Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/People

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Akronowner (talk | contribs) at 05:24, 5 February 2021 (Listing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rodrigo Moreira (producer).). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to People. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

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

Doesn't pass WP:GNG; no other mentions in reputable sources, the subject generally appears to be a somewhat high achieving engineer, but there's no proof of established notability. There are no third party independent sources about them. The article was created by a new single-purpose account that have made no other edits in past two years.

Fails WP:NBIO, WP:NAUTHOR. None of the references provide in-depth, reliable, independent coverage of Unay. Routine coverage only that is likely self-promotion. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 19:29, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. After some off-wiki discussion a day or two ago I also believe WP:NACADEMIC#C7 is a stretch, and likely isn't met, so that's not an option either. Perryprog (talk) 21:21, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: My WP:BEFORE search may be limited by my location and language (I don't live in Turkey after all), but so far as I can see, there's nothing in the way of SIGCOV anywhere. Most sources just quote him rather than discussing him in depth, and then in any case those sources quoting him do look like run-of-the-mill coverage that normally finds little use for establishing notability. Additionally, the vast majority of the coverage on Unay is from one agency, and I have doubts as to if it is reliable. JavaHurricane 01:38, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I've seen this article twice as a draft, and both times (1) the sources were horriffically poor - most of them were basically just quoting/closely paraphrasing Unay - and (2) Google returned absolutely nothing useful (string: "deniz unay"). It's painfullly obvious the sourcing has not improved a whit. Whoever approved this needs to be pulled aside for a lecture. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 02:46, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment:hello i read your comments on this article

1) If you search "Deniz Unay Social Media Expert" on Google News, you can find many explanations and articles in English. 2) "Sea Ünay" living in Turkey can examine a major name kaynaklard career completely addictive for Technology in Turkey "Social Responsibility Project" offers training and seminars for 5 years. not only in Turkey Erasmus Project has trained in eğitimcilere from abroad covered Finally, the Russian government Advocates of unity "for Social Media Regulation in Russia" online with expert names in the field in the world to have been invited to the conference Feedback has been published by inviting institutions and the Russian national press. 3) In addition, his articles have been translated into more than 15 languages. As you can see on the Talk page, Al Jazeraa has been featured in important news websites and International agencies such as Pakistan NY TIMES. 4) Deniz UNAY's views on the Covid 19 infodemia were included in the "Europan Science" Science journal and in the Spanish science article. 5) This article was previously rejected as duplicate content. Then it turned out that after my article was published, this error was copied and published by other sites. 6) Yesterday this article was approved by an admin, and then a warning was issued for this article in the form of a paid and for money article. I did not pay any name to any of them. This is definitely a mistake just like a copy content error, and I have no problem to give anyone a dignity that they do not have. Imagine if a person has been doing important studies in his country and around the world for 5 years, if his articles are translated from language to language and published, do you think there may be a doubt, I just added what I think is the most important by reviewing more than 2000 articles on googe news. It would be approved in a shorter time, not a long and controversial process like 4 months. 7) As for the conversations in the Wikipedia support chat room. I have applied all positive and constructive evaluations I deleted what I should have deleted I corrected the statements deemed inappropriate in the article. But I did not hurt me in the face of hurtful behavior towards me. I tried to understand and apply it correctly within 4 months. If the subject of this article did not deserve to be on Wikipedia, maybe it would be deleted in the first days. Frankly, it was a reason that made me hope and gave up. Finally, I do not want to lose my belief that you will be more positive and constructive in this article. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emremer (talkcontribs)

Thank you. This is *ahem* the third time that a user has pressured me into accepting an article. My weakness is with new users. 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 11:58, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I found some interesting things. Whatever he says is taken and being reported on: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] (second half). One more source about his general life, though I doubt that this is enough. ~Styyx Talk? ^-^ 08:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think there is reason to suspect that the site is being paid to do this reporting. That site is more or less the only source on his statements, and all other sources clearly state that the quotes are from that website. JavaHurricane 08:42, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Article writing course people in the opinions of a writer in Turkey will take place in dozens of different places.

Look, there are dozens of articles in Google News results. There is a Protocol document with the Ministry of Education. We are not talking about an ordinary person An important name who produces projects, whose opinions are asked, his articles have been translated into 15 languages, and his views used in science articles It's true I have trouble understanding Wikipedia, but I'm sure this person really deserves to be on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emremer (talkcontribs) 10:50, 5 February 2021 (UTC) Hello As far as I understand from the press in Turkey and I need to make a statement about the sources 1) "Anadolu Agency", one of my sources, is the state's news agency and is a 100-year-old news agency. "Anadolu Agency" broadcasts in about 10 languages. Here you need to be an important person to make a statement or express an opinion. 2) The Independent in Turkey Sea Ünay page belonging text itself has not caused any significant article you published. https://www.indyturk.com/node/136106/t%C3%BCrkiyeden-sesler/%C3%A7e%C5%9Fitli-ya%C5%9F-gruplar%C4%B1nda-teknoloji-ba%C4%9F % C4% B1ml% C4% B1l% C4% B1% C4% 9F% C4% B1-you-how-up-e-social 3) Many national publications such as Hurriyet, Milliyet in Turkey, Haberturk has included the explanation repeatedly. 4) Approximately 5 years in Turkey CNN consulted several times in the national news as Turkish TRT channel. 5) Recently, for the adverse share on social media for Vaccine Denial of Turkey Ministry of Health Sciences Board members who place their opinions after Anadolu Agency joined the program to the TV program has a news service https://www.aa.com.tr/en/latest-on-coronavirus-outbreak/combat-infodemic-over-covid-19-vaccines-says-expert/2108013 In the title of this article, he is mentioned as a Turkish Social Media Expert and writer. It is also a name that has entered many national and international sources. why would you prefer paid publications? If you have contact with Wikipedia Turkish editors, these resources will definitely verify you. Frankly, I hope you will understand better and help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emremer (talkcontribs) 10:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm having trouble understanding the discussion here 1) From the very beginning; I work with all my good intentions and efforts and offer many resources and references. But each editor looks at the behavior of the other and writes Delete, Delete Quickly Delete. 2) Well, if everyone is going to behave so cruelly and unfairly, new editors won't have much chance to survive ... 3) Yes, if you really want to lynch and delete them collectively, I don't have the power to prevent it. You can delete it is possible. 4) Everyone deserves to be conscientious, to see the effort, to be just and kind.

  • Comment I am not sure that we could call this a "hoax". It is an article written it seems by a high school senior in Myanmar who has a very weak grasp of the English language about himself. As best I can tell, he is involved in band at his school, and may or may not have been involved in school theatrical productions. It is unclear what he means by wanting to be an "artist", since in some circles this word is actually used instead of musician. Beyond that his only other claim seems to be that he went and visited multiple places in Myanmar, and he created what apparently is meant to be a list of specific places that he visited.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:11, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, yes I agree with Johnpacklambert, I believe a mechanism should be developed to that effect & although it is quixotic of me to say this, but I also want a time to come whereby all articles are mandated to pass through the AFC process, theoretically speaking, that would be a very daunting task if it were to happen but I feel that would eliminate UPE & the creation of non notable articles.

American is not a monarchy. We have no heirs presumptive, and as Massachusetts showed last year people have stopped bowing to the Kennedy family and their false presumptions they are better than the rest of us. There is nothing about this guy that is anywhere near notability, and the fact that foreign journalists disrespect our Republicanism and create articles built on false assumptions of inheritance of office and power is not in and of itself a good reason to have an article on someone who has never made any notable accomplishments John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment As was well pointed out in the last deletion discussion, Wikipedia is not a tabloid, and that is the level of many of the sources. Also Wikipedia does not have a grandfather clause. Early Wikipedia was a madhouse of unregulated article creation with no notability guidelines at all. So the fact that this article has sat around a long time is not in and of itself a source of showing notability at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - nominations for deletion generally go smoother if there are policy based reasons for deletion rather than arguments based on emotion. In this case that would be:
"Fails WP:NPOL, WP:NACTOR and WP:ANYBIO. Notability is not INHERITed." 174.212.238.163 (talk) 17:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - a good WP:ATD would be to merge encyclopedic content to the closest notable direct relative's article and redirect. 174.212.238.163 (talk) 17:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This the 8th (!) AfD (missing one of the list) plus 2 DRVs - how long will this ridiculous campaign to delete the article continue?? Each time the article has added new sources and expanded. It is even more notable today then any time in the past. The deletion arguments are flawed - the topic clear passes WP:GNG. Furthermore INHERIT essay has nothing to do with it, read it now, including the disclaimer at the top - it is arguments to avoid making during an AfD, that is all, nobody here is making the argument "Keep because he has a famous relative", the argument is Keep because of GNG. The claim made above by Johnpacklambert that this article has "sat around" unexamined is obviously ludicrous in light of the many failed AfDs, extensive edit history and vast number of page views this article receives daily. -- GreenC 17:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is still no substance. He is just a run of the mill graduate student which in no way makes him notable. The coverage is vaucuous, passing, incidental or tabloid.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:39, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the notability guideline on articles about people, the relevant guideline for consideration of deletion of this article, which is a biography. The guideline states that a person is notable enough for an article "if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." The guideline also states, "multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." Although it's too bad that so many sources considered as tabloids have been cited in this article, Jack Schlossberg has been the subject of many other articles, which are independent from each other and the subject himself and are in reliable and reputable publications. Here are several examples:
- Sullivan, Kate (January 19, 2020). "JFK's grandson slams Pence's interpretation of 'Profiles in Courage'". CNN. Retrieved February 4, 2021.
- Budrik, Zack (January 19, 2020). "JFK's grandson calls Pence op-ed a 'total perversion' of Kennedy's legacy". The Hill. Retrieved February 4, 2021.
- Sharir, Moran (February 23, 2020). "Meet JFK's Grandson Jack Schlossberg, the Democrats' New Hope". Haaretz. Retrieved February 4, 2021.
- Hallemann, Caroline (May 13, 2018). "JFK's Grandson, Jack Schlossberg, Makes His Television Debut". Town & Country. Retrieved February 4, 2021.
- Ruiz, Michelle (May 5, 2017). "JFK's Grandson, Jack Schlossberg, Steps Into the Spotlight". Vogue. Retrieved February 4, 2021.
- Bose, Debanjali (September 30, 2020). "Meet the modern Kennedy family: The most prominent members of America's most famous political dynasty". Business Insider. Retrieved February 4, 2021.
You will also notice that the sources of the articles listed above are each notable enough to be the subject of their own article on Wikipedia. The topic of this article has only received more media coverage since this article last appeared at AfD, meaning it should be an easy decision to retain this article in the encyclopedia. - tucoxn\talk 18:57, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • No all those are cases of coverage not based on anything he did, but based on being related to other people. This all fails any reasonble understanding of not inherited rules.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:11, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That is a completely inaccurate characterization of the sources. Even if he became president of the USA they will continue to mention his famous family, nobody can avoid that shadow. Sorry you don't like how he became notable. I don't like how some people because notable either but I don't go around trying to delete those articles. . -- GreenC 22:56, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You recognize they are notable because of the sources. There is no rule, policy, guideline or anything that disqualifies a notable person because of how they became notable. -- GreenC 22:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, I recognize that Wikipedia very often considers living persons to be notable simply because they are covered, in whatever contexts and for whatever reasons, in reliable sources. Not because the subjects have actually accomplished anything of note. Caro7200 (talk) 23:27, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's important to note that Caro7200 admits "he's notable" and understands that Wikipedia "considers living persons to be notable simply because they are covered, in whatever contexts and for whatever reasons, in reliable sources." That's exactly what's going on in the article about Jack Schlossberg, who has received received significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. - tucoxn\talk 00:33, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's also important to note that coverage of the Kennedys in People or the Post is primarily about attracting eyeballs and therefore revenue. And it's also important to note that when the article was originally deleted, in 2011, the subject was mostly known as a Kennedy who attended school. In 2021, the subject is mostly known as a Kennedy who attended school and, I guess, accompanies his mother to events. As an alternative to deletion, the article can be redirected to Caroline. Caro7200 (talk) 02:20, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Every commercial news source is in the business of attracting eyeballs and making money. Your requirement for him to have done something more (what?) is not supported by any rule, policy or guideline, it's setting the bar higher than exists, we gauge notability based on coverage in multiple reliable sources. There are lots of Wikipedia articles about people who are less accomplished than Kennedy, and we do not reject articles because of how their notability was achieved. -- GreenC 17:23, 5 February 2021 (UTC) (sig orignally posted 03:32, 5 February 2021 (UTC))[reply]
Ah, yes, we can pretend that, when covering heirs and socialites, the NYT, for example, and People or the Post have the exact same motivations. I see this as most similar to an Alyssa Carson situation... And, as per the "weak" aspect of the vote, I don't think that it's completely unreasonable that JFK's grandson has an article primarily because he's JFK's grandson... Caro7200 (talk) 12:25, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ah a rare sighting of WP:INHERIT: I don't think that it's completely unreasonable that JFK's grandson has an article primarily because he's JFK's grandson. This is precisely what WP:INHERIT is made for, it is an argument to avoid in AfD. Arguing keep/delete because of who he is violates WP:INHERIT. We have articles because of sources. -- GreenC 17:23, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I did advocate last year for keeping an article on one of Oswald's girlfriends ... so perhaps I've become a soft touch when it comes to the Kennedys. Caro7200 (talk) 17:50, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. If this were the first time this article had come to AfD, I might have recommended deletion, but this article has passed AfD with a "keep" twice before, and the subject hasn't gotten less notable in the intervening three years since the last "keep" verdict. In fact, he has since been the subject of articles in People, Esquire, and the New York Post. So he seems to pass the general notability guideline. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:28, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A few editors cited coverage in the New York Post to support Keep !votes. According to recent consensus, this source is "generally unreliable" which means that it doesn't contribute to notability. –dlthewave 18:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW of the 30 citations in the article only 2 are to the New York Post, one of which reports his father died in a plane crash thus could easily be replaced with another source, such as a book. -- GreenC 19:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the reasons cited above and in the 7 prior deletion discussions. Easily passes WP:GNG. WP:Notability#Notability is not temporary is not transient. 7&6=thirteen () 18:41, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The coverage is there. The anti-Kennedy nomination statement ("as Massachusetts showed last year people have stopped bowing to the Kennedy family and their false presumptions they are better than the rest of us") concerns me. We haven't bowed Of course it'll talk about his being a Kennedy. The nomination statement shows a bias against the Kennedys that is concerning. Nominator's feelings on the Kennedys are so strong that they seem to affect his judgment of notability. He should strike some of the nomination statement, IMO. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 12:32, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Anti-Kennedy statements have been there in most of the AfDs, like dog whistles. We keep having these repetitive AfDs. -- GreenC 14:03, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And true enough, the Kennedys, like some other wealthy families, act like pretended Royalty.
But all of that has nothing to do with notability as it is understood in Wikipedia. 7&6=thirteen () 14:20, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep per snow, as well as the fact that the premise of this nomination is just some kind of rant about the user's person beliefs about the media. "the fact that foreign journalists disrespect our Republicanism and create articles built on" is admitting that the subject meets notability guidelines for a WP page. Not a matter for AFD at all.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:11, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Is this a personal vendetta by the nominator? I dropped eleven sources in the last AfD nom for this article which was started by the same nominator. The notability of this person (scion only known for looking somewhat attractive he may be) is approaching indisputability. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:34, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete There's also this article on Matt Brash, but I still don't think there's enough for WP:GNG either for him or the show; it's a little closer for him, but the content here would need WP:TNT so there's no point moving the article and refocusing even if he were found to meet GNG.

