Could have been a redirect to the parent company but non-notable on their own. Doesn't meet WP:NCORP. Created by a potential WP:SPA. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 16:49, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Apart from Citroen is part of the Stellantis Group, I cannot identify any information in that article worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Every single sentence in it is attributed to company insiders and is full of buzzwords that mean nothing. I suggest a re-read of NCORP if you consider that to meet it.

The current article cites AwardsWatch and Next Best Picture, which cover film awards indiscriminately and therefore do not appear to constitute significant coverage (see also this discussion). No other secondary coverage from reliable sources (Variety, THR, etc.) has been found. RunningTiger123 (talk) 16:12, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just going to leave a comment as article creator, as I don't think the nom comment gives the full picture (obviously?).
    I made this as a stub after the subject (awards) had been mentioned/included on lots of film, actor, and list of award articles - that is, the general advice is to not include awards in lists if they do not have a Wikipedia article unless there is good third party coverage, and the forming consensus seemed to be that these awards do have the right level of notability even without an article. As the third edition then had an actual presentation, not just online, I thought the article was a reasonable creation.
    The nom mentions AwardsWatch and NBP by saying they give indiscriminate coverage, which isn't exactly true, but besides, I don't think they say things along the line of "these awards have been minor but will prove more influential on the season" about everything. The specific coverage should be considered.
    This treads towards OTHERSTUFF but, seriously, have you seen the number of minor Indian film award articles that are just unsourced lists? This article doesn't pretend to be more than it is, that shouldn't be a reason to delete coverage of legitimate awards before cleaning up the articles on every production company in Bollywood giving themselves meaningless awards. Imho. Kingsif (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the award was included in lots of lists because inexperienced editors just copy all of the awards from IMDb (which is an indiscriminate and unreliable source) and make a list, not because the awards are deemed to be significant. The same thing happens with awards from, for example, Gold Derby; even though those awards are not considered notable (see this 2020 AfD), they are often added to awards lists by editors. And the note that these specific awards will "make an even deeper impact" is copied straight from the organization's website – in fact, that entire paragraph in the NBP article is copied from the org's website – so I don't think that's reasonable analysis of the organization. If anything, it casts further doubt on the ability of NBP to provide secondary coverage. Regarding the unsourced Indian film awards, I'm sure there are issues there, and I would be more than happy to move for their deletion if there are similar issues, but those aren't relevant to this discussion, in my opinion.

  • Comment NACTORS doesn't apply to a subject's overall career. Whether they're 'minor' or major, they pass. Nate (chatter) 20:18, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:NACTOR says "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or
    Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. (Previously #3)"
    None of her roles are particularly significant or I doubt she had made several unique, prolific, or innovative contributions to the entertainment fields. So she fails both points of WP:NACTOR. Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 23:13, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article has limited notability for inclusion on Wikipedia - level crossings do not normally warrant their own articles. Perhaps the article could be renamed/merged/moved to refer to the surrounding area instead, as suggested in the lead paragraph...

