Delete Searches of the usual Google types, including by Bengali name, failed to identify significant coverage in independent sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:18, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As a global view, this discussion may be affected by an English language bias. Perhaps the broader reliable sources are in Bangladeshi. A bilingual editor should be consulted before this article is deleted.--Eastview2018 (talk) 12:45, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- It's reasonable to wonder if there is significant coverage in non-English sources. The language spoken there is Bengali (also known locally as Bangla). This discussion has been advertised for two weeks to WikiProject Bangladesh, where most participants, including myself, have some knowledge of the language. As I said in my !vote, I searched for independent significant coverage in Bengali and didn't find any. Even a non-speaker such as yourself can search for "শহীদ বীর-উত্তম লে. আনোয়ার গার্লস কলেজ" and evaluate the results using translation tools. The article needn't be kept to do that. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV. There are only passing mentions of the school in local news articles from The Daily Star, Dhaka Tribune and bdnews24.com. A Google search for the Bangla name শহীদ বীর উত্তম লেঃ আনোয়ার গার্লস কলেজ populated three news results that I was unable to translate. A Google Scholar search shows that the school has been a research participant, but I could not find coverage beyond acknowledgement of its participation. If anyone can prove WP:SIGCOV, I will happily change my vote. Heartmusic678 (talk) 13:18, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've honestly not been sure how seriously to take the article, I even wondered if someone had given it to the subject as a birthday present!

Delete. One reference (sort of), and virtually nothing else. As a side note, I'm concerned that the image is a copyright violation. PBWilliams (talk · contribs) moved the image to Commons, saying it was their own work. However, in this article they created, PBWilliams says that "The logo was designed by graphic artist John Garvin." Unless PBWilliams is a pseudonym, that's a copyright violation. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 21:54, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kjeld Gogosha-Clark

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

I'm tempted to speedy this as a blatant hoax—I find it vanishingly unlikely that even the most obscure "filmmaker, actor and writer" would have no Google hits other than Wikipedia mirrors—but given that the page is 15 years old, there's a conceivable chance that this person is both genuine and notable. Needless to say, it only has one incoming link other than a dab page; that page (Gaylord Dingler) was created at the same time as this one and to me looks equally questionable, but LA comedy isn't something on which I'm qualified to comment. Needless to say, the sole "reference" is a dead link (as are the four alleged references on Gaylord Dingler, come to that). ‑ Iridescent 19:47, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't think this is a hoax (although I certainly understand how you came to that conclusion): the Shakespeare performances, optical boutique, and cycling-related coffee shop all seem to check out, remarkably enough. This is of little moment, however, since he falls far short of notability: without some sort of significant coverage, I'm left to assume that he's simply a wannabe trying to make a name for himself in Hollywood. In other words, never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by self-promotion. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 20:22, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as blatant promotion. What isn't obviously promotional in this may or may not be fiction. Even if all of the not-obviously-promotional were all verifiable, this would amount to no notability and the article viewed as a whole would be promotional. Yes, for all I know it may be a fictional parody of a promotion -- but really, life's too short to waste it on determining exactly which factors have been combined to create junk such as this. (And ditto for "Gaylord Dingler".) -- Hoary (talk) 22:23, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is not a hoax and it's debatable whether it fails WP:PROMO, but I am not really finding any evidence of WP:SIGCOV and no indication of WP:BIO being met. All coverage is from vanilla websites that show no indication of meeting WP:RS. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:18, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BASIC. Another non-notable Tuskegee Airmen created by the same User (indeffed for copyvio). First 2 sources are CAF Rise Above, a user contributed site so not RS. 3) is just a passing mention in a photo caption. 4) Aviation Online magazine is of questionable reliability and doesn't seem to have been updated since 2017. 5) Troup County sounds reliable but no link or title was given and I can't find anything on searching the site. 6) Getty Images is just a photo. Finally Christian Science Monitor is RS but this is not substantial coverage and just based on an interview with the subject. WP:NOTINHERITED applies here, just belonging to a notable unit/organisation does not confer notability on all its members. A Google search shows his name in a few Tuskegee Airmen books but these are just photo captions or lists with no in depth detail Mztourist (talk) 03:24, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - being a member of the Tuskegee Airmen is laudable and honorable, but not notable. Currently, none of the keep arguments are actually based on policy. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My position is based upon numerous policies including WP:ATD, WP:NOTPAPER and WP:PRESERVE – three separate policies. It's the deletion side of the argument which is not based on policy, being based mostly on WP:N, which is not a policy, with a big dash of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Andrew🐉(talk) 15:55, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your position should be based on a review of the sources which you notably haven't done. As you know WP:N is a guideline, do you really think it shouldn't be followed? There is no IDONTLIKEIT in my nomination or any of the other deletion arguments. Mztourist (talk) 03:13, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The deletion rationale fails to outline a policy reason for deletion: WP:NOTINHERITED is not based on policy - it is an essay. Policies include: WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. Additionally the fact that the author was "indeffed for copyvio" has nothing to do with the notability of this subject. The information is only provided in the rationale to Poison the well. For my own keep rationale: I refer to the notability guideline WP:ANYBIO and I see that the subject passes 1 and 2 easily. 1. The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor ✅, or has been nominated for such an award several times; 2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field ✅ Lightburst (talk) 16:57, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A unit award does not satisfy #1 of ANYBIO which is for individual awards. He was one of a group that made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field, so #2 of ANYBIO isn't satisfied either. Mztourist (talk) 03:11, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are you seriously claiming that WP:NOTINHERITED should be ignored, and that notability can be inherited?

