List of children of presidents of the United States

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

Most presidential children are not notable in their own right. Interstellarity (talk) 23:43, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

weak Delete – A topic like List of notable children of presidents of the United States is not empty, but would necessarily feel incomplete. The current article has a lot of unsourced material and, in its current form, that would be my argument for deletion. If the presidents' pages include information about children, the sources used to verify that information could most likely be referenced in the list article. For better or worse, the concept of notability by osmosis comes to life here because United States presidents always have book-length biographies and those biographies most always discuss presidential children in enough depth for them to be considered notable in their own right. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:06, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Seems to be a considerable number of them with articles already: Category:Children of presidents of the United States. Ajf773 (talk) 10:38, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Looks to me that a good number of them have pages or the ability to have pages (e.g., Malia Obama could realistically have one). Also, WP:NLIST is easily met (e.g., the books All the Presidents' Children: Triumph and Tragedy in the Lives of America's First Families and Children Of The Presidents: George Washington to Donald Trump: Includes Legitimate, Illegitimate, Alleged, and Secret Children of Our 45 Presidents). That seems pretty slam dunk keep to me. Why? I Ask (talk) 21:56, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Why? I Ask, plus, this article has existed since 2007 and gets almost 300 views per day. Of course the children of the POTUS are notable, precisely for being children of the POTUS. Most may not be sufficiently notable to warrant dedicated articles to them individually, but that’s beside the point. There is always information in RS about the children of the POTUS. Deleting this article would be detrimental to WP. —В²C ☎ 12:04, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article only provides one source for the subject’s biography, which is a web article from HotRod.com. This source may not be considered reliable or independent, as it is a website that focuses on automotive topics and may have a conflict of interest or bias towards the subject. The article does not provide any other sources that cover the subject’s life, career, achievements, awards, or impact. Therefore, the article may not show that the subject meets the notability criteria for people. DarklarkOxs (talk) 21:07, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The second and third refs returned 404 errors. A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 21:52, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@A. B. I've fixed the links. WhichUserAmI had made a mistake in the wiki markup and accidentally added an extra pipe character to the end of the urls [1].

@WhichUserAmI You only need to use a pipe character when making internal links. for external links you use a space to separate the url from the text you want the link to display. 192.76.8.94 (talk) 22:05, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ or at least pause this one for consideration. The nom is apparently in bad faith, but this is a pretty sparse BLP that I'd like to investigate further. As it stands at the moment, the sourcing is not sufficient. Note that this renders Speedy Keep criteria #2 moot. Zaathras (talk) 21:18, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep on its merits since speedy keep is no longer an option. This person and their creations seem to have received multiple full length pieces of coverage in reliable sources, see [2] [3] [4], for example. 192.76.8.94 (talk) 21:35, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
# 1 is essentially the blogger portion of a car sale website, # 2 is an article about the car, and only mentions the person in passing, # 3 is the lone source already cited in the article. If one can even call a stub an article. Zaathras (talk) 22:06, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first source doesn't appear to be a blog to me. It appears to employ proper editorial staff, and most the writers I checked appear to have experience writing for decent publications or other reporting experience. The stuff submitted by readers is clearly marked up as such and it attributed to "ClassicCars.com Guest Contributor", e.g. [5]. The author of the piece I linked, Larry Edsall, spent a decade as an editor of AutoWeek and appears to have published more than a dozen books - it's not like it's some random person writing on blogger.

Yes, the second article is about a car he built. I don't think we have a standalone notability criteria for hotrod builders, but the notability criteria for creative persons, WP:CREATIVE, includes the person's work receiving critical attention as an indicator of notability. 192.76.8.94 (talk) 22:39, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural speedy keep due to bad faith nomination. No prejudice to anybody looking into it further and renominating it properly if they think that is justified. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:47, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep: Agreed with all editors involved. CastJared (talk) 15:33, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I find more sources about the vehicles he builds rather than him [6], [7]. I guess he's notable, individual cars rarely are, so the notability goes to the builder. Oaktree b (talk) 00:27, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment We're now up to 8 references, many of which are more about the cars rather than the man, and the article body is all of 3 choppy sentences. Is this about proving a point? Because it doesn't seem like an actual biographical article is being written here. Zaathras (talk) 00:40, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
many of which are more about the cars rather than the man Yes, I addressed this above. I think the most appropriate notability guideline to apply here is WP:CREATIVE, which states a person in a creative profession is notable if The person's work (or works) has: ... (c) won significant critical attention. His car builds have received coverage in motoring related journalism and have won awards, this implies he has received critical attention and is therefore notable.

the article body is all of 3 choppy sentences the content in or state of the article does not determine notability. WP:ARTN.

Is this about proving a point? Why have you immediately jumped to assumptions of bad faith? Once you voted delete I did a few searches and very quickly found multiple full length pieces of coverage of his work, implying he was notable, and accordingly provided a few example links while voting keep. 192.76.8.86 (talk) 01:07, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Yet no article improvement. Why is that? Zaathras (talk) 01:16, 24 May 2023 (UTC)~~ - moot. Zaathras (talk) 01:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because the state of the article is completely irrelevant to determining whether the subject of the article is notable (WP:ARTN)? Because notability is determined by what sourcing exists, not what is present in the article (WP:NEXIST)? Because Perfection is not required and Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome. are part of the core editing policy (WP:IMPERFECT)? Because the point of AFD is to evaluate whether a topic is suitable for inclusion, not to improve pages (WP:NOTCLEANUP)? Because you have no right whatsoever to make demands on how other volunteers should spend their time (WP:NOTCOMPULSORY)? 192.76.8.86 (talk) 01:30, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment x2 As there appears to be no chance of deletion, I am striking the lone delete vote, i.e. mine, so that the inevitable will not be prolonged. The filer certainly nominated this article in bad faith, but circumstances have now devolved into the project being saddled with keeping a sub-par article. That is regrettable. Zaathras (talk) 01:28, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep - article has been improved, and now is a viable stub. Suggest we close this AfD soon. PhilKnight (talk) 21:21, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article is clearly not notable. It was created in 2005, but still cites no WP:RS. The only reference is to the webpage of the original article creator, Stephen George Bailey. It is not listed in any major sources like Parlett or McLeod (pagat.com) and the only online references cite the same web page by Bailey. Unless WP:RS can be found it should be deleted.

