- Delete: No sources in article, BEFORE showed nothing that meets SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth from IS RS. Fails GNG, ORGCRIT for corp, nothing in the article relates to NBUILD. There are lots of directory listings, and a student that found fame, but neither of these show notability for the subject. This is a normal school, nothing notable. If someone finds an alternative search term, please ping me. No objection to a redirect if a consensus target is agreed. // Timothy :: talk 22:28, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

I couldn't find anything about this artist. I believe for now he fails the notability guidelines - there's no significant coverage. If someone adds the appropriate sources to prove the subject is notable, I will gladly withdraw my nomination. Less Unless (talk) 12:31, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: Apparently Per Dahlström discusses Ture Alfredsson in his doctoral dissertation, Särlingskap och konstnärsmyt, from 2002. I've written to Dahlström to ask if there's any way to get an electronic copy, as well as asked my library to get it for me through an interlibrary loan. /Julle (talk) 15:26, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Delete there is nothing to indicate that he is anything more than a locally known folk artist. His initial situation seems similar to some artists who were:"discovered" by the Souls Grown Deep Foundation. However, the notable SGD artists had their work collected by major museums-- and written about in books, magazines and newspapers. This artist has next to no coverage, no museums and no reviews. There is nothing on the Swedish Wikipedia either.Possibly (talk) 16:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Apparently there is also something about him in Olle Hessle, Okända mästare, skulptur på egna vägar (2008). He is mentioned in a page on local curiosities in Årjäng here.
How about selectively merging this to the Årjäng Municipality article (i.e. mentioning him there with two or three sentences) and redirecting this article there?--Hegvald (talk) 01:51, 8 February 2021 (UTC)- Keep, based on Julle's checking of sources. --Hegvald (talk) 10:40, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - I'm all for self-taught artists and folk artists, however, this one is not notable. There are tens of thousands of such artists throughout the world, and we can't have an article on all of them. In this case, there just is not the kind of significant coverage in reliable sources that is required to pass WP:GNG. Netherzone (talk) 18:04, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:32, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - per Julles comment and source available in the article. I think this is just within the threshold for inclusion.BabbaQ (talk) 18:53, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. I've now read Särlingskap och konstnärsmyt (Dahlström, 2002) as well as Dahlström's short chapter on Alfredsson in Okända mästare : Skulptur på egna vägar (2008, ed. Olle Nessle) and expanded the article somewhat as well as added them to support existing statements. I'm guessing the text on Alfredsson in En hôger Sellere which was the one source in the article earlier depends a lot on Dahlström, it seems to say very similar things. Additiontally, sv:Kerstin Högstrand wrote an article about Alfredsson in Värmländsk kultur 16:4, 1995, "Mannen med tidspistolen : om bonden, snickaren och skulptören Ture Alfredsson, Sillerud", which I don't have access to right now. In total, this means that we have a) a number of good, reliable sources from more than person, b) that the texts focus on Alfredsson specifically, at length – he's not merely mentioned in passing – and c) that they cover a significant span of time: He died in 1984, yet these texts are written between 1995 and 2011, signifying enduring interest in his life and art. Having looked into this, I'd say he passes WP:GNG; Alfredsson seems to have become, to some degree, a symbol of this kind of art. /Julle (talk) 17:21, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Julle: how long, approximately, would you say these texts are? Possibly (talk) 00:34, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Also, I know we do not go by other stuff here, but if one wants to see what an article for a notable rural folk artist looks like, see Maud Lewis. There is no need there to scour the attic for sourcing as is being done here. Possibly (talk) 00:42, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Eight pages on Alfredsson in Dahlström's dissertation, Särlingskap och konstnärsmyt, four in Okända mästare : Skulptur på egna vägar, five in Högstrand's article in Värmländsk kultur. I've no access to En hôger Sellere, the book which this article was based on before I did my additions, so I don't know how long that text is.
- "Several books, plays and films have since been produced about her", says the article on Maud Lewis. This is true for a very small minority of our biographies: it's not our threshold for inclusion, nor do I think it should be: we build articles on less. /Julle (talk) 00:56, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per Julle (AGF on the existence of these sources) Eddie891 Talk Work 12:57, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
Relisting comment: Hoping for a clearer consensus based on the new sources mentioned here.

