This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to People. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary, it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|People|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to People.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Curator and director of art nonprofit, fails WP:GNG coverage hyper-local, specialist and incidental mentions in coverage of Judy Chicago rather than Malcom-Morgan herself. Lacks SIGCOV, fails WP:NARTIST; WPNACADEMIC. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Academics and educators, Artists, Arts, and United States of America. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - The creator of this article, User:Jerahcordova, is Jerah Cordova, the former mayor of Belen, New Mexico, the city where Megan Malcom Morgan is curator. I know this because he told me. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:54, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Magnolia677:
I am striking out your comment, as this falls under WP:OUTING.Curiocurio (talk) 13:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)- @Curiocurio: Yes..."unless that person has voluntarily posted their own information...on Wikipedia". User:Jerahcordova (aka, "Jerah Cordova"), the former mayor of Belen, left a message on my talk page saying "I'm the mayor of Belen, NM". Unless I'm missing something, please revert your edit. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:39, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- In particular, the 2nd paragraph of WP:OUTING says that use of information that is self-disclosed on-wiki is not considered outing. That seems to cover the "former mayor" part. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women and New Mexico. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:54, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Womanhouse, and include a sentence or two about the 2022 event at that article; or delete as an alternative to redirection. All of the coverage in the article concerns the single exhibition, and I didn't find much else out there. I think this falls under WP:BLP1E, at least in its current state. The name is relatively difficult to search for -- following this discussion in case better evidence of notability is found. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:52, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Updated !vote to clarify that deletion would be a sensible outcome. I still think redirection is slightly preferred per WP:ATD-R, but I don't think it matters very much either way. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:49, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Changing my vote from redirect to delete. I never could figure out a way to include Megan Malcom Morgan in the information about Wo/manhouse 2022. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:15, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Agree with Russ Woodroofe.I have started a section at Womanhouse Womanhouse#50th Anniversary in 2022.Don't quite see how to add Morgan to the entry though.WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:14, 17 March 2023 (UTC)- While I think there is certainly a policy-based argument for deleting, I'm staying at the redirect !vote, since redirects are WP:CHEAP. I think it would be enough to mention that she curated. I agree that there's not much more than that to say -- the coverage of the revival seemed to be more interested in Judy Chicago's role. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 01:31, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- I expanded the Womanhouse#50th Anniversary in 2022 entry but still I am not finding a reference to the assertion that Malcom Morgan was the curator. She was on the steering committee, but alas, I don't see that she was a curator. Have I missed a reference? WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 18:15, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- On looking at sources, I guess the statement directly supported by them would be something like "under gallery executive director Megan Malcom-Morgan" or similar. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 18:44, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

- I added "Megan Malcom-Morgan, was executive director of TTF at that time" with citation to the Womanhouse#50th Anniversary in 2022 entry. I still think it is a delete rather than a redirect. Even if it is WP:CHEAP, she just not notable, yet. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 15:14, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

This page appears to be solely sourced to religious websites, making its contents wholly unverifiable and functionally useless from the perspective of Wikipedia's content standards. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:18, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Religion, and Islam. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:18, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I believe this nomination is flawed. We have many articles about Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and Orthodox bishops which are sourced entirely to sources related to their respective denominations. There are a few companions of the prophet about whom very little is known today, but most have been discussed constantly in Islamic scholarship for more than 1400 years because of their critical role in the transmission of Hadith. In any case there are sufficient sources in English for this to be a GNG pass (Google book search) without even looking in Arabic or other languages. Mccapra (talk) 07:48, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Google books shows two footnotes. Scholar hints at a few mentions, but the relevant passages are not apparent. There is nothing to currently indicate the presence of any non-trivial mentions of the subject in reliable sources. The page is just as poorly supported in its Arabic version. The other premise is also invalid. This individual did not play a major role in any tradition, because he ostensibly died in the Battle of Yamama, and thus was prevented from ever passing on whatever material he might have recollected. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:11, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- simply false. I find multiple sources (not including the ones I enumerate below) citing him as the source of Hadith. You’re just making it up. Mccapra (talk) 05:04, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect and merge to Battle of Yamama. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:22, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment it’s not true that the subject appears only in a couple of footnotes in a google book search. In English I get multiple pieces of coverage, including
1,2, 3, 4 and 5, with other instances too. From this we learn that the subject, on account of his exceptional knowledge of the Quran, led the community in prayer in Medina before Muhammad himself arrived, and that the caliph Omar stated that, had he lived, he would have made him his successor. Mccapra (talk) 04:53, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- in Arabic, setting aside explicitly religious sites and only looking for substantive coverage in general sources that editors can auto translate, coverage includes two extensive profiles in daily news sources, 6 and 7, and this from wikisource 8. Mccapra (talk) 05:02, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- While some Arabic news sources are reasonably sound sources for local news, and Youm 7 is generally speaking a respected publication, I don't think Arabic news sources are realistically reliable sources for Islamic biographies, and that Wikisource text is a primary source, so not super useful in of itself without supporting coverage in reliable, secondary sources. Iskandar323 (talk) 03:30, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Mccapra, You may be right in your overall assessment, but you should get rid of the first book that you list above. It lists Lulu, a well known self-publishing outfit, as its publisher. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:16, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Yes thank you I didn’t spot that. Mccapra (talk) 22:47, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

The individual allegedly created a project that was popular during the coronavirus pandemic, but the coverage is not significant enough to warrant the creation of a Wikipedia page. There is one award, but I'm not too certain about the signficance of the award. Seems to fail WP:GNG requirements. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 02:57, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep Notable guy. New refs need to be added tho. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CassiJevenn (talk • contribs) 12:43, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Could you elaborate on his notability? I see that you've contributed to the page in the past. A good chunk of the sources when you Google the individual (including WWF, MIT Technology Review, and the New Yorker) about him seem to be written by him or largely quotes from him which does not present significant and independent coverage. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 16:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- The guy has been featured in La Voix Du Nord (1), BFMTV (2), The Times Of Israel (3), Le Figaro (4), Web Foundation (5), CNEWS (6), Business Insider (7), The Times UK (8), Vanity Fair (9), ABC ES (10) and recently, in CNN (11)... the list goes beyond... I don't know how you can doubt he is still not notable ^^ CassiJevenn (talk) 17:42, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- I've attached a source assessment table below. Some of the sources you listed are on the table, and the rest have the same issues. I suspect some level of churnalism is involved, if not the individual or someone close to them reaching out to media sources. The development of a popular website is not enough to warrant the creation of a Wikipedia page. Many creators of popular websites do not receive a Wikipedia page. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 20:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Could you include the CNN page in the table? That recent one is very clearly not churnalism. Furthermore, Avi is not just a creator of one popular website. In the CNN article (which, for some reason, you don't include in the table), you can see all about his company and new office in SF, multiple websites created for Syria, Turkey, Ukraine, and other areas in crisis. Pretty much all the sources you use in your table are very old. There are new sources that establish notability. CraigSut (talk) 06:26, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- The source assessment table generated below are from the currently posted article, not the sources listed above. That is why CNN is not included. The creation of a website or multiple does not convey notability, neither does the coverage of them. If you would like to generate your own table, please feel free. The sources I'm seeing for Schiffmann's work (including InternetActivism) tend to largely consist of direct and indirect quotes from him which isn't significant coverage. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 07:14, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Then don't suggest a deletion of the page. The CNN article indicates notability for Schiffmann. Instead, add issue templates about sourcing, etc. — not about notability. As CassiJevenn said above, "new refs need to be added tho" and "I don't know how you can doubt he is still not notable." CraigSut (talk) 04:04, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

- Rishab Jain (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Though relatively accomplished for a high school student, I believe this article does not pass the notability test for people. Much of the sources do seem self-cited as noted in the talk page, and many IP edits originate from or near Portland, Oregon so it is likely it's written by someone close to this individual. The awards mentioned here are not "well-known and significant" enough to warrant the creation of a page. I believe this article fails WP:GNG guidelines. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 02:42, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Although I previously supported a Draftify action, I now oppose deletion. I have rehauled this page completely, removing primary sources and adding the subject's recent, note-worthy accomplishments. There was a significant amount of sockpuppetry as well as what appear to be advertisements that were included on this page. Un-notable references to the subject's "Discord" and "YouTube" were non-notable.
- I have added more recent, notable achievements. These include a feature by the National Cancer Institute, winning the International Science and Engineering Fair, being named a TIME Magazine 25 Most Influential Teen, and more. The subject meets notability.
- As per WP:GNG, notability guidelines are failed for pages that do not have "significant coverage." I would agree if the subject had no media appearance since the page was initially created in 2018. However, it seems since 2021 onwards, the subject has been featured in media quite frequently, by reputed sources like TIME Magazine, Teen Vogue, Insider, Yahoo News, uspto.gov, The Hindu, NPR's Science Friday, PBS, etc. Another common issue is with sources and independent of the subject works. I have removed the primary sources and added more objective secondary sources that establish notability. There were also some press releases that were used as references — again, that tied into what seemed to be an advertising/promotional tone. These have been removed and replaced with reputed sources. CraigSut (talk) 04:17, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Just based on a quick search in the news using the 'find sources' feature above, the subject Rishab Jain seems to have been featured in/by the National Cancer Institute [1], Good News Network [2], The Times [3], PhysicsWorld [4][5], Pancreatic Cancer Action Network [6], Pioneer Press [7], TIME's Most Influential Teens List [8], Deccan Chronicle [9], USPTO [10], Indian Express [11], Business Insider [12], TIME Magazine [13], NPR's Science Friday [14], American Kahani [15], The Oregonian [16], PBS [17], Pamplin Media [18].
- These are just some of the first ones that popped up. There seem to be plenty more. Not all of these are solid sources, obviously, and so only the secondary, credible ones should be included in the page. Take a look at PhysicsWorld, TIME Magazine, and the Insider ones above. I think the page could use some work, but the subject is clearly notable. It's a keep. Side-note: It looks like you're also trying to delete Avi Schiffmann, another notable young person. Little bit confused how some of the most famous activists of Gen Z don't quality for notability. Gitanjali Rao (scientist) is even more notable, pretty much included in every media publication possible, having received numerous humanitarian, United Nations, etc. awards. Deleting on the basis of the 3M Young Scientist Challenge makes no sense here or there. CraigSut (talk) 06:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: Although when searching for his name you may find his YouTube channel regarding Discord content, he has become notable in multiple different occasions (see article). ImperialMajority (talk) 20:19, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
This page seems quite outdated, and there have been numerous primary sources and non-encyclopedic terminology added. It's clearly in need of an overhaul. I believe that the IP edits originated from Portland, Oregon, may not be an issue, however. I myself am from Portland, Oregon, yet have no connection to the subject — rather, I heard about their work from a local congresswoman, and decided to cover some of their news on this page about a year ago. With respect to the awards issue — I believe that Rishab Jain's 'TIME Magazine's 25 Most Influential Teens' is a well-known award. I did a quick check and it seems like almost all of the people on that list meet notability criteria. Furthermore, the 'Regeneron Young Scientist Award' and 'America's Top Young Scientist' award seem quite significant (see Jack Andraka and Gitanjali Rao). As per WP:GNG there seems to be significant coverage. In the past, I have noticed some articles failing WP:GNG due to most sources being primary in nature, as well as dependent on the subject (i.e. advertising, press releases, etc.). I think the page does pass notability, however, needs significant edits to remove the promotional tone, excessive primary sources, and to be quite frank, an 'ugly' page, that does not read cohesively. I recommend Draftify or a significant rewrite from an experienced/the original editor.

I have just taken a look at all the sources on the page, as well as some new sources online. It seems like the subject was recognized by the NIH and/or National Cancer Institute. This meets notability guidelines. Based on this additional info, I am in favor of Draftify and will begin a rewrite myself. If another editor wishes to draft this article, I would recommend them doing so. —CraigSut (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:02, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

