- IT'S NAMED AFTER A LANDOWNER. THAT ALONE MAKES IT A FAMOUS PLACE! --2A01:36D:1200:6B6:61BC:45D9:2CEA:8AD5 (talk) 13:17, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- No, being named after a landowner does not make an unincorporated community automatically famous. Besides, the only claim (since removed) that this place was named after landowner "Heinrich Iz Rahel" came from an IP user citing an irrelevant source [1] that doesn't mention any such person. For all I know, the place could have been named after a Biblical land, a Biblical character, a modern-day country, or a Bee Gees song. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:32, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Article makes no claims of notability, and a quick search shows you likely won't find one. —FORMALDUDE (talk) 04:47, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. First appears on topos in 1907 as "Israel Church", and appears on and off over the years as either "Israel Church", "Israel", and "Israel Ch" (which I assume means "church"). This isn't named after a landowner; this is named after Mount Israel United Methodist Church, located right in the middle. Searches for the church show an article about its 100th anniversary, and databases list its address in either Tunnelton or just Preston County. Google Maps shows a few houses located in the area, but all addresses are for Tunnelton. While the area looks populated, it's safe to say this place doesn't exist.

- Keep. "There is no need for such article when we already have an article covering whole India." Most illogical. We have timeline articles, including cities and towns. Merging this to 2021 in India is a WP:BADIDEA. 2021 in India is a list of the most significant 2021 events in the entire, 1-billion-populated country, not a list of every event significant only to specific towns or cities. Having an article about the whole country also list events important only to towns or cities would make it WP:TOOBIG. It's why we WP:Split huge topics into several articles in the first place. 👨x🐱 (talk) 21:00, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. While some took issue with this being a minor event, others pointed out significant coverage and the fact of injuries making it a significant event. Overall I see no consensus for deletion. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 23:34, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Keepincident received international coverage on day of and local follow-up coverage in subsequent days, so meets WP:N, and nom statement that the incident is non-notable is false (it is true that engine failures are common, but that does not make them all non-notable). Injuries to people on the ground are notable, and were noted by multiple outlets. I have added additional detail with refs to the article. Dhaluza (talk) 17:51, 26 June 2021 (UTC)- Keep.

- Keep. The event received coverage from many sources, some from other languages including. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 14:42, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Delete.While the nominator did not have a proper rationale, I have one: a violation of WP:ONEVENT and WP:NOTNEWS. all of the coverage (which is 99% of the citations of this article) was published on the day of the event, and I've found no independent sources published after that. Gbooks and GScholar searches give you nothing. Only source after that date cited is a June 2021 primary source from OVV stating the investigation was going on, and that claim gained no coverage whatsoever. 👨x🐱 (talk) 21:25, 4 July 2021 (UTC)- Wikipedia:ONEVENT is for people, so not applicable. And the coverage continued over several days, so your statement that it was only day of is just completely incorrect (check the refs). Dhaluza (talk) 01:20, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- Both policies do not support deletion. WP:1E applies only to people known for one event. Events are per definition known for an event. Per WP:NOTNEWS:
Editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events
, i.e. NOTNEWS clearly encourages well-rounded and well-sourced event articles with encyclopedic value, such as Longtail Aviation Flight 5504. It's an argument for KEEP! gidonb (talk) 06:44, 5 July 2021 (UTC)- OK, "one day" probably wasn't the best wording to use. Technically, it was covered by the press for more than one day... but less than a week. It's true that WP:Notability is not temporary, but I doubt anything that gets interest for less than a week with no coverage, commentary in the context of wider issues, or updates since February 25 has a long-lasting-enough notability to absolve it from NOTNEWS. The dates of all the articles and OVV primary source citations in this article (minus the OVV announcement from June 2021 that doesn't add anything to the topic's notability) are from February 20 to February 25.
- Also, to the use of the NOTNEWS quote "Editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events" (1) the issue of "current and up-to-date information" is a separate issue of content inclusion, not topic notability, and (2) what is "significant" about a flight that only got news headlines and has been never analyzed by journals or academics as part of bigger issues? States NOTNEWS: "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion". The only coverage this topic got makes it only a news-worthy-for-the-moment event like any other; regarded of how encyclopedic the prose of the wiki article is, the notability is not good enough to be past only news event notability, which NOTNEWS prohibits articles of.
- Yes, NOTNEWS "encourages well-rounded and well-sourced event articles with encyclopedic value", which includes making sure the topic is of encyclopedic value. Newsworthy events that are nothing else but that are not of encyclopedia value, thus Longtail Aviation Flight 5504 fails NOTNEWS. NOTNEWS overrides SIGCOV and GNG here. Yes, all the sources with the news headlines were secondary sources about the event which meets SIGCOV, but they were only news pieces about that event nonetheless, all published within a week, failing NOTNEWS. 👨x🐱 (talk) 15:26, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- You're using assumptions that are not based on thorough research. NOTNEWS is a strong argument for keep. NOTNEWS says
most enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion
(there is no bold in the source). This does not replace thatEditors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events
, i.e. that articles such as Longtail Aviation Flight 5504 are ENCOURAGED by WP:NOTNEWS. Then what does the word "most" (twice) refer to? The bulk of the news is clearly insignificant from a historic perspective. Things people or organizations did or said (e.g. someone was spotted at an event, a book was just released, a company merged, someone made an interesting argument in a parliament, someone left a band, a new slogan was introduced, someone said something strange in a campaign message) are the bulk of the events in the news but rarely become noteworthy stand alone events from a historic point of view. Aviation incidents that receive global coverage, however, remain part of public discussions also outside the week that you are now willing to concede. For example in the following articles: Netherlands, June 8, Belgium, July 2, Australia, July 5. The bottom-line is that no one has yet given even one working argument to delete this article. gidonb (talk) 18:54, 5 July 2021 (UTC)- I have changed my !vote to a Weak keep following the three independent sources provided (although not found in my searches for some reason), but these should be cited in the article. "Global coverage" doesn't automatically indicate SIGCOV. All of the "global coverage" here I saw before you provided these examples were just news sources citing other news sources published around the same date for info, as is common with several flash-in-the-pan incidents. On another topic, you're still mis-interpreting NOTNEWS. "Editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information" only states to keep info of any article up to date with news sources; it's not about when to create articles. Additionally, that NOTNEWS quote specifically states to create stand-alone articles on "significant events". How significant this event is according to coverage is what we're debating here, and if the coverage doesn't indicate that, then a topic having its own article is NOT encouraged by NOTNEWS. I'll end this discussion here as examples have been providing indicating a least a little bit of secondary source interest in a topic this month, but I'd also like editors to know their policies and guidelines properly. 👨x🐱 (talk) 19:34, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- The global coverage were not cross citations as you assert. There was original reporting by several different teams of reports from different outlets doing original by-lined reporting. Again, check the author names in the refs. Dhaluza (talk) 01:32, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