Other comments welcome as I know the notability (or lack of) has been discussed before. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 14:40, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. While I completely understand the rationale for the nomination (and certainly railway crossings wouldn't normally warrant their own article), the subject here is a little more than "just" a level crossing. In terms of WP:SIGCOV, granted most of the coverage relates to the "notorious" nature of the bottleneck (and plans to address that), but there is a chunk of coverage which deals with the subject as a titular/primary topic. (Irish Times: [6][7][8]. Irish Independent: [9][10]. Etc). In terms of WP:GEOFEAT, while not a protected structure or similar, the subject likely taps the "historic, social importance" criteria. In that it is described in several sources as marking the "boundary of the city of Dublin" and "symbolic entry point to the inner city" (EG: [11][12]). To the extent that visiting or returning notables were often greeted at these gates. Like papal legate Cardinal Lorenzo Lauri in 1932. Or the reception held here for Éamon de Valera on his return to Ireland in 1919. If there is consensus for a merge, then I'm not sure what target to suggest. Perhaps the Merrion railway station article. Which is immediately nearby. However, IMO and while stations are perhaps more conventionally afforded their own articles, the junction has been the subject of way more coverage than the station....) Guliolopez (talk) 15:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I find Guliolopez's argument persuasive. CT55555 (talk) 16:56, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Guliolopez:, @CT55555: - if Merrion railway station is nearby, perhaps that may be a suitable place to merge? Clearly it seems to be a level crossing with information about it - but I don't think the level crossing is necessarily notable enough in its own right. Would you be in favour of merging it with Merrion? Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 18:34, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just used the rater tool, which rated this as a C-class article. Why would you want to merge it, why not just leave it as it is? Or improve it? CT55555 (talk) 21:03, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the speedy tag because there is a claim that new information has come up from the original deletion over four years ago. It still looks to me like there could be a WP:COI and the subject may not meet WP:GNG or another notability guideline. I'm unconvinced that the sources are independent and enough to meet the notability standards. I believe the article should be deleted but let's have a discussion first. Paul McDonald (talk) 13:59, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Chalk19 and Paul McDonald I removed reference to my book (this was added only to provide additional reference, makes no difference to me - you may have seen that now it is an open access eBook on Academia). Also, I personally asked the manufacturer (through the e-mail in its website) to provide written permission for the images, as demanded by an editor. Was this that lead to the claim of "suspected connection"? You may as well delete the article, if you still believe so. Of course, I will repeat that this approach could lead to the deletion of a big part of Wikipedia. Regarding similar makers, random examples are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganzavia_GAK-22_Dino (a single ultralight aircraft made) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_EDA_100_Flamingo (incomplete development of an ultralight aircraft). I will not argue further, and respect any decision. Skartsis (talk) 07:36, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep I just added six new RS, including one from a reliable Spanish aviation magazine, one from HuffPo.gr, and another from newsbomb.gr. Now the citations are 10. Ten citations are a lot of citations. What's more, the coverage is persistent and spans from 2011 up to 2022, indicating lasting notability. This company has created a stealth kit aeroplane which is quite popular and notable. One of its founders is a retired policeman with no aviation experience. I will try to expand the article whenever I get some time. This is a very interesting and notable company. I will close by noting that Mr. Skartsis has no COI. His book is freely available online. He doesn't stand to profit from this endeavour. In fact, Mr. Skartsis has resuscitated the knowledge base of the old industrial base of Greece by creating articles on en.wiki. His multitude of Greek automobile and industrial articles on en.wiki is a testament to his extensive knowledge, experience, and dedication. I know that, due to cultural bias, Greek manufacturers are not particularly known in North America. I am pleased that, at least, the article was not CSD'ed. That would be too much cultural bias. Dr. K. 22:23, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dr.K. At least many of the new references added are not from relable sources (ellines.com, ipop.gr, newsbomb.gr). The coverage on the subject looks like just a reproduction of the point of view of the company, based on YT viedos, company statements etc. For example, presenting this aircraft as the "Greek Stealth bomber fighter" (huffingtonpost.gr), is just ridiculous in my opinion. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 09:09, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. I think all 11 sources are reliable. In particular, non-trivial coverage in the Macedonia newspaper, Flyer magazine, Flying magazine, iefimerida.gr, etc., is indicative of the notability of the subject. HuffPo, newsbeast are also very reliable,. despite your objections. Same goes for the Spanish aviation magazine etc. Even if we subtract the sources you think are unreliable, there are more than enough remaining sources to establish the notability of this article, a fact you seem to de facto recognise, since you didn't say all the sources are unreliable. In any case, I get your POV, I think it is faulty, and I do not wish to continue arguing with you, especially since you seem eager to cause this notable article to be deleted using faulty arguments. You put this article for speedy deletion without doing any due diligence. If you had done so you would have discovered the reliable sources that myself and Mr. Skartsis found and you would not have put this article up for speedy deletion. Thankfully, you were overruled by an admin, Paul McDonald, and there is now a good chance that the article will be saved. Since you have a userbox at your userpage that you participate in AfD discussions, I advise you in future to be more careful when you tag articles for CSD. Also thankfully, we live in a wiki. Other knowledgeable users will undoubtedly chime in, so we don't need to continue this back and forth between us. Finally, you do not need to ping me. First, I find pinging annoying. Second, I have the page watchlisted and, if I wish, I respond. Dr. K. 09:50, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, I don't understand why a simple article about an existing, legitimate company with so many references to it, has caused so heated arguments regarding its deletion. It is my turn to wonder why. At some point it even looked like not being familiar with all aspects of Wikepedia, which has tons of articles about individual vehicles or aircraft (even if a single copy was built) - fully corresponding to its spirit and mission. The entire, or most of the Category "Ultralight Aircraft", as well as many other entire Categories, should be deleted according to some of the arguments I read.Skartsis (talk) 10:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr.K. Flyer magazine [13] follows the same pattern as the sources I mentioned: just a reproduction of the company claims based on (a promotional ?) video ("The single-seater, again based on the video, lifts off slowly and needs little room to get back on the ground, all the better for making believe you’re ending the mission by catching the wire. For more info, check out the company’s site, www.aerosports.gr"). Furthermore, the subject of the added sources is a specific model, not the company as a whole. Don't see any really independent coverage on the subject. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 13:23, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are selectively cherry picking sources while ignoring the rest of the WP:RS that exist in the article. Read my previous response. The RS currently in the article do not cover the Archon Stealth kit only. They cover the designer and his history as well. You can benefit by reading them. Also, as I mentioned before, do not ping me. It is annoying. Dr. K. 16:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment my issue is that I'm not convinced that WP:COI and WP:GNG thresholds are met. I'm not convinced because the sources are in a non-English language on an English encyclopedia. I'm more than willing to be wrong here--maybe it DOES meet those thresholds and I'm just not able to confirm. But to me, if the supporting sources aren't in the language of the encyclopedia, that points to trying another wiki that has alignment with the language.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:30, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I added one more English language source, and a link to the website of G-Aerosports U.S. Dealer (referring to the Canadian manufacturer that will produce one of its products under license for the North American market). Not notable??...In my eyes, so many sources and such documentation for such a subject, look almost ridiculous... I had said that I would not argue further, but I am puzzled by some of the arguments. It isn't about anybody's promotion (such articles are visited by 1-2 viewers a day, at best). It is about formal inclusion of a decent manufacturer in English WP's database, in exactly the same way so many (similar) others are included - and keep being added. If we favor (for whichever reason) deletion of an article, arguments can always be found.Skartsis (talk) 15:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (edit conflict) WP:TRYANOTHER nowhere mentions that a source must be in the English laguage to be acceptable and, in the absence of an English source, an article must move to the language of these sources. This is a stark misinterpretation of TRYANOTHER. WP:RS does not exclude reliable sources in other languages either. In fact, foreign language sources are widely used in Wikipedia articles all the time, and, sometimes, exclusively. If you don't believe me, ask WP:RSN about that. As far as COI, Mr. Skartsis has removed his book from the article. I don't see any vestiges of COI on his part. Dr. K. 15:53, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. There are particular criteria for establishing the notability of a company. Also, unless blatantly obvious (e.g. Blog posts, no attributed journalist, Forbes contributors, etc), I'm assuming all the sources are reliable and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there's more requirements than just "RS" for establishing notability.
  • Since the topic is a company/organization, we therefore require references that discuss the *company* in detail. As per WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant so long as we find a minimum of two. 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. This is usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely only on information provided by the company, quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews fail ORGIND. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.
None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company as follows:
  • This from makthes.gr relies entirely on an interview with the founder, fails ORGIND
  • Leaving aside any discussion on whether this from ellines.com is a reliable source, it also relies entirely on an interview with the founder and fails both ORGIND and CORPDEPTH
  • This from ipop.gr is remarkably similar to the makthes.gr reference above and also relies entirely on an interview with the founder, fails ORGIND
  • This from transponder1200.com describes one of the planes and does not provide in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This HuffPost reference repeats parts of an interview from another article and has no in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from newsbomb.gr repeats information from another article on one of the aircraft from a blog (blogs fail WP:RS) and provides no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from flyinmag.com comments on a video of one of the aircraft, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from flyer.co.uk repeats information about the same aircraft as the other refs above, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from all-aero.com fails for the same reasons, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from SIA Magazine also fails for the same reasons, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from iefimerida.gr also fails for the same reasons, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • Finally, this from makthes.gr relies on an interview, has no information about the company, fails CORPDEPTH

