Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:11, 6 December 2023 (UTC)- Strong Delete - The article on Kandis Westmore, while providing information about a United States magistrate judge, does not establish notability beyond the position held. According to WP:USCJN, magistrate judges are not inherently notable, and the subject does not meet the specific notability criteria outlined in WP:JUDGE or the general notability guideline (WP:GNG). The citations provided are primarily related to opinions authored by the subject, which may not be sufficient for establishing notability without significant independent coverage. The use of numerous citations for a couple of opinions also raises concerns about WP:CITEKILL where an excessive number of citations may overwhelm the content and suggest an attempt to assert notability through quantity rather than quality of sources. As such, the article does not appear to meet Wikipedia's notability standards and would be more appropriately covered within the context of a broader article, unless further reliable and independent sources can be found to establish notability.

- Keep: our guideline here is WP:JUDGE, not another deletion discussion. She is a judge with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Although this is not a statewide court, many other individuals in this same position are linked in that article, indicating that Wikipedia has previously determined judges of this court to be notable. Since this article has sources, there is no issue that I can find. Rublamb (talk) 14:57, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- As I already noted to you at Donna Ryu, Walker is a magistrate judge, which is a much lesser role within the judiciary system (handling administrative issues primarily, and not holding trials) and does not meet WP:JUDGE as she has never been a judge on a statewide court. To my knowledge, no other magistrate judges in this district have wikipedia articles, and even if they do, WP:OTHERTHINGSEXIST applies. Let'srun (talk) 15:24, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

User:Let'srun 01:46, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Keep. While magistrate judges are not inherently notable, Sebelius is, due to the combination of being a magistrate judge, having been First Gentleman and having been a failed federal district judge nominee. No one of those items may confer inherent notability, but all three of those in concert should and do. Jarvishunt (talk) 16:00, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 23:27, 29 November 2023 (UTC)- What WP:SIGCOV has the subject received? Just because he has all of those items to his name doesn't give notability on its own. Let'srun (talk) 03:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- I added some WP:SIGCOV -- two citations from The New York Times, no less -- during the Brown v. Board of Education litigation. I'm certainly happy to add more -- there's absolutely other WP:SIGCOV as well, and we all can add it as part of a good faith effort to work to improve the article. One problem is that some of the WP:SIGCOV that Gary Sebelius has received is in articles that currently are behind newspaper paywalls. Jarvishunt (talk) 20:25, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Weak Keep. I'm inclined to agree with Jarvishunt to the extent that multiple almost-but-not-quite inherently notable features can come together to lead to someone being notable themselves. Sebelius was the First Gentleman of a U.S. state (which comes with some notoriety/notability within that state), is the husband of a former U.S. cabinet official, is a magistrate judge, and was involved as a lawyer in the later stages of the famous Brown v. Board of Education case. I don't think any of those features standing alone would confer notability, but put together, he seems to have a close relationship to many clearly notable individuals and events, which I think pushes him just over the line to notability. SeenToBeDone (talk) 00:25, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - Adding on to the above, looking up Gary Sibelius on newspaper archive, he has received a non-trivial amount of coverage. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 02:48, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 10:27, 14 December 2023 (UTC)- Delete- Despite the various roles and associations mentioned, K. Gary Sebelius does not meet the general notability guidelines (WP:GNG) as the coverage does not appear to be significant or in-depth. The positions held, such as magistrate judge and First Gentleman of Kansas, do not inherently confer notability (WP:INHERITORG), and the failed federal district judge nomination, while notable, does not by itself satisfy the criteria for a standalone biographical article. The subject's involvement in the Brown v. Board of Education litigation, although notable, is also not sufficient to establish notability without significant independent coverage (WP:SIGCOV). A redirect to a related topic where he is already mentioned may be appropriate.

- Keep: Our criteria for notability in this instance is WP:JUDGE, not a prior deletion discussion. She is a long-serving judge in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. A significant number of judges serving in this court have a Wikipedia article, demonstrating that the Wikipedia community has decided this is a significant appointment. This article has sources to back its notability. Rublamb (talk) 15:04, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - there appear to be more than passing mentions about her work, in addition to the coverage of the Coalition on Homelessness case (I have added a few sources, more coverage is available); there is coverage of e.g. her decision on rent control for houseboats (KTVU, Nov 2023; East Bay Times, Nov 2023, "In a landmark decision by Chief Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu..."); Judge narrows privacy case against fintech firm Plaid (Reuters, May 2021); Judge gives Biden, Blinken 60 days to respond to Gaza ‘genocide’ claim (SF Chronicle, Nov. 2023, "Ryu, a magistrate appointed by the court’s judges, is assigned to the case, but either side could have her removed and replaced by a presidentially appointed federal judge."). And there is coverage such as "in 2010, U.S. District Court judges in San Francisco appointed Donna Ryu, a civil rights attorney and UC Hastings law professor, as a federal magistrate. No openly gay or lesbian judicial officer had ever served on the court." (SFGate, 2014, with further biographical information about Ryu). Beccaynr (talk) 01:04, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - sources and her accolades show notability DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 16:29, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I think we have to evaluate this with NOTNEWS in mind, and in particular how news discussion of her rulings should be interpreted re: direct coverage of her and how routine it is. It is not unexpected for a magistrate judge's rulings to receive decent local coverage, but that doesn't mean it is encyclopedic info that is DUE in a biography. The importance of her role in particular would need to be discussed substantially for such reports on court cases to be SIGCOV, and I'm not seeing that so far. Simply presiding over a case does not mean the coverage of the case transitively applies to the person, not least because the facts/filings of a case, which are generally the bulk of reported material, are completely independent of the judge's actions.

Comment I am not finding much coverage within the reach of publicly accessible Google Search. I can't really comment on notability. It is a group within a specialized field. Graywalls (talk) 00:06, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
Comment Leaning towards keep on WP:IAR grounds, as this is a somewhat important arbitration institution, not as big as JAMS but certainly known in arbitration circles. But very hard to find sources partly because its name is pretty generic (for example, FINRA has national arbitration and mediation rules). Some sources about subsidiary ClickNSettle that mention NAM:
- William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal, Two Roads Diverged: A Tale of Technology and Alternative Dispute Resolution Dispute Resolution[1] - about a page
- "Law and technology: what does the future hold for ADR?" [2001] ANZRIArbMedr 27; (2001) 20(3) The Arbitrator & Mediator 1 [2] a paragraph on page 19
- Online Dispute Resolution: Global Issues and Australian Standards" [2002] ANZRIArbMedr 20; (2002) 21(2) The Arbitrator & Mediator 21[3] about a paragraph, similar to the Law & Tech article

- Keep on grounds of WP:IAR. I didn't vote earlier as I was hoping to see greater discussion. There is little rationale for deletion beyond strict application of WP:GNG which would not make sense given the pervasiveness of NAM clauses and their real-world notability. This is the kind of situation IAR was designed for.
- I could see a rationale for merging this article with other private arbitral institutions such as:
- American Arbitration Association not well sourced
- Forum (alternative dispute resolution) has proper sourcing because they do credit card disputes which puts them in some disrepute.
- JAMS (organization) looks like it has good sourcing but when you drill down some of those articles are about NAF and others talk about them in limited context, not enough for an article
- Ultimately arbitration doesn't generate a lot of headlines because it's confidential, but that makes it valuable to have Wikipedia articles so people can get some level of understanding of what they are. Oblivy (talk) 07:52, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. I'm unable to locate a single source that comes close to meeting GNG/NCORP criteria, I've looked for analyst reports or any kind of neutral third party articles and I'm unable to locate a single one. Invoking IAR is inappropriate at AfD in circumstances where no arguments have been put forward to justify ignoring the community's guidelines. I'm also not convinced a redirect is appropriate, none of the suggestions appear to be connected with the topic company. A better alternative might be Arbitration in the United States but I'm also unsure if this is connected to the topic company. HighKing++ 11:28, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Keep. Magistrate judges are not inherently notable, but some do rise to the level of notability. This judge was the subject of a "rare public order" that "appeared to be the first time that an order had addressed abusive conduct by a federal judge" under judicial employment dispute resolution rules that had not previously been applied. This means the subject's alleged actions were the focus of scrutiny in an order that has implications for other federal judicial employees in the United States, illustrating a broader level of importance than the "run of the mill magistrate judge" cited in the AfD discussion for the cited comparator. And the conduct was publicly attributed to this specific judge, which is not especially common since judges accused of similar conduct often force the closing of any investigations by resigning. I think these factors push this over the line for notability. SeenToBeDone (talk) 03:11, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Keep: Completely agree with the nom that magistrate judges are not inherently notable, but the misconduct allegations against her have resulted in enough coverage from a multitude of sources for this subject to meet WP:BASIC, such as in the Washington Post (in the article), Bloomberg [[4]] and Reuters [[5]].

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:10, 6 December 2023 (UTC)- weak Keep - Based on the info, John M. Facciola appears to meet the notability criteria for Judges and legal professionals on Wikipedia WP:LEGALBIO. His long-term service as a United States magistrate judge, his prior roles as an Assistant District Attorney and in private practice, and his academic contributions as an adjunct professor and legal scholar all contribute to his notability. Additionally, his written opinions on electronic discovery and related legal matters, along with his recognition by the legal community, further establish his notability within his field. The references cited suggest that there is coverage of Facciola's judicial and academic work in reliable sources, supporting the case for possibly entertaining the Idea of retaining his article on Wikipedia.

- Tito Pao (talk) 14:36, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Chris and Tito Pao, let me share with you the important of our church which you may consider to be important part of the catholic church history in the Philippines.
- 1. The Diocesan Shrine of the Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the ONLY church in the Philippines and in Asia, dedicated to the Five Wounds of Jesus. This is why our Bishop of Paranaque elevate the church from a simple parish into a Diocesan Shrine, because of its unique and special devotion to Jesus Five Sacred Wounds. And as a Shrine our mandate started to little by little to spread this beautiful devotion to different parishes and dioceses in the Philippines. Our Diocesan Shrine is under the Diocese of Paranaque and under the vicariate of the Holy Family | See link(s) for your info.: https://catholink.ph/paranaque/
- 2. Our Shrine is part of the history of Las Pinas, we are the very FIRST diocesan shrine in the City, surprisingly 10 years earlier than the famous Bamboo Organ Chruch in Las Pinas.
- 3. Our 3-brother Stigmatine priests ("the Avenido Brothers") hold the record in the Philippines to be the first 3 brothers (by blood) to be ordained priests on the same day. The missionary works and inspirations brought to our country brings great meaning especially to aspiring young men to be a priest. | see link(s) for your info.: https://aleteia.org/2021/10/14/three-brothers-ordained-priests-on-the-same-day-in-the-philippines
- 4. As a Shrine, our church became one of the pilgrim church in the Philippines. Our church possesses (or hold) the Relic of the "True Cross" one of the only few churches in the Philippines to have it. Even our Bishop Jesse Mercado, DD. recognized it and invite all the faithful to visit our Shrine to venerate the cross because we are the only church in the Diocese of Paranaque to have it. Base on our research there are only 3 churches in the philippines to have it, first is the Manila Cathedral, second our shrine and third is in Monastario de Tarlac (in Region III) northern part of the Philippines)
- Our hope and prayers is that using this platform (wikipedia) we maybe able to spread these information's to different churches in the philippines (and maybe in the world). In concern of self-published, i am willing to give-up my write-ups to potential sponsors or takers to adopt this article. We are also ready to arrange meetings (online or face-to-face) to our parish priest and shrine rector &/or to Superior Delegate - of the Stigmatine in the Philippines to verify and check the authenticity of the write-ups. We are also open that your team and other editors to challenge the write-ups to the chancery of the diff. offices of the bishop of paranaque and manila to verify and check the decrees issued by them to us by the roman catholic church archdiocese of manila (RCAM) and diocese of paranaque (DOP).

