Certainly a hoax, created on April 1 of 2006. The only mention of the name, outside of Wikipedia mirrors is on this blog, note that the entries were created on the same date and they directly refer to Wikipedia. There are no mentions of the name in Google Books or Scholar, and as a Chinese speaker, it does not sound like a typical Chinese name to me. So delete and archive to WP:HOAXLIST. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 04:21, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete on account of the eye watering lack of verifiability, on which articles here live or die. This one doesn't look too well. -The Gnome (talk) 12:46, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, very likely a hoax as indicated by the blog which used Mao Zedong to illustrate the person. It is a possible Chinese name, however, looking through some Chinese lists of notable Roman Catholics I see no name that looks that like it could be this person, I'm therefore inclined to delete it. If the nom is certain that it is a hoax, then a speedy delete is in order. Hzh (talk) 12:52, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This fellow is almost certainly fictitious; the blog clearly used an image of Mao Zedong to depict him. Honestly, this article is probably the result of a prank. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 07:53, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Quite obviously a hoax. ShangKing (talk) 09:34, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No opinion of this being a hoax, but it doesn't pass WP:V let alone GNG (at least in this latin alphabet spelling).Icewhiz (talk) 11:10, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I cannot comment on whether this is a hoax, but the story has a credible feel about it to me, not that I am an expert. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:52, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Deletre The story may have a "credible feel" to it, but it lacks any sources. That a totally unsourced, probably hoax like this has existed on Wikipedia for 12 years is a severe indictement of the accuracy of Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:35, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG, a gsearch (yes i know its not definitive but still...) brings up nothing useable. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:57, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, i see this was created way back in 2006 by a spa, a question for the wiki boffins out there, why isnt there a bot trawling for articles like this one ie. old articles created by an ip/spa with no references is tagged/categorised as needs to be reviewed? ps. well done Champion for finding it. Coolabahapple (talk) 03:09, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Coolabahapple: I guess I don't see a need for bots doing it if editors like me occasionally do it, there might be tools for editors to do it, but I'm not entirely sure. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 04:56, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough Champion, a bit like me adding "use dmy/oz english" tags to appropriate OZ articles, around 8,000 articles checked, 180,000+ to go:)) Coolabahapple (talk) 07:25, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The most depressing thing about this apparent hoax isn't even that it has survived for so long--it's that it's survived for so long even though someone posted on the talk page about it being an apparent hoax in 2006 (shortly after this article was created). How the fuck did no one notice this message until now? I don't know the answer to this question but it clearly points to a serious underlying problem here that this slipped under the radar for so long. IntoThinAir (formerly Everymorning) talk 23:41, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @IntoThinAir: Interesting, having looked at the history of the talk page, the blog that I linked before also has a page mentioning "Cialovesyou", which is the account who posted on the talk page. Quack? - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 04:49, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @IntoThinAir: Confirmed, note that the link to the blog on Cialovesyou's user page and the one I mentioned in the rationale points to the same profile, so I guess it's the same editor having a go at how quickly it would be spotted. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 04:53, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Madison House (Kincardine, Ontario)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Poorly sourced article about a house, whose only potential claim of notability is that it's purported to be haunted. But the only references present here are a ghosthunter's Blogspot blog and a tourist directory, which are not reliable sources for the purposes of establishing a house's notability. Haunted or not, houses are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but this is not the kind of sourcing it takes to get them in the door.