NOTINHERITED is a long-respected summary of policies that have a long-standing consensus. If your position depends on ignoring it, that's not a strong position. ApLundell (talk) 15:54, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ApLundell Read the five pillars WP:5Ps - not one single mention of essays. And then look at WP:N which is the guideline we apply. Here is what our project says about WP:ESSAYS: Essays have no official status, and do not speak for the Wikipedia community as they may be created and edited without overall community oversight. Following the instructions or advice given in an essay is optional. Regarding established consensus see WP:CCC (also a policy) - consensus can change. I am following the guidelines regarding this subject, please have another look at the article - I did work on it. Lightburst (talk) 23:06, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Keep because notable" is not much of an argument either. -Indy beetle (talk) 23:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ironically, we have been through an infinite number of soldiers who were the namesake of destroyers. And the argument is that there accomplishments mattered naught. Meets WP:GNG. That is a WP:Notability argument. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 00:23, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All those soldiers were deleted because they failed BASIC and having a minor ship named for you in WWII isn't a basis for notability. The same applies here, this Tuskegee Airman fails BASIV and is not individually notable. Mztourist (talk) 04:39, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Selective Merge into Tuskegee Airmen. The nominator's analysis of the sources is correct, of course, and shows that the subject isn't covered in depth in reliable secondary sources. I think the one sentence about Fuller facing racism from a bigoted hotel manager is a good example that could be incorporated into the Tuskegee Airmen section about racism. But there's nothing else keepable in any form. Reyk _YO! 19:13, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails to get enough coverage in independent reliable sources. The CAF is by its own description "a 501 (c) 3 Texas non-profit organization dedicated to flying and restoring World War II aircraft," and while well-intentioned seems rather dubious for historical information - it's declared specialty is basically acting as a hobbyists club. Some of the websites ain't worth much (Aviation Online looks rather amateurish, and WW2 multimedia datatbase looks like a passion project of a guy who has befriended some history professors but hasn't actually gotten them to write for him), and the sporadic single mentions in things like the CS Monitor or the inclusion of his name in a caption in the Getty Images database hardly count for anything. The book on LaGrange actually has a fair blurb on him, but the Legendary Locals of Edgecombe and Nash Counties, North Carolina book (also Arcadia Publishing) basically says the same about him but less. I think for the purposes of notability we can only count Arcadia books as one source of notability in instances where they are repeating their own info; I have a lot of experience with this series (own some, they like to do historical series on various localities in the US) and they do have a tendency to mirror information when there is crossover in the subject matter of each book (such as when they do one book on a county and another on a major town within that county). -Indy beetle (talk) 05:13, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as Willie died in 1995, I cannot imagine why this would be relevant to a magazine article about things that happened in the 1940s. Moreover, I am not aware of any guidelines saying that sources must be updated on a yearly basis in order to be reliable; this seems like a non sequitur at best. jp×g 00:03, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Ignoring the pure votes and other similar arguments; the keep arguments are not convincing (since many commentators note that notability is not inherited), or fail to recognise that even if it applies (there is controversy over whether a group award counts for this purpose), ANYBIO is not an absolute. The arguments for deletion or merging are more convincing, but there is no consensus (yet) as to whether deletion or merging should be preferred, so I cannot impose one option above the other. Relisting in the hope of a positive outcome (especially given the "merge" option was proposed only by some of the alter comments and does not seem to have been fully discussed).

Comment why is a non-admin (RandomCanadian) pontificating and relisting a contested/no consensus AfD? The article has evolved and information about this Airman's role was updated. However, a non-administrator making an administrative decision like this is controversial and therefore not-allowed on the project. Lightburst (talk) 22:52, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lightburst, if your only complaint is that I'm not an admin; then that is irrelevant, since admins do not have any special status as far as closing or relisting discussion goes. See "Closures (or relistings) will rarely be changed by either the closing editor or a closure review: 2. if the complaint is that the closer is not an admin.". This warrants a relist; since there is no clear consensus and not all options have been fully explored. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 23:06, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The general rule is if it is controversial - leave it to an admin. You are an editor and you are not elected to preside over any contested decisions - especially when you extended your comments acting as if you are Solomon. You are not are even allowed to close a contested AfD discussion - yet you say... I cannot impose one option above the other. You will need to either have the community elect you as an admin, or stick to WP:SNOW keeps and deletes. This was a controversial relist - but it may not have been without your extended comments and pontification. I will be done commenting on this AfD now. Lightburst (talk) 00:41, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, your interpretation of that is fundamentally at odds with WP:NOBIGDEAL (the mere fact of "being an admin" does not grant anyone additional prestige or authority in matters which do not require admin tools, such as relisting or closing an AfD when the result is not "delete") and usual practice (i.e. not being an admin does not restrict anybody to SNOW closes - there are plenty of examples in AfD logs of discussions which are controversial to some extant closed by non-admins; and here I didn't even close it, I just relisted, since this was a few days already beyond the point which it should have been relisted or closed, nobody had bothered to do it, and there was no clear outcome).

Comment Having read over some of the discussion listed at list of Military-related deletion discussions the author appears to be very focused on deleting articles about Tuskegee Airmen. The format seems to be: Another non-notable Tuskegee Airmen followed by any type of issue that could lead the article being deleted. With so many articles needing attention, the active drive to only focus on deleting articles is concerning. Adam MLIS (talk) 23:58, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominating an article for deletion because it has an "issue that could lead to the article being deleted" seems fairly regular operating procedure. If the article can be improved; by addressing the nominator's concerns; that would be a very strong argument for keeping, and will probably lead to the next person who wants to close this discussion in a week's time having a far easier job than me. Merely being concerned that there is a "drive to only focus on deleting articles" is not a particularly good reason, nor does it address the concerns about the suitability of this article. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:04, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Adam MLIS by "author appears to be very focused on deleting articles about Tuskegee Airmen" I assume that you are referring to me. I am very focussed on deleting pages where the subject fails BASIC. If you look at all the pages created by the User:Bluecountrymutt, you will see that I have gone through all of them, cleaned up and improved many of them and identified those that I believe fail BASIC and then PRODed and/or AFDed those. Mztourist (talk) 11:57, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Adam MLIS, a very gentle reminder to WP:AGF. The nominator has contributed substantively to the Tuskegee Airmen page and to pages on individual airmen; let's keep the discussion focused on whether the article subject has received WP:SIGCOV, a topic on which reasonable people working in good faith can disagree. Thanks! Suriname0 (talk) 17:38, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment These articles came from a CCI investigation, which I've linked to before in the hopes of generating some cleanup interest: Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/Bluecountrymutt. Oddly, slugging it out at AfD seems to be much more interesting for many. These articles often share common issues: copyright violations, reliance on a handful of poor (and often non-RS) sources (CAF and related sites being the most common), and inherited notability (the person is assumed to be notable because they belonged to a notable unit). The question of reliance on non-RS sources is often dodged. Some of these individuals are notable, and their articles have been kept. Others are not once you get past the unit affiliation issue. Intothat darkness 00:18, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