- Hi CraigSut! Thank you for your thoughtful response and efforts to rewrite.
- In regards to the IP, one of the edits came from an IP address in Beaverton where the individual is from. I haven't looked too deep into this. You mention that a local congresswoman mentioned this individual's work which prompted your involvement, but there's a lot here that doesn't necessarily merit the creation of a page. For Gitanjali Rao (scientist) (see Talk:Gitanjali Rao (scientist)) and Jack Andraka (less so), the awards in question are not as significant as you might think. They may be relatively significant for younger audiences, perhaps, but the recipients of the 3M Young Scientist award are students in grades 5 through 8. With no disrespect towards their work, the work done by a student at age 14 will most likely not make an impact in the field the world was done in, if at all recognized. I cannot find any mention of "PCDLS Net" in scientific journals or reviews. If we consider the 3M Young Scientist notable, every 11-14 year old who wins could have their own Wikipedia page containing their aspirations of going to some prestigious higher education institution. In regards to the TIME's list, it could be considered somewhat significant on its own, but the notability of the work that warranted the award seems rather weak.
- There is also the Coca-Cola Scholars award now listed on the page, which on its own is not notable. In the selection process, much of it is done on an algorithmic basis where you must have some amount of volunteering and some academic threshold. Research Science Institute is a summer program for high school students to conduct research at MIT, this doesn't warrant a page either as countless students go through the program. Much of the research made in that program also does not leave a mark in their respective fields either. There is also a mention of a TEDxGateway event that Rishab spoke at. TEDx speakers can be anyone, so this also not convey any significance or notability.
- The recognition by the National Cancer Institute is a quick spotlight mention on one of their news/press releases. This spotlight also again brings up the 3M Young Scientist award. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 04:09, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Qx.est (Suufi)!
- Based on the page itself, the individual is from Portland — not the same as Beaverton. Nonetheless, this is not really important as I'm sure numerous individuals in the community/town could have made edits to the page, as I am. I just looked through the edits, and there have been vandalism edits from Portland IPs as well.
- You point out the 3M Young Scientist Award work as not being notable, with your main argument being that: then every 11-14 year old "who wins would have their own page." I don't think this is the case. The only past winners from this program who have their page are Rishab Jain, Gitanjali Rao (scientist), and Deepika Kurup. The program has been going on for what seems like 16 years. The very fact that the others did not have pages created indicates that the award by itself is not enough for notability. As such, only the most notable alumni (like Rishab Jain, Gitanjali Rao, and Deepika Kurup) have had Wikipedia pages written about them. Gitanjali Rao (scientist) had the 3M award along with a major recognition as TIME's Kid of the Year. Deepika Kurup had the 3M award alongside being named Forbes 30 Under 30. Rishab Jain has had the 3M award along with a major recognition on the TIME Magazine list, Regeneron Young Scientist Award, featured by the National Cancer Institute, etc.
- As Wikipedians, it is a little presumptuous for you to assume that the TIME list is only 'somewhat significant' and the work is not notable. After all, TIME is one of the most reputed news magazines that we could possible include as a source on Wikipedia. There are also news articles about the subject in Teen Vogue, Insider, NPR's Science Friday, The Hindu, Times of India, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, and more. There are mentions in Forbes, The Times, PBS, etc. -- however, we must consider that there are actual articles solely written about the subject's work. Your other evidence behind this is that the subject is not making an impact on the field yet. By that logic, pretty much every youth inventor (Gitanjali Rao (scientist), Jack Andraka, Shree Bose, and countless others) would have to have their pages deleted? Further, Jain actually does seem to have some work in review (see [19]) which the other youth inventors do not. Jain seems to have the 3M Award, TIME Magazine Award, some reviews in Nature Scientific Data etc. etc. along with the Regeneron Young Scientist Award in the International Science and Engineering Fair, inclusion in The Times as well as Insider's lists, and further recognition. Even if we exclude all of the older TIME Magazine, Business Insider, Yahoo News, etc. mentions, the subject does still meet notability for the more recent awards. The recent Regeneron Young Scientist Award is very similar in class to the one for Jack Andraka. There is also an induction into the National Museum of Education's National Gallery for America's Young Inventors. Even by News [20] and Scholar [] there are several mentions to the subject (several within the last year).
- Furthermore, it is not our ability as Wikipedians, and yourself as a student (as per talk page), to adjudicate whether or not a subject's work/accomplishments are not going to have an impact on science. Unless an editor here on Wikipedia is an established scientist/researcher in the field, and can provide critique, it does not make sense for us to argue on whether or not this subject's work is going to do anything. Instead, the only thing we can do, is look at secondary sources. Jain's work was literally featured by TIME Magazine and the National Cancer Institute. It was also recognized by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, and interviewed by Allison Rosenzweig, PhD, who writes frequently about pancreatic cancer. This is already far more coverage than is needed to establish notability. Although a less reliable source, the challenge has had their own PhD scientists review Jain's work. His other cancer work seems to have been published in Frontiers in Oncology, Nature Scientific Data, and the International Journal of Radiology. He was also invited as a course teacher, where he spoke about his 'PCDLS Net' work at the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology — one of the world's leading conferences in this area. Jain has plenty of backing on his work in the media — we can safely assume the subject achieves notability this way. Some of the above is not included in the page. As such, the page does need to be revised. However, deletion is completely unnecessary. We just need to add more sources and more information, while maintaining a non-biased tone.
- The Coca-Cola Scholars and Research Science Institute are clearly listed in the personal life section of the page. I agree with you that these are not notable on their own. I am not claiming that Jain deserves notability for these awards, and you debunking notability for these does not prove anything. These awards are only mentioned in the personal life category for a reason. Many notable figures have went to the Research Science Institute, and so it makes perfect sense to include this in the personal life section as it is clearly a central experience for these scientists.
- I remain with an oppose-ing viewpoint on this matter. I would like to mention that I have already spent a significant amount of time rehauling this page and would appreciate others editing it further.
- I am happy to edit the page a little more to add more of these details and backing, however, it would be great if you/other editors could suggest/contribute some revisions as well :) CraigSut (talk) 05:58, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you again for the response. A quick Google search of the keywords "Rishab Jain" and "Beaverton" yield a result showing that the individual is indeed from Beaverton, Oregon. I do recognize that there are some vandalism edits from these IPs, likely from someone who knows Jain. Some other edits by IPs from the same geographic region are done in good-faith.
- The articles you mention are an example of WP:WAX. Anyone can write an article on Wikipedia, but that doesn't necessarily mean the article adheres to Wikipedia's guidelines. In fact, Gitanjali Rao (scientist) also has the same notice this article had in regards to sources. This isn't marked on Deepika Kurup, but the Personal Life section indicates self-promotion/conflict of interest and bears the same issues as the other articles. Same goes for Jack Andraka (see Talk Page). These three articles can be proposed for deletion under the same points made under these one. These aren't very popular articles (relatively speaking) on Wikipedia, so they've been overlooked for some time. My argument is not to discredit these young inventors. They are accomplished for their age, but they are not notable enough now to have a Wikipedia page focused on their work which isn't considered significant in realm of academia.
- The reason I mentioned TIME as "somewhat significant" is because the TIME article that seems to have resulted in Jain's listing refers to his 3M award, not his work. In regards to the work Jain is doing now, see Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Specifically, "having published work does not, in itself, make an academic notable, no matter how many publications there are. Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study." The Museum entry is an interesting one, but the induction into the museum involves submitting an application of your work and being voted on by fellow high school students. The entire museum is dedicated to young students in grades K-12.
- The link of the Google search you have provided lists 10 results, 8 of which refer to his 3M award in 2018. My argument is not that his work will not make an impact on science, but that rather, as of right now, has not made an impact in the field. We cannot create articles on the future/potential notability of an individual. The featuring of Jain on National Cancer Institute also references the 2018 3M award. The backing of Jain in media primarily revolves around Jain's awards, not his work which is the issue at hand here.
- Going back to Wikipedia:Notability (academics), criteria 2 mentions that
Victories in academic student competitions at the high school and university level as well as other awards and honors for academic student achievements (at either high school, undergraduate or graduate level) do not qualify under Criterion 2 and do not count towards partially satisfying Criterion 1.
- <meta />
- Jain is currently tagged with Category:American medical researchers and Category:Scientists from Portland, Oregon and based on the above, he does not bear academic notability either so that point cannot be made either.
- I do want to thank you for your extensive work on this page. Your work is not unrecognized, and it is appreciated. However, respectfully, I would like to point out that this article has been your only source of contributions on Wikipedia, so I would understand the reluctancy of having your work deleted. Jain does have a lot of potential, but as of right now, I do not believe his accomplishments at this time warrant the creation of a Wikipedia page hence why I am still in favor of delete. If Jain does reach a level of notability in the future, this page can be reintroduced, but as of right now, I don't think what we have here is enough.

- You've only shown that Jain does not meet Notability for academics and completely dodge the extensive sourcing that I provided, focusing solely on the 3M Award. You're also showing initiative to delete Gitanjali Rao (scientist) who is a very notable figure. I'd like to defer to the community on this to see what people think — if these Gen Z changemakers are indeed notable. CraigSut (talk) 07:16, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- The Gen Z subjects in question are actually quote a good argument for inclusionism. I'm keen to see how this plays out. CraigSut (talk) 07:18, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- I forgot to respond to the great point you brought up about categories. Jain is definitely not notable for academics, and so feel free to remove the categories of American researcher and scientists, etc.
- Please see Wikipedia:Notability (people): he still meets the general Notability criteria for people, and so it's a keep for me.
- -----
- Context from the notability criteria:
- "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
- "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability." — hence the multiple independent sources utilized in the context.
- "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor." CraigSut (talk) 07:23, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry about that. I did not see the sourcings you provided as these were introduced via edit after I had replied. The multiple "secondary" sources you seem to describe largely consist of quotes from Jain with little to no analysis from the authors. Secondary sources should contain "analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources" as per WP:SECONDARY. The articles you have sent above seem to mostly lack the synthesis/analysis aspect needed in secondary sources. This seems to largely be the issue with the sources.
- It's a bit late for me where I am right now, but here's a quick list of issues I found with having these as sources:
- <meta />
- National Cancer Institute [1], just largely mentioning of facts, no analysis
- Good News Network [2], no analysis or interpretation by the author, primarily quotes Jain and describes the award.
- The Times [3], 3 sentence long reference, only 1 of which briefly mentions his work.
- PhysicsWorld [4][5], podcast interview with Jain (primary) and mostly quotes from Jain
- Pancreatic Cancer Action Network [6], largely quotes from Jain, no analysis
- Pioneer Press [7], possibly secondary? but very little content here
- TIME's Most Influential Teens List [8], not much content here other than a listing for the award and a brief discussion of Jain's work
- Deccan Chronicle [9], two sentences on Jain, no analysis
- USPTO [10], could possibly argue secondary, but this seems like a biography about the speaker for the event (which tends to involve input from the individual)
- Indian Express [11], brief listing of Jain and his work, just lists the facts known about Jain
- Business Insider [12], a short video documentary of Jain (primary)
- TIME Magazine [13], mostly quotes and indirect quotes from Jain, no analysis
- NPR's Science Friday [14], largely a video presentation from Jain, very little content
- American Kahani [15], mentioning of facts (who Jain is and winning ISEF), no analysis/synthesis
- The Oregonian [16], largely direct and indirect quotes about Jain, little to no analysis/synthesis
- PBS [17], listing of Jain largely consisting of direct quotes
- Pamplin Media [18], largely just mentioning facts about Jain and his work with some quotes from him and his parent
- I hope this helps to explain where I am coming from. I do believe it's best for the community to decide on these articles, and I appreciate your thoughtful responses. It is true I am showing initiative to delete some other articles, but this is not because of their status as members of generation Z or their activism. There are articles on Wikipedia of generation Z activists that are perfectly fine given that they adhere to WP:GNG. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 08:08, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- I think there is a conceptual issue here in what you believe are primary/secondary sources.
- You state that PhysicsWorld, TIME Magazine, and many more are just "mostly quotes" and thereby secondary sources yet very conveniently ignore MULTIPLE analytic/contextualizing paragraphs, i.e.:
- An inherent challenge of radiation treatment for pancreatic cancer is accurately targeting the pancreas, which is often obscured by the stomach or other nearby organs, making it difficult to locate. In addition, breathing and other anatomical changes may cause the pancreas to move around in the abdominal area. As a result, radiotherapy can inadvertently target healthy tissue.
- Doing so can be difficult, since the pancreas is often obscured by other organs, and since breathing and other bodily processes can cause it to move around the abdominal area. As a result, doctors sometimes need to deploy radiation treatment with an “error circle” that ensures they’ll hit the pancreas, but that may kill some healthy cells as collateral damage.
- Just because an article includes quotes does not make it primary! As per WP:SECONDARY, secondary sources "...rely on primary sources for their material, making analytic or evaluative claims about them." I think the table on Woodbury.edu [21] does a good job of illustrating this.
- "News article quoting excerpts from the interview" are considered secondary sources
- This is precisely what the TIME list, etc. are doing. They rely on primary source interviews with the subject, and interpret this information in context. The main "issue" (which is not actually an issue) you have with most of these sources is that they include quotes from the subject. That doesn't disqualify them from being a secondary source... primary sources will typically be the interviews themselves. Secondary sources may include some quotes, which is what many of the sources you cite above do.
- The U.S. has some of the highest prescription drug prices in the world, which can push patients into bankruptcy over medications they cannot afford. More than three in four American adults think the prices of prescription drugs are unaffordable, prompting the Senate to recently pass a bill intended to help lower prescription drug costs for seniors. One young innovator set out to find his own solution. 17 year-old Rishab Jain developed ICOR, a tool to improve the rapid production of drugs like COVID-19 vaccines.
- Another excerpt from a source:
- What makes Rishab’s algorithm so important is that pancreas are difficult to spot as they move around. Currently doctors target radiation in the area they believe pancreas are, in the process also killing other healthy cells. Pancreatic cancer is the 13th most common cancer worldwide, according to a Lancet study from October 2015. With an unusually high mortality rate, it is the eight most common cause of death from cancer. Over a quarter million people worldwide have lost their lives to it. What makes pancreatic cancer so deadly is the lack of symptoms during early stages when it is most treatable, reports CNN. Experts say, there are no screening tools specific to this kind of cancer. As a result, in many cases, the discovery of the disease gets delayed. The detection is often confined to distinct symptoms like abdominal pain and jaundice. Dr Shubham Pant, Associate Professor of Medical Oncology at Houston, Texas, explains the disease in the video below.
- Take for instance, this source about Jain (RadiologyToday Magazine). This source is by Pamela Q. Fernandes, MD, is a doctor, author, and medical writer who specializes in new breakthroughs in medicine.
- Machine Learning: Fresh Perspective \ By Pamela Q. Fernandes, MD \ Radiology Today \ Vol. 20 No. 7 P. 8
- A major concern when it comes to AI in the medical field is replicability. Jain believes the best way to address that concern is to share the research.
- Although AI does show much promise, there are challenges in creating a tool like his.
- Are these not contextualizing statements? Do these not provide some level of analysis? This is clearly not a primary source. These secondary sources should be added to the article, which I can do, but the issue about notability is clear — there are secondary sources that exist about Jain. Your interpretation of what a secondary source is muddled. If each source is doing 'a little analysis' that adds up to quite a bit of analysis about Jain.
- There are quite frankly so many secondary sources, that I am finding it a bit unbelievable that you are trying to pin it on this point. Let's keep in mind that Jain also qualifies for notability through the honor criteria on WP:GNG for people. CraigSut (talk) 04:45, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- I do not think this is a conceptual issue of what I believe to be primary/secondary sources. I am following the guidelines listed on Wikipedia and precedence you can find it other articles flagged for deletion.
- In much of these cases, these are entirely interviews, not excerpts of the interview interwoven with the author's thoughts. From Wikipedia:Interviews, "[t]he general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source and is also non-independent material." You argue that secondary sources may include some quotes, and that is true. But the keyword is some, and these sources are largely indirect and direct quotes of Jain.
- In many of these articles, that is the case. I did not say the articles are primary simply because they quote Jain, but because they do not offer enough analysis by the author to be considered secondary. For example, the journal article by Dr. Pamela Fernandes is pretty much an interview with Jain. Every paragraph starts with some sentence or question that segues into Jain's own words. There is no synthesis here. The quote that you provided contextualized looks like this:
A major concern when it comes to AI in the medical field is replicability. Jain believes the best way to address that concern is to share the research. “I can write a research paper, display how the architecture works—how it takes an input and the various layers I used in between—and how I fine-tuned it,” he says. “AI is having a huge boom in medicine, but there’s not a lot of documentation and research right now. More research papers would be helpful for those replicating and improving the results.” [...] Although AI does show much promise, there are challenges in creating a tool like his. “It does take a lot of time, resources, and effort,” Jain says. “After three years of research, I’ve come this far. I’ve created a five-year plan to continue working on the clinical technology and bring it to application in a clinical study but, in the end, it will take a decade to perfect it and bring this technology to the market. A lot of these problems require research, and that takes a lot of time and resources. It’s frightening for those who want to conduct new research. Everything comes with such a cost and possible implications.”
- The synthesis is not done by the author, it is done by Jain. These sources are not intellectually independent of the source.
- That one sentence at the start could be considered secondary, yes, but in the context of the entire piece, the source is not a secondary article and the line likely isn't either. Some possible questions Fernandes could've asked during this interview are "what do you think the biggest concern is to AI in the medical field?" or "what are challenges in making a tool like this?" After all, this is an interview and these are very typical questions. If Fernandes did contextualize what the issues to AI in medicine were in her own words and thoughts, that would be secondary. I unfortunately do not see any interpretation done here. In regards to your other quotes, they could be said to be secondary, but to a large extent, these sources lack Wikipedia:Notability (events). If anything, these are descriptions of facts about pancreatic cancer, not the role Jain's work plays in combatting pancreatic cancer. Again, that explanation comes from Jain in following paragraphs.
- These articles mostly coincide with the occurrence of the event where Jain won the award, they are too close to the individual and the award so their independence on the matter is questionable. As per Wikipedia:Primary sources, "[p]rimary sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved." Furthemore, "The TIME magazine article is one of the articles that occur right after Jain won the award. From what I have seen, there is little to no depth in the reporting of how Jain's work affects the field by any of the authors I have seen.
- The ICOR excerpt comes from an interview with Jain and does not describe Jain's connection to the work, just simply that he has developed a tool to combat skyrocketing prices. The only possible secondary source I see is fourth quote you have provided which comes from [22]. However, at the very bottom of this article, it says that the "[t]his story was auto-published from a syndicated feed. No part of the story has been edited by The Quint." This falls under non-independent sources in Wikipedia:SYNDICATED.
- I have refreshed the page as I wrote this and I will now address your second comment. It is unfair to compare this article to that of athletes. We cannot compare apples to oranges. Athletes tend to follow Wikipedia:NSPORTS, and Jain is not an athlete. Jain is very accomplished young man, but Jain's status a "young scientist" is not enough to warrant the creation of a Wikipedia article as per Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Additionally, please take another look at Wikipedia:Notability (people). Having an honor alone does confer notablility and not having one doesn't make you not notable. Additionally, the academic awards (3M and ISEF, in particular) won by Jain aren't considered notable or significant as per my previous statement.
- I again do believe this is best left for other Wikipedians to decide. I believe I have made my point extensively here, and my goal is not to persuade you. You do have a vested interest in keeping the article you have worked extensively on, and that is perfectly understand. I am looking to solely state the facts as to why I do not believe Jain's article meets Wikipedia:GNG or Wikipedia:Notability (academics). This AfD article has gotten very long and major apologies to anyone who stumbles here. If you would like to continue this debate, the Talk Page might be the best place. Thank you. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 06:23, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- I understand your position and the arguments you have made, however, my position is still a keep — I think this article should not be deleted.
- In my view, a lot of the sources are indeed synthesizing and analyzing. Comparisons to existing research and other figures are essentially synthesis and analysis. Your definition of a secondary source is clearly different than what most people view it as.
- You continue to intentionally make hasty generalizations so I don't see any point in continuing to argue here. After this comment, I will not engage on this page anymore unless other Wikipedians contribute. You intentionally ignore the TIME 25 Most Influential list, National Cancer Institute feature, being added to the National Museum of Education's gallery, Insider List, Giuseppe Sciacca International Award, and much much more, and instead default to the (3m) "America's Top Young Scientist" and (ISEF) "Regeneron Young Scientist" awards, since you can attack those easily as being simple academic awards. Just because two awards Jain has received do not give notability by themselves, it does not automatically disprove the others???
- The continued, intentional generalizations you make on this page (and at Avi Schiffmann makes me think that you have some external motive/bias here. It is interesting that your deletion flag also was created DURING the timeframe of extensive vandalism attacks on the article. I see that this is the same date that Jain posted a YouTube video about Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (Redacted). It is interesting that you also then proposed/encouraged deletion for Gitanjali Rao, another Gen Z activist who is a researcher at MIT. Since Rao and Jain will be students at MIT, I see a clear COI here.
- I agree that The Quint article is syndicated, however, I am unable to find the original source of the article. It is possible that The Quint accidentally labeled its article as auto-syndicated, as:
- Dr Shubham Pant, Associate Professor of Medical Oncology at Houston, Texas, explains the disease in the video below.
- This type of external analysis/context that The Quint provides is not seen elsewhere online (at least indexed by Google) which leads me to think that the article was labeled as syndicated, when it may not have actually been.
- You also go in-depth to label Fernandes as a primary source. Even if it is, there are still PLENTY of secondary sources. See what I wrote in my previous response:
- "You state that PhysicsWorld, TIME Magazine, and many more are just "mostly quotes" and thereby secondary sources yet very conveniently ignore MULTIPLE analytic/contextualizing paragraphs"
- You are doing this once again. I don't see any point of debating with someone who clearly wishes to strawman this argument to discredit others' positions. Instead of going extensively to disprove this article, we could have instead improved the article & added more secondary sources.
- Even for sports/athletes, you still need secondary sources. Yes, there are different notability criteria, but my point about secondary sourcing still stands. The majority of the articles we see do not have any secondary sources by your logic, and therefore none should exist on Wikipedia. This would result in a huge number of articles being deleted.
- In my eyes, this is a clear meta issue of inclusion.
- My extensive defense of this page should warrant at least a community discussion as I believe this (and Gitanjali Rao & Avi Schiffmann, two others that you wish to have deleted) are important articles for Gen Z activism. Even on Avi Schiffmann's page, you completely ignore the sources that have pages and pages of independent analysis and synthesis, so it's clear you are intent on deletion even after additional evidence has been brought up. For example, you labelled these multiple CNN articles not conveying notability as well??? [23] [24]
- If NONE of these articles for Schiffmann, and now Jain, convey notability in your eyes, I am at a loss of words for what does? If these articles are primary sources then every article that is not a critique or review of a person will be primary, in your eyes. It is a definition debate here: what is primary and what is secondary? As per the Woodbury.edu page I gave above, along with Wikipedia's own tables, many of Jain's sources do indeed qualify as secondary sources.
- keep. I'll keep any future discussions on this article's talk page, or the main article's talk page. If any other Wikipedians want to weigh in, it would be much appreciated as well. CraigSut (talk) 01:53, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- If we look at any article, i.e. Orlando Brown Jr., you will see that nearly all of the 'secondary sources' utilized are majority quotes: [25]. By your logic, nearly every source on nearly NFL player's Wikipedia page is not a secondary source, because it is quotes?
- I find it interesting that we are debating on the notability of someone who has been interviewed and written about extensively and is far more notable than hundreds of current and historical NFL players. Wikipedia already lacks pages about scientists, especially those of color and in minority groups (which youth/young scientists are a part of!)
- This page is also a matter of meta:Inclusionism. The article is factual and retains merit and usefulness. With my recent improvements, I think it deserves a keep.
- Furthermore, the iterative nature of Wikipedia will help us add more secondary sources, solving your concerns. I will take a look at this once more tomorrow, and add additional secondary sources that contain significant analysis and synthesis. CraigSut (talk) 05:28, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- You've only shown that Jain does not meet Notability for academics and completely dodge the extensive sourcing that I provided, focusing solely on the 3M Award. You're also showing initiative to delete Gitanjali Rao (scientist) who is a very notable figure. I'd like to defer to the community on this to see what people think — if these Gen Z changemakers are indeed notable. CraigSut (talk) 07:16, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
I have pretty much finished rehauling this page -- no longer in favor of Draftify. I have removed all primary sources from the page, including references to the subject's LinkedIn and Twitter. This page seems to receive occasional low-quality edits, in which such primary sources keep getting added. I first removed any of these primary sources, then attempted to find additional sourcing for the information. If no sources were available, the edits were removed. With the subject's more recent recognition, such as the international awards and feature by the National Cancer Institute, I think it is clear that they meet notability guidelines. The page also previously had issues with promotional content, and biased points of views. I have attempted to bring in neutral language and an encyclopedic tone. I now OPPOSE the deletion as the page and subject meet WP:GNG guidelines. —CraigSut (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 04:05, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