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Video games-related deletion discussions. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 20:27, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think this article does not violate the deletion criteria because it shows that the game has some notability and has received some coverage in reliable sources. The game has over 100 million downloads on Google Play and over 50 million downloads on the App Store, which indicates that it has a large and active fanbase. The game has also been reviewed by some reputable websites, such as Pocket Gamer and Common Sense Media, which provide some analysis and criticism of the game. The game has also been featured on some online platforms, such as GamePix and Kiz10, which provide some information and gameplay of the game.

Therefore, I think this article meets the WP:GNG and WP:ENT criteria for notability and should not be deleted. DarklarkOxs (talk) 20:48, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, the discussion is not over. commonsensemedia.org appears to be a website that allows any random person to create an account and submit reviews.

Delete. What a weird article. From the Google News search it seems that Lofe is very, very, very minimally notable for "pranking" Ray Allen by making annoying fart noises while he was trying to do his shopping. (I'm not sure that this actually counts as a prank but that is the word the sources use.) This incident has a very, very, very little low quality news coverage from celebrity gossip sites and appears to be Lofe's sole claim to fame. Despite this, it isn't even mentioned in the article. Anyway, adding it wouldn't help much. It would fail WP:BLP1E even if we counted it as being 1E, which it isn't really, and it doesn't even come close to WP:SIGCOV. Allen's article doesn't mention it and no other article links here at all. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:23, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons

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

I believe this page should be deleted because no clear consensus has been formed on what its purpose should be. It has numerous issues that have persisted over the years, and a variety of editors have created conflicting and confusing edits and redirects. In addition, this page is highly repetitive with numerous other pages that list and discuss D&D monsters in various contexts.

I originally wrote this page to be a holistic explanation of D&D monsters--an attempt to create a high-level overview. As an example, the page currently includes some discussion of the belief that monster-fighting is itself "sociopathic." This discussion is not about any specific monster per se, but rather the concept of fighting monsters to gain experience. At the time I created the page, this discussion seemed noteworthy but did not clearly fit in existing pages.

However, it is clear that the D&D pages are organized differently, and this page does not fit into the overall D&D project. This page has created more problems than it has solved, and I believe its existence lowers the quality and clarity of all D&D pages. The talk page for this article is, in my view, a record of this article's confused purpose, the errors it's generated, etc.

Attempts have been made to fix these problems through edits, but this has resulted in stagnant editor conflicts while the article itself has only gotten worse--less clarity of purpose, more confusing edits, etc. So I propose deleting outright.

My rationale in bullet point:

This page is redundant and harmful to the overall D&D project
It was not created by consensus or by the D&D project to solve any particular problems; rather, it was created by one editor (me) who now thinks it has done more harm than good
The problems with this page are uncontroversial: it has a variety of issue tags that have not been contested nor addressed
Failure to achieve clarity/consensus on the page purpose has made it a magnet for WP:LISTCRUFT
Attempts to fix through editing and discussion have failed. Anything salvageable would be better achieved through WP:BLOWITUP

Keep Like Pppery I think the topic is clearly notable and very relevant. I does have issues, but that is not a reason for deletion as they can be solved by normal editing - although that editing will involve a lot of work. I think it is far from perfect, but still a lot better than having no treatment of this topic, so I do not at all think it hurts the project. I did not percieve a stagnant edit conflict, but I am sorry if I did generate that impression when I undid a large good faith trimming effort, because I have thought then and still think now that useful content had been cut out together with overly detailed content. The current state is to a significant degree a result of a great number of decisions over a number of years not to have a number of sub-topic articles, leading to cover them here as the parent topic. I still think this article can work fine in a two-partite way which we more or less already have in place: A general discussion of the topic (currently headings 1-3) and a collection of relevant monsters which are yet not notable enough for a stand-alone article and do not have a more fitting place (currently heading 4-6). Some secondary source to help improve both parts have already been collected. Daranios (talk) 20:02, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:NOTCLEANUP. This article needs heavy removal of plotcruft, especially of minor monsters. But the subject of D&D's monsters is notable overall and has been discussed in reliable sources. I don't see the benefit of deletion here.

Keep This feels like ownership behavior ("it was created by one editor (me)"). I think many of this article's issues stem from it being a target for merged content from other deleted articles. But in general, this type of conversation on a scope & structure should have started at either the article's talk page or at the relevant project talk page (echoing above that AfD shouldn't be used to trigger cleanup).Sariel Xilo (talk) 15:31, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sariel Xilo: In fairness, such a discussion had been started at Talk:Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons#Cruft removal, it just stagnated after not producing a solution equally accepted by everyone, or something like that. Daranios (talk) 19:43, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't intend to claim ownership and I apologize if it came off that way. Rather, I wanted to add context that this page did not originate as a community project, was not intended to solve a consensus problem or gap, etc. I do still believe it would be better to start over and establish a stronger, more clear foundation, but I am happy to defer to consensus. It's clear my approach is a distinct minority. Geethree (talk) 16:10, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Due to multiple deletions/mergers/redirects from a number of other articles and lists, this current article is certainly a complete hodge-podge mess. But, the notability of the topic itself is pretty clear. And I don't believe this is a case where a WP:TNT argument is justified, since most of the actual cleanup can be done simply by deleting a lot of the unsourced or non-notable lists that are scattered throughout it. Just for example, it seems like when the old Fiend (Dungeons & Dragons) article was merged into this one, it was simply copied and pasted over in its entirety, resulting in a random list of non-notable creatures with no non-primary sources appearing in the middle of the article - removing things like that is pretty simple, and would go a long way to improving the article to decent shape. Rorshacma (talk) 18:17, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only useful source I can find is this order of the Presidium of the UkSSR "On Preservation of Historical Names and Clarification and Arrangement of Existing Names of Village Councils and Settlements of Dnipropetrovska Oblast". Also, if the article is kept, it should be renamed, because the title is ambiguous with the other (currently populated) village of Stepove in Synelnykove Raion (the naming issue arose following the merger of Pokrovske Raion into Synelnykove in 2015).