darkness Read it again please. It is not the article it was when nominated. I hope you take another look - I and others have spent much time updating the article with RS. The person has significance. However, I have really said enough in this AfD - and rather than do a drive-by or slug it out at AfD I have been working on the article daily. Lightburst (talk) 00:41, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked at the article...not less than an hour ago in fact. I don't agree that it's improved significantly, but that's not due to a lack of work and effort on your part (and others). It's because there simply isn't much to work with. If there was, we wouldn't need to rely on CAF at all...yet it still lingers in the article. And I still think it's better to get to these articles before they reach AfD...which is why I keep posting the CCI list link and have worked some of those articles myself. Intothat darkness 01:43, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And I just corrected misattributed information in the article lede...which was part of the original article as created by the banned CCI individual. THIS is why it's better to hit these articles as part of the CCI cleanup as opposed to now. You have to check pretty much every existing source in addition to adding new ones (if they exist). Intothat darkness 17:19, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Finally having time to look at this article, I believe the subject meets WP:GNG, with sigcov in the Cooper book and the Christian Science Monitor article (both cited), in addition to other scattered mentions. Contrary to the nom, the CSM article looks like significant coverage to me, and it appears that editorial oversight and selective quoting were applied (i.e. it's not "just an interview" and should be treated as a secondary source). Suriname0 (talk) 16:50, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The content from CSM and Boy's Life is almost identical. Fuller's coverage in CSM amounts to three brief paragraphs including a single generic post-war anecdote, none of which in my view establish him as being notable beyond being a Tuskegee Airman. His individual military notability still appears to be based solely on Tuskegee. Intothat darkness 22:23, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For any discussion readers, I want to explicitly affirm that I still find the sources sufficient to meet WP:GNG. A source with "three brief paragraphs" devoted to the subject is actually pretty good! (The essay at WP:NERROR suggests "two or more paragraphs of text focused on the topic at issue" as a rule of thumb, which is about where we are with this source.) In fact, relative to other sources used to establish used to establish notability in the AfD WP:BIO-related Keeps I've been involved in, I think the CSM article is well above the line as far as WP:SIGCOV goes. (I've complained before that WP:SIGCOV is the most ambiguous policy on Wikipedia, and absent firmer policy guidance we're forced to interpret by our own standards, which is why I lean on AfD precedent. If the precedent for sourcing standards are higher for soldiers specifically than for other article subjects, as is true for e.g. corporations, I would hope to see that reflected in a notability guideline somewhere, but I'd be happy to be informed by someone more familiar with soldier-related articles. It's an open secret that vastly different standards apply to articles depending on topic area, so to some degree I do want to defer to soldier-specific norms if they exist. My point is that if this were a bio of a living person, the existing sourcing would generally be sufficient to keep the article.) Regarding content overlap, I think it's generally a good thing when we see similar content appear in multiple reliable sources; I don't see any indication that one sources draws exclusively from the other, so I conclude the sources are independent of each other. Suriname0 (talk) 17:25, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CSM isn't SIGCOV by any standard, be it for corporations or soldiers. And Sigcov by itself isn't sufficient, you have to demonstrate that the content belongs to an encyclopedia (WP:NOTEVERYTHING, an actual policy as opposed to sigcov, a guideline). Significant coverage alone doesn't establish notability, especially if it's all run-of-the-mill content like Cooper 1996 (it just describes his career, but does not indicate why his career makes him notable in a way that others are not). And that's the best source that has been found so far. Avilich (talk) 18:33, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Avilich, I'm a little confused by your comment. What about the article violates the WP:NOTEVERYTHING policy in your opinion? Suriname0 (talk) 20:13, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Yes, this is sufficient sourcing to pass WP:N. The keep voters are providing a more convincing argument. For many years, he was the only black flight instructor in his field, and he was recognized for his services both contemporaneously and in recent decades. Patiodweller (talk) 23:41, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment None of the sources presented so far are particularly impressive. The ubiquitous CAF with its user-submitted content continues to feature here, as do image galleries like Getty and that WW2 database (there's also a Youtube video). Several sources can be readily dismissed for providing only the briefest and most trivial coverage, such as Fleming 2013 (only says he served on 76 missions, without any commentary), Boys' Life 1994 (one single quotation, not independent), Jet 1993 (his name among several others in a minor honoring ceremony), and CSM (a single post-war anecdote, as Intothatdarkness explained above, and not strictly independent since it has direct quotes with no substantial commentary). The websites AviationOnline and LogicalThinker are probably unreliable, as is certainly Find A Grave. Cooper 1996, the only source to possess anything substantial, fails WP:ROUTINE. The entire article in its current form also fails ROUTINE. So, based on the current state of the sourcing, there's little to indicate that stands out particularly notably from the rest of the Airmen. Avilich (talk) 00:43, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- There is indeed consensus that Find-a-Grave is unreliable and its listed at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, so I've removed it and added a cite needed tag. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:53, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: deleting things to favor your desire for deletion is poor form. I see you also deleted a photo of Willie Fuller with Lena Horne. The photo is referenced and I have reinstated it in the article. Regarding FAGrave, There is literally a photo of the subject's grave marker on the link. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/182577495/willie-howell-fuller Lightburst (talk) 16:21, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The photo was legitimately deleted because its copyright status is unclear. Indy beetle deleted it, you reinstated it, I deleted it, you reinstated it, that's edit-warring. There is clear consensus that it should not be there until its copyright status is resolved. I have now nominated it for deletion. Find a Grave is not a Reliable Source. Adding photos of unclear copyright status is the poor form here. Mztourist (talk) 16:54, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)I have asked you allow others to participate here without refuting every keep argument. Deleting a reference which includes a photo of the actual grave marker of fuller seems exteme, but ok - the information can be verified elsewhere. Deleting a public domain publicity photo also seems extreme. My offer on your talk page stands. This is a consensus based encyclopedia and all depends on who shows up. My fear is that they will be hesitant to participate in what has become a tendentious debate - each keep ivote has a refutation - it is a bit much. I acknowledge my over-participation as well. Lightburst (talk) 17:40, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lightburst, you are lying about the the copyright status of a photo, that's the height of intellectual dishonesty here and could expose us to copyright vio claims. Neither the LaGrange book nor the HuffPost article identify it as a US Gov photo, and yet you repeatedly claim it is. It may very well be, but that is not certain. It was also incredibly misleading of you to originally label that photo with the note "There is not commercial interest in this photo" when it was published in a book by a publishing company (Arcadia) that basically makes all of its money on books of photo collections and when it was the centrepiece of a HuffPost article. If you find a reliable source which indicates its origins as PD then I will happily drop my efforts here. -Indy beetle (talk) 00:46, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, Lightburst you are asserting without any evidence that the photo is in the public domain. Its clear that you uploaded it and are trying to keep it in order to inflate this poorly referenced page and claim that just because he appeared in a photo with someone famous he's notable. If you want the photo to stay then it is your responsibility to prove that it is in the public domain. Mztourist (talk) 02:59, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Public Domain- do a reverse google search. Why do you suppose the military took photos of stars with military? To sell them? There are three of you and your desire to erase this article is about the most incredible tendentious behavior I have seen on the project, since the Bachelor Lake AfD. I improved the article, and then moved on, but you three are gardening this deletion. Meanwhile I am editing the Harold Brown (Tuskegee Airman) article. I am not even following this food fight anymore. I only noticed because indy erased the photo again. Take this concern to WP:FFD. Or diminish the article to favor deletion. I am not going to edit war, or continue this tit for tat. Lightburst (talk) 03:44, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And what does your "reverse google search" show? It shows that the photo appears on various websites, but it does not in any way confirm that it is in the public domain. You keep stating without any evidence that the military took it, well PROVEIT, because unless you can show it was taken by the US Government or has otherwise been released from copyright it is not public domain. Delighted that you're improving other notable Tuskegee Airmen pages that are infected with the creator's copyright abuse, but you should not be creating more CCIs by adding photos such as this. Mztourist (talk) 05:00, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A photo being reproduced a lot on the internet in no way indicates it’s in the public domain. -Indy beetle (talk) 13:11, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The status of the picture has YTBD.

And yet ~~Major~~ Captain Fuller is surely buried in that cemetery. Your repeated insistence on 'policy' that Find a grave is "not a reliable source" may be true, but it really doesn't negate the underlying fact.

To be sure, the national VA burial lookup doesn't include him. We have verified his service, of course. And I have been unable to find any other source on line.