- Kindly retain this page as it contains erroneous allegations about a deserving researcher. I reside in Portland where the Rishab is well known researcher in the community, and it wouldn't be astonishing if the town's residents contribute to his cause. Rishab's achievements have been corroborated by independent third parties, while on the other hand, there have been several instances in the past where jealous parents and negative elements in society have questioned his integrity. Nevertheless, every time, his accomplishments have been verified by independent third parties. Rishab has inspired so many kids younger and older to get excited about science and research. 134.134.139.78 (talk) 18:42, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- I would like to inquire about the individuals who are requesting deletion. Are they from Portland or are they possibly relatives of students who may be envious of Rishab's success and are now attempting to undermine it?
- Every year Rishab is delivering new research results to the world. Let us support this deserving researcher to continue on his mission! 134.134.139.78 (talk) 18:49, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'm unsure of what errgenous allegations are being made here. In your argument, you are suggesting we retain this page about a "deserving researcher", but the matter of fact is that this article does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (academics) as mentioned by hroest. This point is also supported by CraigSut who has contributed heavily to this article. Being a well-known research within a community isn't enough to meet the guidelines listed there, and the achievements you're mentioning are explicitly said to not count towards meeting those guidelines. While it is unfortunate that his accomplishments and integrity have been questioned by jealous parents and negative elements in society, it doesn't change the issue at hand here. In regards to your inquiry, I am neither from Portland nor related to Rishab Jain in any way. I am not a relative of any student who knows Rishab as far as I know. But, I do need to point out that Wikipedia article are not meant to "support" researchers on their mission. You seem to be hinting towards what may be a violation of Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 05:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- I would like to point out that in my discussion with Qx.est, we agree that the subject should not be classified as an academic. His notability should be weighed under general Notability guidelines. CraigSut (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Rishab Jain, a proven child prodigy researcher, visited Dublin a few years ago. I attended his lecture, and since then, I occasionally track his and other researcher pages, particularly after the passing of my family member with pancreatic cancer. Jain's sources are credible, and he has been working in research for 5 years, receiving recognition every year. He generates over 15K-20K hits on search engines, and his latest paper publications on Sarcopenia and Recombinant vaccination are published in academic journals. His Time magazine, Planet named after him, attests to his recognition. Unfortunately, our media doesn't cover scientists with same vigor as other disciplines like sports or music or politics. But Jain got fame as researcher and deserves to keep it! We should encourage researchers to focus on research instead of getting famous in media. His page inspires so many youngsters. Jain deserves to be tracked on Wikipedia for his research, Discord work, and Youtube work. His biography seems to meet Wikipedia guidelines. Comments above about a request for deletion due to a Gen Z/ Qx.est show Conflict of interest for request to delete other student pages. I looked through their work and this seems to be the first page requested by them like this. Two years ago, Jain's page was vandalized with inappropriate comments from other students, which were stopped. Jains wikipage has been up for at least 4-5 years now. I disagree with the requestor's arguments and support keeping the page. Oliver1981161 (talk) 11:48, 25 March 2023 (UTC) — Oliver1981161 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Hi Oliver! I'm sorry to hear about your family member's passing. This was mentioned earlier, but Rishab's work does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (academics) guidelines. I cannot find evidence of the 15-20K search engine hits, and the recent publication you are mentioning does not have a significant enough citation rate as mentioned by criteria 1. The recognitions you are also mentioning have mostly, if not all, been "victories in academic student competitions at the high school and university level as well as other awards and honors for academic student achievements" which also do not count towards criteria 2. These are the only two criteria which might be relevant for Jain's status as a researcher. Jain's Discord work and YouTube work do not appear to be substantial enough to have a page created as a Wikipedia:CREATIVE which deviates far from the sources about Rishab and his work. On a semantic note, I would like to point out is that an asteroid (considered a minor planet) was named after Rishab, not a major planet, because he was "a finalist in the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a math and science competition for middle-school students, for his medicine and health sciences project."[26] The WGSBN consistently names asteroids after finalists in Broadcom MASTERS and Regeneron Science Talent in nearly every bulletin, so I do not think this conveys notability on its own.
- Given the millions of pages on Wikipedia, the amount of time a page has been up does not indicate if it does or does not meet notability. It's very easy for anyone to create a Wikipedia article about anything. Additionally, my affiliation or not affiliation with generation Z does not present a conflict of interest with this article. That's not what Wikipedia:Conflict of interest is. Qx.est (Suufi) (talk • contribs) 06:41, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

I am aware of Mr. Turner’s prolific work in politics, policy, public affairs, communications, and national security. He is an entrepreneur, strategist, and high-level thinker who has advised at the highest levels of state government, national and international politics, and international and national security for entities such as NATO. His page doesn’t scratch the surface of his work and engagement.

- Keep: There is substantial coverage in the main source used, and evidence of other mentions on google books, including in reference to his playing of the gambus (a musical instrument). Much of the material on the page is poorly unsubstantiated and undue (the family stuff in particular), but I think there is enough to maintain a stub. It would be worthwhile to see what someone Indonesian might be able to find in historical sources dating to the Dutch period in some of the various scripts that could well be relevant here. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:26, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- For the record: the 'main source used' is still just a single source, and as such not enough to establish notability. Likewise 'other mentions', unless they measure up to sigcov. And notability, which is what's on trial here, is required of stubs just as well. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Clear case of WP:BIO1E and WP:NOTNEWS, no enduring coverage, all of the sourcing was in late 2016 - early 2017, after the Guinness announcement and all relating to the single event. Very similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Douglas and Mary Beth Meyer. Onel5969 TT me 14:14, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep due to breaking WP:Before/WP:DAN rules - I've been around here for 3 years. After never having interaction with this user, we have met 14 times around a month after I rejected the user's attempt to draftify an article. The user claims it is just total chance due to his New Page Patrol work, but with over 700 people in the New Page Patrol plus dozens to hundreds of articles being posted each day, the odds are astronomical. This will be Onel's 7th Afd Nomination attempt on me within about 2 weeks. The user publicly claimed "Too late, this same editor also has Christian Cavaletti, and Jackie Miley, and Harry Sperl, which I'm also probably going to nominate." before making this attempt in this thread - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Douglas_and_Mary_Beth_Meyer. This breaks wikipedia WP:BEFORE rules under Wikipedia:DAN, which completely nullifies the attempt. It also breaks WP:DLC, WP:REVENGE, WP:GAME, WP:MEAT, WP:WITCHHUNT and others. Beyond that, the article meets WP:GNG and has in-depth coverage. I'm really sorry that everyone has to have their time wasted over personal issues. I'm sure we will all see each other again real soon when he fulfills his threat on Jackie Miley (And if it's that much of a slam dunk case, why wait?), but either way, I'm not going to be stopped from contributing to the websiteKatoKungLee (talk) 14:28, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

- @Sungodtemple - I do not see how publicly announcing multiple nomination intentions in an unrelated thread with a user you do not get along with is possibly WP:GOODFAITH.

The result was no consensus. Consensus is not a vote, and a number of the keep arguments here are very weak and can be discounted. Even doing that, though, we still have reasonable disagreement about whether the sources are sufficient, and given the numerical split that means there's no consensus.

