Center for Pastor Theologians

Fails WP:NORG. Cannot find any SIGCOV - all the hits I see on Google are generated by the subject. The text states that the organization has a three-person staff. Rogermx (talk) 23:49, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, see this book review: [1], this journal article: [2], this book review: [3], this book: [4], this book: [5], and this magazine article: [6].--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 03:55, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- I am afraid that these sources are about their books, not the center itself. I don't see anything other than passing mention to the center itself in any of these references. However, I appreciate your research on this. Rogermx (talk) 20:36, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The magazine article is in-depth coverage from a third party source. It is not about advertising their books, either. As for the journal article, it goes over their last conference in some detail. It is also a third party journal. Another source that I did not mention before, is this one from tiu.edu, it goes into the history of the center's operation in some detail.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 00:41, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although it has been toned down considerably, it still comes off as WP:PROMO due to the multiple WP:COI editors. While that in itself is not a reason for deletion, I do agree that the stringent requirements of WP:NORG have not been met. Jmertel23 (talk) 23:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 06:39, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete based on the reasoning of Jmertel23. The promotionalism is undesirable but, even were it written in a strictly NPOV way, it wouldn't really seem to pass the basic requirements of WP:NORG. Wolfson5 (talk) 07:45, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - dubious of merits -- This seems to be a learned society with a journal, and holding an annual conference, but we have no article on the journal and no indication of how many attend the conference. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:54, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete this article was created by an SPA who previously created this article under Premjit Sen twice and was speedy deleted both times and Draft:Premjit Sen was rejected in AfC back in September. Pretty clear gaming of the system. Additionally, there is no indication of a GNG pass as he is not the focal point of the references used in this article.

Delete In my inexpert opinion, the only figures on the list who pass WP:GNG are Isildur and probably Elendil, and they are already listed at List of Middle-earth characters. Hog Farm (talk) 02:07, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, but I don't buy the nominator's rational. Per WP:LISTN: it is not a question of whether the individual list items are notable, but rather if the subject itself is notable (i.e. if the subject has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources). However, this topic shows no evidence of meeting this lower bar since there are no reliable independent sources. BenKuykendall (talk) 02:44, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete we should not be creating lists of fictional people when half or more of the list are never proper characters at all and some come from abandoned first drafts that an overly found of publishing son made available to the world.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:19, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Article fails notability as figures in the list are either fictional or are already in other lists Alex-h (talk) 10:49, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Every figure on this list is fictional. Although they have the draw back of not appearing in many works of fiction as actual characters.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Mostly non-notable fictional characters Dartslilly (talk) 01:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Númenór is part of the backstory of The Lord of the Rings, though the land has long since disappeared. It appears more prominently in The Silmarillion and other minor, posthumous works that never received the same popular or critical acclaim. Númenóreans are simply not notable.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:59, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of Middle-earth Elves

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

Delete as all of the important figures seem to be listed at List of Middle-earth characters. I would be fine with a very, very selective merge if an editor found somebody important I missed, but I think the list of Middle-earth characters hits all the important highlights. Hog Farm (talk) 01:54, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete These lists should be limited to actual characters, not people who have their name dropped once, somewhere, in some cases only in first drafts of stories that were never even close to publication.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:18, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This material would find a better home on a fan Wiki.TH1980 (talk) 22:59, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is a good list, and I'd hate to see it go, but it may be listcruft as discussed above. Which fan wiki could we migrate this list to? Ambrosiawater (talk) 02:18, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Many of these characters were actually published in major works like The Silmarillion, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. As to migrating the page, Tolkien Gateway is the most comprehensive topical wiki I know of, but unfortunately it comes only with a GFDL licence. So importing CC-by-licensed material over there may not work. De728631 (talk) 19:56, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Alternatively we may redirect to List of Middle-earth characters which includes those characters with a standalone article. De728631 (talk) 20:01, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment Two points: The Silmarillion is only major in the sense of its vast length (the concept was nowhere near completion when Tolkien died), and we need mentions in secondary sources in addition to the primary sources in order to demonstrate notability. Hog Farm (talk) 21:02, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with De728631.Halbared (talk) 22:18, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Middle-earth characters. This list is sourced entirely to primary sources, and any navigational purpose is better served by the main character list. Devonian Wombat (talk) 08:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, List of Middle-earth characters, no reason at all to have a separate list by race. ValarianB (talk) 15:09, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:01, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This topic is non-notable per the requirements of WP:LISTN. I don't think a merger to List of Middle-earth characters is appropriate. The entries of this list are either (a) non-notable, so ineligible for inclusion on List of Middle-earth characters, or (b) already included on List of Middle-earth characters. Further, I don't think a redirect would be useful. Deleting the page and simply removing the incoming wikilinks to List of Middle-earth Elves (most of which are section links to non-notable individuals) is a better solution. BenKuykendall (talk) 03:19, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect. List of trivial characters that most likely don't need to be merged, but redirecting on the off-chance there are some would be fine as well. TTN (talk) 12:47, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have added a number of sources that should establish this artist's notability. I would ask those who have already voted Delete to re-examine the article.Guinness323 (talk) 19:56, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The three new sources I can see appear to be either blogs or self published items. The Delta force one is just plain weird.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:50, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The sources I added are:
  - 1. Review of The Unspeakable Oath in Issue 201 of Dragon by Allen Varney, in which he specifically references the important role of Reynolds' illustrations.
  - 2. Acknowledgement by John Tynes, co-founder of Pagan Press and The Unspeakable Oath, on his website, of the quality of Reynolds' artwork.
  - 3. The foreword to Reynolds' short story "Operation LOOKING GLASS" in the anthology Delta Green: Intelligence: "A member of the original play test group that spawned Pagan Publishing, thirty-five-year-old artist/writer Blair Reynolds is known in the game industry for his excellent, meticulous, and unnerving paintings and illustrations. Blair has done work on Mega Traveller for Game Designers' Workshop and Digest Group Publications, as well as on Call of Cthulhu for Chaosium and Pagan Publishing. Recently, he established Room 308 Publishing, which has produced one ('Yeah," he says, "okay, one, shuddup!") horror graphic novel entitled Black Sands. He recently illustrated the entirety of The Realm of Shadows for Pagan. More than any other piece in this anthology, this effective story emphasizes the hazards of being a warrior against the entities of the Mythos. Be advised that this is a very explicit story."
  - 4. In Issue 232 of Dragon, Allen Varney confirmed that Reynolds was once again providing artwork for The Unspeakable Oath with the comment that "Of Reynolds' latest artwork [editor John] Tynes commented, 'My eyeballs bled.'"
  - 5. In Issue 249 of Dragon, Ray Winninger spends the first three paragraphs of his review of The Realm of Shadows specifically talking, not about the book, but about Reynolds' artwork.

Number 1, & Numbers 3–5 are RS. Since John Tynes is notable, I assume therefore that his personal website is also RS. I used a French role-playing games site, Le Grog, to confirm that Reynolds, through Games 308, published The Mysteries of Mesoamerica in 2008. It might not be RS, but I was not looking to confirm notability from that site, only confirmation of a stated fact.Guinness323 (talk) 03:48, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know you're making a good faith effort here, but the cover of "Delta Green Intelligence" sort of sinks any argument you might have for it being a reliable source when it says "As a training text for young mutants, I cannot recommend it too highly-- Lucius Sheperd". It also makes me doubt your other sources, which are already scraping the barrel of something or other.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:02, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I make no claims about the quality of the writing in the anthology Delta Green: Intelligence. It was written to satisfy a certain audience, mainly players of Call of Cthulhu, of which I am not one. I was more interested in the comments of the editors about Blair Reynolds. Nevertheless, perhaps not RS, but Dragon was the top-rated gaming magazine of its time, winner of numerous industry awards, using writers who are notable in their own right (Allen Varney, Ray Winninger, Rick Swan, Jim Bambra, Roger Moore, Chris Pramas, Bill Fawcett, to name a few); so the magazine is clearly notable, and clearly RS. I'm not certain how that qualifies as "scraping the barrel".Guinness323 (talk) 04:25, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They are all sources in niche or sketchy publications I have never heard of. I think the "training text for young mutants" quote sort of says it all. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:30, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"publications I have never heard of" has little or no bearing on whether a source is reliable. I have never heard of thousands of sources that are probably still reliable, and I imagine just about everyone could say the same. BOZ (talk) 04:47, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry but we will have to disagree on the quality of these meagre sources. Have a nice evening.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:03, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For future reference, the two non-blog publishers are Mongoose Publishing and TSR. Mongoose Publishing is an obscure gaming company. Meanwhile, TSR was the original publisher of Dungeons & Dragons. Neither of these two publishers are particularly reliable. We should not be using questionable sources in our biographies of living persons. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 20:04, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And their lack of reliability is determined in what way? BOZ (talk) 20:30, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid to say I think the comment that "Mongoose Publishing is an obscure gaming company" says it all about Susmuffin's knowledge (or lack of) of the subject! Mongoose is one of the largest RPG publishers in the world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:24, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per all above. Notable figure in the RPG industry. Whether non-RPGers have heard of him or the publications that mention him or not or deride the reliability of the latter is completely irrelevant. Most people are only experts in a handful of fields and wouldn't be expected to know much about other fields. That doesn't make the figures in them non-notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:32, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sources offered don't look good enough quality to source a BLP and don't indicate that this person is of any particular note. b uidhe 07:21, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Designers & Dragons is a critical history of role-playing games; this is exactly the kind of independent secondary source that we're supposed to be using to determine notability. I believe that the people in this discussion who are questioning the quality of this source have probably never read it, and are judging it based on their personal opinions of the topic. Dragon was an extremely well-respected specialty magazine, and doesn't become unreliable just because someone hasn't heard of it before. -- Toughpigs (talk) 00:11, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mark William Shaw

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

Non-notable author, fails both the basic requirements of WP:ANYBIO and WP:NAUTHOR. There is a dearth of persistent coverage in third party, independent reliable sources—in both the literature and news outlets—and there is no evidence (hence the unsourced tag that has sat on the page for 18 months) that he has has either been regarded as an important figure or widely cited by peers or successors. Nor is he known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. He has not created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work, and his books have not won significant critical attention. All of which is necessary to pass the SNG, and all of which the article fails to do. ——SN 54129 21:40, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete largely per nom. The subject is an author and conspiracy theorist who seems to have gained little notice or critical reviews from reputable sources. As far as I am able to tell none of their works are independently notable. The page has been unsourced pretty much since its creation, and prior to my stubbing it appears to have been a promotional vehicle for the subject, who also edited the article at various times. Article fails WP:BASIC, WP:V and WP:NOPROMO. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:21, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have a concern in that the article was essentially blanked and then less than an hour later was nominated for AFD. The AFD header states "the article must not be blanked." I believed the AFD process would look better if the article content was restored plus hatted with the AFD header and went ahead with that. I e-mailed the subject about the AFD and explained what he needs to show to establish notability (citing WP:AUTHOR, WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:BASIC, and WP:N). While he does not seem to be technically versed in Wikipedia I suspect he understands the general process of citations as he has a law degree and has written biographies of other people which I used to show how he is part of making those people notable. Hopefully he either knows of citations we can use or is agreeable to that he's not a notable subject. --Marc Kupper|talk 06:26, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I found this coverage of the subject based on the aftermath from this incident.
- He's had jobs and projects that put his name in the public eye, such as appearing as "Mr. Science" on fifty-two episodes of the Disney Channel program The Scheme of Things but I could not see that it lead to direct notability coverage. There are things such as this poster for sale on Amazon but they are promotional material connected to the subject. --Marc Kupper|talk 08:18, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Marc Kupper: Claims of concern at the article's so-called blanking (it wasn't) are unfounded as the material was removed with a comprehensive edit summary, viz Stubbing completely unsourced article per WP:V and CITE. Article has been tagged for more 18 months. Also removing list consisting entirely of non-notable books per WP:NOPROMO. At least two of those are direct policy-based concerns, and that is not including any potential BLP issues from uncited material in a biography. ——SN 54129 13:09, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, I have restored the reveted reversion. ——SN 54129 13:10, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You don't see reveted reversions restored that way very often. E Eng 13:27, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Generally I would agree with removing unsupported material that does not fit in with the overall narrative of the subject. This person's career has been far more than being an author. In this case, the article was blanked, or stubbed if you want to wikilawyer it, from 528 words covering much of his career to 15 words only mentioning the subject "is the author of more than 20 books."

Less an hour later the article was nominated for AFD. That seems in violation of the spirit of AFD which lets people see an article about a subject, despite how poorly it was sourced, while researching/debating the subject's notability. That's why I restored the more complete article and still advocate that it be restored. Should it be sourced? Absolutely, but that's not grounds for AFD much less deletion.

It'll hurt your eyes and brain to read but this version of the article from 2009 is nearly 2000 words long and shows several times in his life where he may have attracted verifiable WP:N coverage. I'm not advocating keep because we need to show that the subject is notable. The non-stubbed article gave areas of where people can look for evidence of WP:N. The hard to read 2009 version has more, including the subject's involvement in an incident that lead to Bob Knight finally being fired. Google then easily found one piece of possibly WP:N qualifying coverage here. Google also found that he did indeed seem to be the host of a television show though we need a better source than a poster for sale on Amazon. Being the host of a television show is not in itself WP:N worthy but it shows that the guy was in the public eye enough that there may well be WP:N qualifying coverage. If it's a "keep" it's likely going to be because of multiple incidents of non-substantial coverage, which WP:BASIC allows for. --Marc Kupper|talk 20:19, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article borders on promotionalism except when we do the needed limit to reliable sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:16, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Marginal keep Besides the earlier cited WP:GNG qualifying August 2011 article in the The Star-Ledger I have found this which was published in the September 2001 Indianapolis Monthly and both covers the subject and his opinions/thought about an event.

Both articles are WP:GNG qualifying for WP:BASIC with the August 2011 article tilting per WP:N as was written it's nine years later, and updated another eight years later, and thus meeting the "and over a period of time" part of WP:N. It's a marginal-keep in my mind as just two sources have been found and the coverage largely sprung from a WP:1E that the subject was not directly involved with.

I have asked the subject if there's more coverage but so far he's not willing to be specific in citing sources we can use. He's frustrated with Wikpedia due to his earlier run-ins with Ad Orientem who is also participating in this AFD.^{[See Kilgallen, sockpuppet, disruptive, and complaint on the help desk]} --Marc Kupper|talk 20:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to off on a tangent as it doesn't directly bear on whether or not the article should be kept. However, I do sadly have to admit that I and multiple other editors have had some bumps with Mr. Shaw over his use of the encyclopedia to promote his books as well as various fringe theories mostly relating to the death of Dorothy Kilgallen. (A handful of others have also been involved in the WP:PROFRINGE pushing there.) The latter issue in particular has been the subject of seemingly endless discussion/drama at WP:FTN and Kilgallen's article talk page. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep John Pack Lambert , isn't the question supposed to be, "Do such sources exist?", not "Are there such sources within the article?" (did you do a Google search on her? What did you find?). And Atlantic306: Passing WP:NACTOR or any other guideline is only a measure of inclusion, not exclusion, and NOT meeting a guideline is not usually grounds for deletion. The question, as I understand it, is this: is the subject covered non-trivially in multiple reliable independent published sources (whether or not included in the actual article)? Did either of you check this? If you did, I think you might be surprised! Also: isn't the Hollywood FAME award evidence of her notability? Also, consider this article on her. A loose necktie (talk) 01:15, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @A loose necktie: I see that you created this article. If you are aware of other reliable sources with coverage about this person, it would be useful if you could add them to the article, or at least add links here, rather than saying we might be surprised if we checked. I have been trying to check, and so far I have not found a great deal. In 1997, the Los Angeles Times said that she "made a valiant reading of the difficult Menotti aria" in a performance called "Haunted Cabaret" [8]; in 2004, she was a member of a satirical anti-Bush group Billionaires for Bush [9]. Neither of those contributes to notability. This article [10] in International Musician is the most significant coverage I've found. I am not sure that it would count as independent, though, as the article is a "Member Profile", indicating that Linhardt is a member of the association of which this is the official journal. However, it gives some information about her education ("graduated in music and vocal arts from the University of Southern California", though with no dates), and some of the groups she has performed in, places she has appeared, etc, which could be (1) added to the article and (2) used in searches to find additional information. She has performed in Germany, so there may well be more German sources. It's not clear that Skope magazine, which has the article you linked to above, is a reliable source, and the article seems rather promotional and makes rather exaggerated, unsubstantiated claims (eg "Her “Classics To Cabaret” show is a favorite among European Royalty and diplomats"). Some of the info in it could be used to search for additional sources, though. As notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, it is not relevant to her notability to mention that she met famous people. So far I am not seeing enough coverage or enough notable performances for her to meet notability guidelines - it would be helpful if you could add more independent, reliable sources.