However, gutting the article's contents while an extended and contentious WP:AFD is pending looks like deck stacking. But you know that already. YMMV. But I'll WP:AGF and move along. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:37, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fuller left the service as a Captain, not a Major. Intothat darkness 23:32, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

7&6=thirteen, if you want to challenge the standing consensus of 6 discussions regarding the reliability of Find A Grave (the last of which was conducted earlier this year), go right ahead. Also, in regards to but it really doesn't negate the underlying fact, we rest on the policy of WP:VERIFY, not truth. -Indy beetle (talk) 00:46, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are right about his rank. I confabulate him with another. But he is buried where he is buried. Find a grave is right. Unless you have imagined a contrary source and result, that is. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:35, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you're implying I'm imagining sources, I'd suggest you take a step back. I've already had to correct at least three instances of imagination in this article (all related to inaccurate use of sources). And let's ask the difficult question: would Fuller be getting an article if he wasn't inheriting notability from his unit? Without that cache, would the sources be considered reliable and sufficient? I tend to think he wouldn't based on source evaluation. Can anyone demonstrate that the former Confederate Air Force site is reliable? I've found too many errors in their articles to believe they are. What RS there is all stems from his unit affiliation. Maybe someone could find something in his career with the Boy Scouts to bolster his notability (I did a quick search and didn't find anything, but it could be out there). But if the only claim to notability rests with his military career...it just isn't there once you take the unit away. Intothat darkness 02:36, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Okay, well, forget about all those sources for a minute: I have found some new good ones. As with the other Tuskegee AfD, a very half-assed newspaper search brought me no less than eight usable references, which on their own seem to support nearly all of the article's content. I've added them, incorporated information into the article, and copyedited it some as well. I think that this renders irrelevant most of the previous kerfluffu over CAF Rise Above (CRA) and Find-A-Grave (which I will not abbreviate). I do not understand how arguments over the merits of sourcing can rage for weeks without anyone having done this. I'll ping previous participants who expressed concerns about sourcing quality to have another look: @Mztourist:, @Peacemaker67:, @Intothatdarkness:, @Avilich:, @GPL93:, @Onel5969:, @Reyk:, @Indy beetle:, @4meter4:, @RandomCanadian: jp×g 23:17, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Since I sometimes find it confusing when presented with a list of refs of mixed relevance, I'll save the trouble for other discussion readers: [1] and [6] are the same syndicated news story, [3] is a bylined obit. The rest are passing mentions. Certainly the obit constitutes WP:SIGCOV and is appreciated for further meeting WP:GNG. (Of course, the other sources may be useful for replacing lower-quality sources in the article as well, but not for establishing notability.) Suriname0 (talk) 03:59, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first one is a photo caption with zero coverage, and last one doesn't even mention the subject apparently...? Do you have a minimum of diligence while doing your research, or do you just WP:NOTEBOMB in the hope that someone (FeydHuxtable below) will be swayed by quantity rather than quality of the sources? All of yours and jpg's sources miserably fail WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ROUTINE ("Per Wikipedia policy, routine news coverage of such things as announcements are not sufficient basis for an article"). Finding a picture, his name in a graduation or casualty roster, or a brief quote in an interview does not prove he was anything out of the ordinary. Avilich (talk) 13:34, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment more WP:REFBOMBING. 1 and 6 are the same AP story with just a quote by him. 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are namechecks only. The only story of any substance is 3, a short obituary that just confirms the existing page content. While we now have ref overkill of various mundane details, we still do not have a reliable source that he was a flight instructor which several Users above argue is a claim to his notability. Mztourist (talk) 03:56, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused by the suggestion that an article citing sources for its claims is "ref overkill", as this seems to conflict directly with WP:V. The statements made by an article should be supported by references -- there is really no two ways about it. His status as a flight instructor is mentioned in the third reference here (I don't have access to the print sources that were used to write the article before I edited it, so I can't cite them about whether he did so while in the military). jp×g 08:18, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ref overkill means that multiple refs are given to support the same claim eg. 2nd para of lede with 6 refs, 2nd para of body with 5 refs, 1st sentence of 3rd para of body with 4 refs. The Miami Herald obit says that he was a flying instructor after the war, but the lede states that "He was the only black flight instructor until December 1944" with the unreliable CAF as the only reference for this. Mztourist (talk) 09:34, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what ref overkill means. jp×g 22:59, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Moderately/somewhat notable member of very notable group.

Drmies (talk) 03:13, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Not great" sourcing would seem to indicate a lack of individual notability. Once again, if you take away unit membership you have a rather average pilot with a rather average and short career. I've also seen no evidence of notability from his time with with Boy Scouts. If there was, that might raise him above the bar in my view. But even the laudatory obits don't say much about it. Intothat darkness 17:17, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You admit that the sourcing is nothing out of the ordinary, but you 'don't care' and base your keep on a speculation that this might not have been the case in some unimaginable alternate scenario. This is of course no argument for keeping, but it's the most honest one yet, since it's the only one to grapple with the arguments brought against the current referencing, instead of ignoring/dismissing them altogether.

Comment: I'm right on the fence regarding this, I'm not sure. It's probably better to keep than delete in such cases.

I wouldn't be opposed to a list merge for most of these individuals. It at least acknowledges that in most cases any notability comes from unit affiliation.

The result was no consensus. I find the list of newspaper sources unconvincing since the coverage in each is trivial (like a caption identifying Lawson in a group photo) and the sum of several zeros is still zero. However, there is more merit in the paragraph from the Charles Francis book. It is debatable how much weight this should be given, but the majority of the participants here have considered it sufficient to be a basis for non-trivial coverage.

Weak Keep - In addition to the sources above, I identified a 1-paragraph bio in this book^[1] and a smattering of other mentions in academic sources about e.g. leading particular missions. Taken together, I would characterize the coverage as "non-trivial, but passing and not in-depth". Following WP:BASIC, ("If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability.") I think they just clear the bar.

Delete Throwing around Nexist, Atd, Preserve, and Anybio without demonstrating their applicability is no substitute to providing reliable sources and significant coverage. With regards to Anybio, there are no RSs showing that an award granted after the subject's death and not to him specifically (he is not mentioned by name on the award) makes him notable. As for the rest, the few RSs available seem to contain only a handful of sentences outlining WP:ROUTINE job and career developments. The rest are just image galleries or unreliable sources like CAF.

Comment If Francis is such a great source, why hasn't it been added to the article? The main sources used are still non-RS (CAF being the primary offender), and many of the links to the American Air Museum in Britain aren't supported by the site itself.