@Gardenkur: With Yoga and meditation, you could examine the Spiritual Retreat article which , you will see, is in need of expansion. I would take note of Robert McClenon's good advice rendered below, should you decide to tackle that article. The thing that is most popular among adherents of many faiths is the Vipassana Retreat, which is somewhat along the lines of this article. You could take a look here, here and perhaps, here. We do not have a specific article addressing the Vipassana retreat which combines meditation and some yoga. It is worth exploring, although. The thing is that people from many faiths - and no faith - do attend and attest the value of these retreats. Hope this helps. --Whiteguru (talk) 08:56, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Whiteguru. Thanks for your reply. However if I consider as pointed out by Robert below 1. The article in brief highlights in general the purpose of 1.Meditation and Yoga retreats in simple way 2. Writing it focussed on any individual or group will make it promotional. The article has been sourced from various reliable sources to highlight the importance of such retreats organisation in general by any organisation. Kindly clarify. Gardenkur (talk) 10:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - There are at least two problems. First, this reads like an essay or class paper rather than an encyclopedic article. It does not report what reliable sources say about the topic. It is not clear whether there would be an article if the views of reliable sources were reported, but this article does not do that. Second, the topic is unfocused, and it is not clear whether it is about retreat centers, individual or group outings to retreat centers, or what. The closer may decide whether to redirect. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:58, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert McClenon. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for your time and suggestions on this. If the main concern as pointed out by you is agreed by others too, I will try to address that. However, as the concept of Yoga and meditation retreat is spreading globally, hence I feel this article is important as informational source in Wikipedia.

How times change. The last AfD from 4 years ago was a strong keep, with nobody but the nominator (User:TenPoundHammer) supporting deletion. Yet the keep votes were not policy based - they simply repeated WP:ITSNOTABLE, WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES and like. IMHO the policy falls squarely on the delete side of this debate. The list has almost no references (fails WP:V), if gutted to meet WP:V the article would cease to exist. As a list, it fails WP:LISTN (" One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" - such sources have not been found; if they were, we still have a WP:V issue). As a potential article, it fails WP:IPC, WP:OR. In fact, the topic might be notable (my BEFORE suggests that indeed there may be some sources), not that anything in the article supports this, but nothing here seems salvageable - a proper analytical piece would have to be written from scratch. WP:TNT applies to this TVTropic list, unless someone rewrites this during the ongoing discussion (then we can preserve the old content in the article's history).

Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction (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)

The article (de facto a list) was improved during the prior AfD when references have been added by User:XOR'easter (it had zero before). Unfortunately, it is still very problematic, as it is a list of media in which this topic appears. There is no source that shows such a list has been subject to discussion outside Wikipedia (fails WP:NLIST: " One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources"). If we look at it as a "in popular culture" article, it fails WP:IPC. I don't see any source that discusses this topic (FLT in fiction, or FLT in popular culture, etc.). Which means this fails WP:OR and WP:GNG; the claim in the lead that "The problem in number theory known as "Fermat's Last Theorem" has repeatedly received attention in fiction and popular culture.", while arguably true, is unreferenced and unless it can be - with a secondary, reliable source that meets WP:SIGCOV - this article a major problem with the above-mentioned policies. While now, yes, referenced, I fear this is simply not encyclopedic material, just a TVTropic, WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of all media which mentions this topic. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:04, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]


  • Strong keep – Fermat's 1637 claim, only recently proved, is perhaps the most famous problem in mathematics and has captured the imagination of mathematicians and lay people for centuries.The statement that it "has repeatedly received attention in fiction and popular culture" is not just "arguably true," it is amply demonstrated by the article's contents, which our introductions are supposed to summarize. Merriam-Webster defines encyclopedia as "a work that contains information on all branches of knowledge or treats comprehensively a particular branch of knowledge..." It is not a limiting term. The list of instances here could be merged into the primary article without the summary sentence, but that article is already long and splitting out the material in a separate article is appropriate editorial judgement. The contents of this article are of significant interest to our readers. It has survived two deletions reviews. Enough already.--agr (talk) 12:49, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, the content passes MOS:POPCULT based on the sources in the article and it is appropriate to have a seperate article on this per WP:SUMMARY. SailingInABathTub (talk) 15:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @SailingInABathTub Please elaborate on how POPCULT is met. It states: "all such references should be discussed in at least one reliable secondary or tertiary source which specifically links the cultural item to the subject of the article. This source should cover the subject of the article in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance in a movie, song, television show, or other cultural item." Which references go beyond mentioning the subject's appearance and "in some depth...links the cultural item to the subject of the article", i.e. provide a non trivial discussion of how a given work of fiction is connected to the topic of the Fermat's Last Theorem? Ideally, a short quotation would be preferred. TIA. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:48, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Per POPCULT: "This guideline does not suggest removing trivia sections, or moving them to the talk page. If information is otherwise suitable, it is better that it be poorly presented than not presented at all."--agr (talk) 17:10, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @ArnoldReinhold The question, then, is our interpretation of "otherwise suitable"... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:25, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    This article has been around since 2007 and has been edited by dozens of contributors who thought the material suitable, And it has survived two previous deletion attempts. Who now gets to "interpret" suitability, ignoring all those past voices?--agr (talk) 02:13, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to the first source in this article,[1] there are many reliable secondary sources which specifically link a cultural item to Fermat's last theorem. The sources all cover the theorem in some depth.[2][3][4][5][6]