No museum collections nor in-depth critical, art-historical coverage in reliable sources. Does not meet criteria for WP:NARTIST nor WP:GNG. Netherzone (talk) 16:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per NARTST, GNG, WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:SNOW. I found zero hits on Google newspapers. She has no works in major collections or museums. She has fifty-one (51) followers on Twitter under @arcentura, and most of those are animal rights groups, not fans of her art. We are not a social media account or free web service, and in 2021, everyone knows that after our 20 years in existence. There seems to be unanimous accord to delete this page.

  • Comment. WorldCat[9] seems to suggest he has ten different books, several of which have gone through multiple editions (up to 11). Tends to suggest successful reviewed books, just hard for English speakers to find the reviews. Espresso Addict (talk) 17:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Joy; a historian with a sizable body of work and overall coverage that passes the WP:GNG threshold. I've also found a journal review of one of his books. On a side note: WP:NACADEMIC, interpreted strictly, is a ridiculously high hurdle compared to e.g. WP:NFOOTY. The notion that a country like e.g. Croatia has 10x more notable footballers than notable academics leads to reductio ad absurdum, therefore the degree of scrutiny (such as what counts as "a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed") should be adjusted accordingly.

I can't find enough significant coverage in reliable sources to show this businessman reaches the required level of notability. It might seem like there's a lot of references, but none of them are of the required standard, most aren't even about the subject. I stripped out the External Links section as it mostly contained deadlinks, links tangentially related to the subject, or iffy sources: none of them were usable as references. He might have done a lot of stuff, but that doesn't equate to notability here. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 00:47, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. There is general consensus to retain the article. Although some participants who favoured deletion invoked WP:BLP1E, most other commentators felt that it did not apply in this instance to the extent of meriting deletion. Note also that a concurrent move request ended up with the article having been moved to the subject's real name: Keith Gill (investor). El_C 15:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is a living person known primarily for a single event, the GameStop short squeeze. WP:BLP1E applies. — BarrelProof (talk) 19:28, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - WP:BLP1E does not apply since points 2 and 3 are not met. Their role in the event is very well-documented, and they are not likely to remain low-profile otherwise. Per WP:LOWPROFILE, "A low-profile individual is someone who has been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention, often as part of their connection with a single event. Persons who actively seek out media attention are not low-profile, regardless of whether or not they are notable." DeepFuckingValue sought out interviews with media, making them fail this criteria and BLP1E. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 19:32, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There's enough info here that it makes sense to split it off from the main article. It could be merged, but that wouldn't be ideal. It's more than just a passing mention. Benjamin (talk) 19:37, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - #3 "If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented." Event is significant and the individual's role is substantial and well-documented. UserTwoSix (talk) 19:38, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to GameStop short squeeze per WP:CRYSTALBALL. We can't know right now whether or not Gill will have sustained coverage in the press (WP:1E) or whether or not he will remain low-profile (WP:BLP1E). I also disagree with the idea that he sought out media; from every indication, it seems to have happened the other way around. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 03:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Reuters doxxed someone, and then everyone else wrote about the doxxing. 64.246.153.97 (talk) 04:13, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reuters did not dox anyone. He gave an interview. He runs a YouTube channel that makes his personality, his likeness, and his portfolio known. He has made no attempts to stay low-profile. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 12:02, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Elliot321. This is WP:NOTBLP1E. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 05:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per other comments, not all requirements are met for 1 event, nor is the event insignificant. However I would suggest renaming, as his coverage uses often uses his real name, not just his reddit or other social (YouTube etc) usernames. This article is named after the reddit user, but his notability is not specific only to that. DrGvago (talk) 13:40, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, considering the subject has been the subject of several profiles from RSes like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. -Shivertimbers433 (talk) 00:18, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Numerous media stories. Integral figure for understanding the GameStop story, and why WallStreetBets has attracted millions of new members in such a short time. This feels like deletionism for the sake of deletionism. Edited to add: Once kept, I'd vote to change the article title to Keith Gill, as the story has legs, and he is becoming (or already is) widely known by his real name, as in [10]. Also, technically, this article, if DFV were kept as the title, should be "u/DeepFuckingValue" due to Reddit quirks, but then it starts to get ridiculous.

    If we were to redirect it, would you be suggesting that we redirect it to the disambiguation page that currently exists at Keith Gill? Or would the article continue to exist as-is, just at a different title? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 04:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep the article as is, just at a different title. This is what I mean. Sorry for the confusion.Newslack (talk) 04:53, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    No worries! I just wanted to clarify as, typically, when "redirect" is suggested in an AfD discussion, it is intended that the content of the article be replaced with a redirect without being moved elsewhere. Provided it's okay with you, I'll strike out the bolded part of your original comment to make your intent clear to the person closing this discussion. If you want your voice heard on the issue of changing the article title, though, I would strongly recommend you leave a note at Talk:DeepFuckingValue § Requested move 2 February 2021. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 05:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. History is in the making, this individual is about to testify in congress as he is a significant person of interest, that alone is good reason to keep this as a separate article.N7ee (talk) 05:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC) N7ee (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Keep There is one simple question we must ask. Is DeepFuckingValue a noteworthy individual, or is he not? I would say by the fact that the news is reporting on him this very day in the very serious chance hes interviewed by a congressional committee, that the answer is evidently yes. In addition, the argument being made claims that hes primarily known for one event and therefore not noteworthy. By this logic, the article for Sirhan Sirhan should be folded into the article on Robert F Kennedy's assassination, as he is an individual whose sole noteworthy act was involved in a single, larger incident. (Note: This was the first comparison I could think of, this is in no way intended to imply a personal opinion on this individual equating him to an assassin.) Jyggalypuff (talk) 06:15, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Merge with one of the other articles on the GME squeeze. Wikipedia is not the news. This is a clear example of recentism. Having said that, I suggest it be held off for a month or so. Otherwise a new one will be created. Hollth (talk) 10:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Merge to GameStop short squeeze. A lot of people have very shallow understanding of notability rules. WP:RECENTISM and WP:NOTNEWS apply here. Just because something grabs headlines doesn't mean it gets an article. However a lot of people, those who vote, often just see something as having sources and then say that's enough without considering other policies. And a lot of what people consider "notable" ends up being totally subjective. WP:TOOSOON applies here too because we have no idea how this will play out or if this guy will get more notability later on. Harizotoh9 (talk) 15:58, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or redirect to Keith Patrick Gill - It's clear that DeepFuckingValue is tied to a notable topic, and there seems to be enough content here to warrant him having his own article versus a section on the short squeeze page. The upcoming congressional testimony, although not currently mentioned in the article, adds another point for his notability. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 17:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as per the reasoning outlined in Elliot321's initial comment. Cautilus (talk) 08:05, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to r/wallstreetbets (or GameStop short squeeze as second choice): it's absolutely WP:BLP1E. I've done my DD as I hear the redditors are calling it and there's no coverage I could find of this man prior to the squeeze. If he testifies at Congress and is widely quoted and covered in news media then the situation has changed, but we do not presume that something will happen even if today it looks likely to. — Bilorv (talk) 16:51, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:NACTOR; I added a Chicago Sun-Times and a ReelChicago review for her recent film, and a Hollywood Reporter review of a previous film, as well as a Getty Images reference indicating she was a guest star on a television show that is noted in other press as part of her career (e.g. Chicago Tribune), so it looks like Johanningmeier has "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows," and has just recently cleared this criteria with her latest film. I also think the filmography chart is a great addition but it could be split into films and television shows to make her acting career more clear. Beccaynr (talk) 01:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep according to Clause #3 of WP:SKCRIT i.e. "The nomination is so erroneous that it indicates the nominator has not even read the page in question." Umakant Bhalerao, please explain how this is a " cut and dried case of WP:1E" when the subject was in the news for different incidents in 2020 and 2021. My maths may be weak but it looks to me like 2 Events and not 1, how could you miss that? I suggest you withdraw this erroneous nomination. WP:GNG is easily met due to both national and international media (BBC, Deutsche Welle, Guardian,[1] Independent[2]) covering it. Refs for 2021 incident.[3][4][5] Refs for 2020 incident.[6][7][8] I started the article. Walrus Ji (talk) 11:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