Keep per explanation of Suriname0, this passes WP:BASIC. Waddles 🗩 🖉 16:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the purpose behind BASIC is "can we write a factual, neutrally-written article that contains enough encyclopedic information to inform a reader about the topic?" Upon reading the article and reviewing the citations, the answer is "yes." I agree that being part of a large group of medal recipeints does not necessarily meet ANYBIO absent other indications of notability, but this honor, combined with BASIC, indicates that Wikipedia is improved by the inclusion of this article, and would be lessened by its absence. If the information contained in this article were controversial and unsourced by reasonable standards, then I would feel differently, but this has not been demonstrated. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 16:44, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BASIC states "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." if you actually look at the sources it is clear that those requirements are not met. Mztourist (talk) 14:29, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Frankly, WP:MILL or WP:ROUTINE are often invoked in contexts where they make little sense. It could be said, for example, that sources pertaining to Franklin Pierce are simple routine run-of-the-mill coverage from newspapers and books that report on every President of the United States. It might be true, even -- but it would be irrelevant to notability. Like the concurrent nomination of Willie H. Fuller, there isn't a really cogent argument against the best sources presented (i.e. the ones given earlier in this discussion). Surely, some of the sources are not so good, and surely the article can be rewritten to avoid them. I am not seeing a real issue with that. jp×g 00:13, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The cogent argument is BASIC which requires "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." requirements that are not met for Lawson or Fuller. Mztourist (talk) 14:29, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You keep selectively quoting BASIC. It's fine you don't believe the first bullet point is applicable in this case, but some of the rest of us believe that it applies. Saying the same thing over and over again doesn't make it any more (or less, for that matter) true. See WP:BLUDGEON. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 14:37, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There seems to be reasonable dispute whether the provided sources are sufficient to meet GNG. Given the discussion on this aspect is essentially assertions to two contrary positions (and since discussions are not votes, so comments asserting "per X" when X's arguments are not convincing or have been disputed are not considered), and there is no analysis of each individual source (see Template:source assess); it seems most prudent to relist, because, to me, the discussion "seems to be lacking (convincing) arguments based on policy".

Comment With regards to Suriname's source, which seems to be the sole reason everyone is voting keep, this is the extent of the coverage it offers about the subject's career as an Airman: Lawson was sent overseas with the first group of pilots of the 99th. In combat he distinguished himself as one of the most aggressive and daring pilots. That's it: his unit number and some rhetorical flair. The other sources that have been made available to the moment are as follows.

CAF, website with user-submitted content, unreliable
A tiny newspaper entry with a passing mention of his name among others, reporting their enrollment as trainees: trivial coverage
A museum database, with only a portrait, dates of birth and death, and unit number: trivial coverage
Congress resolution awarding medal to the airmen: primary source, no actual coverage, fails 'not inherited'
Aviation Safety Network database entry of the airplane in which Lawson died: no coverage at all
Aircraft-themed website, used only for that digression on footnote A and does not mention the subject at all
'Liberty Lady Book' website: coverage amounts to the same as Suriname's source, adding that he died in an air crash
Dryden 2005 ref, apparently a first-hand account of a colleague of his: most of the subject's mentions are passing, usually just outlining his presence in some random event or recollection – run-of-the-mill and superficial coverage

It's not too inaccurate to say that the coverage so far is quite unsatisfactory. The length of the 'Military career' section is kind of a dead giveaway already. Avilich (talk) 21:08, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I agree with the thrust of this comment. I haven't been following this discussion closely, but I voted "Weak" Keep based on a simple source I found in a few minutes of searching. Other Keep voters would be well-served to identify additional WP:SIGCOV in the many book sources that may discuss Lawson, or to bring the academic mentions of Lawson's actions during the war into this discussion so that those can be discussed substantively. (To be clear, I DO think the two-sentence "rhetorical" flair constitutes significant coverage, but it's certainly not enough to write an article around; we need the rest of the passing mentions in other sources for that. All the unit affiliation and congressional medal stuff is a red herring imo, and doesn't really influence my consideration of whether Lawson meets WP:GNG, which I think they [just barely] do.) Suriname0 (talk) 01:32, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I must confess to not even slightly understand what "rhetorical flair" is supposed to mean here. There was information about the man, specific to him, but it doesn't count as information because it had rhetorical flair? jp×g 00:23, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I concur with Avilich. Like many of these articles there is an over-reliance on non-RS sources (CAF being one), inherited notability based on unit affiliation, and what often amount to namechecks with some rhetoric thrown in (the Francis source, which hasn't even been added to the article as of the time of this post). The American Air Museum source sounds impressive until (as I pointed out before) you dig into it and discover it's based on user-submitted content (including elements ported directly from Wikipedia). This is a problem with many of these articles, not just this one. Strident defenses and poorly-chosen comparisons (found in another AfD for Tuskegee Airmen) don't change the fact that the sourcing for these articles is incredibly weak in many cases and often circular. Intothat darkness 00:10, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sadly, Avilich's analysis is on the money, most of the info about this guy is sourced to websites of dubious reliability, with wikifunctions or otherwise relying on usersubmitted content. I have no idea what the "Lillian Lawson Obituary" actually refers to, since there is no provided weblink or even a name and date of a newspaper edition in which it might have been published. The substance of the Francis book mention is that "Lawson was sent overseas with the first group of pilots of the 99th". The bulk of the sources (and arguments for keep) here seem to lay on the fact that he belonged to a group of 922 people and that the group was important. The Lady Liberty Book and site are WP:SELFPUBLISHed (therefore not reliable): The author's Linked-in page says that Beaver's Spur Publishing is "A single member Limited Liability Company formed by author Pat DiGeorge to publish her book LIBERTY LADY: A True Story of Love and Espionage in WWII Sweden." -Indy beetle (talk) 06:26, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I figured that, after this many bytes of verbal combat, someone surely would have bothered to do a newspapers search. Apparently this was not the case; I am currently going through about fifty results for Lawson and incorporating relevant ones as references to the article. jp×g 21:04, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have managed to come up with a couple newspaper references about Lawson. They include significant coverage of him, his career, his family, and the events described in the article. Oh, did I say "a couple"? I meant "twenty-three". It's baffling that this AfD could plod on for sixteen days, with nobody on either side doing basic literature search. Pinging previous participants who expressed concerns about quality of sourcing (@Peacemaker67:, @Intothatdarkness:, @GPL93:, @Avilich:, @Indy beetle:, @Mztourist:): here's what you were looking for.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]^[16]^[17]^[18]^[19]^[20]^[21]^[22]^[23] jp×g 21:44, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per the provision of the newspaper sources. These are mostly sporadic mentions or simply "here is a photo of some Tuskegee Airmen, Lawson is one of them". -Indy beetle (talk) 22:56, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment none of this is in-depth or particularly significant coverage. The vast majority simply name the subject amongst people who joined the AAF/graduated flight school or those who were involved in plane crashes. I mean, sources 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 are literally the exact same AP report listing Lawson among the victims of the 1952 crash with no additional personal information included. One is his wife's obit and another is a paid-for engagement announcement. @JPxG: which of these actually go into depth? Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:58, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
These are all plane crash reports, obituaries of relatives, graduation lists, or plain photo captions. Of course plane crashes are interesting events in their immediate aftermath, whence the media coverage; should the other victims ("Two Plane Accidents Kill Three White, One Negro Army Aviators") have wikipedia articles as well? Lawson is gets no more coverage in any of these sources than in those already provided. Instead of WP:REFBOMBING, can you give WP:THREE sources definitely showing that he stands out enough among his colleagues that he in particular deserves an encyclopedia entry? Dying in a plane crash, having relatives who died, graduating and serving in a notable unit are not evidence for that. Avilich (talk) 22:18, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Space Explorers