Weak keep - I came to this thinking delete. The only other source I could find about "Madison" was [1], which is primary (some kind of B&B) and weak as a source. However, in searching the address (343 Durham Market Square), the house is registered as a historic place in Ontario - [2] p. 8, [3], [4], [5]. However, it probably should not stay at the current title. Chris857 (talk) 16:29, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even a registered historic place still requires reliable source coverage, and isn't handed any automatic freebie on purely primary sources just for existing. Bearcat (talk) 17:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It's a registered historical landmark per the Ontario Heritage Act. The government reports on it alone as supplied by Chris857 satisfy GNG. --Oakshade (talk) 02:33, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, they don't. GNG is media coverage, not government reports — if government reports conferred a GNG pass all by themselves, we would have to keep an article about every single building that exists on earth including residential houses. Bearcat (talk) 22:26, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It appears you have a fundamental misunderstanding of GNG and what types of sources are considered evidence of notability. GNG explicitly states sources of evidence of notablity include "but not limited to newspapers, books and e-books, magazines, television and radio documentaries, reports by government agencies, and academic journals," not simply the ambiguous term "media." --Oakshade (talk) 00:00, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I understand GNG correctly. For example, construction companies always have to file construction plans with a city planning commission before they can build any building or structure at all, and then the city planning commission has to vote to approve or reject those plans, or demand further changes to comply with regulations — meaning that every single structure that exists can always be sourced to a government report, because no structure ever comes into existence without being documentable to city planning commission files. You can't even put a granny suite in your backyard without the city planning commission having a file on that — so every granny suite in existence is documentable to government reports too. But we can't simply extend notability to every building that exists — so a building's notability cannot rest on routine sources that every building could always show, and has to rest on a class of sourcing that doesn't routinely exist for every building: namely, being singled out for special dedicated attention by media. Bearcat (talk) 16:53, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're confusing routine building permits/applications and files that all buildings have with in-depth analysis and historical context reports' that are not just documents on file at city hall. Your granny suite in your backyard does not have a government in-depth report of the analysis of the historical significance of it as this topic does. If you'd like to change GNG to not accept reports by government agencies as evidence of notability, you need to make you proposal and case on the GNG talk page, not push your new agenda on a single AfD. --Oakshade (talk) 17:28, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In order to pass WP:GEOFEAT: Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability. I don't see the reliable third-party sourcing here yet. The government documents that grant historical significance appear primary - perhaps I'm wrong on this. If precedent exists that all historically notable houses pass GEOFEAT please ping me. SportingFlyer talk 07:23, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Government reports on private entities such as this location are not primary. --Oakshade (talk) 16:16, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Three of the four sources are from the city of Kincardine, which is the city that authorized its historical heritage, and are the documentation of the way it became a heritage site. The other is a walking tour of all the historic properties of Kincardine. Are you making the argument all of these heritage properties in this small Ontario town deserve their own wikipedia article based on WP:GNG? Because they should all have this level of sourcing. Even assuming the references are not primary, the sources are trivial - and the reason this house has an article in the first place is for a completely different reason, because it was listed on some haunted ghost tour blog or something. A historic property can be notable, and fairly easily so - but a property cannot pass WP:GNG if the only sources are the ones which reference the fact it's historical in the first place. SportingFlyer talk 21:50, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is easy. "The city that authorized the historical heritage" is not the property. The property is not the city, not owned by the city nor a city government entity. A property easily passes WP:GNG if the only sources are the ones which reference the fact it's historical, provided the coverage is in-depth as it is in this case. And in-depth historical analysis is not "trivial".--Oakshade (talk) 22:43, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's more difficult than you make it out to be per WP:PRIMARY. The local government ordinance is nowhere close to being an independent source. It's not as if the municipality is publishing information about this house specifically: this type of coverage would be expected for all heritage listed properties in the town. There's no other coverage of it anywhere. Not every historical building gets a notability pass for Wikipedia because it's historical, especially when the only documentation about its history is the type of documentation which exists for any historic building in any jurisdiction by the local government, which is what we have here. (along with a town "walking tour" which appears to list all historic properties in town.) SportingFlyer talk 14:43, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be blending the claim that the government sources of this property are "primary" with regular notability arguments. It makes no difference if the government makes reports on all historic properties or just one as the government is still not the property and therefore not primary. Every National Register of Historic Places property would be considered "primary" under that scenario which of course they aren't. If you'd like to say "I don't think all properties the government considers historic are notable," fine. But to claim government reports are "primary" to private properties is simply false. --Oakshade (talk) 16:31, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm simply interpreting WP:PRIMARY properly: Primary sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved. — which is what the Kincadine local ordinance and property description is. SportingFlyer talk 16:59, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cherry picking a subsection of Wikipedia:No original research to attempt to show a government source is a primary one to a private property really looks like grabbing at staws. That quote is meant to discourage original research, which of course this is not. Just that the secondary source is geographically close to the topic doesn't magically transform it into a "primary" source. And I'm surprised I have to say this, this property is not an "event." Anyway, since you're valuing the content on the NOR page and classifying this topic as an "event," WP:SECONDARY states a secondary source "provides an author's own thinking based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event." The property is "at least one step removed" from the government reports and those reports are the very definition of WP:SECONDARY. --Oakshade (talk) 22:18, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like you're grasping at straws to keep an article which should clearly be deleted, to be honest. Let's recap: Does this property get a notability waiver for being a Canadian National Heritage Site? Not from any available sources, no. Does it get a notability waiver for being an Ontario Heritage Site? No, as there are many of these sites. Perhaps this notable enough for a list. The only available sources shown for a keep are primary sources showing the property is an Ontario Heritage Site, which can be expected for all properties on the Ontario Heritage Site list (I'm excluding the one or two sentence blurb from the walking tour brochure.) No other sources are available... and again, the reason this article exists is to promote a "haunted house." They may not be primary sources since the owners of the house didn't write about the house and try to get it published. SportingFlyer talk 06:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now you've changed the subject as your "primary" argument holds no weight. Sorry, it was you who was grasping at straws with that attempted application of WP:NOR for your false argument that government reports on this private property were "primary." The in-depth coverage from the detail analysis of the government reports easily show this passing WP:GNG. Your false "those are primary sources" argument didn't work. If you think this or any article "should clearly be deleted" then try to build a consensus for your opinion which doesn't seem to be happening. --Oakshade (talk) 19:13, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm tired of saying the same thing over and over again. The government sources aren't primary to the house, but they are primary to your concept of notability (that the house is notable because the government has made it a local heritage site), and if we accept them, we erode WP:GEOFEAT by allowing features included at the sub-national heritage level to be included in the encyclopedia. Give me a secondary source that's more than a couple sentences. SportingFlyer talk 08:39, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now you're not even reading correctly. The property is notable because of in-depth coverage from secondary sources, in this case government reports. The government is secondary source even by your standards of applying the WP:NOR policy which you linked to above. Now that you're finally admitting the government sources aren't primary to the house, let's move on. --Oakshade (talk) 15:12, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If it was included on the Canadian Register of Historic Places then it would be notable per WP:GEOFEAT: "Artificial geographical features that are officially assigned the status of cultural heritage or national heritage, or of any other protected status on a national level and which verifiable information beyond simple statistics are available are presumed to be notable." However, this appears to merely be a local listing, which does not count. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:19, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Note this should be covered at List of historic places in Southwestern Ontario#Bruce County.