References

@Walrus Ji: I've already gone through the references including ones you have posted above and they are all about Munawar Faruqui being booked and detained over cracking Anti-hindi jokes. I literally did not find any sources except these when I did a name search on Google. If you provide any three sources that show he has received in-depth significant coverage prior to this incident, i will be more than happy to withdraw my nomination.--Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 12:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Umakant Bhalerao, How is this a 1 Event case, when I gave reliable source of 2 events separated by year? He is covered in every Indian newspaper (> 40) you can find them just by clicking the links on this AfD page search option. I could also find 4 reputed international news papers listed above. Is this not enough for you? You seem to have some unrealistic standards for GNG that even international coverage seems to be not meeting for you. There seem to be some fundamental issue in the understanding of GNG. Walrus Ji (talk) 12:37, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Walrus Ji: Ok so what are his accomplishments? Does he have notable performances? Did we know him before or was he ever discussed in the media prior to this incident? He's probably only been in the news because of making derogatory comments against a religion and cracking offensive jokes in videos. I would ask you to let other editors participate in the discussion and put forward their views.--Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 13:07, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Umakant Bhalerao, He is getting the international coverage for what he did (and did not). People get coverage and hence notability for all kind of reason. Anyway, you still have not answered, why you are continuing to ignore the fact that he was in the news in 2020 as well. Are you saying that those 2020 coverage links don't exist? This nomination, built over 1Event rule, fails there itself. The international coverage, passes GNG. Yes this can go on for a week, but you have an option to withdraw. Walrus Ji (talk) 13:24, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Walrus Ji: I have seen many articles discussed in international media and they were yet deleted. Being in the news is not enough and we also need to see why the subject is being in the news. I don't see any notable works by him, neither was he discussed in the media due to his performances before. All i see is he got booked and detained over making offensive statements about a religion and its very common for media to report such things, especially in India. I think i have made clear why i believe this article does not meet the notability requirements for a biography. the final decision now rests with the admin.--Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 14:33, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It's another article in the series of freedom of speech violations of artists, ( in other news : journalists, protesters, farmers) by the ruling government and supporter mobs. As BBC also noted in an article: [1]

His arrest is being seen as the latest assault on freedom of speech in India, encouraged by vigilante activism by Hindu mobs and exacerbated by trolling by online armies on social media. Last year, at least half-a-dozen comics apologised for hurting religious sentiments.

  • Delete - it is the second nom. Fails WP:SINGER. There is some media presence, but mostly related to her extravagant clothing on a few awards ceremonies. Kolma8 (talk) 21:24, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is a close call because she has a charting single ([11]) and some media notoriety in "worst dressed" lists. She has some listings for modeling work, and gets noticed occasionally for her gimmick of singing in lots of different languages. Those are minor achievements that the article desperately over-interprets with terms like "controversial" and "pushing the boundaries", or implying that she is a social justice champion because she has LGBT fans. She is present in the media but not quite comprehensively enough for the requirements at WP:NSINGER and WP:NMODEL. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:39, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete a non-notable singer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:24, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep a Wikipedia topic fall for 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. This topic has everything that is needed to fulfil General notability guideline. According to WP:SINGER second rule (Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.) and serval other rules this topic meets WP:SINGER and singing in lots of different languages isn't minor achievements. WP:NSINGER has no guideline for having good third party charting like this ([12]). The topic also falls under WP:NMODEL, with significant roles in multiple notable singles, large fan base and made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. So this topic is nominated the second time, which seemed clear attack as it was last time.Umair Ahmad Butt (talk) 03:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per arguments above: plenty of non-trivial coverage in independent sources, Sadads (talk) 15:12, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I revised the organization of the article, added a reference from HuffPost, and edited WP:PUFFERY. Per WP:MUSICBIO, Z LaLa had a single on the Billboard chart for twelve weeks, with a peak position of 10, so notability is supported. In addition, she objectively appears to have WP:BASIC coverage of her "notable style" in independent and reliable sources (e.g. SFGate, HuffPost, Business Insider, E!Online) because "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability."

  • Keep - squarely meets NACTOR. There are enough reliable sources already in the article, specifically about this person, to comfortably pass the "Significant coverage" requirement of WP:GNG. Creation by an SPA is always a concern, but unless there's evidence the creator is evading a ban, it's not cause by itself for deletion (if the subject is appropriate but the content questionable, the correct thing to do is to remove or fix the questionable content). As it is now, the article seems uncontentious and not promotional, a fairly standard actor bio. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 22:16, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not assert any notability beyond King of the Claddagh, which is not enough to meet Wikipedia notability guidelines once it became an honorary role.

  • Delete per nom. The (ceremonial/honorary) office/title held by the subject doesn't meet WP:NPOL or applicable criteria. There is nothing to indicate that there is enough coverage of the subject (independent of the office/title) to the extent that WP:SIGCOV or WP:ANYBIO is met. (Various attempted searches in the Irish Times and other national papers return nothing. At all.) In all honesty, all modern/ceremonial holders of this title should likely just be covered (if refs are available) in the King of the Claddagh. Each doesn't need their own titles/articles/redirects.

Was previously deleted via PROD with the rationale Expired PROD, concern was: Having searched for additional references, I am convinced that this man fails to meet Wikipedia’s notability criteria. The existing article, which reads like a puff piece, is very dependent on sources directly associated with him. Once you strip away all the stuff referenced from sites he is associated with there’s almost a total absence of reliable third-party coverage. This rationale still applies.

This source is not independent, we have a passing mention in Buzzfeed, a brief article in the Romford Recorder and a YouTube video. A WP:BEFORE search does not yield any WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS, only more passing mentions like this. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 12:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Should Not Be Deleted the subject has been notable in the south Indian film industry. Very strong references have also been submitted to justify the claims.

Being a CEO of a company in itself is not an assertion of notability. The subject lacks enough in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources. Most of the references provided in the article are mere mentions, press releases, comments by the subject which are not considered as an independent coverage and do not help to establish notability.

COMMENT - This discussion desperately needs context, because this article doesn't explain, at all, what this guy is really notable for! He changed MAC computing, profoundly, and permanently.

Here is what this guy is actually notable for:

It's NOT, as the article presents it, that he founded a tech company, that has X amount of revenue, this or that financial stat, or this many employees. No... it's that he is a legit OG in the world of MAC computing because of the massive impact of the tools he developed and popularized. Granted you can't remove that from the company he used to do it, but he (and the company itself) are notable for disruptive innovation, specifically through the software tools he helped develop and popularize.

Here is the real story on notability for this guy, in non-technical terms. Before Jamf, MACs were for hipster dudes in coffee shops to use to do art or whatever, but your work computer? That was going to be a PC, because PC owned enterprise computing, completely. MACs stayed in coffee shops. The reason was that there were no tools to manage big networks of MACs at the enterprise level; they didn't exist. Enter Jamf, with tools for just that very thing. Fast Forward to present day... those tools are in widespread use... Almost all the largest fortune 500 companies and top universities are using them to manage large enterprise MAC networks. IBM! Freakin' IBM, the grandfather of PC computing now runs the worlds largest MAC deployment with like 300,000 devices using those tools. <--- THAT, is what is notable, not that the company made money from it and hired a lot of new employees, etc.

I hope that context is helpful in your analysis, because the article definitely doesn't say it (but it needs to, if it survives). Very few sources lay it out as plainly as I just did, but it helps explain things like, why are college MAC programming textbooks quoting this guy? Why is this guy giving keynote addresses at MAC conferences? Why is this dude the go-to guy for every tech journalist who needs a quote about enterprise MAC computing?

KEEP - Based on the analysis & source assessment chart below, the cites do meet the general, as well as the more contextual, specific notability guidelines:

Analysis: Application of relevant guidelines to sources in the assessment chart
  • Meets "significant coverage" under WP:GNG.
    • "Multiple" sources enough, significant coverage in "most" isn't required (as the nomination indicates). Notability only requires "multiple" sources with significant coverage, see GNG's WP:SIGCOV (three sources is a general rule of thumb).
    • Sources below are not "mere mentions": This is the meat of the objection, so the assessment chart below addresses this for each source individually.
  • Meets "significant coverage" under WP:SNG (better than the GNG alone; provides in-context guidelines & examples).
    • A person's" significant coverage" requirement for a single source is lower than other topics. Specifically, this is because WP:PEOPLE uniquely allows combining multiple articles to show "depth of coverage". In other contexts, each source individually must be in depth enough to show significant coverage. When a person's notability is at issue, no single individual source alone must contain significant coverage, stating in WP:BASIC, "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; ... and,
    • Company notability is evidence of CEO's/Founder's Notability; Jamf, is notable under WP:COMPANY, which indicates It's not simply "a company" (as the nom states). Wikipedia agrees, (Jamf, specifically, is notable). In the specific context of publicly traded companies (JAMF is its NASDAQ symbol),WP:LISTED indicates a presumption of notability, "given the very high (but not certain) likelihood that a publicly traded company is actually notable" and also WP:LISTED indicates the exact type of source assessed below is ideal. It provides that "independent press coverage and analyst reports.. establish notability".
Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
Forbes article Yes It's Forbes Yes It's Forbes Yes Entire article is historical bio of him & partner founding Jamf. Yes
Business Insider Australia Yes Zero connection to this guy; it's literally on the other side of the world Yes Extremely reputable publication Yes Also a historical bio. The "Two Guys" in the title? He is one of them. Yes
Combined 23 Business Journal articles spanning 12 years Yes standard business periodical; No COI Yes national publisher with affiliates in every US region Yes WP:PEOPLE uniquely allows combining (see analysis) Yes
CIO magazinearticle Yes Strong editorial process, no connection Yes Well known international publication Yes not a bio, but a perfect example of the MANY articles where this guy is the "explainer-in-chief" of MAC enterprise computing Yes
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

Though he appears to have been the lead on Chandrashekhar (TV series), doing a search for his name and that title only yields passing mentions at Tellychakkar, an entertainment site, i.e. not a vetted news source. Similar lack of references searching his name with other show titles. So, fails WP:GNG, and with one major role, seems to fail WP:NACTOR as well.

WP:BIO1E of a person notable only for having had a minor local street renamed after him following his death. This is not significant enough to make him permanently notable for the purposes of an international encyclopedia -- a very large percentage of all streets everywhere (not all, certainly, but a lot) are named after local people for one reason or another, so this can't be an automatic notability freebie for every single person who ever had a street named after them. It would take a lot more evidence of sustained international significance, passing the ten year test, to make him notable enough for permanent inclusion in an international encyclopedia.

Fails WP:GNG - The only reliable independent sources were My Jewish Learning, YU Torah, and Jewish Holidays, and those weren't actually super relevant to his career. The other sources pulled from were a school newspaper known as the Shalhevet Boiling Point, several about the author sections from Urim Publications, the actual amazon page of a book, and other sources that don't prove notability. Further searches find no other possible sources that mention him in any meaningful way. I chose not to notify the creator of the article of this discussion, not only because the creator has a clear conflict of interest, and not only because they pushed this article through after it was rejected from AfC for complete plagiarism of a non-notable and unreliable source, but because they have been blocked for sockpuppetry at two proposed speedy deletions of this article. I don't see reason to keep this article. I could be wrong, and that Yitzchak Etshalom is actually notable and these sources barely pass him through GNG. It's close. But I personally believe this article should be deleted - there's an argument to be made that Rabbi Etshalom is accomplished and should be notable, but I don't believe he is right now. Theleekycauldron (talk) 07:28, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The post was kind of long, and I don't want to fearmonger, but we should probably keep watch for further sockpuppetry if the creator finds out.