Keep. The locality appears in Apple Maps, Google Maps,[12], Bing Maps.[13] It is recorded as an existing named place, and they must have got it from some geographical database, presumably from Ukraine’s official data (I can find nothing to confirm it right now: as far as I can tell, Ukrainian public topographic resources are restricted because of the invasion). —Michael Z. 23:13, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

keep, barely The Russian version of the article cites the ukase mentioned above and also cites a map which does show the town as it once existed. The other key datum (the date of founding) is uncited but probably could be turned up by a determined researcher with better Russian than I have. The apparent story is of a village set up in the salad days of the Supreme Soviet, which was eventually renamed after its collapse into something a bit more like a real town name, and which went away some years back for reasons unknown. All of this would constitute OR if it were to be added to the article, but I feel there is just barely enough as it is to justify keeping something. I have no opinion on the renaming suggestion.

Rkieferbaum (talk) 13:50, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the tag. My logic is as follows: in order to satisfy WP:GEOLAND, a source is needed which discusses Stepove when it was inhabited. I haven't been able to find a single detail about Steopve during this period – if you find anything, please share it, because it would change my view.

Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history.

GEOLAND makes provisions only for populated places, therefore I'm not sure it's applicable here. Akakievich (talk) 20:32, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Akakievich - I think that the following sentence applies here: "Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history." Since this village is abandoned, and apparently legally-recognised according to the ukaz that you mentioned above, I believe that WP:GEOLAND still applies, though I'm unsure as I don't know if there exists any proof that the recognition overlapped with the period in which it was populated, or if such a thing is important (though I'd imagine so).

Caius Titus (senator)

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

Some debate that this may be a hoax.[14] I cannot say it is certainly a hoax, as the name may be properly Gaius Titus, which may possibly refer to Titus Quinctius Flamininus based on a source I placed on the talk page. Yet, if it is about Flamininus then we have a much better article on him, and there is literally nothing here we can merge as it is all uncited. No good source links the Latin phrase to him either. Thus this should just be deleted. It is either a hoax or else it is an ill informed duplicate of an existing page. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:04, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It is certainly a hoax. T8612 (talk) 18:29, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article describes someone prominent in the senate, a shaper of Roman legislation, etc, not the victor of the Second Macedonian War Titus Quinctius Flamininus. It is bizarre that we could describe someone as having "left an indelible mark on the Senate and the governance of the Roman Republic" without any direct evidence for their existence. Strikingly, apart from "Caius Titus (born 2nd century BCE)" we are given no names, dates, events, legislation, causes, family - no substance at all. The citation for him creating a proverb fails; that book does not include the proverb at all, not in the online search[15] or at the page[16] added by this article's creator to the citation at Verba volant, scripta manent 5 days ago[17] while creating this article. NebY (talk) 18:57, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- To add, even if this isn't an intentional hoax, the person clearly isn't historical, "Caius Titus" is not a plausible name for a Roman senator of the middle Republic, it's made out of two praenomina one of which uses a very archaic spelling (Caius instead of Gaius).★Trekker (talk) 20:51, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We might expect to find "Caius" in reference sources, however—it was a typical rendering up to recently, and still might be found in works of a non-specialist nature. Gaius Titius would be a plausible name, although I don't think we know of anyone of that name who would match this description; the fact that the proverb was previously attributed to the emperor Titus, then changed to this improbable name by an anonymous IP editor without explanation—a figure who just a few days ago became an important historical figure with his own article, not sourced to any known Roman writer or modern historian—is what marks it out as a hoax to me. P Aculeius (talk) 00:30, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article was created out of whole cloth by an editor whose only other contributions have also been hoaxes: 1) the citation to a source that apparently doesn't contain it (attributed to this person, who was added to that article by an anonymous IP editor, who changed it from Titus, the emperor, without explanation or source), and 2) phony embellishment of a quotation from a letter by James Clerk Maxwell to his uncle. This name is obviously wrong, and the lack of any detail apart from the bogus attribution of an aphorism that may or may not be Roman shows that it's made up.

CBR is a content farm, they write about literally everything and actively look for the most obscure characters.

Minikillers

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

WP:OR. There was one, very obscure short film "The Mini-Killers". The claims about the series of 4 and the tank station use can apparently only be found at a youtube video (in itself probably a copyvio of the copyright owners of the movie) from a channel with 135 subscribers, with as far as I can tell a total lack of reliability. Removing these claims would leave a very short stub about a short film which received hardly any attention. A redirect to Diana Rigg may be a good WP:ATD. Fram (talk) 12:38, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also can't find any source for the petrol station bit. Some coverage exists, but always saying it is very obscure. Redirect to the actress, perhaps cover as a footnote to her filmography. —Kusma (talk) 13:53, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Thank you for your input, but I feel that the above reason for deletion, like the Proposal for Deletion, is based on cursory research. Yes, these films are obscure, they are poor quality, and Rigg herself may have regarded them as an embarrassment. But ...
- That there are four short films, not one, can easily be confirmed from any number of sources, including Rigg's biography, a Google books version of which I linked on the talk page of the article, or the Avengers book I linked on the same talk page, or any other number of web sites, including IMDb. One can find graphics of the original promotional material online.
- That the title is Minikillers, without a hyphen, is also easily checked, although some sources do indeed give "Mini-Killers" or even "Mini Killers".
- The number of subscribers of that youtube channel is entirely irrelevant. The videos are variously available on Youtube from a number of channels, as a simple search would confirm. Copyright claims regarding these films from 1969 should be made by the copyright owners themselves, not by third parties.
- It is quite true that the claim that it was used in petrol stations is difficult to confirm from other sources, so we may need to qualify that. For example Rigg's biography (which I linked in the previous discussion with Fram) claims that the origin of the four films is a complete mystery. The director and writers of this film seem to be completely obscure people, and apparently did not make any other materials than this.
- I don't think that this topic would be a useful addition to the article on Diana Rigg, even though she is the star of the films, any more than any other film should be kept in the actor's biography. For example, would the plot or the cast of "Minikillers" belong there? I don't think so.
- Most of Wikipedia's movie articles are not very substantial and mostly consist of the plot and the cast of the movie, and since this article doesn't yet feature either the plot or cast, the lack of content as a reason for deletion isn't valid in my opinion. Adding a plot to this article poses the small problem of trying to work out what the plot actually is, of course. I appreciate the prodding from Fram to improve this article by adding the plot and cast.