- Almost nothing gets covered by the press for a week, so that would be a ridiculous standard unlikely to get consensus. The key is whether reporters stay on the story and write substantive follow-up articles. There are several examples of that here. And the OVV is both a primary and secondary source. The fact that they started an investigation is secondary source evidence of notability, i.e. they don't investigate everything. NotNews just says that things in the news don't necessarily belong in the encyclopedia, and in fact most things don't. But when a subject gets an unusual level of coverage not given to most things, that's an indication that it's not routine news. Dhaluza (talk) 01:25, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS, minimal incident that does not require a standalone article. Maybe include it in P&W PW4000 page?.--Paolo9999 (talk) 12:30, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- Move to more descriptive title from ref 2: Falling debris in Meerssen. I am modifying my keep vote to move because the formulaic title using the flight number does not properly summarize the subject, and framing the subject this way is a form of aviation chauvinism. None of the WP:RS use the flight number in their title--it is only included as a passing reference if at all. Other than the destination, there is no other publicly available info on the flight per se.
- The location is more descriptive and sufficiently specific to distinguish this from other Parts Departing Aircraft events, so we don't need an arbitrary number. And we have a criminal investigation that closed with no finding of fault, so there is no reason to include Longtail Aviation in the title. I'm going to agree with User:HumanxAnthro in part, because to the extent that corporations are people, Longtail Aviation should not be famous for this WP:ONEVENT.
- Because the formulaic title drives the lede, it places undue WP:WEIGHT on the commercial aviation angle of the story, which is not the most important. What happened on the ground got far more coverage than what happened in the air.Dhaluza (talk) 12:58, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Not famous but enough long article.Airline Plane Crash (talk) 00:19, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:SIGCOV. Subject lacks sustained significant coverage proving it has lasting notability. There are hundreds of similar plane crashes every year. This is not notable. Further, vehicular crashes involving cars, trucks, buses, etc causing similar or greater amounts of damage also aren’t covered for the same reason because they happen routinely. Arguments about lives lost and property damage indicating notability are spurious and not policy based. These kinds of events are only notable if we have quality sources showing sustained coverage beyond routine news coverage of crashes. 4meter4 (talk) 12:26, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
These kinds of events are only notable if we have quality sources showing sustained coverage beyond routine news coverage of crashes.
This precisely what we have, making it an argument to keep. See sources that I have added above. gidonb (talk) 13:29, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Move I really like the proposal submitted by Dhaluza, and I can't improve on it. If I may pontificate a bit, and this has nothing to do with Wikipedia policies... I'll come at this issue from a different angle. I can appreciate the effort spent building the article to its current state, but in my opinion it really shouldn't have lasted beyond the initial stub. We need to set a precedent so that these kinds of articles don't keep getting built in the first place. We have lots of articles needing to be created or expanded, yet time is being spent on these no-big-deal events because there's a plethora of easily accessible resources for current-day events. Surely some of us agree with me that time would be better spent digging deep with google books/magazine/newspaper searches to expand or create articles for old crashes where dozens died. Sure, it's more difficult, but it's kind of rewarding to find nuggets of information gathering dust in musty corners of the web, and build something out of them from scratch. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now, and hope I didn't anger the people who worked on the article. I can't remember where the list of crashes that need articles is located. Once I find it I'll go tackle some of them, so I don't look like a hypocrite. – Itsfullofstars (talk) 22:50, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. This is a subjective list. What makes a dome "celebrated"? Even the article doesn't say anything about why these particular domes are listed. There probably are ways to make lists of domes that are particularly significant besides List of largest domes that would meet our list criteria, but this is not one of those ways. Egsan Bacon (talk) 04:30, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. It seems it was originally pulled from this version[2] of domes back in 2008, but no source was included in the original either. Within Domes, it was originally added as "Famous Domes" by user:Wetman in 2004[3], but no source existed then either, and the edit did not include a reason.

- Keep Category:Domes exist. I agree with a name change. Every dome notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article should be listed.

- Comment - the term "celebrated", if backed up by reliable sourcing for each and every entry, would be valid. But it isn't. Notable is not much better.