  • I have edited, read the article and I do believe that Yitzchak Etshalom is a notable person. I would like to see more sources but It should not be deleted. The newspaper article does show notability in my opinion. Rosh Beit Midrash is big position in what I've researched. The sources are fine, just more are needed. They were not fine when they were from amazon.com but those were removed. I believe this article subject is noteworthy and should not be deleted. From the sources one can clearly see that Yitzchak Etshalom is notable within the Jewish community of Los Angeles I think this article needs a few better sources. Overall I am contesting this deletion I think it should be closed and better sources should be added. (judged by nominator as Keep)
@Sycolo: Sources from Urim Publications are what's known as "paid sources" - where the institution has something to gain from giving an unreliable description. I'm not alleging that Urim Publications has done that, but as a general policy, Wikipedia doesn't rely on publisher "about the author" sections as a reliable source (see WP:SPONSORED). As for the newspaper, the Shalhevet Boiling Point is a school newspaper, and while school newspapers can be used to provide some basic background information, they do not establish notability on their own. Also, I'm curious - why would you revert the SineBot signing your post? It seems strange given that I can see who wrote this anyway. Theleekycauldron (talk) 19:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
First off, I am new to wikipedia, I am just trying to contribute and give back to what Ive benefited for years off of. Thank you for explaining that. I would agree then in that case that those are unreliable sources and should be removed. I think that school newspaper is an overused for a school newspaper considering what you told me.

That's fine. Sign all your posts with four tildes, ~~~~. My problem is, if there's nothing left after removing those sources, which is essentially correct, then the article is inherently non-notable. Should Yitzchak Etshalom have greater press coverage? In my opinion, yeah, absolutely. Does he right now? No, not enough to warrant an article here. Theleekycauldron (talk) 19:19, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would argue that Yitzchak Etshalom is notable because of the multiple sources written on him. My main issue with this article is that some of the sources may be compromised so I would like new sources but he is notable and I am contesting this deletion just clean up the self published ones and add some non compromised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.49.104.175 (talk) 18:57, 1 February 2021 (UTC) (judged by nominator as Keep)[reply]
@67.49.104.175: To establish notability per the general notability guidelines, there needs to be multiple independent, reliable, significant sources providing in-depth coverage about the subject. Urim Publications is a sponsored source, making it unreliable, and the Shalhevet Boiling point is a school newspaper, meaning it could be useful but it cannot establish notability. The rest of the sources similarly do not establish notability.

@Kieran207: The 18 Jan CNBC article is about the action of ordering the shutdown of the Capitol complex.[1]. The 19 Jan Politico article includes more than passing reference to Pittman's career, the actions she has taken since becoming Acting Chief and the challenges she faces.[2]. The 26 Jan People and CNN articles are about the action of appearing before a congressional hearing with the House Appropriations Committee.[4][5] The People article also covers actions she took during the Capitol Riot,[4] which are separate from the event of her being appointed as a result of the Capitol Riot. By my count 4 of the 6 articles quoted are about actions Pittman has taken, not just what she has said. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2021 (UTC) updated Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 11:26, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Additional reason to keep: WP:BLP1E requires 3 conditions to be met (1. reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. 2. that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. 3. the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. - see WP:BLP1E for full wording). 1 is not met, see above, so in consequence 2 is not met. 3 is not met because if the event is the Capitol Riot and its aftermath, then the event is significant, or if the event is Pittman's appointment then Pittman's role in that event is central, without her the event could not have occured which to my way of thinking is way above the threshold of substatnital, and in addition the appointment was well documented. Any one of the conditions not being met is sufficient for WP:BLP1E not to apply, but all three? Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 11:51, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For me, only the Politico article is a valuable RS about her. The Jan 18 article just mentions her as a passing reference, and the other articles mention her only in relation to the Capitol Riot, as they are congressional hearings or interviews about what happened during or near the time of the Riot.

Though this Supreme Court case was notable, and many of the participants are notable individuals, this list of participants is not a notable topic, as the Supreme Court case was thrown out, and there have not been any consequences for these House members. The participants are mentioned in passing in Texas_v._Pennsylvania#Participants, and full lists can be found in the citations.

The topic of listing out these participants was discussed in Talk:Texas_v._Pennsylvania/Archive_1#Lists_of_"participants", but was never resolved, so I am bringing this page to AfD for a wider discussion. Natg 19 (talk) 00:42, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge As I said before, this is important information that absolutely belongs at Texas v. Pennsylvania, not chopped off into another article that gets 2% of the main article's pageviews. Might as well delete it altogether if it's split to an unread page. The signatories and lawsuit plaintiffs were significantly covered in national and regional news through this process, much more than those of other amicus briefs, and we should make this clear on the main article. No part of this is indiscriminate or undue, all being prominent politicians whose participation here received clear and substantial coverage as context to the lawsuit. Reywas92Talk 01:26, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete At this point, clearly nothing appears to be set to happen to this specific list of people (it would be those that subsequently voted on Jan 6 to try to challenge the results, which includes many of these people, but even *those* people are unlikely to see anything given the way the political winds have shifted.) We have have reference links that provide all these to those that are curious but the full list is overkill for Wikipedia's coverage of a case that didn't even get heard at SCOTUS. This is very much failing WP:NOT#NEWS at this point. --Masem (t) 01:30, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Texas v. Pennsylvania: Failure is not a criterion of notability. Plenty of failed battles, putsches and coups are of historic significance. Further, the argument that the suit was frivolous, baseless and of no legal merit makes these signatories more, not less, noteworthy. These are elected legislators and yet they signed on to the thing. DolyaIskrina (talk) 19:52, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Texas v. Pennsylvania, the full list of parties is always appropriate to list in a case article, even if only in a footnote (the infobox usually can only fit in an "et al" when there are as many as here). NOTNEWS has no bearing here because this information will always be a part of that notable case, if they formally signed on then they are parties (however nominatively) so we're not just talking about who voiced support. postdlf (talk) 22:35, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If it's just the basic facts and discography, it is not reliable. Same goes for the album pages: when the album has a staff written review, it is reliable. When it's only a track listing and user reviews, it's not reliable. This case the Allmusic entry doesn't contain a biography, so it's unreliable. IMDb is not reliable in any case.

  • Keep - I'm definitely not an expert on the Indian press, but WP:RSNP lists The Hindu and The Indian Express as both generally reliable. The Hindustan Times and The Statesman appear to be major Indian newspapers of record. I would say that reviews in those outlets are probably sufficient to meet WP:NAUTHOR and/or the GNG.

  • Keep. Article needs more thorough sourcing but this looks like a pass of WP:PROF#C8 (founding editor of a journal which is arguable notable although we have no article on it), of #C5 ("New Jersey Professor of Mathematics Education at Rutgers University"), and plausibly also of #C1 (heavy citations for "Constructivist Views on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics" and "The notion of limit: Some seemingly unavoidable misconception stages") and #C7 (through both the effects of the Madison project on elementary-level education can be documented and his work as mathematics advisor to Sesame Street). And the nominator's rationale seems to boil down to "people cannot be notable for being professors" which is just incorrect. The primary nature of the sources is irrelevant to academic notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:01, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per the comments above and, I am tempted to say, per nom: "only notable as a university professor." We do have an entire notability guideline, WP:PROF, dealing specifically with notability of university professors. I have added a ref to the subject's bio in the 13th edition of the American Men and Women of Science (the source is mentioned in the Phil Church's bio of Davis and I looked it up using my university library online access, although the item is currently behind a paywall.)

The Telegraph is not an RS?Slatersteven (talk) 16:51, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Vice article is explicitly about Rose, not Icke. One BBC piece is about Icke, the other is about Rose. As per Slatersteven, what's wrong with the other sources? Press Gazette, CNBC, News-24.fr etc. are all clearly reliable. OK, WP:RSP says there's no consensus on Salon. The only source that seems dodgy to me is Living Vegan. Bondegezou (talk) 09:17, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Reviewing the citations in the article, we have one long, in depth piece about Rose [16]; a short puff piece about Rose [17], but is it RS?; and three short pieces about Rose [18] [19] [20] on his mayoral campaign. The Salon and Press Gazette pieces are not primarily about Rose, but do contain significant coverage of Rose. The Telegraph, CNBC and News-24.fr pieces contain significant coverage of his channel London Real and mention Rose. The ITV piece has significant coverage of London Real but does not mention Rose. Politifact, swlondoner, El Confidencial, Deadline and McGill all just mention Rose. The other BBC News piece mentions Rose's Icke interview, but does not mention Rose by name. Vice + Salon + Press Gazette + first BBC News piece + Indy100 seems plenty to satisfy WP:GNG. The mayoral candidacy on its own would fail WP:NPOL. Some of the coverage focuses more on London Real, so I did wonder if it was better to have an article on that than on Rose. But I think, combined, it makes sense to have a Rose article on his actions (Vice), London Real stuff (including the Icke interview - Press Gazette/Salon/Telegraph/CNBC/News-24.fr) and his candidacy (second BBC News piece/Indy100/City AM). Bondegezou (talk) 19:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is further coverage of Rose that doesn't add to the article and isn't cited, but demonstrates notability. Being arrested while campaigning was also covered by the Metro and EuroWeekly News, and mentioned by the Local Government Chronicle. Esquire has a piece inspired by Rose, although not really on him. GQ mentioned him. CoinGeek mentioned him. There's a bigger chunk on him in this piece from Fast Company. But beware there are a lot of other Brian Roses in the world, notably Brian Rose (boxer). Bondegezou (talk) 19:23, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Brian Rose is a prospective candidate in the upcoming London Mayoral elections, so I am not surprised to see that an article has been whipped up as potential publicity material. This is not mere cynicism on my part: a couple of determined and eager IP addresses have been editing the 2021 London Mayor election article to add/amend Brian Rose's details. We have to see this article for what it is, a rushed CV padded out with citations, and for me, it's certainly not passing GNG, it certainly borderline fails POLITICIAN and with the context of an upcoming election, there are questions about what this article is being used for - campaigning? If Rose does anything notable at the election, then we can revisit this question. But for now, it's a no. Delete. doktorb wordsdeeds 23:55, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I started the article, prompted by the discovery that Rose had the second shortest odds (after the strong favourite, Sadiq Khan), in the 2021 London mayoral election, with leading bookmakers including William Hill and Paddy Power. Living in London, and having never even heard of him, as a curious Wikipedian I had to find out more. There is plenty about him online, albeit much in sources of marginal or doubtful reliability. I was subsequently surprised by the level of editing activity, and as usual the article is better for it. I think there is enough in the article to meet WP:GNG. Also created London Real as a redirect to him, as it appears to be very much his personal vehicle. Incidentally, we have articles for several other fringe candidates with longer odds, (see 2021_London_mayoral_election#Other_candidates), such as Piers Corbyn and David Kurten, both also on the COVID/lockdown/vaccine sceptic/conspiracy theorist spectrum.

Alright, here it goes. So, I stumbled upon this article after I began thinking about creating an article on her as well. However, it can quickly be ascertained that she does not qualify for an article per WP:GNG. Most of these articles are press releases with a passing mention of her (except for ref #10 which is a press release focused on her) or blogs (like Awful Announcing). I waited to see if anything would come out of this Barstool controversy (ie. articles focusing on her) but nothing has happened. She may be notable on Hockey Twitter(TM) but not for Wikipedia HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:07, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. I found the article as it was being mass-attacked, presumably by Barstool fans.