Our Church are rich in history and heritage, to name a few, our church is the only church in the Philippines and in Asia which is dedicated to the Five Wounds of Jesus; we are the first Diocesan Shrine in the City of Las Pinas, that gave us the mandate to spread our unique and special devotion to the five wounds of Jesus in the entire Diocese of Paranaque and other dioceses in the Philippines and this is one of the main reasons why we are trying to share this information using the wikipedia platform; we also hold the record to have 3 brothers (by blood) to be ordained priests (Stigmatine Priest) on the same day in the Philippines "the Avenido Brothers and now Fathers" see link(s) https://aleteia.org/2021/10/14/three-brothers-ordained-priests-on-the-same-day-in-the-philippines; our shrine is one of the few churches in the Philippines who hold the splinters pieces of wood of the True Cross of Jesus. We deemed that with this criterias we are worthy to be publish even thru me or thru other editors available in this platform to help us spread our devotion and inspirations that our church/Shrine can contribute to our City and our Country.

Our Diocesan Shrine is under the Diocese of Paranaque and under the vicariate of the Holy Family | See link(s) for your info.: https://catholink.ph/paranaque/
- 2. Our Shrine is part of the history of Las Pinas, we are the very FIRST diocesan shrine in the City, surprisingly 10 years earlier than the famous Bamboo Organ Chruch in Las Pinas.
- 3. Our 3-brother Stigmatine priests ("the Avenido Brothers") hold the record in the Philippines to be the first 3 brothers (by blood) to be ordained priests on the same day. The missionary works and inspirations brought to our country brings great meaning especially to aspiring young men to be a priest. | see link(s) for your info.: https://aleteia.org/2021/10/14/three-brothers-ordained-priests-on-the-same-day-in-the-philippines
- 4. As a Shrine, our church became one of the pilgrim church in the Philippines. Our church possesses (or hold) the Relic of the "True Cross" one of the only few churches in the Philippines to have it. Even our Bishop Jesse Mercado, DD. recognized it and invite all the faithful to visit our Shrine to venerate the cross because we are the only church in the Diocese of Paranaque to have it. Base on our research there are only 3 churches in the philippines to have it, first is the Manila Cathedral, second our shrine and third is in Monastario de Tarlac (in Region III) northern part of the Philippines)
- Our hope and prayers is that using this platform (wikipedia) we maybe able to spread these information's to different churches in the philippines (and maybe in the world). In concern of self-published, i am willing to give-up my write-ups to potential sponsors or takers to adopt this article. We are also ready to arrange meetings (online or face-to-face) to our parish priest and shrine rector &/or to Superior Delegate - of the Stigmatine in the Philippines to verify and check the authenticity of the write-ups. We are also open that your team and other editors to challenge the write-ups to the chancery of the diff. offices of the bishop of paranaque and manila to verify and check the decrees issued by them to us by the roman catholic church archdiocese of manila (RCAM) and diocese of paranaque (DOP).

- Comment I'd redirect or merge to the diocese where it's located; a church built in 1985 isn't a historic structure. Being a mega-church is nothing special as there are hundreds of them around the world. Oaktree b (talk) 20:58, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Agree with the first argument (1985, so not a historic structure) but will beg to disagree with it being a "mega-church". It is a sweeping generalization for what is essentially just a Catholic parish (plus being a Catholic parish, it doesn't fit the definition of a megachurch, which applies to Protestant and evangelical Christian churches.) -- Tito Pao (talk) 06:09, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- The source above is not the best; it has no by-line and is part one of two parts. If that's all we have, it's a rather flimsy !keep. I'd change my vote if we could find more, better, sources about the building. All I can pull up is this [8], which is ok-ish, but still not enough. Oaktree b (talk) 20:59, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

- User-generated content such as personal blogs might not pass muster under Wikipedia's reliable sources guideline (unless it's an official blog, e.g. official blog of an organization like the CBCP), so it's best to avoid citing them.
- Not really sure why the Waze link should also be considered under WP:RS since it may also be counted under WP:UGC.
- The latter two, while they may be considered official sources (they are, after all, taken from the official Vatican website), don't have any information that are directly related to the topic (as I have already mentioned). Like what I said, the Vatican press release about the diocesan bishop's appointment didn't mention the parish, so how exactly does that support the article? --- Tito Pao (talk) 09:04, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - the editor who created this is very new and has other 'Lists of [Nationality] Scientists' that were deleted or draftified from the mainspace. However I don't think an equivalent of this list exists via Science and technology in Germany - but does there need to be? Either way, this article is not worth keeping in its current format. Kazamzam (talk) 12:23, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep for the moment, and encourage merging new entries from List of German scientists. The full List of German scientists is rather unhelpful to readers. By splitting the list into time-periods, and providing very brief indications of what the person did/was, this new list helps readers find relevant articles. Imagine a reader who's interested in major figures of the 18th Century, or interested in astronomy. The List of German scientists is useless to them, but the new list will help them navigate rapidly to 18th C astronomers. Its entries are also blue-linked people. We should encourage this sort of helpful navigation aid. It may, however, be necessary either to rename the list as by historical period, or divide it truly by centuries. Elemimele (talk) 15:01, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. This is so much more useful than List of German scientists that it should outright replace it, honestly. Encyclopedic (bluelinked) entries only, each with an informative blurblet, organized by one of the most likely search criteria (period) - what's not to like? For a listing by subject area, turn to Science and technology in Germany; but the two articles serve different purposes. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:03, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

This article was kept after a "no consensus" AfD almost 3 years ago in February 2021. Since then nothing has changed: the journal is still not indexed in any selective databases and there are no independent sources. In the previous debate several arguments were brought forward to argue in favor of notability, but none was supported by sources, making this a clear fail of WP:NJournals and WP:GNG. There does not appear to be a good merge target. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 09:50, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. Not my area but I think characterising the previous AfD as "no consensus" is a bit misleading; the closing summary by Sandstein was "The result was no consensus. Consensus to not delete, but no consensus whether to keep or to merge to Society for Ecological Restoration. ...". The debate centered around whether indexing in selective databases was necessary. Also, is CAB Abstracts not selective? I had thought they were to some extent at least. If I don't revisit this, then I'd suggest at very least merging to somewhere, though I agree picking a target might be the problem. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:04, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

The article reads: The journal was established in March 2000 as a cooperative effort between the University of Idaho and the USDA Forest Service, with assistance from the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the USDA Agricultural Research Service. A university working with three government agencies created a scientific publication that is widely used. Common sense, its notable. Dream Focus 03:52, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

- I don't think Dream is making an inheritance argument (an essay concerning arguments to avoid during AfD). He is saying it's WP:COMMONSENSE (policy) due to the number of sources that cite the journal, and the journal's pedigree in the academic + government world. Also Espresso Addict gave some sources above, and I linked to a bunch that could be looked into more closely. All this combined makes me think it would be a mistake to delete. If the article is kept, I would make an effort to improve the article with these sources. I will not do so while the AfD is ongoing, because it's so late in the process and so many Merge/Delete votes already a WP:HEY would be very difficult to achieve, and I don't know what high-bar HEY standard people will demand to change their vote (and most people never change their vote regardless). -- GreenC 16:04, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

- Indeed, the second one isn't any use for the article, I just thought it showed holdings of the journal, which does speak somewhat to importance.

"Native Plants Journal"
, I found 47 Native Plants Journal articles had been cited 1,886 times. There are dozens of additional Google Scholar search result pages (although their relevance declines after about 30-40 pages of results). --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 04:07, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: a single researcher with less than 2000 cites would not or only barely qualify for an article. For a journal that has been around as long as this one, 2000 cites frankly is rather pathetic. --Randykitty (talk) 12:59, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
- But we are talking about native plant journals. Not comparing it to eg. Science. There is such a thing as relative size. Wikipedia has room for notable small journals, if they are important within their field. I'm not an expert on native plants journals but we can do some preliminary search engine checks and according to Randy Kyrn below, they found what appears to be evidence this journal has prominence. Your response was "not impressed", OK, well I don't know how to respond to that. Do you have evidence to suggest it is not a prominent native plants journal? -- GreenC 14:08, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- You cannot prove a negative. Once notability is questioned, it has to be shown that there is notability, not the other way around. The closest one can get to "prove" that a journal is not notable is to show that there are no sources meeting GNG and no selective indexing meeting NJournals. --Randykitty (talk) 14:22, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep Not sure if this helps the consensus any - but I'm going to come down on the keep side. As per A.B., NPJ does appear to be a journal with a significant quantity of citations to meet WP:NJOURNALS and therefore deserving of an article. ResonantDistortion 12:18, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

- Question: Any evidence for your assertion that the journal "is an important historical and academic source of literature on its topic"? (Except your personal opinion, of course). --Randykitty (talk) 11:10, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Several things. The Journal, carried by libraries, is published by the University of Wisconsin Press, which doesn't publish just anything. It is not a random or vanity publishing outfit. I also did a search request for "Journals about native plants" to check on other journals about native plants, and found this one continues to have prominence. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:34, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Three things: WP:NOTINHERITED (we regularly delete non-predatory journals from major publishers if they don't meet our notability requirements) and second, forgive me, but I'm not really impressed by the fact that Bing thinks that "Native Plants Journal" is a good match for a query "journals about native plants". And three: library holdings are notoriously unreliable on WorldCat and often completely out of date. Some libraries list journals, even if they don't carry them. So its very difficult to gage what are "significant holdings". --Randykitty (talk) 13:31, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Pointing out that WP:NOTINHERITED, too often used as "a given" in deletion discussions, is an essay. Essays have their place, but not as end-alls or final words. In this case I'm guessing that the inherited notability would be the University of Wisconsin Press which, as mentioned, is not a vanity publisher and, I'm guessing, picks and chooses wisely. The Wikipedia page on the Press mentions their publication of nine journals, Native Plants Journal is one of them (I know, Wikipedia is not a reliable source, but commonsense seems a rule rather than an exception in this case).

- Comment: The closing admin on the recent AfD had suggested a Talk page discussion about possible WP:ATD changes as the next step, but that didn't happen. So trying to pick up that discussion here... Despite some news coverage of the compan'y former chair, it does seem that the subject lacks WP:NCORP notability outside of the former plant's possible consequential pollution and health risk; Eastmain and Star Mississippi had proposed reorientating the article to that topic. The lingering concerns (most recently in the OU coursebook exercise and in the local media coverage of the building of retirement homes there) may be just enough for that. Alternatively, a merge/redirect to Waltham Abbey might be possible, though brownfield sites with possible health concerns are not unusual and the merge could be WP:UNDUE. A 3rd alternative might be a redirect to Baby Bio, though that would lose the trace of the academic references concerning the possible cancer cluster. AllyD (talk) 11:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping @AllyD. I think there's merit to keeping the info, but rather indifferent to whether it's the cancer cluster @Eastmain and I discussed, the Abbey site you reference. Baby Bio seems personally less a fit to me. Star Mississippi 02:15, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The company doesn't pass the notability requirements of NCORP but doesn't need to. The stronger criteria in WP:ORGCRIT are there
to prevent gaming of the rules by marketing and public relations professionals. The guideline, among other things, is meant to address some of the common issues with abusing Wikipedia for advertising and promotion.
As the name Pan Britannica Industries and PBI are no longer in use commercially (PBI Home and Garden was wound up in 2015) coverage in this article cannot benefit it. The AtDs in this case don't sit well in any of the target articles suggested. There's just about enough here for a GNG pass. The company's no longer in operation, so the article is a brief resume of its history with no promo/advertising concern. Therefore, I'm willing to judge it for notability using the GNG as set out under Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Alternate criteria for specific types of organizations and the cancer issue allows it to pass.

- Comment Reference #1 is literally just an entry in a table, contributing nothing towards GNG.