- Delete I believe WP:LISTCRITERIA is most relevant. It states "Selection criteria (also known as inclusion criteria or membership criteria) should be unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources.". As it stand this is very ambiguous, subjective, and not supported by reliable sources. As for the idea of changing the criteria to "notable" then we are simply duplicating a category. I think that the topic itself does not meet our criteria and as such changes to the article are unlikely to resolve this. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 01:20, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- Yes and it goes on to say "In cases where the membership criteria are subjective or likely to be disputed (for example, lists of unusual things or terrorist incidents), it is especially important that inclusion be based on reliable sources given with inline citations for each item." Which is the case here. The real problem is the florid title "celebrated"; and lack of sources to establish notability - but they are all blue link with sources; and the article can be renamed. -- GreenC 15:26, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Giano (talk) 20:52, 20 June 2021 (UTC)- Keep but change "celebrated" to "notable, as User:Carptrash has suggested. These are certainly notable domes and the list aides in navigation.

- Keep List criteria can be subjective per WP:LISTCRITERIA. Editorial choices what to include or exclude from Wikipedia is subjective. We are making subjective decisions all the time.

- Delete To avoid the argument that there are still many subjective decisions, here a slightly different formulation: First define what should be "celebrated" or "notable" at all before you create such a list -Killarnee (C•T•U) 16:06, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

- Weak Delete the main issue is this list is just too subjective and hard to quantify. It might be better served to re-make a page similar to this with a different less subjective focus. While having a list of domes could be useful and amusing, this is not it Tautomers (talk) 21:00, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
- Any dome that has its own Wikipedia article is what's on the list, nothing more. Dream Focus 13:23, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Delete I agree that this is to subjective and hard to quantify as a topic. Especially when it comes to if a dome or the building it's attached to is what's notable. For instance, Saint Basil's Cathedral is in the list, but the cathedral itself is what's notable about it. Not the dome. The same goes for St Paul's Cathedral Etc. Etc. Which I'm not really sure how to reconcile. Sure, I guess something like List of notable buildings with domes could be created instead so the inclusion criteria is not as arbitrary. but I don't think that would work as a list either. Since like Dome says "The precise definition of a dome has been a matter of controversy and there are a wide variety of forms and specialized terms to describe them." You can't really have a list of something if there's no clear definition of what that something is. List of buildings with hollow upper halves of a sphere maybe? Muh. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Change to List of notable domes. This is a helpful and interesting list. The list could be expanded or slimmed depending on the definition used. There are clearly notable domes. Yes, dome is a defined term that can be expansive. This can be explained in a few sentences at the top of the list. Thriley (talk) 14:36, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- If keeping the article hinges on there being a clear definition of the word "dome" (which it seems to) then the definition should be came up with before the AfD is closed. Otherwise, it's pretty likely no one is going to do it later and the article will still go against the guidelines for lists. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:10, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

- Delete As has been stated, there is no definition on what makes a dome celebrated or notable, and I think any such definition is bound to be subjective. This makes it impossible for the article to be unambiguous, objective, or reliably sourced per WP:LISTCRITERIA. —FORMALDUDE (talk) 00:05, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

- No it lists notable buildings that also happen to have domes. Most of them aren't notable at all for having domes though. Really, youu could just as easily make similar arguements for something like List of notable public restrooms or something along those lines. "Well, the buildings containing the restrooms are notable..And that's what the article contains..Buildings with restrooms ..So..Shrug?" At least in that case we could define what a restroom is though. Adamant1 (talk) 07:55, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

This article is about a person who took a flight to Canada and claimed refugee status in 2010. He was one of 28,630 people to make this claim in Canada that year. The only thing unusual about the story was that he wore a silicon mask on the flight for reasons that remain unexplained. Due to the confidentiality of refugee claims in Canada there is no information on who he is, where he is from, why he was making a claim or any other details. The article fails WP:NOTNEWS and also WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Ahunt (talk) 22:33, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

- Keep I was a delete two years ago at the other AfD - the final I is now lowercase, so it doesn't appear as the second nomination - but find myself agreeing with the keep arguments there after a second review (mostly Levivich's weak keep demonstrating sustained coverage, which occurred after I took the one to DRV on NOTNEWS grounds trying to get it deleted. I don't remember that at all.) I agree this isn't what I'd call "100% notable," but it's probably over the line. SportingFlyer T·C 22:46, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

- Weak Keep While this story has gotten new coverage after 9 years since it's initial reporting, it's more of a burst of news and doesn't really count as WP:LASTING. The story is unusual and kind of head turning, and I would not agree that this is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL nor do I agree with WP:NOTNEWS. The news reporting shows there was more to this story and had ongoing pieces to it. Nevertheless, the story is only a little bit WP:BROAD and a little bit WP:DIVERSE and it appears the story has now come to a resolution, and the initial event isn't very big and probably worth deleting. However, I was initially going to say weak delete but I feel a weak keep due to arrests occurring indicating this news story had broader implications beyond the incident itself indicates it has significance, passes WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT.