  • In regards to her role as a sports journalist, I concede to the previously stated assessments. Would placing primacy on her role as the play-by-play announcer for the Pride impact any notability assessments, as many play-by-play commentators who are known for their work with a specific team have Wikipedia pages? Given the relatively small number of bios for women who are not players/coaches working in ice hockey, I would be very willing to rework the page if the modifications might result in "Keep." This is a question asked in good faith and I would really appreciate it if a minimum level of respect could be maintained in any responses. Cheers. – Spitzmauskc (talk) 02:58, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Spitzmauskc, that is a good question. I did check out other articles on female sports announcers recently but all the hockey-related ones had at least one independent news coverage of them (usually about them being the "first). She just doesn't pass GNG yet. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:05, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Like anything that people want to write an article about on Wikipedia she would have to have multiple independent sources about her. So what her role happens to be is somewhat moot if there are no sources about her because even play by play people would need independent sources. -DJSasso (talk) 12:27, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

          • The "Africa in Soviet Studies" source discusses a "false letter". This letter they're speaking about discusses a letter which Xoosh claims was forged by the British to be derived from a man named Salah, a revered individual who the British knew was influential enough to cause a rift within the anti-colonial camp. According to the claim of Xoosh or Hosh, the original letter contained no damnation of the anti-colonial struggle, whilst the forged letter did. (if you are interested in the Salah letter, this page gives some insight [21]). As for the "Diwaanka" source, you most sources have snippets, but this link gives you most of the content (here). If you try word-find the term "Xoosh" on that page, you frequently see "waxaan ka qoray" before the name of Xoosh. The term "waxaan ka qoray" literally translates to "this was derived from" or "this was written from". On the extended Diiwaanka version you see even more such examples. In each of these examples entire chapters of colonial and pre-colonial history is singularly derived from this man. The entire chapter you see on these pages come from this man as a source.

              • Okay, now its your turn to translate what "madaxdii Daraawiisheed" means. It means "head of the Dervishes", meaning Xoosh was among those who led the longest lasting anti-colonial resistance in African hsitory.

  • Keep or Merge to USS Eversole (DE-404) . If a reader wants to know "Who was that ship named after and what did he/she do?" we should tell them, even if they don't merit an independent article. PamD 10:45, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:PamD most of these short namesake bios come from the DANFS entry about the ship (here for Eversole: [24]) and so they should all be on the relevant ship page already. regards Mztourist (talk) 12:16, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mztourist: "Should" but in the cases I've looked at there is not as much info in the ship page as in the short bio - hence my suggestion of "Merge" not just redirect: where there is content available about the namesake of the ship, the reader should be able to find that content in Wikipedia, whether in the ship article or in a standalone article. PamD 12:39, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Its all in the DANFS page so they can just read it there, or it can be copypasted onto the ship page. Mztourist (talk) 13:39, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So we should delete and leave a notice for any potentially interested readers to "just go to DANSF"...? I don't think sending people away to other sources is a good business model for WP. Just sayin' - wolf 00:54, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:N, "Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article."

  • Keep - Warships are expensive. Being chosen as a namesake of an expensive naval vessel is a form of peer recognition. We acknowledge that peer recognition is a strong notability factor in other fields, like WP:ACADEMIC, and the same should hold true here. Geo Swan (talk) 19:56, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As I noted in a previous discussion, "there were nearly 400 destroyers built in the Fletcher/Sumner/Gearing classes." As with the submarines (named after fish) and the various coastal patrol boats in WW I (named after just about anything) and Liberty/Victory ships, just coming up with enough names was an effort. This is not a rare distinction: it was a WW II commonplace. Mangoe (talk) 19:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As a matter of housekeeping, I would note that this is there is a previous nomination for deletion that just went down the tubes. This is the second nomination. This fact is being knowingly suppressed – on this and many articles. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edward Henry Allen. The record should be corrected accordingly. There is a systemic attempt to hide that fact over many articles.
This is a procedural hijack and an attempt to make sure that editors who do their job properly won't have time to respond. This is 'putting old wine into new bottles' — doing by indirection that which you cannot do by direction.
This is relevant, and it should be fixed. It is a fact. It is always put into the history. I've never seen this, and it is a direct result of the misbegotten attempt to purge a couple of hundred articles. And all at once, overwhelming the limited number of editors who actively try to save articles, while at the same time trolling those editors to make their job difficult and discourage them with distractions. Apparently it takes no time to resurrect hundreds of Navy Cross/Silver Star/Ship name honorees for deletion. It takes a lot of time to respond and improve all of these articles. This is in fact a second nomination (among many). And given the fact that there is no good faith compliance with WP:Before and a blatant disregard of sources that exist but aren't cited — which do factor in to notability, this sneak attack is (dare I say it) ... a date that will live in infamy. You are distorting the process and rigging the outcomes.
The Navy thought enough of him that they named two ships in his honor.
Subject meets or exceeds WP:GNG. No compliance with WP:Before. The protocol is that one should not only look at the present cited sources, but available sources, too.
As to available sources, it is to be noted that George M. Campbell was part of the same flight, and has a similar AFD. 7&6=thirteen () 19:05, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There was no discussion of this specific page (nor any of the others below where you've cut and pasted the same comments) in the mass deletion which was closed as a procedural keep. What possible difference would it make if this was marked as the 2nd Nomination? I'll tell you, none whatsoever. He lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS as do most of these single Navy Cross ship namesakes. Spare us the outrage and add RS if they exist. Mztourist (talk) 03:54, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It shows the timing and the intent and the out of step process. The nominator knew about the prior nomination, as he had done them both. He chose to omit it.
If it makes no difference, why was it hidden?
Why was that fact suppressed? Answer me that. 7&6=thirteen () 11:20, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No one is suppressing anything and your argument is nonsense; posting it to all of these AfDs is borderline DE and definetely PW:POINTY.  // Timothy :: talk  12:04, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong. Your unsubstantiated Ipse dixit statement should not be confused with an explanation by the nominator.
Not one omission. It was repeated, over and over and over again.
Wholesale deletions require wholesale responses. Every article had related problems. 7&6=thirteen () 13:24, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
More nonsense, the nom doesn't have the power to supress anything, everyone knows this, and you still have no sources.  // Timothy :: talk  13:36, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to USS Eversole (DE-404), fails GNG. Cavalryman (talk) 00:57, 2 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]
  • Redirect to USS Eversole (DE-404) for the same reasons as all these other Navy Cross honorees. In a sense, it's a reverse case of WP:NOTINHERITED, as nobody would seriously have considered him worthy of his own article if the ships hadn't been named after him. The Navy Cross is a second tier valor medal, and in this case it is more evident than ever that there's nothing to say beyond a very short action description which is certainly already in the ship articles. We do not need to multiply the number of articles simply to pay tribute to people; indeed, we shouldn't do so. A redirect to the the very short narrative in the ship article is enough to inform readers. Mangoe (talk) 19:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge with USS Harold J. Ellison (DD-864). While the most preferred target was the cancelled DE-545 destroyer escort, I assume that is a result of the bandwagon effect, and that given the choice, most people would prefer the target to be the destroyer DD-864 since that one was actually built.

  • Keep in my view, having the US Navy name a commissioned ship for an individual should confer notability of the subject. Merging into multiple other ship pages just feels sloppy and harder to maintain as we find time/sources to improve a bio article about this person.

  • Keep As a matter of housekeeping, I would note that this is there is a previous nomination for deletion that just went down the tubes. This is the second nomination. This fact is being knowingly suppressed – on this and many articles. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edward Henry Allen. The record should be corrected accordingly. There is a systemic attempt to hide that fact over many articles.
This is a procedural hijack and an attempt to make sure that editors who do their job properly won't have time to respond. This is 'putting old wine into new bottles' — doing by indirection that which you cannot do by direction.
This is relevant, and it should be fixed. It is a fact. It is always put into the history. I've never seen this, and it is a direct result of the misbegotten attempt to purge a couple of hundred articles.

Apparently it takes no time to resurrect hundreds of Navy Cross/Silver Star/Ship name honorees for deletion. It takes a lot of time to respond and improve all of these articles. This is in fact a second nomination (among many). And given the fact that there is no good faith compliance with WP:Before and a blatant disregard of sources that exist but aren't cited — which do factor in to notability, this sneak attack is (dare I say it) ... a date that will live in infamy.

  • Delete per Mztourist. A DFC is a DFC in this regard, and it might have the most captivating story behind it, but it's not the highest or second highest decoration. The references in the Career section appear to be somewhere in between trivial non-trivial mentions, but I have a hard time understanding how some of the assertions are supported by the sources.

  • Redirect to List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II. Does not meet WP:NSOLDIER, and in no SN is having a ship named after you grounds for automatic notability. The current sourcing does not meet the level necessary to pass WP:GNG, and searches did not turn up anything more substantial. He gets mentioned in action reports regarding the battle, but nothing in-depth, unlike George H. Gay Jr., the lone survivor of the action. I would say merge to the ship's article, however, since the ship was never completed, it does not have one. Personally, I think that all Navy Cross awardees (and their counterparts in the Air Force and Army) should be part of NSOLDIER, but currently, they are not.

  • Keep, passes GNG, two sources (Mrazak & Mooney) provide SIGCOV. Cavalryman (talk) 01:30, 2 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]
  • Not Delete Either Userfy/Draftify or Redirect to List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II and Merge with VT-8 (Squadron 8), or Keep, depending on the notability & significance of the ship being named after him, relative to that of a "nation's second-highest award for valour."
A single Navy Cross is insufficient for WP:SOLDIER, and as far as WP:ANYBIO, it's hard to say that having an (uncompleted) destroyer escort named after a person (during WW2) qualifies as "a well-known and significant award or honor." If it is sufficient, it should be included on the WP:SOLDIER page.
However, I'm wondering how it compares to a "nation's second-highest award for valour." [I.E. Is it more or less of a "well-known and significant award or honor" than a nation's second-highest award for valour?] If it is at-least as well-known and significant as a nation's second-highest award for valour, then perhaps it could be combined with his Navy Cross to qualify as being equivalent to 2 second-highest award for valours, and thus qualify for WP:SOLDIER.Yaakovaryeh (talk) 09:17, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with VT-8. I agree with Cavalryman that these two sources might make the subject meet GNG. On the other hand, he is really only notable for WP:ONEEVENT and might not qualify for a stand-alone article. Merging seems a good idea to preserve the reliably sourced content.

  • Keep As a matter of housekeeping, I would note that this is there is a previous nomination for deletion that just went down the tubes. This is the second nomination. This fact is being knowingly suppressed – on this and many articles. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edward Henry Allen. The record should be corrected accordingly. There is a systemic attempt to hide that fact over many articles.
This is a procedural hijack and an attempt to make sure that editors who do their job properly won't have time to respond.
This is relevant, and it should be fixed. It is a fact. It is always put into the history. I've never seen this, and it is a direct result of the misbegotten attempt to purge a couple of hundred articles. And all at once, overwhelming the limited number of editors who actively try to save articles, while at the same time trolling those editors to make their job difficult and discourage them with distractions. Apparently it takes no time to resurrect hundreds of Navy Cross/Silver star/Ship name honorees for deletion. It takes a lot of time to respond and improve all of these articles. This is in fact a second nomination (among many). And given the fact that there is no good faith compliance with WP:Before and a blatant disregard of sources that exist but aren't cited — which do factor in to notability, this sneak attack is (dare I say it) ... a date that will live in infamy.

