RS like the CIA World Factbook state that there are no military forces in Iceland. Lot of related discussion in talk page too. World Factbook states that forces like the ICRU are civilian manned too.

Keep While Iceland might not have a military in the classic sense, they clearly have a defense system in place that's very nicely detailed here. If the name is a technical misnomer, there ought to be a discussion on what the article ought to be titled rather than a deletion proposal. --Killuminator (talk) 03:09, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Geostub made by Spokane Ball yt who was blocked for creating similarly poorly-sourced stubs. This one fails WP:GEOLAND which requires populated places to either be legally recognized or have sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Please don't just add a GEONAMES entry as a ref; community consensus has consistently been against using such databases to establish legal recognition or GNG. –dlthewave 22:24, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I cannot seem to find anything on it. I don't think it is a actual city or town but more like a unofficial areas or community. Perhaps if someone can come along and provide some sources for it then I might change my mind but this article adds nothing to Wikipedia. Super (talk) 05:56, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There may be some sort of transliteration issue here as Dzhambaskala almost certainly refers to the easily verifable town?/fortress of Jambasqala, but I can't verify it as a result. SportingFlyer T·C 00:19, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The name of this place is the Russian for "named after Maxim Gorky", so I would think that it would be more likely that if it was referred to in English it would simply be as "Maxim Gorky". Of course searching for that gets loads of sources for the writer, which overwhelm any that might exist for this town/village. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:40, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I don't think we can assume a notability pass here. The original referencing was largely/entirely falsified, and we haven't turned up anything better, we would need to hurdle the WP:V bar before we can assume automatic notability.

Agbau, Democratic Republic of the Congo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is sourced only to the GEONAMES database which is insufficient to establish either GNG or legal recognition as required by WP:GEOLAND. "Keep" !voters in the recent AfD failed to demonstrate that the article meets either of these WP:GEOLAND criteria; "GEOnet Names Server is back up, and confirms that this is a populated place." and "Appears to be an actual, legally recognized community, thus meeting GEOLAND" (asserting that the US Geonames database somehow confers legal recognition for a place in the Congo) are misinterpretations of WP:GEOLAND that should have been thrown out, and one of the two "comments" makes the same error. The guideline has never stated that all settlements are notable or that simply demonstrating the existence of a place is sufficient. –dlthewave 22:16, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable politician who contested the Lok Sabha election from UP but faced defeat. The sources are almost exclusively routine announcements of her appointment as a spokesperson to INC. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 12:03, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete Doesn't meet notability criteria for politicians WP:POLITICIAN. (talk) 09:22, 7 November 2021 (UTC) Tnawang (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Vinodtiwari2608 (talk · contribs). [reply]

