Non-notable person, with no in-depth coverage in any independant sources that I can find online, per WP:NBIO. Whilst head of a section in a German national library, does this confer notability, or even merit a redirect? I'm dubious. Nick Moyes (talk) 23:58, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, it was transcribed from German wiki, it is a few sentences and two references. It appears the page on German wiki was 'approved' by some kind of patrol based on those references.

Lancashire (surname)

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

Uncited article duplicating an existing DAB page (Lancashire (disambiguation)) without adding any new content. Seemingly a recreation of a CSD G6 page which was deleted last month, but adds no content to assert that the topic of the surname itself is notable. Nick Moyes (talk) 23:34, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a perfectly normal surname page, like thousands of others. The duplication is easily fixed; I've replaced the entries on the dab page with a link here. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:22, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's even a category specifically for this kind of surname: Category:English toponymic surnames. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:42, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As above, standard surname page, like many others. Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thank you both. I concede that the change made by Clarityfiend resolves the duplication, and the format of this type of page (even with so few entries), is a valid one. I've withdrawn the nomination. Nick Moyes (talk) 15:39, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - there are other books with less distribution than this one that are listed in Wikipedia. It's nomination to the Prometheus awards does represent that it is notable as Prometheus is well regarded in the Libertarian community — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.196.69.45 (talk) 14:31, 7 April 2018 (UTC) — 47.196.69.45 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep - There are many uncontested articles for books with fewer sales. Opposition here seems like political hit job. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:151E:80EA:2546:F041:87E7:7A53 (talk) 15:25, 7 April 2018 (UTC) — 2605:E000:151E:80EA:2546:F041:87E7:7A53 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Please note that accusing other editors of a "political hit job" is not in line with WP:NPA. Comment on content, not on fellow contributors. RA0808 ^talk _contribs 17:25, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice. Non-notable novel by non-notable author. If it wins the Prometheus, or gets attention outside the insular world of ultra-libertarian SF fans, then a new article with actual references and footnotes could be created. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:36, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no reviews or RS in this article, if it wins the award, it could substantiate it. Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:33, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There are many uncontested articles for books with fewer sales, and the overwhelming majority of other Prometheus Award finalists, per the Award page, have entries. - Loweeel (talk) 15:34, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non notable book, other keep arguments offer no arguments towards its notability, only admitting it's non notable and claiming others are equally as non-notable. In that case, those articles should be deleted too._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:51, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Once the Prometheus Award nominations come and go, then we'll see. But right now, the book is not proven to be independently notable. The publishing company is red-linked, and, most glaringly, there are no citations! And other than the mention of the Prometheus Award, the article does not attempt to explain the book's notability aside from this aspect about it.

PS: the supplied link to Morlock Publishing is a twitter account and not an official website. This is a quite insufficient link for an institution with supposedly Wiki-notable output. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 06:39, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While winning a minor award, can't find enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show this book passes WP:GNG, and since it hasn't won a major literary award, doesn't appear to pass WP:NBOOK. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:47, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete. The "keep" posts were virtually certainly all from the creator of the article, but they would have made no difference anyway, because none of them advanced any reason for keeping which was in line with Wikipedia policies or guidelines.