  • Comment I found a few sources of Hürriyet: [26], [27], [28], though I’m having trouble to understand what this is. Is it a stage name for VEYasin or is it an album? Because one of the sources calls him "DJ Hey Douglas" while this article says its a project. We need to look into WP:ENT or WP:NALBUM depending on what it is.

  • Merge to USS Harry F. Bauer, selectively, following GPL93's suggestion. He doesn't meet WP:NSOLDIER, or WP:GNG, and contrary to what has been said, having a ship named after you is not part of any SN. Also, unless I missed something in the article, or in the sources, he was not awarded the Navy Cross, but the Silver Star. which is a couple of grades lower than the Navy Cross.

  • Keep Enough reference material to fill an article with, so against merging. Having a military ship named after you is a significant award or honor and thus passes WP:ANYBIO. Dream Focus 16:47, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first reference in the article shows ample information about him, and his heroic action that earned him a silver star and got a ship named after him. The fact that it then mentions information about that ship afterwards is not relevant. He is notable for his actions, and winning a significant award and honor for it.

  • Merge to USS Harry F. Bauer, insufficient SIGCOV of the individual to meet GNG. Cavalryman (talk) 09:59, 31 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
  • I'm inclined go with selective merge with USS Gregory (DD-82) given that the narrative goes with that ship rather than the destroyer which honored him, but merger to either ship is preferable. It's the same story as with the run of "sailors after whom destroyers were named" articles; I'm also seeing the same problem here as with the Ault article, that almost all the biography is unsourced. It seems to me that the principle ought to be that these sailors and marines are documented in the article either on the ship named after them, or on that of the ship/battle where their notable action occurred. I prefer the latter but in particular I just don't see what we are gaining by, in most of these instances, repeating the same story of their heroism in three different articles. Mangoe (talk) 15:07, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am working on adding sources. At AFD, I assume that those who vote will do their own search and see whether sources exist. This goes for the proposer. And you are supposed to be looking at sources, whether they are cited in Wikipedia or not. WP:Notability does not depend on article quality. As I said, dumping lots of AFDs all at once is just an attempt to get the article axed. I can't update all these articles that quickly. You could add sources, too. 7&6=thirteen () 15:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: This is trendings towards a merge result, but Mangoe brings something overlooked amidst all of these ship namesake AfDs. Bauer is both the namesake of a ship (USS Harry F. Bauer), but was also the commander of another ship (USS Gregory) when he carried out the actions that led to a ship being named after him. This is different from the other AfDs, where the subjects were just serving as aviators/crew. Whether this merits a merge/redirect to the Gregory article instead of the Bauer article is worth discussing further. Also, this is the only AfD in this batch that I've closed in which 7&6=thirteen has explicitly said that they were adding sources to, and given the difference in command level I mentioned earlier, is another reason to relist.

  • Keep Article has been expanded and new sources added. Sources contain biographical information about Bauer who was both the captain of one ship and had another ship named for him. Even if you were to merge it is not all clear which ship would get the redirect, and there is enough material to merge that it becomes a WEIGHT issue. A separate article solves all these problems and there is sufficient sourcing for GNG. -- GreenC 17:45, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The sourcing is still the same in that none of them are actually focused on Bauer himself. Three are in relation to the ship named after him, one is about the Gregory, and one is focused on a completely different person who served on the Gregory. Both the Gregory sources are quick mentions, so I think that the weight of what coverage there is leans more towards USS Harry F. Bauer. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:54, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing in GNG says a source must be "focused", that is an invented high bar. Sources contain biographical information which is sufficient to wrote an article with. Sources contain significant coverage, as others here have stated. You are welcome to disagree, it is an opinion, but what is your point, of course you disagree you didn't !vote to Keep. -- GreenC 21:50, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well it does say coverage needs to be "Direct and in detail", which really only leaves his Silver Star citation and the opening paragraph of the USS Bauer's DANFS entry. Best, GPL93 (talk) 22:06, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep combined the mentions, the Silver Star and the airstrip and warship all together squeak this past BASIC, "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability".  // Timothy :: talk  05:26, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As a matter of housekeeping, I would note that this is there is a previous nomination for deletion that just went down the tubes. This is the second nomination. This fact is being knowingly suppressed – on this and many articles. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edward Henry Allen. The record should be corrected accordingly. There is a systemic attempt to hide that fact over many articles.
This is a procedural hijack and an attempt to make sure that editors who do their job properly won't have time to respond. This is 'putting old wine in new bottles' — doing by indirection that which you cannot do by direction.
This is relevant, and it should be fixed. It is a fact. It is always put into the history. I've never seen this, and it is a direct result of the misbegotten attempt to purge a couple of hundred articles. And all at once, overwheling the limited number of editors who actively try to save articles, while at the same time trolling those editors to make their job difficult and discourage them with distractions. Apparently it takes no time to resurrect hundreds of Navy Cross/Silver Star/Ship name honorees for deletion. It takes a lot of time to respond and improve all of these articles. This is in fact a second nomination (among many). And given the fact that there is no good faith compliance with WP:Before and a blatant disregard of sources that exist but aren't cited — which do factor in to notability, this sneak attack is (dare I say it) ... a date that will live in infamy. You are distorting the process and rigging the outcomes.
A warship and an airstrip were named for him.
As at stands, this is a well developed article. And the existing sources have been ignored by the nominator and the DELETE voters. WP:Preserve.
Subject meets or exceeds WP:GNG. No compliance with WP:Before. The protocol is that one should not only look at the present cited sources, but available sources, too. 7&6=thirteen () 13:30, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Currently passes both WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. Squeaks pass WP:GNG.--Kieran207 talk 18:28, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment I'm seeing a lot of issues with this discussion, starting with wondering why people are suggesting merging this with the Bauer article when it has nothing whatsoever to do with Ault. If nothing else that makes nearly all the "merge" recommendations non-contributory to a consensus. Second, inclusion in a group nomination that was procedurally closed as unmanageable really doesn't bear on this nomination; it would have been nice to have mentioned that, but as far as the discussion is concerned, trying to make an issue of it is an attempt to undo the "without prejudice for renomination" close of the previous nomination.
All that said, while there is a bio here, everything that isn't the incident inspiring the medal award is unsourced, and frankly, it's pretty mundane. There were nearly 400 destroyers built in the Fletcher/Sumner/Gearing classes, so having a ship named after him in those classes isn't that exclusive an honor. So we're back to the Navy Cross. Is it enough to make this fellow's story, by itself, worthy of an article? WP:SOLDIER says no; the Navy Cross is not at the highest level, and having a ship/facility named after him is not one of the criteria, so he would have to pass WP:GNG directly, which seems unlikely. At this point I'm not going to offer a definite opinion, but so far I'm not seeing anything that wouldn't support redirecting to the USS Ault article and ensuring that the latter described, in brief, the action which led to the Navy Cross award. Mangoe (talk) 20:01, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. (What the heck does he have to do with the Harry F. Bauer?) Unlike claims in other recent Afd nominations, he did play a significant part in a major battle, and is mentioned both in the Battle of the Coral Sea and by various sources. He also has a Naval Historical Foundation article. That, and not the ship named after him or the Navy Cross, is what puts him barely over the top as far as notability is concerned IMO. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:55, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article comes from one of a couple of blog-like features, all posted by a single person. It's a fairly random walk through various historical vignettes, ranging from well-known persons and major battles to "Sailor of the Day" sort of material. I'm just not seeing how "whatever catches the poster's fancy" adds up to notability.Mangoe (talk) 14:38, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

+redirect to USS Ault. Having a US destroyer named after you is not a major distinction, and the Navy Cross, while a major award, is not at the level where anyone is going to write 6,000+ articles to cover all recipients. What it says in the ship article is sufficient. Mangoe (talk) 04:16, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Oaktree b (talk) 21:26, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I looked through Gale Literature, Newspapers.com, Newspaper Archive, Archive.org, JSTOR, and saw no mention of her. The two sources on Google News that seem to talk about her, which are already included in the article, are: an interview[30] and a small blurb about a reading she did, which offhandedly mentioned she was a Awadh Samman awardee.[31]
    Most of the article's sources are self-published/primary sources or interviews. But the ones that actually focus on her seem to be focused on her debut novel (one source shows her debut book The (In)eligible Bachelors was on a bestsellers list under the category of fiction[32]). It seems like she received some attention when she debuted (which is also what she received the Awadh Samman award for) but nothing much since.
    Unless that one award is considered notable enough to pass WP:ANYBIO, it looks like she doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR. Unless there are other sources, I'd say delete. - Whisperjanes (talk) 00:37, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep Added a few more refs. In 1826 there was only 7 first class matches played so not much chance of actually playing many games. Nottingham CC have him down as one of their History makers.

  • Redirect to List of Nottingham Cricket Club players. Notts have an excellent set of sources on players at this link, which includes a number of Nottingham players. It's really helpful in determining the relative importance of players and their histories. Jarvis' brother, George, was clearly much more notable (and his article needs more work). Charles, however, we know very little about - compare the two Notts summaries of Charles and George. I think it's reasonable to suggest that George is historically important in terms of the development of Nottinghamshire cricket (although I'm not sure it's entirely clear compared to other players from the same era fwiw); I'm utterly unconvinced that Charles is. The table at the list article pretty succinctly summarises Charles; I'm unsure what else we can really add to that if I'm honest. Blue Square Thing (talk) 13:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First, the number who died in the 1916 uprising was not great, so they are very commonly listed by name and regarded as being of national significance even if they were otherwise quite ordinary men; second, the fact that he is buried in Ireland’s equivalent of Arlington National Cemetery; and thirdly, that he is important enough to have had a memorial built to him in Lurgan which is very controversial and itself been the subject of news coverage in Northern Ireland.

    • I went and checked WP:Notability (academics)#Specific criteria notes to confirm my recollection that, as a Dean, his notability was established by, well being a Dean. Good thing I did, as it actually says "generally not sufficient to qualify under Criterion 6 alone, although exceptions are possible on a case-by-case basis". However, Bartch wasn't just a Dean, he was the young University's first Dean of its School of Professional Studies.

      When Bartsch started, the University was a small religious college, and cash poor. The School of Professional Studies used distance education, correspondence, and its students were not religious students. If I am reading the documents correctly, many of his students were teachers, working teachers, experienced older teachers, upgrading their credential at a time when older teachers had been able to get a teacher's certificate without finishing a Bachelor's Degree, who wanted to keep up in pay and promotion with younger and more qualified teachers, who had to earn a Bachelor's degree before they applied for Teacher's College.

      If I read the source documents properly, this small religious college's expansion to a student body of 10,000 wouldn't have been possible if it hadn't been for the revenue from the distance education to secular students that Bartsch introduced.

      So, I suggest that boosts his Deanship to the level where he measures up to ACADEMIC. That is why I left a keep.

      FWIW he did serve a partial term as Acting President of the University. Geo Swan (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:SIGCOV, WP:GNG, WP:PROF, WP:BEFORE, and WP:HEY. Based on what's in the article now, the subject clearly passes the relevant notability guidelines. I'm concerned that a reasonable online search was not done prior to the nomination.