- Keep per the citations provided in Levivich's weak keep in the first AfD. This establishes all five major elements of WP:GNG.
I'm not really sure why people are citing WP:NOTNEWS as a reason for deletion; the article is clearly not 1. original reporting, 2. written in an unencyclopedic tone, 3. overly emphasizing any of the individual personalities involved in the incident, or 4. celebrity gossip or a diary, which are the four elements listed under NOTNEWS.WP:NOTNEWS is not a valid reason to delete because of the four elements of that policy that could apply here are #2, and the enduring notability of the incident are demonstrated by the repeated, long-term reporting in cited by Levivich in multiple reliable sources. RecycledPixels (talk) 16:46, 28 June 2021 (UTC) - Speedy Keep This AfD is an obvious misapplication of WP:NOTNEWS that was litigated previously per RecycledPixels above. The argument that because this is one of a large N that makes it less notable is fallacious. A larger population means more, not less, notable examples would be expected. For example, a larger country should have more notable people. The fact that we don't know who the man is because of privacy concerns is irrelevant too. And the argument that this case is "only" unusual because of the mask contradicts the argument that this is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. In fact, because the mask use was so unique, it caused CBSA to issue an internal alert that was leaked to CNN, so this became an international story. We have in-depth follow-up coverage in multiple reliable sources on both the initial investigation, the asylum hearings in Canada, and the arrest, trial, and conviction of ground personnel in Hong Kong. I have added several more of these refs to the article. So this AfD should be closed because the discussion above is now moot. Dhaluza (talk) 01:54, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Note: I have renamed the page Air Canada Flight 018 stowaway case because the article has been expanded to cover a related series of events, so case is more descriptive than incident. Also fixed capitalization error because "stowaway" is not a proper noun (and to match Greenock stowaways). Dhaluza (talk) 12:39, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- Note: I have renamed it again to Air Canada masked stowaway case because the flight number is beside the point, while the mask is much more to the point. Dhaluza (talk) 12:59, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- NOTE - It is not considered good form to move an article while the deletion discussion is still open please do not do it again. MilborneOne (talk) 19:50, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- You speak with authority, but in the passive voice. Who considers it not good form? And are you objecting to form or function?
- WP:DP is silent on page moves during AfD. WP:GD only says to note the move on the AfD, which I did. WP:MV says a scope change is a good reason to move a page. So I don't see any consensus for your assertion that "it is not considered good form to move an article while the deletion discussion is still open." Dhaluza (talk) 22:34, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- To quote "While there is no prohibition against moving an article while an AfD or deletion review discussion is in progress, editors considering doing so should realize such a move can confuse the discussion greatly, can preempt a closing decision, can make the discussion difficult to track, and can lead to inconsistencies when using semi-automated closing scripts." MilborneOne (talk) 10:29, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Also note that using the term "stowaway" in the title is also clearly misleading as the person in question was not actually a stowaway. MilborneOne (talk) 10:37, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Back in the late 2000s, various people responded to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 January 24#Category:Gay icons by creating spinoff essays about certain celebrities' status as gay icons which could be kept in Category:LGBT culture as an effective bypass of the CFD result -- but what's much less clear by 2021 standards is why any of these need to exist as standalone topics, separately from the person's relationship with their LGBTQ fan base being contextualized in their main article itself. Similar essays about Cher and Lady Gaga were long ago redirected to their respective BLPs, for comparison's sake -- but just like those, each of these is just a tossed salad of stuff that belongs (and/or already is) in the main article, mixed with minor anecdotal trivia like the RuPaul's Drag Race "Night of 1000 Madonnas/Kimonogate" incident, Janet advocating for safer sex (which what socially responsible celebrity in the 1990s didn't?) and the rumoured but unconfirmed bisexuality of Vincente Minnelli, that would be WP:UNDUE to place much weight on at all. (Whatever Vincente Minnelli's sexuality was or wasn't, it really doesn't have much to do with underpinning Judy Garland's place in queer culture.) These just aren't all that well thought out or particularly substantial as articles -- they're not even especially good essays -- and I just don't see why they're necessary as separate topics from the biographical articles that all three women already have.

- Keep Madonna as a gay icon clearly passes WP:N; the topic has been explored in depth by many independent RS, including Parade and NBC news. Coverage has been extensive enough that it should have its own article rather than being shoe-horned into the existing article for Madonna. Each of these 3 Wikipedia articles proposed for merger should be individually tested for WP:N. We shouldn't delete articles because similarly-focused articles have been deleted in the past. HouseOfChange (talk) 13:46, 4 July 2021 (UTC) Update Janet Jackson as a gay icon: also found in-depth individual coverage in South China Morning Post and The Washington Blade. Judy Garland as a gay icon: BBC and Irish Times, which points out widespread use of "friend of Dorothy" (I remember first seeing that in the movie Clueless.) AfD is not clean-up; these three are all independently notable topics. Each should be mentioned in the main bio but with a link to the article. HouseOfChange (talk) 14:01, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- The question is not whether these women are sourceable as gay icons or not — they all clearly are. The question is whether their status as gay icons needs to be treated as separate topics, with their own separate articles, from the biographical articles that all three women already have. In other words, it isn't a question of "Is Madonna sourceable as a gay icon?" — it's a question of "Do Madonna as a person and Madonna as a gay icon need to simultaneously exist as standalone articles independently of each other, or is Madonna's status as a gay icon better addressed within Madonna's BLP?" (And repeat the same question for both Janet Jackson and Judy Garland, obviously.) Bearcat (talk) 17:00, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete These articles are the worst precedent set in Wikipedia. I have never seen such blasphemy in my life. Painting a person like Judy Garland as a homosexual is blasphemy and a defamation against the woman who was married to a man! This is utter cursing, and I know how I feel when someone says I am LGBT. These articles foment division and hatred towards the heterosexual people and is a sign that these criminals are desperate to see at least 10% of the world population converted to LGBT before their mortal lifespan is finished. If this continues the fiefdom of LGBT will dominate and completely make Wikipedia's suffix meaningless.
- Just take a look what they have done to American animation. Armed with their liberal news media they have completely hijacked films such as Luca and Mitchells vs. Machines. No longer does it mean to say that if you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, it means that you are gay because you are the same gender! What utter nonsense. Thousands of prominent authors stated they have boyfriends and girlfriends. Can we rule them as homosexuals? No, only if ultra liberal news media like NBC come to their defense and spin tales of how the rainbow is LGBT...if you see a rainbow outside...or wait if you wear a rainbow pin...Oh that must be LGBT! This is the frenzy of avarice they have against the human kind who continue to live the life nature intended.
- This is an encyclopedia and should be respected like one. The more these people who write these articles, the more Wikipedia ceases to become a compendium of non-biased knowledge book. If anyone has the guts to read what a print encyclopedia used to look like, which I thankfully have they will realize truly how much this Wikipedia has been hijacked by this fiefdom. It used to be written by those who drew in inspiration from the vast print encyclopedias they read in 2000s. The fact that Wikipedia doesn't have moderators is its greatest weakness which has been taken advantage of in the last few years by editors who never opened a single page of the quintessence of encyclopedias: book encyclopedias. There must be a crackdown on these type of articles, because as I mentioned before, media will do anything to paint animated films as LGBT when they do not have anything to with them. Armed with all those citations these people will create even more articles on how Obama was a gay icon and continue their way down to history picking on people that doesn't have anything to do with LGBT.7falcon23 (talk) 01:09, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