@SailingInABathTub The sources do suggest that the topic is notable, but precious little if anything from the current article is rescuable (and the sources are not great, since they generally focus on the use of the theorem in one piece of media; they say very little if anything aobut "Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction", as in, they don't address the "big picture" outside few passing mentions. This is the case of WP:TNT, or a proper rewrite needed. Referencing a list of trivia is just, sorry to say, a waste of time. It needs to rewritten into an analytical piece. If you think this can be done with the current sourcing, by all means, take a stab, and ping me when there's a paragraph here that's not a bullet point trivia that FLT was mentioned in The Simpsons or whatever. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:30, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that prose is preferable to a list format, but this can be resolved through the normal editing process. SailingInABathTub (talk) 11:57, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It could, if there was anything to rescue except categories and external links/see also. As thing stand, the only difference between hard and soft deletion would be that in the latter case, edit history would be preserved. I would, in fact, prefer this outcome, but it would require someone to start rewriting this properly now, during the AfD. Otherwise, this will be deleted, with no prejudice to someone writing this anew from scratch. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:22, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What is your policy-based reasoning that there is nothing to be rescued? WP:OR? I think that it's clear from the reliable sources that exist, that they directly support the content. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:40, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And POPCULT. Yes, we can reference that such and such work mentioned this, but it is OR to claim this constitutes a notable example of the use of this work. Maybe a few sentences could be salvaged, like the content about The Simpsons, but first, we need to have at least a stubish few sentences about the main topic. We can't have an article that consists of a claim that FLT has been extensively referenced in fiction backed up with no reliable source saying this, then one or two or three examples. Such a tiny article, at best, would merit an immediate merger to Fermat's_Last_Theorem#In_popular_culture. In fact, now that I look, that section is already in prose format and superior to this OPish article, which contains even less analysis, and just more trivial examples. As such, I'd suggest we just redirect this there, with no loss of non-trivial content. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:49, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article does not make the claim that "FLT has been extensively referenced in fiction". The article only claims that it has "repeatedly received attention in fiction and popular culture" a claim which is validated by the sources that I have provided and that you yourself in your nomination acknowledge is true. SailingInABathTub (talk) 17:34, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@SailingInABathTub As I said, due to sparsity of examples meeting IPC, there is not much to rescue here. We could possibly have a stub of few sentences, but what's the point, given that we have a perfectly acceptable section in the main article that would be its exact duplicate? That section now has a proper lead in sentence I've added based on a source you found, and discusses the two apparently most famous appearances in media and pop culture that you also referenced, i.e. the Star Trek and The Simpsons use. What else is there to keep? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:38, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think we both know that almost everything that has a half decent source in this article will then end up in main article, only for the section to be split off once again per WP:SUMMARY and David_Eppstein (talk · contribs). It's pointless to delete a notable article that is clearly needed. SailingInABathTub (talk) 22:43, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The argument that we should keep bad content in location A to keep it out of location B is a terrible one. Just remove the bad content instead. Having a weak-scope sub-article for the sole purpose of keeping the main article clean is a bad solution that stems from a reluctance to remove excessive material that doesn't improve the main article. As WP:CARGO says: Moving bad content into a separate standalone article does not get rid of the bad content. TompaDompa (talk) 16:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good argument, but one can't compare the importance of Arthur Porges's classic story, which is all about the mathematics, with a minor Star Trek episode. I'm tempted to cut out the truly trivial from the main page. Zaslav (talk) 22:23, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Adding to David Eppstein's length argument: the main page is already overloaded (much too long). Even cutting out "Popular culture" entirely would not make a difference. Zaslav (talk) 22:35, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Zaslav I don't understand what your argument has to do with the keep? Are you opposing the merger? That's fine, but why keep the list of trivia on Wikipedia at all? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:34, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct, but I'm not prepared to decide whether there is enough material here to make an article, so I'm suggesting keep until someone can prune out the inappropriate trivia. If nothing much is left, then we can merge the remainder. If much remains, we can keep it. I hope this answers you well. Zaslav (talk) 22:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep and stubbify. This is an unusual AfD, in that the notability of the underlying topic is not in substantial dispute, even by the nominator, hence a rather unusual outcome. Many editors are in substantial agreement that the article in its current form is in extremely poor shape, has been for many years, and a reset would be the best way forward. It should be noted that, going forward, an AfD is not required for such a step to be taken. If editors believe portions are salvageable, the page history will remain accessible.

The topic is notable, but the article is an WP:ORish essay that merits either a WP:TNT or cutting down to bare bones (the lead), unless someone feels like rewriting this. It has been tagged as a "a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay" since 2010. No surprise, given it was indeed someone's ORish essay from 2004 ([21]). Over the years, it hasn't changed much - it has been wikified and slightly expanded, but it still is mostly unreferenced. Much of the content is not even on topic. The first section, "Traditional theories of popular culture", introduces three theories (with no indication which scholar or scholars think they are relevant to the topic, i.e. traditional theories of popculture). The first two subsections, about mass society and culture industry, don't even discuss popular culture. The problems continue through the article. It is a decent essay, but a terrible encyclopedic article (the title should be "anonymous editor musings on what they thought is meant by popculture studies"). In 20 years, it hasn't changed much. It's high time to blow this up, or at minimum, reduced to the lead section (and bibliography, which should be renamed to 'further reading'), and then expand with proper sources and an encyclopedic style (on that note, the article still uses the phrase "of course" twice...). PS. I hope nobody brings up the AFDNOTCLEANUP. This cannot be cleaned up, 20 years failed at that. It needs radical treatment (deletion of 99% of the content)±. This is why I bring this to AfD (I could just blank everything except the lead myself, but I think that would not be best practice...). Thoughts?

The result was no consensus.

I am extremely conscious of the ongoing debates about guidelines for sportspeople. This debate is one where there is a good-faith disagreement about the interpretation of a guideline. Whilst I am entitled to give lesser weight to contributions that don't have basis in policy, I am not required to write them off entirely. And what we have here is a great many arguments to keep versus a very small, but higher-quality, set of arguments to delete. These in my view net off against one another, and I do not find a consensus to delete.

Anyone who feels merging or redirecting is appropriate is not enjoined from doing so, either by way of WP:BB, or by starting a talk page discussion.