Which they are not, of course! They are part of the LA Music Awards as the Hollywood Film, Art, Music, and Entertainment awards. Thank you for changing your vote. A loose necktie (talk) 13:18, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, A loose necktie. The International Musician profile I had already linked to above - it's a member profile, so not independent. The University of Southern California notice is not independent either, as she studied there. The Hollywood FAME award does not seem to be notable itself, so is not an indication of notability for her. The articles in the Press page of the Circus Sanctuary website do appear to be independent and reliable, and should be added as individual references to the article, with the information they contain. They may be enough for her either to meet WP:GNG, or to show that she meets one or more criteria of WP:MUSICBIO, but at the moment, it's not enough to show that sources exist, as there is no clear claim of notability as recognised by Wikipedia notability guidelines. If this AfD is not relisted, I would suggest that this article be draftified, so that the information and sources can be included. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:23, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There definitely seem to be enough independent sources to qualify as notable under GNG. I don't agree that "International Musician" is not an independent source, the profile is a news article in the official journal of an 80,000 member union, this does not constitute a "close affiliation". I'll try to incorporate some of the additional sources into the article in the next day or so.

Delete - The test for notability for companies/organizations (and not the founder or any connected persons) as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. None of the sources passes the test, most are interviews with the founder Janice Bryant Howroyd who already has an article and the information about the company is already contained therein. As such, this topic fails WP:GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:53, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You need to explain to your client that existence is not sufficient to be notable on Wikipedia.

Britishfinance (talk) 12:28, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Explain to my client? I’m sorry I’am Princeton Coleman aka yuni wa. Here is a major problem you are not understand. The definition of no·ta·bil·i·ty is the fact or quality of being notable or being known. You are calling my very real YouTube statistics fake and you are ignoring that I’ve been featured on one of the biggest music media companies to date (Elevator Mag) I’ve been nominated for best electronic producer/Dj by the Arkansas times. Named one of the top visionary Arkansans for the year of 2017 by the Arkansas times. I was literally even on the vice website for production credits that I have with someone that is signed to mass appeal records. Who are you and why are you out right disregarding the proof that is right there. The fact you are saying I have “YouTube hits” and fake statistics is extremely disrespectful and you are mishandling your job greatly and you are treating this situation poorly. Notability is being well known, you are disregarding the well known songs I have on YouTube, SoundCloud, and Spotify. Actually since you think my YouTube stats are fake you know I’m doing 42k monthly on Spotify right? If you keep disregarding the information I will simply go out my way to inquire further and possibly see to it that you lose your job doing this because this is disrespectful to everything I’ve worked for specially since I actually do meet the notability requirements. You need to do your research. Also I never said my existence was sufficient for a page I’m literally a well known music producer and you are ignorant to that.

You have a prodigious talent for Wikipedia producing an article of that quality on your 2nd edit; if the music business does not work out, you have a future here, although creating your own BLP is a WP:COI.

Delete - The above discussion has revealed that the article was created by the musician himself, and while conflict of interest is certainly relevant, the gentleman simply does not understand that Wikipedia is not a promotional service but instead provides information on people, things, and events that have become items of general knowledge. This requires evidence of significant media coverage in reliable sources, and quantities of YouTube views and Instagram shares won't cut it. The musician has self-released a lot music that has been largely ignored by the media and has produced some other people who are themselves non-notable. Sorry, but come back after you get noticed by reliable critics and people outside of your own social media. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 22:04, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Absent very good coverage about the person, articles about record producers are almost always deleted, because they are plainly run of the mill. Any person over the age of seven can post a video on the Internet or spin a record, and get millions of followers. We could excuse noobies in 2009, but not in 2019; everyone has known for years that Wikipedia is not for self-promotion and that as a charity governed by New York laws, we and Letitia James enforce notability standards and punish self-dealing.

Argentine units of measurement

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

Another article based almost entirely on the very bad Cardarelli source and the equally bad Washburn and Clarke books. Furthermore, all these supposedly "national" units of measurement were actually imported from Spain when Argentina was a Spanish colony. Thus, I am unconvinced that this is an actual topic. Units of measurement used by the native inhabitants of the area would be a different matter but I can't find any good sources on that topic. Reyk _YO! 12:06, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. The sources aren't reliable, and even supposing we could turn up better references describing specifically Argentine variants of units used much more widely, that would hardly merit a dedicated article. Such hypothetical variants could be fit more usefully in Spanish customary units, for example. Pre-colonial systems of measurement would be more interesting, but I'm not sure they should be called Argentine (that's a bit like calling the Haudenosaunee Confederacy part of the United States). XOR'easter (talk) 17:25, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - When this was last discussed the evidence that the Cardelli reference was bad turned out simply to be some issues over Japanese units, and in fact Cardelli is supported as a good source by numerous other reliable sources. The same goes for Washburn and Clark. The deletion rational here appears to be that all the references are bad, but this is not substantiated. The article itself gives reasons as to why these units are not the same as Spanish customary units (because they varied regionally - similarly to the way in which US gallons are not the same as Imperial ones). Hence units are given here used in Buenos Aires that differ from the customary units of Spain. And here also. And also here. And here as well. Wow here too. Double Wow - here's an entire 1939 research paper on Argentine and other South American customary units. As with the previous discussion about the unit Stueck, I think there is an argument that perhaps these units should all be merged at a particular level (e.g., into a wider list), but in this case this has already happened (they are merged at the country-level), and I think this avoids WP:DICDEF issues.

EDIT: given the number of references there are in this case findable via a simple GBooks search I'm also going to say this is a pretty obvious WP:BEFORE failure. FOARP (talk) 12:59, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The NIST "endorsement" of Cardarelli was one line in an FAQ webpage from 2004, hardly the in-depth evaluation that the previous AfD sold it as. XOR'easter (talk) 16:56, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Whereas the "evidence" that Cardelli (and Washburn, and Clarke, and...) is bad is basically editor chit-chat. Meanwhile one of the main claims made by the nom (no such thing as Argentine units) turns out to be demonstrably untrue based on the above sources, and people have been talking about Argentine units for decades before Cardelli was published. FOARP (talk) 08:38, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I resent that claim. I have spent quite a lot of time looking at various bits of the Cardarelli book, using reason, intelligence, and, yes, your precious "sources" (I have checked against standard reference works, in other words). Your view appears to be that the mindless copying of confusion, inaccuracy, and plain nonsense from "proper printed books" is to be regarded as superior to actually critically looking at claims. Of course Cardarelli's book is WP:RE-"LIE"-ABLE, but it, or rather, the part of it (not endorsed at all by NIST, or anyone else) relating to historical units is by and large an uncritical and careless scraping of much older books (by Clarke and others) many of whose confusions might be forgiven at that time. Even so, I have pointed out that Basil Hall Chamberlain managed a vastly more competent treatment of Japanese unit after Clarke but a long time before Washburn. Again, I have to point out that many careless errors and confusions have been found in Cardarelli which have nothing to do with Japanese units in particular. (Stupping tons, Pittsburgh=Petersburg confusion, etc etc). Imaginatorium (talk) 09:26, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, before simply saying that Cardelli is bad the nom might have looked to see whether Argentinian units actually exist - and the evidence seems pretty conclusive that they did. FOARP (talk) 20:56, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen Cardarelli's later book but his earlier one is a mess. I've found Koizumi Kesakatsu to be much more reliable, and not only for Japanese units. I don't have immediate access to Koizumi's Zukan: Tan'i no rekishi-jiten (i.e. "An illustrated historical dictionary of units") but I do have on my lap my copy of the 4th edition (1981) of his Tan'i no jiten (i.e. "Dictionary of units"). Koizumi writes in the latter (for the three units I bothered to look up), that the frasco was specifically Argentinian, that the vara was multinational, and that the Mass was Austrian. So the content of this article isn't all wrong, or even all misleading. But it's unreliable, as any article on obsolete units must be if based on Cardarelli. An additional problem is that -- to me, at least -- it's intermittently incomprehensible. For example, Even in 1920 (after the adoption of metric system), units like vara (0.866 m), pie (0.289 m) libra (0.4595 kg) and tonelada (918.8 kg) were still used by mixing the values of the Spanish terms of metric and English units (e.g. vara for meter) by showing the requirement to avoid mixing of terms in old system and metric system and English system. This led to a mixed system of units after adoption of the metric system. I've now read this four times but I can only start to guess at what it means. Delete it; don't rush to delete a replacement by somebody who demonstrably (i) knows something about metrology, (ii) reads Spanish, (iii) has access to an academic library that's strong in Spanish, (iv) has the regular editorial superpowers -- though I'd guess that a redirect to something like "Non-metric units in South America" or "Obsolete units in South America" would be better. -- Hoary (talk) 14:49, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hoary, old chap, I think you must be looking at a historical version. The incoherent bit was written by now-gone user Shevonsilva, and the Austrian units were where the same Shevonsilva accidentally copied Cardarelli's list of the next entry to Argentina in alphabetical order. Both have gone now. Imaginatorium (talk) 15:35, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oopsie, I really must be careful when browsing the interwebs with PrecatastropheZilla (select names of charlatans/narcissists; view the world as it was before they assumed power). I'll have to think about this, and pontificate afresh. Meanwhile, do we have reason to doubt Koizumi's indication that the frasco was specifically Argentinian? -- Hoary (talk) 23:52, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes: according to wiktionary "frasco" is a Spanish (as well as the more obvious Portuguese) term for "bottle". It's not really a unit, just a word for a container that might have had a specific connotation in Argentina (but might not). Imaginatorium (talk) 03:49, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Koizumi writes フラスコ frasco (種)体積　アルゼンチン固有の単位、2.51米クォート、2.09英クォートまたは2.375l. -- Hoary (talk) 06:58, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This seems similar,again, to the discussion over "Stuck". The mere fact that something means something in a particular language does not prevent it also being a unit of measurement. FOARP (talk) 21:29, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but there are "genuine" units, like feet or picometres, then there are "containers-used-as-units", whether sacks, bottles, or words like "load". These may have conventional sizes associated with them, but anything written in ignorance of the fact that they are also containers should not really be accepted on its own. I really wonder if Koizumi, for example, realises that frasco is another Spanish word for bottle. And, FWIW, this really is not comparable to stuck, which is an abbreviation of an Anglicisation of a German word, Stückfaß", which is a type of wine barrel.

Delete : Wikipedia would be very slightly better without this "article". I can imagine a real article on the use of Spanish units in South America, but it would include reference to at least one work of scholarship (probably in Spanish) on the topic. The problem with all the references cited is that while they are PPBs ("proper printed books"), they are all collections of anecdotes, of varying levels of reliability. Going back to the earlier historical sources, people like Washburn were obviously not actually experts in the culture of almost all of the countries they were listing units for; they did their best with what they could find on the Internet. Oh, wait a minute, whatever people used before the Internet. And the proposer is right that there are not any Argentinian units; these are (Spanish) units which were used in Argentina (and I think this is actually what all of the sources say). The current title is either inaccurate if it is using "Argentine" as an adjective, or ungrammatical if using it as a noun. Imaginatorium (talk) 06:56, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm struggling to assess all of the sources, even with Google translate, but I'm not seeing evidence of passing GNG.

Keep or Merge. The basic structure of this article was partly modeled on similar articles like Earliest serving United States senator. These articles contain very similar information and have not been nominated for deletion. Again, with the respect, as I said in deletion discussion of the inverse of this page, obviously not enough research was done to establish the sources of information I used to create this page; of course it didn't fully originate on wikipedia. Using the automatically generated find sources template that searches for the title of the page is obviously not going to find anything useful; this information is rare, and if it did exist in this form, it is highly likely that the title would not be the exact same. I'm sure you used other sources, but simply searching from the title is not enough to assert that it fully originated on wikipedia. I used hansard lists, the individual pages of MPs listed, the trove archive, and 'https://australianpolitics.com/parliament/house/surviving-members'. I agree, this information is hard to find elsewhere. I was honoured to be thanked by Ivar the Boneful (talk) after creating this page. This user has been contributing countless useful contributions to Australian politics articles for several years, and has become a well-established authority on Australian politics pages. Although I don't want to speak on his behalf, I believe his thank was a sign of approval from another Australian politics editor. I put lots of work into this article and its twin Senators article; I humbly ask that if deletion does take place, the information is moved elsewhere, I do believe that some researchers or people who need to find related information can quickly use this reliable source.

Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I honestly can't make head or tail of how to interpret what's in this article, and the explanation by the creator above isn't very helpful. Nick-D (talk) 02:56, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Nick-D (talk), I see this may be another issue with the article. The articles nominated for deletion list surviving MPs with the earliest date of election

(eg if there were two former MPs living in Australia, one MP [A] elected in 1950, and another [B] elected in 1960, A would be listed in the pages, because she was elected earlier than any other living former MP. I did find it difficult to find the right wording for these pages)

The second table is much simpler and lists living former MPs by date of election.

The third table is also simple and lists the last members of government ministries who were alive.

This article is useful for determining the oldest living former MPs and is hard to find anywhere else.SpaceFox99 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:27, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question SpaceFox99. Before I !vote, what is this information ever actually used for and who uses it? I find the first "definition" out right confusing, and in any case most of these people are not living, they are dead. Aoziwe (talk) 06:43, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Aoziwe. I tried to simplify this page in my earlier comment. If you wish, I can try again. The page's concept is nearly identical to this one Earliest serving United States senator. SpaceFox99 (talk) 08:39, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I just do not get it at all. What are the pages trying to achieve apart from convolution? Who will read and use the content and for what purpose? Aoziwe (talk) 11:33, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Aoziwe. The page is obviously not trying to “achieve convolution”. The page lists the living MP with the earliest date of election.This enables people who are trying to find:

•tenure records for politicians,
•historical information on Australian politics,
•the oldest living Australian politicians (eg in one source rather than individually checking each page of elected MPs.
•who is living from particular governments
•who is living from particular ministries
•who is living from particular elections
•former MPs who are living

This data can be used by researchers, casual readers, political researchers, publishers (in conjunction with other sources). It could be repurposed for key information (eg XX was the last surviving member of the XX parliament) or transformed into another data source (eg similar table)
The second and third tables are very simple to understand and far from convolute. I can see the difficulty behind the first table; however, other pages have this list for their respective countries. I believe the first table has justification for deletion, however I believe the last two tables (especially the second one) should be moved if this occurs. SpaceFox99 (talk) 12:30, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but sorry again, but what do they do with knowing who is the last surviving member of a ministry? Why is the last surviving member any more important or interesting than any other member of a given ministry? This still looks like random statistical trivia to me? Also, what is so special about the "40" in 'who were elected over 40 years ago'? Why not 30 or 50? Also, what is so special about "50" in 'ministries up to 50 years ago'? Why not 40 or 60? This all seems rather arbitrary? Aoziwe (talk) 13:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aoziwe, they are all fair points. Im sorry to keep relying on the American article, but is that article justified if this one isn’t? It seems that the US and UK have vast arrays of political and tenure data that are considered ‘trivial’ by Australian editors; there is a much lower (I won’t use the word lack) amount of data about MPs, classifications and tenures in Australian pages. If you are the last living member of something (especially political), you are notable (Wikipedia has a whole page dedicated to the last living members of events). Also, if the individual pages of these MPs state they were the last living member of X, why are those statements not trivial and deleted?
The reason for the particular number of people listed is not very strong; it’s simply because the closer you get to the current date, the more MPs there are to list. This being a new article, I expected some time in the future that some user would help me expand on it and possibly bring the list closer to a closer date if not the present; this article isn’t even a week old. The amount of MPs elected at the 1969 election is far less than those who were elected in 1980, for example. SpaceFox99 (talk) 13:57, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. Sorry but I have gone for delete below. Aoziwe (talk) 04:32, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If making the list requires you to set up and code a spreadsheet on your own, because the list hasn't already been compiled by outside sources, then by definition you're doing original research — and the US list should most likely be deleted as well on the same grounds, but per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS the fact that it hasn't already been deleted does not justify this list in and of itself. The reason such information tends to be hard to find is because it has no inherent value in the first place — identifying who was the first holder of any given political role to still be alive today is not a thing people need at all, because "earliest living" confers no special status on former politicians over and above other former politicians. If the information had any value at all, then the list would have already existed somewhere, and could have just been copied wholesale without having to fire up Excel to figure it out yourself — the fact that such outside sources don't exist is because people don't need the information at all. Speaking as a Canadian, we've ended up with a lot of pointless content that had to be deleted, solely because somebody decided that Canada has to comprehensively replicate every "List of X" that the United States has, even if the topic has no actual meaning or relevance or applicability in Canada at all. Bearcat (talk) 14:38, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Bearcat, the data exists, already compiled, here: ‘ https://australianpolitics.com/parliament/house/surviving-members’. Being the most senior or oldest does matter; nearly all major Prime Minister/leader pages list ‘former XXs’. I believe the data does have relevance , as I was thanked by another Australian user, but that seems to be one part of the crux of the issue of deletion of this article.