DeleteYes these articles are delete-worthy because as a user pointed out, the articles follow WP:SYNTHESIS. The policy clearly states, "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. Similarly, do not combine different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source." There is no proof the Madonna or Garland is a gay icon. They never explicitly stated they are to followed by gay people. Only people who have done polls or found themes from their songs caused them to fit the criterion of gay icon. The creator of the article synthesized all those articles and implied the suggestion that they are gay icons. Also why does the Judy Garland template deserve the gay article anyway. It seems a disrespect to the actress. What if I write an article on how Garland was a music icon or a movie icon. Why does an article on being a gay icon deserve more weight when her lifestyle is based as a singer and actress? Where are the articles on those instances?- And this is absolutely insane. Some musician's lyrics mirrors the gay experience. Then one reporter asked her she is being followed. Her reply was "I don't care less." Afterwards, thousands of articles are written on how themes of the song is similar to LGBTQ themes, as if implying she wrote it just for them. Here is that same pattern of hijacking. As if the songs were dedicated only to the LGBTQ people and not to the actual people who weren't gay that Garland actually wanted to represent. And then suddenly she is a gay icon! So if I started to write songs, and the LGBT people started to say how the themes mirrors theirs. Then a conveyor belt of articles are written on how my songs are LGBT. Then suddenly someone puts the article "I am a gay icon: under my template in Wikipedia when I am a religious person. Is that respectful of that person? Also this is just the beginning. I talked about animation before, and these article creators are ready to write something on Frozen. There are many articles from the liberal press written on how Frozen 2 songs is a dedication to the LGBT people. There have zero evidence to back up the claim, and nary a word of this is confirmed by the song writers. Yet there are articles that conclude it is for LGBT people. I won't be surprised if I see an article under Elsa's template saying she is a gay icon, forever ruining the childish innocence and forever traumatizing the viewers who aspired to be like Elsa only to learn she rather not marry a man and only marry a woman.7falcon23 (talk) 00:38, 9 July 2021 (UTC) double !vote struck Beccaynr (talk) 04:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- It is simply not true that a synthesis of sources is needed for this topic. For example this book from a major publisher states directly that both Madonna and Judy Garland are gay icons (which is unrelated to whether they are/were gay themselves) and there are many more. All that needs to be decided is whether this aspect should be covered in a separate article or in the main articles about those people. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:58, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep all and incorporate additional sources. For Madonna as a gay icon: in addition to the sources noted by HouseOfChange, there is also e.g. Madonna at 60: How she became the queen of all queens (Independent, 2018), 10 Reasons Madonna Is An Eternal Inspiration to the LGBTQ Community (Billboard, 2017), Madonna capped off WorldPride with powerful message during concert at 'Pride Island' (USA Today, 2019), Gay iconography and lesbian omission (Varsity, 2020), The 12 Greatest Female Gay Icons of All Time (Out, 2014, also including Judy Garland as #1), Madonna delivers bizarre coronavirus monologue while soaking naked in a bath surrounded by rose petals (PinkNews, 2020, "Madonna, the gay icon and sometimes popstar, has created quite the splash...), so WP:GNG appears to be met for a standalone article. For Janet Jackson as a gay icon, in addition to sources noted by HouseOfChange, there is e.g. I Think, Therefore Icon: Janet Jackson (Out, 2014), Top LGBTQ Anthems Part 2: The ’80s and ’90s (LA Weekly, 2019, "...helped solidify Jackson as a LGBTQ icon..."), These 20 albums were essential in shaping LGBTQ culture (Queerty, 2019, also listing Garland and Madonna), WATCH: Janet Jackson honored with 2017 Music Icon Award at the Out100 Gala (GayStarNews, 2017), Janet Jackson Supports President Obama on Gay Marriage (BET, 2012), Queen Of The Underdogs: 5 Reasons Pink Is an Underappreciated Gay Icon (Billboard, 2017, "...Older audiences may throw in Cher or Janet Jackson..."), 12 Queer Anthems From The ’90s & ’00s That You Need To Revisit For Pride Month (Bustle, 2021, also includes Madonna), so WP:GNG/WP:BASIC appears to be met for a standalone article. For Judy Garland as a gay icon, in addition to the sources noted by HouseOfChange, there is also e.g. Why Judy Garland is still such a gay icon (SBS, 2019), Watch Renee Zellweger Explain Why Judy Garland Is a Gay Icon (Out, 2019), Rufus Wainwright On What Makes Judy Garland a Gay Icon (Playbill, 2016), Gay icons (Rufus Wainwright, Guardian, 2006, also listing Madonna), Is Hollywood still in love with the suffering ‘gay icon’?