As with all my AFD closures, I have considered this very carefully and will not change my decision based on talk page messages. Anyone wishing to contest the closure may proceed directly to DRV and I waive any and all requirements, expectations, etc. to consult me first. Stifle (talk) 08:55, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of notability. A search per WP:BEFORE did not turn up any significant coverage. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 11:04, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We delete any article which doesn't have significant coverage. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 09:37, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't true, articles can be nominated for deletion, but if there is a likelihood that sourcing may exist (potentially offline in more historic sportsmen and women, or in other languages that can be more difficult to find in a BEFORE search) then articles can be kept. I've seen this in a number of football related articles that have gone through AfD in the past few months. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:31, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. That simply isn't the case, international sportspeople who have played at the highest level have presumed coverage. Especially in cricket, where the subject is from a cricket mad country, which will have written coverage. Sadly, Pakistani print media isn't digitalised, but hey... let's create Anglopedia, where only things covered digitally in the Anglosphere count! StickyWicket (talk) 12:37, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. WP:NCRIC says that significant coverage is likely to exist, not that it is presumed to exist or that notability is presumed. It's enough to make a prod inappropriate, but not enough to keep the article at AFD when it fails both WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT #5 - the latter of which means passing WP:NCRIC is irrelevant, as she fails the broader WP:NSPORT guidelines.
Redirect is not appropriate, as it is ambiguous - other people with the same name are mentioned in other articles, including a Pakistani Javelin thrower. BilledMammal (talk) 03:10, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The search function is more effective for that, as it will allow readers to find all people by this name, while the dab page is likely to be unmaintained and exclude many. BilledMammal (talk) 03:44, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But you could say that of any dab page. Perhaps you don't believe in creating them at all? PamD 05:11, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The purpose of disambiguation pages is to help the reader to navigate quickly from the page that first appears to any of the other possible desired articles. Those that disambiguate between notable topics and significant mentions do this; the search results are often extensive and include many passing mentions on different topics from the one the reader is searching for.
Those that disambiguate between passing mentions do the opposite; they might provide a link to the wrong passing mention, such as linking to List of Pakistan women ODI cricketers when the reader wants Pakistan women's cricket team in Australia and New Zealand in 1996–97, or they might miss passing mentions that were added more recently due to the pages not being maintained. For this, the search function is more effective. BilledMammal (talk) 15:38, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For most purposes, the search function is actually pretty awful. It's great at generating a jumble of articles that contain both of two words, but not so great in providing a relevant proximity. BD2412 T 04:55, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Normally, yes, but when the name is not shared by anyone notable I believe it works better than trying to maintain a disambiguation page - and I note that we aren't going to be adding all the non-notable but mentioned John Smith's to John Smith. BilledMammal (talk) 05:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  – passes WP:NCRIC. She played for her national side in 1997, when there were hardly any Pakistani publication online. So finding any online WP:SIGCOV content about her today, is near to zero. But we can't challenge the existence of such sources in offline media, libraries, papers, magazines and books etc (WP:NCRIC also support this assumption). I'll agree with those voicing for deletion, if they can extraordinarily look into all offline medias and then claim non existence of significant coverage. Till then big noo to deletion. Radioactive (talk) 23:51, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Probably keep - the arguments that have been made about a reasonable assumption that sources might exist is a fair one here I think - one appearance in a very minor match and I might suggest otherwise, but three matches against NZ and Australia means I tend to think it's reasonable, even if the team she played in was incredibly weak in comparison. Online sources will be problematic, and the gender bias in cricket sources of any kind at the time she played, especially those from south Asia, means that I have some doubts about proper in depth coverage - there have been cases in the past where we've struggled to find anything at all. In that case we would obviously, and I do mean really obviously, be looking at a redirect to an article such as List of Pakistan women ODI cricketers, if necessary, really, really obviously again, via a dab page if absolutely required - or whenever it's required. There are so many arguments in favour of this approach as opposed to deletion and I do, I'm afraid, struggle to understand the delete votes here. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:55, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. No SIGCOV has been found, and more importantly, there is no evidence to suggest that coverage generally does exist for 90s Pakistani women's international cricket players. No offline sources that would potentially offer coverage have been identified, so the best option here is to redirect until someone with the requisite access can produce GNG sourcing.

  • KEEP per Rugbyfan22 and StickyWicket. Passes WP:NCRIC. MelvinHans (talk) 21:13, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    NCRIC does not confer notability, it predicts whether GNG is likely to be met. If editors show GNG is not met then passing NCRIC holds very little weight. JoelleJay (talk) 04:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    And WP:NCRIC is not met, because the guideline is WP:NSPORT, and WP:SPORTCRIT #5 is failed. BilledMammal (talk) 05:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I wonder if someone can show me where anyone has shown that GNG is not met? Has anyone attempted to access Urdu written sources, for example? Even attempted to? To suggest that the article be deleted when an obvious and clearly appropriate redirect target exists, without even attempting to see whether there are suitable paper-based sources strikes me as being directly opposed to a reasonable expectation of behaviour. Given that the RfC proposal which applies most obviously here stated clearly that articles should be grandfathered in some way, I find the suggestion that we delete rather than redirect even odder to fathom.

The result was no consensus. There is clearly not a consensus to delete this content – if anything, the closest thing to a consensus is "don't delete". However, there is also no consensus here on what is the right alternative: to keep the content as its own page – presumably under a different title, since the one thing most seem to agree on is that the page is poorly named – or to merge the content into some other relevant page(s).

The article title and the article is WP:SYNTHESIS about various Buddhist deities, which are "easily confused". The "Easily confused Buddhist representations" has no academic basis and is an WP:OR term. We already have articles Buddhahood, Buddharupa and Boddhisattva, where the referenced information can be suitably merged. Redtigerxyz Talk 15:46, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod, sorry, I was trying to say that even members of a sangha can be confused. -SusanLesch (talk) 14:28, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks. I'm not sure why that's an argument for deletion though. It's silly in a title (or not the wiki way) but there's no doubt that non-Buddhists and no doubt many Buddhists can be "easily confused" as to the identity of eg the main and other images in shrines, & an attempt to redress this has a place somewhere on wp. Johnbod (talk) 14:40, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Johnbod, Buddharupa includes the iconography of the Buddha. I have merged the Dhyani Buddha part in the Five Tathāgatas, but a complete merge in 1 article is not advisable. Also, leaving a "crap" title redirect to any other article seems to be not a good option.--Redtigerxyz Talk 17:22, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't suggesting a merge leaving a redirect, though that could anyway be dealt with separately if you dislike it that much. Buddharupa badly needs a rename - I had no idea that was what it was about, and had never looked at it. No wonder it gets under 60 views a day, and has not been developed much. It's pretty inadequate. I don't really see why "a complete merge in 1 article is not advisable" actually. At the very least, the references here are much better than those at Buddharupa (very poor) even if little use is made of most of them. We have so ridiculously little on Buddhist art, it seems perverse to set about deleting stuff. In fact, Buddharupa claims at the start to cover images of all Buddhas, but in fact only covers Gautama, so this stuff would (all) be useful additions there. Btw, the Visual arts sort list is the correct one for this, not "Arts". Johnbod (talk) 17:34, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We should stick with Buddharupa, and rename it, for now. The point of the article under discussion is that is is principally about images of other buddhas, not Gautama. Johnbod (talk) 14:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've also redirected Buddha in art there, for now. I'm happy to merge this (Easily Confused..) into Buddharupa. I think at some point we need to decide whether a single "Buddhas in art" (all of them) or two articles: "Gautama/The Buddha in art" plus one on other Buddhas in art. If the articles were better they might need splitting on grounds of length. An alternative is to move this to a title to be decided - maybe Buddhas and bodhisattvas in art - and clarify that the scope of Buddharupa is just images of Gautama (and renaming it). In that case I could start an expansion of this one, which lacks many of the most basic points. Johnbod (talk) 01:02, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
[25][26] Buddharupa should cover only Gautama Buddha. Iconography of Gautama Buddha in Laos and Thailand (which started as Iconography of the Buddha) has common elements of the Buddha iconography. Would suggest merging into Buddharupa and having an article Iconography of Gautama Buddha or likewise. Redtigerxyz Talk 16:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm happy to keep Buddharupa to cover only Gautama Buddha, which really only involves changing the first senence. But probably this should be proposed at the talk there. In that case I would suggest keeping this, renaming and re-writing it. Some would survive. I'm not so sure about merging Iconography of Gautama Buddha in Laos and Thailand, which works well as a more local article. Again, that would need a discussion there.