Delete The test is not merely for "independent sources". The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". Also, "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. Also, although the company is listed on the JSE, as per WP:LISTED this does not automatically confer notability. We need sources.
- This from Business Live is based on "commentary" released by the CEO. Other comments are attributed to anonymous "market watchers". This article is neither significant not contains Independent Content, fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND
- This from IOL has no attributed journalist and is entirely based on an announcement from the company containing no Independent Content, fails WP:ORGIND
- This is a standard info sheet from the stock exchange and is not significant coverage, in-depth or containing Independent Content, fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:SIGCOV and WP:ORGIND

Keep it is notable in Australia and New Zealand maybe not the rest of the world but it's here — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.197.68.2 (talk • contribs)

It's not even a notable title in Australia and NZ. You look at the biggest names coming out of that part of the world at the moment – the Moloney brothers, Jeff Horn, Michael Zerafa, Joseph Parker, Junior Fa – all opt for regional titles from the four major organisations.

The result was delete. By about 2 to 1, people here think that this theory should not be covered in its own article. As concerns the strength of the arguments made, I think that it is not very high on both sides. The "keep" side rather perfunctorily asserts that sufficient sources exist, but mostly without discussing them or their merits. The "delete" side mostly argues that the theory has no merit, which may well be the case, but is not relevant for its notability: we have many articles about notable pseudoscience or fringe theories. This seems to be a bit of a borderline case. But I'm most persuaded by the comments by Buidhe, who it seems has been one of few editors to examine the sources in some detail. They first advocated keeping this article, and then, after some reflection, advocated deleting it, concluding - without being rebutted - that "sources discussing this aren't even talking about the same thing, making it very difficult to write an article". On that basis, I think we can find consensus to delete both on grounds of numbers and strength of argument. Sandstein 09:05, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. From WP:NFRINGE:
The notability of a fringe theory must be judged by statements from verifiable and reliable sources, not the proclamations of its adherents. Additionally, the topic must satisfy general notability guidelines: the topic must receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
The subject meets GNG considering only independent sources that do not support the theory. In addition to the sources cited in the article, see also [23], [24] , [25] (non-opinion news article), [26] (column by the leader of Facts and Logic About the Middle East). Hen Mazzig claims that "Every year, in the days leading up to Christmas, the “Jesus was a Palestinian” talking point surfaces off- and online." b uidhe 22:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  On the other hand, I'm not seeing a good merge target. I don't think Race and appearance of Jesus would be a good fit because the debate is not about Jesus' race or appearance, but his nationality and religion. And this is a fringe theory confined to a small part of the Christian world, so it wouldn't be suitable to cover it much at all in the main article on Jesus.

Delete. Irreparable rubbish. The whole article and many of its "sources" rely on the false assumption that one can't be both Jewish and Palestinian at the same time. This is not the view of any major Palestinian organization past or present. Actually the claim "Jesus was a Palestinian" means "Palestinians have deep roots here", which is exactly why the claim is upsetting to people who deny that Palestinians exist and have a past. As it stands, this article is just an attack on Palestinians sourced to their enemies, without any sign of balance. A lot of the sources are unreliable opinion pieces presented as facts.

I do not like it but Keep -- If this is the propaganda that prominent Palestinian politicians are propunding, it needs an article, which should end off with a rebuttal explaining the orthodox Christian response.

Galilee is part of the area claimed by the Palestinians as Palestine and was so called for many centuries. Some of the Galileans may not have been ethnic Hebrews, but converted under the Maccabees. However the testimony of the New Testament is that Jesus was a Jew and descended from King David. In saying anything else, those Muslims claiming otherwise are propounding an unhistorical view.

The view ultimately depends on how you identify someone as a Palestinian in the period when there were still Jewish states in the region. This is perhaps derived from an ancient Muslim equivalent of WP:OR. I may add in passing that Palestine is cognate with (and perhaps derived) from Philistine, a pagan nation occupying the southern coastal plain of Palestine/Israel, including Gaza. The expansion of the scope of the name is probably a result of the removal of the Jewish population after the last Jewish rebellion in about AD 135. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:00, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I've checked all the sources that had links, but only one source actually had the term "Palestinian Jesus". It was Will Stalder's source from Google books. I need special access to Fishman-Duker, Rivkah source (I think it was written by Susannah Heschel), so I can't verify it. The article seems to be built mainly upon a compilation of different news sources that basically argue the ideal Jesus was a Palestinian, but it never discusses the term itself, history or its use etc. Rather, some of the sources are supporting different events under the "Proponents" section of the article, but Wikipedia is not the news per WP:NOTNEWS violation.

Comment I am undecided here, as I have always enjoyed the rather absurd debate around this question. I suggest we decide on the basis of the WP:THREE criteria.

But these are two books on modern Anti-Zionism (Meir Litvak and Gershon Nerel [the latter is being quoted by Stalder]), and one junior lecturer in a book review? For this to be a credible article, we need to use scholars of Jesus (e.g. Jesus#Bibliography) and scholars of the name Palestine (e.g. Timeline_of_the_name_"Palestine"#Bibliography). Onceinawhile (talk) 22:50, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's no question that the topic isn't a notable facet of biblical scholarship. The debate is whether it's a sufficiently notable part of modern Anti-Zionism. --RaiderAspect (talk) 03:45, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@RaiderAspect: agreed. Per footnote 1, it's entirely normal course to use the term Palestinian for Jesus in biblical scholarship. This article however appears to be entirely focused on attacking Anti-Zionism, as are the proposed three key sources, such that all three neglect to mention the normal course nature of the term in biblical scholarship. Onceinawhile (talk) 08:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Onceinawhile: you're right about the usage of Palestinian in biblical scholarship as shorthand for "First-century Levant". But that's not a difficult problem to fix; we can hatnote it, or footnote it, or mention it in the test, or rename this article. The question is whether the underlying topic discussed in the article is notable. --RaiderAspect (talk) 09:37, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is not enough support for this fringe theory to justify an article. I also have to bang my head at lines like "Some Galileans may have been converts under the Maccabees". Besides the fact that this would contradict the Davidic descent of Jesus documented in the New Testament, it also strikes me as confusing ethnicity with a much more modern idea of race. Jesus may well have had some ancestors who only coverted to Judaism at the time of the Maccabees, he does have documented convert to Judaism ancestresses (Ruth and Rahab). However even if 90% of his ancestry converted to Judaism under the Maccabees that would not change him from being a Jew. This is a new variation of antisemitism, and while it might be a documentable phenomenon, it is clearly not one that merits an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:09, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a Fringe theory. In the time of Jesus, residents of historic Israel were described as Galileans, Samaritans, Romans, Jews, Greeks and so forth - but there was no evidence of anyone being called a "Palestinian" in that era.

@NotButtigieg: see Timeline_of_the_name_"Palestine"#Roman_Jerusalem_period. Many of Jesus's contemporaries, including Jews (Philo and Josephus) used the term. Onceinawhile (talk) 17:00, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have demonstrated only that Romans used Palestine and Palestinian to refer to a geographical region. This is NOT the same as using it as an ethnonym, as is done in the term "Palestinian Jesus."NotButtigieg (talk) 20:22, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ovid is recorded using it more than once as an ethnonym around 8 AD. Later Greek authors did too (e.g. Zosimus, and the great Suda encyclopedia). None of this changes the underlying debate here; I am setting this out just for the record. Onceinawhile (talk) 22:40, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ovid, like other writes in the Roman period, used Palestinian to identify the geographical region of origin , not the ethnicity of individuals.NotButtigieg (talk) 08:02, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ovid, Metamorphoses: "Latin: occidit et Celadon Mendesius, occidit Astreus matre Palaestina dubio genitore creatus" (translation: "There fell also Mendesian Celadon; :::::::::No, because there was no Palestinian ethnie; all that Ovid states here is that , too, whose mother was a Palestinian, and his father unknown") in Book V, 144-145

Onceinawhile (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, because there was no Palestinian ethnie; all that Ovid states here is that is that Astreus' mother was form Palestine. It is as though I stated that your mother was European. Such information would accurately tell us where your mother is from, but not whether she is Pomak, Fleming or Catalan, Roman Catholic or Lutheran.NotButtigieg (talk) 12:27, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We are off topic, but for the record, the language and grammar used by Ovid is exactly the same as that used by classical authors to describe all ethies. And ethnies (modern or classical) are imagined communities; to use your example, some people do consider themselves to be of "European ethnicity", just as members of the same family could reasonably choose to consider themselves "Yoruba" or "Nigerian" or "African". You seem to be applying double standards to Palestine. And we have strayed well into WP:OR. Onceinawhile (talk) 13:17, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is hardly novel or original to state that a Palestinian ethnie first came into existence in the 20th century. And that there is zero evidence of such an ethnie in the 1st century, when the Roman province of Palestine had Samaritans, Jews, Greeks, Romans - but no Palestinian ethnie.NotButtigieg (talk) 14:01, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Palestinian Jesus" is an incoherent term that has been used intermittantly by activists and politicians to claim that "Jesus was an Islamic martyr" [27], that Jesus was a Muslim Palestinian [28], or that he was in some sense an ethnic Palestinian (although "Palestinian" is an ethnonym and ethnic identity created in the 20th century.)

The topic barely even exists. I'll take the topic as defined by the first sentence: "Palestinian Jesus is the idea that Jesus was not a Jew, but instead a Palestinian Arab." The first thing to make clear is that neither the article as it stands, nor any of sources given in the article, actually quote anyone claiming that Jesus wasn't Jewish. In other words, the article hasn't even established that it is about a topic that exists. The actual story is that some people deny that Palestinians can be Jewish, so when Jesus is called Palestinian they claim that his Jewishness is being denied (even when he is explicitly called a Palestinian Jew). Of course there probably have been people making the stupid claim that Jesus wasn't Jewish, but by now someone ought to have found at least one example significant enough to support notability.

Keep Sharing of surnames is purely coincidental. In any case, even though this chap might only have received one award, it is not insignificant: the SJA awards are the closest thing to a Pulitzer/George Polk for sports journalism in the UK. Perhaps the only award series which prompts scores of entries from all national newspapers. Winning an award at the SJAs is considered the gold standard in the industry.

Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions

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

While Jeopardy! is a widely notable television show and part of pop culture, an largely unreferenced article about a two-week-long tournament every season does not meet WP:N. Google search produces links back to this article, the production website, news stories about the most-recent winner James Holzhauer (who on his own meets WP:N), and external Wiki fandom sites. The list of contestants, which makes up an overwhelming portion of the article, is essentially WP:LISTCRUFT. Subject is adequately covered in List of Jeopardy! tournaments and events.

Redirect per WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:ROUTINE. This article is by all rights a mere extension of what's already covered in this section. Furthermore, 80% of the article is made up of just lists of mostly non-notable people which makes the article even cruftier. The subject of this AFD is in its entirety just a bunch of fancruft that has no business being an encyclopedia article. There's absolutely nothing in this article that's stated that's anymore noteworthy than if a local news station reported "Hey, someone from Paducah appeared on Wheel of Fortune". The AFD wolves target pages like these for a reason and that's because pages like these are the ones that tend to get the most out of control as far as getting ballooned with a monstrosity of useless and unnecessary content.

A simple description of the tournament's format and the typical pool of entrants is sufficient (and this is provided on the intended redirect target). The rest of the page is a list of contestants who have appeared on the tournament since it began. This violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:LISTCRITERIA as the majority of these contestants are not notable (with some obvious exceptions, such as Ken Jennings, but these contestants have their own articles that include their performances in Jeopardy! tournaments). Frank Anchor^Talk 16:01, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but shorten and improve references for years not recently covered. Given the amount of sourcing we have for this article (which I disagree with the original nominee regarding whether it establishes notability), I think there's not enough sourcing to support most of the article. Whether there is a redirect or maintenance as a standalone article, a list of the grand champions for each year would be worth keeping, as there's generally been enough independent news coverage of Tournament of Champions events each year to qualify. That's seen in some of the more recent tournaments but could be expanded upon for the earlier ones. Beyond that would likely constitute excessive detail and WP:LISTCRUFT/WP:FANCRUFT. J.

Comment Seems to have been a railroad station as listed here. In this place name book it's listed as "DENNISON (Coconino) — For an assistant roadmaster named Denny who had charge of Santa Fe Railroad track gangs.". I find a mention in newspaper archives "the Court held both Mexicans to the May term of the Superior Court. The check was given by the Santa Fe in payment of wages. It was given at camp Dennison, in Coconino County, about 6 miles from Winslow, for $1.93 and raised to $11.90. The Mexicans took the check to Winslow and tried to get it cashed" (The Coconino Sun 20 Feb 1914, Fri) and in this court testimony "Question: Where do you reside? Answer: Have been residing at Dennison. Question: You are employed as section foreman of the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Company at Dennison? Answer: Yes, sir, at Dennison." which is supported by a contemporary article about the same incident stating "Thomas McSweeny, section foreman at Dennison A. T., who was bought to the city on belated No.2 yesterday" (Arizona Republic 03 Apr 1899).----Pontificalibus 14:08, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I went from delete to weak delete to weak keep to keep as I've continued to search through 19th century newspapers. Though [30] which was a legal resolution to change the name of the road at exit 239 on Interstate 40, which is where the point on the map is found. "WHEREAS: It appears that Dennison, from which the road name was derived, is a phone station on the Santa Fe Railroad and does not have an association with the traveling public, also, the designation of Meteor City Road would help the traveling public get on the correct ramp for Meteor City, which now has gasoline and food for sale." We could, in theory, keep this information if we wanted to. It is referred to as a point in other newspapers such as [31] [32] [33] [34]. This [35] suggests there was a station there in 1894. It was included [36] here as a place that would fall within Coconino County in 1889. The Dennison section foreman died in 1899. It's called a "small station" [37] here from 1891. Listed here as a description of property from 1910. [38]. We are a gazetteer, this is historical, and there's a stub in here somewhere if someone'll let me. SportingFlyer T·C 13:48, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, SportingFlyer, WP is not a gazetteer, WP:5P1 says WP has many features of a gazetteer. The specifics required at WP:GEOLAND always apply. A flag stop is not a populated place. As a train station, it certainly could be notable if there were enough sources for GNG but I don't see that here. Mentioning in another article seems more appropriate, but as stated above there isn't even an article covering stops and stations of the ATSF. I would support adding a sentence to Coconino County, Arizona#Communities in a new subsection (perhaps called "Other named places"), Dennison is a former flag stop on the ATSF, as a redirect target. MB 00:20, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, it's pretty clear this will be deleted, but I don't think that's the correct result. Pontificalibus has a source which shows the place was populated, even if barely so, at one point, and as I've noted there appears to have been a station there in the late 19th century. WP:GEOLAND is typically read to be less strict than WP:GNG for places such as these, since our goal with GEOLAND is to properly document places past and present. We've had a recent problem with the GNIS as the sole provider of information about places, and there are a number of places we've deleted as not notable, but I don't think this is one of those in the slightest. Most of those had no secondary sources whatsoever. As I've shown above, there's definitely enough sources to create a stub article about this abandoned place, and it's listed as a valid place name in place name books (not gazetteers). The fact it's a railroad stop doesn't make it much different than say Harker, Florida, except Dennison actually has some pretty clear available sources and there was (allegedly) a farm at Harker. I would have gone ahead and updated the article myself if not for the fact everyone before me !voted delete - if kept, I can definitely make this into a valuable place stub. SportingFlyer T·C 01:59, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SportingFlyer, I don't think that one source is convincing evidence that this was ever any kind of populated place. As a foreman on the railroad, it may well have been a tent at a work camp for a few months. This is nothing like Harker, were the source said there were farms and people lived there and commuted to work from there. I don't see the value in a stub for an abandoned flag stop when all we know about this can be put into a sentence in another article. I support a redirect so if someone reads one of these sources and goes to WP to find out more, we are able to serve them by getting them to that sentence. But we need more than this for an article. MB 19:54, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've got access to newspapers.com finally and I'm sure there's somewhere the content could be listed as a train stop, but I'm not convinced about it as a place. Every one of these is with respect to the rails or an incident with train cars rather than it being a community. I'm not sure what the abbreviation in "Dennison A.T." at [39] stands for, but it's about man named Thomas McSweeney who was a section foreman killed by a job applicant named John Smiley in April 1899. Pontificalibus's source [40] is a fictionalized book of ghost stories that uses a section foreman T.J. McSweeney killed by a George Smiley in October 1899, so I don't think that it's reliable or shows it was a community any more than a work site. I wouldn't think a logging camp, oil rig, mining camp, or whatever should be covered as populated places when all sources are in context of the industry there. Reywas92^Talk 20:26, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I remain unconvinced this should be deleted. Wikipedia does function as a gazetteer, and even though in practice that means we're not a directory of place names, it means that places don't need to make much of a showing of notability to be kept. The GNIS stubs which we have been deleting were mere subdivisions within larger places, or place names without any evidence of any human activity, ie river crossings or windmills, but this place was based around railroad infrastructure and is named repeatedly as such in period papers. I'm now discounting the ghost story, though. Even if this is only a historical train stop, there's still enough sources here to write a blurb about a proper place. The fact the place has been listed in multiple "how Arizona places got their names" book further shows that, at some point, this was treated as an officially named place with a train station, even if there's no sources that support any sort of population finding. There's nothing really to draftify, but I'm still happy to expand this article if it's kept. (Dennsion A.T. means the Dennison section of the Atchison Topeka line.) SportingFlyer T·C 00:39, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. That article contains a list of trains that ran on the line, and there's no reason why it shouldn't contain a list of stations with appropriate descriptions of each. Just because that article doesn't currently discuss stations, doesn't mean this article should be deleted. I would compare this to Dovey Junction railway station as an example of a mainline heavy rail station that didn't end up turning into a populated place, but which is nevertheless notable as some kind of amalgam of an unpopulated place / building / infrastructure feature. A merge might be indicated due to lack of sources, but that would only be because this station fell out of use before railway geeks and travel journalists started publishing stuff.----Pontificalibus 16:52, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article has been expanded with references. And Wikipedia serves as a gazetteer. Thank you-RFD (talk) 11:10, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP does not serve as a gazetteer (without regard to notability). GEOLAND specifically says "WP has features of a gazetteer; therefore, geographical features meeting Wikipedia's General notability guideline (GNG) are presumed, but not guaranteed, to be notable." The article was padded out with trivia and tangential things that do not establish notability. MB 03:15, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From July 17, 2012, when it was an essay draft, until December 6, 2019, GEOLAND said "Per Wikipedia's Five pillars, the encyclopedia also functions as a gazetteer; therefore, geographical features meeting Wikipedia's General notability guideline (GNG) are presumed, but not guaranteed, to be notable." This last December, Reywas92 changed it to "has features of," which is a major change. I've reverted it per WP:BRD. It's always been my understanding that Wikipedia functions as a gazetteer, and that if a populated place can be verified, historical or not, then it's notable enough for an article. SportingFlyer T·C 04:44, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No sign of significant coverage that would meet GNG. Events such as completion of double-tracking and people killed in/near the area merely use Dennison as a placemarker and do not discuss it in depth. –dlthewave ☎ 20:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article has plenty of sources, and the standard of significant coverage is met. The delete arguments in this discussion seem to be moving the goalposts. The original argument for deleting this article was that the place wasn't a real place at all, which was disproven. The argument then shifted to a lack of sources, even though sourcing requirements for places like this have traditionally been lower than other articles, in part because of the likely existence of offline sources and in part due to the traditional gazetteer component of encyclopedias. Now that the article has thirteen sources, the argument is that they don't constitute significant coverage. I've seen GAs with less significant coverage in the sources than this article has.