Comment I translated this from the Dutch version. I read Dutch articles am learning Dutch, so even if this is deleted again, I learned something from reading the sources. She has quite a few articles about her in mainstream Dutch news sources/magazines/online sites, and has made some notable TV appearances in the US and UK whether you agree with her opinions or not. Articles about her in the top Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf here, here, here but behind paywall. More full articles about her here in de Volkskrant, here in Trouw, here in RTL Nieuws, here in De Limburger and in Leidsch Dagblad here but behind paywalls. here, here and here in Het Parool, here in NOS (national broadcaster of Netherlands), and here in BNNVARA. This is in French, from the magazine Causeur, typical of the sort of coverage she has received. I am aware that she is a controversial figure, but she does have articles on her on five other Wikis and I thought it was inevitable that this article would have been recreated here at a later date. I think this can be further expanded by scouring the Dutch newspapers and notable online sites but most of them are behind paywalls... There is probably a valid reason why you can't find sources in the search engines. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:19, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. The article has plenty of sources, and a search in Google News turns up many more. I disagree with her views on covid vaccination and feminism, and really do not believe that the Dutch government is conspiring with the World Economic Forum to grab farmland and use it to house immigrants in a supercity. But she is notable. Banning mention of subjects they dislike is what authoritarian governments do, not Wkiipedia. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:04, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

She has a big following on social media and to not have an article on here when she's on five other Wikipedias would look like we're trying to censor things. I think she would have a lot more coverage in big newspapers across Europe if her views and actions weren't the opposite of what their governments want to see. I think she's someone who'll become a bigger name over the next few years, whether you agree with her or not. I tried to add some criticism of her views on feminism for neutrality purposes.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:24, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Please forgive me as I add my comments< as I cannot see where one can write independently>
- Anyhow, your comment seems to suggest that deleting Eva from Wikipedia, if that's what this is about, would be a rather retrograde step.
- Her views would be welcome by many. Some may oppose them, but then if free discourse is to take place, censorship would be inadvisable. Censorship should only be used for violence, explicit (overt) content, incitement to illegality, etc. I would think that most people can discern for themselves, and those who might wish to censor other people, may not like the same done to them.
- But it could be that many are open to either seeing another side, or they might be trying to formulate their own understanding. Deletion would stifle this.
- Personally, I do have sympathy with Eva's stand , or stance. I refer to her by Christian name, as her surname is quite long and not easy to remember !
- Eva is highly educated and very accomplished in her communication and formulation of her thoughts, and as this article says, she will go far.

- Delete. Since the previous AfD, which was only four months ago, absolutely nothing has changed to make her more notable than she was then. Her claim to notability is entirely based on the fact that she was on a draft list of FVD candidates back in 2020 and subsequently was one of those who left after the party exploded. If this would really make her notable, she would at least have been mentioned in Forum for Democracy or Thierry Baudet, but neither is the case. All the rest are videos on YouTube and Instagram, an internship in Brussels for half a year, two jobs that didn't last longer than a few months, a speech, a few opinion articles, a few TV appearances, and a few love relationships.
I would strongly suggest participants in this discussion to actually read the sources instead of just counting them. Most of the links given are not about Eva Vlaardingerbroek in particular, but just mention her in the context of that event from 2020; the more recent ones are columns mentioning her as an example of the extreme right grotesquely trying to hijack farmers' protests. The last link is about her father and only mentions Eva as a regular spreader of fake news. In reality, there is hardly any non-trivial coverage about this lady. And being intelligent or having interesting views obviously does not in itself make a person notable. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 10:34, 15 March 2023 (UTC)- At the first AFD the sources written purely about her in reliable sources wasn't demonstrated as it has been here. All of the sources linked above are about her and demonstrate notability. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- The sources are as reliable as they were four months ago. Recreating an article that has recently been deleted for lack of notability requires at least that the subject is more notable now than it was then. Besides, my point is that the existence of a few reliable sources alone is no evidence of notability: they should at least make it clear WHY the subject is notable. Her role in the collapse of FVD was a minor one, which probably explains why she isn't even mentioned in Forum for Democracy. Making videos on Instagram and YouTube doesn't make a person notable. All that's left is a person with extreme right views appearing a couple of times in extreme right media for no other reason than being a person with extreme right views? I mean, it's not like everybody who has ever been on TV is automatically important enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia, is it? —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 17:38, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - okay, I don't know the lady, just came across this article (I'm a little sensitive to second-time AfDs).

- Articles are not being deleted because of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I'd rather get the opposite impression: that at least some of those who absolutely want this article to be preserved are motivated by sympathy for her views. Ultimately, none of that matters. Although I have nothing but respect for Dr. Blofeld's work (and I am a fan of Blofeld in the performance of Donald Pleasence!). This is just about notability. Dr. Blofeld, where did you find this dozen sources that are only about her? The only two articles that are really about her are the dienstmaagd article in the Telegraaf (notes 6 and 19) and the interview (note 3). Notes 20–22 are only her relationship with Thierry Baudet; notes 9–10 are only about her being one of a few people being employed and then fired by a lawyer; notes 1, 5 and 14 only mention her briefly but do not give any substantial information; notes 2, 7, 11, 15, 16 en 18 are primary sources; note 12 is just a picture; note 17 is about her father; notes 4, 8 and 13 are columns (at least at the Dutch Wikipedia columns are not considered reliable sources). But that's not even my point. I still haven't seen a satisfying answer to the question what exactly makes her notable. She never held any political office, she is neither a scientist nor a journalist nor a writer, and except for a few months at a law firm never even had a job. True, she has been interviewed a couple of times by far right media, but every day, ever hour even, thousands of people are being interviewed on radio or TV. Shouldn't a person at least have achieved something to warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia? —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 16:53, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

- There's certainly more sources which are purely about her than that, Het Parool and Causeur for a start. And she is mentioned in the title on a few of the sources, which if she wasn't notable she wouldn't be highlighted. I think you'll find that there are more conservative publications across Europe which have articles on her. The "mainstream media" as the right like to call it, particularly those controlled or partly funded by the government are not exactly going to rave about an opponent who is criticizing them internationally in big western countries like the US and Britain anyway. I dislike seeing Wikipedia criticized in the media or on social media as being portrayed as some sort of Far-Left controlled outlet which tries to block, censor or attack conservative people or views. Similarly I disliked Ted Gioia's (non political) criticism of Wikipedia and the deletion of an article he was interested in. I ended up recreating it and setting the record straight that the system isn't being gamed as he had thought. I will defend us if I think we are being attacked for not being neutral regardless if the subject is on the right or left or it's not politically related and will recreate something if I think the decision was wrong and the sources are there. The Farmer's protests and activism I think is a very notable contemporary subject in the Netherlands as Aymatth pointed out. Millions of people know who she is from her interviews in the US and UK, whether or not she has had a career like Baudet, and each day hundreds of people visit us looking for information about her. They will naturally assume we are being censored when five other Wikipedias have articles on her, and it is inevitable that it would be recreated (in a much worse state than currently). There's many articles about Pokemon characters and Youtubers I'd gladly throw in the bin and don't think are notable, but she is notable to these people looking for information.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:17, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, Dr. Blofeld, for taking the time to reply. But let me ask you: have you actually read these sources? Because if you have, you should have noticed that the text from Het Parool is a column, in other words: the opinion of one person. Same goes for the Causeur text. Both are even written in the first person! Besides, how can you claim the Causeur article is "purely about her", since all it says about her is that she is pretty, that she Julien Rochedy's girlfriend, and that she denounced feminism at an FVD meeting? That's my problem with all these sources except for the two I mentioned: either they just mention her in some broader context, or they are personal opinions. See also WP:LOTSOFSOURCES. As for your other arguments:
- You are quite right about Wikipedia being attacked by the far right for "censorship", but you are boogieing on thin ice if that's a reason for you to be extra lenient towards them. Don't you agree that would be succumbing to intimidation? Besides, there's nothing uncommon about the censorship card being drawn in deletion discussions about unnotable subjects, and the fact that the far right makes more noise about it doesn't change that.
- The farmers' protest is indeed a very notable subject and it is already covered. But being there does not make an individual participant notable. (see: WP:INHERIT).
- „Millions of people know who she is” – that's a bold statement that requires proof, but even if it's true: WP:BIG.
- „hundreds of people visit us looking for information about her” – you don't know that. People may land on a page for various reasons, and statistics are easy to manipulate. But even then, it's not a notability criterion (see: WP:POPULARPAGE).
- „five other Wikipedias have articles on her” – same thing (see: WP:OTHERLANGS).
- „it is inevitable that it would be recreated” – not necessarily, it is always possible to put a lock on a title to prevent people from recreating a page about a non-notable subject.
- „There's many articles about Pokemon characters and Youtubers” – again, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid criterion.
- And let me repeat: this is not about censorship of political views, but much as I appreciate your efforts, I simply don't see how the sources you quote provide genuine evidence of notability. Cheers, —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 16:45, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Opinion of one person is still coverage and valid in encyclopedia articles. It's not about being "extra lenient" to anybody, it proves them wrong if anything as they thought there was a cabal of editors conspiring to censor her from here at all costs. If I thought we were right to delete it and that the sources weren't there I wouldn't touch it with bargepole. I'm surprised that there is an article on Dutch Wikipedia then if there are many like you who think she's not notable. Was there ever an AFD on Dutch Wikipedia? If it was kept, why was that? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:41, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

WP:BLP1E. Reliable sources have only covered this individual in the context of one event—her birth. She is less than five months old, and she remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual throughout her life. Moreover, the mere event of her birth is not something that would pass WP:NEVENT; it does not have a WP:LASTING impact nor does her birth have wide geographic scope. As such, this fails WP:BLP1E, and should be deleted per WP:DEL-REASON#9 for its existence violating our policy on the biographies of living persons. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 02:43, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Fraternity founder who was a low-ranking casualty in the Civil War, not seeing WP:GNG-bearing coverage here. The University of Alabama holds a collection of his letters, but that's a primary source. Most of the coverage that exists of him is brief mentions in lists of Sigma Alpha Epsilon founders.
The only substantial coverage I can find is in "our history"-type publications from the fraternity he founded. As that coverage is not independent of the subject, it cannot contribute to meeting WP:GNG. Hog Farm Talk 18:56, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - Thank you for alerting us that this rather stubby article wasn't up to snuff. I was surprised it wasn't tracked on our Watchlist, where it should have been listed. --Not all founders are noteworthy, but I think this one is, and we aim to monitor all blue linked founders names. I have added it to that watchlist, so the increased attention should prompt editors to improve it. My quick search of the category's standard reference book, Baird's Manual, found Abner Patton noted as a Founder in all editions of that book, first published 144 years ago, thus meeting the significant bar re: external coverage. Other non-trivial coverage in the national magazine or Banta's Exchange should provide other acceptable sources. I have updated the article, fixed several formatting errors, added two additional external references, and vote to !keep. Jax MN (talk) 19:51, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- To what depth does Baird cover the article subject, are we talking a mention as one in a list of founders, a few sentences, multiple paragraphs, many pages? And what are you referring to with
[o]ther non-trivial coverage in the national magazine or Banta's Exchange

- Weak keep - Although two out of the sources (Anson (1991) & Baird (1905)) of this article are primarily covering social college fraternities (such as Sigma Alpha Epsilon which Patton had co-founded), still his ties to the 11th Alabama Infantry Regiment along with the fact that the University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections preserves his letters to his family more than a century later signals some historical merit to this encyclopedic piece. AmshitBalcon (talk) 20:10, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Answering Ljleppan, Baird's commonly lists name, date, class and role of founding members of national societies. Our practice in these Fraternity and Sorority articles, to provide clarity, is to note the founders of national groups (but certainly NOT each chapter). Some of these are blue linked to articles, many are not. As Mr. Patton is a non-publicity seeking person, being long deceased, a war casualty and founder of an important and notable national group, I favor keeping and improving the article. It just needs citations, and probably a photo and some additional history on his role. I conclude the reason it is still a stub is that it was mistakenly not picked up for improvements by our Project. That error has now been corrected. I've begun to search for helpful coverage, as Wikipedia is a work in progress. The rush to delete is unwarranted, and example of "Deletionism" versus the more helpful and comprehensive approach of "Inclusionism".
- I also thank you for bringing it to our attention. Even though your own search didn't find citations, mine did, and Project participants will look for more. The rules regarding Deletion require competence, and elaborate on this, saying that
This means articles, categories or templates should not be nominated in a routine fashion, nor because one feels too lazy to check for sources, or if the content is still being built or improved.
--Thus I hope that the nominator sees this as an opportunity to fix the article, thus helping Wikipedia to be more inclusive. Jax MN (talk) 20:20, 11 March 2023 (UTC)- That is a very long text that doesn't answer my rather simple questions in the least. Ljleppan (talk) 20:32, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, but a respectful answer sometimes requires a few lines. I answered you in the first sentence. Further, Project volunteers have expanded the page significantly since the original nomination with more context, adding a number of references, including inline citations.

- That is a very long text that doesn't answer my rather simple questions in the least. Ljleppan (talk) 20:32, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - I agree the case for notability could be stronger but he is one of seven founders of the world's largest fraternity and served as that organization's first president. He is included in an Alabama State Historic Marker. His Civil War record may or may not be significant, but I found his Civil War letters reproduced in a book and the originals are part of a university archive. I added content and numerous sources to the article and suspect there is more to be found. The biographical summary by the university archives is a secondary source and can count toward significant coverage. There are at least two other references that provide significant coverage. Furthermore, Patton is mentioned in publications that are located outside of Alabama, such as Boston, Virginia, and Oklahoma and the nationally published Baird's. Although some of these references are just mentions, they nevertheless prove his notability is national, rather than local. Rublamb (talk) 00:59, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Sigma Alpha Epsilon as he fails WP:GNG and his only claim to notability and all the RS relate to that fraternity rather than him. Mztourist (talk) 04:06, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Sigma Alpha Epsilon as an alternative to deletion. Relevant notability guideline is WP:NBIO, which (because the subject does not fall under any of the
additional criteria
) reduces to WP:NBASIC/WP:GNG. The identified sources are insufficient to establish the subject passes NBASIC/GNG, because they are either non-independent, hyperlocal, unreliable, and/or passing mentions. The keep rationales above do not address these deficiencies with notability-establish sourcing, and the other reasons presented are invalid. For example, the notability of the fraternity is not a factor per WP:NOTINHERITED. Similarly, his letters being in an university archive is inconsequential, as they do not raise to the level of WP:AUTHOR. Also irrelevant are his ties to 11th Alabama Infantry Regiment: there is no WP:SNG for soldiers, and even if there was, he certainly would not meet it. Please do ping me with a detailed WP:THREE analysis (including a clear description of depth of coverage, both in terms of what is discussed and the raw amount of text focusing on the subject in specific) if you believe my interpretation is not correct and I'll happily reconsider my !vote. -Ljleppan (talk) 06:22, 12 March 2023 (UTC)- I could provide the three articles, but instead will conceed to @Mztourist's point that his only claim to notability is the fraternity. I have added some of the content and sources I found to that fraternity's article in anticipation that a redirect will be the reasonable outcome of this discussion. Having said that, I don't think this is a case of WP:NOTINHERITED. Founders of institutions, businesses, etc. frequently have articles in Wikipedia as there is a difference between being a member and being a founder. Rublamb (talk) 16:26, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

So I just went through and evaluated all of the sources cited in the article. I think the best bet here is going to be to redirect to the fraternity, where there is some coverage of him, as Patton doesn't seem to have done anything noteworthy besides found the organization. Hog Farm Talk 16:58, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - I disagree with you that a redirect is the 'best bet' on this one. The article should be kept. This is an arbitrary rush to !delete or otherwise !redirect. In good faith several of us have substantially improved the article. There is a strong precedent to A), list fraternity founders, B) provide articles about some of them. This gets to the nub of the Deletionist versus Inclusionist argument on Wikipedia: The resource (Wikipedia) is far more valuable if we aren't so heavy with the broomstick. We have the disk space; many of this long-deceased person's fraternity brothers would be interested in the article, and there is no doubt that he existed and that he did what is purported. As a work-in-progress, editors are finding more and more secondary sources to quote. Sources on this particular individual are likely to be in physical books, which require time to collect.
- Big picture, I myself use the GNG lens to review articles about living persons, and especially their works. Too often, these are publicity-seeking. This is not the case here. Rather, this article offers a fair summary about a person who is notable, and was even more notable in the past. And I remind us all, Wikipedia rules state that notability does not decrease over time.
- Let us continue to improve this article, now that the broader Project group is aware of it. Jax MN (talk) 17:23, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Answering Hog Farm, Thanks for your work on this. Very thorough and thoughtful. I believe the first source should be independent because I used the webpage content written by archival librarians at the University of Alabama, not the content of the archival collection which consists of letters Patton wrote during the Civil War. Also, The Clio is frequently used as a source in architectural articles in Wikipedia (I am a member of WP Architecture). Most of its content is written by scholars or their students, and only known scholars from approved organizations can edit and add content. Regardless, your assessment of its coverage is correct. Ludwig is also independent—refer to the Almanac of Fraternities and Sororities at the University of Illinois. This work was published and is hosted by the University of Illinois library. Lurding, the original author, was a member of Delta Upsilon, and Dr. Fran Becque, its current editor, is a member of Pi Beta Phi and a noted greek letter scholar. Again, the independence of the resources doesn't make this a significant coverage, but should probably be reflected in your table above. Rublamb (talk) 20:39, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim is essentially that his music exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself absent significant achievements (notable music awards, chart success, etc.) and/or the reception of reliable source coverage about him and his work to externally validate his significance -- but the referencing here is entirely to blogs and primary sources, with not a shred of WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about him shown at all.