- Keep – in my view the sources described by Julle are sufficient to pass GNG. Wham2001 (talk) 04:13, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This was initially a PROD by User:Geschichte due to WP:NFOOTBALL failure. It was then removed with the comment According to its article, this is the top-level national league. By insisting that it is not "professional", you are making the sexist argument that women can never be notable in this sport.
Putting NFOOTBALL to one side, I am struggling to find anything to prove that Papageorgiou can pass WP:GNG. All the sources cited are primary and a WP:BEFORE search reveals little better. The best two sources that I could find were this and this, neither of which we can build a biography from. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 10:33, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

A disambiguation page is not required: the primary topic has a hatnote to the only other use. PROD was reverted by @Nigej: with edit summary: rm PROD. see WP:ONEOTHER. In my view "there could reasonably be other topics ambiguous with the title on Wikipedia now or in the future". WP:ONEOTHER goes on to say "it may be deleted if, after a period of time no additional ambiguous topics are found to expand the disambiguation page." The page has been tagged for 4 months during which time no other uses have come to light. (Pages like this are routinely subject to PROD and deleted as uncontroversial.)

A charity with ??? notability. Generic name impedes the search for sources, leading to red herrings and other organizations that don't seem to be related to this one. The original article author (circa 2009) clearly SPA, also redirected their user name to this article for some reason? Pretty sure this was made as advertising, and there hasn't been enough interest or sourcing to actually improve it over the years. If anyone has some practical advice to improve this article, I'd be happy to fix it up, but if TNT is required, I ought to call in the pros. Estheim (talk) 10:01, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

- I cannot tell whether or not this is notable. It claims to have 46 projects in 12 countries, which might be sufficient to make it notable. On the other hand, there are no outgoing links and the organisation's website is very non-specific as to what it is doing. I would be much happier if there were an indication of turnover or something like that to demonstrate its size. If large, it probably would be notable.

- Which references specifically? duffbeerforme (talk) 10:19, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. The references present here do not "strongly" indicate that the article meets GNG. The overwhelming majority of the footnotes are primary sources that are not support for notability, such as staff profiles on the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations and video clips of her speaking — and the few sources that are actually to real notability-supporting media are not coverage about her, but coverage which merely namechecks her as a giver of soundbite in an article whose core subject is somebody or something else. That's not how you get a person over WP:GNG: the sources have to be media coverage which has her as its subject, not just any page you can find on the web that happens to have her name in it. The notability test is not "she did stuff", it's "she got media coverage about the stuff she did" — and none of the sources here are showing that she's passed that test. Bearcat (talk) 13:14, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep My initial research shows Devine has been recognized as an expert by multiple independent and reliable sources over time, e.g. Montreal Gazette 2009, CTV News 2011, CTV News 2014, The Globe and Mail 2015, BBC News 2016, Global News 2016, Global News 2016, so there appears to be sufficient coverage of Devine as an expert per WP:BASIC, i.e. "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" and the essay WP:INTERVIEW, which reasons, "An independent interviewer represents the "world at large" giving attention to the subject, and as such, interviews as a whole contribute to the basic concept of notability," and "The material provided by the interviewee may be [...] secondary, if the interviewee is recognized as an expert on the subject being reported." Beccaynr (talk) 15:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