I completely agree that being a Doak Walker candidate is not in itself enough to satisfy WP:NCOLLATH. For me, it's the combination of accomplishments (3x 1,000 yard seasons, 2nd all-time in school history, 1st-team freshman All-American, 3x Doak Walker candidate) and abundant coverage in multiple Arkansas media outlets that tips me to finding him notable.

Comment all of the source coverage above is from the state of Arkansas, which means he fails WP:NCOLLATH, and I'm extremely skeptical of calling amateur players notable who only received local coverage from their hometown, the region surrounding where they played in college, or routine coverage from the team they were drafted from, as local coverage does not necessarily imply notability. In this instance, though, it seems as if he was one of the best players ever to play at this particular program. My difficulty here is that I think best possible scenario is this gets kept and turned into an article which clearly demonstrates his notability, while the worst possible scenario is if this gets kept and it stays as this terrible stub, which barely satisfies the "sourced BLP requirement." I understand notability is a property of the subject and not the article, and I would say Jones is marginally notable, so a very weak keep from me, but please, someone develop this article a little bit and give this kid the credit he deserves.

Hamid Bashani

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

WP:BLP of a lawyer and television host, not referenced to enough reliable source coverage in real media to get him over WP:GNG. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- the notability test is the degree to which the person's work has or has not been the subject of journalism about him, written by other people in sources he is not directly affiliated with. But two of the three footnotes here are his own self-published law office website and a Q&A interview in which he's answering questions in the first person, which are not notability-supporting sources -- and the only one that's a real reliable source is also just quoting his opinions on a political issue rather than covering him in the context of being a television host, which means it's not a notability-clinching source all by itself if it's the best you've got. He has to show a lot more quality sources than this in order to qualify for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 18:10, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blogs aren't support for notability, and Q&A interviews in which the person is the speaker aren't support for notability. To support his notability, a source has to represent journalism being done about him in the third person by a real media outlet — but the only one of those three sources that's actually from a real newspaper just briefly mentions Hamid Bashani's name in one sentence in the process of being fundamentally about something else, which means it is not about Hamid Bashani for the purposes of establishing his notability.

Article about an online-only "television" channel, referenced only to its own self-published website rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage in unaffiliated media outlets. As always, the bar for getting into Wikipedia is not simply the fact that its own self-created web presence metaverifies its existence -- the notability test is the ability to show that it has been the subject of actual journalism, in unaffiliated media outlets, at a volume and depth and geographic range that are sufficient to get it over WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH.

Keep It is not online only, it is on Cable and IP Boxes. The channel is in association with channels such as BBC, CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera etc. It also uses non original research sources such as ANI News etc. Over 50 million daily viewership on all platforms, would definitely consider it notable.

http://www.tagtv.info/tv-guide-audience-reach/

I've provided a second link below which has their daily news bulletins. Clearly shows they use multiple unaffiliated and reliable sources.

http://www.tagtv.info/category/news/ Hindian1947 (talk) 06:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The notability test is not whether they do or don't use reliable sources in their work, it is whether they are or aren't the subject of reliable source coverage about them in other media outlets. And I cannot find any evidence that they are distributed by any cable company in Canada, or indeed even that they have a license from the CRTC to operate in that manner in the first place — so you can't just say they're a cable channel and drop the mic, you have to show reliable source coverage, with TAG TV as the subject and not the creator, which verifies that the claim is true. Again, the notability test is not "it has its own self-published website to verify that it exists" — the notability test is "other media outlets have produced content about it". Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone said above that TAG TV didn't use original sources. I told him they do. The channel is affiliated with companies such as BBC, CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera. Listed on multiple IP boxes/IPTV. I've updated the Wikipedia page with multiple sources and information, hope you take a look. The channel is definitely notable. Over 50 million daily viewership, 170k+ subscribers on youtube etc. The sources and information I have added to the article have talked about and expanded on the notability. For example, the mayor of mississauga visiting the TAG TV staff, non related sources mentioning and discussing TAG TV. Hindian1947 (talk) 06:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're not getting it: the comment above is not incorrect, you're misunderstanding what it's about and what we're looking for. The notability test for a media outlet is not what other media outlets it is affiliated with — the notability test for a media outlet is not the extent to which the company has been the creator of coverage about other things, it is the extent to which the company has been the subject of reliable source coverage about the company in other media outlets. Notability is not established by what a company claims about itself, notability is not established by the number of subscribers it has on YouTube, notability is not established by getting an office visit from the mayor of the city — and the list of things you can use as "notability-supporting" sources does not include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Roku, the channel's own self-published website about itself, anything that's a press release from any company's internal PR department, WordPress blogs, user-generated content on Medium.com, the Yellow Pages, or sources which briefly mention TAG TV's existence in the process of not being about TAG TV. What you have to show to establish notability is sources which represent other media outlets doing journalism about TAG TV as a subject, and exactly zero of your new sources are that kind. Bearcat (talk) 06:24, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, not exactly 0 are about that. Stop cherrypicking linkedin and the primary sources, look at the ones made by non affiliated sources. Linkedin sources have a specific purpose, a very narrow one. 50 million plus daily viewership is very notable i mentioned subscribers as it's a very easy way to gage notability. Also i have given sources in the articles that are other media outlets doing journalism about TAG TV as a subject why are you not mentioning them. Hindian1947 (talk) 07:14, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, exactly zero are that kind. LinkedIn pages may verify facts, but are not evidence of notability. To support notability, a source has to represent journalism, being done by a media outlet, with the topic in question as its subject — a company's own self-published claims about itself are not evidence of notability. Anybody can claim to have 50 million viewers — so the number of viewers that the company claims in its own self-published marketing materials counts for nothing toward notability until it's independently verified by a reliable source independent of the company's own self-published marketing materials. The notability test, again, is not what the company claims about itself — companies can and do lie about things like the number of viewers they have, so translating viewership into notability requires journalism to be done about the company in other media outlets besides itself, independently reverifying that the things it claims about itself are actually true. Bearcat (talk) 07:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On the CRTC, it is likely it they are exempt, so that it could potentially be an unfair allegation. https://applications.crtc.gc.ca/radio-tv-cable/eng/broadcasting-services-List?_ga=2.63587436.2121226200.1578272422-895540273.1578272422 Hindian1947 (talk) 01:06, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, so guess what? One of our core criteria for the notability of a broadcast media outlet is the holding of a broadcast license — "license-exempt" services are not "inherently" notable at all. You just cut off your own legs. Congratulations. Bearcat (talk) 06:42, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you're exempt, you don't NEED a license. You still broadcast and it has no bearing on notability. Did you even read the link i sent or are you only trying to win an argument. No need to be patronising.Hindian1947 (talk) 07:14, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Our notability standards for broadcast media operations do require a license. "Exempt" services are not entitled to have articles on here in the absence of really solid media coverage, precisely because the lack of a CRTC license means they also lack the CRTC sourcing that helps to support the notability of a real licensed radio or TV station. Whether it's allowed to operate without a broadcasting license is not the point — it isn't allowed to have a Wikipedia article without a broadcasting license, because having a broadcasting license is one of our core criteria for broadcast media being notable enough for inclusion here.

Keep for now, until I hear back from Bearcat whether CRTC licensees need multiple, reliable independent sources. This article is in need of some substantial cleanup, expansion, and bare URL reference improvement, but we have a lot of radio and TV stations with little to no sourcing, so I wonder if this is an exception to our WP:GNG, perhaps? Doug Mehus T·C 02:30, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to reread my comments if you think "keep per me" is a thing. Television and radio stations have to have CRTC licenses to be handed a presumption of notability; unlicensed stations are allowed to have articles only if they can be referenced well enough to clear WP:CORPDEPTH, and there can be no special exceptions to that rule. Bearcat (talk) 03:30, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat, No no I got that, that they need a CRTC license - I don't dispute that as you told me that when an unlicensed CKOO-FM had slipped through the cracks, but do they also need to have multiple reliable, independent sources which cover the station in a significant way? Doug Mehus T·C 03:33, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They do, but the CRTC license itself counts as valid notability-supporting sourcing — which means that there's never any such thing as a CRTC-licensed station that's unsourceable. But again, the core point is that I argued delete, so there's no such thing as "keep per Bearcat" here. Bearcat (talk) 03:39, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat, Okay, I wouldn't have thought CRTC decisions would be independent sources as typically government listings (i.e., Elections Canada) count as primary sources, right? But we do need at least two, and ideally three, reliable sources, so are you saying that, potentially, there's some valid CRTC licensees (radio and/or TV) which fail WP:GNG despite having been issued a license? To your latter point, you did say, "Keep It is not online only, it is on Cable and IP Boxes. The channel is in association with channels such as BBC, CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera etc. It also uses non original research sources such as ANI News etc. Over 50 million daily viewership on all platforms, would definitely consider it notable[,]" no? That's why I said "keep per Bearcat." Doug Mehus T·C 03:47, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat, I see you were the nominator. Geez, how did I miss that? But who is the "keep" !vote? Geez, I hate it when extendedconfirmed users forget to sign their comments/posts, which is why I opted in to SineBot. Doug Mehus T·C 03:49, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CRTC-licensed stations should ideally have additional sources beyond just the CRTC docments alone, but the license documents themselves do count as notability-assisting sources — in part because they're essential to properly verifying that the station even meets the licensing condition in the first place, but also because they're the only possible source for some of the information that a broadcast station's article needs to contain (e.g. the ERP and HAAT statistics of the transmitter). They don't permanently clinch the station's notability all by themselves if other sources turn out to be well and truly non-existent — for example, a station that had a license but then failed for whatever reason to ever actually get onto the air at all before that license expired, such as the Old CKOO example you alluded to, does not get to keep an article in defiance of the "established broadcast history" and "original programming" criteria just because it technically had a license it never actually used. But what the license documents do accomplish is shifting the burden of proof: if you can prove that the station has a CRTC license, then you need to prove that the station really, truly doesn't have any other sources before you can get it deleted.

But for unlicensed operations like this one, it's the opposite: precisely because there isn't a CRTC license to assist in sourcing the article over the notability hump, the people who want it to be in Wikipedia have the burden of showing that the correct kind of reliable sourcing does exist to get the station over WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH.

To summarize, CRTC-licensed radio and television stations are presumed notable until shown otherwise, so the burden of proof is on the "show that other sources absolutely don't exist before you can get it deleted" side of the equation — but unlicensed/exempt stations are presumed not notable until shown otherwise, and the burden of proof is on the "show that notability-securing sources do exist before you can get it created" side. This one is in the unlicensed/exempt class, however, and the sources that have been shown are not notability-securing ones. Bearcat (talk) 16:00, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat, Thanks for that very helpful summary on our notability tests for licensed/unlicensed stations, but in this case, Tag TV is a licensed station. So, if I've "heard" you correctly, as the nominator, it's incumbent upon you to show us that this station fails both WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Correct? Based on my preliminary review of the sources, WP:GNG may be met here, by virtue of the CRTC licensing documents and/or one or more sources; however, WP:CORPDEPTH may well not be. Is that a fair assessment? Doug Mehus T·C 16:16, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't a licensed station. Even Hindian1947, in his keep arguments, plainly admitted and demonstrated that it's listed as a license-exempt operation. There aren't any CRTC licensing documents being shown here at all, because there aren't any to show — the only CRTC "source" that's been brought to bear is its presence in the CRTC's list of exempt broadcasters that don't need licenses to operate. Bearcat (talk) 16:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat, Oh, I wasn't aware that we could have Canadian-based specialty cable television stations that didn't require a CRTC license. Interesting.

Still, I'm wondering about BuyNOW TV...a former, CRTC-licensed station but one which generated no press coverage whatsoever and nothing which would meet our WP:SIGCOV and WP:CORPDEPTH guidelines. There is one book, which is about a company which invested in BuyNOW TV but which is not about BuyNOW TV. The rest of the Google web search results are all directory listings, passing mentions, and copies of the Wikipedia page. Seems like a pretty clear WP:CORPDEPTH fail, eh? Doug Mehus T·C 16:45, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I have yet to see any evidence whatsoever that this is actually a "cable television station" at all — I can't actually find any verifiable evidence that even one cable company in all of Canada actually carries it at all. That's claimed in the article but not adequately referenced as being true, and the only source that's actually been shown to verify anything about its distribution is an entry in a Roku app directory. One of our problems has always been that people have created hoax articles about radio or television stations that didn't actually exist at all, and/or overinflated the notability of streaming services by inaccurately claiming that they were real television or radio broadcasters — so the notability test isn't the fact that the article says the topic has cable distribution, but the quality of the sources that can be shown to verify that the claim is true.

But also, now that we're deep into the digital cable era, the CRTC did reorganize its licensing criteria a few years ago, and did indeed reclassify cable services as exempt from licensing if they (a) have fewer than 200,000 subscribers nationwide, and/or (b) broadcast 90 per cent or more of their content in a foreign language (i.e. not English, French or an indigenous language.) You can see Category B services if you need more information about this.

BuyNow TV may also be problematic, but I'll have to look into it a bit more before I can make a judgement either way — and, of course, it can also be listed for deletion if it actually fails the test. Bearcat (talk) 16:55, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep CBl's sources to me show a pass of WP:GNG, and not just one or two but enough to put together an article. It has been argued that the coverage is mostly local, but the word "local" is no where to be found in WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:16, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sources referenced above constitute significant coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources. If the coverage were limited to a single smalltown paper, WP:GNG would not be satisfied, but the coverage here is unusually extensive and si found in both the Portland Press Herald and the Bangor Daily News.