- Delete - The musician has indeed been noticed by some blogs and fanzines, as already cited in the article, but those notices are few and are probably not reliable sources anyway. Otherwise, this is a standard case of a musician that has gotten his works onto the usual streaming and promotional services but has not generated the reliable media notice that can inform an encyclopedic article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:58, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - The artist has been published in reputable magazines (fRoots) as well as published print material (Unprepared To Die: America's Greatest Murder Ballads And The True Crime Stories That Inspired Them), I will update the page references to reflect this as I agree with you and Doomsdayer520 that online blogs are not reliable sources. The artist also maintains a high stream count on Spotify, the track 'Let The Devil In' nearing 300k streams, and 'Oh Death' now at over 100k. NWK47 (talk) 20:26, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Per Wikipedia policy, number of streams is irrelevant for this type of debate in which notability is being assessed. See WP:NMUSICIAN, where there are 12 criteria that can help a musician achieve notability, and you will see nothing about streaming counts. Meanwhile, the appearance in fRoots Magazine may help, but the article is copied at the blog by Paul Slade that is already cited, so it will add no new information. The book "Unprepared To Die" may also help but it is also by Paul Slade, who appears to repeat singular interviews around multiple platforms.

- Keep - at least for now - Just looked at his page views and something is going on. From 21 daily views to overnight hitting over 4K views.

- Delete The externally-linked filmography shows him connected to several household-name films, but WP:ENT doesn't apply because he wasn't an "Actor, voice actor, comedian, [...]"; just a sound engineer, and part of a team of sound engineers (as opposed to solo) at that. If the WP:ENT policy were to change to include sound engineers, that would change my !vote.
- Someone might instead argue that he meets WP:ENT criterion 2, "Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment," but that's more of a judgement-call and I'm not convinced based on what I see in the sources. If anyone supports a keep on that basis, please connect the dots.
- I'm also worried about the derogatory information in the article. There doesn't seem to be sufficient vital information about him or any photo of him in entertainment-related sources to rule out the possibility that someone else with the same name is on the offender registry.

Another autobiography/resume for a British regional radio DJ. Has needed additional citations since 2008, notability has been in question since 2012. Endless minute detail about the presenter's moves between stations and shows, and statements that cannot be cited. Citations/links are to passing mentions.

Hi there – I really tried hard here to make sure I produced an in depth article that was source rich, both with secondary sources, as well as contextual sources. In addition, in preparation for this I explored a lot of transmedia Wikipedia pages seeing what had been flagged on stub articles, and worked to improve some of the Wikipedia media pages for Stott as well. Over the last six months I have watched his visual media and got hold of some of the harder to find transmedia items too. In short, I put a lot of work into this to try and make sure it was fulsome, and not one of those stub items with ‘need more details and sources’ pegged to it! I see commenters have said things like this article uses blog posts and facebook mentions. However, these tend to be used for context and dates of release. There is also secondary sources such as newspapers, The Guardian, Liverpool Echo, The Bolton News; broadcasters, the BBC, industry magazines, such as Pocket Gamer, industry podcasts, such as Conducttr, and academic journals such as Journal of Screenwriting, Screenworks, Journal of Media Practice, as well as conference proceedings. I believe that there should be more representation of emerging artforms on Wikipedia, with their creators given the same depth of coverage as say filmmakers and musicians (which I have previously worked on). Given Stott’s 25 year career, vast mediaography, and awards (inc Webby Awards 2008) I thought the work and profile of this person in the UK artscene context to be an interesting project. I truly tried my best with this, and so am a bit disappointed it has been flagged. I don’t think the perfect should be the enemy of the good, but I also realise that the flagging is coming from a good place to keep Wikipedia the best it can be. In that spirit, if anyone can give me concrete advice how to improve this, I would be very open to that, as while I have been doing Wikipedia updates and page creations for a few years now, given this is just a hobby and a giving back to a resource I use all the time, I am certainly still a beginner, or newbie I guess. Thanks for reading. (User:McrPhilosophy) 11:03, 15 March 2023 (Indonesia)

- Delete - It appears he was only ambassador for under 2 years with no other notable events occurring outside of his ambassadorship. Bensci54 (talk) 17:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - "Resident Minister to Guinea" was not just a diplomatic post; in Nkrumah's days, it was also considered a ministerial position to a certain extent (check here). Due to Ghana-Guinea relations at the time (check here), the position of Resident Minister to Guinea was an important political post for the Nkrumah government, and for this reason, top political officials of the then CPP government were mostly appointed to this position. More importantly, finding digital sources to support and improve some Ghanaian articles is quite daunting. We must consider that the lack of references in this case may not necessarily equate to a lack of notability. To your point Bensci54, he served in ambassadorial positions for more than two years. He was Ghana's ambassador to Japan in 1966. Another document published in 1969 suggests that he was still Ghana's ambassador to Japan in the aforementioned year. The link has been added to the article (including more references and some more information). It is quite unfortunate that there is a lack of adequate resources for a page I find very important (for diplomacy, Ghana's diplomatic history etc). For this reason, I employ us all to reason with me on how editors in Ghana and Africa can add free knowledge to our beloved freely accessible encyclopaedia (Wikipedia) when there isn't much documentation to cite as references. Many important Ghanaian pages have been deleted due to the lack of references and hasty generalisation without understanding the context. It is quite unfortunate. This is not meant to trivialise the efforts of administrators and editors who work tirelessly to ensure that Wikipedia remains a source of credible information for the general public. This is a call to us editors to empathise with other editors from different geographic locations, understanding their unique needs and challenges. It is a struggle for us. Thanks Kinvidia (talk) 23:49, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per Kinvidia, and as the essence of the GNG is verifiability of information worth keeping. Clearly, a narrow deletionist interpretation of the GNG is even more threatening to Ghana's diplomatic history than it is to that of a great power. Moonraker (talk) 03:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep due to breaking WP:Before/WP:DAN rules - I've been around here for 3 years. After never having interaction with this user, we have met 14 times around a month after I rejected the user's attempt to draftify an article. This will be Onel's 6th Afd Nomination attempt on me this week. The user publicly claimed yesterday, "Too late, this same editor also has Christian Cavaletti, and Jackie Miley, and Harry Sperl, which I'm also probably going to nominate." before making this attempt in this thread - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Douglas_and_Mary_Beth_Meyer. This breaks wikipedia WP:BEFORE rules under Wikipedia:DAN, which completely nullifies the attempt. It also breaks WP:DLC, WP:REVENGE, WP:GAME, WP:MEAT, WP:WITCHHUNT and others. Beyond that, the article meets WP:GNG and has in-depth coverage. I'll see everyone later today when Onel attempts the same thing for other articles in some attempt to secure WP:WINNING.

. While Mr. Stübing's crimes may not have been as significant, they certainly seem to be notable and I see this as an analogous case.

- From WP:BLP1E
- Subjects notable only for one event
- Wikipedia is not news, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:
- If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
- If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.
- If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented.
- Wikipedia is not news, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:
- Let's look at what we have here:
- 1. Do reliable sources cover the article subject only in the context of a single event? (YES)
- 2. Is that person otherwise a low-profile individual? (YES, this is just a German citizen, not a person who is otherwise newsworthy)
- 3. Is there an article actually covering the event? (NO, which means nothing from this article can be merged anywhere and also negates the possibility of a separate bio as presented in the Hinkley example)
- I do not see a cogent argument for keeping this article. The BLP policy, of which BLP1E is part, is a bright line. This article fails on all counts. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 22:30, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete If there is an article about this it should be about the controversy and aftermath of the case, which is the notable thing, not the person themselves, this person doesn't have notability besides this event (WP:1E in the notability guideline says
The general rule is to cover the event, not the person.
). I also think the article does not pass WP:BLP1E - reliable sources only cover this person in the context of a single event, the person appears to remain low profile, and the event was not significant (I interpret a significant event as being something more like a national or globally important event, not just a case of a weird crime, which happen often) --Tristario (talk) 00:40, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Seems to me that any BLP1e issue could be dealt with by simply adding the word “case” to the article name, but I don’t think that’s necessary here. First, he’s well-known not just for the case, but also for the associated course of conduct which occurred over years. Second, our policy says, “If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual….” But I don’t think that’s likely, because he continues to campaign on the issue. Anythingyouwant (talk) 18:51, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Can you give a source for him continuing to campaign on the issue? I saw some unreliable sources like the Daily Mail saying something to that effect, but when I read the articles they didn't appear to mention anything he did in the present and quoted things and recounted things that happened in 2007, the time of the case. But maybe I missed something. I also wouldn't consider the subsequent appeals to be a separate event to the case Tristario (talk) 22:17, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- I saw an unreliable article from 2022 saying, “In Germany right now, Patrick Stubing is fighting to change the law around incest in his homeland.” No source seems to contradict that, so I don’t think we can say it’s likely wrong, though of course we cannot use the unreliable source in the BLP. Even putting all of that aside, he’s well known for the conduct, not just the case, of course people find the conduct more interesting than a bunch of legal details. Add to that the fact that appending the word “case” to the BLP title would be rather trivial and limiting. Anythingyouwant (talk) 22:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- We can't use an unreliable source to assume he's not low-profile, especially if reading the source doesn't clearly indicate he's still campaigning for this. And what conduct? It's pretty normal for a legal case and subsequent appeals to involve conduct, it often does. It doesn't stop it from being a BLP1E
- And I don't think we should just add "case" to the name, that would be a poor title. A better title should be chose and the article should be written based around the event, not a person Tristario (talk) 22:35, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- "What conduct", you ask. Of course, having several biological children with his biological sister over a course of years is the conduct distinct from any legal case, with more than one of the offspring having disabilities perhaps due to their messed-up genetics. Yes, legal cases often involve conduct, and conversely conduct often involves legal cases, but here I think that neither one predominates over the other, or else the conduct predominates over the legal case. Moreover, I don't assume he's not low-profile; I simply do not think it's been established that he is both low-profile and is likely to remain so. Anythingyouwant (talk) 22:51, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- That is indeed conduct, but I wouldn't consider that to constitute a separate event from the legal case. And I think the correct approach when it comes to living people is to assume that someone is low-profile until we have good evidence clearly indicating that isn't the case (per WP:BLP, it's important to get these things right) Tristario (talk) 22:59, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Even if we assume he's currently low-profile, you're saying that we should also assume he's likely to remain low-profile, and I just cannot do that based on nothing but unsubstantiated disagreement with an unreliable source. Additionally, the legal conduct does not, in my opinion, predominate over the non-legal aspects. Even putting all of that aside, I don't think an acceptable article title would be significantly different from what it is now. So I've tried to explain my !vote here as best I can. Cheers. Anythingyouwant (talk) 23:05, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
you're saying that we should also assume he's likely to remain low-profile
If we don't have a solid indication of him being high-profile besides something an unreliable source says and doesn't appear to substantiate very well, yes, we should be assuming this Tristario (talk) 23:09, 20 March 2023 (UTC)- Our Wikipedia guidelines say that the present article and title are okay if: "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role." You can see at Google Books that this matter has been showing up in a lot of reputable books. Anythingyouwant (talk) 23:34, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- That guideline isn't WP:BLP1E, that's from the notability guideline, WP:BLP, as a policy, takes precedence (The notability guideline also says
avoid the creation of unnecessary pseudo-biographies, especially of living people
). The coverage in those books, some of which are quite good sources, does lend more support to the idea that this counts as a significant event, so possibly WP:BLP1E may not apply. I still don't think it's a significant event though, only the initial results seem to mention the subject, and it's mostly in passing. Regardless, I still think we should be covering this as an event, not as a biography, per the guidance in WP:1E Tristario (talk) 00:49, 21 March 2023 (UTC)- I agree that a policy takes precedence over a guideline if they conflict with each other. But often the guideline merely clarifies or supplements the policy. Certainly we should try to read the guideline in a way that doesn’t conflict with the policy, before concluding that it does violate the policy. Anythingyouwant (talk) 01:11, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing a need to twist the guideline to make it something it is not. The policy is very clear to me. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 22:48, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

- That guideline isn't WP:BLP1E, that's from the notability guideline, WP:BLP, as a policy, takes precedence (The notability guideline also says
- Our Wikipedia guidelines say that the present article and title are okay if: "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role."