- We're looking for sources that are about her, not sources that happen to mention or quote her in the process of being about something or somebody else. Bearcat (talk) 17:05, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- WP:BASIC appears to anticipate that notability can be derived from extensive coverage over time in multiple independent and reliable sources, and the reasoning of the WP:INTERVIEW essay seems to further support this, particularly when sources quote Devine as an expert, which is a form of commentary about Devine. There appears to be a mix of reporting about Devine's work and her expert opinions; but there is so much coverage, I have asked for assistance from the Article Rescue Squadron to help incorporate and organize the sources, generally help with article cleanup, and assist with French translation if possible. None of the sources that I have reviewed at this point seem to happen to mention Devine as a trivial detail, but instead seek her expert opinion and/or discuss her professional work in the context of the subject being reported, which seems to be reporting about her that supports her notability. Beccaynr (talk) 22:13, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- No. For a source to support her notability, she has to be the thing that is getting talked about in that source — getting quoted for soundbite about some other subject is not support for her notability. Bearcat (talk) 04:23, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Devine is an animal law expert and an attorney, who has been covered extensively by independent and reliable sources due to her expertise and professional work; per GreenC, there are over 500 sources to sort through, and per WP:NEXIST, "Wikipedia articles are not a final draft, and an article's subject can be notable if such sources exist, even if they have not been named yet. If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate." I have listed multiple examples of sources that offer secondary commentary 'about' Devine as an expert by seeking her expertise, not a "soundbite," which supports her notability as an expert, and I have listed examples that discuss her professional work, which is not "some other subject" in the articles, and supports the notability of her professional work; furthermore, additional sources clearly seem likely to exist.

There are over 500 sources listed in a Google News search where reliable sources have sought her out and/or quoted her. Influential and leading expert. GNG does not limit to biographical-oriented sources only (which would be arbitrary), rather it is "significant coverage" and this amount and type of coverage is a significant signal of notability. -- GreenC 22:32, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep based on what GreenC just said. I was not convinced before, thinking she only mentioned as the spokesperson for an organization, but they are quoting her words, considering her an expert in her field, so she is notable. Dream Focus 03:44, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

BLP of an apparently senior figure in Sri Lankan Buddhism. The article consists mostly of a great many transliterated Sri Lankan terms, making it very hard for the general reader to know what his role is, what authority he holds, or much else about him.

Recently the UNHCR criticised them for cremations of Muslims in the disposal of bodies from the Covid-19 pandemic. He is Head of the Police Chaplains and advisor to the Education Department on transmission of Buddhist values to schoolchildren.

- ok the first three sentences in your comment have no bearing on whether or not this person is notable. However knowing that “he is Head of the Police Chaplains and advisor to the Education Department on transmission of Buddhist values to schoolchildren” is useful and I could not have figured that out from the impenetrable text of the article. Can you point to multiple reliable independent sources that would demonstrate that this article should be kept?

- Keep - there are articles on touring sides for each cricket season. I don't have access to news archives but there would almost certainly be coverage of Pakistan's tour of Australia at that time in national newspapers (there always is), so the claim of non-notability is simply not true. Another option which would be a valid alternative to deletion would be a merge or redirect to 1992–1993 Australian cricket season but that article currently doesn't exist. So as not to undo the good work of cricket editors here I see why this article can't be kept pending that being created. Again, another instance where deletion is a lazy option. Deus et lex (talk) 22:57, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

This article concerns a building that houses academic departments at Kansas State University.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Another one that after further research does not appear to be notable. The GNIS entry, which is not linked but is located here, is sourced to Rennick. Not all of the Rennick-sourced entries are spurious (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barebone, Kentucky, but many have proven to be so. Topos show two homes and a couple non-residence buildings at an isolated crossroads; there is a Tom Town Road in the area. Newspapers.com results are for the road, scanner errors, and references in the serialization of a novel titled "The Old Silver Trail" by Mary E. Stuckney. Not in Rennick's Carroll County directory, index, or Carroll County post offices]. Google books brings up the Tomtown Road, a Tomtown Tunnell, and some hits for the place in "The Old Silver Trail". Unless "The Old Silver Trail" turns out to be some sort of factual local history (I'm seeing no evidence, as it was published as a novel by Lippincott in 1896), I don't see how WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG is met. As with Barebone, it's possible I missed something, in which case I would like to be corrected. Hog Farm Talk 19:34, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