  • Keep with a short political career, she might not be a notable politician yet, but she is a notable journalist. She has worked for 18 years as a journalist in the print and electronic media. Being a media person she has been covered in 2014.[1] In 2001, she began her career with India Today as a Special Correspondent. In 2004, she joined NDTV as an Assistant Editor. In 2008, she joined ET Now as Chief Editor - News. She was named Policy Editor and Executive Editor for ET Now the same year.[2] These are major news Channels in India and she was holding Chief Editor / Executive editor post which is a very senior post. Because of her being a notable journalist, there has been significant coverage of the subject.[3][4][5] In 2019, she resigned from her post as a Senior Anchor in ET Now to contest 2019 Indian general election. She was covered again when she became the spokesperson.[6][7] She has been in news several times in recent years.[8][9][10] The article had been lacking info on her Journalism career, I have added it now, so the article should now be kept per WP:HEYMANN.Venkat TL (talk) 07:06, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Just adding more food for thought on this discussion: If we have to evaluate her notability as journalist, we need to check if her work as a journalist was discussed by other media houses. Simply holding editor positions won't grant defacto notability. I was tempted to say that her entry into politics could be WP:1E specifically because she didn't win. But then there is also coverage on her becoming spokesperson. Some may see the two as single event (first part leading to other) and might still consider WP:1E. So truly this is a very tricky situation. We surely need more informed inputs on this discussion. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 15:22, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Nomadicghumakkad as I understand, editors of notable newspapers are considered notable. She has held the Executive editor of a major news channel of India post for more than a decade. Easily qualifies due to her high post. There are so many Wikipedia articles of news anchors in India and abroad. Venkat TL (talk) 17:28, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - there does not appear to be sufficient support for WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, WP:NPOL, or WP:JOURNALIST, because there does not appear to be much WP:SECONDARY coverage of her career. The article is WP:REFBOMBED with announcements of her appointment as AICC spokesperson in 2019: 1, 2 ANI, 3 PTI, 4 ANI, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 PTI, which are all brief, some with basic biographical information about her career, education and family. Per fn 3 in WP:GNG, It is common for multiple newspapers or journals to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works, so at best, this is one source with limited support for notability due to the lack of depth and secondary context or commentary. There is also the March 2019 annoucement of her political candidacy: 1, 2, 3, 4 ANI, 5, 6, that also does not offer in-depth coverage. There are several sources that report on her work as a spokesperson: The Wire, March 2021, gave an interview about the party's position; The Print, May 2021, went viral on social media after a debate; India TV, July 2021, represents party's position on rising petrol prices; PTC News, September 2021, criticised a politician; Jansatta, October 2021, told a news anchor to not interrupt her during a debate. Reports of her doing her job as a spokesperson in debates, interviews, or quotes to the media also lack secondary context or commentary about her. Her past and current career can be verified, but there does not appear to be much more than a brief CV and some family political history, so it seems WP:TOOSOON for an article. Beccaynr (talk) 03:34, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps, it is because of such WP:Systemic biased comparisons [Internet Bias, culture bias etc, (some countries still dont put everything on internet)] we in Wikipedia end up in a ridiculously awkward situation where Category:CNN people (an American channel) has 555 Biographies while India, a country with 5 times the population of USA, has its prime channel Category:India Today people with only 5 Biographies and one is being deleted on this AfD. Every anchor, editor of US TV channels can have article on Wikipedia, but an Indian Executive Editor + news anchor with 18 years in Media cannot have an article on Wikipedia. Venkat TL (talk) 10:16, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think systemic bias is relevant because as a tertiary source, Wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability and we do not lead, we follow. I think this means that our core policies and guidelines, including the usual reliance on reliable secondary sources, will replicate a systemic bias that excludes marginalized topics from the significant coverage needed to support a standalone article. The Organizations and Companies SNG directly accounts for systemic bias in the multiple sources section, but I have not seen this elsewhere, although fn 2 in WP:GNG states, In the absence of multiple sources, it must be possible to verify that the source reflects a neutral point of view, is credible and provides sufficient detail for a comprehensive article. However, I do not think a source of this quality is available here. In the People SNG, the WP:BASIC criteria states If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability, and from my view, I have !voted to delete because the sources, even when combined, do not appear to provide sufficient detail and depth about Shrinate for a comprehensive article. Also, the politicians/political figures and journalists criteria seem designed to exclude routine news reporting as support for notability, and a related challenge is the many sources that appear to be promotional announcements instead of independent reports. But I want to emphasize the WP:TOOSOON part of my !vote, because better sources may exist in the future. Beccaynr (talk) 16:01, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Did you read my keep vote above? Please do. Why do you keep harping about the political notability when it is not even in dispute. Blindly applying certain standards on all diverse cultures has led to this ridiculously lopsided (500x) coverage of topics in Third world countries vs US/UK. And you are aggravating the problem. Venkat TL (talk) 16:25, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I discuss WP:NPOL because most sources focus on her political work, and I think this work may support an article in the future. I also think a systemic lack of significant coverage can contribute to an appearance of systemic bias on Wikipedia, but as applied to this article, it does not seem to justify ignoring the core principles of the notability guidelines. Beccaynr (talk) 20:41, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I am certain, her political notability will increase in the coming years to pass the threshold for article, but that should not be an excuse to ignore the journalistic notability.