  • Keep - When an American military personnel of any race becomes the first of his race to accomplish a feat an article is written and no-one complains. However, now it seems that there is an agenda to delete articles of heroic Hispanic military personnel. Gonzalez was the first Puerto Rican pilot in the United States Army Air Forces and the first Puerto Rican pilot to die in World War II. His name is listed on the "Roll of Honor" of the 314th Troop Carrier Group World War II and both, his hometown Adjuntas and the Capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan, have honored his memory by naming a street after him. Are these accolades given to some-one who is not notable? Tony the Marine (talk) 16:23, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, actually, they are. Notability as defined by Wikipedia is not "a noteworthy person", it is extensive coverage in reliable, third-party sources. There is no agenda to delete articles of heroic Hispanic military personnel, and I would ask you to please dial back your assumptions of bad faith - the fact is there are quite a few articles on non-notable military personel that were created based on misconstrued presumptions of notability like yours, and therefore, when they are cleaned up, it can look like "targeting" until you consider the actual facts. That said, being the first Puerto Rican pilot in the USAAF should be a presumption of notability, but...
  • Weak keep - ...we have to verify it. I can find three hits in gBooks that mention this fact; two of them are SPSes/vanity publishers that have wording that makes it pretty clear they sourced from us. The third is an ABC-Clio published book and should be reliable [33], but my antennae are twitching as to its sourcing (i.e. they may have pulled from us...) and it is only a passing mention to boot. I'd really like to see this sort of fact cited multiple places, especially in "pre-Wikipedia" sources; the fact there don't seem to be any mentioning this makes me twitch even more. (I'll also note the fact isn't even actually cited in the article or even mentioned outside the lede.) If somebody can find a source that is both reliably published, pre-dates Wikipedia, and clearly states this fact, I'll happily change to a "full keep", but as it is right now there's merely the presumption of notability that can only be verified in the weakest of ways. I'm willing to AGF with my !vote here that sources, offline likely, exist, and thus not being a BLP that's enough, but... - The Bushranger One ping only 19:08, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete let us stop pretending terms like "race" have any meaning. They are fluid over time, and so the first person of x race in y nation to achieve z military designation is not a good standard for notability. China has 55 races that they recognize as being widely present there, Myanmar recognizes 85 races in their country. We follow sustained 3rd-party coverage, we do not make up inclusion criteria on our own.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:39, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Clarification please, your assertion that references didn't exist? As per your usual practice, you made this assertion without actually doing your own web search to confirm your assertion other references didn't exist was accurate? I found one. Maybe if you looked you'd find some too? Geo Swan (talk) 02:41, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with Tony, being a first is significant. Geo Swan (talk) 02:15, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG, first X nationality to do/receive/die during Y is not notable. We don't have pages for the first person of every nationality, US state or territory to do something, so no reason why an exception should be made for Puerto Rico. Mztourist (talk) 03:07, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; WP:SOLDIER is an essay and WP:GNG does not seem to apply here. While some of the uncited stuff probably needs to get backed up with something or get out of the article; AfD is not the same thing as cleanup. jp×g 17:39, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:GNG does not seem to apply here On what basis is this rather bold assertion made? - The Bushranger One ping only 21:54, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, I probably should have said something like: per Bushranger's post above, which examines GNG and presumes notability, erstwhile no other post seems to even consider GNG (instead focusing on WP:SOLDIER or other stuff I don't quite understand). jp×g 23:39, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the policy that states "first is significant"? Mztourist (talk) 03:49, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is filled with countless entries that state "first X military casualty" with this fact essentially being just about this person's only claim to fame. That is sort of what wikipedia is all about! A person is going to have delete a large chunk of wikipedia to delete all such similar entries. Durindaljb (talk) 11:08, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The nom is off-base. It is fine for it to not meet soldier, if it meets gng. Nom seems not to understand this. Nor the editor whose vote is similarly based on only that criterion. 2603:7000:2143:8500:FCFA:1BCC:C5C7:7ED0 (talk) 03:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You have been on WP for one day and yet you feel qualified to come to AFD and criticize other Users' deletes? Mztourist (talk) 04:07, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
1. Yes. 2. Is there a rule against it? 3. In general, an individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources. 4. WP:SOLDIER is an essay on notability. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how notability may be interpreted within their area of interest. This information is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. 5. Regardless of that non-policy, non-guideline essay, 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. 6. GNG, in contrast, is an English Wikipedia notability guideline. It is a generally accepted standard. 7. What is important is the extent to which a comment is based on our guidelines, not how long they have been here or even how many similar comments there are. 8. Your attitude is one that some might consider slightly less than welcoming to editors. Which is not quite what the project strives for. 9. Any further questions? 2603:7000:2143:8500:FCFA:1BCC:C5C7:7ED0 (talk) 04:17, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the obvious assumption is that you are a Sock of a banned User. New Users don't come to AFD and start arguing policy and guidelines. Mztourist (talk) 06:42, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No. (I'm not, btw). The obvious assumption is that you flout the rule that requires you to AGF. And that you are ignorant of dynamic IP addresses, and how at no instance of the user they are assigned. And, at the risk of saying it, you appear to be the sort of editor who instead of saying "welcome" says .. something hostile. Not perhaps the best look one could aspire to. Anyway - the substance of what I said above stands. You should know the difference between an essay and a guideline. And that GNG is always good enough.--2603:7000:2143:8500:FCFA:1BCC:C5C7:7ED0 (talk) 08:45, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
How are we to know? Why don't you create an account? I do know the difference between an Essay and a Guideline, as you would have seen by looking above I referred to both SOLDIER and GNG. Mztourist (talk) 10:48, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A military historian made him "a prominent figure" in his notable book. He had ample coverage on an episode of a show on the History channel reenacting the historically significant battle he was part of. Dream Focus 05:36, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Here is a nice multi-paragraph Newsweek article that goes to GNG that is not yet reflected in the wp article. And there is no indication the above delete voters considered it when voting."Fallujah "Point Man" Earns Silver Star" It, in turn, points to tv station KCRA coverage and Marine Corps Times coverage of the fellow.2603:7000:2143:8500:FCFA:1BCC:C5C7:7ED0 (talk) 08:54, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clear Keep. 1. This need only meet GNG, and as discussed above those votes that were based only on whether it met the essay soldier failed to conduct the right test, and therefore don't count. User:JPxG was right.

2. The a) Newsweek article I link to above devoted to him, and

b) the tv station KCRA coverage linked to in that article (and even excluding c) the Marine Corps Times coverage of the fellow which we know exists because it is quoted from but I cannot see), and

d) this LA Times article,[34] and

e) this San Francisco Chronicle article,[35] and

f) this Gold Country Media article,[36] and

g) this National Review article that has a few paragraphs on him,[37]

taken together amply satisfy GNG hands down. And make me puzzle as to how they were missed by nom. It also raises the question as to whether they were therefore not considered by the above delete voters, who had reason to believe a before search was done by nom. This is not a close call. 2603:7000:2143:8500:FCFA:1BCC:C5C7:7ED0 (talk) 09:30, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wow, that story has to be some of the laziest "journalism" I have ever read. I used to regard Newsweek as a reliable source, but that story comprised of 4 lengthy quotes (2 from a Marine Corps Times story that can't be found and two from a blog) and a tv story definitely makes me question the reliability of their online reporting.

  • Weak delete while ignoring WP:SOLDIER, WP:GNG is apparently not met. Military times is just a copy of his medal citation, not independent coverage, the two DOD sources are not in-depth coverage, which leaves us with two San Diego area publications covering him (one major, one local). I'd expect more to establish notability here. Eddie891 Talk Work 14:53, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Any SIGCOV is in local or regional media which one would expect would be different should they actually be notable. The one "major" source is borderline SIGCOV. That still leaves us needing multiple intellectually different sources. I ignore SNG's when it comes to AfD's simply because most SNG's, and really all should, presume notability. Under WP:N you may presume notability if there is reasoned confidence that SIGCOV will be written in the future to allow the subject to pass GNG criteria (notes included at the bottom for clarity). I don't see that being the case here so it fails notability criteria at this time. --ARoseWolf 17:18, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lettler says that like it would be a bad thing. Wikipedia already has millions of articles and every time we add another million, this is a cause for celebration. It is our explicit policy that there is no practical limit to the number of articles and so it's not a problem. But attempting to destroy and diminish Wikipedia is disruption. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:52, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Um... Isn't that the point of GNG? Make sure pages arent created for every single thing, but maintain a low bar to include quite a bit of things if people are willing to take the time to write about it? I have always interpreted "multiple" to simply require two or more sources meeting the other requirements. Once that is met, content inclusion is determined by verifiability, which doesn't have the same sigcov requirement. -2pou (talk) 17:03, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The start of the article reads: Kristoffer Bryan Domeij (October 5, 1982 – October 22, 2011) was a United States Army soldier who holds the record for the U.S. soldier with the most deployments to be killed in action. He served four deployments in Iraq and at least nine in Afghanistan. Sounds like a notable enough accomplish to get an article on Wikipedia. Dream Focus 23:10, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you rework it to state he holds the record within the Ranger Regiment for the most deployments before being KIA (which is how the sources frame it) it might be more believable. From my reading of what's been posted so far it's a very specific record that doesn't take the rest of JSOC or SOCOM into consideration. And even with that said, I'm not convinced it's notable.

  • Delete World records (or rather "American records") are not automatically notable. So far none of the "keep" voters has even addressed the question of why that particular record is notable. ApLundell (talk) 02:51, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia:Notability (people) reads at the top On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article. For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. So yeah, this counts. Dream Focus 03:52, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have not overlooked any of the things the folk from ARS have accused me of. (They tend to make the same complaint about everyone who ever disagrees with them, so I won't take it personally.)
Being a record holder is not automatically notable. Virtually everybody is the superlative something. It is still required to show that their life or achievements are notable, not simply unique.
That hasn't been done for this article, and I don't believe it can. ApLundell (talk) 17:47, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
AP, I am not a member of ARS and I am not here to attack you for disagreeing with me. You deserve your opinion and I am not here to convince you or anyone else that I am right and you are wrong. They will look at what we say and make their own assessment. That being said, I would like to point out that, in case you are unaware, Wikipedia does not concern itself with the notability of the action but the notability of the subject, unless the article is about the action. What I mean is that we are to look, not at the substance of the reliable sources but whether the subject receives adequate coverage in those sources. Wikipedia does not care how notable or distinguished the information is. His service record and length doesn't matter and doesn't have to be proved. Are the sources reliable and do they give him intellectually independent significant coverage? It could be about things you might feel are insignificant but if they give it adequate coverage and ties it to him then it can be included in the litmus test of notability. Wikipedia is indifferent to half the arguments made here from both sides except the facts based on policy, even begrudgedly, flawed policy. --ARoseWolf 18:06, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I reviewed all of the evidence presented both within the article and also conducting my own BEFORE search. This person does, indeed, fail WP:SOLDIER. In my mind this essay holds as much credence as all the SNG's that give subjects unfair advantages over other subjects like WP:NPROF. I digress, in looking at the sources a few things jump out. #1 - One argument here is that he is notable solely due to the length and number of combat tours. That may be the case on military bases and in the minds and hearts of those who knew him and value his service. Wikipedia, to be frank, is indifferent to feelings and emotions, only facts matter based on policy. I did not take into account his service record length or number of tours. #2 - I counted every reliable source that repeated the same information almost verbatim as one source as per criteria for multiple intellectually different sources. This still leaves the subject with coverage in reliable sources that may be similar but do contain intellectually different material as well, on top of the reliable sources that are wholly intellectually different. #3 - The subject received significant coverage in the reliable sources that did include him. Therefore, setting point 1 aside and taking points 2 and 3 into consideration, my assessment is that the subject passes criteria found in WP:N for inclusion. --ARoseWolf 17:46, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's a bit of a misrepresentation of the Milhist guideline which starts "an individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources." and ends "a person who does not meet the criteria mentioned above is not necessarily non-notable; ultimately, this determination must be made based on the availability of significant coverage in independent, secondary sources". GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:59, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
GraemeLeggett You are entitled to your opinion for sure. I am not here to change your view only show how and why I voted the way I did. As I stated, I didn't look at the Milhist guideline because many guidelines are based on presumption of notability which can be rebutted as is proper and we see here is why we have AfD's in the first place. I look solely at basic notability as described in the entirety of WP:N (including notes at the bottom) minus all the SNG's because most are highly unreliable and vague. I also conduct a BEFORE search for sources that may not be located in the article itself. There is significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are intellectually independent. The content of that coverage does not matter so long as it is significant and in a reliable source with exception of the sources in which the content is mostly identical or repeating the same information. According to note 4 at the bottom of WP:N, these sources are not intellectually different and therefore should be counted as one source. That is what I did in my search and still found enough to keep the article. If nothing else I am consistent in my approach across all AfD's and when I have made a mistake I will admit it. --ARoseWolf 15:07, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And WP:GNG includes sources that exist, even if they aren't referenced in the article. See the shortcut on the right hand side of this comment. And if you had done WP:Before before proposing the AFD

*What he did or did not do is of no consequence to the policy on notability. The only criteria is significant coverage in reliable sources plus all the other words we can use to describe it. That's it. If the garbage man down the road gets that for simply being a garbage man then he deserves an article. I know, its an absurd example but sometimes when we provide that we show the simplistic depth of discrimination the policy allows for.