Thank you again most kindly for your input. Mains Olsen (talk) 20:55, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a plot and cast section to the film as well as clarifying the origin somewhat and correcting an error about the film. Mains Olsen (talk) 22:50, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"That there are four short films, not one, can easily be confirmed from any number of sources, including Rigg's biography" I have now checked that book multiple times, and all I see are references to Mini-Killers as one film: "[...] the silent short films Das Diadem and The Mini-Killers.[...] Both films were shot [...] It consisted of four parts: Operation Costa Brava, Heroin, Macabre, and Flamenco." It goes on to describe it as a film, not four films, and discusses a press piece which promotes it as a film, not four films. So, a film in four parts, not four films. Imdb, archive.org, youtube, ... aren't reliable sources.

The youtube source is a) not a reliable source, and should for that reason not be included at all, and b) a probable copyright violation, and Wikipedia policy is not to link to such, no matter whether the actual copyright holders care or not. Claims which you can only source to unreliable sources (like the youtube video) shouldn't be "qualified", they should be completely removed, they have no place in our articles at all. You have since added another claim, sourced to a comment underneath a blog post.[18] Please read WP:RS thoroughly and stop using such sources or basing anything in articles on it. It just isn't acceptable.

With films this obscure, where so little is reliably known about them, it is better to redirect them to the main filmography of Riggs than to write a speculative, poorly sourced article. Fram (talk) 07:39, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your very thorough interest in this article. Here is a photograph of the original film packages, from a collector blog in Dutch, showing that there are four separate films. But this is already clear by skimming through the youtube video. It's four separate episodes in one video as you can see from the credits rolling, and that is described in the biography, which again you're disputing, saying "it consisted of four parts". Yes we do need better sources, that is not a reason to delete an article. Mains Olsen (talk) 09:33, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even that blog literally says that it is one film... In any case, more blogs or unreliable sources won´t help in keeping this as a separate article. Fram (talk) 10:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for responding. What a wonderful conversation this is turning out to be. The blog uses the Dutch plural form films in its first sentence, right above the photograph showing four films in four boxes. You've also repeatedly insisted that the youtube video is a copyright violation, without any evidence that the films are in copyright. But thank you indeed muchly for responding. You are a self-assured correspondent, and you cannot be said to be lacking in self-confidence with your very bold and yet strikingly counterfactual statements. I wish you the very best of fortune. Mains Olsen (talk) 10:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please avoid personalising this discussion. The issue at hand here is mostly that there are very few reliable sources talking about the film(s), so there is precious little to use to write about them without engaging in WP:OR or reporting speculation from blogs or random youtube channels. There are some sources mentioned in the book I linked to above, perhaps you should try to find those to see if there is further reliable information that would allow us to make a more informed decision. —Kusma (talk) 11:13, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to take this opportunity to very lavishly and most humbly apologise for commenting personally on the above-mentioned most greatly esteemed correspondent. This conversation should be considered an educational model for future Wiki-discussions if nothing else. To business. Let us glean some facts in the midst of fog. The article in its current, admittedly paltry, state already contains more referencing from reliable sources, such as Diana Rigg's published biography, than literally tens of thousands of other film articles on Wikipedia, such as The Deceiver (film), which has only one reference, or Riders of Destiny, which is completely unreferenced. You yourself point to a reliable source and yet you claim that there are not enough reliable sources. Would I yet again be straying into the abyss of erroneous behaviour which I previously did if I were to be so bold as to point out that this might be considered a contradiction, if only by the extremely unkind, not to say martinets and pedants? The case for deleting the article seems extremely weak and becomes weaker, as if perchance you had been "hoist by your own petard" in the immortal words of the Bard of Stratford-upon-Avon, by the very fact that you yourself have pointed out reliable sources for the article? Does a mind so mighty that it can encompass all of these contradictions exist, or must we await the awakening of an artificial form of intelligence, superior to the mere human brain, which can muster the sheer brainpower necessary to cut this Gordian knot? Until the arrival of such a fortunate beast, the decision is yours, my very good and faithful Wiki-friends. I wish you all possible wisdom, courage and fortitude necessary for this endeavour. God speed you! Mains Olsen (talk) 11:51, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The source I found is a one-sentence mention that confirms that the thing exists, not that it satisfies the general or film-specific notability guidelines. It is highly likely that we have articles on hundreds of films that do not meet these criteria, but those articles are not under discussion here. See WP:OSE. Anyway, back to this article: I still think mentioning this as a footnote in Diana Rigg's article is the best way forward at the moment, but this is fairly decent. Happy to defer to people more experienced in 1960s films on whether a standalone article is merited. —Kusma (talk) 14:23, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited the article to remove the most blatantly unreliable sources and claims not matching the single truly reliable source. Posting these issues here clearly didn't help, perhaps things will get clearer this way. Fram (talk) 13:13, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Given the two book mentions (and other sources) and after crafting a few Google searches, this gets a fairly significant mention in The Telegraph [19]: round the same time she made the obscure foreign shorts – The Diadem and Mini-Killers, made in 1966 and 69 respectively – which played up to the sex bomb persona. Indeed, these shorts could be seen as unofficial Avengers episodes .... Distributed on 8mm, there’s a psychedelic, sleazy quality to them, and “So far, nobody has come forward with an explanation of how either Das Diadem or The Mini-Killers came into being or how Rigg became involved with the projects,” wrote biographer Kathleen Tracy., and Mini-Killers, made in Spain, looks like a bit more cash behind it .... It’s in colour, and has Bond-like aspirations with its exotic locales. The story is told in four parts: slinking around in various Sixties styles .... Rigg investigates a group of assassins who use a killer doll that sprays a poison from its eyes (Q Branch, this is not)., and Mini-Killers directed by Wolfgang von Chmielewski, who was from the German TV station WDR, and co-starred José Nieto and Jack Rocha, who appeared in Spanish exploitation flicks. Versions of Mini-Killers range between 28 and 42 minutes, depending on if you're watching a slightly sped-up version. Skynxnex (talk) 19:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/rename This article appears to cover both the 2008 game and the 2017 game ("Dragon Ball Super Card game") which is apparently basically a revision to the 2008 game? Dragon Ball Super Card Game appears to be notable. There is what appears to be an independent book ([37], and a fair bit of coverage by relevant fan sites ([38], [([39], [40], [41] including reviews [42]. I'm no subject expert, but it looks like the 2017 game is notable and it makes sense to also have some coverage of the 2008 game. That said, the current article has lots of problems and could stand to be hugely trimmed. Hobit (talk) 21:57, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep or redirect. There is something notable here, I hope, but given the current woeful state of this (terrible referencing), WP:TNT is frankly an option too. [43] and [44] suggest that the topic of Dragon Ball card games may be notable, and such an article can indeed discuss various games from that franchise (there is also Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game which looks only a little bit better...). The current article could redirect there. But such an article does not exist yet.