Travis J I Corcoran

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

Non-notable author. Fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:BIO, or WP:AUTHOR criteria. Initial PROD removed by article's creator with the rationale: "Subject meets criterion 4(c) of creative professionals given the Prometheus Award nomination and finalist status." However, being a nominee and not a winner of one award is not evidence of significant critical attention. RA0808 ^talk _contribs 23:02, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find coverage of Corcoran including his prometheus nomination in Wp:rs but would welcome being proved wrong by someone. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:28, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not notable. Acnetj (talk) 01:05, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If the only claim here is the Prometheus Award, it is so narrow ("award for libertarian science fiction novels"!) that even winning it - let alone just being shortlisted - is not sufficient to establish notability. GregorB (talk) 10:57, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There are other authors with less notability than this one who are listed. Proof of Prometheus nomination is provided on the Prometheus website http://lfs.org/releases/2018PrometheusFinalists.shtml — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.196.69.45 (talk) 14:23, 7 April 2018 (UTC) — 47.196.69.45 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep - There are many many articles about authors in Wiki that haven’t reached the sales or award nominee status of this one. Opposition seems politically motivated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:151E:80EA:2546:F041:87E7:7A53 (talk) 15:22, 7 April 2018 (UTC) — 2605:E000:151E:80EA:2546:F041:87E7:7A53 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Also, WP:OTHER-based arguments should be avoided. GregorB (talk) 12:18, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable author. If he won the award, maybe they would be notable. Not now....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:16, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails our standards of notability for writers. For those urging Keep: please read WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, and do not make gratuitous ad hominem attacks on other editors. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:40, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Corcoran would be the only nominated author WITHOUT an author page. The award is 40 years old and has had numerous notable winners. - Loweeel (talk) 15:32, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable author. Fails GNG, Twitter and Amazon are not wp:rs. Also article is un-encyclopedic. "Born in the Garden State, he lived in Massachussetts but now lives freely in New Hampshire." But then again, maybe I am just a political assassin like the above SP-IP mentioned . . . ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 16:49, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am here, however, not here to pile on but simply to thank T.J.I. Corcoran for writing a delightfully creative Wikipedia page, I especially loved the prose in the Biography section. I also wish to give thanks for Morlock Publishing [1], so many of the authors we see here are self-published and trying to hide it by making up plausible publishing house names like "Ithaca Press." Morlock, by contrast, has such a delightful spoof of a publisher's website that it almost tempts me to order his books from Amazon.com. Cheers, Corcoran (if that is, in fact, your name,) you are a joy read!E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:49, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm a wikipedia editor of long standing, and I know that one does not create or edit pages relevant to one's self. I've neither created not edited the page, not have I voted in the deletion discussion. Thanks for the ad hominem attacks and baseless (and, in fact, actually incorrect) assumptions. I am, of course, interested in the page and the debate. TJIC (talk) 17:33, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article about an author reads less like an encyclopedic entry and more like a social media profile. Would be more fitting of, say, a Userpage on Wikipedia. The single-sentence lead does not mention anything that would make Corcoran notable, instead opting to say that Corcoran is this, that, and owns this type of property; it is a rather bland lead because of this. If Corocoran fits the notability guidelines someday, his article should not read like a hokey fact-sheet about his life/lifestyle, or about how many dogs he has. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 06:47, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Er.... I'm fairly certain that the article is a parody of Wikipedia. Corcoran may be a pseudonym, although his writing career is a case of WP:TOOSOON whether or not it's pseudonym. Warning to fellow editors: what you saw here may soon circulate on Reddit. Because we are, at times, so pompous that we open ourselves to mockery.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:26, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The parent article Nostalgia Critic is, at best, a marginally notable web comedy show. It could even be argued that the page (based on references currently in the article) should not have a page on Wikipedia. But that is for another time, maybe. What it has spawned is this omnibus page of episodes (List of Nostalgia Critic episodes), and ten other pages listing episodes by season (also listed). None of these pages has any notability, nor could any argument for inclusion be made for inclusion outside of an other stuff exists statement. So I recommend delete them all kelapstick^(bainuu) 22:16, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your argument holds no water. --104.193.236.43 (talk) 22:26, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- In what way? --kelapstick^(bainuu) 22:27, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - Jeez, I luv Nostalgia Critic's coverage of movies. Therefore, gonna stay neutral & allow less biased editors to decide this article's fate. GoodDay (talk) 22:34, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I keep adding in a new article, and I don't mean to be mean, but I just love reading those NC articles, and I believe it's annoying to keep deleting one article like the 2018 article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.71.191.0 (talk) 22:35, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It would be more convenient, if you'd sign in. GoodDay (talk) 22:48, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I'm not that type of Wikipedia writer and editor. Even though I do create an account, I rarely use it. I just visit Wikipedia and read stuff, with little edits here and there. I don't do all those other big Wikipedia things, nor do I plan to, and I prefer to remain that way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.71.191.0 (talk) 22:52, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At least you're admitting to being the same individual. GoodDay (talk) 22:59, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete for the "also included" articles with the dates in the titles. That is just ludicrously disproportionate over-coverage of a very minor topic and probably requires no further consideration but, in case any of the walnuts crave a sledgehammer, I'll just note that some of them have no sources at all and some are "referenced" solely to social media and primary sources. Not one of them has a single valid RS reference on it! Oh, and I hurt my foot stepping on a shard of walnut shell.
Delete for the main list article too. That is not quite so egregious in its scope but, again, it is WP:V that dooms its content as well as a fair quantity of over-coverage. There are long paragraphs about individual episodes and nothing RS to verify them. In fact, there is only one non-primary source there at all; the very short Crunchyroll article and even that is not supporting the main list content, just some minor trivia about him getting a cameo appearance in a cartoon. Even if it were verifiable, 98% of this is fan writing unsuitable for an encyclopaedia. The best advice I can give to anybody who wants to keep this stuff alive is to set up their own fan wiki. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:09, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question If the main article is gonna be deleted, where else am I going to find a list of all the Nostalgia Critic episodes? I come here for convenience. I understand if it doesn't belong on Wikipedia, but I want to be able to see a full list of all the Nostalgia Critic episodes. And I don't know where else to turn.