First, this should not be outright deleted, because merge to the list-article is available as an alternative to deletion. It does not yet seem to be included in that list-article; it should be added. I myself am not familiar enough with Canadian historic places to understand why it is not yet listed there; User:Magicpiano is an editor who has developed that list-article and others like it and I would be glad if they could comment here.

I prefer "Keep" over "Merge" because the information available, i.e. this source given above, suggests to me it is equivalent to U.S. National Register of Historic Places eligibility ("Italianate architecture – low pitched mansard roof – centre tower on the front façade – windows with rounded headers and decorative keystones and a verandah with Greek columns – built in 1870’s by Thomas C. Rooklodge whose family operated the “pork factory” / Designation By-law – 4641 Date Designated: January 3, 1985 ). It would be nice to have a separate nomination document about it, and I presume such exists, [it does exist] although it is designated ~~by the province of Ontario~~ [by local government] and is apparently not a Canadian national historic site. --Doncram (talk) 17:01, 9 July 2018 (UTC) --17:35, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram: It's not equivalent to the national register of historic places: see Ontario Heritage Act. It shouldn't be on the list you mention. I would be a keep if more historic notability could be shown; this is just a property which a local municipality has declared a local heritage site, but there are many of these sites in this town alone. SportingFlyer talk 17:09, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) I was going to say, in fact there is separate nomination document (linked above) sufficing to provide information to develop the article more, and IMO comparable to U.S. National Register documentation. Based on photo of the house, I would have called it Second Empire in style, with elements of Italianate as Second Empire buildings often have, but the summary above was just calling it Italianate. However the Walking tour brochure does term it Second Empire, so that can be used in the article.

I do think it should be included in the Bruce County historic places list article, which is supposed to cover sites designated "locally, provincially, territorially, nationally, or by more than one level of government." Given your assertion I am not sure if it is province-level or not (what does according to Ontario Heritage Act mean, I will go look that up, yes [okay i see the provincial act gives authority to local government] ) but it is at least locally-designated. We do have list-articles about local registers in the U.S., and about individual places on just a local register if there is adequate information, as there is here. There's plenty about it, IMO. This is fine to Keep and develop. --Doncram (talk) 17:15, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, all of the locally designated historic places can/should be covered in the Bruce County list-article or a separately-broken out list-article about places in Kincardine alone. They don't have to get separate articles, necessarily, but they can get separate articles if there's enough info available, as there is here IMO. --Doncram (talk) 17:17, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And about the "primary" quality of the sources, as Oakshade notes above, they are not primary to the property; calling them secondary is more appropriate. SportingFlyer is right that as local sources they are not quite as good as sources that have undergone more levels of professional review, and none is guaranteed here. U.S. NRHP listings do get some state-level review reflected in modifications to the application forms. But state-level or local-level source forms are in fact used directly in many NRHP listings, with or without any further documents from higher state or national levels (although there may have been higher review in fact or at least potentially). So we have to go partly on the apparent quality of the documents, which seem okay to me. --Doncram (talk) 17:35, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To settle one question, I just began adding Kincardine locally-designated historic sites to the list-article. Note the list-article has a municipal listing identifier column which I am trying to use, but having some trouble (discuss at Talk:List of historic places in Southwestern Ontario#Kincardine local historic sites). There is no "Notes" or "Description" column, so it is not feasible to merge all available material, even to give a single descriptive word like "Italianate", into the list-article. Unless the standardized format of this Ontario historic places list-article is to be changed, it seems we need to "Keep" the article to allow description. --Doncram (talk) 18:14, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This conversation should occur on the talk page of that article. I disagree with what you've done, as that list is for registered historic places as searchable on [6] - there is only one registered building in Kincardine, and it's not this property. This is why I'm fighting for a delete, where I am probably a lean keep on geographical AfDs: all we have to go on is a primary document for a provincial heritage registry, not something which would automatically be notable. SportingFlyer talk 18:22, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this document: [7] says Kingston has over 1,000 places on the Ontario Heritage register, but only 120 on the national register. I can't find anything showing this is on the national register, and in the absence of documents on the property that don't relate to its local listing/aren't primary, I don't think it can be kept. SportingFlyer talk 18:58, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay maybe the Kincardine ones should be in a separate new list-article, and maybe not in that Southwestern Ontario list-article, and that is being discussed there, including with more info about the Kingston example. However IMHO there certainly should/will be a list of Kincardine municipal historic sites somewhere. So the existing Madison House article will not be an orphan; it will be listed in context somewhere. However we still have more reliable enough info about the architecture and history of this house than will be covered in such list-article, so keeping a separate article still makes sense. Of course we should drop most or all of the rubbish about being haunted.

