar electoral strategy and objectives (pp.30–31). I also do not see the relevance of Kearsley not being a capital city LGA; much of note in Australian politics has occurred beyond capital cities and we should not encourage a capital-centric attitude. My recommendation, far from deletion, is expansion: there is plenty more to say about this unusual and notable result. Axver ( talk ) 00:14, 11 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Not only did this election end with a controversial result (the election of a handful of communist party members (5/8 seats) - the most in any local election, leading to a government majority), but there was ample coverage, and an indication of lasting effects. Trainsskyscrapers ( talk ) 3:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC) Keep the nominator's personal opinion regarding notability is irrelevant; there are more than adequate reliable sources, both contemporary and subsequent (even 50 years later, eg [19] ), to satisfy WP:NEVENT . Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk ) 00:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Goldsztajn and Trainsskyscrapers.

This is functionally a directory of works that a reader might expect to find when searching for the title phrase. Frankly, it is probably also possible to write a substantive and well-sourced article discussing the various scholarly juxtapositions of these characters as archetypes. BD2412 T 20:15, 26 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . It's useful as a disambiguation because there are a few titles that use similar formatting and it serves as a landing page for those titles. Since a disambiguation page is necessary, it might as well be a full fledged set index to catch the rest of the works where the characters overlap. Also, as BD mentions, an "actual encyclopedia article about the duo" should be encouraged here. -- T avix ( talk ) 01:30, 27 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : necessary dab page (or possibly set index), though needs some reformatting.

The Undying Land: Interested to hear if anyone else can show how this book meets the notability criteria for inclusion JMWt ( talk ) 12:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Science fiction and fantasy and Literature . JMWt ( talk ) 12:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources . Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says: A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources , at least one of the following criteria: The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy , or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

Retrieved 2023-07-17 – via Internet Archive . The review notes: "Similarly, a real Lost Race novel cannot be written anymore, because this is no longer 1890. All Mr. Gilmour has managed to do is create a pastiche. He has done so most skillfully, to the extent that, with very minor changes, The Undying Land would pass perfectly for an obscure novel published in All Story in 1911. He has got the whole routine down perfectly: competently readable prose, wooden characterization, impossible dialogue, wild implausibilities, and even a trace of Age of Imperialism racism. (That is, the non-negroid Lost Race is said to be more "clean cut" than regular Africans. A very authentic touch.)" Chow, Dan (January 1992). "The Undying Land" . Locus . No. 372.

2005–06 Udinese Calcio season: Zero in-depth sources from independent reliable secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG .

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Serie A season, reached semis of Coppa Italia , played in UEFA Cup , definitely has sources, (such as [14] ). Thanks, Das osmnezz ( talk ) 17:56, 18 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong keep Disclosure: I'm the one who started the article. I think being one of the top 20 football teams in one of the top 3 football leagues on the planet makes the article practically inherently notable. Yes, I will improve it with sources and more information, but the crazy urgency shown by Onel (it's NOT an old article) would've been warranted if the subject was more obscure. This nomination feels almost comically out of place at this point in time. At least Onel did the right thing by taking it to AfD instead of draftifying again. Oh, and draftifying is among the most arrogant thing a Wikipedia editor can do. O s c a r L 18:23, 18 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : Article is sourced only to databases. Fails GNG. There are no IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject - the season - directly and indepth. BEFORE showed nothing that meets SIGCOV. The above mentioned source is not about the subject of the article [15] . // Timothy :: talk 04:16, 21 April 2023 (UTC) // Timothy :: talk 04:16, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I don't know if you're acquainted with football, but season by season articles for each major team (among the biggest in the world) is the standard. The fact that sourcing could improve does not detract from the fact that the Udinese season, just like all the other ones in existence, is notable by virtue of its subject. See here : "Individual season articles for top-level professional teams are highly likely to meet Wikipedia notability requirements." It's not a case of "Other stuff exist" either, I am actually basing it on Wikipedia guidelines. Please, give me time to improve refs, I did not expect such a rushed action for something that is basically a staple in top level football club articles. O s c a r L 07:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Honestly, this one shouldn't even be a discussion. A top-flight Italian team which competed in a European competition easily garners SIGCOV to more than meet GNG. Online sources are available, including a number listed on the Italian Wiki . The article needs improving not deleting. Stevie fae Scotland ( talk ) 09:12, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - as above. Another nomination where no knowledge of the subject has been shown and no research/BEFORE has been undertaken. Giant Snowman 11:29, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep/Draftify as per above this is a top Italian team and one of the top European and world at the time so clearly warrants a season article. This article is clearly in need of improving, not deleting . However, as this is almost 20 years after the season, I don't understand the pushback by OscarLake to draftifying the article and improving it in draft space. Currently the article is a short lede, an inclusion of the ladder, and the squad. -- SuperJew ( talk ) 15:11, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The problem with draftifying an article that is (or should be) assumed to be notable enough is that it reduces the amount of editors who can help out with improvement. No one beyond the article creator is going to know about the draft's existence really. Also, I don't take kindly to one single editor undemocratically taking it off mainspace with no consensus-seeking discusisons beforehand. The nominator in question has gotten criticism for this. If you are draftifying at the speed and volume that the nominator is, then there will be a pushback from some editors. Communication and collaboration are important for the Wikipedia project, neither of which happened in this case. O s c a r L 16:36, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I understand your point, and I would support having the article in the mainspace if it was a recent season, but as it's over 20 years ago, I don't think having it in mainspace encourages too many editors to work on it. Regardless I am against deleting it. Regarding the nominator, I'm not such a big frequenter of AfD, but after this, just today I came across a bunch of bad nominations by them, so I can understand. -- SuperJew ( talk ) 05:47, 23 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Stevie’s argument above. REDMAN 2019 ( talk ) 15:33, 21 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Yes article has issues and needs work, but AfD is not cleanup. Bad nomination.