Delete for the year articles - unverified fancruft and over-coverage. For the parent article - I can't see anything that could meet WP:NOTABILITY, leaning towards delete. Boleyn (talk) 07:15, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No delete. I truly believe that despite any problems, and even though there's other websites and wikis that show them, I say that all List of Nostalgia Critic articles should remain on Wikipedia as well.

Delete all From the second nomination, deleting, controlling, sourcing or merging this content has been an exhausting process, and you can see it from the page history where many admins have tried to enforce the consensus of the 2nd nom with a merge to the main NC article (first one was a drive-by that should be disregarded), but failed or just threw up their hands and gave up. We have little sourcing to this list; there is ONE non-WP:PRIMARY source in the entire lot. I've dealt with Filipino TV fan articles with better sourcing ratios than that. The entire article is a tangle and mess of headings where you'd have to be a CA superfan (I used to consider myself one, full disclosure) in order to make sense of any of it. There is no sense of continuity or uniformity of this article, with all kinds of table styles being used throughout the article, and lots of duplicative information (after awhile, you pretty much know that the brothers write it themselves, it's just rows and rows of a record scratch), and new fields being thrown in out of nowhere like running times for reviews. If this is going to be kept, and that's a very thin proposition for me now, there needs to be better sourcing and uniformity; as-is right now this is just a mess and it's why I've been ready for someone with the courage to AfD this to finally pull the trigger. Nate • (chatter) 00:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Literally no actual argument has been made except for "Other stuff exists" and "I can't see it being notable" and "It's too much work". Wikipedia is all about work. To say "I can't see" is forceful blindness. It literally meets every notability standard--Harmony944 (talk) 15:47, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- In what way do they meet every (or any) notability standard? --kelapstick^(bainuu) 15:59, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - What? ????? The main Arguments against the article are the fact thats its a massive piece of Fancruft, meaning that it focuses specifically on a small group of people (the fans) liking it, and the fact that there are literally NO non-primary sources that verify this list. While wikipedia is built off of hard work, it is also built off of secondary sources, which are preferred over primary sources. I don't know what argument you are referring to with this; The nominator is calling otherstuffexists an illegitimate argument for keeping in the lede, notability is the basis of almost all AfDs and you can't just call failing notability a bad excuse to delete, and no one is complaining about work. How does this article "Meet literally every notability standard"? 💵Money💵emoji💵^Talk 16:03, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Says the guy with an extreme prejudice against it. Maybe sit this one out.--Harmony944 (talk) 15:39, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - Notwithstanding any prejudices against the article, real or perceived, you still have not answered how this meets any notability standard.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 16:49, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        And to clarify, I have no prejudice against the article, I was just overly angry when I wrote my delete rational (I'm not sure why), But I changed It because It doesn't accurately reflect my feelings towards the article. I'm not advocating for its deletion because I hate NC, but because this article is, simply put, unencyclopedic.💵Money💵emoji💵^Talk 17:20, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When I see "Prejudice", in this sort of context, I read it like the legal use of the term. It means delete with prejudice against recreation, not with unfair prejudice in the original decision to delete. Similarly, in a legal proceeding, "dismissal with prejudice" means prejudice against refiling the dismissed action, not that the dismissal decision was itself born of prejudice. So, all I am saying here is that people should not assume unfairness due to this particular choice of words. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:53, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think Money emoji would be well served to tone down the rhetoric in deletion discussions, including when replying to opinions which do not match his or hers. It would probably save a lot of angst. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 18:00, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sorry if I offended anyone with what i’ve said, and I did not mean to hurt any feelings with my deletion rationals. I don’t hate the article or anything, I just think it should be deleted. Sorry for not clarifying my thoughts earlier, and anyways, this is getting off topic- let’s get back to the discussion at hand.💵Money💵emoji💵^Talk 18:13, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Hague Approach