- The question is not whether these women are sourceable as gay icons or not — they all clearly are. The question is whether their status as gay icons needs to be treated as separate topics, with their own separate articles, from the biographical articles that all three women already have. In other words, it isn't a question of "Is Madonna sourceable as a gay icon?" — it's a question of "Do Madonna as a person and Madonna as a gay icon need to simultaneously exist as standalone articles independently of each other, or is Madonna's status as a gay icon better addressed within Madonna's BLP?" (And repeat the same question for both Janet Jackson and Judy Garland, obviously.) Bearcat (talk) 17:00, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Beccaynr (talk) 17:23, 7 July 2021 (UTC)- The question still is not whether "the broad concept of gay icons" is a discrete subject from Madonna, either — it's whether "Madonna as a gay icon" is a discrete subject from Madonna.

- Merge All →Madonna →Janet Jackson →Judy Garland.
- The majority of these articles are about their subjects' involvement with LGBTQ+ affiliations in general and moreso support the claim that they're LGBTQ+ activists rather than simply gay icons.
- A lot of the articles' content is subjective. Even if the claim that the subject is a gay icon is backed up by evidence, the way the articles present it as fact constitutes WP:SYNTHESIS and likely original research. The Madonna source polling people on their opinion of if she is a gay icon does not verify the egregious claim that "Madonna is a gay icon embraced by the gay community" and I doubt any WP:RELIABLE source would. The articles also provide virtually zero context for the point of view of their subject being a gay icon; they do not indicate anywhere how prevalent or significant that position is. Lastly, the articles are all aspects dependent on the life of their respective celeberty, and do not warrant a stand-alone article. We don't have a "Madonna as a child" article or "Janet Jackson's musical legacy" article. I think the articles should be reworded in a neutral point of view, have subjective and undue content removed, and be merged into their respective main articles. —FORMALDUDE (talk) 01:02, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Per WP:NEXIST,
The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article
, and there are a wide variety of independent and reliable sources identified in this discussion that appear capable of objectively addressing WP:V, WP:SYNTH, WP:RS, and WP:GNG concerns described in the !vote above. Beccaynr (talk) 19:11, 9 July 2021 (UTC) - Comment There's nothing wrong whatsoever with creating subarticles about aspects of a subject (WP:SPLIT).

- Comment AfD is not cleanup, but an article about someone as a "gay icon" should focus on evidence that the person is considered a gay icon. Who has described this person as a gay icon and why? Being a gay icon means being the focus of attention and love from, specifically, gay fandoms including in modern times LGBTQ fandoms. Supporting LGBTQ causes is not equivalent to being a gay icon, otherwise Joe Biden would be a gay icon, which AFAIK he is not. HouseOfChange (talk) 16:20, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Indeed, e.g. Joe Biden’s inaugural prayer service was ‘the most LGBT-inclusive in history’ with blessing for trans and gay people (PinkNews, 2021, "After some toned-down hymns accompanied by an organist, gay icon Patti LaBelle appeared to give a rousing performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner"."), Gay icon Cher is set to headline a virtual LGBT+ fundraiser for Joe Biden (PinkNews, 2020), Cher Sings 'Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe' at Biden Benefit, (Advocate, 2020), "The gay icon was the final act..."), Do you believe in life after Trump? Cher sure does and wants to help Biden win (Los Angeles Times, 2020, "As a beloved gay icon and ally, Cher will be in good company...In related efforts by the Biden campaign, on Sept. 14, singer and gay icon Cyndi Lauper will appear at another LGBTQ+ event.") Beccaynr (talk) 17:40, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. I certainly agree that Wikipedia is hardly the place to decide who counts as a gay icon and who doesn't, since it is entirely subjective. Except, there are some people so famous as gay icons, and their status as such is so cemented by tsunamis of scholarly and journalistic material, that arguing they aren't gay icons and then deleting well-sourced and balanced essay pages/sections on the matter is extremely contrary to GNG. As a similar example, as Wikipedians surely we can't spend all day arguing over which musicians count as soul divas - and yet if you argue Aretha Franklin isn't popularly seen as such a thing, you're ignoring basically all critical opinion on the matter. OhioShmyo (talk) 18:46, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Judy Garland. Obviously a substantiated and notable topic, but would definitely overwhelm any potential merge target. Delete Madonna and Janet Jackson (maybe a very selective merge) - a list of pro-gay-rights statements is not sufficient to justify/substantiate an article on someone being a gay icon. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:45, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep all per WP:SIGCOV. Clearly a WP:BEFORE search was not done by any of the delete votes. Google books and google scholar alone provide a host of sources, not to mention what’s available in press publications. My university library search shows academic journal articles in queer and gender studies covering these topics. Frankly, the Madonna article is missing a lot of key underlying content from much earlier in her career, such as her mainstreaming of vogue from gay subculture and the impact that had on gay men. The impact of Madonna: Truth or Dare which focused on the stories of her gay backup dancers, and the way her outspoken support during the AIDS crises of the 80s and 90s all impacted the gay community and influenced her status as an icon.4meter4 (talk) 12:57, 12 July 2021 (UTC) 4meter4 (talk) 12:45, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Madonna article. Despite now, every mainstream diva is a "gay icon" her main article isn't focused in sections such as "Other interest" or "Politics" (like with Cher) and this sub-article easily can have sections such as "criticism" or "activism" since her relation with the LGBT commmunity is vast (even before fame). Also, numerous LGBT-oriented publications such as Advocate and Out have dedicated whole articles to Madonna as a gay icon/relationship with LGBT community as well more mainstream music media like Billboard. As far I remember, she attained scholarly and academic comments within this area. No opinion about Judy Garland or Janet Jackson articles, but I don't oppose if both articles are deleted or we keep them. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 14:33, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep all, or keep none of them at all. Could these be condensed and merged to their main pages? You bet. However, I think they are all deserving of their own stand alone topics as per sources from each page. It was important to me to see major icons like Madonna and Janet, more so the latter as she looks like me, be so accepting in a time where being accepting of the LGBTQ community wasn’t the mainstream thing to do. Garland was doing this far beyond their years. It’s important that these articles exists on Wikipedia. Each of these women meant something to someone who identified with them because of era, race, etc. TruthGuardians (talk) 15:25, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep This subject passes GNG, and there is too much material out there to make it a subsection of a larger article, like gay icon or LGBT activism. It's really as simple as that. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 15:30, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