This is not a notable concept in the sense that it's used in the article. The most common way of using the term is a notable concept (e.g. [27]) but the concept in the article is primarily linked to one scholar and its meaning seems rather mundane (it's just coalition maintenance). It's also confusing and misleading to readers to state that this is the political science version of "statecraft" when the actual political science version of statecraft means something entirely different (something closer to grand strategy and diplomacy).

There are only individual articles on two out of the 36 episodes of Primeval, which feels markedly inconsistent (either they should go or more should be created - these two appear to be an holdover since the rest of the episode articles were deleted a while ago). The sources used for both are sub-par and no better sources will be possible to find for the individual episodes. A good article on a single episode (see for instance Ozymandias (Breaking Bad)) should incorporate more extensive information on both reception and production, which will not be possible here. Anything deemed relevant in these could be transferred over to the recently created article on the respective series: Primeval (series 1). This is not to mention that the title is a misnomer since the seasons of Primeval are called "series". Borgor2233 (talk) 08:46, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NSONG. There are two non-trivial sources (might be a stretch on that too), Aftonbladet (ref #4) and EQ Music (ref #22). The remaining sources are all trivial mentions or lists of new music. The author provided some other sources on the talk page, but all those are also trivial references.

I read it at the time, just didn't have anything new to reply. The sources you mentioned are from reputable/reliable sources, it's just that they're trivial mentions that don't qualify for notability under WP:NSONG. For example, take the NetFan.pl source. It allocates about 3 sentences on the Life Speaks to Me song, spending more time detailing Basshunter's past accomplishments. That it also reads like a press release also gives it less weight it in my eyes. Then there are sources like tophit.ru which are just a list of top songs, don't really establish notability (I believe these don't qualify under WP:CHART, please correct me if I'm wrong).

The result was delete. The argument in this case has focused on whether the coverage of the subject is "significant" according to the terms of the General Notability Guideline. Sports figures often receive routine mentions in news coverage of their sport and/or data sources for competition statistics, and this type of coverage is not generally seen as establishing notability. The early discussion was largely a debate over whether there was enough coverage beyond that level to establish the notability of this person. The later participants have clearly weighed in with a consensus that there is not enough significant coverage at this time. Given that this subject is a living person and still active in the sport, that could easily change over time, but for this discussion the result is Delete.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NMOTORSPORT. Only uses databases as references. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 05:20, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • SNGs such as NMOTORSPORT exist to determine if a subject is likely to meet the GNG. It is not a guarantee either way. Many subjects pass GNG which don't meet their respective SNG, while others who may meet an SNG do not pass the GNG. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 04:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Delete - Actually passes WP:NMOTORSPORT 4.1. Lapcevich won a round of a primarily-professional series of significant national importance, also noted by @Royalbroil. I don't see why this fails WP:GNG. If the race itself is notable enough for an article, I don't see why this driver is not. ~XyNqtc 16:14, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see why this fails WP:GNG. If the race itself is notable enough for an article, I don't see why this driver is not. - Thank you for highlighting a major, major problem within Wikiproject: Motorsport/Wikiproject: NASCAR. The article you link to was made by the same user who made this article, who made the article with absolutely zero regard for notability requirements. We have many editors who do such things and we simply cannot send all of these articles to AfD faster than what they are made. The fact that a massive cleanup is needed in this wikiproject should not be used as an argument in this particular AfD and I implore the closing admin to reject this argument. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 16:25, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I see, I wasn't aware that article was created by the same person, I just saw it existed. In the case of that then, this article probably could be deleted along with the race article. I also notice all other links in the results list are redirects to the track itself and not synopses of the race. However, I do maintain that the driver in question does pass NMOTORSPORT, but needs more biographical info to constitute an article. ~XyNqtc 16:55, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm sorry, but of the 4 additional sources added, this and this are press releases which fail WP:V as they are not independent of the subject, while this and this are WP:ROUTINE news releases with no SIGCOV. None of these can count towards GNG for those reasons. We cannot write an encyclopedic article from these, and Wikipedia is not a mindless database. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 01:15, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The PR sources should be fine because they are only being referenced to show Lapcevich's participation in race series. The general concern outlined for press releases at WP:PRSOURCE seems to be focused on how press releases can include undue praise. Also I'm concerned how you think those two articles you addressed as routine have no significant coverage of Lapcevich as the articles cover him completely and directly. Not to mention, they are not routine articles much at all: the one about Lapcevich being slated to drive in Tagliani's car was published 5 days before the scheduled event. Far from routine if you ask me, unless you consider driver debuts as routine. ~XyNqtc 02:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I should add that press releases explicitly fail the GNG by default. Furthermore, race teams make last minute announcements all of the time; the timing of these announcements has zero bering on their ROUTINEness, instead their content does. Both articles make a passing mention of finishing 3rd place in the "Ontario APC Series" but don't go into any further detail, since both articles are routine in their coverage. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 03:01, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're seriously stretching how ROUTINE is defined. While I think there shouldn't be two articles used there since they're pretty much about the same thing, I disagree that they're routine. The fact that you are stretching the definition of routine so much implores me to bring up the fact that, as said in WP:NOTROUTINE, WP:ROUTINE is a guideline intended for citing in articles about events (hence ROUTINE's much less used shortcut WP:DOGBITESMAN). You are leaning much too heavily on trying to tear this article down based on stretching interpretation of guidelines. Regarding your issue with those press releases failing GNG: if you want to stretch definitions, you could argue that those press releases are independent of Lapcevich himself because he did not make and publish them, therefore making them valid sources because they are independent. At worst article could be modified to mention that was referenced in a PR. Also, I'm curious, how does only a passing mention of him placing 3rd in a series constitute an article being routine? I'm not trying to ask that maliciously, I'm genuinely curious what your rationale is there. ~XyNqtc 04:18, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, there is nothing to tear down because, as I have already said there is nothing with which to write an encyclopedic article about this subject. Please strike this accusation. I'm not stretching anything. Both of them essentially say "Subject announced to drive for Team in Race/Series." That is the very definition of routine. Both of them offer very little, if any detail on the subject himself, other than what I already mentioned. These basic news announcements are not enough. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 05:12, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the statement put on the article that is referencing that piece isn't particularly large here and only really is using it for what I said, that is, noting the fact of his debut in the series. I won't fall back on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS despite how tempting it is (at least this group isn't as bad as WP:OLYMPICS, you should see that). and I do enjoy having a discussion on this really. It's generally hard to find coverage of auto racing drivers from independent or non-"routine" sources. Also again with ROUTINE being an events guideline, if this article was "Participation of Treyton Lapcevich in the ACP series" then I would agree to delete it. But this article is not that. Also, I apologise for the false accusation. I striked it, as mentioned. ~XyNqtc 05:33, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
GhostOfDanGurney is correct here, press releases are definitely, unequivocally rejected from consideration for notability; and failing ROUTINE is a widely-accepted rationale at athlete AfDs when referring to general competitor announcements (it is more often called "transactional coverage" in football, cricket, etc.).