  • Delete While the subject does have one book and it is reviewed I'm not sure I would consider them any more notable for that one book than any other author who writes one book. The play is an interesting spin on the subjects impact but the question remains to be determined whether a person's work, alone, can make them notable even if all that is referenced is the work while there is little to no in-depth coverage of the works creator. Is the work notable or the creator? While the subjects father or relatives may be notable that notability is not inherited. The subject must be notable and while the work they create or the heroics they may perform can be a catalyst in which notability is incubated and emerges, the works and events can not, themselves, be the sole source of notability that receives significant coverage independent of its creator/performer. I find, after conducting my own BEFORE search, in this case that the subject does not meet the criteria for inclusion. There are flashes but flashes are no better than mentions in that regard.

Issues with the article itself aren't enough to warrant deletion, but I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to draftifying this article (as Celestina007 seems to be arguing for in their delete !vote above) - although I still think it should be kept (and then possibly trimmed down quite a bit).

This afternoon I read every one of the newspaper and web accounts cited, and a good deal else, (except for her book). It is the case, as in almost all survivor stories, that almost the entire account of the horrendous events is due to the person's own statements (and, as is inevitable, the news and similar sources essentially copy each other for this period.) (I also read two lengthy handbooks on how to evaluate such accounts--the conclusion is basically that for humanitarian purposes the only ethical thing is to take them as they are given unless they can be shown impossible--and this is to some degree the direction of current law in the EC, though not the US). My previous experience is with survivor stories from a different continent and generation, and my interest in them is their evaluation for historical purposes, which is another question entirely (as is the way such accounts should be handled in an encyclopedia). What concerns me more about this article is that for the events in the UK the sources also essentially copy each other--this is usually the result of effective PR.
It might be possible to write about this in a way which is objective but not unsympathetic, but this is beyond my abilities. I am not sure anyone here can really do it. DGG ( talk ) 06:16, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DGG: All sources copy each other to some extent, but all the sources that mention her don't just contain the same information. Some have unique info that can only be found in one or two or a few sources. I also think it would be very hard to write the article from an objective but not unsympathetic POV as the bias in the sources Wikipedia uses often reflects onto WP. And yes, good PR can result in a Wiki article as long as the PR gets picked by and verified by multiple different independent media outlets. X-Editor (talk) 14:25, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, even high-quality PR copied into WP cannot make an acceptable NPOV article. At least, in the 14 years I've been working with articles on people and organizations, I have never seen it, though well-done responsible PR can in some cases serve as a source for straightforward undisputed factual materials that can with caution be used in a encyclopedia article. PR by its very nature is neither independent or NPOV. The very few honest declared paid editors in WP tell me that it is very difficult to support a business writing NPOV articles for Wikipedia , because their clients do not generally accept NPOV work. And it's also the case that a proper NPOV Wikipedia article about a worthy cause or useful product can incidentally serve to some degree for PR as well as information.
All of us can very easily deal with commercial PR; but when its PR for a sympathetic cause it becomes much more difficult. That's why I don't want to edit this article -- i don't want to seem unfriendly, or act as if I did not recognize the problem or applaud the heroism. And I find it very difficult even to write this. DGG ( talk ) 19:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DGG: PR is a huge part of actvism tho, so it's really difficult to separate the two. I am not a paid editor BTW. If there were articles criticizing her, I would've added them and their content too. At this point, I think it would be best to end our discussion here as we can't seem to come to any sort of agreement. X-Editor (talk) 02:39, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
yes, I do agree with you that "PRi s a huge part of activism." NOTADVERTISING applies to activism just as much as commercial enterprise. It isn't appropriate for us to bend the rules in favor of those causes we support--that's the opposite of NPOV. DGG ( talk ) 02:06, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DGG: As I said before, if there were reliable sources criticizing her, I would've added the content from those sources to the article, but I couldn't find any, which is why it may seem to you that the content is not neutral. I'll admit however, that the original article's POV was bad, which is why I trimmed the lede and removed lots of unreliable sources and their content from the article. I'm also surprised that no one has closed this deletion discussion yet. I guess it's because of our long conversation, so I think it would be best if we end our discussion here and let another user make the closing decision for this deletion. X-Editor (talk) 23:03, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just going to point out that the exchange of vies in the discussion is often more valuable than the decision on the particular article. DGG ( talk ) 06:26, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep As needs to be repeated far too often: *content is no justification for deletion and AfD is not cleanup*. An activist who has been in UK media for multiple years, high-profile, recognised, discussed in depth in peer-reviewed literature.[1][2] There seem to be some very high bars being put up to justify deletion here.

Walter has recently nominated several articles on various members of The Guess Who, and Garry Peterson is actually one of the more deserving candidates for his own article because he has been there since the classic years, was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and has won some high Canadian awards. However, those facts are already mentioned at the band's article and Peterson's achievements are entirely within the context of the band. His brief stint with Bachman–Turner Overdrive is already covered sufficiently at their article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:02, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On the literature side, he has authored three novels of which one was shortlisted for the annual literary award given by DC Books, the largest of the Malayalam language publishers. Further, the subject has published several articles in Economics. The mention in the deletion proposal about Google search does not seem to reflect the truth; my search returned sites such as The Indian Express, Mathrubhumi, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, University of Hyderabad article repository, RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) listings, GoodReads, Bodhi Commons, Gale Academic Onefile and Hindawi research, besides listings by many online book sellers.--jojo@nthony (talk) 03:35, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – I am mindful of the possible systemic bias here and would be willing to change my !vote if it is shown that WP:SIGCOV exists in Malayalam, but there is no actual claim to notability in the article, nor have I been able to find any independent coverage at all of the person or his books in reliable secondary sources per WP:GNG. The individual in question is an academic who very clearly does not meet WP:NPROF, and an author. I do not see how he would meet WP:NAUTHOR either; the "DC Books Literary Award" is not a notable award, and being nominated for that does not make an author notable. Barring any indications that WP:NAUTHOR #3 is met, it looks like it might just be too soon for an article about this person. Tachs mentions Google hits – could you give some examples of reliable sources (that is, links to the sources themselves) that you found? Anything written by the person himself is irrelevant here (including any academic papers found through GScholar), as is Goodreads, and anything from book sellers. --bonadea contributions talk 21:07, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I can't see why the receipt of an order in itself makes the recipient WP:NOTABLE, unless it was awarded for some action or circumstance which was notable. In this case, this particualr order seems to have been distributed mre or less wholesale in the 20th ceentury and he seems to have got it either for being rich or for having married into the Bourbon-Two Sicilies family - neither of which count as WP:NOTABLE in themselves.--Smerus (talk) 11:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Less Unless, Right, but we can't assume this is the case. Cynicism aside, most orders and such should be given for merit, that's how "it is supposed to be". And the order discussed here is described as ' the most distinguished civil award that can be granted in Spain' and the subject received 2nd class (out of 5). It seems pretty significant to me. The more I think about it the more I learn towards concluding that this order is sufficient for establishing notability (WP:ANYBIO #1: "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor" Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:43, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: ... I'm citing User:Bearian here, on nobility and notability: There are two ways nobility or royalty can become notable in the 21st century: (a) being involved in major scandals and/or (b) being the patrons of notable philanthropies. Having one's picture taken with some people of ill repute is not enough, nor is a one-time socialite dinner. Examples of major scandals would be an sexual affair or financial corruption that gets significant coverage. Examples of patronage of charities would have to show the person is a guest of honour, or has made a significant donation of art or the equivalent of millions of dollars of donations, preferably over a number of years.

  • Merge. This is an interesting and borderline case. I found a few online sources: a story about his relationship to Juan Carlos I, and more here. That relationship as cousins-in-law is described here. There's a story about what appears to be Poland-Argentina bilateral relations here. So he's basically an in-law of the current Spanish royal family, and a minor noble of the deposed Polish kingdom. I'm not sure that's enough for me. I do not see any evidence beyond the one diplomatic effort, of any independent notability. As we have done many times, I would prefer a merger and redirect in this instance to the spouse's page. I would also ask for the courtesy to be able to take the sources that we have found and add them to that merged article. Bearian (talk) 21:01, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this article per WP:NYA and failing all clauses of WP:NACTOR until actor has had significant roles in movie and television. This child actor although having feeble notability for co-starring in Wrinkle in time, he has no other significant major roles out of his so far diminutive 6 credit acting career. This article also relies on a primary tweet source which is strongly repudiated on wikipedia. I believe this actor could have article if he gains more roles in the future and receives better coverage.

  • Keep as a stub - I googled his name and NBC, Teen Vogue, Screen Rant, and Rappler have all covered him. The New York Times, Deadline, Rolling Stone, The Boston Herald, Variety, and ABC news all give him bare mentions. That's enough for him to pass WP:SIGCOV. He passes one clause of WP:NACTOR because he's taken roles in "A Wrinkle in Time" and Apple TV's "Home Before Dark". There isn't much potential to expand the article at this time which could be a problem, but he passes the notability requirements, and there are a plethora of reliable sources who've covered him, so I vote to keep VERSACESPACE 03:47, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@User:VersaceSpace, Can you provide the sources you mentioned so I can check them to see if he didn't just name check in those articles? because name-checking "bare articles" does not fit significant coverage criteria, That literally goes against it as it doesn't cover the subject. And I suggest we should delete this and send it to the article draft for improvements than keep it as a stub using primary sources and a non-detail description. And the first film is good, but Home before dark is just 10 episodes and he's a secondary character. My overall opinion is that this article's creation was too soon because with child actors, they can disappear from acting very quickly and we would want to make sure not to make article like this too soon, especially if it is a stub with a lack of reliable and significant sources. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 04:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep Subjects references do show notability and do not just show passing mentions. Does need major cleanup, but I believe the actor does just, just pass WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG, as I can personally find significant coverage and he has had two main roles in two major productions (Home Before Dark, A Wrinkle in Time). If I am correct, that is passing the point in WP:NACTOR that the individuals proposing deletion believe he doesn't. Coreykai (talk) 13:48, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and send to draft Actor currently does not pass WP:NACTOR with only 6 credited roles with one of them as a co-starring role and the rest as small minor roles which does't warranted current article creation. Actor also fails the other two clauses of WP:NACTOR with no award nominations or significant contributions to the field of acting mostly because he's a child actor. Actor aslo fails the reliable source clause of WP:GNG as the article relies too heavily on a questionable primary source. Most coverage I can find on him is name check mentions from his roles as Charles wallace murry in A Wrinkle in time, content farm garbage articles and Questionable sources which is not generally accepted as a reliable or significant source if the content can not be verified, So delete. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 15:05, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