Comment I'm sorry, but I have to invoke WP:INDISCRIMINATE here. Hayes has been written about in his local hometown paper (he grew up in Old Town and played college ball in Orono, which are both ten miles down the road from Bangor) and by the Portland, Maine paper (which, looking through their archives, covers all college football in Maine). There's no coverage of him which isn't local coverage of a local player. The sources I can access all interview him heavily, which brings the question of whether these sources are sufficiently independent into play. And apart from being a second-team All-American in a non-top-tier college division, he really didn't accomplish much on the gridiron, never quite making the NFL like so many others. Keeping this would mean our standards for notable college football players are if you get written about in your hometown paper plus one other local paper, and I think that goes against the entire premise of the notability of WP:NSPORTS, as WP:GNG is really just a proxy for "is this person worthy of note?". However, it looks like he did play in NFL Europe, and if he was covered significantly there I might change my mind. SportingFlyer T·C 01:19, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- response to me the content seems to be very WP:DISCRIMINATE in nature. I don't see how WP:INDISCRIMINATE even applies.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:39, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - The essay at WP:DISCRIMINATE includes the following: 2. An indiscriminate collection of information is one gathered without care or making distinctions or in a thoughtless manner. 3. A discriminate collection of information is one gathered where care and/or distinctions about the information contained in the collection are made--in a thoughtful manner. What the hell did this guy do to actually become a notable football player, worthy of inclusion in our encyclopaedia, apart from getting writeups in the two papers which cover the lower-level team he plays for, one of which is his hometown paper and is likely to cover him regardless? I know I'm not going to convince anyone here, but I used to write feature stories on local amateur athletes for the local paper, and I'm absolutely convinced those stories don't convey lasting notability. We need to be much more discerning with players who fail both WP:NGRIDIRON and WP:NCOLLATH as opposed to just "there's enough coverage from his hometown paper" and I think this is a classic example. SportingFlyer T·C 02:54, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While there is nothing in WP:GNG saying local newspapers don't count in assessing notability, I, too, tend to discount the coverage somewhat if the coverage is limited to a small, hometown newspaper. Several things are different here and led to my "keep" vote: (1) the coverage extends to two different newspapers, (2) both are newspapers with statewide coverage, not simply small town newspapers, indeed they are the two largest circulation newspapers in Maine (see here), (3) each paper has run multiple stories on Hayes, (4) the All-America honors (albeit I-A) add some weight to the topic; and (5) the fact that he was signed by four separate NFL teams, and played in NFL Europe, adds further weight. Put those all together, and I tip to "keep". This is not just some low-level player with no meaningful accomplishments who simply had a one-off puff piece written about him in a small town newspaper. Cbl62 (talk) 11:30, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I genuinely appreciate your response. I understand your assessment and you're correct there's some grey involved. I just think on the balance I'm still at a "weak delete" on the basis the two newspapers that were supposed to cover him covered him, along with the fact he didn't play at the highest level of the collegiate game (though this article's likely to be kept.) If there were coverage of him from NFL Europe (I looked and couldn't find any) that might tip me over to a weak keep. SportingFlyer T·C 12:50, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - Significant coverage in 2 state-wide sources is a little more meaningful than simply coverage in 1 or 2 small town sources. He also received some relevant coverage I could find in Tennessee. Not great, but specific to him: [47] [48] [49] Rlendog (talk) 16:28, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Multiple independent sources have covered the subject in detail and thus it passes WP:GNG as well as WP:ANYBIO.--TM 02:32, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't pass WP:NGRIDIRON or WP:NCOLLATH and agree with Sandals1 that multiple articles in 2 papers is not enough to meet WP:GNG especially with the amount of coverage American football gets in the US, 2 sources seems like very little. Rachoote —Preceding undated comment added 00:44, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- There's nothing in GNG that requires more stringent requirements for American football than for any other field.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:01, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - GNG asks for "significant coverage". Significance is relative. What constitutes as significant might vary from field to field, and more frequent reporting does not increase significance. For example, scientific discoveries do not get regular press coverage, whereas sports, such as American football do. Rachoote —Preceding undated comment added 04:28, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So you are saying that the exact same coverage presented here would be sufficient to pass GNG if the subject were a scientist but does not suffice here because the subject is a football player. That approach invites partisan fighting over which professions are more important and is not how GNG works. Cbl62 (talk) 05:19, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As Cbl62 pointed out above, he got significant coverage in the two largest circulation newspapers in the state of Maine. For notability purposes, I'd argue that's probably similar to the type of coverage we would expect members of the Maine state legislature to receive, and those people are all auto-notable, per WP:NPOL.

Weak delete unless more recent and sufficiently independent sources turn up. This appears to have been a scam at the time of its founding in 1999–2003 (depending on which date you take as the real start), according to the Nature story. More recently this article appears to take them more seriously, but I'm not sure how involved its author is with the academy, and it can't really be called in-depth (it's mostly about a chemist who won an award). I think in a case like this, a larger than borderline amount of coverage is necessary to get a clear picture of how this organization has been received, but instead we have a smaller than borderline amount. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:42, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of cars with Coke bottle styling

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

Whether a car looks like a coke bottle or not is subjective. The number of cars that definitively have coke bottle styling according to multiple reliable sources is tiny, and any such list can be accommodated within the main Coke bottle styling article. --Pontificalibus 16:17, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Styling is subjective, but the number of cars defining then copying the Coke bottle trend, a times at near comic length, is not. In fact, that number reinforces how influential and durable the motif was in automobile design. And remains well into the 21st century, with some of the most popular "retro" vehicles (such as the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro) bringing it back in extreme form.

Rather than delete the list, which is a useful means of finding something one did not know, or scouring for a forgotten name, it is better to comb it for errors and obvious stretches (the latter being by its very nature a dangerously subjective task) and encourage a citation for each entry.

Greece of Melouna

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

WP:POV WP:COATRACK; the expression exists, but the article does not analyze it, nor does it give a proper context. Melouna has nothing to do with the Arta-Volos line, it is a derogatory expression that emerged as a result of the failure of the Greco-Turkish War of 1897, also known as the "War of Melouna". The references here are either misleading (i.e, the content does not support the statement here) or taken from fringe nationalist websites/blogs; it is telling for the reliability of the author that he does not speak Greek, but has used exclusively Greek sources. I am long past WP:AGF with this author, and ready to wager that he took the brief mention of a "Greece of Melouna" in the article on the Meluna pass in the Bulgarian WP, Googled the Greek term, and simply 'wrote' the article with the top results as bogus references. The POV intent is clear when one notices what the little content there is in the article is about, and how it is phrased: rather than deal with the topic at hand, the author prefers to dwell on Greece's inability to expand its territory ("the Greeks abandon shamefully the fortress", "only the ultimatum of the great powers saved the 19th-century Greek state").

I have no opinion on the notability of this, but for what it's worth, B.League is Japan's top basketball league and the team he is the assistant coach of is in its top division. "B.League" here does not mean "below A League". Dekimasuよ! 13:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is a rather poorly reasoned AfD. Firstly, the nominator seems to mistake the 'B' in the name of the league for it to be some kind of a second-tier league when in fact the B.League is the top-tier professional basketball league in Japan. Secondly, the nominator focuses on the subjects current job, that of an assistant coach, and overlooks the fact that the person is a former professional player who has worked as a head coach. Now, the article is very poorly sourced and it may very well be that Mr. Nema does not pass WP:GNG but this kind of a shoddily done AfD irks me. On a further note, a proper procedure would be for the nominator to do a WP:BEFORE, including a search in the subjects native language, and then display his findings, or lack of them, in the AfD. -- Dammit_steve (talk) 11:09, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1862–63 in English football

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

Empty page with little potential for development and we already have 1860s in association football which is more than sufficient for providing coverage of the sport in these early times. The same applies to each of the following and I propose that all are either deleted or redirected to the decade survey:

List of human protein-coding genes 1

Following discussion at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Seppi333Bot, it appears that these huge data tables (#3 has 289,117 bytes of markup, for example) serve no useful purpose for our readers, and possibly fail WP:INDISCRIMINATE. They could, perhaps, be moved to user space if the sole user who maintains and claims to use them wishes to keep them, though the data would be better transferred to Wikidata. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:31, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Was wondering when someone might try to do this.

These pages are a complete list of all known protein-coding genes in the human exome. This webpage provides a straightforward explanation of what an exome is.

As for whether or not the topic of this list is notable per the WP:GNG: this is a PubMed search. FWIW, whole exome sequencing, which is used to analyze an individual's exome, is a highly utilized technology in the biotech industry [55][56].

Now, as for the list entries compliance with WP:CSC bullet 1, there are entire fields of study centered around human genes and proteins; even the less well understood genes/proteins in that list can be expected to have articles in the future based upon that alone, but for the time being, notability for every single entry in the list is easily determinable by clicking the links to the corresponding entries in the gene database and protein database listed alongside each gene in the list; they cite relevant literature since those organizations provide official names for validated human proteins and protein-coding genes.

This list can't be indiscriminate (by definition of that word) given that the list is complete; the selection wasn't random or haphazard, it was systematic.

In any event, keep per above. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 13:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)"[reply]

Keep but rename. I was wondering what a "genes 1" was then I realised the list was split apparently for size reasons, and 1 means "page 1" of the list. Perhaps the convention of doing these alphabetically would be best e.g. List of human protein-coding genes A-E or by chromosome List of human protein-coding genes on chromosome 1 would be preferable to arbitrary numbers.----Pontificalibus 13:39, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Switching it to a letter-based name actually seems like a good idea. Alternatively, I suppose that could also be indicated in the navbox for the list pages; either way, that sounds like a useful improvement for list navigation. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 13:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~leaning delete~~ for two reasons. First, frankly this looks like a dump of the HGNC database, which I have to doubt is in the public domain; beyond the copyright issue, I have to question the merits of parallel maintenance of what I presume to be a dynamically expanding list. Second, I don't see the utility as it stands of a list that really doesn't do more than duplicate the corresponding category, except as a housekeeping tool to track uncreated articles. Mangoe (talk) 14:40, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Three points:
  1. Data release policy
    No restrictions are imposed on access to, or use of, the data provided by the HGNC, which are provided to enhance knowledge and encourage progress in the scientific community. The HGNC provide these data in good faith, but make no warranty, express or implied, nor assume any legal liability or responsibility for any purpose for which they are used.
    Guidelines on use of data in publications (copyright and licensing)
    It is a condition of our funding from NIH and the Wellcome Trust that the nomenclature and information we provide is freely available to all. Anyone may use the HGNC data, but we request that they reference the "HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee at the European Bioinformatics Institute" and the website where possible. per https://www.genenames.org/about/. It'd be rather absurd for the organization that assigns the official name and symbol to all human genes to claim their nomenclature as their intellectual property; it wouldn't even be feasible because no researchers would submit their research and request a gene symbol for the purpose of having an HGNC-copyrighted symbol assigned.
  2. There is no category for human protein-coding genes. Even if there were, if list-category overlap were a valid WP:DEL-REASON for lists, then thousands of list articles would be subject to deletion given how common it is for a category and list article on the same topic to exist.
  3. The scope of the largest gene category on WP - Category:Genes - encompasses all genes in all organisms (hence the Category:Viral genes and Category:Prokaryote genes subcategories), but the sum of all pages in that category and all of its subcategories is still >3000 less than the number of bluelinks in these lists (~11500) and they'll gain another ~2000 bluelinks in the near future to boot; edit: the largest category is Category:Human genes, which is comparable in size; besides protein-coding genes, it includes pseudogenes, non-coding RNAs, multi-protein complexes, and phenotypes. The nonexistent human protein-coding gene category wouldn't serve as a viable alternative to these lists, because article navigation isn't the point of list articles in general or this one in particular. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 17:42, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
leaning keep This is something of a special case. I don't think we have a precedent for "tiny set of pages consisting of a massive data mirror, with their own attendant bot to groom them every few days". But taken on their own merit, I'd say these pages are a useful addition to WP. Having a sortable list of coding human genes where each entry (potentially) has a link to its own WP article: that is something the original database cannot provide. This link function on its own makes them worth having. Automatic bot updates also make a qualitative difference to the manually updated, selective lists at Chromosome 1 etc. The duplication aspect to these does rub me the wrong way, but I'd rather not have such housekeeping concerns prevent the addition of good encyclopedic material. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 04:25, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

comment I can see the argument for retaining the tables, but the division into four arbitrary chunks is a still a problem. Really, the best organization is not to break it up at all, because the sort-by-header feature is otherwise broken. Mangoe (talk) 13:24, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Combining everything into one article would probably yield something too large for comfort. These are ~280k each at the moment; combining them would more than double the currently largest article size on the project (see Special:LongPages) and come with a range of potential problems - mostly, you are screwed if you are on dial-up... --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:00, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The list is reliably sourced to HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee. The list is useful, especially because we have a large number of WP pages linked to entries in the table. Perhaps more human genes need to be processed by User:ProteinBoxBot under someone's supervision (the bot is currently blocked). Yes, I think these four pages should be merged to a single list.

Hindian1947 (talk) 12:44, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Hosting a TV show is not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts a person from actually having to have any reliable sources — the notability test is the reception of media coverage about him in sources he is not directly affiliated with, not simply the ability to use his own self-published web presence as technical verification that he exists. The number of followers that a person does or doesn't have on social networking profiles also has exactly nothing to do with our inclusion standards — again, the notability test hinges on journalism being done about him by other people, not on having a Facebook page. Bearcat (talk) 17:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, note that you only get one vote in an AFD discussion — you can comment as many times as you like, but once you've said "keep" or "delete" once, you do not get to preface any of the followup comments with a bolded restatement of the keep or delete you've already expressed. Followup comments must be formatted as comments, not as new votes. Secondly, the notability test is not the number of newspaper articles written by him, it is the number of newspaper articles written by other people about him. Thirdly, "news-communique.com" is not a reliable source, so it's not evidence of his notability. Bearcat (talk) 18:30, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great Spider

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

This article was recreated by Marino73 using bits of the article deleted via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jba fofi.
As a counter-argument against deletion under the WP:G4 deletion criterion, it could be argued that this new article adds fresh and new content and references. In my opinion, that is not evidenced here. The "find sources" template that will be added to this AfD will indicate that there is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the name "Great Spider"

The original version was cited has having two core problems: 1) It was titled "Jba Fofi", but only had once reference to the Congo spider with that name but had sightings of giant spiders elsewhere. It's a valid criticism (it was my first real attempt at a Wikipedia article) 2) The references were cryptozoological websites, and these were called into question The "Great Spider" article was done to cover the overall - albeit limited - phenomena of giant spider sightings worldwide. And while Jba Fofi is mentioned in the article, it is only in the context of the Congo sighting. In addition, I used book references such as the one by Nick Redfern as opposed to cryptozoological websites, under the belief that these might be considered more valid in at least some cases. Delete it if you must, but it is somewhat confusing as to the standards of what should be deleted when it comes to such supposed animals. The Great Spider with multiple sightings is nominated for deletion, yet a Steller's Sea Ape remains on Wikipedia despite only having two accounts. The Sucuriju gigante (giant anaconda) remains, but it is a stub article with no sightings. I don't want to waste time with this - just trying to understand why one cryptid animal exists with a paucity of evidence and another is nominated for deletion. Thanks. Marino73 (talk) 13:55, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is too much original research and unsourced claims here. The article is not specific, it is mish mash of ideas thrown together with no apparent criteria.

Delete per above. Glad to see this stuff spotted. :bloodofox: (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Each of the accounts is referenced in Redfern's book. I also added William Gibbons book reference - someone deleted it - back to deal with the Reginald Lloyd sighting. The sighting is also mentioned in the Season 2 "Giant Spiders" episode of Monsterquest. The original History Channel URL to the episode was no longer valid. I've added the current URL where that episode can be found on The History Channel's website. Marino73 (talk) 23:07, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These are all fringe proponents. Gibbons is perhaps the best known Young Earth creationist cryptozoologist to date (Loxton and Prothero talk about this) and academics have noted the role that Monsterquest (and thus "History") have played in uncritically disseminating fringe theories cooked up in cryptozoology circles (cf. Cryptozoology#Lack_of_critical_media_coverage). In short, it's all WP:PROFRINGE/all WP:RS fails. :bloodofox: (talk) 22:15, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bloodofox, thanks. I would counter by saying that the fact that Gibbons is a creationist is immaterial to this article. While his book is about his travel to the Congo to find a living dinosaur in support of Young Earth creationism, his reference to the Jba Fofi is basically separate. While looking for the Mokele-mbembe he writes in his book that he was familiar with the Lloyd story and asked natives about it. Whether or not he is a creationist or evolutionist misses the point - he was in the Congo and discussed accounts of giant spider sightings. As for Redfern, he's just reporting the purported sightings. The Monsterquest episode proposes the existence of giant spiders in sensational fashion, but they did not originate the Lloyd story of the Zimbabwe encounter, nor did Gibbons. It predates both of them. Gibbons doesn't say that he encountered them, only that the natives had.

To my original question - what qualifies for allowing a cryptid article to remain? Since there is no real evidence apart from sightings, why have any articles at all? Why should the Lusca not be subject for deletion? Or Bessie, the Gigantic octopus, or the Mongolian death worm? All of them have a paucity of accounts, and their existence is proposed by fringe circles. This article does not propose that these creatures exist, only that they are alleged to and also provides scientific reasoning as to why they can't. Again, thanks to you and Psychologist guy.