How detailed is the coverage? Simply asserting that GNG is met is not useful for this discussion.-Ljleppan (talk) 09:35, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Source #2 is a collection of articles by various authors and, if my memory serves me right, has separate essays on each translation. Source #3 has a chapter on translations in general, where the Finnish translation is included. In general, details for Finnish is meager compared with other translations. Nevertheless, it is discussed on most, if not all, of the Kural translations–related works. Rasnaboy (talk) 02:42, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- This is much too vague to be useful for this discussion. What does
a chapter on translations in general, where the Finnish translation is included
mean? Is it mentioned once in passing? Listed in a table like in ref #1? As for reference #2, we don't count hypothetical sourcing: someone must verify that it discusses the topic in some detail. You can't just vaguely hand wave towardsmost, if not all, of the Kural translations–related works

- Keep The whole topic of navigational signage and fonts is deep and extensive. Once upon a time there was Johnston (typeface) (London Underground) and then half a century later the huge influence of Transport (typeface), Motorway (typeface) and Rail Alphabet drawn by Margaret Calvert; with similar stories of regimented font use in other lands: DIN 1451 / SNV (typeface) / Trafikkalfabetet. The article/list could benefit from a solid proper introduction at the top, and adding of contextual dates throughout the table (allowing sorting by year). Perhaps the huge font samples swatches on the right could be slimmed down to single lines or actual real world photographs of horizontal signs to give better context to readers.
TL;DR; keep, and expand. —Sladen (talk) 10:01, 23 November 2023 (UTC) - Keep. This list can be improved and serves an educational purpose.--Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 11:15, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Non-notable railway point, with little information found, all of it passing mentions. This is also true for "Jewetta", which was another name this location was known by. A previous AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saco, California) closed as no consensus with only two comments. The article has not been expanded since then. There is really nothing to say about this place, other than that it's another of the low-effort articles based entirely on GNIS entries for "unincorporated communities" in California, all created by the same user in 2009.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography and California. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 20:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Well this turned up "Saco, a station on the Southern Pacific Railroad, two and 8⁄10 miles from Oil Junction" very quickly in the search engines, and then "Jewetta, a siding on the Southern Pacific Railroad above Bakersfield" not long afterwards. So a post office and a railway siding. Ironically, there's far more about Solomon Wright Jewett and his sons Solomon Jewett and Philo D. Jewett in Kern County history books (e.g. Morgan's 1914 History of Kern County) than there is about the barely documented railway siding that was used for their sheep farm. The GNIS importers are writing about the wrong subject, and clearly didn't even have the first clue what the subject was. The Jewett's sheep farm north of Bakersfield is not the actual topic. In theory, this is renameable and refactorable, and expandable as a biography of Solomon Jewett who with his brother turns up in the history books. Uncle G (talk) 21:17, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- You're exactly right when you say the GNIS importers "didn't even have the first clue what the subject was", otherwise they would have written about these early citizens and not about some utterly non-notable rail siding. Can I interpret your answer as support for deletion? If we want to write about Solomon Jewett someone certainly can; there is certainly more to say about him than the railroad stop on his land. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 23:39, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Unless we can connect the dots and find out why (as reported by Gudde) their Jewett railway siding started becoming "sack" in 1900 just before Solomon Jewett's death (q.v.), I'm not sure that this as a redirect is appropriate. I definitely cannot find out more about the railway siding, and if this should redirect anywhere at all it should be to the rail line, which is now marked as a Southern Pacific one, although someone should perhaps find out which one. If we cannot find out which railway line to point to, or don't have it, my view is let's wait until a railway editor comes up with a railway article with a list of freight sidings before having a redirect for "sack".

As mentioned on Wikipedia talk page, there are scores of film critics who are at least as well known as this one who do not have Wikipedia pages. Wikipedia pages for film critics should only exist when it comes to ones like Pauline Kael, Roger Ebert etc.
Also, as Staceyt04 said, "none of the language present connotes any kind of notability. Furthermore, the tone with which this article is written suggests self-promotion. There are references to her current output at Vulture and a Twitter page that, as of this writing, does not exist. 6 of the 23 sources provided are just her writing.

The subject of this article doesn't meet any of the criteria listed at WP:SINGER. I tagged it with a notability tag initially but the tag was removed. A google news search turns up a single article by LA Weekly where two sentences were written about the subject in a "Hottest Artists to Watch in 2023" article. https://www.laweekly.com/hottest-artists-to-watch-in-2023/
Clearly not enough to establish notability. Philipnelson99 (talk) 19:14, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Withdrawn by nominator
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. Philipnelson99|(talk) 19:14, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Look more into the subject. Do not base it on one article. The subject meets the criteria based off of Guideline #5 which states: "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)."
- The subject is signed to EMPIRE Distribution, whom acts as a major and independent record label (look into this as well). The subject has released two or more albums, fulfilling the guideline of #5 and to be noted, EMPIRE Distribution's roster consists of highly rated names that you would know of.
- Further more, EMPIRE Distribution promotes their artists very well with promotion and very adequate marketing. LAWeekly's Wikipedia states "The paper covers Los Angeles music, arts, film, theater, culture, concerts, and events." They are very notable but there is no payola so a "script" isn't being placed out there. They write what they feel but claiming a few short words discredits the request for notability is inadequate and I choose to appeal it on the grounds that the subject has in fact enough to prove notability.
- If felt that it only meets half (50/50) then I would be satisfied and would concede with it remaining a stub and it be promptly removed from "requests of deletion" with the sticker being removed from the top of the article, if both parties concede for it to remain a stub article.
- Thank you. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 19:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

- And the subject's song was not only voted to be chosen for LAWeekly coverage but the subject's song was also voted to be featured on LAWeekly's Hottest Hits of 2023 playlist on Spotify. That more than proves notability, is LAWeekly not a reputable source anymore? I contest the ruling. There are 12 cited sources for the subject, there is sufficient evidence and proof that the subject is notable enough for an acceptance of a Wikipedia article or a continuance of a stub article. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 19:43, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- If guideline #5 is accepted for notability but there is still that sliver of doubt that puts it on the fence then the stub article will be an efficient solution. The stub Wikipedia definition states: "A stub is an article that, although lacking the breadth of coverage expected from an encyclopedia, provides some useful information and is capable of expansion."
- In a nutshell, the subject may lack coverage but useful information has been given and is capable of expansion. There will be an acceptance on our end of a stub tag has to be placed on the article. That is fine.
- It states: "Once a stub has been properly expanded and becomes a larger article, any editor may remove its stub template."
- Possible Solution: The subject can keep their page as a stub article instead of an article of creation, the tag for deletion can be removed from the top but the tag for it being a stub article stays, and the subject gain more notability from the Guidelines in order to appease enough to have expansion granted and eventually its stub template be removed and reviewed for an article of creation, but with only enough sufficient evidence and proof towards the guidelines.
- How does this solution sound? Bunkytrap34 (talk) 20:09, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Are you editing on behalf of Icetre? Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:10, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Bunkytrap34 (talk) 20:18, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Okay, I withdrew my nomination. The reason I asked about you editing on behalf of the article is because you said something would "be fine on our end". that doesn't change the validity of the #5 claim that you pointed out, hence my withdrawal of the deletion nomination. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:25, 22 November 2023 (UTC)- Ah I completely understand about the "be fine on our end" part. I do a lot of writing and research but I get busy often so I have a friend on stand by to help with extra research if I can't get around to any of it due to a schedule conflict so that's who I was co-referencing when I said that phrase. You know how that can be when time gets away from you. and in light of the nomination withdraw, thank you very much for the re-consideration on the situation. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 20:43, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Is there any way to close the AFD for Icetre out? An auto-bot re-marked it and the AFD tag appeared on the top of the Wikipedia so it went back into rotation on your original ruling except others were wanting to void it even though you made your decision to withdraw the nomination. If we can close out the AFD for the subject then just let me know. Please and thank you. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 02:01, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- I've actually decided to let this sit and I've retracted my withdrawal. comments from @duffbeerforme below are the reason for my retraction. It's also not a good idea to remove AfD templates until someone closes the AfD which I did not do, I merely withdrew my nomination. Philipnelson99 (talk) 02:54, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- I was admittedly unclear about the AFD templates so I will take that as a learning lesson as I did not know that before hand about the withdraw. There is no problem with that. As far as @Duffbeerforme I have made a very strong and well written argument as to why EMPIRE is considered a record label. A logical defense for EMPIRE has been provided and unless @Duffbeerforme can provide sufficient evidence that rules against EMPIRE as a record label.
- and to be clear he is stating that its one or the other, not both and I am stating the case that it is both but operates separately in operates entities.
- There was a legal issue between the show Empire that aired on FOX and Empire Distribution. One of the biggest issues was who gained control over "Empire Records" since EMPIRE is a record label their artists were signed to EMPIRE Records but FOX had Empire Records for their TV show and the result was FOX proved to be the winner which resulted in EMPIRE dropping "Records" from EMPIRE Records. From there they rebranded as Empire Distribution, Records and Publishing Inc.
- This is solid proof that EMPIRE fits under the record label stature of Guideline #5. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 03:13, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

- False. Here is cited information by Universal Music Group stating that EMPIRE is a record label. For the record, on Guideline #5, when you click on the "major record label" section, Universal Music Group is one of the record labels that appear. I have bolded the words that speak evidence to my case that EMPIRE is not only a "distribution company" but in fact an independent label and valid for Guideline #5.
- Here is the article
- https://www.universalmusic.com/universal-music-group-empire-form-strategic-distribution-agreement/
- SANTA MONICA, April 25, 2018 — Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, today announced a multi-year global agreement with EMPIRE, the San Francisco-based independent music company founded by Ghazi Shami, to provide strategic distribution services to UMG’s labels and artists to complement UMG’s existing global distribution network.
- Under the agreement, UMG and EMPIRE will work together on select artist projects from UMG’s labels that will benefit from EMPIRE’s unique approach to distribution, digital sales, promotion and marketing.

- Date: April 25, 2018
- A distribution company only would handle distribution, they do not handle promotion or marketing as stated above. Further more, the section where it says "label services" can be argued that promotion and marketing are two fundamental aspects needed and necessary in terms of "label services." It is also repeatedly stated that it is independent while acting as a music company, record label, distributor, and publishing. I argue that Guideline #5 is still valid as EMPIRE is a record label and that distribution does not prevent it from being a record label the distribution only further adds onto the record label's resources but it does not make it solely a distribution company.