here is a link showing they perform in a notable television show called Khandevane.

here is an article about their performance on national TV (IRIB TV1) which was a big deal at the time, since they had female singers in the band.

they are the first band in Iran with an album in A cappella genre here is a article about that. also one in VOA farsi.

they won the third place In choir category in 27th Fajr International Music Festival.

and they had many different concerts, but I don't think those concerts count as tours.

I believe they qualify for notability under section 7 (since they are the most prominent A cappella band in Iran) also section 9 (they won a Fajr Festival Award) and section 10 (they have performed on national TV and a prominent TV show)

Hi there, a friend of mine advised me to look at Wikipedia to see that this page says it is to be deleted. My name is Nick Newbould and this page actually shares information about me personally. I do not know who created this information, but I can confirm the information on this page is quite accurate. I am not a tech savvy individual so I am unsure of what I would need to do to make sure this page is not deleted. I know of many people who have used this resource to gain information about me. I am a well-known theatre/TV actor from the UK and currently reside in Los Angeles where I am working on a sitcom. I can also confirm that coverage of me has not come from just local press sources, that are close to my residence, but do include national press coverage in the UK. Is there anything I can help you with, or anything I can do in order to make sure this page remains? Like I said previously I am not really technically minded so I would need some help (step by step) from someone who really knows how to navigate the Wikipedia/technical world, I am ashamed to admit that this is really not my strength. Thank you so much for your help in advance, I really do appreciate it, hope you are all keeping well out there! Yours truly, Nick Newbould. 75.12.18.22 (talk) 20:57, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also what is UPE sockfarm mean ? Thank you again 75.12.18.22 (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
UPE stands for undisclosed paid editing; anyone who is being paid to edit here must declare it. Sock is short for sock-puppet, and refers to someone who has set up multiple puppet accounts all operated by the same person but with different usernames. So a UPE sock-farm accuses someone of paying to have this article created by a covert agency. If you are indeed Nick Newbould, please bear in mind that having an article about you is not necessarily a good thing as you cannot edit it, you cannot control it, nor can anyone you pay control it, and if negative publicity appears, it can appear here. If you want to strengthen the article, you can go to the article's talk page, and request edits (see WP:COI for details of what you can and can't do!). The most helpful thing you could do is provide information about the national press coverage of you in the UK. Elemimele (talk) 18:55, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But I haven't paid anyone to do anything.. So I am confused, all the information is pretty correct (where ever they found that) And if you google me you can see all my press coverage, IMDB credits etc etc. I literally have no idea what any of this means....

There is possibly a notable topic here but as it stands this isn’t an encyclopedia article and it is very difficult to discern what the topic is and why all the detail covered in the article matters.

Relisting comment: Keep or redirect?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 09:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but for all the wrong reasons. Reading both articles, it's obvious that the reason why Wikipedia cannot differentiate fully between intelligentsia and intellectuals is that society cannot either. In fact both articles define themselves with overlap to the other. Ideally, the subject could be treated in a single article. But at the moment, Inteligentsia is a very narrow article dealing with the subject exclusively as connected with the history of Eastern Europe and Russia, while Intellectual is far broader but perhaps less rigorous, but nevertheless peppered with genuine historical reference. There is slim-to-zero chance that anyone is going to carry out the enormous amount of work needed to create a satisfactory merge, so until then, we have two articles covering different aspects of an obviously notable subject that might be two subjects. So my !vote is a practically-minded keep until such times as someone comes up with a concrete desire to do the work. Redirect is hopeless because without the merge, you'd lose an enormous amount of genuine information about non-Eastern intellectualism. Elemimele (talk) 12:23, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per SFB above. There's enough of a distinction between the individuals (intellectuals) and the overall class (intelligentsia) to warrant separate articles. Both articles need work but the subjects are notable and well sourced enough for their own articles. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:26, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Seems that the core of the article is WP:WORDISSUBJECT. The parts of the article that are not WORDISSUBJECT are Intellectual status class, which has it's own article, Public intellectual and Persecution of intellectuals, which need their own seperate articles, and Criticism, which is mostly primary. Spinning out might be a good idea. small jars tc 17:31, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It looks like there is a difference between Intellectual and Inteligentsia, and there are plenty of references and background to build this beyond a DICDEF.