- delete I would guess there might have been some town here (for the tunnel to be named after) but doggedly I'm going to stick with WP:GNG and say that a settlement whose only documentation is an exhaustive list isn't notable. Searching produced nothing beyond the tunnel, and while I can see where that was, (it has been daylighted) nothing convinces me that there was much recognition of the few houses to the west as a town with a name. Mangoe (talk) 23:34, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Keep The Encyclopedia of Northern Kentucky in the entry for English, Kentucky states the following "Carroll Co.'s common schools were not organized comprehensively until 1867. At that time, English Station School was designated as District 15. Other schools near English Station included Tomtown, District 17, on the West Fork of Mill Creek." I suspect the reason this settlement isn't showing up in newspapers is because it pre-dates most of them and had ceased to exist prior to their first publication. The encyclopedia entry references two works which may have more details (Campbell, Justine Tandy, History of the Carroll County Schools, 1976 and Gentry, Mary Ann. A History of Carroll County, 1984). This map clearly shows it was the largest settlement in the district after English. This is a verified settlement with a school, so passes WP:GEOLAND, and we shouldn't delete it simply because it's not discussed in detail in Google Books or Newspapers.com online sources per WP:NEXIST. ----Pontificalibus 09:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

- comment For anyone interested I've found an interesting website called 'North Kentucky Views'. Some takeaways:
- Maps post-1899 don't seem to contain Tomtown, which might indicate that sometime between 1883 and 1899 the settlement ceased having any significance.

- Comment: JalenFolf, Ashleyyoursmile – actually, this album did chart in two countries, in the Netherlands [11] and in Belgium under a different name [12], so it has a better claim to notability than the other Boney M. albums that have been nominated for deletion recently. It was also released specifically to tie in with the group's 25th anniversary and was promoted by the record company, including TV adverts, I think. So unlike the other non-notable compilations, there's a better chance that coverage of this album exists in print media in Europe at the time. That said, at the moment we have no prose and only two chart positions, so I would not be against redirecting this album for now. Richard3120 (talk) 14:41, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

- Since there hasn't been an attempt to redirect this article before I started this AfD, I do not believe protection will be necessary. It will be useful to stop any IPs of WP:LTA/HANOI, including the current protection, but that's it. Jalen Folf (talk) 05:39, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- True, but I would not be surprised if the usual shenanigans with Boney M compilations start happening with this one after we redirect direct it for the first time. But I admit that my call for justice before the crime even happens doesn't constitute due process. We may see this album in the AfD list again... consider my premature accusation of a crime to be a prediction instead. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with Doomsdayer that the redirect will need to be given indefinite extended confirmed protection (ECP). JalenFolf, the Hanoi vandal has visited this article 15 times in the last two months. You yourself have reverted the vandal two of those times. The vandal will convert the redirect to an article as soon as is possible; you can see that Special:Contributions/27.72.131.220 performed that type of action on January 24 and again on January 25: edit warring to restore an article. It's what they do. Wikipedia commonly protects articles in expectation of vandalism, prior to the act. For instance, the Wikipedia:Today's featured article is always move protected by Special:Contributions/TFA Protector Bot prior to it appearing on the Main Page, and its images are likewise protected.

- Redirect to Boney M. discography#Compilation albums, and a protect may be necessary, given past behaviour. Another unremarkable Boney M. compilation, which I think was originally released only in Germany, so even print coverage from 1984 is likely to be zero.

Yet another one where the GNIS entry is sourced to Rennick, only for Rennick not to mention this location in his thorough Casey County directory or exhaustive index. The only newspapers.com reference is bizarrely a scanner error for the word rifle. Topos show a handful of buildings in a loose scatter around a rural road junction, but do not give a name for the site. The rest of my WP:BEFORE turned up two bare mentions to "Ruletown neighorhood" in exhaustive lists of places, with the rest of the hits being for a place in Texas or the words rule and town used consecutively. Even if there was a Ruletown neighborhood, WP:GEOLAND requires legally recognized populated places, and I'm seeing no indication that this place ever had legal recognition.