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

Article is created by User:Has164; the same user who made large contributions to the article for the The Hague Institute for Global Justice, which is the organisation that developed the set of principles of this "approach." This could be forgiven when the article is sourced by third-party sources, when there is a lot of information on the internet about it, or when a lot of wikipedia-articles link to it.

It's not enough that sources may exist, they need to be cited in the article to make it verifiable to readers.

Console Classix

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

It was nominated before due to a promotional tone. The issue I notice is that there is no evidence that this site is officially sanctioned by Nintendo, Sega and other parties. Even if the providers do own the games and/or systems, they do not necessarily own multiple copies (for example, owning one copy of Sonic but letting 20 people play it simultaneously is legally/ethically dubious), nor is their use specifically authorized in this matter (for example, a video game store can legally rent physical systems and software, but allowing a remote connection to an emulator is a different story). If the site worked differently (for example, Console Classix had a narrow list of partners like Ultra Games who specifically license their games for such use), I would understand. However, this is not what I have noticed. --LABcrabs (talk) 01:46, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Legal issues regarding the service isn't really a deletion rationale, if I'm understanding correctly. The biggest issue for this article, is it's complete lack of sourcing.

Neither source is used more than six times in Wikipedia articles, and the second link appears to be for a different release which contains all the songs which McCartney performed at the iTunes Festival.

Another non-notable Somali locality which maps to a blank spot.

Delete. Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform for advertorial self-promotion, but an encyclopedia. Our content needs to be referenced to reliable source coverage in media, not to the subject's own press releases — and apart from an unverified claim that he topped "the mainstream Australian music charts", which also fails to specify which chart provider is involved and thus could be iTunes for all we know, the only other notability claim here is "got X views on a piece of social media content", which is not a valid notability claim in its own right. (And for the record, my only past involvement here was moving the article from an inappropriate category to a more correct one in a batch of categorization cleanup.) There are no references here that constitute reliable sourcing for a Wikipedia article, and the article doesn't state anything about him that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have reliable sourcing — and even if a new version can be recreated in the future that makes a better claim of notability and cites better sources for it, he still doesn't get to create the article himself per WP:AUTOBIO and WP:COI.

Not notable per WP:NMODEL, WP:BIO, or WP:GNG. Like a lot of beauty pageant winners (there is no NBEAUTY yet), this is a case of WP:BLP1E.

This was correctly redirected to Miss International 1996 by User:SwisterTwister a year ago, but now that it's been re-created (apparently in good faith) at Fernanda Alves (Miss International) with rather more detail and a few WP:RS, it seemed best to take it to AFD, especially after User:GSS-1987 noted at Talk:Fernanda Alves (model) that there was little point in merging the new fork to the original.

Keep the "(Miss International)" version and Delete the "(model)" version. This is a person who competed at the highest level of her field. Doing this creates the presumption that reliable sources do exist, even if they haven't been found yet. This is the same presumption that is applied to virtually every other structured system of organized competition covered by Wikipedia and there is no reason why it shouldn't be applied here, as well. And in this particular case, the argument becomes even stronger when we note that the subject was the first woman from her country to have won one of (what was then) the Big Three international pageants. It is utterly implausible to suggest that she did not receive substantive coverage in the newspapers and magazines of Portugal. But she did this in the mid '90s, which puts it beyond the reach of most on-line searching. Identifying those sources requires only that someone be willing to spend some time in a library in Lisbon. Until then, the article can be trimmed down a bit and left as a stub to be expanded later. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:15, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Rule one of AfD is "ignore the present state of the article and check the sources." In this case there are plenty per AP:ARTIST. For instance, see Rough Guide to Opera, which cites a number of reviews of Aragall's work. See Aragall's entry in Divo, another review of the guy's work from Stereo Review (this one looks like a bare listing from the snippet, but it's not. The review discusses Aragall's role in some detail :"Of the three principal artists, Giacomo Aragall seems most involved with the dramatic goings-on. His durable voice is equal to Cavaradossi's rhetorical outbursts and capable of the lyricism required in his arias. If Aragall does not have the most beautiful tenor imaginable, he is convincing in this part, to which he brings a feeling of urgency.") And so on.