Maybe we should not get too bogged down in whether to call the available official coverage "primary" vs. "secondary". I suppose you can call it primary if it is written without including explicit sourcing to other documents, and I think these do not include lists of references. However there are 70,000 Wikipedia articles about U.S. NRHP places which mostly are sourced just to documents relating to their listing, which you may call "primary". Many of the NRHP documents do reference other sources; many do not. You can't be too harsh about "primary" sources; they are allowed in Wikipedia as long as they're not being stretched to make disputable points. I don't think it is controversial to say the Madison House has elements of Italianate style, etc., based on the local listing saying so, plus the photos which show those elements to the informed editors. --Doncram (talk) 20:35, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we've decided that NRHP and Canadian national historic places can get notability waivers — in this instance, we're dealing with a property whose only sourcing is its addition to a local heritage list. Whether an article on the local heritage list for a 12,000 person town is notable is not for me to say at this point, and I don't mind if the information is captured somewhere, but there's nowhere near enough to keep this particular article at this moment.

Comment What, is this still open. Source(s) were found to develop the article. It is listed on a local historic register, and there is plenty of info to be reported. The comment that there is "nowhere near enough to keep this particular article" is just wrong, IMHO. I would say "obvious keep" at this point. --Doncram (talk) 06:01, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the sourcing does not justify a stand alone article. Although that is true for the majority of articles we have on buildings.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:45, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Chris857, Oakshade and doncram. Satisfies GNG. Registered under the Ontario Heritage Act. The sources are fine. The "registered by local government" argument leaves me completely unmoved. If it is a listed building, it is listed building. Deletion would violate ATD, PRESERVE and R, since this could be merged and redirected to the area in which it is located, Kincardine, Ontario. (For the avoidance of doubt, Durham Market Square or Street or whatever, Kincardine has coverage apart from this building (eg By-law 518), so an article on this Durham Market location is an option for compromise). James500 (talk) 07:02, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Campus Co-operative Residence Incorporated

Poorly sourced article about a housing cooperative whose only discernible notability claim is that it exists. The references here are two primary sources, a glancing namecheck of its existence in a blog entry about the general concept of cooperative living, and an article in the student newspaper of the university that this co-op serves -- which means that none of them are strong sources for the purposes of getting this over WP:GNG, because the ones that are substantively about the co-op aren't independent of it and the one that's independent of the co-op isn't substantively about it.

Keep. An article in a newspaper, even a student newspaper, is a secondary source. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:21, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of one secondary source is not an automatic GNG pass or keep-clincher in and of itself. GNG requires multiple reliable sources, not just one, and GNG does put student media in the back seat as less carrying of notability than general market media is — a university student newspaper can be used for supplementary verification of stray facts after GNG has already been covered off by stronger sources, but it is not a bringer of GNG if it is the strongest source on offer.

Article about a housing cooperative, not well-sourced enough to pass WP:GNG. The only references here are an entry in the self-published "encyclopedia of our own history" of the university this was affiliated with, and a single newspaper article which I just searched for on ProQuest and found that it's a 200-word blurb -- which means that the substantive source isn't independent, and the independent source isn't substantive.

Comment I found a number of local mentions in a before search. I'm not sure they add up to WP:GNG but since it is or was the tallest building in Kingston (Emporis lists it as fourth) there's a chance the article could be sourced adequately, so I'm going to abstain on voting. SportingFlyer talk 07:47, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, while I did find a small smattering of purely local coverage in ProQuest beyond just the blurb that's been cited here, it definitely wasn't enough: it didn't expand beyond Kingston, it didn't support the addition of any genuine substance to this article beyond reverification of its existence, and it was vastly outnumbered by coverage of a different unrelated Princess Towers in a different Canadian city (and even combined, the two buildings still generated less than 60 hits total.)

Delete : As an unrepentant agoniste for veracity, I plunged into this quest unblemished by prejudice, yet Wikinotability was, alas, nowhere to be found. Subject seems to fail the criteria for the notability of buildings, first of all: Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability. We're certainly missing those.

Secondly, if there was verifiable evidence of lasting or historical notability of the subject's social importance, as a co-op, sources would have similarly been identified. Weak asides only have.

Essaying to locate encyclopaedic interest beyond merely the notability requirements fails on verifiability's strict regime, again: We need independent sources and we do not have them. This article is built on sand. -The Gnome (talk) 11:37, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

David Art Wales

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

As the article states, David Art Wales is "best known" for creating Guru Adrian (whose Wikipedia page was merged with this one some years ago). He did this in the 1980s while working at Alan, the fanzine of the small Australian radio station Triple Jay — a magazine so obscure I cannot find any record of it at any Australian library.

Wales was then a host on the Australian TV show "Edge of the Wedge" which was cancelled after a few months. Apparently, some American studios expressed interest in making a TV show about Guru Adrian, but none ever did.