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:AntonioMartin with a rationale on talk [13] from which I'll quote "distributed by... major brands... Many websites describe it as a 70's favorite brand". Fair enough, but sadly I still don't see any in-depth coverage that GNG requires, and a few sentences on fan / collector websites like [14] don't seem close to being either reliable or in-depth. Maybe there's some list this could be redirect to (there's no referenced content here to merge right now, however).

This mix of military and civil types carry the names Lintoy, Bachmann/Lintoy and Tomy/Lintoy Sky Tomica. (Vectis Auctions)." I don't think it meets any definition of 'coverage' I am familiar with, instead it's a trivial mention in passing. If there is more please quote relevant passages. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:48, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

You provided one sentence in a book. Which of the two examples there does your 'contribution' of one sentence represent more closely? A book on the topic or a trivial sentence? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:48, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- It's not a matter of size but significance. The book has at least a page showing a range of models and indicating that the company partnered with Bachmann and Tomy. We have articles for both of those and so this makes it clear that there are sensible alternatives to deletion which is policy. As, per WP:NOTCLEANUP, we are not here to perform detailed development of the topic for the nominator's amusement, this will suffice to dismiss the deletion nomination. The nominator has been making numerous nominations for toys lately – a fit of pique inspired by their failure to delete the landspeeder, it seems. Our efforts have to be correspondingly economical per WP:CHOICE which advises us to "Focus on improving the encyclopedia itself, rather than demanding more from other Wikipedians." That's policy too.

Comment if it is to be a redirect it should be List of model aircraft manufacturers. I agree with Andrew that this brand was pre-internet so there is hardly any coverage on the Web that showed gng at the time it operated. There are sources out there but none seem to be SIGCOV, Big Book of Toy Model Aeroplanes by Tom Millar, Collecting Corgi Toys by Mike Richardson, Die-cast Aircraft by Paul Bent Adams, plus quite a fews additions of Model Collector have small articles. They are notable and the planes are highly collectable, (some of their model cars were rubbish I had a Mercedes C111 when I was a kid) and there is lots of chat on model collecting websites. Problem is they come under WP:NCorp which is designed to stop exploitation by current businesses. I have in the past put forward a historical impact/impirtamce policy, much like WP:Basic #2, where small amounts added up to show Notability (in wiki terms) but it didn't get any take up. In the case of this company, they are notable historically as they are collected, but fail our rules. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 16:27, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

- Davidstewartharvey, Even if we disregard NCOMPANY, how does this pass GNG? It's interesting their products are collectibles but do we have even as little as a single reliable source that says so? Otherwise, the article is not only a GNG - stretch, but OR too (based on forum posts, collector websites, and worse). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:05, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus As I said in my first post, there is not one SIGCOV, just snippets, or small articles that don't have the depth, and so therefore does not meet our rules. It's my frustration that sometimes Wikipedia rules are wrong - this is a clearly notable closed business which is collected, but our rules say its not as we don't have SIGCOV.

- Comment: A cursory Google search establishes that lots of sources exist, and make it clear that this is a well-known product in the industry. These include at least two peer-reviewed studies (5 and 6 in the links that follow), contrary to one of the professed reasons for nominating this article ("the sourcing [doesn't establish] how well it performs or anything close to in depth"). Examples of sources: 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8. Other sources were also raised in this article's previous nominations; they simply have not been incorporated into the article. Johnpacklambert and TenPoundHammer appear to be basing notability off of the state of the article, but that is not how notability works. Incidentally, the nominator's claim that there were "Two No Consensus AfDs" is just flat-out false: The first was closed as a keep. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:32, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

The binder is made from a special two-component, highly polymer compatible bitumen, ... As a result, when a surfacing bound with Cariphalte DM is loaded by a moving wheel, a greater proportion of the deformation induced by this load will be recovered. ... Since the commercial introduction of Cariphalte DM in 1986 over 400 000 m2 of hot-rolled asphalt containing this binder have been laid on sites ranging from Cleveland in the north to Kent in the south.