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

I tried to rescue this by looking for sources to estabilish notability, but I am finding next to nothing, some websites of dubious reliability (fansites, etc.) plus some discussion of this in a book by one of the creators (so not really an independent source). It reads like something that should be cult and notable (American Space Era animated flick using Soviet footage...), but sadly I failed in proving this is the case. Time for trial by fire, and I really would like to be proven wrong here, with this rescued. But if we cannot do this, this may need to go (perhaps some ATD in a form of redirect could work, but redirect where?). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:09, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus and Jclemens: Oh yes, that is indeed a promising source, and I'd definitely count it as significant treatment. If you want to judge the volume for yourself, the section "9. Die späte Rezeption: THE SPACE EXPLORERS im US-TV", page 22 + 23 top is almost wholly about The Space Explorers. It contains information about production history and motivation, a short plot summary, praises the special effects and comments on the popularity of the series and its impact by inspiring engineers and pilots to get involved in space flight. Hope that helps. Daranios (talk) 10:14, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because there are secondary sources after all: In addition to ""An absolutely fascinating period piece …": WELTRAUMSCHIFF I STARTET" discussed above, and the short/very short treatment in the two sources already in the article, I've come upon an article directly about the series by the Encyclopedia Astronautica, which seems a legitimate source as far as I can tell. So together these should nicely fulfill WP:GNG. Daranios (talk) 11:04, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but I am afraid EA is a one-person fansite ("It is maintained by space enthusiast and author Mark Wade.") and I doubt it is notable (I will be likely AfDing Encyclopedia Astronautica). Remember, folks, not everything that calls itself "an encyclopedia" is reliable. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:13, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, but the American Astronautical Society gave that site an award which "recognizes exceptional, sustained efforts to inform and educate on spaceflight and its history through one or more media". That should go a long way towards establishing reliability in that field. When doing a WP:BEFORE search for the Encyclopedia Astronautica you might want to consider that site and the other secondary source used in the German version of that article, and perhaps ping me if you are so kind. But that's another discussion. The Space Explorers also appear in another book, Fantastisches in dunklen Sälen. I can only see a preview though, which consists of two sentences that confirm the history and support by the space race climate. Maybe more, maybe not. Daranios (talk) 18:24, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Encyclopedia Astronautica is also worth checking out. Seems people who know something about it say it's reliable while those who don't get stuck on the self-published. I think a couple more sources along with evidence it has been cited in reliable sources (eg. academic papers) would go a long way. FWIW the article dates to March 2002 it is ancient nearing the Big Bang. -- GreenC 15:39, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have added to the reception section, also using another secondary source, an article from the Telepolis online magazine, which has about a paragraph on The Space Explorers. So I think what is now already in the article shows that secondary sources beat WP:WHYN, without even using all of them, or using them fully. Daranios (talk) 14:11, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Enough evidence to suggest this is worth keeping and enough reliable independent sources to pass GNG. The website http://www.thespaceexplorers.com/ contains a ton of fascinating information provided to the website by the makers of the film ie. reliable information as primary, but not inherently notable due to being self-published. -- GreenC 17:41, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Student clubs are almost invariably non-notable - most colleges and universities have a wide range of clubs, and these generally provide outlets for student interests, but make no impact on broader society or on particular fields of human endeavour. For this club to be notable, we would need to see proof that it has something special - a consistent over-representation in UK teams over many years, or consistent innovation in approaches to orienteering, or something - anything - that would make it stand out. The references do not provide evidence of such notability. There is little here that can reasonably be merged into Sheffield University. RomanSpa (talk) 11:53, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and oppose merge.Janero (talk) 21:38, 12 October 2021 (UTC) As the original author of this page my automatic reaction is oppose deletion. In the UK there are only two really strong university orienteering clubs - Sheffield and Edinburgh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_University_Orienteering_Club They are almost always in the top two for UK University championships and strongly complete at a national level. Both pages have similar formats and are probably the only reference for some of the history of the clubs - current students don't really like documenting history. It makes the citability of the page hard, and my recollection is that Wikipedia isn't supposed to be the a source itself but has become it perhaps. It does appear however that few of the UK orienteering clubs are represented here (only 5 of the 100+ UK clubs are listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Orienteering_clubs_in_the_United_Kingdom) and if ShUOC isn't notable then none of them will be. I would oppose merge as little value in merging in with the main university page as it would not be of interest of visitors of that page.[reply]

Keep. Passes WP:NALBUM and WP:GNG per Astig; although I will note that terrarelicta.com, albumoftheyear.org, and auralaggravation.com are all unreliable sources as some are self published blogs and others are on websites where anyone can post a review and are therefore potentially not independent/reliable. However, the reviews in scenepointblank.com, laut.de, and theaquarian.com provided by Astig are all respectable sources with editorial oversight and those are independent reviews of quality. I agree that refs 2 and 5 in the article are also reliable RS.4meter4 (talk) 02:51, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.

The result was redirect to List of villages in Akwa Ibom State. The !votes were three saying keep, three saying redirect, and one that seems to prefer keep but accepts a redirect. However, nobody arguing in favor of keep presented a rebuttal to the fact that notability in GEOLAND is only presumed and not inherited for simply any populated/official locality. Editors arguing in favor of delete provided clear evidence that the topic is not notable enough for a standalone article, primarily because of its sourcing, and the discussion resulted in a consensus to redirect.

De-prodded by Clarityfiend with the reasoning "more than enough official government sources for WP:GEOLAND". However, all the sources are simply database entries that do not even list the place's population. While there is a general presumption of notability in GEOLAND - that presumption can be rebutted. This village and others like it is not notable - we don't have population statistics or any information about the village other than the local government area it is located in (also, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Itak Ekim, a previous AfD I filed for a similar village, leading to its deletion, as these are not notable places).

Hi. I disagree with the nomination for deletion of the Ebstar page. According to the wikipedia notability criteria, this page qualifies as notable because Ebstar has one charted song, I have a crush on you in five local music radio 'top 100' charts, including ZiFM, SkyzMetro, PowerFM, Radio Zimbabwe and Khulumani FM. These radio charts are announced weekly. There is however no media coverage ie. official chart placements like the Billboard. Ebstar is also placed 311th on the Skiomusic international community charts^[1] ^[2]. Skiomusic is an independent music producers platform with over half a million users. Among all, the artist has a significant amount of streams. all these are good counts of notability.

i however understand that there might be not much media coverage with some i'm not familiar of. I hope this article can be saved and someone add more info too. But thats how it is in Zimbabwe. Take a look at our popular artists, Soul Jah love's wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_Jah_Love ... they don't have much coverage like USA artists.— Preceding unsigned comment added by EMT2001 (talk • contribs) 14:19, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete. Ebstar may meet Wikipedia requirements - but proof is required. Of the references listed, most are music/video streaming services. The Wang Ai Newspapers article refers to his new release I Have a Crush on You; perhaps that will generate more publicity, but hasn't succeeded yet.