I also added a few additional references in the Arguments Against section. Regarding why Great Spider, as mentioned previously that I wanted to create a page to deal with the overall Giant Spider sightings "phenomena" of which J'ba Fofi is only a part. The previous article had been rewritten to de-emphasize the Congo spider and to source only books for the accounts section. Marino73 (talk) 03:52, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

None of the sources you've added, most of which are quite low quality and don't mention that cryptozoology is a pseudoscientific subculture, back the claim you've attached them to. No reliable source is making the claim that there might be gigantic spiders running around somewhere. Please don't make it seem as if they do. :bloodofox: (talk) 04:42, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are no "Giant Spider sightings" since there are no giant spiders, for well understood reasons. All that Wikipedia does by having an article is to strengthen nonsensical beliefs. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:10, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable fictional band that is not even mentioned in its series' main article. This band article is a glorified plot summary (WP:NOTPLOT), with some trivial non-independent commentaries by the producers.

Delete or possibly redirect to List of Chuck characters. Many people have done a lot of work on this article, but it is entirely in-universe fancruft about a topic that has not been noticed outside of the network's promotional materials and fansites.

Delete. County-level primaries for county prosecutor elections are not "inherently" notable elections for the purposes of an international encyclopedia, and there's no reliable sourcing here to get this one over WP:GNG as a special case. If anybody reads the comment above mine and gets confused by it, I've already yanked the BLP violation — let's just say it involved primary sourcing a criminal claim directly to the sex offender registry, without actually showing any evidence whatsoever that the sex offender is even the same person as the county prosecutor candidate the claim was being attached to, and leave it at that. I can virtually guarantee that trying to coatrack that allegation was the entire idea behind this article existing in the first place, which is precisely why this article should not exist at all.

2020 New Taipei helicopter crash

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

WP:NOTNEWS. Helicopters crash all the time, and so far there's no suggestion that there is anything particular to this crash, such as geopolitical implications. The death of a notable person is adequately covered at Shen Yi-ming#Death. Sandstein 10:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment: many people below write that the event is of great political significance in Taiwan and should therefore be covered. That's a reasonable argument if true, but it is not really apparent from the article. The article now says that election campaigns have been suspended for two or three days, which is an indication that this is an event of some perceived importance, but it's still not clear how and why exactly. Is foul play suspected? Does this have a bearing on Taiwan-Mainland China relations? If kept, the article needs to make much more clear why we assume that this is an incident that will still be discussed years or decades later, see WP:LASTING, rather than a routine accident.

Keep. This crash killed as many as eight people including high-level military officers and has received significant coverage in reliable sources. And it occurred just nine days before the 2020 Taiwanese presidential election and caused candidates Tsai Ing-wen and Han Kuo-yu to stop their campaign activities for three days and two days respectively. In my view, this article meets Wikipedia:Notability and should be kept. --Neo-Jay (talk) 11:28, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep There's a chance this isn't notable and it will need to be revisited, but given the politics and the suspension of campaigns as a result of the crash, there may be more to this story. It's difficult to determine at this point because this could ultimately fail WP:NOTNEWS but it appears there's going to be significant ramifications from this one, and aviation accidents where notable people die can be notable.

Keep I wrote what currently (09:28 MST 2 Jan) is Shen Yi-ming#Death, the suitable replacement for this article listed by the nom. I disagree.

Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant third-party coverage. Subject has written two books, but doesn't appear to meet WP:AUTHOR. According to his CV, he is a dean's fellow and visiting professor at Cornell, but holds no highly prestigious awards or titles, so likely fails WP:NPROF. If he does meet WP:NPROF#C1 or is notable as an author, the article is still a WP:SOAPBOX as it is based entirely on primary sources (by the subject or his wife). The only secondary source is a book review, and it's not actually supporting anything. The article has been tagged for notability and lack of non-primary references for over 9 years now to no avail.

Cerenybid is the creator of the article. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 19:28, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cerenybid please by all means do provide us with this WP:RS that shows evidence of notability of the aforementioned organization & I'd be more than happy to withdraw the nomination. Also note that a WP:BEFORE I conducted shows the organization has no notability whatsoever. Celestina007 (talk) 09:57, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Has 'no notability whatsoever' in your opinion, yet it has gained mentions in 5 articles in 4 separate publications. Is also mentioned in numerous other articles from similar sources, but won't bother adding until this AfD has run its course. Cerenybid (talk) 10:33, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Tagging a notability query might have been a better initial step rather than bringing this article to AfD twelve minutes after it was created? A number of sources are available; I have added a couple to the article, and further coverage can be seen, for example in this query though, now that an AfD has commenced, it remains to consider whether that mix of announcement-based industry coverage meets WP:ORGDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 14:08, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

AllyD hey, I get the argument for “article was just created so should be left unbothered for a while” but aren’t we supposed to move article to Mainspace when they are ready for Mainspace? Isn’t that why a draftspace & sandbox is available for us? So we could work on articles extensively as we see fit before moving them to Mainspace? Do correct me if I’m wrong though. Celestina007 (talk) 01:12, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Celestina007, what would parking in draftspace achieve? Sure there is scope to expand, but having tucked away out of sight in draftspace isn't going to do that. The rules are quite clear; anybody with an auto approved account can create an article in mainspace. If we look at the first article that you wrote, 12 minutes after its creation this is all that existed. Had somebody been as anal as you are being, that uncited stub would have been deleted before you could finish it. Cerenybid (talk) 08:29, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cerenybid First off, I have never said this to anybody but you would be the first I would say this to, competence is indeed required and right now you do not possess it the article you speak of is not my first article but my 40th and latest article which was in my draftspace until it’s completion (that is, from start to finish, fully cited and sourced) before I moved it to Mainspace. For you to call it my “first article” and also say it was “unsourced when I moved it to Mainspace” shows an overwhelming incompetence from your end. Celestina007 (talk) 10:06, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Celestina007, my bad I took your most recent creation, not your first, but the principle remains the same, it another editor had been as trigger-happy as you, it would have been up for deletion before you had even finished it. As inconvenient as you might find it, one mistake does not equate to incompetence. AllyD's advice is a better way of dealing with it. That you elect to write an article in draft space and then make 124 edits over 3 hours to get it finished is your way of editing. Just because I elected to bypass the building in draft space process is irrelevant, the end result was a complete article, (that is, from start to finish, fully cited and sourced). Cerenybid (talk) 10:57, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cerenybid I see the problem is you don’t understand the imperative difference between draftspace and mainspace. Nonetheless, what I’m saying is it is customary to do all the work in your draftspace/sandbox (this includes sourcing it from start to finish) before moving it to Mainspace (like I do) I have never and would never move an unsourced article to Mainspace like you erroneously claim. I don’t understand this To & fro with you the issue here is I don’t think your article is notable enough to be a stand alone in the encyclopedia that’s the issue at hand every other thing is secondary. Furthermore I’m sorry for calling you Incompetent earlier on, you made false comments against me which got under my skin but now I’m no longer irritated I feel calling you or anyone incompetent is just plain wrong. Celestina007 (talk) 12:01, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Understand perfectly the difference between draftspace and mainspace, but if an article can be fully cited from the beginning, the draftspace route can legitimately be, and dare I say often is, bypassed. Cerenybid (talk) 16:33, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. there are six independent sources. Rathfelder (talk) 11:49, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point to a source that contains Independent Content? See WP:ORGIND for a definition of Independent Content. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Consider the present state of AFC, with the immense backlog, mostly composed of articles that either are of new editors who cannot create in mainspace or of editors who do have COI, and in very large part consisting of articles that will rightfully never be accepted. I think it is more helpful for any editor with even moderate experience to avoid using it unless there's a good reason. Those who, like myself, who work screening articles there will be grateful.

Delete The test for notability (which can be found at WP:NCORP) is not whether the organization exists or even whether there are "independent sources". The sources must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The sources must also contain in-depth information about the company and be significant. Not a single source passes the test for establishing notability and none of the Keep !voters above have argued anything beyond a simplistic argument of "sources exist". Topic fails GNG/NCORP.

Weak Keep: unless everyone has back issues of Rail or Heritage Railway at home, I’m not sure we can fully assess how significant the mentions are. From what I’ve seen of the online sources, enough of the sources are independent and notable to pass notability. However, some attempts at adding more notable sources are needed in the future. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 23:43, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Cardiffbear88, which sources are independent and notable to pass notability? HighKing⁺⁺ 12:39, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - HighKing, in my view this, this and this all demonstrate notability and are independent sources - and that's before we count the six references from independently published magazines.Cardiffbear88 (talk) 17:12, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks Cardiffbear88. While I agree the sources are "Independent sources", this is only one part of a number of tests, one of which is that the references must include Independent Content and it is clear that both references fail to meet the requirement for "Independent Content" which is defined as follows in WP:ORGIND: 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. Since both of those press releases/announcements have been produced by sources connected with this organizations, they both fail the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:14, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment None of the Keep !voters have managed to provide a single reference that meets the criteria for notability and many appear to not grasp the criteria for establishing notability as per WP:NCORP. The Keep !voters should point to specific references (as is required) so that we can all examine the sources and comment - otherwise this is just a whole lot of vague noise.

As an aside, the CEO likely meets the criteria for notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:36, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Commment. Quite a few of the above sources are profiles on the company by an independent and reputable source, but where the RS happens to also speak to the CEO, which you consider to be a failure of WP:ORGIND. But a fail of ORGING is really where the the RS is a company press releases/marketing release repackaged as an article (which many of the above are not). You note that the company CEO could have their own BLP from the above RS, which again, goes to the independance of many of the above RS.

As a company, there is plenty of coverage from good RS like this Bloomberg which do fail ORGIND (e.g. they are from fund raisings); however, to dismiss interviews of the CEO and covereage of the company like this in Popular mechanics or Fast Company or Dallas Morning News (and more) is not correct. On that basis, almost every RS that ever spoke to an CORP's CEO would be deleted from Wikipedia as a fail of ORGIND, which of course makes no sense. Britishfinance (talk) 18:04, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response Britishfinance, the question is not whether the sources are reliable and independent, but whether the content is independent. Therefore, lets assume that the sources are RS and from publishers that are "functionally" independent. But. From WP:ORGIND, articles 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. "Coverage" that relies entirely on information provided by the CEO, the company, their investors, their partners, their customers, or any other "connected" sources may not be used for the purposes of establishing notability. Please note - the interviews, etc, are not "dismissed" for the purposes of citations supporting information contained within the article. Repackaged company announcements and press releases as well as articles that do not contain any Independent Content are "dismissed" for the purposes of establishing notability. It's all explained in WP:NCORP and the WP:ORGIND section. HighKing⁺⁺ 14:02, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Take the Popular Mechanics example, the article quotes from third party experts saying: "It's not just trees that ingest carbon dioxide, however. Most breathable air in the world originates from the ocean, "where high levels of nutrients fertilize large blooms of algae," writes Scott Denning, a professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University.". In the Houston Chronicle piece, they quote third-party experts such as: "Essentially, artificial intelligence and machine learning turn massive amounts of imagery into useful insights, said Chad Brinkley, CEO of Satellite & Extraterrestrial Operations & Procedures, or SEOPS. He said such technologies could enhance the company’s offerings and help it develop new services. “It’s the difference between giving someone a stack of paperwork and asking them to sort through it themselves,” he said in an email, “and taking that paperwork, summarizing the key insights, and giving them concrete actions to follow through on."" These are proper pieces by good RS on the company, that interview both the CEO and other experts on the business; not a fail of WP:ORGIND. The amount of coverage on this company in a general Google news search here is considerable (although much of it would fail ORGIND). Thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 17:32, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response What Independent Content is there *about* the company? The comment you've selected from Scott Denning is generic in that it is a comment about CO2 and the air but says nothing about the company. Similarly, the comment selected from "third-party experts" is from the CEO of SEOPS - the company acquired by Hypergiant (the acquisition of SEOPS is the subject of the entire article), therefore is a "connected" source. Again, nobody is saying that these article are not "proper pieces by good RS" - I've explained (at length) that the article fail the criteria for establishing notability because they do not contain any "Independent Content". Finally, pointing me to a Google Search result because of "considerable" coverage is not an acceptable argument at AfD. HighKing⁺⁺ 19:00, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response I am only trying to show how extreme your reading of ORGIND is (to the point of wikilawyering imho). This interpretation is needed to discount a material number of refs from good RS on this company. The acceptance that this RS would satisfy a BLP of its CEO is also not really consistent that notability is not being met; there are many cases where an article on a company and/or its CEO is acceptable, and splitting hairs over which one it should be is also not productive. Thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 20:19, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response OK, if you believe my interpretation is "extreme" and/or "wikilawyering", it would be more helpful if you could point to which parts of the WP:NCORP guidelines you believe I am quoting/interpreting in error/incorrectly. WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND are fairly easy to understand. BLPs have different guidelines (apples/pears) but crucially the CEO has a number of notable achievements which is why I believe the CEO might pass. HighKing⁺⁺ 21:04, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. [57] is likely the best source, but it is in the end half-rewritten press release, half intereview quotes. What independent, reliable source discusses this company in-depth? No mentions in Scholar/Book, not surprising since this is a 2018 establishment. It can hardly have any impact. Thus, promotional entry, and WP:TOOSOON.

Comment. Good job; I have also re-wrote this (meant to do when I !voted above), and added the references discussed (re Popular Mechanics). Having one of your products listed as a "world-changing idea" in Fast Company and reviewed by Popular Mechanics (who are a very well regarded science magazine - and not fools or an RS that allows itself to be abused for unfounded marketing) is notable. In addition, the partnership that Booz Allen announced with them is also notable given that Booz Allen is one of the world's biggest global consultancies (there is more RS behind this partnership that I am looking at but it is behind a paywall).

A report on Colorado College awards in 1966 names him as the recipient of an award for outstanding scholarship in premed, and in 1972, he was an instructor in the US Army Medical Field Service School - so there is more biographical detail available that can be added to the article.

Fails WP:GNG, and by extension WP:N, and the coverage is routine statistical listings. Subject made one first-class appearance, and is long since retired. Technically, the subject meets WP:CRIN, but this forms a part of WP:NSPORT, which clearly states that "the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept". Per this discussion, community consensus is that "subject-specific notability guidelines do not supersede the general notability guideline, except in clear cases where GNG does not apply."