At least four peer-reviewed articles, expressly about Cariphalte, its properties, and its performance, have been cited. Then there are the news articles: among others, an interview about Cariphalte to mark the product's 50th anniversary, an article about how and why the Bugatti Circuit of Le Mans was repaved with Cariphalte, and an article about how any why Cariphalte was selected for the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge.

- The "Africa in Soviet Studies" source discusses a "false letter". This letter they're speaking about discusses a letter which Xoosh claims was forged by the British to be derived from a man named Salah, a revered individual who the British knew was influential enough to cause a rift within the anti-colonial camp. According to the claim of Xoosh or Hosh, the original letter contained no damnation of the anti-colonial struggle, whilst the forged letter did. (if you are interested in the Salah letter, this page gives some insight [15]). As for the "Diwaanka" source, you most sources have snippets, but this link gives you most of the content (here). If you try word-find the term "Xoosh" on that page, you frequently see "waxaan ka qoray" before the name of Xoosh. The term "waxaan ka qoray" literally translates to "this was derived from" or "this was written from". On the extended Diiwaanka version you see even more such examples. In each of these examples entire chapters of colonial and pre-colonial history is singularly derived from this man. The entire chapter you see on these pages come from this man as a source.

The result was no consensus. After much-extended time for discussion, there is a clear absence of consensus to delete this article, with a solid majority of participating editors preferring to keep it, and the next largest group supporting a redirect to one of two potential redirect targets. Participants advocating keeping the article have articulate a somewhat more substantial basis for doing so in this case than has been done for other articles nominated for deletion on the same basis.

- Keep: WP:SOLDIER is an essay not a guideline and it doesn't mandate that one of those 8 criteria be satisfied, it says that "It is presumed that individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they" have one of those 8. It is not a requirement. Having a U.S. Navy Destroyer named after the person is an honor that seems to indicate that the individual is significantly WP:NOTABLE alone. I think that satisfies WP:GNG on its own but his life is covered in depth in 4 paragraphs here. The LA Times ran an in-depth story on him on December 14, 1942, an image of which is here and previously on November 29, 1942 [16] Toddst1 (talk) 22:24, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

- How the U.S. Navy names ships is not a determinant of notability on WP. Mztourist (talk) 16:38, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- While it may not be the determinant for notability, the fact that the Navy selected him as the namesake of a destroyer is a factor in establishing notability. My point is that destroyers are not "named after non-notable medal recipients", but rather someone the navy recognizes as a "hero". IMHO, that fact contributes to reaching the threshold of notability. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk)

- Please explain how his role in the months-long battle of Guadalcanal was "decisive". Mztourist (talk) 12:40, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Guadalcanal was a campaign, which is a series of battles. He led a company of Marines in the hotly contested area of the Matanikau River. He personally initiated and led successive hand grenade and bayonet charges in the face of tremendous fire, which resulted in annihilation of the enemy from the area. It is actions like these which are decisive in a battle. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 13:08, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Exactly my point, his role in one small skirmish was not in any way decisive in determining the outcome of the campaign. The action is entirely unreferenced, which is hardly a sign of a major battle, unlike the earlier Actions along the Matanikau, nor does this supposedly significant action even rate a mention on the Guadalcanal campaign, so he fails #4 of WP:SOLDIER as he did not "Played an important role in a significant military event such as a major battle or campaign." Mztourist (talk) 16:38, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- In his award citation, the results of his leadership and actions were referred to as having "annihilated" the enemy force as part of an "offensive" by the Marines. It was not during "a small skirmish", but rather during the Fourth Battle of Matanikau in November, and not the one you are referring to above. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 21:06, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- The engagement is entirely unreferenced on his page and on the Guadalcanal campaign page, so clearly not a "significant military event". Mztourist (talk) 09:44, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- The Fourth Battle of Matanikau in November is covered by an article on the battle and on the Guadalcanal campaign page, and thus can be considered a "significant military event" and not a "small skirmish". The fact that he is not mentioned by name seems an oversight IMHO, but the actions he was involved with are reflected in the article on the battle. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 12:54, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- It was a "small skirmish" the entire "offensive" was 3 days long with moderate losses. Most of the Matanikau Offensive is background and he isn't even mentioned. Mztourist (talk) 13:59, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- IMHO, I would classify an offensive involving 5,000 personnel with 471 killed in action as a "significant military event" as compared to a "small skirmish". This offensive involved coordinated air, artillery and naval action. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 14:36, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Without further significant coverage it is not established. Keith's actions in the battle warranted this award but it's not indicated how they were central to the battle among the at least 31 who received the Navy Cross for Guadalcanal and other participants who didn't.