Since then, Wales has took part in several pranks and projects. It's hard to tell where the pranks end and the projects begin. Was "Nice Enterprises" a real business? Was his job at the bowling alley real? Did any else take part in Project Naughties? What is the point of the "Prudent Boozers"? And, moreover, who was Guru Adrian? Some of this seems to be puffery, like his girlfriend's burlesque show and his Toyota job. The article claims he launched Cinelan with Morgan Spurlock, but its website makes no mention of him. There is no evidence he influenced the term "noughties". Most of the sources come from a digitised scrapbook, which documents his exploits stretching back to when he was seven, which must have been compiled by Wales himself or someone close to him. And this article and the the old Guru Adrian article have the same feel. I don't think Wales is notable enough for Wikipedia. He was almost famous. He is mentioned at the Triple Jay article, and that is enough to cover his notability and that of his creation, Guru Adrian. Jack Upland (talk) 09:02, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article has three issues. First, many of the sources are self-published reprints of actual published articles (via predigitalarchive.com). This is sub-optimal, as the article subject (presumably) is providing copies of the sources rather than the sources. To Quote WP:N, " Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article". We know via these copies of sources that enough sources to establish notability clearly do exist, so GNG is met and the subject is notable. The second issue is that the sources should be the original versions of the actual sources, and the third issue is that there seems to be some promotional editing going on here. But it certainly meets the criteria to be kept.96.127.242.226 (talk) 04:16, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which sources establish notability? He has been mentioned in articles or interviewed multiple times for multiple reasons over 40 years. A lot of people are featured in the media occasionally, particularly if they are publicity-seeking, which Wales obviously is. I have been myself. Does that mean all of us, if we keep the clippings etc, become notable enough to have an article?--Jack Upland (talk) 08:21, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Publicity-seeking is a non-issue. What matters is whether one got the publicity. If you look at the sources in the article they clearly establish in-depth coverage by multiple reliable independent publications. And yes, if you have enough clippings of media coverage about yours truly, you can have an article. In-depth coverage by multiple reliable independent publications is all it takes.96.127.242.226 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:46, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's an untenable position. Many people have gleaned some publicity over 40 years of publicity-seeking (or whatever). The Sydney Morning Herald article from 1998, "A Job for the Guru" is the best source for establishing notability. But it introduces him by asking, "Minor eccentric or major talent"? and goes on to float the possibility that Guru Adrian will get an American TV deal. I don't think he's a major talent (or much of an eccentric) and I don't think there was a TV deal. The various sources don't together establish anything. They don't establish he's a notable artist. They establish he's a publicity seeker, who has perpetrated various jokes, hoaxes, publicity stunts, artworks etc since he was age 7. I'm not criticising him, and I wish him luck, but I don't think he belongs in an encyclopedia. And it doesn't seem that most people think that he does. No one has leapt in and said that Guru Adrian rocked their down under world. No one has produced new sources. We're left with an article based on a old scrapbook. What's the point?--Jack Upland (talk) 10:49, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very tenable position as it relies on our notability policy. Setting aside comments on his talent and whether he is a publicity-seeker (all artists are, btw!), the in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources establish notability. The scrapbook argument does not wash as clearly it proves the exiistence of multiple reliable sources. You or I might not like his ilk, but he has been covered more than enough in RS to be notable.96.127.242.226 (talk) 21:45, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're just repeating the same line without answering my points. Have you tried Googling Wales? Nothing shows up, except things he (or an associate) has put up. That's strange for a notable person.--Jack Upland (talk) 21:48, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can I add for clarification: I do not dislike Wales, or have anything against him. He seems amusing, but that's it...--Jack Upland (talk) 03:43, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discogs and MusicBrainz are simple listings and do not contribute to notability. Same for AllMusic and other sites if there is no review there. Discogs is also user generated, therefore it is not consider a reliable source per WP:RS. The Australian edition is a different album, and cannot be extended to this album. In any case, the Xpress magazine one is only a passing mention of the album where the artist talk about recording, and the Cairns Post one is also one where the artist talks about the recording.

Eoppa of Wessex

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:NOTGENEALOGY/WP:NOTINHERITED. The sum total of what is known about him is a set of old pedigrees that say Ine had a brother Ingold, Eoppa Ingolding, Eafa Eopping, Eahlmund Eafing, Ecgberht Ealmunding. (Ine had brother Ingold, Eoppa was son of Ingold, Eafa was son of Eoppa, Ealmund was son of Eafa, Ecgberht son of Eahlmund). We don't know a single biographical fact - the birthdate given on the page is made up and everything else on the page is just genealogical context for someone about whom nothing can be said other than genealogical context and we know one thing he wasn't - he doesn't appear on the list of kings. The page for his father already redirects to Ine of Wessex and that of his son already redirects to Ecgberht, King of Wessex. Surely it takes more than knowing someone had a father and a son and wasn't a king to justify a page. I would suggest a Redirect to List of monarchs of Wessex#House of Wessex family tree, or perhaps to Ecgberht. Agricolae (talk) 02:34, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into District; pace the adding of refernces, but I'm not sure those sources are all realible, and do not indicate that the subject deserves a stand-alone article. They also do not suggest that a MUD is found outside of the US (or possibly even Texas). As such, the information, such as it is is, would sit quite neatly in the US section of the parent article, which already states that "There are several types of districts in the United States"—of which a MUD is just one—and even goes on to acknowledge that there are "many types of special-purpose districts with limited powers of local government. School districts are the most common, but other types of districts include...utility districts" (my emph.)