- Also I cite the Wikipedia definition of "record label"
- A record label, or record company, or simply records, is a brand or trademark of music recordingsand music videos, or the company that owns it. Sometimes, a record label is also a publishingcompany that manages such brands and trademarks, coordinates the production, manufacture, distribution, marketing, promotion, and enforcement of copyright for sound recordings and music videos, while also conducting talent scouting and development of new artists, and maintaining contracts with recording artists and their managers. The term "record label" derives from the circular label in the center of a vinyl record which prominently displays the manufacturer's name, along with other information.
- Distribution is defined as this:
- Distribution is the process of making a product or service available for the consumer or business user who needs it, and a distributor is a business involved in the distribution stage of the value chain. Distribution can be done directly by the producer or service provider or by using indirect channels with distributors or intermediaries. Distribution (or place) is one of the four elements of the marketing mix: the other three elements being product, pricing, and promotion.
- Distribution only makes up one of the four elements of the marketing mix while as product, pricing, and promotion is under the record labels' umbrella.
- Distributors do not make the price, they simply distribute the product.
- Distributors only distribute a product if they have said product, they have no involvement otherwise with creation of said product.
- Distributors do not handle promotion, even if a product is distributed to a special event they are not within the knowledge or have the power to change the distribution destination otherwise that would be considered a conflict of interest and would justify criminal charges.
- EMPIRE is considered through technicality a record label based on evidence that it can provide 3 of the marketing mix while as a distribution company can only provide 1 of the marketing mix.
- I rest my case. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 01:47, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- and to cite from EMPIRE's Wikipedia:
- "they have distributed and/or are still distributing artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Problem, Snoop Dogg, and Crooked I. They've also been involved in New York with releases from Fat Joe, Styles P, Cam'ron, and Busta Rhymes. On the R&B side, they have signed artists such as Eric Bellinger, Jacquees, Jesse Boykins III, Jonn Hart, and Lyrica Anderson."
- These are high name acts that you may or may not have heard of. Those are artists who were signed by EMPIRE to their record label while as other artists were simply distributed but not signed to the label itself. Those R&B artists who were signed were signed under a recording contract, which constitutes and adds weight to the claim that EMPIRE is also a record label. If they had sign a distribution deal then they would be under the "they have distributed and/or are still distributing artists such as" section. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 02:18, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, so looking into to it. I don't think you can find a source that says Icetre was actually signed to EMPIRE. And the albums on the page don't appear to published by EMPIRE at all. Discogs isn't a valid source for that info and neither is MusicBrainz. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:19, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- The validity of EMPIRE has been established, which is good. The subjects's paper trail of EMPIRE is within the licensing. Apple Music and Spotify do not provide EMPIRE's title but Youtube has the records and further evidence. Youtube indexes Youtube Music to their Youtube descriptions which shows that Icetre's music is under the EMPIRE record label.
- Here is a cited example:
- Icetre - House Party
- The description goes as follows: Provided to YouTube by EMPIRE Distribution
- House Party · Icetre · Miscellaneous House Party (feat. Miscellaneous) ℗ 2017 Blazington Music Group Released on: 2017-10-20 Auto-generated by YouTube.
- This version of
- House Party
- says:
- EMPIRE (on behalf of Blazington Music Group); BMI - Broadcast Music Inc., UMPG Publishing... This is viewable in the description and scrolled down to the licenses section on the Youtube app .
- All 3 albums of the subjects read "Provided to YouTube by EMPIRE Distribution"
- Pisces Gold 2.0
- 28
- Slime To Tha 5
- and the subjects latest song as of 6 months ago shows the same "Provided to YouTube by EMPIRE Distribution" description on the video
- Here is the song
- Old School (2004)
- This is irrefutable proof that the subject is a legitimate artist with EMPIRE.
- Bunkytrap34 (talk) 03:47, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- That still doesn't tell me if the albums were on the label, simply that a distribution company provided the info and you're running into the problem @Duffbeerforme pointed out. The evidence you've provided doesn't meet WP:SINGER. Philipnelson99 (talk) 04:01, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- The site https://empire.empi.re does not have a roster for any artists, their roster list is on Wikipedia. EMPIRE has the subject under them and the subject has a record label underneath EMPIRE, Blazington Music Group. On the subject's album 28, on Youtube the licensing says "EMPIRE (on behalf of Blazington Music Group)." The subject is an artist with EMPIRE and has their own faction under EMPIRE, the Blazington Music Group. This is why it is says "EMPIRE (on behalf of Blazington Music Group)." Bunkytrap34 (talk) 04:29, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- The evidence I provided proves sufficient enough for Guideline #5 which is the subject has released two or more albums on a major record label or an independent record label. Licensing data exists and shows that the subject's music listed in their Wikipedia aligns correctly with Catalog Numbers, UPC and ISRC codes that come from the EMPIRE catalog. The catalog numbers begin with ED which is short for EMPIRE Distribution. The subject's was signed, began a record label underneath EMPIRE, and their music is distributed under Blazington Music Group but released under EMPIRE.
- Evidence has been given and shown that the subject has legitimately released two or more albums under a major record label or an independent record label. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 05:49, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Have you had time to think everything through and consider the evidence provided? There would be satisfaction with the original solution of the subject's Wikipedia remaining a stub but for the stub tag to be removed the subject has to provide necessary information in the future for expansion in order for a larger article to be created. Also Happy Thanksgiving I hope you have a great one @Philipnelson99 Bunkytrap34 (talk) 20:41, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- I have and I strongly favor deletion. This person does not come close to meeting WP:SINGER and your walls of text have done nothing to tell me if those records were actually on the EMPIRE label. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:44, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- So I have consulted with the support team at EMPIRE about this matter and they informed me that they are willing to provide screenshots of royalties and earnings within their own database with the UPC codes of the records that were mentioned so that can provide the necessary information that the subject is indeed with EMPIRE. I would not be providing large amounts of information if I did not believe that the subject has met a guideline for acceptance.
- There is an issue
- You initially said that the subject met Guideline #5, then the legitimacy of the record label was challenged, I proved the legitimacy of the record label, then the legitimacy of the subject being on the record label was challenge, I am in the middle of proving the legitimacy of this but if the legitimacy is proven then the subject meets Guideline #5 which is they have released two or more albums on a major or independent record label.
- Under your same terms its about proving legitimacy of Guideline #5 I vote that the rules stay that way to prove there is no bias or conflict of interest. This should be fair for all parties considered. We should not be moving the goal post. That is not playing fair and I feel that would almost violate some sort of rules for the editors. Let's do this fair.
- If the legitimacy can be proven then under fairness the subject's Wikipedia stays under Guideline #5. Even @Duffbeerforme's initial issue was whether Guideline #5 was valid for EMPIRE. I proved that it was so that was satisfactory evidence in all technicalities. The legitimacy of proving the subject's records being released on EMPIRE is underway but if that can be proven then I feel that by the fairness of the Wikipedia community that it should be valid for the subject to retain and keep their Wikipedia stub. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 21:04, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Final comment from User:Philipnelson99: You said before that the EMPIRE site doesn't have a roster for artists but they do have pages for individual releases. If Icetre is on the label it would be on Empire's site and I've confirmed his most recent albums is not listed there. Furthermore, iTunes even has an EMPIRE records page which Icetre isn't on.[16]
- It's clear that all of your claims above do not show that the records above are on the EMPIRE record label, and aside from the obviously unmet record label claim, there is no evidence that Icetre meets the criteria outlined in WP:SINGER.
- A comment posted by the artist on Genius (company) claims that EMPIRE and Blazington Records are connected and have been since 2014[17], but it still appears that Icetre's records are published by Blazington not empire. Furthermore, the artist published content on WP:GENIUS is WP:BLPSELFPUB and thus completely unreliable. Same goes for anything published on Blazington Music's socials given their apparent ties to Icetre. Philipnelson99 (talk) 01:22, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- This is what I mean by moving the goal post. There is clear evidence that the subject's music was released under the EMPIRE label with the evidence cited but you are making the claim that if it is not done a specific way then it does not count. A second or third opinion is definitely needed for this. I feel like you are being biased with the subject and therefore unfair.
- The subject legitimately released the music on EMPIRE and evidence was provided that it was released but you are requiring extra steps that once proven then require more extra steps. It was proven the subject was on the label, then it was proven EMPIRE was a record label, then it was proven that the subject's music was released under EMPIRE on YouTube, and now you are requiring the release be on the website and iTunes, how many times are you going to move the goal post?
- I feel like the community needs to be apart of this decision because I feel there is clear bias from you @Philipnelson99 Bunkytrap34 (talk) 01:44, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- I have and I strongly favor deletion. This person does not come close to meeting WP:SINGER and your walls of text have done nothing to tell me if those records were actually on the EMPIRE label. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:44, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

- Question for @Bunkytrap34, can you 100% without a doubt proved he is signed to EMPIRE and that the albums on the page were released on the EMPIRE label? I'm looking at the iTunes pages and see no mention of EMPIRE in the copyright section. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:25, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes I can, please refer to the reply that I had just posted a moment ago. Spotify and Apple Music have seemingly hidden the data for many artists while only providing sometimes just a single label name but not the main record label but Youtube has the information including licensing information which helps provides further evidence. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 03:52, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- On the SoundExchange website https://isrc.soundexchange.com/?tab=%22simple%22&artistName=%22icetre%22¤tPage=4&showReleases=true, the subject's music is listed along with the ISRC code and the matches to the songs.
- EMPIRE signed the subject and with the creation of the subject's record label there was no necessary need for EMPIRE to be listed if the subject was already underneath the record label. The phrase "hat on a hat" applies here. This is why the subject's label says "Blazington Music Group". There was no necessary need to put both as the subject already releases music under the EMPIRE record label but underneath the subject's record label Blazington Music Group.
- This is why the Youtube data reads the way it does versus the way it reads on iTunes and Spotify.
- The subject is legitimately an artist with EMPIRE. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 05:00, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes here is the evidence.
- I can you 100% without a doubt prove the subject is signed to EMPIRE and that the albums on the page were released on the EMPIRE label
- On the mobile version of Youtube, the subject's releases "28", "Pisces Gold 2.0", and "Slime To Tha 5" are properly licensed and since the subject has their own record label, Blazington Music Group, underneath EMPIRE it becomes recorded on the licensing information.
- I cite that the information says under "LICENSES"
- "EMPIRE (on behalf of Blazington Music Group)
- Licensing information comes from the record label itself, not distribution.
- This is solid evidence that the releases are under EMPIRE otherwise it would not show EMPIRE on the licensing information. Also evidence of releases under EMPIRE is that it says on behalf of Blazington Music Group but if it was distributed through Blazington Music Group then it would say Distributed by Blazington Music Group.
- I argue that this is solid and concrete evidence that the releases were released under EMPIRE and that the subject satisfies the original ruling of whether the subject meets Guideline #5 or not.

- My bad I did not mean to make it seem like canvassing, only tagged everyone involved just to see how everyone felt about the evidence provided.
- But I think the "EMPIRE (on behalf of Blazington Music Group) proof is solid for a case that the subject is under and has released said albums under EMPIRE and that the subject is fit for a stay of stub article due to fulfilling the Guideline #5.
- Is this satisfactory enough for you to withdraw your nomination? I hate that I am keeping you online back and forth with the matter of this subject. I hope you and I can get this taken care of and we can close out the article for deletion for Thanksgiving.
- Please don't tag us all. That's completely unnecessary and arguably WP:CANVASSING. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:47, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, so looking into to it. I don't think you can find a source that says Icetre was actually signed to EMPIRE. And the albums on the page don't appear to published by EMPIRE at all. Discogs isn't a valid source for that info and neither is MusicBrainz. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:19, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- No, I feel this deletion discussion should continue and more opinions should be considered. I understand you want it to be over but that's not how this process works. Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:55, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay that is no problem. The solid 100% without a doubt evidence is the response that has everyone tagged in it. I had a feeling that there would be other opinions needed and so that's why I tagged everyone in there so they could see it for themselves and draw an unbiased decision based on the evidence I provided and not because they were swayed by your opinion. All opinions are welcome so it will be better to get the opinions from others on the cited evidence for acceptance under Guideline #5.
- I feel as if the evidence is concrete. I noticed that you did not mention anything further about the subject so maybe there was satisfactory enough evidence to suffice but that further opinions would be needed. Something as a community vote if you will.
- I do not mind if the subject has to have their stub article reviewed by the community in order to draw a final conclusion on if it fulfills Guideline #5. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 23:06, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 22:33, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment so the nominator, Philipnelson99, said they were withdrawing (the withdraw itself was withdrawn as I was writing this comment) the nom but didn't close the discussion (and no one else did); afterwards extensive discussion occurred here instead of the article talk page. A editor has since suggested deletion so it feels a bit iffy to speedily close based on my reading of WP:Articles for deletion#Procedure for non-administrator close (nominator withdrawal). But, I am open to other ideas/not saying my interpretation is definitive saying that so some attention will be paid. Thanks. (this was written while the withdraw was still active but leaving it mostly as-is.) Skynxnex (talk) 02:58, 23 November 2023 (UTC) 03:00, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Skynxnex, my withdrawal was on the basis that someone else voted for deletion. Sorry if I inadvertently broke the process. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:01, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Philipnelson99 I didn't mean to imply you did anything incorrect, just that we were in a slightly unusual situation compared to other AfDs I've seen. Since the discussion remained open, I think you're fine with deciding to not withdraw the nomination. In the future, if you do decide to withdraw a nomination, feel free to close it as well assuming it meets the criteria listed at the link I shared. (For example, I think the discussion that continued was reason enough to not close it.) Skynxnex (talk) 03:04, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Good, I read the policy but was unsure if closing a discussion which I brought was a good idea given that only myself and the page creator had commented here. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:06, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- There was the issue with the original AFD not being closed out. I mistakenly removed the tag on the thought that that's what would close out the AFD I did not know it had to be closed out by the nominator. This resulted in a second discussion based around the record label the subject is currently with. While this is great for diligence I feel as if the case that I made in defense of said record label was adequate enough to satisfy any doubts.
- I have used a lot of proof and cited information for the case so I hope everyone involved thoroughly reads the evidence based around the second discussion and the record label's authenticity.
- Thank you. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 03:19, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