Searching on "Ebstar" gave tons of false matches, but nothing useful. Searching on "Ebstar Simz" yielded nothing useful (just streaming services, YouTube-like services, and marketing firm Skiomusic.
As to WP:MUSIC, if Ebstar has indeed been on a national music chart, we need proof of its eligibility. Unfortunately, WP:CHARTS doesn't list any such charts for Zimbabwe. The charts listed by @EMT2001 are, as they stated, local music radio charts. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 17:06, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify Well, I think the subject is pretty close to notability and it's reasonable to assume that they might certainly be within notability guidelines in 6 months, when we can check again. However, I also have another reason for this: apparently, there is no national chart for music ranking in Zimbabwe. So what should be done is to see which charts in Zimbabwe are the closest to being the, or are, the most prominent, and judge based on that. Dege31 (talk) 17:30, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is only the second time I have participated in conversation about deletion, so I hope I have this right. I did not create this page, but I have expanded the article to include more coverage about her and to provide details about her background. Nevin has received wide coverage in her role as CEO of the ChristianaCare. I think the WP:THREE are (1) the 2014 Jen Rini The News Journal article, (2) "In The C-Suite: ChristianaCare CEO Dr. Janice Nevin".

The result was keep. This is heavily a discussion as to whether it's a valid split/fork, with principal arguments focusing on aspects such as the degree of duplication, uniqueness (such as chronological order), detail and so on.

In any case, there was a strong consensus for retention.

As numerous individuals had their Keep grounds either wanting, or necessitating, a rename over the current redirect "History of the 20th century", I'll re-name to that. However, it wasn't unanimous, and so if anyone wants to start an actual discussion at Talk:History of the 20th century then that will of course be perfectly valid.

Keep, though a better title is needed – perhaps History of the 20th century which is currently a redirect. The article has enormous potential and the encyclopaedia should have histories by century (and, yes, there should be histories of earlier centuries too).

Keep and move to History of the 20th century. There's plenty of precedent that a "History," "Timeline," and main article can exist for the same subject, for example, Philippines, History of the Philippines, and Timeline of Philippine history. This is a classic case of WP:SPINOFF where the main article (20th century) acts as a "summary style" meta article that has several sub articles that go into greater detail. All these articles serve different functions in the project and so should be kept, although I do support a rename to keep it consistent with the naming convention of similar articles.

Keep renamed to History of the 20th century. This is far from an ideal article, but it provides coverage of the main international events of the period. It is not a timeline, which would normally be a list article. 20th century is a broader article with a focus on other matters than the main political events. This is not a mere POV fork. It probably deserves to be designated as a "main" article for the other two. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:41, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwaiiplayer, Peterkingiron, and No Great Shaker: I am fine with a rename since the current title is far from ideal. I would like to know your thoughts on doing a similar article for every century. Example: History of the 18th century, History of the 19th century, and History of the 21st century. I want to know what you guys think since this seems to be the only century with this type of article. Interstellarity (talk) 16:08, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Interstellarity: I think the creation of those articles would be a positive addition to the encyclopedia. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 03:23, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or rename to Key events of 20th century. Along with "Timeline", this page could be a useful supplement to page History of the 20th century. No renaming to "History of the 20th century" please.

Marco Rosa (footballer)

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

Has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL so does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Sources cited do not demonstrate WP:GNG as they are either stats pages, his club's own website or social media pages. The best source that I can find in searches is Bola VIP (not sure if this is WP:RS) which still contains very little actual information about Rosa. Simply just states that he scored a goal in the UEFA Europa Conference League and was the first player for a Gibraltarian club to do so.

If being the first player for a Gibraltarian club to do x thing is enough for an article then I'm happy to stand down but I've always been under the impression that GNG or an SNG would still need to be met in this sort of case. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 07:22, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This does not appear to pass WP:NSEASONS, which requires multiple independent reliable sources to provide significant coverage to the team for it to be notable. Per that guideline, [i]t is strongly recommended that such articles be redirected to the team page if no sourced prose can be created.

1. Sources such as the referenced NATO website, NSA publications and Books are not business announcements.

2. What part sounds like an advertisement? Despite this Verity Systems company having many products, only two products that have been referenced very directly and clearly are mentioned. How about you remove the bit which you feel sounds like an advertisement, or point it out for removal?

3. Businesses that operate in the security sector are not usually seeking too much public attention. Finding information about such companies is difficult; they do not appear in newspapers, television, radio, or other publicity avenues as much as you would like. There is no contention about the notability of Verity Systems; given its size, popularity of products, and the agencies using its products. I, therefore, feel that the best course of action is that we make this page about the company better by improving it and its referencing, and that Wikipedia does not delete the page LtRisen (talk) 09:54, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Detailed criteria for a promotional tone can vary, but here is my guideline. Each paragraph that mentions something is "global", "around the world", "worldwide", "innovation", or "solutions" should be removed. Those terms provide no information about the subject, only serve to promote it. Then there is not much left. So even if the case might be made that the company is notable, this article is clearly not it. At best, keep onw or two of the most reliable sources and redo all the text.

Delete or Draftify (if notable). I'm not convinced as to its notability; there's some coverage but I'm not sure that it passes WP:CORPDEPTH. On top of that, the article certainly fails WP:PROMO. Taken together, these would make my primary preference to be deletion. However, in the case that there becomes a rough consensus that the topic is notable, I really don't think the article is ready for the mainspace, owing to strong promotional tone concerns. In that case, we should allow time and space for the draft's improvement until its tone is ready for mainspace through draftification; I believe that this article should not remain in the mainspace as-is. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 05:32, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an unnecessary, illogical and unworkable cross-categorisation. See here for deletion precedent and my arguments against this list in that discussion. I don't say this lightly but this is one of the only WP pages that I actually think verges on racist by the placement of national flags against people's names based on their ethnicity (not citizenship/residency). One example: Edward James Olmos is an American (I don't believe he holds any other citizenship), was born in America, has lived in America his whole life and had parents who were residents and/or citizens of America with Mexican heritage. Yet this page puts a Mexican flag next to Olmos' name! Can you imagine something similar being done in a list for an American of European decent?

Strong Keep. This book provides a list of Latin Emmy winners and gives statistics [51]. There has been much public discussion and media attention over systemic racial bias of acting awards. As such, this is a notable cross-categorization which is born out by media articles like these [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57]. I disagree that the content couldn't be sourced, and I further contend that deleting this would contribute to systemic racial bias within wikipedia.4meter4 (talk) 03:34, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Excellent point. As a white person myself, I don't think it would be my place to try to delete an article like this. Bkatcher (talk) 04:23, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - There’s a difference between an article about systemic racial bias in awards as an overall topic and a list that just arbitrarily labels people “latin/hispanic” and expects readers to extract something meaningful from it. Let’s focus on creating better content about this topic rather than clinging to haphazard nonsense like this list.