    Beccaynr, @George Ho it is not in dispute that certain cultures put every trivial thing on the internet and then those stuff are added on wikipedia citing GNG. The problem begins when folks import same standards to other cultures and start deleting articles on people who would otherwise be considered notable and have an article, but since they are in third world countries, with a difference in the amount of internet coverage, they cannot have an article. The subject if she would have been in US or UK tv channels for 18 years, there would have been no way this article could be deleted, simply because there would be tons of coverage. Now I am not saying our notability criteria are useless, just saying that they need not be blindly applied everywhere as an excuse to reduce the coverage of third world countries. Venkat TL (talk) 08:02, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - No comment on the Indian journalist's notability and the sources. However, I see that the guideline has been cited to keep or delete. If a guideline like WP:N or WP:NBIO doesn't work, why not use policy WP:V#Notability instead? If the sources used are reliable and independent, or if such sources still exist, then she's sufficiently notable. Right? I really hope this article survives the perceived "systemic bias", but... I just don't know. To me, the article looks like a resume in prose. George Ho (talk) 21:39, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I do think it might be valuable to consider how journalists from other countries are evaluated for notability, just to see if we're actually engaging in systemic bias. Taking the example of CNN, consider bios like Becky Anderson - sources consist of one interview with the subject, an archived profile from a University website, and one article mentioning a video uploaded by the subject that attracted controversy. Applying the standard suggested by Beccaynr this certainly fails notability, yet examples abound from the same list of similar thinly sourced bios that are not up for deletion. Either we apply the same standard, that "multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" or we admit clearly that different rules of notability are being applied to American and Indian journalists. See, e.g. Paula Hancocks (only source is CNN bio); Asieh Namdar (one news article, one official bio, two random archived links); Shanon Cook (three sources: a bio, a BabyBumps magazine article, and a spotify playlist). I agree that being the editor of a major news channel for over 10 years is in itself notable, but perhaps it might be valuable to demonstrate that notability by indicating what ET now did during her tenure - notable stories covered either by Shrinate or the channel under her management, any editorial controversies that she intervened etc. If the purpose is to demonstrate her credentials in journalism, then that is certainly one reasonable option. -- Naushervan (talk) 07:25, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Plenty of articles exist that probably should not, and it may only be a matter of time before articles without sufficient support for notability are listed for deletion. If there is independent and reliable coverage about Shrinate per WP:JOURNALIST, WP:NPOL, WP:BASIC, or WP:GNG, I would change my !vote, and I have suggested ways to interpret the guidelines that I think could help address concerns about systemic bias. Beccaynr (talk) 16:15, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Beccaynr, either you did not understand my point, or you are acting naive, since you already voted once. Do you really believe these Indian journalists are not notable or fit for wikipedia? You continue to claim that you will compare coverage of Journalists, of 2 very diverse cultures, and both culture need to pass the higher bar. And if the third world culture doesn't pass? Yikes, too bad, but dont blame Beccaynr, blame the third world culture for not putting everything on the internet. That's exactly how you reach a situation with 555 CNN bios and _5_ 4 India Today Bios. Venkat TL (talk) 19:28, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Venkat TL, that is not what I am saying, and I would appreciate it if you would not direct these types of personalized comments towards me in a discussion that is otherwise focused on the content, the guidelines and the policies. I have agreed with you about the existence of systemic bias, how I believe systemic bias is reflected in Wikipedia due to the core policies and guidelines, and I have suggested specific ways to apply the guidelines to help mitigate the impact of systemic bias, because this tends to be the focus of my work at AfD and editing generally. And for whatever it may be worth, I have previously tried to raise systemic bias at AfD, without success. Beccaynr (talk) 20:38, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tokio, Washington (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I skipped this one initially due to the population claim, but the slightest glance at topos and aerials shows that there is no way that 1,775 people lived in a place where there is a truck stop over by the highway and, yes, a grain elevator by the tracks at the point indicated by GNIS. For comparison, Ritzville, Washington is what a place with that many people actually looks like on the ground. Which is funny, actually, because if you read the start of this heartwarming article, you can see that the byline is "RITZVILLE, Adams County", which by an extraordinary coincidence had, in 1990, a population of 1,725. And furthermore, it turns out that the fire which burned into the 4,500 acre farm and which consumed some 20,000 acres in all "began beside the railroad tracks near Tokio." And that's the only reference to Tokio in the article. I've complained along the way about several examples where the cited sources were significantly misread, but this is on a whole 'nother level of failure. Further searching is clogged to a large degree by the capital of Japan, but what I found was of questionable reliability. It does show up in ghosttowns.com, but what it says about buildings destroyed by the fire doesn't fit all that well with the aerials: there wasn't a cluster of buildings here, only a single structure attached to the oldest grain elevator, the latter still there. There apparently was a school, as there is a picture showing the usual isolated couple of buildings at an undetermined location. Another wiki has an entry repeating the ghosttowns.com info and adding the unsourced claim that it had a peak population of 550, which is not terribly plausible: it's a third the population of Ritzville and would have to have occupied a correspondingly large area. I'm not convinced there's enough to separate this minimal settlement/commercial center/shipping point out from the larger Ritzville area. Everything else in the article is about the truck stop, which is of purely regional interest. Mangoe (talk) 19:56, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep A community center and a church coupled with a sizable population makes me lean towards a keep. Simply being a majority mobile home doesn't make it any less of a village or community.