- Further to my delete comment. Wikipedia is not a free promotional platform for people with a obvious conflict of interest, looking at you Stephen Best, your claim otherwise is not even remotely close to being believable. Stick to other platforms where there is a big push. Search finds PR on sites like a bombardment at Medium by the same author (google icetre stephen best) such as crap like this but Medium is not a reliable source. Lacks independent coverage from reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 15:41, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- The discussion about COI in regards to this subject and Philip is right here but you are on the wrong page. It is under the COI tag. I have proven there is no COI and I have proven that the subject is on EMPIRE. As Philip stated, writing abut the article subject multiple times is not a COI in and of itself. This entire nomination is whether it meets Guideline #5, so not to be mean but lets stay on subject here. We are not discussing any other claims of this and or that, it all stays on the subject of whether Guideline #5 is met. We are not discussing Guideline #1 which is reliable sources and independent coverage we are discussing Guideline #5 and it also states "Note that regardless of what notability criterion is being claimed, the claim must be properly verified by reliable sources independent of the subject's own self-published promotional materials." and the claim that the subject is an artist on EMPIRE is found within reliable and reputable sources.
- Here is the claim for the subject being on the record label on TheOrg: https://theorg.com/org/empire-distribution/org-chart/icetre
- And it is not the only site that claims the subject as an artist with EMPIRE that is independent from the subject and verifiable
- Here is the debate on COI raised by Philip, the original nominator
- COI possibility[edit source]
- After reading through the page creator's (User:Bunkytrap34) user page, I've determined there is a high likelihood of a conflict of interest. I see that the user says they are "Stephen Best" and they have written about the article subject multiple times (that's not a COI in and of itself).
- Furthermore, the apparent record label the artist owns and operates has "Stephen Best" listed as the person who wrote the artist biography on several associated platforms.[1] (one of the platforms is not linked due to it being on the spam blacklist)
- I'm extremely concerned about an undisclosed COI, especially since I was told there was no COI before. Additionally, I found that this account had uploaded a photo to Commons that appears to be of IceTre Media:IceTre in 2020.jpg and the description says
The music video for IceTre’s song “Understand Me” was filmed in 2020. Behind the scenes footage and photo shoots were to be captured as requested on the set of the music video. A team of videographers, press, and social media managers were present for correct handling of the project at hand.
- This file is labeled as Bunkytrap34's own work.
- So, User:Bunkytrap34, could you explain this? I don't mean to be accusatory but paid editing and conflicts of interest are very important issues for Wikipedia. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:48, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello there, I am able to provide explanations:
- Yes I have written about the article subject multiple times as that's not a COI in and of itself as you stated.
- The biography I wrote was well received so the subject took it upon themselves to include it and properly cited with "Stephen Best." This is why the name is listed as the person who wrote the artist biography on several associated platforms (I am not aware of all several.) But I am happy that they kept the name out of respect for the person who wrote it. As far as writing for the subject's record label I am not currently employed or on their payroll. I cannot pass that along to the subject to change it but I am glad I could clear that part up that I am not a writer under their label but merely wrote the biography used.
- Yes I uploaded the image but it is not my own work. Admittedly I tried to upload it the other way but it would not display the photo once it was uploaded. It did work when It was uploaded under own work so that is my bad for the confusion. I did not take the photo and that is why I phrased everything the way I did from an editors perspective since I wasn't there. I had mentioned that "Behind the scenes footage and photo shoots were to be captured as requested on the set of the music video." but I wasn't there to witness whether it was captured as requested or not.
- Bunkytrap34 (talk) 07:32, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- One thing I did notice is that the biography I wrote has been reworded a few different times and not all biographies are an exact match on some of these platforms. I would most likely conclude that the subject's biography was edited with different information or updated with new information but the original that I wrote was still the backbone of the biography hence why the name "Stephen Best" was still included.
- and now that I think of it, with that many biographies floating around and my name attached with them I can see how someone even at EMPIRE could draw a conclusion that I write for the subject's record label when in fact I wrote one biography and its been edited and posted multiple times in relation to the subject. I think that is honestly what we are dealing with here. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 07:37, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello there, I am able to provide explanations:
- That was my reply on the COI page.
- Bunkytrap34 (talk) 17:20, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Duffbeerforme Have you taken a chance to review my response?
- Honestly I think you both are taking this personal.
- for example: Your first issue was whether or not EMPIRE was a record label or not.
- That was proven it was.
- Now its whether there is a COI or not.
- Evidence was provided about this but what else are you going to come up with after the COI or are you going to be satisfied? That's why it seems like it is personal because every time something has enough evidence to hold up then there is something else that has to become satisfied. I have enough evidence for a solid case for Guideline #5 and each time it is shown clear and concrete evidence then @Philipnelson99 simply denies it or moves the goal post and says it needs to be "his way or the highway." He said "can you prove 100% without a doubt that the subject's releases were through EMPIRE?" and I provided sufficient evidence but I can clearly show that he is goal post moving because he said "well those releases are not on the website or on the EMPIRE iTunes page." That is goal post moving and he does not want to admit it because I feel like he is taking this personally. He could say "well even though it shows he released it on the label it needs to be proven to me with a video that someone took of the subject signing the paperwork with the EMPIRE president in the photo as well." This is extreme and shows that there is never going to be satisfactory evidence for the editor due to goal post moving.
- I feel like this is "taking it personal" especially where as I showed the subject's releases were in fact released through EMPIRE then Philip simply says "it needs to be on the website or it does not count." It is a clear abuse of power to use your own singular thought as the "only" option which I think is why he wanted to keep the discussion opened. The subject's music on EMPIRE can be proven by licensing and record label data on the websites, the subject's music does not need to be on the very front page of the EMPIRE website co-signed by the EMPIRE president himself in order for this claim of the subject's music releasing through EMPIRE to be met.
- We need others to chime in on this entire discussion. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 17:52, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- You cite that page from The Org, but it says at the top that it's an unverified company.[18] That site is not enough to verify that Icetre is truly on the record label. I'm not "moving the goal posts" as this process is necessary to determine a subject's notability. Regardless of my initial argument, the argument @Duffbeerforme raised is an important one because you used the record label criteria as the claim to notability. If you cannot verify that he is on the empire record label, then you must use the other criteria specified in WP:SINGER.
- In order to verify Icetre as being on the EMPIRE record label you must provide a verifiable source and all of the sources you have provided are questionable or self-published at best.
- Furthermore, this is not personal. This is simply a discussion to determine if an article should remain on Wikipedia based on the notability guidelines agreed upon by consensus. I'm sorry if my comments have appeared as personal attacks. Philipnelson99 (talk) 05:20, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- After taking time to rebuild I wanted to bring up a few things
- If the subject signs to EMPIRE, creates a record label while on EMPIRE, does that technically mean that he is still on EMPIRE or does that mean he is no longer on EMPIRE? and does this mean the subject's created record label is under EMPIRE?
- If the answer is "yes he is still technically on EMPIRE" and that "yes it means the subject's created record label is under EMPIRE" then all releases under the subject's created record label that was created under EMPIRE would technically still be released under EMPIRE. It could not be released solely on the subject's created record label because it was specifically created whilst the subject was already under EMPIRE.
- It's a bit of a tricky situation in the first place from what I've gathered: The subject releases music on the EMPIRE record label through the record label they created while on the EMPIRE record label but the subject's releases say the subject's record label name. If the subject wanted to solely have "EMPIRE" as the record label name on Apple and Spotify then the subject would have to unfortunately cancel out their created record label and have it wiped from the EMPIRE system. On Youtube it says "EMPIRE (On behalf of Blazington Music Group" because it is still on the EMPIRE record label but they included the subject's record label for posterity. Even I can see possible licensing issues if it only said EMPIRE instead of the subject's record label included.
- If the answer is yes to the question of if the subject created a record label under EMPIRE is that record label is still under EMPIRE then I follow up with this next piece of evidence from SoundExchange. Here is the definition: SoundExchange is an American non-profit collective rights management organization founded in 2003. It is the sole organization designated by the U.S. Congress to collect and distribute digital performance royalties for sound recordings. It pays featured and non-featured artists and master rights owners for the non-interactive use of sound recordings under the statutory licenses set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 112 and 17 U.S.C. § 114.
- SoundExchange is a verifiable source from the U.S. Congress and is not self published. You mentioned my sources were questionable or self published at best. The definition: Questionable sources are those that have a poor reputation for checking the facts, lack meaningful editorial oversight, or have an apparent conflict of interest. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views widely considered by other sources to be promotional, extremist, or relying heavily on unsubstantiated gossip, rumor, or personal opinion. Questionable sources should be used only as sources for material on themselves, such as in articles about themselves; see below. They are not suitable sources for contentious claims about others. Predatory open access journals are considered questionable due to the absence of quality control in the peer-review process... SoundExchange has a very high reputation for checking proper facts (for example they may say "does this artist's song belong to this artist? and then do their fact checking from there". SoundExchange has very meaningful editorial oversight with no conflict of interest as the U.S. Congress would be in extreme violation of such things. SoundExchange does not rely on promotional content, extremist content, heavily unsubstantiated gossip, rumor, or personal opinion. Predatory open access does not apply in this case.
- SoundExchange has the subject's music and data available here. The three albums in question are "Pisces Gold 2.0", "28", and "Slime To Tha 5", all information including Artist, Title, Version, Year, Duration, ISRC, Release, Release Label, Release Date, Release Artist, and UPC are displayed once the "Show Releases" switch is toggled on.
- If the answer is yes to the question of if the subject created a record label under EMPIRE is that record label is still under EMPIRE then I say that SoundExchange is a verifiable source and non self published source showing that the two or more album releases by the subject were under EMPIRE and the subject meets Guideline #5.
- The ISRC search feature of SoundExchange is still apart of the SoundExchange website.

- and I wanted to add a little bit more context to my first question.
- If the subject signs to EMPIRE, granted to create a record label while on EMPIRE and does not leave EMPIRE and continues releasing music, does that mean that he is still on EMPIRE when he releases music or does that mean he is no longer on EMPIRE when he releases music?
- If EMPIRE allows someone to create a record label under EMPIRE does that mean the subject's record label's releases are ultimately under EMPIRE since the subject's record label is under EMPIRE and the subject themselves are under EMPIRE?

- I forgot to include the SoundExchange link I mentioned earlier. Here it is:
- https://isrc.soundexchange.com/?tab=%22advanced%22&artistName=%22icetre%22&fileType=%22all+file+types%22&showReleases=true Bunkytrap34 (talk) 21:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see anything on SoundExchange's page indicating a connection to EMPIRE. Blazington Music Group claims they are affiliated with EMPIRE but I have yet to see a reliable source that says this is the case. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:40, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- So the connections behind this is that SoundExchange shows the albums were in fact from Blazington Music Group and it shows the dates when they were released. YouTube shows the connection between Blazington Music Group and EMPIRE as their licensing data shows on the videos. Manipulation of licensing data is not able to be done even when uploading videos to Youtube. Licensing data is handled by Youtube and other parties involved (EMPIRE in this case). I checked and there is the subject's Youtube and there is a topic version of the Youtube. The licensing data displays on the subject's Youtube information but since licensing data cannot be manipulated then that does not go against a conflict of interest nor is licensing data "self published". The licensing information is in an entirely separate section that is unable to be edited by the general public. In this case only Youtube and EMPIRE have access.
- I am merely using Youtube as extension of proof between the two. In this case, Licensing data should count to prove the connection. If the president comes out with an official statement on Youtube, does Youtube's reputation enough to say that the video is "invalid"? Since licensing data is across multiple sites it would be silly to say it doesn't count on Youtube but counts on Apple Music.
- I have an idea, I want you to answer a question for me, 100% without a doubt but if Blazington Music Group was not under EMPIRE then how could it possibly say "EMPIRE (on behalf of Blazington Music Group"
- and mind you if it was distributed by Blazington Music Group then it would say "Distributed by Blazington Music Group" and if it was distributed by EMPIRE then it would say "Distributed by EMPIRE"
- so can you 100% without a doubt say that EMPIRE and Blazington Music Group have no connection and can you 100% without a doubt explain why the licensing data says those two names together?
- If "EMPIRE (on behalf of Blazington Music Group" is not a connection to EMPIRE then I don't know what is. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 22:19, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- SoundExchange acts as the reliable source and Youtube acts as the supporting evidence. Licensing data cannot be manipulated and UPC and ISRC codes. so the supporting evidence should still count and not be thrown out so it can support the claim that Blazington Music Group has the connection to EMPIRE.
- "EMPIRE (on behalf of Blazington Music Group" shows a direct connection and since the licensing data is in a section that cannot be manipulated and is directly supplied by Youtube, Blazington Music Group, and EMPIRE themselves, It should be counted as legitimate. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 22:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- This is my last comment here. I don't believe the youtube video description is enough justification that this musician is on the record label, and thus the notability guidelines aren't met in my opinion. Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:44, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- So I am uploading a video to Flickr to cite. The subject's manager got ahold of me via email and sent a screen recording from inside the subject's login information for the EMPIRE database. You will be able to see everything from there and it will be indisputable. I have seen the recording and it is transparent and shows the direct connection. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 22:59, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- I thought the information provided was enough but please see this last piece of evidence before you make your decision. It is a 4 minute video in order to see everything for what is. It is more than enough to satisfy any doubt that it Blazington Music Group is connected to EMPIRE. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 23:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

- replying to my own comment but was informed that they used the subject's login information in order for it to display this information on the EMPIRE website. I don't know what that all meant in terms of if it was necessary or not but from what the video showed anyone can make a clear connection to Blazington Music Group and EMPIRE. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 23:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- I was emailed this over by the manager as well its the EMPIRE Content Team confirming the 3 releases from the subject were released on EMPIRE. They had requested the subject contact them about this matter but I wasn't made aware of this until their manager informed me. I did not want to have to go to these lengths to prove the connection but it was good to do. Between the video and this photo its undeniable proof and that the nomination should be withdrawn and that the subject can keep their stub article.
- https://www.flickr.com/photos/199677379@N08/53360664731/
- I was informed me that nothing was blacked out that way there was no accusations of fakes or digital imagery. It appears it was sent to the subject. I would imagine this whole matter has made the EMPIRE team question what is going on so with the video and the photo I think it all goes under Guideline #5 and that the subject can keep their stub article. @Philipnelson99

- I'm not withdrawing the AfD. Philipnelson99 (talk) 00:29, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- I effectively proved the connection between Blazington Music Group and EMPIRE. That was what you asked for and that was what was delivered. I thought you were not moving the goal post? Did you watch the video and see the photo? The subject meets Guideline #5 and should be granted the stub article. Mind you this is only a stub article we are talking about. You said there is a process to this, well any and all processes include being fair and I was able to prove there was the link between the two. By not removing the afd after this evidence has been shown this shows me that you are moving the goal post.