The problem with using lists to cover systemic bias in awards is that they can’t “see the forest for the trees”— it’s not about individual names or some concrete number or quota, but rather the overall ratio of white nominees/winners/reviewers/etc. to nonwhite ones in awards vs. all artists. Dronebogus (talk) 05:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I actually think the issue is that list is quite racist and reduces living people to their ethnic background based on the whims of editors. See my above comment about Edward James Olmos. It includes Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas for some reason too who, as far as I am aware, are European. I agree that there has been much written about racial bias at the Oscars but why not write about it. A list does not help cover this issue. Vladimir.copic (talk) 08:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That’s ridiculous logic. The media specifically pays attention to Latinx nominations at the Emmys because of racial bias. Tracking Latinx winners and nominees happens in media and publications on entertainment; often by Latinx journalists. Deleting such lists is a form of erasure. There’s lots of sources on this topic and clearly either a competent WP:BEFORE wasn’t done or people are allowing their own prejudice to inform their vote.4meter4 (talk) 10:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The parameters of the list are just too random and are ripe for WP:V issues. In what sense is Edward James Olmos Mexican? In what sense is Penelope Cruz Latinx? What are the limits of Latin American heritage? Should Anthony Bourdain be included as he had a great great etc grandfather who lived in Paraguay? Basically editors are just deciding who is latinx enough to be included. If this was a list of Latin Americans it would be different as this easier to verify. Also this is not erasure as there people should still be listed on the universal nominees/winners page. Vladimir.copic (talk) 10:51, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. Erasure is a term used in psychology, sociology, and interdisciplinary academic fields like African American studies, womens studies, ethnography, queer studies, gender studies, etc. where race or gender or sexuality is removed from the discussion on purpose which prevents the impact of race or gender or sexuality from being examined. This is viewed as a form of white or male or heteronormative dominance (depending on whether its gender or race or sexuality being removed) which is exerted over minorities by removing them from view or preventing their experience and stories from being told from their point of view or by preventing analysis of how race/gender/sexuality can impact institutions and events. The argument you made above is a textbook example of an erasure argument where discussing race and making it a focus is deemed racist. Such views are termed erasure because essentially it shuts down any conversation, discussion, analysis, viewpoints, etc. of how race impacts the lives of people of that race and the way race can impact institutions and societal relationships. In short its viewed as ethically wrong in current academia to put forward that sort of argument. Lastly, the solution to your problem is to simply limit the list to subjects who have self identified as Latinx or Hispanic and have won or been nominated for an Emmy. If we don't have RS saying they are Latinx or Hispanic then we don't include them. Entries without refs proving that can simply be removed. 4meter4 (talk) 19:19, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- - That’s all well and good but surely there’s a better way to discuss the intersection of Latinx issues, racism, and the Emmys than a big list that just says “such-and-such won award so-and-so whenever and also he was of Cuban ancestry”.

Do not Delete This article needs to be better written, along with a bit more background information on Sheriff's position compared to Madrid and its run throughout the Champions League qualifiers, but I believe calling this result 'impressive' is an understatement and it deserves a decently written Wikipedia page on it. There are plenty of other upsets in football and in other sports which don't have a Wikipedia page but there are not many to this degree. I appreciate the knowledge that these regular Wikipedia users have on the guides and policies of Wikipedia, but calling this match a 'normal group stage match without any significance' perhaps shows that the football knowledge of these users may be lacking. The fact that this match even occurred in the first place is highly significant alone, forget about the result. WorldatmyFeet (talk) 03:04, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@WorldatmyFeet: Hello. Please remember that this a Wikipedia deletion discussion and that articles are nominated for deletion for other reasons than because users "lack" football knowledge.

Delete It was a big shock yes. But we don't do articles for every single shock, I think this is a little too RECENT for now but I am open to recreation if lasting notability comes out later. Though I do have concerns too there may be a little POV creeping in too by the line of: "heavily noted in media coverage of the match was the origin of FC Sheriff, the first team to qualify to the Champions League from Moldova, and the unrecognized state of Transnistria within Moldova at that." The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 05:43, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This appears to clearly fail WP:SPORTSEVENT. The relevant criteria states that notable games should be widely considered by independent reliable sources to be notable, outside routine coverage of each game. The article fails that. From an ordinary WP:EVENTCRIT perspective, this does not appear to have enduring historical significance, nor a significant lasting WP:EFFECT. This article may have been made WP:TOOSOON. It's quite possible for coverage to continue for a good period of time, for this to be re-analyzed after the fact, and for it to then gain notability through lasting coverage. However, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball; if the article subject is not currently notable, then it should be deleted. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 05:53, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would move to draftspace, and re-evaluate in six months. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:24, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify per Joseph - sounds like a good shout -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:33, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. I suggested deletion at the WT:FOOTY discussion because of WP:RECENTISM but I'm inclined to agree with Joseph that deletion might be too hasty. The match could potentially become "legendary", as media pundits might say, and be a subject of football coverage and discussion for years to come. No Great Shaker (talk) 08:36, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, as Stevie fae Scotland pointed out at WT:FOOTY, the title of the article should be Real Madrid CF 1–2 FC Sheriff Tiraspol. No Great Shaker (talk) 09:14, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/rename/redirect to new article at FC Sheriff Tiraspol in European football - that is an established article type and probably the best place for this match to be mentioned, rather than a standalone article. I share concerns about RECENTism and we won't know long-lasting notability for a while. Giant Snowman 09:26, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to draftspace - Agree with concerns re- WP:RECENTISM and WP:SPORTSEVENT. Deletion would be valid but I think it would make more sense to put the article on hold to see if significant, prolonged coverage does result from the match. Although, I agree with GS as well, moving to a new article covering Sheriff's history in European football would also be an appropriate solution. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 09:44, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as RECENTism. Moving to draftspace would be an acceptable interim solution. --Leyo 10:10, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. I would be surprised if this does end up to have long term notability, but it's not implausible. As such, draftifying the article to see what happens, thus allowing us to easily recover the content if it does turn out to have long term notability, seems to be the best option.

Delete by recentism, but it is not encyclopedic either a media result since the round of 16...--Dantetheperuvian (talk) 15:21, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - While this match will undoubtedly be remembered fondly for all time by those associated with FC Sheriff, it's too soon to know how it will be remembered in general. There have been plenty of giant-killings in the Champions League that haven't had widespread coverage in the media, so how about we wait and see how this one goes? – Pee Jay 17:06, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Having an article for every unexpected scoreline in football would be nonsensical. Yes, this was bigger than most, but it still doesn't pass SPORTSEVENT. Black Kite (talk) 17:49, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Yes, a big upset but it was a group stage match and not more. Kante4 (talk) 17:55, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm sure this thrills some fans, but it's a small (obviously one-time) event. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 21:32, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify*. Let's wait and see if this has got any documentation (apart from standard match reports) in six months time. BMB YT 500000 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:06, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. --BlameRuiner (talk) 15:43, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. Same arguments as the ones above - first it needs a better styling, and second, it's too early to say whether this result is significant enough to be remembered with an article. --shika99bul (talk) 12:09, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Do not delete or Redirect. Please do not delete this article but this article did not meets notability and need a redirection in 2021–22_UEFA_Champions_League_group_stage#Group_D. Manchesterunited1234 (talk) 17:59, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