    The village is by name only here - a misnomer to market the land. There are no records within GNIS where some form of categorization is made on being a populated place.

All bold in this quote is in the source. Objectively, this nomination does not look uncontroversial at all so the subject should not have been prodded in the first place. Next it was nominated. Per referencing above, it should not be deleted either. Please use the correct procedures to nominate articles, everyone, and please think twice.

  • Keep - please keep. This page is a very important resource for retrogamers, as I think it's now the only existing updated list of games with EAX support still existing on the Internet. As for the sources, they are at the references at the bottom. EAX was a very large part of gaming in the 90s. No more games are being made with EAX support, so this is not a list that will grow. Middleware like this is also not "common". It's like 3DFX Glide. It's was a very special technology at its heyday and is part of computing history. To the nominator, have you ever experienced EAX? It was quite something in its day, like Aureal A3D (something I have not seen matched to this day with its audio raytracing). These games sold Soundblaster soundcards, and these soundcards sold these games too. EAX was a defining feature of games such as Diablo II (not the remake) and early games based on the Unreal Engine, such as Unreal and Unreal Tournament - as well as Quake 4, which was one of the first games with EAX 5. EAX was a literal gamechanger and literally changed 90s gaming. -Object404 (talk) 03:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am sympathetic to the preservationist aspect of this topic but Wikipedia is not free webhosting. I'm sure there's a community somewhere that would be a better host for this information that is more targeted at its intended audience. And Deletionpedia exists, of course, as a last resort. As for the references, you're a longtime contributor here. You should know that in-line citations are required for this kind of thing. A handful of citations at the top to cover an entire table with hundreds of entries is onerous to verify and anyone could add a fraudulent entry somewhere in the middle without being noticed for months or years. And that's to say nothing about the reliability of those sources, which seem to be user-submitted (or dead linked). Axem Titanium (talk) 16:43, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"I'm sure there's a community somewhere that would be a better host for this information that is more targeted at its intended audience." -> No, there isn't. The creative forums where a lot of this info used to be hosted are dead and aren't on archive.org. People aren't making copies of this list precisely because it already exists in a handy place, so there wasn't a need to create one. Since you guys seem to be leaning towards deletion, what's the best way to preserve all of this data verbatim? I'd like to back it up before it becomes deleted. Please wait for my backup confirmation before deletion. Thanks. -Object404 (talk) 22:13, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, it'll be preserved on Deletionpedia regardless. It looks like a standard wikitable with no special formatting or templates so the code will just work out of the box on anything that uses MediaWiki software.

  • Delete The coverage I found was all practically the same and looking at the article's edit history I see it was subject to lots of unsourced content about their music career which isn't notable. I vote it gets deleted for now but if someone wants to keep it they can draftify it and add to it until it's ready for mainspace. FanDePopLatino (talk) 03:57, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete They only notability is the fact that their looking Korean and their non-binary gender preference. They was not well-known until coming out of as Korean and non-binary, and their music career is not well-known too. From my opinion, they does not warrant an article.

  • Keep London has more than half a million followers across social medias. Their music career is not particularly notable, however with a debut album being released on December 1, music videos by Oli have received millions of views. However, the most notable of London is their body transition, which has received a huge amount of publicity and media attention where most news websites released an article about London in the past few months. Oli London is quite a well known figure now, whereas there are much less well-known people with a Wikipedia page. DRYT.Motorsport 13:00, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just because someone has half a million followers in their social media platform does not mean that he/she/they would warrant a notability for a Wikipedia article. Oli is only well-known for their body transition. Their music career was unheard of until the news of their body transition and attempt to look like Jimin. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a celebrity gossip site. Toadboy123 (talk) 22:11, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, but I’m not trying to say that because Oli has followers they are worthy of a page. London caused a huge amount of media attention and controversy this year, making their name a common site in news articles. This isn’t like making a page about your friend, this person is a notable person. DRYT.Motorsport 10:23, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There is WP:SIGCOV such as this in Sky News and this in Insider. Whether someone has had "achievements" or not is irrelevant, the coverage is there. Draftifying an article with 25,000 pageviews over the last month does not improve the encyclopedia and will discourage people from improving it. Evidently this content is of interest to our readers.