- I'll refer you to Duffbeerforme's first comment on this AfD. It's pretty clear that the albums are being distributed by EMPIRE distribution. That doesn't mean the subject was signed to the record label. That's the absolute last thing I'm saying here. I don't like to be accused of being unfair. Philipnelson99 (talk) 00:41, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- The issue he was saying is that EMPIRE isn't a real record label, it had nothing to do with whether the subject's work was distributed by EMPIRE, you are moving the goalpost and being unfair.
- Duffbeerforme's first comment:
- Delete. Empire is a distribution company, not a label as asked for by wp:music. No pass there. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:48, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I already proved EMPIRE was a record label, why are you going in a loop? You asked for a clear connection between Blazington Music Group and EMPIRE and I proved there was and now you are saying its pretty clear the albums are being distributed by EMPIRE distribution. That is taking it in a complete opposite lane.
- The issue is whether the albums are ON EMPIRE and I already established that EMPIRE was a real record label and then I established that the releases were on EMPIRE and then I established that the subject was on EMPIRE and then I established the connection between Blazington Music Group and EMPIRE. You are being very unfair.
- We need others to chime in on this. I have provided everything you asked and you are moving the goal post. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 00:53, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

- So I do not want to sound impartial but many of my replies are either providing evidence that the nominator asks for or replying back to the nominator about them saying the evidence is not sufficient enough. I could have chopped down those replies but I felt as if the evidence needed explanation even though the nominator repeatedly turned down all shown pieces of evidence.
- I genuinely feel I provided enough evidence that the subject meets Guideline #5 which states:
- Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
- Bunkytrap34 (talk) 01:18, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- But thank you very much for letting me know that. This process has been an ordeal with countless amount of research. I really thought the nominator and me had an understanding at first. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 01:21, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- I withdrew my nomination on the belief that Icetre was signed to EMPIRE records. I retracted it after Duffbeerhome pointed out that Icetre was merely being distributed on the EMPIRE distribution side of the company. This wasn't meant to attack or disparage you. This is how an AfD process works. Philipnelson99 (talk) 01:27, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- No he did not. What he said was "Empire is a distribution company, not a label as asked for by wp:music. No pass there." He did not say anything about the subject being distributed on the EMPIRE side. Please cite where he said that because I cannot find it. and further more Guideline #5 says two or more albums released on "an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." and the wikipedia for EMPIRE says "Empire Distribution, Records and Publishing Inc. (stylized as EMPIRE) is an American distribution company and record label founded in 2010 by Ghazi Shami."
- The entire name is "Empire Distribution, Records and Publishing Inc. (stylized as EMPIRE). It clearly says its stylized as EMPIRE but it is not simple EMPIRE Distribution. Obviously that title would be too long for a wikipedia name. This is what the nominator does not understand is that EMPIRE handles all 3, not just one separate from the other, its all the EMPIRE. The nominator is "splitting hairs" on whether the releases were on EMPIRE Records or on EMPIRE Distribution when in reality its all the same thing coupled together into one record label and that's exactly why it says: ""Empire Distribution, Records and Publishing Inc. (stylized as EMPIRE). Bunkytrap34 (talk) 01:47, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

- I'm not withdrawing the AfD. Philipnelson99 (talk) 00:29, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- This is the issue we are dealing with:
- The nominator said: "I don't see anything on SoundExchange's page indicating a connection to EMPIRE. Blazington Music Group claims they are affiliated with EMPIRE but I have yet to see a reliable source that says this is the case."
- so I sent them a video and photo confirming the connection between Blazington Music Group and EMPIRE from the official EMPIRE website. UPC codes and images confirm the connections between the two.
- After I posted the evidence they simply said "I am not withdrawing the afd". The nominator is ignoring the connection, is refusing to accept Guideline #5, and will not withdraw the afd. They are talking about the release of the albums but in earlier conversations I have already proved my case legitimate so the nominator is refusing to remove the afd based on them "moving the goal post". I talked to the nominator about this and they said they are:
- fair
- not moving the goal post
- not taking it personal
- but I am not seeing that here. I am speaking from my perspective. We need others to read through this and chime in. I have proven over 5-6 claims from the nominator and I feel like the nominator is going in a different direction even when I proved their claim down to a T. I feel like this is sabotage. I do not understand why the nominator is being this way. Each time I prove evidence then there is another claim and once I had provided the indisputable evidence then the nominator takes it a few claims back and speaks on the legitimacy of the albums when i had already proven the legitimacy.
- This nominator is on a rampage and i do not understand why this nominator is being this way. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 01:13, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- I don't want to comment a lot but I'll add a few points:
- The nominator cannot withdraw this AFD at this point (and could not as soon as any one voted delete)
- As WP:BLUDGEON explains, once you've explained your rebuttal to a specific point, unless someone else asks you a question, assume the closer will read, and assess, your comments against other user's comments.
- I am very confused by the provenance of the video and picture in the Flickr account you linked to. They're not a reliable source or verifiable. The email content and the video to my eye doesn't prove that Icetre is "signed" to a label; everything, to me, seems consistent with sort of B2B business relationship where someone is paying Empire some fee to manage uploading and licensing.
- And even assuming Icetre did meet WP:SINGER#5, that doesn't automatically make him WP:NOTEABLE and since WP:BLP applies, even if WP:NOTABLE if there aren't sufficient WP:RELIABLESOURCES, we can't have an article. In short, there need to be reliable, independent sources (I don't see any, at best there's one or two extremely marginal sources). If you want this article kept, it'd be best on focusing finding and providing the best sources available, about Icetre, that haven't been presented or in the article. Skynxnex (talk) 01:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Ah okay I wasn't sure but okay to both points. Sorry for the late responses.
- So the nominator had denied evidence and said "In order to verify Icetre as being on the EMPIRE record label you must provide a verifiable source and all of the sources you have provided are questionable or self-published at best" so I provided a verifiable source SoundExchange a non profit organization by the U.S. Congress, and showed that the subject's albums were released on Blazington Music Group and that UPC and ISRC codes could be used to check against any database including EMPIRE's.
- So then the nominator says "I don't see anything on SoundExchange's page indicating a connection to EMPIRE. Blazington Music Group claims they are affiliated with EMPIRE but I have yet to see a reliable source that says this is the case."
- So right there he is asking for a reliable source that says this is the case and he is asking for a connection between EMPIRE and Blazington Music Group.
- I provided the video that is within the EMPIRE database and the image as these are only meant to prove my point that Blazington Music Group and EMPIRE are connected and that the information on SoundExchange is reliable. He did not say that SoundExchange did not count he only wanted proof of connection so that's where the videos and images come from. I merely uploaded those to that site I am not using Flickr as a reputable site, that would be silly.
- Labels.empi.re bring you right up to the EMPIRE backstage login.
- You say there is no proof but here is cited information of the subject when the subject signed with EMPIRE back in 2014
- https://www.facebook.com/share/6WfQF1A6G77FJqLk/?mibextid=Zmo65R
- The nominator requested the subject be apart of the "roster" but go to https://store.empi.re/pages/artist-roster you'll see that there is no artists there but the subject had screenshotted years ago the roster list when it was still made available:
- https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=777517018967656&set=a.446109862108375&type=3&mibextid=Zmo65R
- Now I can't explain why the list is gone but just because EMPIRE decided to remove the roster list that does not mean that the subject is "suddenly" off of the label and if that was true that would mean there is no more artists with EMPIRE and that would be silly to think that just because it shows no artists on their roster.
- I mentioned the subject has their own record label that they created specifically underneath EMPIRE. It was within their contract otherwise it couldn't just "appear", those situations require paperwork behind it. The screenshot on the subject's Facebook clearly shows the email was designated specifically towards the subject. I mentioned also that if they wanted "EMPIRE" to be on the label list then the subject would have to cancel their record label's contract and all of that would be extreme for a Wikipedia community to want the subject to do that just for posterity. This is why I proved the connection between Blazington Music Group and EMPIRE.
- You say there needs to be sources but what are we basing the sourcing off of? Guideline #5 on The two or more albums that were released on EMPIRE or are we basing the sourcing off of documentation that the subject is on EMPIRE? I cannot simply tell the subject these things but you basically saying that there needs to be more articles that say point blank "the subject is with EMPIRE"? because if that is what you are saying then that's exactly why I am trying to get a stub article approved so more information can be done. Its kind of like job experience, the job's used to train you on site but told you to have some skills to bring but now a days job experience they want you to have 5 years experience before hand....a stub article is the former. The things you all are saying is great information on how to expand a stub article and the fact that you are all doing the research and fact checking the information I give its basically already a stub article on its way for expansion but it just got jumbled up in a Afd.
- Stub wikipedia defintion: A stub is an article that, although lacking the breadth of coverage expected from an encyclopedia, provides some useful information and is capable of expansion. Non-article pages, such as disambiguation pages, lists, categories, templates, talk pages, and redirects, are not regarded as stubs.
- So we can all at least agree that the subject's stub article provides some useful information and is capable of expansion? I do not mind doing more extensive research but I am only pleading for the stub article to remain so the community can help me expand on it.
- Does that make sense?
- There are many sources about the subject and their music but if there needs to be more sources about the subject being with EMPIRE then please consider allowing the subject to keep their stub article while expansion and research is done. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 03:19, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

You all have made this a terrible and unfriendly experience AND ALL FOR JUST A STUB ARTICLE. The editors have changed my entire views on Wikipedia I did not think this would be such a terrible experience. They have been nothing but unfriendly, biased, and they were not afraid to move the goal post when they were shown up with evidence. This the last comment I will be making here.

- I request a speedy deletion. I am uninterested in this and do not wish to partake in it any longer. You all have made this a terrible experience and I am not going to deal with it any longer. The subject will be fine without a Wikipedia and at this point a Wikipedia or a stub article is not worth all of this drama.

- @Bunkytrap34: I would rather not get into this discussion, but I think you are being very immature in regards to this discussion. No goal posts were moved, maybe you just misunderstood the criteria or had it poorly explained to you. As Skynxnex tried to explain to you, meeting #5 alone does not guarantee an individual will receive an article. Assuming he does meet notability guidelines, he also needs to have reliable sources and significant coverage that warrants inclusion in Wikipedia. I have seen none of this coverage for Icetre that would warrant an article even if #5 is met. And further, I have still yet to see proof that #5 has been met. From everything I've looked at, the sourcing you are attempting to use to claim Icetre is signed to the EMPIRE record label instead points to a distribution deal, also I'm seeing a lot of failures of WP:BLPSELFPUB and WP:OR, plus pretty much none of this is coming from reliable sources overall. I urge you to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policies before you decide to undertake major editing projects such as creating an entire article. It should be obvious that a screenshot on Facebook of a website cannot be considered a reliable source for information on Wikipedia. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 17:56, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

This article has existed more or less as a perma-stub since its creation in 2008. All of its references are primary sources, with only brief one-line reviews taken from the "Praise" section of the book itself. I found only one passing reference to it in only one of my sources (Routledge Handbook of Anarchy and Anarchist Thought, 2020), as a small part of a broader section about Konkin.