Comment - is it Middlesex cricketers which were the ones so massively worked on in the early days - especially those from the early eras? I forget. Anyway, hopefully one day new information will come to light regarding this and other players' details. As for "in clear cases where GNG does not apply", I still have no idea what that means. Clear cases? Like where WP:N says "or"? That seems "clear" to me. Anyway. That's by the by these days. Apparently. I'm still frustrated that this is the case in spite of the fact this is explicitly contradicted on WP:N. And "does not mean an article must be kept"? No idea what that means either. Once again, an excuse to flout notability criteria. No worries. I'm not searching for an argument, just frustrated at the contradiction which is clearly present between N and GNG. I wonder if there are any more in Middlesex cricketers which need looking at. Bobo . 11:02, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - please forgive me for a second comment. Sometimes these have been merged these days into List of X cricketers. Is this an acceptable alternative solution? Bobo . 11:18, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There are newspaper reports of the single first-class match in which Wilson appeared in which his bowling is mentioned: essentially, wickets fell after Wilson was taken off, so it's likely he wasn't deemed a success (though he was bowling at the three Grace brothers). He is described as a right-arm fast bowler with "a square action" in other reports of the time and as part of the Middlesex Colts team his bowling success in minor games, which led to his selection for the full county side, was also noted. Cricketarchive has first-class bowling figures for him; these, rather strangely, were removed from the article entirely earlier this year (they needed correcting, not removal). Cricinfo has not just the bowling figures, but also a forename, Thomas. I haven't looked to see if his (non-first-class) Hertfordshire cricket career might produce other references. Johnlp (talk) 11:38, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On the basis that the qualification for sending things to AfD is "doesn't have a forename present", as is so often the case, as long as we can validate that these individuals are definitely the same then this AfD is meaningless. Hopefully one day we will uncover biographical details for Ranji Trophy players and others whose details are currently unknown. One obvious example is RADW Mayantha, who made his debut last season but still does not have forenames listed. (Now that I've searched deeper he appears to be this player - Waruna Mayantha, who previously played for Antonians U23). This is why I ask to make sure that the articles I created ten years ago are looked at before being sent to AfD. The fact that none of the prose text in so many of these articles has been altered in ten years makes me ask, where have all the bored exclusionists been all these years? If these conversations had taken place 10 years ago, this problem wouldn't exist. Bobo . 15:01, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And if ONESOURCE is still a problem after all this time, dare I say that it's fairly obvious to everyone involved in the cricket project where a second reference can be found. Bobo . 15:04, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Probable Redirect to List of Middlesex County Cricket Club players~~ See below. From CricInfo we have a little more information - a first name and information that we was on the MCC staff. So we're not quite in clear redirect territory as we might be in a case such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/J. James (1814 cricketer). On the whole, though, I rather think that if we have so little to go on that we're unlikely to be able to build anything beyond what CricInfo tells us so a redirect would, probably, be preferable. If anything more detailed could be added from his matches for Herefordshire then the article can be replaced and we'd have something worth keeping hold of. Blue Square Thing (talk) 01:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've now added as much material as I can easily find: perhaps those who have already commented might care to revisit. My view is that there is now as much, perhaps more, information on Wilson as there is on, say, R. E. Hillebrand, who is the sportsman (from a different sport) I always use as a yardstick by which to judge these things (and which was a snow-keep when challenged). Johnlp (talk) 23:33, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, there is no ability to re-assess AfD decisions mid-discussion, which is sad for a case which passes a brightline notability guideline. But sadly this is the way Wikipedia is run these days. No respect for guidelines which are insultingly easy to understand and follow. As noted above, the sole reason Harrias is sending this for deletion is that a first name is not present. Yeah - I know. Perhaps based on this information and others there is alternative recourse that can be taken in time. Note that G4 for "prevoiusly created articles" refers only to "sufficiently identical copies". Once we've pointed out that the article as it stands is nowhere near an "identical copy" of the article which was originally sent to AfD, we can continue our case against rabid exclusionism for the sake of boredom. Bobo . 00:29, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage seems a bit WP:ROUTINE (and really more about the matches he played it) and I have significant doubts over the actual notability of both Wilson and Hillebrand, but the article is better than we have on many individuals so I doubt it'll be deleted as it stands. The work done by Johnlp is excellent to get it to this stage. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:54, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, I don't see what we can write in cricketing biography articles other than what happened during players' careers. Apart from his shoe size, his favourite band, and his preference for species of cat. Anything else is just superfluous waffle. Since WP:ROUTINE doesn't talk about what doesn't count as routine, it seems to attempt to qualify half its point while failing to qualify the rest. Bobo . 15:43, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, and keep. With the information we now have present, nobody would take this article to AfD. In fact, this entire conversation is null and void given the fact that every issue as displayed in the AfD nomination is now sorted and/or proven false. Deletion via "GNG" is now meaningless and pointless, as this man's identity and contextual impact has been shown. "Routine statistical listings" is now false and has been brought to attention. "So meagre we don't have a full name" is false. "Nowhere near GNG" is false, let alone meaningless, "Can't build an article on statistics alone" is clearly false. Thank you as always Johnlp for going above and beyond what others have bothered to manage. It's easy to sit around and critique others' work based on meaningless criteria without being willing to do something about it. It's quite different to be able to find, source, and add all the information that was sadly not available to myself at the time. Notably, Johnlp's edits are the only edits which have been made since this article was taken to AfD.

Can people please find alternative ways of bringing articles to others' attention in future rather than hauling them through AfDs? Our project has become meaningless because of it. Bobo . 09:47, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article now has three contemporary sources and two modern ones, with useful information about the player's cricket career. Like Bobo, I would point to the word "or" at WP:N. The nom is correct that the subject is long since retired - since he played in the 1880s, I am glad to hear it - but that is not a valid reason for deletion. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:04, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I only noted that he was long since retired as clarity that he would not play again and therefore have a chance to become more notable; I am well aware that it is not itself a reason for deletion. Being non-notable is. Harrias ^talk 15:20, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment although some sterling work has been done to improve this article, and as noted, much of what I said in the nomination is no longer applicable, the coverage given appears to be very WP:ROUTINE. Indeed, if anything, the fact that this is all that can be found supports the nomination. WP:GNG requires "significant coverage", defined as coverage which "addresses the topic directly and in detail" None of the sources provided do that: CricketArchive provides nothing more than a statistical overview. ESPNcricinfo provides a statistical overview and a two-line biography. The following three sources are all match reports in which Wilson is mentioned briefly; clearly none of them address Wilson in detail. WP:N does indeed say "or". So in place of GNG, we can use WP:NSPORT. NSPORT however, requires that GNG is met, so either way, GNG applies. Harrias ^talk 15:20, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I stand by what I've said over and over. What other information do you expect rather than factual information? And where do you wish for me to cite this information from? You might as well take down 80 percent of my article creations in that case. I'm not going to start mentioning his shoe size or what colour shirt he's wearing. There's a fine balance here between factual information and just writing out a load of unnecessarily padded material. As for "more notable", thankfully there is no such thing. Okay, let's introduce the term "more notable". Say that we have to increase the criteria to five first-class games. You are then completely destroying the point of any clearly definable guidelines. The existence of the word "or" at N means we can work either easily to brightline criteria, or just start deleting everything willy nilly because WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I will point out again - although I wish I had saved the links - that there are some of my own article creations which have been deleted on en.wiki which are still present on southern Indian language Wikipedias. Bobo . 17:08, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does NSPORT override N? Absolutely not - it implies so in "basic criteria", even though it does the worst job in the world in doing so. We might as well destroy almost every competitive team sporting project in that case. As for the word "should" in "applicable policies and guidelines", that immediately nullifies the whole argument. Yes it "should". Of course it does. If it doesn't, then we have about ten thousand cricketing articles which need fixing, let alone the Test cricketers who, in fifteen years, still have zero sources mentioned. I'm surprised these are being picked out at random over trying to improve those. Bobo . 17:16, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, is this allowed? nominating a yummy chocolate for deletion during the festive season? Coolabahapple (talk) 14:18, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It looks like there is enough to meet WP:GNG. A Romanian source has the recipe ("Rețeta secretă a cremei din bomboanele Raffaello a fost dezvăluită. Cum se prepară, de fapt, acest deliciu fin", [61]), several sources report on a court case ordering Raffaello packing to state the number, not just the weight, of the chocolates when sold in Germany [62], [63], [64], [65]; a Spanish source describes how Raffaello can be sold all year round, whereas other Ferrero chocolates are seasonal (apparently! though I can't say I've noticed that ;-) ) [66], and is good for Mother's Day [67]; in Ukraine, a Russian company was marketing a lookalike chocolate, and Ferrero lost a legal case that it infringed the Raffaello trademark [68]. These sources, and the information about Raffaello from them, could be included in the article. I'm not sure that the date it was first sold is correct - a Daily Mail article (which I know we can't use, but there may well be other sources) says that it had a 28th anniversary party in 2018 [69].

List of REITs in Canada

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

Unmaintained list of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in Canada with little to no context as to how this list of REITs is significant, what they own, when they were established, or really anything. Most of the list is just a copy+paste dump from the Toronto Stock Exchange indices' lists, including even the section headers. As such, per WP:NOTDIR, this unmaintained list seems rather CRUFTy and, though Wikipedia notionally has "no deadlines," the lack of maintenance in keeping the article up-to-date (or even of an encyclopedic quality) is problematic in that (a) it is dispensing inaccurate information which, in turn, (b) reflects poorly on the encyclopedia. I see no benefit to keeping this unmaintained list and, since consensus can change at any time, any deletion should be without prejudice to re-creating it in the future if someone wants to re-create it, preferably in a wikitable format, with added context, actual and better sourcing, and regular maintenance (at least quarterly).

Why am I being pinged to this? It doesn't relate to my editing habits/interests or topical expertise. As for the AfD, I would think we'd keep a list of this sort, but police it for WP:NOT#DIRECTORY entries and inaccurate ones, which might pare this down to a fraction of its size. One of the common (but not required) purposes of stand-alone list articles is providing a place to briefly cover things that are at least marginally encyclopedic (do not fail WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE) but which do not rise to the level of WP:Notabilty (worthy of a separate article). That said, commerce-oriented lists of this sort sometimes do not do well, and either need to be removed, or need to have inclusion criteria that raise the bar, e.g. only notable entries which aren't redlinks (that is, the list would not be serving a place-for-barely-encyclopedic-entries function). I would think we would try the clean-it-up approach first, then the only-notable-entries approach, then deletion as a last resort. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:24, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is a B grade biker movie from 1970 directed by another notorious B Grade director, Al Adamson. It got a short review by The New York Times, shown here. Its cult status is recognized by dvddrive-in.com here. And DVD Talk reviewed it back on April 26, 2005. Searching in Google News, a good review by RideApart comes up. The reviewer is Bryan Wood who has done quite a few articles for RideApart. His review of the film can be seen here. There's a bit about it too in Tom Weaver's It Came from Horrorwood. Weaver is a well-referenced author for B grade sci-fi and horror etc.. You can see what he wrote here at Page 310. Also The Grindhouse Cinema Database does a review on it. Normally when The Grindhouse Cinema Database covers something you know it is most likely gonna be B grade exploitation sleaze. And this is just what this film is!

BigPicture/BigGantt are notable. Yes, there is a number of project management apps out there, but very few PPM apps. There are two PPM apps in Atlassian environment and they are BigPicture/BigGantt. Both are uniqe in the sense that they are built around Gantt chart module, a 'forbidden' thing in the agile times, that have overtaken the project management world since circa 2000. The subject is pretty hermetic, and much of the knowledge gets exchanged during the conferences. These articles were created by multiple-purpose account, see Martin DE (Polish Wikipedia). As for the third-party coverage, see how TechCo Jira review 2019 tells apart BigPicture from "2,000 third-party integrations". Regarding the apparent conflict of interest, I was encouraged to declare it for one article after I wrote it. I happen to know more about the two pieces and the project management world than 99% of the public. Jira links to BigPicture, so I wouldn't call the articles the 'walled garden'. --Martin DE (talk) 14:01, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly meets GNG. To the extent sources are available -- as they evidently are here -- Wikipedia should have such an article for every municipal legislative body. The requirements implied above, namely (1) that sources must be not merely independent but non-local (just how far away do they have to be?!), or that (2) sources are acceptable only if they somehow relate to the legislative body in itself and not merely to what it does, are without any foundation in Wikipedia's policy or purpose. -- Visviva (talk) 04:40, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment also there is a category for city council's [73], and articles for the city councils of two other Richmonds in Virginia and British Columbia. I feel like these mass nominations are arbitrary and unproductive to say the least and we should really have a discussion on a more inclusionary Wikipedia that fosters information on our politicians! Also i forgot to state in my earlier comment that I suggest we Keep this page as it clearly meets the GNG particularly the coverage of the councils Corky Boozé years and his constant harassment of lesbian lawmaker Jovanka Beckels. It meets ORG as it clearly has "organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." This article and this council much like those of Berkeley San Francisco San Jose and Sacramento have more than trivial coverage that covers their goings on in depth going back decades! Ndołkah (talk) 07:04, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - If you want to write Wikipedia-style articles about Richmond's city councillors, then by all means you're free to go start your own local Richmondpedia. Wikipedia, however, is an international project, which needs to consider the national and international significance of our article topics when we're deciding who warrants inclusion here and who does not — we have finite resources and a finite volunteer base of responsible editors, but an infinite number of egress points for bad actors to misuse our articles as a platform for libel or slander or unsourced personal criticism. Our quality control model, which relies on the oversight of other editors after an edit has already been made, works very well on high profile topics like Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau — but below a certain level of nationalized prominence, it fails very quickly, because the article simply does not generate enough traffic to control bad edits that way. So we differentiate between the state and national levels of political office, which are within our mandate because of the roles' wide nationalized importance, and the local level of political office, where we impose a much higher bar for inclusion than just the ability to verify that the person exists.
    Literally every town and city on earth has a city council, with anywhere between five and 50 councillors (depending on location) serving on it at any given time — but keeping an article about every city councillor on the planet is not feasibly maintainable within the limits of Wikipedia's resource and volunteer base, and most city councillors are not of wider than purely local interest anyway. So the notability test for city councillors is not just "s/he exists", it is "s/he has a nationalized profile significantly greater than most other city councillors". Bearcat (talk) 15:15, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - You're wrong, Wikipedia is infinite it has over 5 million articles like ones about obscure animals or some bacterium no one ever reads about but its important to have, per WP:PAPER wikipedia is not paper and does not have limits, if one exists and is verifiable and notable the "Other than verifiability and the other points presented on this page, there is no practical limit to the number of topics Wikipedia can cover or the total amount of content." applies. The shortcomings of "quality" editors whatever that means are irrelevant as there is boundless time for people to edit these pages as they see fit, there are also millions of high schools all of them notable not all of them have articles (yet!) having a history of city politics on their own article for city's over 100,000 people which is a large city is worth it for posterity and easily meets the GNG.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 01:38, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - No, I'm not wrong. Plant and animal species are not prone to trying to exploit Wikipedia as a venue for advertorial self-promotion, or controlling the narrative in the event of a controversy — but people (and the companies and organizations that people create) are, so the inclusion standards for human topics have to be much stricter and much more achievement-oriented than the notability standards for non-human topics. Whether you like it or not, the notability standard that city councillors have to clear to qualify for Wikipedia articles is that they have a much more nationalized claim of significance than the norm — and given that every city councillor everywhere can always show some evidence of local coverage in their local media, the existence of such local coverage is not automatically evidence that a city councillor clears the bar that they have to clear. And shooting the messenger is not going to overturn that longstanding consensus all by itself — if you think that should change, you're certainly free to initiate a broader policy discussion on whether our notability standards for city councillors should change, but that would have to be a broad policy discussion in projectspace, not one AFD discussion on one midsized city council. Bearcat (talk) 16:59, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you are wrong because there is no "national standard" for local counselors, regardless the topic is a "local council" and the bar is set at the GNG not your notions of local sources don't matter, your wrong, reliable sources like newspapers matter and this article has a big load of them, do you challenge that?Ndołkah☆ (talk) 21:43, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is a national standard for local councillors. We have a long-established consensus that we do not unconditionally accept every city councillor in every city as "inherently" notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia — the inclusion bar for city councillors most certainly is to show that they're significantly more notable than the norm.

I disagree, the Richmond article is too long and sophisticated to include the city council article on it. Just because other articles don't exists doesn't mean this article shouldn't. It's inherently notable because of all the sources such as the San Francisco Chronicle, East Bay Times, San Jose Mercury News, Richmond Confidential, The Berkeley Daily Planet, and other sources as seen in the article that cover the council in depth, as per the GNG which states, "addresses the topic directly and in detail" which many citations do, others provide some coverage and the GNG also states "but it does not need to be the main topic" which means they are still GNG criteria that are met.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 22:23, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

delete Really, this should be no more than a couple of paragraphs in Richmond, California— which it already is. There's no real need for articles on the councilmembers and then repeating material from them here; as a rule politicians at that level have been held not notable unless they achieved some level of notoriety which went beyond routine local media coverage, which BTW is exactly what the citations look like. I'm also concerned about what looks like a great deal of WP:OR in the portrayal here of the various members: I think you would be hard-pressed to find a genuinely secondary source which is making the kind of analysis which I see in this writing, which BTW is a potential problem in the politics section of the main article. It does not come across as a widely-accepted history of things, but as someone's synthesis of daily news articles from the SF and Berkeley papers. Mangoe (talk) 06:21, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We have articles for pretty well all the local councils in the UK, many with a population only a fraction of Richmond's. Elected local authorities are notable. They control significant resources. They generate significant coverage in independent sources. Richmond is bigger than many independent countries. The issue is the notability of the subject, not the quality of the article. Rathfelder (talk) 11:40, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What this says is that, as usual, UK subjects are not held to as high a standard as American subjects. If you are on a project to collect everything that has ever been written down, then sure, notability isn't ever going to be a problem, and that seems to be the trend of late, except for a distaste for repeating advertising. But really, the level of detail in these articles is uniformly excessive, and one's typical reason to read an encyclopedia— to get a brief overview of a subject— is now being consistently thwarted on the project by inclusion of too much detail and excessive repetition, which this article is in spades. The truth, apparently, is that Green candidates have been unusually successful in this town; but that's something that belongs in the main article in a paragraph or two, not a labored listing of every election result and the repetition of the biographies of a lot of figures which, at one point, we decided did not merit treatment here. I also note in closing that picking a random article on a UK district (Babergh) I'm not seeing a good reason to split out the council elections as a separate article. Mangoe (talk) 17:39, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing thousand year old political groups from Britain to similar groups considerably younger in the states isn't on point at all. It's not some qualitative thing about city councils that make British city councils notable. Our standards for inclusion are based on the volume and quality of things written about the subject. A thousand year old body is far more likely to qualify than a >200 year old body. John from Idegon (talk) 18:00, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You obviously dont know much about local government in the UK if you think any of our organisations are a thousand years old. Hardly any go back before 1974. But that is not the point. I think the burden of proof is on you to show that an elected local government organisation is not notable. Rathfelder (talk) 18:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So what's the problem Mangoe? Wikipedia is not PAPERNdołkah☆ (talk) 04:50, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia IS paper. The notion that electronic paper frees us from every limit that material paper lays upon us is simply untrue. If nothing else, these political body articles call for (and hardly ever get) a high degree of maintenance; they are routinely dated. Given that there are over three thousand counties alone in the US, the work needed to keep them current is extensive, and when one throws in the various municipalities of all sizes, it simply becomes too much to keep up with, and the utility of the information is dubious at best, especially considering how it is often incorrect anyway. I would also note, for John from Idegon's benefit, that the British district I happened to pick (and this was pure chance, as I assure everyone) only dates back to 1974. British local governmental structure, unlike in the US, is realigned and restructure apparently every several decades, and least in the last century or two. Writing about those structures, at a high level, is worthwhile; the level of detail represented in this article is not, and the fact that in a paper encyclopedia space constraints would force a more reasonable assessment is not a mark in our favor.