What's your point? First of all, article content does not determine notability and secondly, nominators are expected to check for sources before nominating. This guy is notable, a cursory check with GBooks showed that he was notable, you evidently failed to complete this cursory but required check. This is a bad nomination per well-established WP policy. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:13, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you mean by "Wrap it up"? In response to 192.160.216.52's points, I did say "that's fair enough". I now agree with keeping the article because of what he pointed out. I was just saying his tone was a bit pointed - even WP:DNB suggests to avoid using intensifiers. I feel like I'm getting piled on at this point, just for making a suggestion. Sanctaria (talk) 15:14, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the first version of my comment said "wrap it up" and then I removed that phrase in the interests of not being combative, but you saw it first.

Jahnome McEwan

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

Non-notable subject that fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG. To begin, any discussion about notability will hinge on GNG, as though the subject has a book, it was self-published and thus WP:AUTHOR is not met. As far as GNG is concerned, WP:SIGCOV is the main issue with the article; a good-faith search turns up the sources cited by the article, but these are simply not enough to establish notability. Two can be dismissed easily; one is a blog [10] that heavily features quotes from an interview with the subject (thus it is neither reliable nor third party, in addition to depth of coverage issues), and the other is a radio interview [11] with the subject that is likewise not independent from the subject. The third source (an article [12] by globeandmail.ca) is better, but again it places a heavy emphasis on an interview with the subject, and much of the article is not related to McEwan at all and is rather concerning costs associated with college. Note that I have seen the globeandmail article re-posted at least twice on other sites. In short, the article subject has not accrued the significant, in-depth, independent coverage required for inclusion in an encyclopedia. SamHolt6 (talk) 06:49, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing here hands him an automatic notability freebie just because he exists, but the referencing is not cutting it for getting him over WP:GNG. People get over a Wikipedia inclusion criterion by being the subject of coverage in reliable sources, not by being the interview guest who's speaking about something other than himself or by self-publishing his own web presence or by getting profiled on a bank's corporate blog — so the Rob Carrick article in The Globe and Mail is the only source here that even starts to build a case for notability, but one viable source doesn't finish the case for notability all by itself if it isn't verifying anything that would constitute an "inherent" notability claim (such as winning the Governor General's Award for English-language non-fiction for his book.) No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when there's a stronger basis for notability and better sourcing for it, but Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which he's entitled to have an article just because he exists.

Delete total lack of enough sourcing to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:58, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are several concerns about this nomination. The first is the bundling of two distinct articles into a single nomination. Was this done simply because they are both women from Nepal? If so, that's a terrible reason for bundling nominations. Especially so, given that one of the subjects is a delegate to a minor regional pageant, but the other is a delegate to the Miss Universe pageant. The latter has an annual global viewership of something on the order of 1 billion people and the deletion discussion for that person is likely to proceed along different lines. I encourage the nominator to withdraw the second name and open up a separate discussion for that second article.
As for the rationales for deletion, it's puzzling that the nominator cites WP:NMODEL, because neither subject's "claim to fame" is as a model. Equally inapplicable is the appeal to WP:BLP1E. So that leaves only the observation that there are no reliable sources out there. Maybe so, but both subjects are from Nepal and in-country sources are more likely to be in the Nepali language and written in the Devanagari script. Is the nominator telling us that there are no useful sources in that script? Would the nominator be willing to back that up with a second search template using the subjects' names written in the Devanagari script? If not, then it's difficult to see how a proper WP:BEFORE has been done. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:24, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@NewYorkActuary: The reason nominating both article at one place is not what you are assuming but if you look at both articles you will find same issue, same sources and created by the same user. A Google News search for रोजिना श्रेष्ठ and सहारा बस्नेत turns up only 16 results for both and almost same sources about the same event and 6 out 16 for Rojina Shrestha are about a different person who has the same name. I actually don't see a clear reason in your vote above that why this article should be kept so can you please explain why this article should not be deleted and how BLP1E is inapplicable? Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 19:18, 7 April 2018 (UTC) (update: 19:39, 7 April 2018 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for following up on this. It is indeed true that my first posting was limited to "meta" issues. But I'll be happy to expand on it now.