- Keep: (1) WP:SOLDIER guideline does not require all of the 8, rather any one of them; (2) Agree with previous comments that selection for the Navy Cross, selection for having a ship named in one's honor, etc. are sufficient to establish nobility; (3) the number of people receiving the Navy Cross in no way reduces one's notability - consider the % of military members who receive this honor; (4) deleting an article because a person is on a "List of XXX" is not a reason - consider "List of US Presidents". — ERcheck (talk) 22:53, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Your rationale for #4 misinterprets what I said. The fact that most of the Navy Cross recipients on the list have no articles indicates the award does not establish notability. I in no way implied that it was a substitute for an article. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:01, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments.... However, the fact that most of the Navy Cross recipients have no articles does not mean that they are not notable. It means that there is not (yet) an article written on the subject. — ERcheck (talk) 01:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to the ship article. Meets neither WP:NSOLDIER or WP:GNG. Contrary to many comments on recent AfD's, having a ship named after you has zero to do with notability. They are political decisions, given as favors to certain politician's as appeasement to their constituencies. The fact that some people who are notable have ships named after them is a different story. Onel5969 TT me 22:28, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. The content is sourced, and there is enough information to justify a stand-alone article.Jackattack1597 (talk) 20:45, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- This is not dealing with the actual disagreement here. We already have something of a standing consensus that neither the Navy Cross as a decoration nor having a ship named after them satisfies independent notability. Also, I have to say that across all these discussions there is something of a failure to deal with the issue of making two copies of the same text. Instead, I keep seeing having one's own article is a prize to be won in the Notability Stakes. Mangoe (talk) 14:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- There are many reasons for receiving the Navy Cross. In his case, he had a leadership role that had decisive impact on a battle that was a significant military event, in addition to it being heroic. This has been addressed in this discussion. On a different but related note, IMHO, the fact that the Navy Cross is specifically mentioned here has led to a bias against this award. The Navy Cross is the highest award for the U.S. naval services, which includes the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps as well as Coast Guard and Merchant Marines when federalized, currently about 750,000 personnel, far larger than the total size of military forces of most countries. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 15:12, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- He played a role in a small skirmish in the Matanikau Offensive and isn't even mentioned on that page, so clearly it and his role were not that important. The highest award for any U.S. service member is the Medal of Honor. The size of U.S. naval forces is completely irrelevant to anything. Notability is determined by significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and he doesn't satisfy that, there's his DANFS bio and two other sources of dubious value. Mztourist (talk) 16:28, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- In fact the size of US forces plays against these nominations, as I've noted before. There were hundreds of US destroyers and destroyer escorts; for a lot of these guys the only thing we know about them is that they were KIA, presumably valiantly. And that's the presenting problem: we can't write much more than a stub based on the medal award, a stub which is going to be included in the ship's article anyway. I just don't understand why people are insisting that that we have to repeat this material in multiple places where one will do just fine. Mangoe (talk) 19:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