  • Keep; clearly meets WP:SIGCOV , and while yes, some sources do say similar things, they clearly aren't copying off each other, so I don't think we need to worry about that. I noticed that some others here have brought up the fact that the article is too focused on "personal details," but it this case, it is precisely the personal details that are of interest to many of the cited sources. Oli London's statements of gender and racial identity are of particular public interest when it comes to political and philosophical questions generated by the controversy over their public statements (An example of this is briefly quoted in the footnotes). As such, I personally would not remove or "trim down" that aspect of the article. Yitz (talk) 21:26, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is hardly any information that can help their article be expanded, as much of is it only regarding the subject's obsession in trying to look like Jimin. Their music career is not that popular and is very poorly received among general audience. Just because a subject has a lot of coverage does not mean it would automatically merit a creation of an article for him/her/they. I don't think Wikipedia should deserve to have an article of someone who is only famous for changing their race by having multiple plastic surgeries and engaging in obsessive/toxic fan behaviour.

  • Comment, there is nothing in WP:MUSIC that specifically relates to record labels. I am presuming that Chubbles is inferring to the comment in the guidelines relating to artists having released two or more albums on an important indie label (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). This does not state that this is the criteria for a record label to be considered notable. The key requirement is whether the record label satisfies the criteria under WP:COMPANY - firstly "no company or organization is considered inherently notable" and secondly "A company is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it." The criteria which apply are no different from those under WP:GNG, in that it needs to be demonstrated that there is significant coverage (about the company or record label in this case) in multiple independent secondary sources. The only reference provided doesn't even mention GP Records but rather relates to the acquisition of EMI Recorded Music by the Universal Music Group. The article states the label was formed as a business opportunity resulting from this transaction but provides no proof - clearly original research. Unfortunately a search of GP Records only provides results relating to medical records, however if you add Indonesia to your search apart from the label's website the rest are hits on social media websites (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Spotify etc) none of which are considered reliable secondary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 09:37, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Apart from primary sources there is no evidence that the majority of the artists listed on the label's rooster are actually signed to GP Records. Dan arndt (talk) 09:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Technically, I guess WP:NMUSIC does indeed define a "more important indie label" as "an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable". Geschichte (talk) 14:09, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Geschichte then if that is the case there needs to be reliable independent secondary sources that prove that. I've searched and can't find any. As it stands it is all original research. Dan arndt (talk) 23:42, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It may very well have described what it means by a "more important indie label" but only in the context of defining the criteria for notability for musicians and ensembles. It certainly wasn't intended to act as the entire criteria by which labels are evaluated for notability. Since it is a commercial organization, that falls to WP:NCORP.

  • Delete - Not notable . I can't find reliable sources through Google search for it. Mommmyy (talk) 21:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Article relies entirely on primary sourcing. WP:NCORP requires 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. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. I have been unable to find any references that meet NCORP criteria, topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 12:23, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also if you see publications, they're in notable scientific journals, where they're peer-reviewed by scientists, not by the average Joe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2149:8AC0:100:2C93:8FBA:D31C:D084 (talk) 06:54, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Loew Galitz: "Spatial" and "complexity" are common words; the fact that they have occasionally appeared together does not prove "spatial complexity" is a notable, coherent concept, and a book written does not imply notability (see WP:GNG; we need significant independent secondary coverage). Given the content of the article now, it looks like it is just a phrase that is used in different ways by different people, which would make it not an appropriate article topic (specific metrics could get their own articles). If you think that's wrong, it would be much more helpful for you to explain the coherent concept that spatial complexity represents, rather than to just criticize the nomination. Danstronger (talk) 12:52, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • explain the coherent... -- RTFM. "In mathematics, spatial complexity is defined [1] as the complexity of a spatial entity". ... "spatial complexity can be measured by two metrics: one based on run-length encoding and another on edit distance".