- "Even if we assume he's currently low-profile, you're saying that we should also assume he's likely to remain low-profile, and I just cannot do that based on nothing but unsubstantiated disagreement with an unreliable source."
- We absolutely can and SHOULD do so. Another pertinent policy is WP:VERIFY, which states "All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists, and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material. Any material that needs an inline citation but does not have one may be removed. Please immediately remove contentious material about living people that is unsourced or poorly sourced." Any article about this subject should cover the event, not the person. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 22:46, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

- Even if we assume he's currently low-profile, you're saying that we should also assume he's likely to remain low-profile, and I just cannot do that based on nothing but unsubstantiated disagreement with an unreliable source. Additionally, the legal conduct does not, in my opinion, predominate over the non-legal aspects. Even putting all of that aside, I don't think an acceptable article title would be significantly different from what it is now. So I've tried to explain my !vote here as best I can. Cheers. Anythingyouwant (talk) 23:05, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- That is indeed conduct, but I wouldn't consider that to constitute a separate event from the legal case. And I think the correct approach when it comes to living people is to assume that someone is low-profile until we have good evidence clearly indicating that isn't the case (per WP:BLP, it's important to get these things right) Tristario (talk) 22:59, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- "What conduct", you ask. Of course, having several biological children with his biological sister over a course of years is the conduct distinct from any legal case, with more than one of the offspring having disabilities perhaps due to their messed-up genetics. Yes, legal cases often involve conduct, and conversely conduct often involves legal cases, but here I think that neither one predominates over the other, or else the conduct predominates over the legal case. Moreover, I don't assume he's not low-profile; I simply do not think it's been established that he is both low-profile and is likely to remain so. Anythingyouwant (talk) 22:51, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- I saw an unreliable article from 2022 saying, “In Germany right now, Patrick Stubing is fighting to change the law around incest in his homeland.” No source seems to contradict that, so I don’t think we can say it’s likely wrong, though of course we cannot use the unreliable source in the BLP. Even putting all of that aside, he’s well known for the conduct, not just the case, of course people find the conduct more interesting than a bunch of legal details. Add to that the fact that appending the word “case” to the BLP title would be rather trivial and limiting. Anythingyouwant (talk) 22:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Can you give a source for him continuing to campaign on the issue? I saw some unreliable sources like the Daily Mail saying something to that effect, but when I read the articles they didn't appear to mention anything he did in the present and quoted things and recounted things that happened in 2007, the time of the case. But maybe I missed something. I also wouldn't consider the subsequent appeals to be a separate event to the case Tristario (talk) 22:17, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Non-notable couple. We don't consider World Records notable unless there is sourcing that talks about them in detail. Beyond confirming the largeness of the grapefruit, there is nothing about these people. Gsearch goes straight into social media links. Oaktree b (talk) 16:40, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

We can't take your word for it. If I search them, I find a whole list of news articles - https://www.google.com/search?q=Douglas+and+Mary+Beth+Meyer+grapefruit&client=firefox-b-1-d&ei=IWoHZNbDDunY5NoPmoWCyAo&ved=0ahUKEwiW2KaZosr9AhVpLFkFHZqCAKkQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=Douglas+and+Mary+Beth+Meyer+grapefruit&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKABMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQoAE6CAgAEKIEELADOgUIIRCrAkoECEEYAVDbHFjqKGDTKWgBcAB4AIABgwKIAcoJkgEFNi40LjGYAQCgAQHIAQXAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz-serp. I'm curious as to how OP could not find these while I could. I have to question WP:AGF and WP:GAME due to how different our results were. We also know this couple would be in the Guinness World Records book since they are listed as a record holder.

The opinion of people believing that this doesn't even warrant a mention at "grapefruit" are just as valid as those preferring a merge, and nothing in WP:ATD says that merge opinions "receive priority". "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page."

- No, preserving the edit history is not preferable, why would it be? If there would be consensus that nothing here is worth merging, then it is not preferable to keep the edit history, it would serve no purpose. We shouldn't do a merge as a means to keep the edit history, we should keep the edit history if and only if a merge is deemed the best solution. What I dispute is that merges would somehow receive priority over deletion (I've even seen the claim, though I don't remember if it was made by Gidonb, that one good faith merge !vote would automatically overrule all delete !votes).

Another "radio presenter resume" article - presenter has moved around various local and regional stations in the UK and now presents a single weekend show on a national radio station, which is not in and of itself notable. Citations are generally of the "this person exists" variety (e.g. his entry in a general register!) and/or passing mentions of the subject, and I can't find any more meaningful assertion of notability elsewhere. The only article about the subject is the Guardian piece, which is a review of a programme presented by him rather than about him per se. Capital Brighton (née Juice 107.2) is notable, Radio X is notable, this person is not. Flip Format (talk) 11:45, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

A classic genealogical entry. No in-depth coverage detected. There was a routine coverage of her wedding. That is not enough to warrant a standalone article about her. Her being born, married, having children, and attending a wedding before dying is hardly something Wikipedia needs to report. Surtsicna (talk) 05:43, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Women, and Austria. Surtsicna (talk) 05:43, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The main source was terrible, I have improved on that. I would agree that Archduchess Agnes Christina of Austria is probably not an important figure, but notability as defined in the WP:GNG is nothing to do with importance. Whether everyone likes it or not, royal and imperial genealogy was significant at the time and still is, for the period in question: the idea of a non-notable emperor's granddaughter must I think be wrong, as there are sure to be many more reliable sources giving significant coverage. Far more harm than good is done by the aim of deleting ruling family genealogy from the encyclopaedia the world is coming to rely on. Moonraker (talk) 23:14, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia very explicitly is not meant to host genealogical entries; WP:NOTGENEALOGY is no less than policy. Her being someone's granddaughter does not warrant a Wikipedia biography (see WP:INVALIDBIO) because relationships do not confer notability (see WP:NOTINHERITED). If there is enough in-depth coverage to justify having this article, please do cite it. Merely saying that there must be sources is not quite enough, I'm afraid. Surtsicna (talk) 23:57, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Which section of What Wikipedia is not is your redirect aimed at, Surtsicna? Obviously, we are not a repository for genealogical stuff in general, like Ancestry.com. But, inevitably, there is an awful lot of the genealogy of ruling families here, because it gave individuals great power, including women, at a time when they couldn't get it otherwise, triggered civil wars, and was a large part of national power struggles. You seem to want to take bricks out of that wall, contrary to Jimbo's plan of "all human knowledge will be here". I have added a couple of good English-language sources and am sure there are much better German-language ones. Moonraker (talk) 13:54, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- WP:NOTGENEALOGY: Wikipedia is not a directory of genealogical entries. This article is nothing more than a genealogical entry. It records nothing but whom she married; to whom she gave birth; and who her parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents were. If she was of any national importance, as you seem to suggest, you will probably be able to cite in-depth coverage that proves her encyclopedic notability. But as it stands now, her mere existence is no reason to have an article about her. Surtsicna (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- On the contrary, I said above "I would agree...probably not an important figure". Thank you, I now see the section, which says "Genealogical entries. Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic." And that is my point, I have yet to come across a non-notable imperial family. Moonraker (talk) 22:43, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- WP:INVALIDBIO: "That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); relationships do not confer notability." Also, she was born a decade after her family became commoners, so there is no imperial family to even talk about. Surtsicna (talk) 23:19, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Moonraker is right. I have to disagree with the reasoning by Surtsicna here in support of deletion, and feel that the OP has not considered any alternatives to deletion. As I've said in other discussions today, there are ALWAYS alternatives to deletion. Existing sources appear to show notability, regardless of what the OP believes. I think they should have done a deeper dive into sources on this topic BEFORE an AfD. I have seen this faulty approach in other AfDs where users believe that an AfD will "improve" a page but that is not true, as it puts the page in a sort of limbo instead. Anyway, if the page is kept as a result of this discussion, I hope that the OP will help improve it and make it a better page, as I've been in some AfDs when the discussion has ended, and the original OP does nothing to help improve the page.Historyday01 (talk) 03:59, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. There is currently no evidence of notability. A quick search (although not as deep a dive as some people have access to, I'm sure) didn't reveal anything more. As others have already noted, what's here is purely genealogical, plus one wedding announcement. I'm happy to reconsider if someone can dig up some sourcing, but until then, I don't see it. This may be moot at this point too, but I'm especially puzzled at the article title. As far as I can tell from poking around. there was no monarchy in Austria at the time of her birth (or at any point after), meaning the title is fictitious, and the article should have been under her real name. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 23:59, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Non-notable person who adopted an absurdly long name purely as a publicity stunt. This is clearly not a natural surname anybody would have, its just the plot of Battlestar Galactica poorly translated into German. The Guinness Book of World Records is the primary source the article relies on, and is not considered to be a reliable source for Wikipedia.

- According to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources there is no consensus that Guinness World Records is a reliable source. There are very few references to this gentleman unconnected to his appearance in the Guinness Book of World Records and basically no irrefutable proofs that the science fiction short story version of his name even existed before he attempted to gain publicity. Guinness World Records eventually removed him from subsequent editions, probably because they worked out it was a hoax. Valethske (talk) 05:23, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- If somebody is in the Guinness World Records then that is not notability in itself but if a person becomes notable for a reason tied to their being in the Guinness World Records, i.e. Reliable Sources recognise that person for it and cover them, then that is notability. People can become genuinely notable, even become major celebrities, for all sorts of strange and/or silly reasons and this is very far from being the worst of them. As I said before, this guy is notable. He's not top-tier notable, and I wouldn't want to see the article become extravagant, but he is notable enough for a short biography. DanielRigal (talk) 11:35, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- There are indeed all manner of unusual Guinness World Record holders notable enough to have Wikipedia articles (examples I can think of off the top of my head are Michel Lotito and Lucky Diamond Rich), but some readily verifiable and notable (yet unusual) record holders do not have Wikipedia articles, such as Ram Singh, a Bollywood actor who is the owner of the world's longest moustache. I would argue Singh is far more notable than Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff because he is more verifiable and has actually had a documented career worthy of inclusion (for example he appeared in Octopussy and many Indian films). All three of the record holders I've mentioned have been entertainers with unusual acts or attributes, whereas Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff was just an otherwise non-notable man with an unusual penchant for continually adding words to his surname until it was a mini space opera.

- If the article is to be retained at all (which I'm not convinced of) the absurdly long versions should at least be presented with a degree of skepticism due to the fact that they all tell a short science fiction story about ancient astronauts. The article currently does not even remark on the nature of the name. 92.12.140.5 (talk) 14:58, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

- My main issue is that it seems to uncritically accept the man's claims that the hundreds of characters long science fiction version of his name is his "real" name, despite only the 35 character appearing anywhere remotely official. Almost all of the sources go right back to either himself, people who knew him or the Guinness Book of World Records.

Nominator's comment: I support deleting this article because the subject genuinely does not appear to be notable except as a piece of trivia. As I mentioned earlier, many unusual Guinness World Record holders are notable for reasons other than appearing in Guinness World Records, whereas this man appears not to be particularly notable other than using (whether by birth or adoption) an unusual name. Valethske (talk) 18:22, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- That is exactly why it would make sense to move this to Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, and make the article about the surname. BD2412 T 21:25, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- I would be okay with that.
- That's a point, is there any evidence at all that anybody except Wolfe Sr. ever used the very long science fiction variant? If neither his son nor his father did then it would be strong evidence that the exceedingly long and poorly attested version originated and died with this single individual.
- Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff is unusually long, but it does appear to be a legitimate and grammatically correct German compound and does not contain strange references to spacecraft or extraterrestrials. Valethske (talk) 05:14, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

In addition, some subject-specific notability guidelines, such as Wikipedia:Notability (sports), provide criteria that may support the notability of certain individuals who are known chiefly for one event.

What do you think the differences are from winning survivor and winning a boxing world title or a major chess tournament and so forth?

- Survivor is an athletic competition as much as it is a social or mental competition. And I'd argue that sports are just as much of a mental competition as they are an athletic competition, since players shut down mentally and cannot perform because as well of it. So for Survivor fans, it's just going to come across as WP:JDL. KatoKungLee (talk) 14:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- These "events" should come down to WP:PAGEDECIDE. Readers expect more from the article about the oldest winner. I don't see how an autobiography and a campground can save the article from being redirected to a destination target. Sure, his efforts haven't stopped at Gabon, but using these two as determination to not only prove his notability but also to save this article? I'm unsure whether I'm willing to do that.

Relisting comment: The "keep" opinions are of very poor quality, asserting notability for winning a reality TV show without basis in applicable guidelines. This needs more discussion of the quality and quantity of available sources.

- I don't consider him a "celebrity", an "actor", or other things. And his TV appearances in those talk and news shows are guest roles.... and probably don't make much of an impact on entertainment field. He gained minor attention as the oldest Survivor winner at the time, but considering him a "celebrity" for just winning Gabon begs for more, doesn't it? Oh, and those episodes are only from Gabon season. George Ho (talk) 22:46, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- Neither of those sources explicitly mention Crowley, and they don't consider him an "actor". I searched for reliable sources calling him an "actor" only to come up short and empty. Not even this questionnaire considers him an "actor". (If curious, I don't think this source is "independent" of Crowley, defined by WP:GNG, and shouldn't be used to determine Crowley's notability.)

- Professionally, he's neither an "actor" nor an "entertainer". How does being a challenge beast and then a Survivor winner automatically make him an "entertainer"?

- Redirect to that season's page. Wasn't notable before the win, hasn't done much of anything since. This isn't 2005 where there have only been a few winners, they're almost a dime a dozen at this point. We're past Survivor season 20 now.

- and what policy do you invoke to support your vote? Xxanthippe (talk) 23:29, 11 March 2023 (UTC).
- Keep - The subject meets WP:BIO/WP:GNG, and I don't see that they meet the 3 criteria for WP:BLP1E. (I don't think he meets any of the three criteria, although as this AfD discussion suggests he may meet point (1) depending on your interpretation of the phrase "in the context of a single event".) As suggested in the essay WP:NOTBLP1E, the subject is a common case: "Subjects who were first notable for one event, and rode that fame into attention on their other endeavours." Suriname0 (talk) 19:42, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reading BIO, I see WP:NBASIC saying that he must meet also GNG, but then I don't see how he meets WP:ANYBIO. NBASIC might suffice, but then there's WP:BIO1E (different from BLP1E), which addresses how to weigh one or another within a biography like this.
- Reading GNG, however, "presumed" is one of things/criteria for the person to meet, but then it further says that the article itself would be perceived to violate WP:NOT per one discussion, regardless of notability. How and/or why do you think the article doesn't violate WP:NOT, particularly WP:NOTEVERYTHING?
- Furthermore, do you think Survivor: Gabon is just one event or has more than one event? To me, the whole season is just one event, despite displaying multiple challenges and Tribal Councils and dialogue scenes. Also, I am uncertain whether his academic career or post-Survivor activities/events are noteworthy, but then by default, I'm more concerned about expressing the biography about the oldest winner at the time, which is addressed by WP:WHATISTOBEDONE (part of WP:NOT). George Ho (talk) 23:56, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- George Ho, WP:BLUDGEON aside, Crowley, as mentioned above, won the season (notable), wrote a book (notable) and created a Business Insider acknowledged and reported on camp (notable). Please stop misleading Keep commentators by saying that this notable individual somehow isn't notable. You can think that, but that's a personal opinion and not based in the Wikipedia guidelines you link to. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:13, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'll admit to being a little confused by your reply. Being a Survivor contestant I presume to be one event (although I've never seen the show and don't know much about its structure). You ask "why do you think the article doesn't violate WP:NOT?", a question I don't understand; the fundamental goal is for an encyclopedic article to capture the knowledge about the topic as reflected in significant coverage from reliable sources. It doesn't seem as though the Delete voters disagree that there is sustained, significant coverage of the subject, so the goal here is to assess whether the best editing outcome is a standalone article about Crowley vs covering Crowley in the article about the show. My reading of, e.g. the Business Insider and Men's Health pieces is that they include summary of Crowley's post-Survivor activities that I presume would be inappropriate to include in the primary article about the season. Suriname0 (talk) 00:33, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Why does a summary of Crowley's post-Survivor activities need to be in Wikipedia at all? Every article topic and subtopic contains more verifiable info than is included on the page it appears on; in fact exhaustive details are prohibited by NOT. As mentioned above, the coverage in the two sources is in the context of his Survivor win, with the only additional material being on his book and company, neither of which generated SIGCOV in BLP-level SIRS on its own (I'll note again that Business Insider is of questionable reliability at RSP). The piece in Men's Health is one in a long string of low-quality BuzzFeed-style articles by its author (e.g. 70 Hilarious Memes That Perfectly Describe Your Sex Life) and mostly regurgitates trivia from the Survivor fandom wiki before dropping an affiliate marketing link (tag=menshealth-auto-20) to Crowley's book on Amazon. All we get out of this is two sentences on what he did after Survivor. That's not enough in my opinion. JoelleJay (talk) 01:47, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you Suriname0, a very well written summary. JoelleJay, come on, it's pretty obvious that Crowley has survived this Tribal Council. I would think that at the very least this discussion comes across as 'no consensus', with Suriname0's
case-closedabove comment alone. Let's compare Suriname0's comment to Crowley having a hidden idol (WP:HIDDENIDOL, dibs) which is brought out near the end of the vote. Maybe George Ho would consider ending this AfD with Crowley still on the Island (or wherever Wikipedia exists in the aethersphere). That'd be a cool win for him. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:07, 14 March 2023 (UTC)- Hey User:Randy Kryn, I don't think this is completely fair. Personally, I read the arguments as favoring a Delete consensus, and my comment is certainly not (or intended to be) "case-closed". Suriname0 (talk) 14:14, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Suriname0. I struck the case-closed comment because of your concern. That's how I read it though, it was a very good summary. This page has been stable since 2008, and since you don't watch the show, Crowley is an important part of its legacy as the oldest contestant. It's a popular show and, more importantly, was a pioneer of the reality show jugganaut which then took over television. This winner's notability comes from several angles and not just one (even though the one-notable thing is being used here seemingly as the sole reason to render him off-the-island, the metaphor I was playing with above).