I have no problems finding sufficient news coverage to meet WP:GNG: in addition to Duke and the Sounders, there are mentions alongside the New York Red Bulls U23s[19] as well as Planet Football and GoPlay Sports [20]. Additionally, due to his famous father, there has been (especially in Europe) curiosity and interest regarding his future football career, which in my humble opinion makes him more notable than the typical pro player who, as you correctly state, has not yet played a game - unless friendlies count?

Redirect to Jan Åge Fjørtoft#Personal life, which already outlines his almost non-existent career so far, although sourcing it would be nice. As confirmed by article's creator above, he hasn't played a pro game yet, so fails sport-specific notability, and I can find no evidence of enough non-trivial coverage in WP:RS independent of the subject to pass WP:BIO. Again, as noted by creator above, much of what there is hangs on his father's notability: see WP:NOTINHERITED. Possible search term, so redirect. If he makes a competitive appearance for the Sounders, all we have to is undo the redirection. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:54, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can live with that. I understand that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and though it seems unlikely that he'll not ever make a Sounders appearance, as you said, all it would take would be to undo the redirection in the event that he does pass nfooty. There are more than a few pages that currently link to the page, and it would be nice to have somewhere to go to - even if just a redirect - rather than nothing. Still would prefer to have the page and hoping that the additional coverage passes GNG! Tangyanzixuan (talk) 19:24, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Admittedly fails WP:NFOOTBALL but passes WP:GNG. Page creator has provided more sources, and I and other members of the football community have been aware of this young man's name for years independent of any Sounders association. The only reason he hasn't started professionally is because of MLS international roster slot rules, which while I understand is irrelevant to WP:NFOOTBALL is something that should be mentioned. It would be unfortunate to browse the pages that link to him and not be able to access more information, and as a user above states, he's a "possible search term."

The point you're missing is that none of these pages show any evidence of in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. Routine coverage – man scores goal in warmup match, fanpage says man with new club will probably mainly play in the reserve team, man gets pro contract with a quote from his youth club about the virtues of hard work – doesn't establish general notability. We can find 100s of namechecks for 1000s of budding footballers, but that's why we have notability criteria: to weed out ones that haven't yet done anything worth writing about in an encyclopedia. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:09, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Washington theropod

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Singular fossil fragment with no name, not even a nomen nudum. Singular fossils like this don't normally get articles and the similar article Australian Spinosaurid was merged into Spinosauridae on similar reasoning. Doesn't seem notable enough to merge into something such as theropod, though information from the study not mentioned in this article could be used for the Tyrannosauridae page.

Delete I'd say merge with Tyrannosauridae but the information contained in the article is, as you say, not notable for for inclusion there or in Theropod. Many discoveries on tyrannosaurids have been made over the years, being the first one in Washington doesn't make it worthy of inclusion in the Tyrannosauridae page, especially if it is only a partial femur with nothing significantly distinct about it. Probably not notable enough even for the Timeline of tyrannosaur research article. ▼PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 21:00, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - It seems that this is just barely not notable, considering the fact that it hasn't actually been identified (or described if it is a different species), and the news coverage around it was released practically the same day the paper was. Thus, since we don't really have enough information on it to really tell readers anything meaningful (except that it came from Washington, but this can be put in another article), this page should be deleted. RileyBugz^{私に叫ぼう}_私の編集 21:18, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep 'Angloposeidon' has been around for ages and has never gotten Afd'd despite arguably being less notable than both the Washington state theropod (being the only dinosaur from the state) and the Australian Spinosaurid, for both Washington state theropod and Angloposeidon, given there indeterminate positions, there isn't really a place to easily redirect either article, particularly for the Washington state theropod as there is no formation article associated with it, given this, I think the article should be kept for now. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:36, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Angloposeidon is a nomen nudum, and there's plenty of stub articles on those kept around; it has precedence. Fragmentary specimens with no names, contrarily, almost never get articles within Wikiproject Dinosaurs (with Joan Wiffen's theropod the only thing that comes to mind). Merge potential is something I mentioned above; it's not important enough to put the information in a different article anyways. Lusotitan (Talk | Contributions) 21:46, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's noteworthy enough to merge the info and the image into Tyrannosauroidea Hemiauchenia (talk) 09:55, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We don't even know that it's a member of Tyrannosauroidea. RileyBugz^{私に叫ぼう}_私の編集 20:49, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

RileyBugz to quote the papers abstract (emphasis added) "If the femur pertains to a tyrannosauroid, which seems likely given its size and the widespread occurrence of the group across Laramidia during Late Cretaceous times, then it would represent an earlier occurrence of large body size than previously recognized (complete femur length estimated at 1.2 meters)". IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 21:28, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean to contest my statement, or support it? Because I think that it clearly supports my statement (again, we don't know for sure that it is a tyrannosauroid). I wouldn't be totally against its possible inclusion, as long as it is emphasized that we don't know for sure of its potential placement within the aforementioned clade. RileyBugz^{私に叫ぼう}_私の編集 21:43, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete For all that I pottered around a bit originally to fix it up - the combination of unnnamed, unidentified, and fragmentary/unexceptional material makes this a bad candidate for an article, even if it is the first from the (geographically arbitrary) region. If a new genus or higher taxon comes of this, one could make a better case.