  • Delete. This is someone throwing buzzwords together with no depth, backed up by an impressive list of references almost none of which are actually on the subject, to the extent that we can even discern what the subject is. The only real source (the Fivos P. book) has only one preprint citation in Google Scholar, so we are totally lacking the in-depth reliable coverage of his work that would make this pass WP:GNG, even if it were reframed as an article about the book rather than an article about its fuzzy theories. There may be something real to write about measures of complexity of spatial structures, but nothing in this article contributes towards that, so beyond the failure of WP:GNG, WP:TNT also applies. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:33, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete "Spatial complexity" can mean a million different things, but they are largely unrelated to each other. This is not a case of one concept used in many fields, but one phrase (note WP:NOTDICT) used in many fields to mean different things, and for different purposes. The meanings discussed in the article and the Papadimitriou book are unrelated to the meanings used in almost all of the references. There is no underlying coherent concept here that is a suitable topic for an encyclopedia article. Perhaps a disambiguation page would be appropriate if multiple of the meanings of the phrase were notable, but that does not appear to be the case at this time. Danstronger (talk) 17:59, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

      • But when you measure the same distance in different ways, you get the same answer. This is what it means to be measuring the same thing in numerous ways.

Typically, the person replies to almost every "!vote" or comment, arguing against that particular person's point of view. ... They always have to have the last word ....

There are AfD discussions way longer than this one and people discuss each other's challenged calmly without calling each other dick. Loew Galitz (talk) 19:45, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Another example of the bag-of-words problem: a couple ordinary words get smushed together to make a technical term, leading to countless false positives and the conflation of separate topics (i.e., WP:SYNTH). For example, the introduction says that spatial complexity is "eventually algorithmic", and the definition in the text (sourced to the 2020 book) insists that it is defined using either run-length encoding or edit distance. The very next reference uses none of these ideas, instead employing ideas from algebraic graph theory like the spectral radius. Ditto the next reference after that: once again, no algorithmic information, run-length encoding, or anything of the sort. It's all WP:REFBOMB-ing unrelated publications that happened to say "hey, this pattern looks complicated". There's no coherent subject here, no care put into the choice of references, and no text worth preserving. And I need to spare a moment for that opening sentence: "spatial complexity is defined as the complexity of a spatial entity" — so, spatial complexity is defined as the spatial complexity. Such spatial, very complex. XOR'easter (talk) 18:27, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • "spatial complexity is defined as the complexity of a spatial entity" - nothing wrong with this definition, and no, spatial complexity is not defined as the spatial complexity. Loew Galitz (talk) 22:29, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • The "definition" is completely empty. It imparts no information to the reader. The different sources thrown into the page all define "complexity" in different ways, when they bother to give it even a semi-quantitative definition at all. This page offers nothing but an illusion of coherence. XOR'easter (talk) 00:25, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • I already agreed the article sucks. I was going to fix it quickly, but decided it is easier to change my vote :-) By the way there is nothing wrong with apparently "empty" definition, as long as it is subsequently elaborated. Take for example "Computational complexity": "the computational complexity or simply complexity of an algorithm is the amount of resources required to run it." I say it is just as empty as it can be, if taken in isolation. (What resources? electricity? sheets of paper? beer? ... ) Continuing to read the lede will not make you wiser. Some statements are gibberish or even false in general. Loew Galitz (talk) 01:15, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spain–Tuvalu relations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG. There is really not much to these relations except the historical fact that the islands were "discovered" by a Spaniard, this fact is covered in Tuvalu#Early_contacts_with_other_cultures. Even the article states: " bilateral relations both politically and commercially between the two countries are scarce, mainly framed within the framework of EU cooperation" LibStar (talk) 00:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. There are many articles created every day and not every single one is put through a deletion discussion straight away even if there are notability concerns. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 20:05, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG, no coverage I could find and their website doesn't appear to have been updated in many, many years, so no help there either. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 00:09, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, not sure why my search didn't turn up those. Looks like the two foreign-language sources are are reporting on the same list of "potential first PCs" and the other source is an interview that describes the "Archeological Institute" as a blog. Still not great IMO. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 03:39, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