- Hey User:JoelleJay, I agree the Men's Health piece is questionable. The Business Insider piece looks better (but still not great), with evidence of some actual reporting going on. But I absolutely agree that the question "Why does a summary of Crowley's post-Survivor activities need to be in Wikipedia at all" is the crux of the issue. Basically, I don't trust my feelings on this issue because, well, I don't like the topic of the article. "Post-survivor activities" basically feel like WP:FANCRUFT to me, but if it's verifiable to a reliable secondary source... then I feel hard-pressed to say it doesn't deserve a sentence. Is it really more fancruft-y then when I look up a TV actor's personal life on Wikipedia? Genuinely interested to hear your further thoughts on this topic. Suriname0 (talk) 14:13, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Suriname0, yep, I understand your predicament. WP:NOTWHOSWHO offers some guidance on this (related to BLP1E), as does NOTGOSSIP, which licenses selective exclusion of facts. We don't need to detail every relationship Brad Pitt has ever had, even though each of them is readily verifiable in multiple SIRS. Likewise, not every detail related to Survivor -- and the two post-TV facets of Crowley's life are certainly covered in this context -- needs to appear on Wikipedia. Pretty much all the contestants on the show have a "post-Survivor" section on their fandom entries with multiple sourced facts; if these don't need to appear on the main season's page, why should they be the basis for another article?
- Anyway, I appreciate your measured responses here even if we disagree on the ultimately subjective assessment of DUEness and NOPAGE. It's a breath of fresh air to discuss this somewhat philosophically rather than with dogmatic pronunciations. JoelleJay (talk) 16:52, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- I normally avoid the long AfDs... it was seeing that you had participated that led me to take a closer look! Always appreciate your responses. Anyway, those links are useful but still leave me a bit confused. WP:GOSSIP says "Not every facet of a celebrity's life ... warrants inclusion in the biography of that person, only those ... for which our readers are reasonably likely to have an interest." For major figures like Brad Pitt, we have to be selective in order to create a coherent, reasonable length article. But for random people like Crowley, we only have the sourcing for a single sentence on his post-Survivor activities anyway! I do think anyone looking up Crowley would be "reasonably likely to have an interest" in his post-Survivor activities. The argument about other wikis is interesting, but it hasn't prevented English Wikipedia from becoming a sports statistics repository. Suriname0 (talk) 15:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

He was non-notable before the event and non-notable after the event. The event itself was trivial so this is, at best, a WP:BLP1E. I hope the closing administrator will act on policy and will not allow themselves to be WP:Bludgeoned. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:59, 14 March 2023 (UTC).

Okay, being mistaken as a lawyer I will comply. WP:BLP1E fails because Crowley is not a WP:LPI (low-profile individual) who hasn't sought public attention - a direct requirement for WP:BLP1E (see point number 2, and please read the text of WP:LPI). He has sought and gained public attention. He has written a book, and opened a noted camp. But let's say Xxanthippe is correct, and the weight of all of the Keep comments and of failing every sentence of WP:LPI are not enough to keep the page through at least a 'no consensus' ruling. Then the only policy left, and hopefully this won't be needed and what follows is just an academic exercise, is WP:IAR.
Hold on, don't stop reading. Many editors entirely miss or haven't comprehended the language used in the WP:IAR policy. Some make it out to be an exotic curiosity, and one which should never be used in AfD discussions. An editor was recently taken to ANI because he cited WP:IAR in some football AfDs, and, although I followed it awhile, I have no idea how it turned out. But the policy - not a guideline, or an essay, this is Wikipedia policy - tells us that if keeping a page is good for the encyclopedia, and removing it hurts the encyclopedia, it is kept. Automatically, per WP:IAR policy. The exact language: "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." In this case, maintaining the encyclopedia by leaving this stable 2008 article alone, which many editors say to do. It seems that the closer would be obliged by Wikipedia policy to ignore the editors who point to an arguably encyclopedia-harming guideline about one event, and who then stretch it to its limit by claiming that Crowly, being an author and a notably sourced camp creator, means nothing. That he didn't really mean to be a public author. That he accidently created and promoted his camp and his connection to the camp. WP:LPI must be met to claim WP:BLP1E. It hasn't been. If somehow (?) it has, stretching the limit of purposely ignoring BLP1E requirements, then WP:IAR comes in to give the policy a nudge back to neutrality. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:11, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- I think you're referring to this ANI discussion, right? From what I skimmed, the consensus nearly supported warning the user, but I'm unsure whether it went somewhere or nowhere. I couldn't read the ANI case fully, but I found that some of AFDs that the user participated in resulted in "kept" (not solely per IAR) and that some others resulted in either "deleted" or "redirected".
- Speaking of IAR, I would be too reluctant to invoke it in order to ignore BLP1E and its spirit, especially when poorly referenced info or extensively detailed info about the said person would be told to readers. But I can't stop you from doing that. George Ho (talk) 05:50, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
Please will a brave administrator put this time-wasting AfD out of its misery? Everything (and more) that can be said has been said. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:07, 15 March 2023 (UTC).
- You did not address WP:LPI, which is a requirement for WP:BLP1E (see point number 2, and please read the text of WP:LPI). Only low-profile individuals can be the subject of BLP1E. It is limited to people who don't seek publicity and who somehow got caught up in an event. Crowley is a high-profile individual according to WP:LPI, so this page cannot be deleted by citing WP:BLP1E. Almost all of the delete "votes" and some of the redirect votes incorrectly use WP:BLP1E (rendering this discussion to overwhelmingly favoring keep). Randy Kryn (talk) 06:25, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- You're linking to an essay, which doesn't mean much and certainly doesn't invalidate BLP1E concerns. I disagree that being mildly self-promotional during the 1E (the book was released less than a month after the season concluded) turns one into an eternally high-profile individual. Given the only arguably SIGCOV piece covering his post-Survivor activities is a) in the context of Survivor, b) promoting his business, c) in the finance section of a yellow source, and d) from 7 years ago, I'd say the conditions of BLP1E are still met. Not to mention having the added material on Wiki only serves as PROMO for the subject's enterprises. JoelleJay (talk) 18:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

- You're linking to an essay, which doesn't mean much and certainly doesn't invalidate BLP1E concerns. I disagree that being mildly self-promotional during the 1E (the book was released less than a month after the season concluded) turns one into an eternally high-profile individual. Given the only arguably SIGCOV piece covering his post-Survivor activities is a) in the context of Survivor, b) promoting his business, c) in the finance section of a yellow source, and d) from 7 years ago, I'd say the conditions of BLP1E are still met. Not to mention having the added material on Wiki only serves as PROMO for the subject's enterprises. JoelleJay (talk) 18:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

- @George Ho - Since, you want to talk about individuals, we can stick to individual sports - Why is winning a Boxing, UFC or Olympic title notable? Is it because they are popular sports/events? Survivor's popular. Is it because the media covers those events? The media covers Survivor and doesn't cover things like porn, which are extremely popular, so media coverage isn't always the best way to judge anyway. Is it because you have to beat other people to win one of those titles/events? Same thing with Survivor. Is it because those are physical games over mental games? Well, Survivor is a very physical game with many athletic competitions such as swimming, lifting, climbing and often things like wrestling, basketball and so forth. What differences do you really see? Additionally, how would you say someone like Mark Magsayo is more notable? What other things has he accomplished outside of boxing? Nothing, yet nobody would ever really say he doesn't deserve a page here even though it's WP:BLP1E. I really hope you don't go with WP:OTHERSTUFF in your explanation as well. The argument really just comes down to WP:JDL. KatoKungLee (talk) 03:48, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I really hope you don't go with WP:OTHERSTUFF in your explanation as well.
I think you already did by comparing a Survivor winner to a Super Bowl winner... and further down. And comparing Survivor to other sports. (You also didn't mention that Survivor also is a reality TV show with strategic, social, and political aspects.) Oh, and Magsayo participated in individual boxing events, while White... participated in just one Survivor season, and even individual challenges are also part of the Samoa season, which is... one "event" to me. George Ho (talk) 05:08, 10 March 2023 (UTC)- It has to be compared since you don't believe it's that Survivor is important enough on its own. I agree that Survivor is not considered by some to be a sport, but it's an athletic, mental, social and strategic competition and trying to convince Survivor fans that it is any different than other competitions is never going to happen. I don't think the television show part is important because various sports are also on TV and have various elements geared towards TV like commercial breaks, half-time shows, instant replays, interviews and so forth. While sporting events can exist without television, so could Survivor, it would just be harder to follow. The various challenges happen once, involve multiple people and awards/rewards are given out for winning them. Since you can win a challenge and still lose the game or lose a challenge and still win a game they are separate events. Of course, they have impact on the final outcome, but you can also lose a boxing match and go on to win a title (or lose a round and win the match), you can lose a heat in the olympics and still win a medal and you can lose an NFL game and still win the title. Again, the debate really just comes down to the media and/or various people believing that one competition is more important or more legitimate than other, which is WP:JDL.KatoKungLee (talk) 13:43, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- DELETE or redirect per BLP1E. OtherStuffExists is poor rationale which is most of the “keep” !votes. I’ll note that Russell Hantz, the season’s runner-up has an article, but that’s because he’s notable beyond BLP1E. And sure, there are lots of sources here. But they are all referencing the BLP1E. Bottom line is at the moment this is a BLP1E, regardless of “other winners have articles” and sourcing also points to a single event. I see no other “keep” argument based on policy. Frankly I would close this myself except for having just !voted on it. This is a no-brainer. Artificial Nagger (talk) 20:21, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Artificial Nagger, since WP:BLP1E does not apply if the person sought publicity, which this individual did by showing up on the set of Survivor and agreeing to be filmed, that's enough to rate as a high-profile-individual per WP:LPI. She fits the criteria. LPI must be applied, but it's possible that closers who close pages which contain long discussions in a minute or two may have never analyzed that, which is why discussion participants should. Please have another look at the two links, thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 05:18, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- BLP1E is a policy, the purpose of which is stated quite clearly (emphasis added)
- Wikipedia is not news, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article
- And then the “three conditions” follows. And they apply to this and many other ‘Survivor’ articles. One could claim these contestants aren’t trying to be low-profile simply by appearing on the show, but I find that somewhat rather disingenuous an “ask” for people to swallow; these contestants have demonstrated they are low-profile because the sources only refer to them with respect to the 1E. Are they attempting to capitalize their 1E fame? What do the sources say? This reminds me of the old NFL adage of “If you’re not cheating you’re not trying”. Or in this case I’d expect to see some effort on part of the person trying to raise their profile. I’m not seeing it. And WP:LPI is an essay. It has some good advice, but even that points to these “winners” being LPI because profile can change over time. Because taken as a whole, they don’t seem to be seeking celebrity. This formulamatic approach you’re pushing is ignoring the spirit of BLP1E that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. “The Community” feels Survivor is just not that important. I’m sorry, but there it is. Artificial Nagger (talk) 06:56, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the in-depth answer. WP:LPI is linked as the description of low-profile-individual for BLP1E and must be met to qualify. A low-profile-individual is one who doesn't seen publicity, such as a private citizen caught up in a news story (that's actually what 1E means taking the linked LPI into account, which it must be per how it's worded). Randy Kryn (talk) 07:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- “must be met”. No, just no. This is Wiki-lawyering. Essays do not have any force or mandates on policy. A link to an essay is merely there for reference. It’s not a formula that has to be “met”. If low-profile-individual needed an actual definition it would have been spelled out in the policy. Occam's Razor applies. What is a LPI? We knows it when we sees it. Or more appropriately, the sources tells us what kind of profile they have. And for this BLP, and most of the other “winner” BLPs up for deletion would be considered low profile by any reasonable editor. Artificial Nagger (talk) 07:50, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect to Survivor:Samoa. There's a lot of sourcing that isn't independent or reliable; blogs, or sites associated with the show. The coverage that remains could be used to write a stub, or it could be used to supply a little detail on the parent page. I'd argue the latter serves the reader better, as there's centralization of information without due weight issues.

Although he appeared in both Palau (in which he won) and Heroes vs Villains, this person was more significant in Palau. He was eliminated before the merge in Heroes vs Villains, and I don't think his gameplay made much of an impact to that season, despite how visual and apparent it was. Outside of Survivor, I've seen just his firefighting experience, his shift to insurance (but described briefly), and his personal life.

The criterion "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions;" is not fulfilled if you win one show and finish 16th in another (maybe winning twice would count as "significant roles" in multiple "television shows"). Another way to look at this is to see how much in-depth coverage about them is actually available which seems to boil down to three tidbits of information about being a firefighter, insurance industry worker and having a deaf daughter.