Author's question: does WP:GNG improve by having found (via the 4th from the right "WP Refs" item => Bloomberg News, and from there a bit more via google)

"He is now CEO of Stradis Inc. a developer of video compression technology." Pi314m (talk) 04:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(Author's) Not an opinion: Notability. Got it (I hope)..

His self-developed marketing skills helped him sell the Hayes modem hardware, license the Hayes command set, and decades later, as CEO of Stradis, a company known for hardware that compresses and decompresses video, to promote their equipment to the broadcast industry, which is a major purchaser, using his background of having managed WREK broadcasting 1970/1971. He also took time during the mid/late 1980s from his career to, as a labor of love, not only fund but run and promote the offerings of a major regional theater.

If the above is supported by neutral, second party sources - much of which is within the article's cited sources (even if not in the article), I'd think the lowest score the article would get is draftify, having met notability. (obviously not a neutral opinion- I wrote the article; see Talk page as to why)

- First, I should note that the formatting makes your reply a little hard to read. Second, please make sure your posts to this are signed.

Now then. To answer, finding (and adding) material that meets the general notability guidelines does improve the article, but the material must still meet muster. I recommend checking out our reliable sources guidelines to this end. It's worth noting that a mention or so in an article does not mean that it makes the grade; a better article would have the person as the subject of such an article (such as the one where Mr. Sirkis is running a theater, which is linked). There's a lot to go through in a single AfD post, though, so you're best reading up on the WP:RS link I gave. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 00:27, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article According to WP:GNG "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." According to the references listed on the page Rescue of Dustoff 65 a 175-page book was written on the subject titled "Rescue under fire: the story of DUST OFF in Vietnam". According to the Amazon page listing this book for sale [[75]] it states " It is almost impossible to capture, in a single word, the enormous impact Dustoff had on the Vietnam War. However, John Cook has done it in a most compelling, sensitive manner. Here, for the first time, is one of the most incredible stories produced by V" Conclusion: The fact that a 175-page book was written on the topic that claims this particular incident had an enormous impact on the Vietnam War not only indicates the article should be kept but in fact, it most likely requires expansion to illustrate these facts.

  - Yes you are correct. There was no intention to misrepresent the book. However as far as I understand Operation Dustoff and Operation Carentan were not the same operation even if there was some overlap. My suggestion would be to change the title of "Rescue of Dustoff 65" to "Operation Dustoff" and then expand the article so it does not just focus on 1 helicopter. Boston1775 (talk) 10:12, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment - You are missing some information here. "Dustoff" was not a single military operation (there was no "Operation Dustoff") , it is a US Army term that just means Medevac and we already have an article on that. - Ahunt (talk) 14:40, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - Dustoff might not have been the name of an actual singe operation but as you mentioned it refers to "Army Aeromedical Evacuation in Vietnam" and the United States Army's Center of Military History published a 148-page report which you can access here https://history.army.mil/html/books/090/90-28-1/CMH_Pub_90-28-1.pdf. I did a search and saw there is a Wikipedia article title Casualty evacuation which is a poor title since the lack of the word Vietnam or Dustoff in the title means the article could be about casualty evacuation from any era by any means. Regardless of the helicopter evacuation of the Vietnam War deserves its own article (and the title of such an article can be left for another debate). Also, two of the Dustoff pilots were recipients of the Medal of Honor which is not mentioned in the article titled "Casualty evacuation". Those pilots are Capt. Patrick H. Brady and CW3 Michael J. Novosel who are both mentioned in the Center of Military History report. I stand by my previous suggestion. Retitle the article "Rescue of Dustoff 65" to either "Operation Dustoff" or something like "Dustoff - Medical Evacuation in the Vietnam War" and expand on the material. Once that article is started then deleting the lesser events might seem reasonable.Boston1775 (talk) 19:26, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment - There never has been anything called "Operation Dustoff", so re-titling this article to that is not an option. Also we don't rescue an article up for AfD by changing the title, the subject and all the content in it to something totally new. If you think that there should be a new article on Medevac operations during the Vietnam War, then that might be a good subject for a new article, but the creation of that new article has little bearing on whether this one should be retained or not. - Ahunt (talk) 20:03, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Ok sounds good. I've been on Wikipedia for a week so thanks for explaining the procedure. Now I agree with you that the page should be deleted and a separate recommendation should be made for a new page which I assume would go through a similar type of discussion??? Boston1775 (talk) 20:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment - Actually anyone can start a new article, it doesn't need any discussion. As long as it meets WP:GNG, which that would do so, it should be kept. - Ahunt (talk) 20:54, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:LISTN informational and navigational purposes. Lightburst (talk) 18:20, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:DINC, the list is easy to expand, and just because it hasn't been expanded yet, doesn't mean the solution is to delete. For example, there were over a dozen U.S. states that year that held elections for their state legislatures and state executives, as well as the Confederation Congress. Elections of all of those bodies could be fodder for future articles, and several of them likely had elections in 1786. While there may not yet be Wikipedia articles on them yet, that still isn't a reason to delete this list, which can easily be expanded in the future.

We have one "keep" which disagrees with the concept of notability, and must therefore be discounted, since notability as a standard for inclusion enjoys broad community-wide consensus.

Delete. Nice photographs, but we need more in the way of notability to keep this page. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:29, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. What do we gain by deleting this? Notability as a criterion makes sense in a world of dead tree storage of information, but not for Wikipedia. I fully support deleting material that is fraudulent or irreparably incorrect, but material that is correct should stay. No one is delighted to find articles about Paris on Wikipedia, but they are delighted to find articles, even if brief, on obscure topics. Furthermore, there is a coterie of WP editors who work on battleships and the like, and nine of his photos already appear (with attribution) in articles, some substantial, on the ships. Thus the article on the photographer creates a link or interconnection between these vessels. Lastly, to return to the issue of notability, sometimes notability resides in a collection of articles, not in each article taken in isolation. In a pointilist painting no one dot has any great significance, but together, the dots create a picture. Put another way: chop down enough trees and pretty soon you have a clear-cut hillside. Acad Ronin (talk) 12:27, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am trying to find sources in French, from the period when he was active. I wonder if his photos are held in museums - and I note that some volumes of his photos were published, so there may be reviews of the books. I have found an article in Warship International that says "The name Marius Bar always has been a special one in the world of naval photography", and goes on to talk about a catalogue being published in 1986. I suspect that there is coverage, but it may not be easily findable online. I'll add what I can find. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:47, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment So far, I've found quite a bit in a 1996 issue of Neptunia, though it's only viewable as snippets [76] - what is visible includes the beginning of a description of his practice - "Marius Bar missed no ship launch, whether it was at the Mourillon arsenal or at Forges et chantiers de la Méditerranée [fr] ..." A book D-Day Ships describes him as "the well known naval photographer" [77]. Letters sent by a naval officer to his wife from 1912-1919, published in 2008, include instructions to go to "the famous Marius Bar", and that they would "go together to the illustrious photographer" when he was next in Toulon [78] - which indicates that he was well known as a photographer of people, as well as of ships. A book about Jean Aicard starts to describe Bar as a "Var pioneer of photography", but is again only a snippet view [79]. I'll keep looking - everything I've found indicates that he was notable, though I think access to French resources, perhaps offline, or searchable newspapers, might be necessary to find coverage. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:30, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that stating that someone is well known is equivalent to significant coverage. If you can find enough coverage to make GNG, though, I may consider withdrawing the nomination. b uidhe 12:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am saying that those descriptions suggest that coverage did exist. I have no access to offline French sources, nor, as far as I can tell, to searchable digitised French newspapers. I mentioned the possibility of book reviews and museum holdings as it is possible that we may find evidence that he meets a WP:SNG, even if we can't find evidence of meeting WP:GNG.

Merge to Nguni people per WP:PAGEDECIDE. First, let's remember that "the absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable." Second, here are some academic sources: [80] [81] [82] [83]. It's a notable subject. That said, even though the specific practice is notable on its own, WP:PAGEDECIDE suggests that if our readers will benefit from seeing the information in the broader context of a larger article, then we should put the information in the larger article rather than having a separate standalone article. In this case, readers would benefit from seeing why this particular practice is significant within the broader context of Nguni people. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 08:48, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree with Indignant Flamingo except for merging. The article passes our notability test and has multiple independent reliable sources substantiating that notability.

@Senegambianamestudy: A merge vote is a keep, not a delete, as the content is kept and the title is redirected to the new article. Nothing prevents improvement and expansion of the "First Fruits" section within the Nguni people article after merging, and if the material grew to require its own article based on size or disproportionate treatment, it could be spun back out. There's no good reason to force our readers to go between multiple articles to figure out context and significance, when one well-crafted article would do. As WP:PAGEDECIDE makes clear, having or not having a standalone article is a matter of serving the readers, not of the importance or notability of the subject. Most of us agree that the content is important. A standalone article is not a trophy that a subject "deserves", but one possible way to present information to readers, and in this case, not the best way.

Merge. To be clear, in the Canadian context that I'm knowledgeable about, a "Minister" is a political officeholder who automatically passes NPOL by virtue of being a Member of Parliament, while a "Deputy Minister" is a civil servant who does not automatically pass NPOL and doesn't get a Wikipedia article at all if he or she can't clear GNG on the sourcing. I can't speak with any certainty to how the Indonesian political system works — but Nasaruddin Umar, the one holder of this title who does have a Wikipedia article, is not described by his article as having ever been a member of the People's Consultative Assembly, so I suspect that the titles work the same way in Indonesia. (And if he has been a member of the assembly, then his article needs to be updated to actually reflect that.) Accordingly, it would be perfectly reasonable to have a list of the deputy ministers as a subsection of the list of minister ministers, but a separate standalone list is not warranted.

Delete. As DGG says, absolutely non-encyclopedical. Almost every academic who publishes will publish in multiple outlets, so the fact that they publish in this journal, too, is basically near-trivial. Also, there is not a single independent source discussing the concept of "Journal of Contemporary History contributors". Note that the article creator, Sunwin1960, has also created a bunch of categories for "Journal of Foo people", all of which should be taken to CfD by somebody with time at their hands to clean up this mess. --Randykitty (talk) 11:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, as she meets criteria 1 for WP:NACTOR - two roles in two different Power Rangers series, I think, counts as "multiple". But I'm going with weak because she only meets criteria 1, and NACTOR is not clear as to whether one must meet all three criteria or just one criterion. To the end of user:Hunter Kahn's statement that the sources can exist, that's kind of hedging on the argument that there are sources somewhere - we need those sources to come up, so to that end whether I change my mind is contingent on those sources being provided. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:18, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dflaw4, I've always thought GNG is the lowest criteria that all articles must meet. So without notable sources, an article is toast. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 09:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't necessarily think the article should go simply because of lack of sources. That being said, I think the article can be worked on for that purpose. With a few more sources, I think the article would comfortably meet WP:GNG standards. Dflaw4 (talk) 09:39, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dúnhere

PROD contested by User:DGG, stating that the character was significant and that it was possible sources could be found. Going through five pages of Google results locates nothing reliable about this figure. Google scholar turns up a reference in the "Artist's comments" referencing that Dunhere is pictured in a work used by Mythlore, a source that appears to be in Ukrainian titled "Відтворення авторської лексики штучних мов Дж. РР Толкіна в українських перекладах" that appears to reference Dunhere (I can't evaluate this source because I don't read Ukrainian), a source titled "Spell Checking the Lord of the Rings" that appears to be merely a list of names, a couple references to an unrelated Dunhere who is a character in the ancient poem The Battle of Maldon, and several uses of "dun" and "here" as separate words.

Delete. Just to be clear, there are primary sources to support the content of the article: it is easy to find Dúnhere and his deeds in the texts of The Return of the King and I presume in Unfinished Tales. However, as the nominator's thorough WP:BEFORE check indicates, there is a dearth of coverage in secondary sources. Thus we cannot support the topic's notability.

Contrary to the nomination statement, this is literally the exact opposite of 'indiscriminate' as the article almost exclusively focuses on Michigan's various series with Big Ten opponents (plus Notre Dame, which is an independently noteworthy series). I'm not convinced that this is an appropriate content fork, but I'm not seeing anything at NOTSTATS that would support deletion. Lepricavark (talk) 03:00, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While I do agree this isn't indiscriminate, I do think this is WP:NOTSTATS - just a list of tables of rivalry games, presented out of context.

Weak keep I personally consider people listed in this database (Memory of Nations) as notable, but that's just my opinion. Similarly this reliable website mentions him as a composer and political prisoner. He has also an entry at the Czech Music Information Center website, which I think is always a very good proof of notability. Furthermore, there are substantial articles in independent local newspapers [84], [85] and in radio [86]. Of course, he is not Antonín Dvořák, but in my poinion he meets our notability requirements.

Insufficient evidence of notability .

Move to Lindsay Graham (podcast host), and probably merge in American History Tellers, and expand into an article on the person behind both works. BD2412 T 05:52, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Purely by added sources which are ok and leads towards WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 09:23, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: the sources BabaQ refers to consist of passing mentions, lacking substantial, in-depth, third party sustained coverage, and in no way confer or attest to the topic's notability...let alone "leads towards" it. ——SN 54129 10:08, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of all the criticisms you can make of the sources I added (and they are certainly not perfect...) I’m not sure that ‘passing mentions’ is really accurate. One of them is a dedicated review article, and another is a substantial paragraph within a roundup of reviews. The Forbes one is a passing mention but the sole reason for adding that is because it establishes the number 1 chart position which, were this an album or book, would potentially be enough to pass an SNG. I’m honestly not overly wedded to this being a ‘keep’ but just want to make sure the sources are given a fair hearing! Hug^syrup 10:47, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I find this a confusing AFD. First it was about this new article that has just two refs. Then there is a comment requesting that four more bus articles be added, all with varying age (one going back to 2012) and referencing. I see no justification at all for treating all five in one AFD. Furthermore, I would never see Delete for any of them; if they could not be justified as independent articles then there should at least be Merge/Redirect to Škoda Transportation or List of Škoda Transportation products but never outright delete. There is also a comment about paid editing. That may be true, but again it doesn't apply to all five. the 14Tr and 15Tr are out of production so I don't see any possible promotional issue there. The newer articles seem to be neutrally written. If there is a concern about promotional editing, then that is a matter for WP:COIN, not AFD. MB 03:03, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - little evidence on hand to shore this one up as it stands - David Gerard (talk) 10:31, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Striking my "delete" based on discussion below - the article was obviously created because of recent notoriety over the bug silliness, but he sounds like his texts may have been noteworthy enough to pass - David Gerard (talk) 11:17, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak delete~~ The book has about 350 citations, and he has two articles with over 100 citations. That looks a bit marginal, but between that and the media attention from the insects-on-mars affair, there might well be enough notability for a keep vote. My weak delete is per WP:BIODEL, where I'm interpreting the fact that he's set his webpage to private and stopped taking interview requests to mean that he'd likely also prefer not to have a Wikipedia page discussing his insects-on-mars poster. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 13:23, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. As further evidence of a preference for privacy (whether on the subject or his institution's part) when I search for this incident I get stories about the university retracting the press release [90]. I think this and the citation record for his other work is borderline enough that we should respect those wishes, however much fun insects on Mars might have been. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:23, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  - David Gerard, The Science of Entomology has 350+ citations according to GS. I think that's enough to indicate notability. I didn't see anything for the other two texts. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:35, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:NPROF#4 Lightburst (talk) 17:45, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm looking to build a consensus: The arguments for deletion (like my own) are that he's marginally notable, and may prefer not to have a Wikipedia article at this time. The argument for keep is that he's notable, perhaps marginally. Notability in both cases is mostly due to his textbook, supported by his articles and book chapters. Since we don't actually have a preference from the subject, perhaps we should agree to keep, but speedily delete upon request from the subject?

Weak keep in the absence of request from the subject. I'm still concerned about the privacy issues, but also have come to think that we should not try to guess the subject's preference. If he does request deletion as per WP:BIODEL, then the case for such deletion seems straightforward. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 22:13, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