Note: I wrote an article on public intellectual some time ago which was my one and only start to be merged or deleted. That still sort of pisses me off.

Comment - I have to say as the nominator I'm very confused at all the "keep" votes that appear to be giving valid reasons for deletion. I have yet to see a single policy-based vote arguing in favor of keeping this article, it's all WP:ILIKEIT, and so I request that all the keep votes be disregarded by the closing admin. - car chasm (talk) 16:31, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't see much of a case for deleting this, to be honest. The article's content goes beyond a definition of the subject, etymology and the kind of things which appear in dictionary entries, so it's not forbidden by WP:NOTDICT (and permitted by WP:WORDISSUBJECT). Sure, the term "intellectual" has been applied to different things over time and in different cultures, but that doesn't make the article original research. The article clearly hasn't invented the concept of an intellectual or created it from various usages, it's a concept which an average person would be familiar with. Yes, there may be some overlap with Intelligentsia, but that's not a reason to delete or redirect this article, especially as Intelligentsia mainly focuses on eastern Europe.

Delete The notability case here is marginal at best, and if we were to have an article about the organization, we'd need to blow this up and start over. The line ARC tested GPT-4's capability to plan, replicate itself, acquire resources, remain hidden on a server, and conduct phishing attacks is a very close copy of the Ars Technica story. (Like the rest of the news I've looked at so far, that story doesn't cover the ARC as an organization in a way that the relevant notability guideline is met.) The sentence beginning ARC also found that GPT-4... is close enough to the Yahoo Finance story to count as copyvio. The line ARC has been expanding from theoretical work into empirical research, industry collaborations, and policy looks like it was written first and then had citations tacked on, one to the ARC's own website and the other to an online magazine of unknown reliability that mentions it in passing. Neither source supports the statement very well. In short: not covered as an organization, and the text would need a total rewrite to ensure it complies with policy, and indeed with basic academic ethics.

  Rewriting by making the passages less clear ("responded impermissibly"?) isn't really an improvement. XOR'easter (talk) 20:28, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  I don't understand why that isn't more clear. Which is easier to understand, a response which isn't permitted, or a prompt which is forbidden? Clearly the latter (original) is misleading, because if a prompt requests forbidden information (the actual meaning here) then the correct response would be to decline to provide that information and explain why. Merely responding to such forbidden prompts isn't bad; failing to respond at all would be worse. Sandizer (talk) 20:47, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as OpenAI's primary independent contractor for safety evaluations, this is a notably important organization. I have absolutely no connections to either. The argument here seems to be the depth of the coverage. The article currently has eight independent, secondary, reliable, mass media sources describing the organization as performing that functon for OpenAI, with most of them going into at least a paragraph of depth about the outcomes of that process. This is far more than than the single sentence mention shown as insufficient at WP:SIRS. Sandizer (talk) 20:05, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A paragraph about a thing an organization did one time isn't reporting on it as an organization, which is what the relevant guideline requires. Nothing in the coverage provided so far suggests we need an article about the Alignment Research Center, as opposed to an article about GPT-4. XOR'easter (talk) 20:34, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. Why do you think the guideline specifies that reporting on the actions of an organization is not reporting on the organization? Perhaps you have heard the aphorisms, "actions speak louder than words," and, "it's not what you have, it's what you do with it"? And it's not just "a thing" we're talking about -- there are at least four distinct interesting results of the process summarized in the article so far. To be clear for those who might be reading this discussion without having looked at the article, we're talking about descriptions of those results in The Atlantic, The New York Times, Vox, Ars Technica, Vice News, and The Wall Street Journal, among other less prominent sources. Sandizer (talk) 20:47, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sources that describe only a specific topic related to an organization should not be regarded as providing significant coverage of that organization. Therefore, for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO, but not a significant coverage on the company. The situation here is analogous. XOR'easter (talk) 20:50, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Only a specific topic" is written in the singular. Currently the article summarizes how independent, reliable mainstream news sources have reported on:
ARC's mission;

the name of its primary founder;

the former company of its primary founder (qualifying him as "noted" and his position as "key", by the way);

its founding date;

its activities, and several distinct details thereof;

the GPT-4 assessment contract, including the general statements of work to be performed;

the result involving hiring a TaskRabbit worker for solving a CAPTCHA;

the quantitative result on forbidden responses;

the quantitative result on hallucinations; and

returning the FTX Foundation money.

There is no question that the sources cover several times more than "only a specific topic". As for the example given, a company doesn't perform a recall, a regulatory agency is the actor and the company merely complies to carry it out. In contrast, ARC performed the GPT-4 assessment work as a voluntary contract, the work and results of which represent multiple topics, each of which has been reported on by independent, reliable, mainstream news secondary sources.

~~Strong oppose deletion~~See new vote below. Maybe a case of WP:1E, but wait, why is there a strong delete? Numerous sources provide coverage for his death (Oaktree b I doubt if you even read all of the 26 sources as you replied just 7 minutes after the nomination, and four minutes after your last edit?!?), so I don't understand what "a lot of stuff about his mother" and "3/4 of it isn't even about him" from the nomination's statement mean. The sources are written in the perspective of his mother just because he's dead, not only because she is famous. "Smith's son" refers to the subject so I don't understand why the nominator said "3/4 of it isn't even about him". The best option I believe is to keep it, or if anyone opposes merge this article (especially the section about the will) to his mother's per WP:1E. Don't hastily delete an article with so much useful information and sources. Oaktree b and CastJared, I would suggest you two to read the previous nomination first if it is not the first nomination.