Comment. Another good merging candidate to sidestep the uncertain classification of the specimen would be a new fossil section in Geology of the Pacific Northwest. It's certainly of some sort of relevance that it's the first dinosaur fossil from the state, but not to the point of its own article. This is a page where it could fit in without seeming out of place or irrelevant. Lusotitan (Talk | Contributions) 21:13, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea! I think that if a merge is decided, then this is the article we should merge it to. RileyBugz^{私に叫ぼう}_私の編集 21:48, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up comment The main reason for people voting to keep is that the article is "notable", but it is not notable enough. A single fossil that has been published is not notable even if it is the only from a place. Otherwise we would have articles for individual teeth from Scotland, other states, a single bone here or there, etc, that have no purpose being here on Wikipedia. A single paper does not even make this bone notable in the larger scale, what can be discussed here (location and taxonomy) is just as easily placed on the article about its taxonomy, where only the location is then notable. Perhaps it was wrong to bring this to AFD, instead a RFC or merge discussion would have been better. This article clearly goes against guidelines for the WikiProject it falls under and if the verdict here is a default keep due to no consensus I believe we will end up back here again rather soon to get a consensus, in one form of discussion or another.

Semi-advertorial WP:BLP, written and sourced differently enough from the first version to not qualify for immediate speedy as a recreation of deleted content but still not sourced properly. This is following the "get the number of footnotes up as high as possible and hope nobody pays attention to the quality of them" approach to referencing (a thing we call notability bombing, and do not take kindly to) — of the 64 footnotes here, about 70 per cent of them are non-notability assisting primary sources and blogs and press releases and Q&A interviews in which she's the speaker and not the subject. Of the roughly 30 per cent that do actually represent media coverage, further, even a significant number of those are kneecapped by being internal corporate cross-promotion within the Corus Entertainment family rather than independent coverage, and still others just feature her giving soundbite in a story about something other than her, or being "covered" in the context of her wedding dress or her parenting tips for how to keep your kids from being spoiled brats. The number of sources here that actually represent indepentent WP:GNG-assisting reliable source coverage about her doing anything remotely relevant to a Wikipedia notability criterion is literally in the single digits, which is not enough coverage to excuse how bad the rest of the sourcing is.
And furthermore, this is a direct conflict of interest, as the article was created by a WP:SPA editor whose username corresponds to an employee of the public relations department of the article subject's company. As always, neither owning a company nor being a reality TV personality is an automatic notability freebie that exempts a person from having to be sourced much, much better than this — and even if she can be properly sourced as notable, we are not a free publicity platform on which she's entitled to make her staff write an article about her.

Hello is a gossip tabloid, not a reliable source, and both of the other two pieces you provided there are Q&A interviews in which she's speaking about herself rather than being objectively discussed in the third person (and one of those, further, is interviewing her in the context of her taste in interior design, not in the context of anything remotely relevant to whether she would qualify for an encyclopedia article or not.)

Keep. Hello doesn't make things up, as far as I can tell, unlike some supermarket tabloids. I think it has enough independence from the people it writes about to be considered, in general, a reliable source. The text in the first part of the Hello article before the Q-and-A transcript can be used to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:47, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Our reliable sourcing rules explicitly prohibit that kind of tabloid publication from being a reliable or notability assisting source, period — they don't differentiate between "tabloids that make stuff up" vs. "tabloids that don't make stuff up". There are people who believe what they see in Weekly World News, for instance (fake news is not actually a new thing!) — so even that distinction would lead to constant editwarring over which class of tabloid any given gossip sheet belonged to. The entire class of publication is simply deprecated as not notability-assisting or reliable at all. Bearcat (talk) 18:11, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources consist of links to pages of individual statistics and two articles mentioning her moving from her team in Norway to one in Spain. Hard to say that constitutes sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. As for WP:NSPORT, the basic criteria for any sport is playing at the highest level. Since she has never competed at a world championship or Olympics, this standard is not met. In fact, she has never played for the Norwegian national adult women's team and success as a junior is usually not considered sufficient for notability.

That is very aggressive reading of the basic criteria - they actually note that those who have performed at the highest level are likely to meet the notability criteria. That does not give a strict rule to the opposite Nosebagbear (talk) 20:27, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would say my interpretation is reasonable (and typical), not aggressive. My point is that she doesn't meet the SNG for sportspeople. That doesn't mean she can't be notable, it just means that WP:GNG is the criteria she needs to meet. I don't think articles about her changing teams are enough to do that. Papaursa (talk) 20:50, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Local/regional coverage about her single season for Spanish BM Remudas, little coverage about her years in Gjerpen IF. Fails WP:GNG/WP:BASIC, which is what WP:SPORTBASIC roughly translates to. Sam Sailor 16:45, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Papaursa, we already have dozens if not hundreds of handball biographies like this one. It doesn't make any sense to single this particular person out. --Trade (talk) 12:17, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid reason to keep this article. The relevant issue is whether or not this person meets any notability criteria and she doesn't appear to. None of the keep votes have shown evidence of a valid reason for keeping this article. If you don't want her singled out, feel free to nominate the other handball biographies you believe are equivalent. Papaursa (talk) 03:06, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep but this'll need some serious work. I took a look at HighBeam Research while doing my WP:BEFORE for this article, and found quite a bit about TechNet, specifying about the political organization. It looked to be more than just "they got this or that" as I went through the sources, and in my opinion there appears to be enough there to establish notability. That being said, this article may need some WP:TNT in order to get it right, so I have no prejudice against deletion and recreation at a later time by someone interested in writing about the subject properly.