- Mztourist, first the discussion you link to was only started on January 31st, so, 13 days after you started this AFD. You can hardly claim that a discussion that occurred 13 days after your nomination was a justification for your nomination.
- Second, I think the question in the discussion you linked to was whether being the namesake of a vessel established notability -- ALL BY ITSELF. I think you know, full well, that absolutely no one has argued that, here, or anywhere else. It is a strawman argument.
- Third, while wikipedia's definition of a consensus differs from the Parliamentary definition of a consensus I think almost everyone agrees that all genuine wikipedia consensuses (consensii?) are established through a civil and collegial discussion of all involved parties. At the time the discussion you linked to took place there were multiple AFD going on where multiple individuals had argued for considering being a namesake as a strong notability factor. No one placed a heads-up in those AFD that a related discussion was taking place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history. So, please don't represent it as a bonafide consensus. WP:LOCALCONSENSUS says: " For instance, unless they can convince the broader community that such action is right, participants in a WikiProject cannot decide that some generally accepted policy or guideline does not apply to articles within its scope." Geo Swan (talk) 01:18, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- What is being argued is that being argued is that having a large naval vessel named after you is a strong notability factor. As has been pointed out to you, in many AFD, is that hardly any of the BLP individuals we cover in standalone articles had their notability established by one single factor. WP:POLITICIAN or WP:ACADEMIC can establish notability with a single factor. But 99 of our BLP individuals have their notability establish by a cumulative assessment of all their notability factors. Geo Swan (talk) 01:18, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Firstly Andrew Davidson did not clarify what "well-known and significant award or honor" was being referred to. Based on his argument on numerous similar AFD it was a fair assumption that he was referring to the ship being named for him. The fact that the ship discussion only began after I started this AFD is irrelevant, it arose from the Keep argument that Andrew added to most of the current AFDs. You seem to suggest that my deletion arguments must be frozen in time, without any account for new information, which isn't the case. It wasn't my responsibility to "place a heads-up", about the ship notability discussion, you can take that up with Dream Focus, but it is not an unreasonable assumption that people who participate in military deletion discussions also watch Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history, anyway there is a clear consensus on the issue among the MilHist project, having a ship named after you does not establish notability. In relation to your BEFORE argument below, only one User has actually bothered adding any sources to the page since I AFDed it, but in my view those sources are largely about the battle he died in and still don't amount to SIGCOV in multiple RS of him. Mztourist (talk) 03:29, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- What is the "well-known and significant award or honor"? Consensus is that having a ship named after him does not confer notability: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#having a military ship named after you proves notability. If you think the page can be improved by editing then do it, don't just talk about it, but the sources just aren't there and so he lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. The only reference in the article that speaks of the film in any detail, is boxofficecollection.in, however that is not a reliable source. Can't find anything of significance searching for "Faisal Saif" along with "Sheitaan". According to an unreliable source that I can't link to because it's on Wikipedia's blacklist, the film is a remake of another Saif film, Islamic Exorcist, which I have also nominated for deletion for the same reasons.
It is also worth noting that the chief article builders, RadheSlate and CursedSoulFromIndia were the same person operating two accounts, and have since been blocked for sockpuppetry. They have a very narrow focus of interest, and I think that this article was created to promote the films of Faisal Saif, which could suggest either UPE or COI.

As with numerous other people currently up for deletion, a Navy Cross and a ship named after one is not enough for a standalone article. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:02, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
I am also nominating the following related pages for the exactly same reasons (all members of the same ill-fated squadron, all awarded the Navy Cross and all with ships named after them):
- John P. Gray (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Jeff Davis Woodson (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- James C. Owens Jr. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Ulvert M. Moore (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
A verdict for William W. Creamer was reached three days ago to merge to List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II. His namesake destroyer escort was launched, but not completed. George M. Campbell is in the same (uncompleted) boat as Creamer. His Afd is still open.