Prodded in 2019 by User:TTN, slightly improved but sadly this is still effectively a plot summary with passing info on what (few) media this niche location appeared in. Fails WP:GNG. The best I can find is the cited [20] (Gizmodo), but that mentions it in passing (few sentences). It has a bit of analysis but I think that's too little (WP:SIGCOV is not met). Unless someone can find better sources (my BEFORE, as noted, failed), I can only suggest an WP:ATD-R to the List of DC Universe locations.

- Merge to Krypton. I don't think there is enough here to pass GNG, but there is some good sourced commentary here which would make for a nice subsection about Vathlo Island on the Krypton page. Merging/redirecting to a relevant article is always preferable to me than a massive list article. Rhino131 (talk) 13:20, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep or merge The cited The Ages of Superman does discuss Vathlo Island for several pages. In addition to the Gizmondo article, Superheroes and American Self Image and Is Superman Circumcised?, p. 231 have brief but non-trivial (and similar) analysis. In total, I think that's enough to establish notability in accordance with WP:WHYN. Daranios (talk) 16:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Looking again I am fine with a merge to Krypton (comics) (but not to List of DC Universe locations), too, as much of the discussion in the secondary sources is of the relationship of the population of Vathlo Island to the rest of Kryptonian society. Not on the basis of WP:GNG but Rorshacma's WP:NOPAGE argument. And the content then spills over into Kryptonian and Ethnic stereotypes in comics#Black. Daranios (talk) 16:34, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to Krypton (comics) - The The Ages of Superman book does look like a good source, but the other available sources are pretty brief mentions. But, regardless, I do believe this is a WP:NOPAGE situation, where the topic is better covered as part of the broader subject for the added context that presenting the information in that way would provide.

I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this church in Merton, London, and added five references. One is a primary source (the Charity Commission website). Two of the others are local papers and are short articles of a few sentences. The fourth is significant coverage in the Baptist Times. The fifth is one sentence about the church's war memorial. There is a passing mention of the church in this book, which I have not added. I cannot find other coverage to add. I do not think the church is notable under WP:NCHURCH, WP:GNG or WP:NCORP.

- Prob delete - on the one hand, it is highly likely that a British religious institution of this age would have RS. Late 19 century churches often had local newspaper coverage and maybe well feature in books written about local history. On the other hand, it seems curlish to expect anyone other than interested editors to have to go to the effort of finding them. So unless someone finds more RS we can assess (I can't at present even though I believe it probably exists), I'm going to say WP:TNT on a largely promotional page until/unless someone who has access to appropriate sources can rewrite. JMWt (talk) 13:59, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Morden and add a couple of the found sources (particularly the 1935 one) there. It's a somewhat prominent building with an active congregation, but not of wide enough interest to warrant its own article.

- Delete: Typical WP:BDP1E, WP:NOTMEMORIAL, WP:NOTNEWS. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:27, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Clear evidence of notability from the sources provided and additional sources not used. We have in-depth coverage from national sources in Israel (which would be enough for notability) and even coverage in China from Xinhua News Agency, in India from Hindustan Times, in Australia from Australian Financial Review, and in the United States. Thmymerc (talk) 11:20, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. There's clearly WP:GNG from international and international WP:SIGCOV on the article subject. Not sure how this qualifies under WP:MEMORIAL (so we shouldn't have articles about dead people?). Would note that editors are claiming that WP:BDP1E is not a deletion rationale on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Issam Abdallah (obvious caveats for WP:OTHERSTUFF), but we should be consistent, especially in the context of this contentious topic area. Longhornsg (talk) 18:24, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
DeleteAgreed with Lightburst and Iskandar323; no evidence of notability beyond the sad event of his passing. I am not seeing the sigcov, prior to death, that is referred to by the above keep !votes. ResonantDistortion 08:10, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

- Keep (weak) and move to Death of Alim Abdallah. Sources in the article show this meets GNG as an event; as a BIO, it is WP:BIO1E, but this guides to write an article about the event. This often occurs with 1E bios. I think the Haaretz, Xinhua, plus [22], [23], [24], [25], [26] are the sources that I think can sustain an EVENT article. There is a legitimate question of WP:LASTING, but I think the international level of coverage cancels this out and WP:NOTTEMPORARY applies. // Timothy :: talk 12:02, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Move to Death of Alim Abdallah as Timothy suggested above - there are sources, but they are about the guy's death i.e. the event, not the person.
- Comment. Some of the participants here claim that Abdallah was not covered prior to his death. Such claims should not be counted as the sources from 2022 are right in the article. gidonb (talk) 10:53, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Before Alim Abdallah died, he already had reliable sources. Micheal Kaluba (talk) 15:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Move to Death of Alim Abdallah. I have struck my previous delete !vote and changed to move as TimothyBlue suggested above. The event has much greater claim to notability compared to the person - I would expect WP:VICTIM to apply. The delete votes however remain correct - the coverage prior to the event of his death does not appear to sufficiently demonstrate notability. The 2022 coverage appears to constitute 2 sources; one of which is a passing mention ([27]) and the second offer appears to be a brief 3 sentence profile which appears to be routine local coverage [28].

Though I created this article, looking back to it after gaining more editing experience I find it as only list of non-notable books by a non-notable writer.

- Comment I removed the WP:A7 because the article contains a credible claim of significance, specifically that the subject received the Gusi Peace Prize the "Nobel Peace Prize of the East". Further, WP:NACADEMIC point 2 states that a person is notable if "The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level". A Noble Peace Prize would automatically confer notability, is receipt of the "Nobel Peace Prize of the East" significant and prestigious enough to confer notability? That is for the community to decide. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:AC63:56C2:B69A:156D (talk) 23:03, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. I thought with so many published books he must surely have the published book reviews that would lead to a pass of WP:AUTHOR, but I searched and didn't find any. Maybe someone else can find them where I didn't, or maybe we will have to look for notability elsewhere, but this is an unpromising start. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- @David Eppstein We need to also consider the fact what just happened within a minute I tagged the page:
- User talk:BeLucky#November 2023 --BeLucky (talk) 04:05, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- @David Eppstein @4meter4 @Ca Yes this writer doesn't have a single book review. And kindly look at this too:
- Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents
- User talk:BeLucky#November 2023
- https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Nobel+Peace+Prize+of+the+East%22 10 google results.
- And the credibility of the claim "Nobel Peace Prize of the East" is in question as the cite on article is from Meer (https://www.meer.com/en/60249-greece-gets-a-gusi) which is written by the recipient on the award himself. And other source which is oldest (2019) in this is also from the recipient of the award himself: https://www.aspher.org/news,23.html
- Text on the Gusi Peace Prize#Background "foremost peace awards of Asia" also cited from the source which himself is recipient on the said award.
- Another question: is following considered as not good for cite:
- https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/148393 Kindly let me know if we have any place where we can check which is considered credible and which is not.
- And we must start investigation about these IPs:

- That is an editorial decision to address after this AFD closes. WP:AUTHOR is a policy about determining the notability of authors for article inclusion. It isn't meant to address what content should be included within an article on a notable author. For that you should read WP:Verifiability. We generally keep content that is cited to reliable sources as long as it is presented with the appropriate WP:WEIGHT.4meter4 (talk) 18:55, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Passes criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO as the subject "has received a well-known and significant award". In looking for sources on the Gusi Peace Prize] itself there appears to be enough coverage on the award in google books and media to make a claim that the award is both well-known and significant. As such, any winner of the Gusi Peace Prize will pass ANYBIO and does not need to demonstrate that they also pass GNG as ANYBIO is an officially recognized WP:SNG.4meter4 (talk) 15:48, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Looks like a promotional article. Also can be seen in above comments that there is no reliable source which proves about prize.☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 05:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- The source is a WP:PRIMARY source. It is a video of the Gusi Peace Prize ceremony and his speech upon receiving the award. As such, I don't think the claim of lack of verifiability or unreliability can be made. It would be preferable to have an independent secondary source.4meter4 (talk) 17:09, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete – We cannot write an encyclopedic article about someone who's only won a reward and no one ever wrote about them. Business Standard and The Hindu aren't terrible, but I don't think they're enough to build a biography off of, seeing as they are not about Martin specifically. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 13:17, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The organization of which he is president had its article deleted by AfD in 2019, although it was later re-created. The winners of the Gusi Peace Prize that I could find listed do not convince me of its significance. I don't think either of those things can be taken as conferring notability by themselves. And although one could imagine that these accomplishments could have led to the in-depth published sources that do confer notability, we have no such sources. So I don't see a pass of WP:GNG, and as I said above I also found no evidence of passing WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:37, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. There are a handful of reliable-looking sources out there, but even with them, it still seems like an edge-case.

- Nominator comment - To save others some time, the best sources I found were 1: this National Library of Wales blog post[29], and 2: this collector's magazine article[30]. The rest of the sources I've seen are mainly passing mentions, non-independent, or primary sources/interviews. - Whisperjanes (talk) 08:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - so far I'm not sure. I feel generally that the nom is likely correct that there is limited referencing to show notability. However there do appear to be a number of interviews - and I'm unconvinced that these don't show anything about the individual. I understand the argument but for me if independent publications have decided that someone is worthy of an extended interview, that is showing that they are considered notable.

- I can't give a thorough response for a few reasons:
- I'm extremely busy and ill IRL at the moment, so it's difficult for me to focus;
- I don't speak the language of the sources, so everything I'm gathering is from inference and some machine translation; and
- I think I probably overstated when I said most of the sources are unreliable or aren't independent, since I can't tell for sure either way with most of them. I'm not sure why I thought most of them were unreliable.
- After looking at the sources today, ref 6 (Mastra, I Wayan (2010)) jumps out to me as an autobiography making claims about third-parties (which if I'm interpreting WP:BLPSELFPUB correctly seems dubiously reliable) and possibly not independent, although right now I don't have energy for research to determine if I Wayan Mastra is independent of the organisation or not. Ref 4 (Suama, I.N. (1992)) is a thesis, which could be reliable but also may not be, and as I don't speak the language I can't verify whether it's reliable
- Sorry I can't give a better answer; I think I was probably a little hasty to condemn the sources when writing my original comment, although the issue of the article being entirely promotional in its entire history is still maybe worth a deletion, and at the very least needs a complete rewrite.

- I did not imply that your action (making an accusation without evidence) was done in bad faith. I said it was irresponsible, meaning you should have done things differently. Assuming good faith doesn't mean one cannot call out another user for a poor decision, even if it was done with good intentions. To be clear, I have no doubt that you meant no malice with the accusation. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:20, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

- Personally I would still like to hear from the nominator; while there is likely a reasonable explanation it is a striking coincidence and IMHO a highly unusual choice of a first edit for a passing unregistered user. That said, I am not sure my word has any weight as I have decided to take a hiatus from editing due to the recent spate of shitty nominations based on entirely Google-based BEFORE making me highly wary of sinking further time into creating content that might get taken out by driveby trolls and the usual mob of axe-grinders.

- @BoomboxTestarossa An misunderstanding of how IPv6 works is why this has blown up. IPv6 editors frequently change IPs within (generally) a tight range assigned by their ISP. This is completely outside their control. This IPv6 editor has been editing for months and has requested other AFDs in the past. See Special:Contributions/2605:B40:1303:900::/64. This is all one individual, across the different IPs their ISP has assigned them. This is essentially the very first step any sysop takes when reviewing an IPv6 editor. -- ferret (talk) 01:21, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Leaning Keep. As with many of the early Transfomers toys, Bellomo's Transformers: Identification and Price Guide has SIGCOV. There's some SIGCOV in Stuart Webb's Transformation: A Personal Journey Through the British Transformers Comic Volume 2: 1987-1989. I am pretty sure this subject this will pass GNG. As is the case with many Transformers characters, there are so many incarnations through toys, comics, TV, movies, games, etc. —siroχo 05:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

- Hi random IP person, as you seem to have no problem jumping in on some votes but seem to have missed a direct question, may I again ask what your Before was? I'm guessing by how vociferously you're referencing it that it's not just a Google search and it involved reliable specialist sources that not just any muppet with a browser and a search engine can find, so before I try to squeeze some actual research on the subject into a busy work week it would be handy to know which sources aren't worth checking. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 10:15, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

The entire article survives on a single Maalai Malar review. I don't think that Malini Mannath's reviews outside The New Indian Express, Chennai Online and The Indian Express are notable (website is blog like). There are no sources about her unlike Komal Nahta. Other Tamil films that have a single Maalai Malar review have plenty of outside notable production sources: Engada Iruthinga Ivvalavu Naala, Vilayattu Aarambam, 50/50 (2019 film).