- With all due respect, but the claim “created with links to equally newly-created pages” is misleading. It’s only the proof that the esteemed colleague just clicked on two convenient links (the ones which proof nothing indeed) and ignores the entire scientific literature. Is Wikipedia now based on a fast look at mostly irrelevant links while the entire scientific sources are being ignored?
- So far, what was added has better academic sources and references than most of all the pages about Rhodesia.
- I will not “fight” with people who work with this attitude. I’m a scientist without the desire to continue the Rhodesian bush wars here.

Curbon7 (talk) 15:36, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Delete - The review in The Mary Sue appears to be the only review that appeared in a reliable, secondary source, which falls short of passing WP:NFILM.

Several of the Keep arguments above are arguing that there are sources not included in the article that show notability, but none have been provided here, and I have not been able to find any myself. It could possibly be redirected to The Gamers (film)#Sequels and spin-offs where it is already mentioned, but as that article, itself, is completely absent of reliable sources as well, doing that might just be kicking the can down the road until a potential AFD for that article in the future.

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a journalist, not reliably sourced as passing our notability criteria for journalists. Right across the board, this is referenced entirely to sources that are not proper support for notability: directories of her own work on the self-published websites of her own employers, 13 pieces of her own bylined writing about other topics, four more pieces of writing bylined by one of her business partners, Facebook posts, an IMDb page, an online store, a circular citation to another Wikipedia article, content on the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations or companies, and glancing namechecks of her existence in sources that aren't about her in any non-trivial sense. As always, however, notability is not a question of verifying the extent to which she's been the author of media coverage of other things, it's a question of verifying the extent to which she's been the subject of media coverage written by other people — but out of 35 footnotes here, not even one represents third party coverage about her in a reliable media outlet independent of her, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to be referenced much, much better than this.

One of many poorly sourced articles in the "Speedway" (motorcycle racing) topic area. The only source is a blogspot blog; it appears that blog is copying content from this page that dates to 2011. Perhaps Northern League (speedway) is a redirect target, though that page has issues as well.

I find it hard to believe that it has been nominated for deletion by User:力 and I don't think too much hard work went into looking at its importance in relation to speedway in Britain or for looking for references. I will add some now. Pyeongchang (talk) 08:40, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Please note there were plenty more by using simple keywords in a Google search, I would suggest a proper search before nominating for deletion in future. Pyeongchang (talk) 09:12, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. While we do have a problem with speedway articles being poorly sourced (due to many of the editors working in this area not adding sources rather than a lack of sources existing), that doesn't justify deletion. As User:Pyeongchang has demonstrated, sources do exist, and there will certainly be a wealth of sources to be found in newspapers from the era. Speedway meetings in 1930 attracted attendances of up to 70,000 spectators, so it was certainly a major sport in Britain at the time. --Michig (talk) 10:57, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. As i created the page I am possibly biased, but in 1930, this league was the highest tier of English Speedway, it wasn't some local nondescript league. Perhaps User:力 has not understood the historical significance. I pretty much echo the thoughts of Pyeongchang and welcome his work adding the references.Rcclh (talk) 12:59, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment the GreyhoundDerby.com reference added looks good, with plenty of primary sources; however I'm not sure the content there justifies having this be a separate article from Northern League (speedway).

Two minimally sourced articles about municipal council elections in a small town, with no particular evidence that they would be notable topics. In both cases, the sourcing is being used entirely to support mini-BLPs of individual people (the mayor in 1994, a ward councillor in 2006) who would not otherwise pass WP:NPOL #2 for the purposes of actually getting standalone articles, with absolutely no sourcing present to support the notability of the elections as events. We long ago deprecated the idea that we need to document town council election results in every small town on earth — to be fair, that was a popular strain of belief at the time these were created, so they were good faith creations at the time, but these just aren't demonstrating any compelling reason why they would still be needed.

Why???