@Balph Eubank Can you explain on sources 2,3,4,5,6,9,10,11,15 and 16? Source's titles containing "Anna's son" does not indicate that the article is not about the subject. I did not mean that the previous nominations were useful, I was just curious about how a user concluded that all of the 23 sources do not contribute to GNG 7 minutes after the nomination and 4 minutes after the user's last edit.

~~Delete~~ - Looks like it was perhaps created in ignorance of Right to silence#Australia. A split from that article should not restrict itself to just the Companion Rule which is a common law principle but not the fuller treatement of the subject, which is right to silence. It is not clear why a split is required from the parent article. As the BLAR was contested, deletion is better than redirect, although I do not oppose redirect if others see fit. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:06, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Changing this to Merge with Right to silence in Australia, which now exists. I have split this from the parent, adapted, checked and fixed all refs except one which I marked dead. As per the discussion below, this is the better split as it gives the full Australian context in a single article and does not hive out one common law principle from it. I gave the companion rule a section in the new article. It still needs attention, but I think this improves the project. Merge will preserve the companion rule page history.

~~Keep~~ [switch to] merge: because the logic of the nomination is both faulty and not based on any policy. If we deleted simply on the basis that the "topic that the page discusses is already very well discussed at Right to silence#Australia", then we would also have to delete Right to silence in England and Wales since it is "already discussed" at Right_to_silence#England_and_Wales.

@Huggums537: The difference here is that Right to silence in England and Wales goes into a lot more detail compared to its corresponding section at Right to silence. The article being discussed is very short and doesn't go into much detail.

Article about a film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, every film is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it exists -- films have to pass notability markers, such as notable film awards and/or the reception of enough reliable source coverage about the film to pass WP:GNG. But the referencing here consists of two directory entries that aren't support for notability at all, and glancing namechecks of the film's existence in coverage of its lead actor as a person, with no sources shown that are actually about the film -- and fundamentally, the notability claim is that the film exists, which isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to be better than it is.

We don't keep badly sourced articles just because somebody speculates that better sources might exist — anybody can claim that better sources might exist for anything, even hoaxes.

Delete appears to fail the general notability guideline. It would be reasonable to keep it if it passed the additional criteria in WP:NFILM on the presumption that the required sources are likely to exist in Hindi, but we don't have any evidence that it does. I'm not sure the film actually got a wide release given that the sources are largely talking about the premiere at a film festival, if it didn't then there aren't likely to be many reviews.

There are a few paragraphs of seemingly independent reporting at the top of that article so it could be a good source, but if it's the only one that's getting found then this still isn't showing notability. As I said in the PROD, one #1 hit on (what looks to be unless I'm mistaken) a minor Billboard chart isn't promising, and though this is no longer totally unsourced, there are still no other apparent points of notability.

Question: Doesn't he pass the WP:MUSICBIO SNG criterion #2 virtue of his #1 hit on the Billboard Dance chart?

I disagree that Billboard dance is a minor chart, for the era, (~2000s) that was the most important chart for Dance music. By any standard within his genre that is a major chart, and Dance music is not a minor genre. Jack4576 (talk) 14:40, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It appears my first mistake was assuming that Dance/Electronic Songs was older than 2013. I suppose that means this would've been the biggest chart at the time, though for a genre which wasn't particularly major at the time so that could go any way. Doesn't matter though, my main point was that without anything else to support notability this is still too barebones. Do keep in mind that MUSICBIO specifies that "may be notable if they meet at least one" criterion (emphasis mine), but not necessarily that just meeting one is a guarantee. Having just one hit song at a time when the genre wasn't particularly successful in general doesn't feel like a strong enough claim to me. Our best bet would be more reliable sources, and my not finding any is how we got here in the first place. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 14:59, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree that the ~2000s were an unsuccessful period for dance music, arguably some would regard it as a silver age of sorts. Wonder if any domain experts would be able to weigh in here for comment? I still think the entry is fine as is, am leaning Keep. Jack4576 (talk) 15:36, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not finding anything but the single 2014 piece in Dance Mogul Magazine, and honestly it reads like it was written by his publicist. Do we have another source for this claimed #1 hit?

Which sources have SIGCOV, as required by NSPORT? Which even have non-routine, non-trivial coverage in SIRS? The only ones that are even independent are a couple of the Daily Post pieces and the Solomon Star source. This is the entirety of the coverage of him:

Vanuatu U23 football coach, Etienne Mermer, stood by his players and congratulated them for reaching the semi-final of the OFC Men’s Olympic qualifiers.[62]

[press release from Vanuatu Football][63]

with Vanuatu coach Etienne Mermer and coach Leo Moli putting in Azariah Soromon at number minute. (+quotes)[64]

The Vanuatu Football Federation (VFF) has confirmed that Assistant U20 coach Etienne Mermer will not join the management team of the U20 squad of Vanuatu where he stayed for the World Cup in Korea in May. [...] Mermer's Thomas and Kaltak were part of the U20 squad that defeated the Solomon Islands in the U20 semifinal in Vanuatu last year...[65]

[literally all coverage is "Mermer said"], and anyway the article is a press release from VFF

Well, unfortunately those aren't enough. For the article to be kept, there'll need to be enough sources that specifically describe soul metal, the aspects that make it distinct from other types of metal, and so on. That source would also need to be reliable and not be a blog post or opinion piece. Nythar (💬-🍀) 15:12, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you read The Quietus article, it says that the band Invasion mixes heavy metal with Motown sound. I made sure to note this on the article page. Moline1 (talk) 15:24, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one more source describing usage of the term, this time being used to describe Bill McClintock's soul and metal mashups (E.G. Donna summer mashed with Danzig). McClintock is also claiming coinage of the term as well, but it is clear this term has existed well before his mashups. https://www.loudersound.com/news/danzig-mashed-up-with-donna-summer-is-the-silliest-greatest-thing-youll-hear-this-week If anybody else wants to keep looking, be my guest.