- @Darkfrog24: Being a Tamil user, I nominated it for deletion. This a low-key film. There is one notable review from Maalai Malar. Malini Mannath, used to write for The New Indian Express but this review was from her blog page. Could not find any sources about Malini Mannath, herself, which is why she does not have her own page. The other review Film News 24x7 is probably fine because of Diamond Babu. Hope this helps.

The page as it stands now is basically unsourced. Most of the included refs point to articles BY the subject, which makes them OR, or at best primary sources. The sources not written by the subject are mentions, not sigcov. It's possible the subject is technically notable, but my admittedly simple search failed to turn up anything which can be used to build a page out of.
If someone wants to try and TNT it and start over, go ahead, I was unable to. Meanwhile we have an unsourced page mostly written by three editors with no other edits, one of whom would seem to be related to the subject. That reeks of COI editing. As an aside, while I'm not familiar with the subject, this edit by one of the single purpose accounts seems to indicate that the name of the article is not even the subject's given name.

- Keep - Seems to have reasonable coverage and to be an important event. I'm a firm believer that an event in the present day requires different sourcing standards than one that happened 40 years ago, in the same vein if this event took place in the USA or western Europe there would be significantly more coverage, as it is you have two high quality sources covering it and that feels appropriate as a keep given the geography.

- Delete. Delete per the source review by Alexandermcnabb, the references in the article do not pass GNG, as routine coverages and interviews aren't going to help this article satsify notability guidelines.

- Delete - BEFORE check does not show any coverage of significance other than what's in the article, which I think is insufficient. Source analysis shows what's available just does not constitute significant coverage. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:27, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, although it could perhaps be moved to All Seasons Park, Penang and expanded to cover the condo towers. All Seasons Park – A Landmark Development, All Seasons Park etc. could provide content on the residential side. The difficulty with a place like this is the search results are swamped by commercial sites advertising businesses in the mall.

- Weak delete. Doesn't seem meet WP:NACTOR or WP:BASIC. Vampire (2011 film) does seem to be a notable film, but the subject's role doesn't seem close to large enough to accompany a single Supernatural episode to suggest notability.

This page is a extremely obscure set of economic theories which isn't terribly useful to have as a separate article. The article should be deleted or merged and redirected to Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar's page. The issue with the earlier review is that it is inconclusive due to the idea that this theory was being used or implemented, however this is not the case. It's a obscure theory from over 50 years ago with and hasn't been used since. Perhaps, at most it's a social movement started by Sarkar, all the more reason to have it be on his page. Similar to social credit, but as far as I can tell unlike social credit no government aligned with this movement has been in power which brings into question it's notability. This is a theory that isn't used either in economics or in any polity. This article isn't notable enough to have its own page and needs to be reviewed.

- Most of the google results are either pages selling Sarkar's books, foundations based on Sarkar's work, or articles based on this page. So not many independent sources.

- Keep I'm sympathetic to where the nomination is coming from given the contents of the article in its present state: far too reliant on sources lacking in independence of the subject. That said, AfD is not clean up. However, concur with Siroxo, there is sourcing that indicates the theory itself is notable and given the size of the Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar article, this is an acceptable fork.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. PopoDameron talk 02:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep (reluctantly): I would argue the sources provided establish notability, as there are several of them, they are independent, and the coverage seems to be significant in the few that I checked out. It's not the best article I've ever seen, and I really hate to give the creators of the software an eternal perch on one of the few reputable corners of the internet, but it meets our criteria for notability and verifiability. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 02:56, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- In my opinion, in the best case, the article is, even if potentially notable, not ready for the main space and should be worked on as a draft. Most of what has been written is not usable and does not belong here at all. PopoDameron talk 03:44, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Since the topic is covered by multiple sources, it does establish notability and verifiability. However, it is understandable that such a controversial, inflammatory, and possibly harmful topic could not be welcomed on the wiki.
- The article could either be left up so multiple people can correct, improve, and make sure the article just informs and does not promote the topic, or it could possibly be moved back into draft space and worked on until it meets the requirements and/or safety standards of those who would want to remove it. That way, we can make sure the wiki is not promoting this topic and people's concerns can be addressed by their contributions to the article. Targed (talk) 04:21, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Consider: this was a valuable and noteworthy social experiment. An AI was trained over a toxic environment, and reflected this toxicity. It's important to get a visceral sense of the potential dangers of AI, and Yannic's work did just that. As an analogy: YouTube censors harm, so you can find many videos of miraculous car accident-avoidances but no grizzly car accidents. This will give the viewer a false psychological sense that a miraculous escape is likely, while a grizzly accident is unlikely. So is this YouTube policy ultimately helpful or harmful? 2A0E:1D47:D201:6300:A83D:5A11:143E:127E (talk) 10:55, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Meets WP:GNG via the references in the article including Engadget, Vice, Fortune, The Register, and a staff article at Thenextweb. A search finds enough WP:SUSTAINED coverage in academic sources as well eg [48][49](later published in IEEE conference), [50], (i.e. even if we consider this topic an event, it has become a WP:CASESTUDY) There may be unreliable sourcing in the article (I see a blog, a substack, and some other iffy stuff), but we can WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM. —siroχo 06:27, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Extensive coverage in non-primary sources clearly establish notability. The subject matter being controversial or inflammatory is irrelevant to its inclusion in an encyclopedia. Draftifying would only slow down work on improving it. Owen× ☎ 12:51, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep (withdrawn). As other editors have said, I can see now that the sources are definitely notable enough for WP:GNG and the article isn't nearly bad enough to WP:TNT. I might have been a bit hasty in doing this when I saw that the article had been rejected three times and no improvements were made before moving it to the main space...

- Merge to Florida Virtual School, the topic for which Young is notable. She's often mentioned in coverage of the school during the time that she was principal (and founder) including in the New York Times[51] I'm not saying the NY Times coverage makes her notable, I'm suggesting that we should cover her in the article about the school so that people looking for more info about her can find it). The school was large and attracted significant media attention under her leadership.
- I found a profile of her specifically in a magazine. Vogel, Mike (September 2011). "Principal entrepreneur: how a restless assistant principal built the nation's leading online public school". Florida Trend. 54 (6): 64–70. Retrieved 22 November 2023. and another Reason (magazine) article where she gets four paragraphs: Mangu-Ward, Katherine (2010). "Teachers Unions vs. Online Education". Reason. 42 (4): 44–50. Retrieved 22 November 2023. Jahaza (talk) 00:43, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Update: I forgot two other sources I found the other day. First, in the book Saving Schools: From Horace Mann to Virtual Learning by Paul Peterson there's a chapter titled "Julie Young and the Promise of Technology" although I haven't been able to access the chapter itself[52]. Additionally, looking at an archived version of Sherri Ackerman's article "Julie Young, longtime Florida Virtual School leader, is stepping down" in its original format on what was then an online periodical called redefinED about education in Florida, it looks like a piece of substantial journalistic coverage to me [53]. I think a case could be made towards keep (and I suspect if we had better Florida newspaper access from the time she was the principal that would help), but I'm happy with merge.

Article is an incomplete, random selection of companies in Australia with no real parameters as has been noted on the talk page. It has everything from large listed companies to small family businesses. The article may have been more relevant when created in 2002, but as Wikipedia has evolved, lists of companies with more defined boundaries have emerged, e.g. List of largest Australian companies, List of banks in Australia etc making this one redundant. The only criteria for inclusion appears to be that the organisation operates through a Ltd or Pty Ltd company. Hamienet (talk) 02:29, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

- Move to List of cities in the Dutch Caribbean and merge List of cities in Aruba into it. I agree with nom that we don't need an article on a defunct entity, but there probably should be one for the broader topic rather than pages for the individual islands, especially because in most of these places the cities are not politically independent.

- Comment Liz, I think Reywas92 is suggesting a "reverse merge" of List of cities in Aruba into this article, plus a rename. I'm supportive of that in principle, but I don't think it's a proper outcome of AfD as that article is not tagged. Effectively that's a keep/move, with broad support for a related followup BOLD merge that would probably not be performed by the closer. —siroχo

Relisting comment: Final relist. Article can't be redirected to List of programmes broadcast by Zee Bangla as this page has been deleted. An aside, popularity is only important in that it may mean that there is some SIGCOV of the article subject, in itself though it doesn't establish notability.

- Weak delete. While a brief search suggests it's feasible we could have an article on this (eg. Italian language Wired [55], Web User, [56]), the UPE issue along with the lack of any real suggestion of notability in the article (aside from a claimed viral video) mean there's not much worth holding on to. This is basically an entry in a computer catalog. —siroχo 07:18, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Strong keep. There are several arguments why the article should remain as a Wikipedia page. These are the arguments: 1. No evidence of connection: There is no concrete evidence to suggest a connection between the creator of the article and the company in question. Such an accusation is unfounded and should therefore be dismissed. 2. Recent edits and references: Several modifications have been made to the text of the article, which have significantly improved the article's references, added a new section and several noteworthy links, including distinctions obtained by the company. These references are independent and valid, which give important coverage to the article. The editor's suggestion that these references are for SEO purposes is speculative and unfounded. 3. Established presence and neutrality of the article: The page has been in existence for some time, demonstrating the presence and relevance of the product. The content is neutral and informative, aimed at serving the public interest, not self-promotion. 4. Concerns about the editor who requested the removal of the article: The user who nominated the article for removal is relatively new, with his main activity being the nomination of two articles for removal. This raises concerns about their possible inexperience, conflict of interest or other motives. The use of a single link as a basis for deletion is weak and rectifiable, and should not, on its own, be grounds for deletion under Wikipedia's policies. For all of the above reasons, the article should remain on Wikipedia and be improved if necessary.Juanma281984 (talk) 20:15, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete This is definitely on the line for passing GNG. I'm leaning towards delete as it's hard to find much significant independent coverage. The most significant source I could find is the aforementioned "viral video", the main focus of which is redkey USB and has 6 million views. Most everything else I can find is minor and or published by the parent company. Their Instagram has ~800 followers which leads me to believe they would fail GNG.

Albeit a fair chunk is related more specifically to the founder Binh Rybacki, yet it seems the two are broadly indistinguishable. Coverage combined seems enough to me that we can look at retaining, though would be good to actually get the material written to the article. Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:13, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep, bordering on speedy keep due to the superficial nomination statement. It's an official Doctor Who project — those don't sink into obscurity even when they become lost media — and it's already amply cited. In a case like this, an AfD nomination needs to make an effort to explain why the obvious factors counting in the article's favor somehow don't. XOR'easter (talk) 15:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

- Technically it doesn't, but in practice, it kind of does. Topics become notable when people write about them in reliable sources, which happens with cultural mainstays like Doctor Who rather a lot of the time. Some of the more niche-interest topics, like one-off minor characters and settings visited only in passing, might not need a whole article. That's why we have List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens and so forth. At worst, Night of the Doctor would be a candidate for merging, not deletion.

- A story about the DVD release is an appropriate source for an article that, among other things, discusses the DVD release. XOR'easter (talk) 21:31, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I honestly don't see the issue with the article, either. Furthermore, this is a part of Doctor Who canon. In "The Husbands of River Song", in the final scene, River discusses with the Twelfth Doctor about why he kept cancelling their date to Darillium. During this, she mentions the "night there were two of you", a reference to the "Last Night" episode. This is also referenced in the episode's Wikipedia article under "Continuity" - a sourced reference - and that has never been questioned or challenged. So, if one of these interconnected mini-stories is connected to the main show's canon, then they all are connected. As such, this entire collection is canonical and notable.