Wikipedia offers wide coverage of entertainment topics, includes those that involve structured systems of organised competition. In virtually all of the latter topics, the general rule is that people will be viewed as presumptively notable if they have competed at the highest levels in their fields. Thus, Wikipedia offers "completist" coverage of people who have competed in the top levels of badminton, curling, kickboxing, and rodeo (just to name a few). To date, no one has offered any cogent reason why this same criterion should not also apply to international pageantry, whose "Big Four" events have global viewership that dwarfs that of most of the athletic competitions. And that's why I think it advisable to separate the two nominations. Basnet's top level of competition was at the minor international pageant, Miss Asia Pacific. If this article were separately nominated, I probably wouldn't even show up for the discussion. But Shrestra is a different ballgame. Shrestra competed at Miss Earth, which is in the highest level of pageantry competitions (i.e., the Big Four international beauty pageants).

As for WP:BLP1E, its very terms limit its application to low-profile individuals. A person who gets on stage for a televised event and meets with the press, and then gets on a plane to travel to another country to do it all over again, is most definitely not trying to maintain a "low profile". WP:BLP1E doesn't apply here.

Thank you also for providing the names in the Devanagari script. In a few minutes, I'm going to take the liberty of adding complete "search" templates for both of them. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:19, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@NewYorkActuary: I respect your judgement but I still can't see any coverage or notability outside being on the list of top four at Miss Nepal 2017 and yes Shrestra competed like many others but was not the winner or runner-up which is insufficient for a stand-alone article. GSS (talk|c|em) 04:37, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I share your sentiments. It's perfectly possible to have rational reasons for being on either side of this debate. I see it as a question of whether we need these types of articles to be full biographies, or can be satisfied with something less. And for this latter view, I look to articles such as Mike McCahey, Emma Grant and Al Dwight. All of these are very brief and are sourced only to a single on-line database. There's something else they have in common -- they would almost certainly survive a deletion discussion, because the "keep" votes would argue that they competed at the top levels of their fields. And that's the paradigm that I'm looking at. Shrestha competed at the top level of her field (by competing at Miss Earth) and, by wide-ranging consensus in articles on other systems of organised competition, that should be enough to keep the article.

Well I personally don't believe we should have a stand-alone article on every individual who competed in a beauty contest unless they end up winning the show or at least meet our notability criteria such as WP:GNG.

Apparently the subject has produced/directed only one short film (has no Wikipedia entry ) which earned him some award as this article claims, but verification fails via independent RS. The subject also seems fails to meet basic GNG. Saqib (talk) 04:28, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It looks like a University project or PhD thesis, there are refs but they are mostly unsearchable and the two that aren't are 404s. This sniffs as non notable. Not many edits since creation and could possibly have been prodded. Szzuk (talk) 21:29, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Broken links, etc. aside I'm not seeing a strong case for notability. Though none of us can really seem to find the cited research articles, from the way they're used in the article I'm pretty confident the first 3 have nothing to do with the article topic, having been written years before the topic was created. Rather, they're all being used to verify the claim that The model's runoff treatment algorithms are process-based by predicting runoff rates and pollutant loads and routing these loadings through BMPs using technologies which have been experimentally validated. Essentially, it's taking citations the model's research papers also used to verify that claim, but citing the original source, not the research paper. We're left with two papers by the same set of authors and an EPA manual. The manual, though it too is a broken link, isn't even about the IDEAL model, it was just written by the same author as the two papers. I don't think it's notable enough even in the field of Best management practice for water pollution to warrant more than a mention, so I'm not sure if any merging needs to take place.

Delete I was originally considering that the EPA Additional guide (see 11-15 to 11-16) gave some useful information. Which it does. However the problem is is that it in the pages around it provides a dozen or more specialised variants related to aspects of BMP. In effect, it seems to provide some reliability while getting rid of actual notability, at least in terms of a merge. IDEAL makes up too small an aspect of BMP with so many other potential variations, I would say. Nosebagbear (talk) 08:13, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep as it has a notable director and cast and has a theatrical release it is hard to imagine that it wasn't reviewed in reliable sources. As it was released in 1968 those Indian press reviews are unfortunately not on the internet Atlantic306 (talk) 14:43, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