    I tried to find all the notable clues and I found a few.

Atiqul Islam Sakib (talk) 06:26, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No independent significant coverage to establish notability. The cited sources are interviews without independent analysis by the interviewer, or passing mentions, mostly in regurgitated press releases hyping one upcoming film or another. The deepest, Prothom Alo, contains a scant five sentences about Akbar. The two movie reviews don't blame him explicitly for The Commando being "spectacularly atrocious ... distinguished by an incompetence" and being filled with "egregious implausibilities and cliches" and "pernicious nonsense", but he presumably bears some responsibility. This hagiography cherry picks from the reviews to support the statement that he wrote, directed, and produced the film, but with nary a hint that his effort "will appeal only to connoisseurs of 'how bad can it be?' cinema". --Worldbruce (talk) 17:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I argue for notability as the NGO is featured as a main item (not just a brief mention) on the Commons Library for social change (an increasingly popular and credible source to all entities and resources related to community organizing)
The organization is also referenced in a credible journal inside a research paper presenting it as the main practitioner and teacher of the Public Narrative practice (the paper's topic) initially produced by LCN's founder, Marshall Ganz.
Multiple independent secondary resources reference and present the organization as appears in the article's references.
The entity's notability is not temporary, as it's active, ongoing and has significant on-ground projects around the world.
Based on these facts, my point of view is that the entity is discussed in reliable independent sources and is notable per se, and has not merely inherited notability from its founder. I wish to note that we should not be inclined to judge it "not notable" just because the founder is notable. An entity could have a notable founder and still be sufficiently notable on its own (even if less than the founder) without having inherited notability.

WP:SERIESA. Notability is very far from established. Overall, this is either WP:GNG non-compliant, or WP:NOTYET. In either case, this right now is a vanity article. Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 01:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding WP:GNG, I would consider notable coverage to include the Verge and TechCrunch sources, established publications that report on climate technologies and startup companies. There is additional notable coverage in other established publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, which can be used here as a source in addition, or instead, or existing sources.

  • Keep. The connected contributor has been forthcoming, and not tried to hide their connection. The question of notability is a matter of interpretation meaning that it is far from being an absolutely clear cut case of failed notability. The prudent thing to do is keep and improve as needed. Huggums537 (talk) 04:58, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The WSJ & Verge pieces are mostly based off company sources, with the independent text mostly talking about the industry in general or competitors, so they would fail WP:ORGIND. The TechCrunch article actually has a bit of independent doubts in the last paragraph, but WP:TECHCRUNCH is not a good source to establish notability.

  • Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. Far from it being a "matter of interpretation", WP:NCORP guidelines can be summarised as requiring multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage (in reliable sources) 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 (all rely entirely on info from the company and their execs with no "Independent Content") and I can't find any that does. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 17:46, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I took a look at the WSJ coverage and it's just a founder interview, so fails the independence criterion. I disagree with User:Huggums537 - the criteria are a bright line, and this company doesn't meet it. The connected contributor is why this article on a non-notable company exists, and the direct editing is inappropriate per our COI guidelines, but we don't delete articles to punish people. This article should be deleted because the company (the company, not the industry) does not meet WP:NCORP. FalconK (talk) 03:30, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could this be a proper article? Probably. But the current TVTropic listicle is not the way to do it. Like dozens of similar lists of trivial mentions, this poorly referenced piece fails numerous policies, guidelines and like: as an 'in popular culture' article, WP:IPC and MOS:POPCULT/TRIVIA, as a list, WP:NLIST and WP:SALAT, as a potential topic, WP:GNG and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, due to lack of references, partially WP:OR and WP:V. Information like "In George Romero's horror film Diary of the Dead (2007), a deaf Amish man appears and helps the main survivors before killing himself, after being infected." is pure noise and not even on topic. Once again, a listing of all media which mentions the term Amish is not the same as analyzing, in an encyclopedic style, the connection between Amish and the popular culture, or their portrayals. This needs to be based on reliable, WP:SIGCOV-meeting secondary sources, and an ORish dupe of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/Amish is not the way to go. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:28, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The OP has a valid point when it comes to this article. I support merging all the reliably sourced information to Amish#In popular culture. That way there would still be something about popular culture and the Amish, but it wouldn't need to be its own article. However, this page could also be a redirect so that someone in the future could, if they so chose, follow the advice of the OP, add appropriate reliable sources and avoid the list becoming indiscriminate and falling into original research. --Historyday01 (talk) 13:07, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Historyday01 How does merging refenced trivia like "Crimson Stain is the true story of Edward Gingerich, the only Amish man ever convicted of homicide, that is involuntary manslaughter, while being diagnosed with schizophrenia." or "The Simpsons, Season 6, Episode 1 (1994), Season 14, Episode 19 (2003)" (that doesn't even explain the context, I guess Amish appeared in that episode?) would benefit the Amish article? What we need for that section (or the article) are secondary sources that discuss the relation between Amish in pop culture, which is not the same as listing of media in which Amish are mentioned. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:06, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I hear what you are saying, but if someone carefully went through the sourced content and organized it in a correct manner, then it could be a substantive section in that article. Historyday01 (talk) 12:13, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Historyday01 I do believe I looked and I didn't notice any analysis, just description (as in, "Amish appeared in work X"). If you saw a single sentence that you think is worth rescuing, please tell us which - such content can always be merge to the main Amish article.