Trench (album)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is not enough information to sustain am album article. The information in the article is about awards won by the previous album. No track listing. No studio name(s). No musicians. No producer(s). No audio engineer(s). No mixer(s). While WP:HAMMERTIME is only an essay, it applies. I'd also be fine with a locked redirect to keep the fans from creating a trivial article. I'd also be fine with a block for any editor who reverted the redirect if it lasts until the album is released. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NALBUM and several other sensible guidelines. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:56, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

With misinformation abounding, just one more reason to delete (or redirect) with a lock. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:56, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems kind of pathetic to want to delete a page for an album we lack information on when there are other pages just like it (example: The 1975's next album A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships, which similarly lacks a known track listing, producers, etc.). Just saying, my guy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.196.36.78 (talk) 02:44, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Why? It is a notable album, by a notable duo. Instead of blocking people ho created this article, in good faith, and deleting the article, we should keep it and let people improve the page. We are going to need to create an article for this eventually. It has plenty of background info, especially for an album that was just announced yesterday. Also, I hope you don't mean that I should be blocked. I just recreated the page, with more sources, and when it was redirected, I didn't revert the redirect. Bowling is life (talk) 03:43, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not a notable album as there's are no sources about the album itself. We are going to need to create an article for it but now, it's WP:TOOSOON. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:59, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'll step back from that comment and allow @Bowling is life: explain exactly which notability criteria the album currently meets. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:28, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Walter Görlitz: Well, WP:GNG says: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Google "Twenty One Pilots" or "Twenty One Pilots Trench" and you will see plenty of sources talking about this album. Since the album is getting significant media coverage and it is by a notable group, the article should be kept. Bowling is life (talk) 01:48, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - But that's the point, it's not getting significant coverage yet. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:10, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        Simple Google search: Billboard, Kerrang, Spin, Alternative Press, New York Times, Rock Sound, and Daily mail. That is not even close to all of the reliable sources tlking about this album. How is that not significant coverage? Bowling is life (talk) 02:21, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        That certainly is a lot of fluff, but I'm not going to be able to convince true fanatics that their band's album isn't notable so I'll make you a deal, I'll withdraw the nomination and I'll stop watching all of the band's articles to remove vandalism or you admit that there isn't enough information about the album itself to merit an album now (which is undeniable). Let me know. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:03, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm not a crazy TOP fan, don't associate me with their crazy fan base. I am just here to help. I'll work on the article as much as soon. We have a deal. Bowling is life (talk) 03:24, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I'd say it's pretty silly to continuously delete this album article, it currently has many notable sources and will obviously be built upon over time. Coda16 04:53, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
- What's silly is to continuously create an article without sources for a subject that fails any notability criteria, and to fill that article with information unrelated to it and claim that this information somehow makes the album notable. All the information in the article is in the band's bigoraphy article so no redirect is required anywhere. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:56, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Stepping back here and asking @EthanRossie2000: to indicate which of the sources actually discuss the album. I don't disagree that there are many sources in the article, but they discuss information about the band and the previous album, not this one. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:28, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable. The only news article I can find from a reliable source that mentions this album focuses on an arrest, and the album is only mentioned briefly in one sentence. The album did not receive critical attention or appear on any major music chart. Newslinger (talk) 08:34, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: fails WP:NALBUM. I assume the news source mentioned by the editor above is this one from the Daily Mail [32] which is not considered a reliable source for Wikipedia standards... and in any case, the article is nothing to do with the album. A redirect to Stevie B might be possible but obviously the Schwarzenegger films will be the main search term for The Terminator. Richard3120 (talk) 16:32, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Some of Stevie B's other albums have achieved notability but this one has not. I can find no reliable reviews, not even at AllMusic. The collaboration with Pitbull can be mentioned at Stevie B's main article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:35, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I found 2 newspaper sources mentioning the album in passing - predictably one of them being for the Pitbull/Stevie B single. Look let's be honest a comeback album by a 90s artist which fails to make a dent is not a great event, but it doesn't benefit the reader in any way at all to nuke or blank this kind of series article.

Merge with article on Stevie B. Vorbee (talk) 09:49, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Redirect~~ Delete No significant coverage, no chart entries, therefore no notability for the album. It is also not worth merging since it is mostly track listing, and track listing is not normally given in artist's article. I should also say that I don't mind it being deleted because as noted by Richard3120 people would more likely be looking for the film when searching the title, and this non-notable title would simply clutters the search.

Our notability criteria for mayors is not based on an arbitrary population cutoff — it's based on whether the sources enable us to write a substantive article (as opposed to just "he is a mayor who said something stupid once, the end".)