Where is any of that information for this, or any other Survivor winner? -fuzzy510 (talk) 21:25, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Just in case, the Super Bowl comparison that fuzzy510 was referring to can be further seen in another ongoing AFD discussion. George Ho (talk) 07:29, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- WP:BLP1E doesn't fit this nomination because his participation in Survivor makes him a high-profile individual which removes him from BLP1E (see WP:LPI which must be met to qualify). Randy Kryn (talk) 04:37, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- If you think BLP1E doesn't apply, then how about WP:BIO1E instead? As I believe, it can apply to any individual, high- or low-profile, living or deceased, notable for just one event. Of course, it's subjective at best. To me, he was highly significant in only highly-viewed Palau; not so much in Heroes vs. Villains. The Heroes tribe eliminated him in HvV some time before the merge, and he didn't have a chance to impact the whole season.
- Whether he was high-profile (especially in your definition) is one thing, but writing and editing an individual article about him is something to debate about. I mean, his significance outside Survivor I think pales in comparison to his Survivor appearances, and I figured there's not much to tell about post-Survivor activities either. Well, I can see majority voting to keep, but numbers may not mean as much as both the arguments and weighing them. George Ho (talk) 05:47, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- It's not "my definition", the definition is clear at WP:LPI which is used by and linked to WP:BLP1E as essential criteria. Your link is outside the range of an individual who has won this high-profile television show. Randy Kryn (talk) 06:01, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Still linking to the essay, aren't you? You can think otherwise about BIO1E, but how "high-profile" the TV show is still wouldn't affect the profile status of this person, regardless of appearance in that TV show. Don't you think? The BIO1E, different from BLP1E, can still apply to high-profile individuals known for only one event, including winners.... more likely because it doesn't say that it is limited to only low-profile ones. Palau and HvV are individual events to me, and he won only Palau and hasn't won any other season since. George Ho (talk) 06:51, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Let's try some reading comprehension here. It is WP:BLP1E that links to the essay to define what low-profile and high-profile individuals are, not me. To downgrade a descriptive essay which is used as criteria for policy seems misleading. Editors continue to use BLP1E without, apparently, reading or understanding it. Randy Kryn (talk) 07:00, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Geez. I don't know what else to say to you... other than, "Thanks for reminding me about BLP1E, but I still wouldn't assume they cited policy without reading it." Since you replied to fuzzy510, why not one of us ping her to await her response? George Ho (talk) 08:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

- As @George Ho pointed out WP:BIO1E is probably more appropriate here. But even then, he doesn't neatly fit in the criteria for either low-profile or high-profile individuals as outlined in that essay. In the case of either BLP1E or BIO1E, however, I notice that nobody has addressed what is my biggest concern - the article is entirely plot summary from their Survivor seasons, and runs well afoul of WP:NOTPLOT. What isn't plot summary is WP:OR. If I were, for sake of discussion, to remove both of these questionable elements from the article, there would be not much beyond "He won Survivor, and participated in a second season." How does that possibly justify an article? -fuzzy510 (talk) 21:19, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Like @George Ho I don’t see participation/winning a game show significant enough to merit a BLP. However, there are people notable for appearing on many shows, and if sourced correctly might deserve a BLP. But this ain’t one of them. If those who are adamant about winners being notable, I suggest they create a RealityTV Task Force and define your own criteria and see if the community agrees. There are stupider projects, so good luck. Artificial Nagger (talk) 21:12, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep As I note in my comment on the AfD for Bob Crowley (Survivor contestant), I've never watched Survivor. However, I think the series is itself sufficiently famous and widely watched, year after year, that each season winner is notable. There shouldn't be a "notability contest" among season winners, but when I see three AfDs in a row for season winners, along with a suggestion in the comments on one of those AfDs that the AfDs for Brian Heidik and Chris Daugherty were "poorly attended", I'm worried that that's where this is going. DavidLeeLambert (talk) 20:20, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- DELETE or redirect per BLP1E. None of the “keep” votes are supported by policy. The rationale they use is OtherStuffExists or Survivor winners are automatically/inherently notable. I don’t need to explain to the closer OtherStuffExists, and AFAIK RealityTV show winners, while may be BLP1E notable don’t cross the threshold into GNG. They’ve got to gain traction outside of their “event”. If someone presents a “keep” !vote that uses actual policy/guidelines I’ll gladly change to keep. Please ping me if you find one. Otherwise I’ll expect the closer’s job should be quite simple.Artificial Nagger (talk) 20:54, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Artificial Nagger, since WP:BLP1E does not apply if the person sought publicity, which this individual did by showing up on the set of Survivor and agreeing to be filmed, that's enough to rate as a high-profile-individual per WP:LPI. He fits the criteria. LPI must be applied, but it's possible that closers who close pages which contain long discussions in a minute or two may have never analyzed that, which is why discussion participants should. Please give those another reading, thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 05:10, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to the Survivor:Palau article. There's really no coverage of them outside the reality shows. To equate winning a reality show with winning the Super bowl is absurd at best. Fails WP:GNG.Onel5969 TT me 00:56, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Passes WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Plenty of secondary RS exist such as [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36] and [37]. The nominator's deletion reasoning is invalid and not set in policy. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 05:03, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Unsure why you used NY Post as an example. It's considered unreliable per WP:NYPOST as of now. Many other articles you exemplified are based on Westman's Palau winnings. As I can see, he planned to spend $1 million for mostly his kids' college educations, but, other than improving the biographical article, I don't see how this info can save the article from being redirected to another destination. So does the 2006 Irish America Magazine article describing his post-Palau activities.
- NY Daily News article says he hadn't been at that point chasing after reality TV "fame", so I doubt Mr. Westman would care about (the fate of) the Wikipedia article about him. Furthermore, the news article itself doesn't cover his HvV appearance very much, despite trivially mentioning it.
- Curiously, I wonder whether you have read and/or reread GNG, particularly the "presumed" part, which mentions and wikilinks WP:NOT. Speaking of WP:NOT, do you believe that the article violates it? Why or why not? George Ho (talk) 06:14, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

- The news article (or rather an interview with Westman that is posing as an article) from Hartford Courant was two years after Palau (2005). As I see, he discussed mostly Palau, he was hired as The Hartford representative, and he made a guest role in The Young and the Restless. I'm unsure, despite being highly detailed (or significantly covered), whether one is enough to make his insurance career more significant than or as significant as his time in Palau. So would his Y&R role. All it would is potentially improve the article, but I'm still uncertain whether detailing his insurance career and adding the guest role in a soap opera can save the article from being redirected to the season page. George Ho (talk) 17:40, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- The guy won a highly publicized show (and with high ratings, most episodes were >20M), returned to the same show several years later, appeared in another television show (albeit as a guest), appeared on specials related to that event (including both direct Survivor shows and TVGuide), appeared on Letterman, was nominated for a Teen’s Choice award (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1798644/awards/), etc etc. I am just not seeing how the combination of reasonably detailed articles isn’t enough to establish notability here, both those cited in the article, and those present elsewhere. I guess my point is, we can quibble over individual sources all we want, but I think that’s losing the forest for the trees…your ultimate argument seems to be that winning a reality show shouldn’t make him notable under WP:BLP1E, but I’m not sure that really works for two reasons…first, I think he falls between WP:BLP1E and regular bio, since while the win is what pushes him over the top, he did have the subsequent appearance on the show; second, I think there’s sufficient sourcing out there for WP:BLP1E.

- As an aside, does anybody have access to TV guide online, there may be a June 5 2005, Vol. 53, Iss. 23, pg. 36, by: Katie Gallagher, "What Women Want..." article that involves or mentions him that should be checked?
- Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:48, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'll rephrase I said before: his role in Palau is the most significant. His other appearances either pale in comparison or don't match, especially the one in Heroes vs Villains. In other words, not as significant as his Palau appearance (and win). Oh, and the page from IMDB is user-generated and considerably unreliable per WP:IMDB. And.... I wonder whether the author of a TV Guide article was the same Palau runner-up (who IMHO performed abysmally in the (jury) finale, i.e. Final Tribal Council).
- Oh, and I checked other sources used in the article. Per WP:RSP#Screen Rant, Screen Rant isn't appropriate for BLP articles. Survivor Hall of Fame isn't independent from Survivor franchise to me; that source is also part-interview (i.e. primary source). Neither is the host Jeff Probst's top ten favorite winners. George Ho (talk) 19:21, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- There is alternate (albeit not contemporaneous) confirmation of the Teen’s Choice award nomination and I’m sure it’s verifiable in print media (this was 2005, not everything is going to be online). https://liverampup.com/entertainment/tom-westman-survivor-married-wife-family-height.html
- I guess I still just don’t see how he doesn’t rise to the level of notable, I mean heck, the guy was on one of the weekly TV Guide covers https://books.google.com/books/about/TV_Guide.html?id=m6yvgvusRXoC and gets mentioned pretty regularly.
- I get that you have sourcing concerns, but I think they’re not insurmountable. And again, I think we can nitpick over each individual source not meeting this policy, or that policy, but I think the shear bulk of evidence here is enough that we should preserve. Jo7hs2 (talk) 20:23, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- As an aside, Screen Rant is not verboten, it’s cautioned…
- “ There is consensus that Screen Rant is a marginally reliable source. It is considered reliable for entertainment-related topics, but should not be used for controversial statements related to living persons.” I would argue you’re interpreting WP:RSP#Screen Rant more strictly than it was intended, notability isn’t what I view the consensus view of “controversial” for RSP. Jo7hs2 (talk) 20:32, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Fair point about Screen Rant. Moving on, I don't know where Live Ramp Up got the info about Teen Choice Awards nomination from, but I can find another source via The Wikipedia Library. (Speaking of Teen Choice, that nomination was Palau-based.) The source uses CBS News article; reliable, but it's based on winning the Palau season. The Uproxx article, also used by Live Ramp Up, is dead, and I couldn't find it on Internet Archive. George Ho (talk) 21:09, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- I really do hear your Wikipedia:BIO1E concerns.
- It’s marginal if any reliable sources cover him as a main or sole focus of coverage of the event initially making him notable, rather than him only in connection with an event or organization. I fully acknowledge that. However, since he was the main focus of several post-win articles, and there were several events associated with the win including the aforementioned nomination, and since there are other events such as a second, full not merely reunion/clip show appearance on Survivor (American TV series), which I acknowledge not all will consider a separate event, I think he squeaks over. BUT the article would still need substantial revision if retained as it currently is partially duplicative of the content in the season article and needs improved sourcing.

- NSUBPOL is a supplement to NPOL; there are parts of it which are very clearly within consensus (eg the presumed notability attached to members of subnational legislatures of unambiguous federal states like USA, Pakistan, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Germany etc) and where there is less certainty (ie the issue has not been tested). Thus, NSUBPOL is meant to be a reference tool, but also one under development. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 07:28, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

- @BoyTheKingCanDance@M.Ashraf333@UtherSRG - can I ask you to read the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Purna Chandra Jamatia, with specific reference to the points which elaborate why the Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) can be considered subnational parliaments. Given this, can you please indicate how you interpret the sourcing differently which has been used to demonstrate the ADCs are subnational parliaments and thus accord presumed notability available via NPOL. Many thanks and regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 01:25, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. ADCs have "less power than states but more than local governments", so they're in a gray area as far as NPOL is concerned, but I'm leaning against notability. The main issue is that state governments have a lot of authority over ADCs: governors (acting on the advice of their ministers) can dissolve councils, annul or suspend acts, and simply deny assent to duly passed bills. Importantly, that power to deny assent isn't just hypothetical: according to this article, there are numerous bills that have been awaiting assent for over a decade, creating the impression "that these autonomous bodies are treated as extensions of the government". There are also "structural arrangements provided in the constitution itself which makes ADCs dependent on the state government", and the councils have only a "paucity of resources" and "solely depend on the state government for grants". And, of course, the ADCs can only legislate within a handful of particular areas. That article concludes by mentioning "the overriding role played by the state governments on many matters", and I think that shows that ADCs are closer to local governments than to subnational legislatures. More generally, making all members of ADCs inherently notable would open up the floodgates to hundreds of people who don't even arguably meet the GNG, and I think WP:WHYN explains why that's a poor idea. Tongchangya thus doesn't meet NPOL, and since he doesn't appear to meet the GNG either, he's not notable, in my view. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:50, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: There is also an open discussion about member of autonomous council. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tuliram Ronghang (2nd nomination). I request all editors that they don't do any vote until they read about Autonomous administrative division. 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙♂️Let's Talk ! 09:28, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify – The supplementary guideline states that politicians in ADCs may have presumed notability, not that they have presumed notability, so general notability should still be established. This article has two sources, one of which is one sentence. In other words, the source is a journalistic stub.
Number | Reference | Remarks | Independent | Significant | Reliable | Secondary |

- Comment I'd like to respond to Extraordinary Writ's !vote. There are all sorts of limits to state/provincial powers in federal states, all sorts of means by which federal authorities may intervene in the decision-making of subnational legislatures, that similar patterns exist with the ADCs and their relationships to the state governments is not by iself an indication that the ADCs lack autonomous legislative power (which to my interpreation is the sine qua non determining NPOL notability at the subnational level). That there are ADC powers that the state (as opposed to national government) has no jurisdiction over, is enough to make the ADCs clearly have legislative power, as distinct from local councils which only possess administrative power. I also disagree that this is a floodgates issue; members of an ADC not found to have more than the most basic information available could be redirected to lists of members of the particlar session of the relevant ADC. For example, in this particular case, I wouldn't oppose a redirect to List of current members of Chakma Autonomous District Council. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 04:53, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

- Comment I tend to lean more towards Extraordinary Writ's comments about the notability of ADCs than Goldsztajn. I do agree with Goldsztajn that lists of members of an ADC are very appropriate. However, the core of Wikipedia is an expectation that there are high-quality reliable sources written about living people. I think the case is clear that nearly all federal and state legislators meet this standard, and for those that may not, there is enough visibility of the government to verify service (as well as being able to track how an individual votes on particular issues). If we were to move beyond national and state/provincial officeholders, we would want more confidence that nearly all office holders for a type of government are likely to have coverage that meets WP:GNG. To that end, I think the standard we judge this AFD is WP:GNG as the community has not decided that ADCs fit under WP:NPOL. --Enos733 (talk) 12:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete per Extraordinary Writ's analysis. Robert McClenon makes a reasonable case for drafitication, and I could accept that outcome. My concern is that this is BLP and I can't accept presumed notability when the sources are so incredibly spare and constitute routine political coverage. No SIGCOV to be found so far on such a minor functionary and presented sources are quite local. IMHO the case for presumption is not met. BusterD (talk) 14:59, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

- Thanks for pointing that out, I count three that seem to be mainly about him with the Wired one the in-depth article: [40], [41], [42]. It is clear that Wired is independent and reputable and Designboom is independent and apparently The online magazine was named one of the top 100 design influencers in the world by Time magazine, (per WP) while VoyageLA seems more like a local city guide but still independent and has an in-depth interview. I think that he just passes WP:GNG but probably not WP:ARTIST according to the criteria laid out there (unless this water art can be considered such a novel concept -- while novel indeed it does not seem to garner much take up or critical reception). In light of this have changed my vote to weak keep. --hroest 15:13, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: This is a BLP with no significant independent reliable sourcing covering the subject. It may be reasonably argued the technique has received some coverage, but I agree with the nominator this article is sourced entirely with trivia and tabloid coverage which does not significantly cover this BLP. VoyageLA is an interview, and so doesn't count as independent sigcov per BLP. Notability isn't inherited from notable associates. I don't think anybody's mentioned this article was created by a SPA User:Anotheraccount who coincidentally uploaded the image too. IMHO this appears to be an autobiography maintenanced by IPs.