  • Delete. There's a reason these popular culture sections get split out of the main article. It's because they are full of crap and this is an easy way to clean up the main article without causing a fight. Merging it back in is entirely unproductive. There is no encyclopaedic discussion whatsoever of the portrayal of Amish in popular culture, just a list of plot snippets. A proper encyclopaedia article would make connections between these disparate works. The absence of that makes this a classic case of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Piotrus is quite right that an article at this title might be possible. The is The Amish in the American Imagination for a start and The Amish and the Media for seconds. However, there is nothing usable in the current article either in its prose or its references making it a WP:TNT case. SpinningSpark 11:46, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this is entirely WP:OR, and the policy says that we shouldn't have articles about topics that aren't covered in reliable independent sources. The Amish are definitely a suitable topic, but this spinoff article does not have any WP:SIGCOV. It's conceivable that the sources are out there, but there would be nothing to WP:PRESERVE from this WP:OR, as the article is entirely material that Wikipedia is WP:NOT.

  • Delete - Not a notable work of public art, it received some press due to its removal, but this does not mean it meets our notability criteria. It has not had indepth coverage over an extended period of time. There are hundreds of thousands of works of public art out there and it seems that the coverage of this one is trivial, the citations seem to reflect be the same report covered by the New York Post (not a great source) and the last citation is a mirror of that as indicated at the bottom of the "article": This entry was posted in nypost. WP:DOGBITESMAN possibly WP:TOOSOON. As an event, it does not seem to have lasting significance, fails WP:LASTING. Netherzone (talk) 16:41, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the coverage was more for the work's content than its' removal. That said perhaps it was too short an impact and maybe it will reappear, so perhaps right now it is too soon.Strattonsmith (talk) 14:34, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • This fails as a list of people (empty list) and it fails as an encyclopaedic discussion of the name per se. The content consists only of its (unsourced) meaning in Turkish (the link to the town should be a "see also" at best). I'm all for having articles on names on Wikipedia, but in its current state this is in WP:NOTDIC territory so a soft redirect to wikt:Ilgın is a solution. SpinningSpark 10:28, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I thought those types of redirects to other languages are discouraged, since the lack of a red link gives the impression that a en.WP article exists. H:FOREIGNLINK discusses using {{interlanguage link}}.Bagumba (talk) 08:37, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikt comment A Wiktionary link is a better alternative to keeping—I still prefer delete (see below)—but we don't fully meet the WP:POINTWIKT policy either (bold for emphasis):

    For Wikipedia articles which could only ever be dictionary definitions and keep being re-created and re-deleted, or which could potentially be proper articles but are dictionary-like stubs at the moment, it is possible to effectively "salt" them with a soft redirect to Wiktionary

    Bagumba (talk) 07:41, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Without any en.WP bios of people with the name, this is not a standalone name lists, as allowed per MOS:DABNAME and consistent with WP:APO/S. As a pure article on the name, we need significant coverage, else this is a permastub. Per the guideline WP:WHYN:

    We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list.

      The review notes: "It's fun to watch the kid teams work together to make the least amount of noise -- they take it very seriously and it's a premise that hasn't really been used on any other game show. There's a good amount of tension, making the show suspenseful, but not too much that younger kids can't handle it. The Noise is a simple idea, but it's a lot of fun and kid viewers will see how focus and teamwork can bring about success."

      The article provides 222 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Silence will be golden as FMNA premieres The Noise, a new high-tech game show that will challenge kids to be quiet. In addition, the company will premiere a kids' version of the cherished game show format Beat the Clock. The Noise, premiering on Universal Kids on Monday, October 23 at 7pm ET/6pm Central with back-to-back episodes, is based on a popular game show format stemming from FremantleMedia Asia's partnership with Fuji TV in Japan. Hosted by Faruq Tauheed (BattleBots), kids will be challenged to complete various tasks without making a sound. Two teams comprised of two kids each will compete against each other with the ultimate sound detector, the "Noise-O-Meter," constantly listening. Each challenge involves the kids completing a task, such as opening a bag of chips or hanging a set of wind chimes, as quietly as possible. ..."

The less noise they make, the more points they earn. FMNA’s Mullin and Joni Day are executive producers and Michael Dietz is the showrunner. A Noise-O-Meter app on iTune and Google Play allows families to keep the silent challenge going after the show ends."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Noise to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  1. here primary source
  2. The only Egyptian and Arab in the German Space (does include an interview)
  3. Egyptian astronaut Ahmed Farid: NASA borrowed the name “Mars” from the ancient Egyptians I think this is significant coverage

In summary two of these involve him, but there is also details that are editorial, so I think overall this could justify a keep. I am unqualified to assess Arabic language media, so I'm assuming they are reliable, they seem reliable to me. CT55555 (talk) 02:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like most of those links are either direct interview of him, or just as a minor figure. I do not know about anything about Egypt; I am from Nepal myself, but believe me when I say that in developing countries like ours, a person would get an interview and be featured in multiple news articles just for getting a scholarship in MIT (which I have once witnessed) and then fade into obscurity after that. Having said that, it would probably be better if someone from Wikiproject Egypt could provide a comment or information in this regard. Shirsakbc (talk) 21:54, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you looking for something different to watch on TV? Are you tired of the same old formula television? Then tune in to MTV's newest series, "Scratch & Burn." A combination of sketch comedy, rap and hip-hop, "Scratch & Burn" is an entertaining half-hour of music and laughs.
The show stars Jaq, Dragon, GQ and Red Dragon, otherwise known as the Bomb-itty boys. This talented troupe writes and performs its own material. They have a unique comedy style and irreverent take on everything from pop culture to politics, bringing a welcome freshness to television comedy and to MTV, which, until the success of "The Osbournes," was beginning to look like a parody of itself.
"Scratch & Burn" is new, creative and entertaining. It's like a "Saturday Night Live" for a new generation. When you are home on Saturday night and wondering what to watch, flip over to MTV and try on "Scratch & Burn" for size. The show airs Saturday nights at 9:30 and repeats Sundays at 11:30 a.m. and Fridays at 6:30 p.m.[1]
There is also a brief mention in an article about the creators of The Bomb-itty of Errors: "That is where the story went a little off the tracks; their MTV show, an attempt to translate Bomb-itty to a televised sketch comedy format, did not take off. Called Scratch and Burn, it crashed and burned, lasting just five episodes."[2] So a plausible redirect to The Bomb-itty of Errors might be warranted, with an added sentence or two on the legacy and spin-off. But List of programs broadcast by MTV might be more appropriate if the TV show is substantially different from the play, which seems likely. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:02, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