GNews did give me results, but it's mostly guides of what Christmas movies are on Netflix or TV newspapers and pop culture publications normally do, not actual coverage. Actually, since the general topic of Lifetime Christmas movies gets coverage for dominating cable TV with right-wing and "apoltical" messaging, fascist propaganda, and inspiring the just-as-right-leaning Fox News to do its own boring-ass, lifeless holiday coal they call Christmas TV films, I'd create an article on that and redirect this specific film article to that, as the film is the same boring, wouldn't-trigger-Republicans dribble as those other Lifetime films. 👨x🐱 (talk) 20:50, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

- Skirmish at Alabama Bayou (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Skirmish at Aberdeen for another work by this same page creator. The cited source is Dyer 1908 p. 739, which simply states Sept. 20 ... Skirmish, Bayou Alabama in a list of battles of in Louisiana. Dyer 1908 p. 595 also mentions this action, but just to say Alabama Bayou, La. -- Skir. ... Sept. 20, 1864. So I have no idea where the result, location, and commanders listed in the article are coming from, as they have no support in the cited source.
This does support that there was a skirmish on Sept. 20 at Bayou Alabama, but says nothing in-depth, as its just a table. Likewise, this is just a passing mention in a list as well. This states that it was part of the Operations in the Vicinity of Morganza, but not much else. This explains it all - 225 Union cavalrymen broke up a small Confederate camp. However, it's a primary source report and can't be used for notability. Short mention here, but it's mainly just Luman L. Cadwell's Medal of Honor citation. I don't think enough has been written in non-primary sources for this minor skirmish to meet WP:GNG, even if a Medal of Honor was won in it. Hog Farm Talk 16:26, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

- Comment @MushroomMan674:, @SpectresWrath:, @Link20XX: There are only two seasons at present, if it was like the List of The Big Bang Theory episodes then it would makes sense to have them split. However at this point, why should it be split off into multiple articles. Just look at List of White Collar episodes, every episode is listed on one page. List of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon episodes should be able to contain all the content fine. I consider season one and two completely unnecessary WP:CONTENTFORKS at this time.

- Comment To give an even further comment, look at something like Dr. Stone (season 2). Granted, it's going to have another season eventually, but even when that page was made, the show only had 2 seasons to its name, and the article was allowed to stay up. So why not this one? MushroomMan674 (talk) 04:47, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- @MushroomMan674: That Dr. Stone is terrible, you can easily have all that information on one page, instead you have three pages, so the information is split between three very short articles, when it can easily be contained all in one article. They should all be merged into one article. Poor structure. Govvy (talk) 09:23, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Not every season in anime is gonna be long. Look at season 7 for Naruto Shippuden for example, its only 8 episodes. Even One Piece has 4 seasons with only 13-16 episodes in it. SpectresWrath (talk) 17:06, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Merge for now The second season hasn't aired yet. I don't see a case to split the seasons just yet. Once the second season has aired for a while re-splitting can be reconsidered. For future reference if this gets revisited, after season 2 airs I would support seperate season pages as its part of Inuyasha, but would also support merging the summary list article into the main show article as it should still meet WP:SIZE concerns when it doesn't include episode summaries.

The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified.

History of bitcoin is a very low-quality article; putting this content there will improve that article. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 01:53, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. Per Кирилл С1, the references they have in this dicussion are reliable in some, but mentions. I've also added a ref of her death, in which it was the only news of death, that I could find. MoviesandTelevisionFan (talk) 00:48, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

- List of public television news programs (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Unsourced and weirdly organized list with maintainability issues, on a characteristic that isn't necessarily a useful grouping of topics.
Essentially, this is just a list of television news programs aired by publicly-funded broadcasters -- but that isn't necessarily a useful point of comparison between, say, PBS NewsHour in the United States and Xinwen Lianbo in China or between BBC News at Six in the United Kingdom and 보도 in North Korea, because the context of what publicly funded broadcasting even means varies from country to country. (It means something very different in a democratic society than it does in an authoritarian dictatorship, for example.)
Furthermore, this list includes offsite links to almost every listed program's own self-published website, which Wikipedia lists are not supposed to do, and for some of the listed entries even the "programme" column interlangs to a foreign-language Wikipedia article instead of an English-language Wikipedia article, which we're also not supposed to do since most readers of the English Wikipedia don't understand the foreign language in order to even be able to read the article.
And on top of that, it also obliterates a lot of context, since in some cases it lists one newscast for networks that produce several newscasts -- for example, the CBC in Canada also produces morning, noon, 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts in addition to the prime time newscast, as well as a couple of investigative newsmagazine series, rolling throughout-the-day newscasts on a full 24-hour news channel, and lather, rinse and repeat all of that in French too.
This just isn't an important or meaningful point of commonality between the listed programs per se, because it just buries far too much context and nuance and complexity in the sand, and violates several of our rules about lists in the process. Bearcat (talk) 00:03, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. This list fails to distinguish between public broadcasting and state media among the other problems mentioned by the nom. In addition, the list apparently fails to include any news programs that are no longer being broadcast. It also uses text in non-roman writing systems in a way which is not accessible to readers of the English Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:02, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per nom - WP:SYNTH problems as well as problems with "selecting" one news program to list. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 01:51, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per Met90's reasoning; this article simply doesn't know what public broadcasting and state media are, and the difference between them. The choices are also incredibly random; BBC News at Six isn't the BBC's prime news show by any means, while the ABC's 7.30 isn't even a straight newscast. Nate • (chatter) 21:59, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