Motown sound, Natalie Maines Mother album, etc) Moline1 (talk) 15:22, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The concept of "soul metal" needs to be more thoroughly examined than just that. If every term someone coined had its own Wikipedia article, we'd have possibly hundreds on music genres alone. If these sources are the best there are, then I'm afraid deletion is the most reasonable option. In its current condition, the article requires an unreasonable amount of WP:Synthesis.

You're not really heading in the right direction. There's almost nothing present on the genre itself, veering off on related info isn't helping. You need to find some reliable sources that discuss the genre in great detail, and then expand the article according to that.

Intellectual property policy

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

The topic of this article appears to be overly broad and adequately covered by other articles. What the article calls "National IP policies"—such as patent and copyright terms—are very different from, for example, university IP licensing agreements and corporate transparency/trade secrets. There does not appear to be a good reason to conflate each of those distinct concepts in a single article. Moreover, those concepts are all dealt with more extensively in other articles, such as Technology transfer (for universities), Intellectual property (for broad policy considerations in forming a national/international IP regime), and Trade secrets. As this article is poorly sourced and has several tone issues, I do not think merger is appropriate (or really possible) and recommend deletion. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:02, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve. In years past, I worked on intellectual property policies for a number of different kinds of institutions, and I am very comfortable saying that this is a notable concept that should be covered. With respect to the concept of "national IP policies", a distinction can be drawn between the intellectual property protections generally made available under national laws, and the policies of a national government regarding the use, licensure, or commitment to the public domain of its own content that would otherwise be subject to intellectual property protections. Some countries do claim copyright ownership, for example, over government decrees. BD2412 T 03:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think part of my issue is with the name of the article because, as we've both noted, there are distinctions in different kinds of IP policies; maybe one solution is moving the article to something like Institutional intellectual property policy? voorts (talk/contributions) 17:17, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve, not only per BD2412, but also because Wikipedia editors (often used to dealing with public-domain documents due to their own nation's policies) really truly NEED to understand that there are differences elsewhere, making some documents unsuitable for direct inclusion here – they can be discussed, paraphrased, summarized, but not directly quoted at length. The topic is important to WP; it needs to be covered, and covered well. The solution to bad writing in this case is to improve it, not delete the coverage. – .Raven ^.talk 17:06, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Barron

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

Fails WP:GNG and WP:WRITER. I wasn't able to find any coverage of him in reliable secondary sources. The article relies too heavily on primary sources (which can't be used to establish notability), with three of the five cited sources having been written by him and one being an article from the student newspaper of the university he attended (which is not independent of him and can't be used to establish notability). The article currently cites only one independent source, a local news article. His only claims to notability are co-authoring two books (neither one notable) and writing for a local newspaper; all of this received only minor local coverage in his hometown. Baronet13 (talk) 02:00, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I rescued the two broken references, and I think that they together establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:13, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think one article in the locals news counts as significant coverage. The Jambar article is published by his Alma Mater and is not independent of him.

    The review notes: "Is it The Bird? Yes. Is it plain? No, it’s super fresh. Sure, this pokey, charmingly DIY room serves drinks from midday, but it’s as much a place for enjoying art and song as it is somewhere to whet the whistle. ... But as an incubator for some of Perth’s more niche artists, The Bird nails it. Psych rockers, quirky illustrators, crate-diggers: these are just some of the people whose handiwork one can admire with a cold – and fairly priced – drink in hand. ... Don’t be put off by The Bird’s alternative leanings. Despite championing the non-mainstream, the venue and its staff extend a warm welcome to all, from lone wolves with a midday thirst to parties of dolled-up girls out to paint the town red."
  2. Bennett, Andrew (2010-07-23). "The Bird". News Corp Australia. Archived from the original on 2023-05-22. Retrieved 2023-05-22.
    The review notes: "Inside, The Bird looks like a big jam room for the resident band. Simple fixtures, plain wooden floors and cheap tiles behind the bar create the impression that this isn’t a bar but a well-catered house party. The low-spec look works, though, because none of it’s taken too seriously. While most bar designers do the exposed brick thing because they think it’s cool, The Bird’s done it to save a few bob. If the random eclectica gets too much, head out back for the best spot: a starlit, open-air courtyard."
  3. "The Bird". Broadsheet. 2017-10-06. Archived from the original on 2023-05-22. Retrieved 2023-05-22.

    The review provides 149 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "The Bird hosts diverse tunes, from solo artists to bands and DJs, between five and seven nights a week. But there’s as much conversation and conviviality as there is music appreciation, particularly in the rear open-air area. It has been extended to fit in even more op-shop couches and repurposed armchairs."

    There is editorial oversight according to https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/about-us^{Internet Archive}. Suz Tucker serves as editorial director. The review provides 249 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "The Bird is known as a hipster haven, but don't hold that against it. A small bar with a gorgeous outdoor area complete with fairy-light-wrapped trees, it's a venue that was designed by friends for friends. Back in 2010, a group of beer-loving buddies gutted the William Street site and it's since played host to exhibition launches, spoken word nights, dance parties and, of course, live music. Indeed, The Bird has been a comfortable home for Northbridge creatives for the past eight years."
2. Additional sources that contribute less to notability:
  1. "These Are The Venues Where Western Australia Loves To Party". The Music. 2016-10-12. Archived from the original on 2023-05-22. Retrieved 2023-05-22.
    The article provides 95 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "The Bird is a live music venue, based in Northbridge, that thrives on good vibes. The Bird hosts a range of live entertainment, exposing up-and-coming local musicians, monthly story telling night, the infamous Hip-Hop Kara"YO!"ke and international heavyweights playing intimate shows."

    The article provides 66 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Another Northbridge venue that’s prime for hangouts when live music isn’t on offer. It’s one of the most inviting venues around, and after a while in the beer garden, you begin to feel like you’re chilling in a mate’s backyard. We caught up with San Cisco there as they were gearing up to release Gracetown and they rattled off a couple of acoustic numbers for us."

    Western Independent is a newspaper run by Curtin University journalism students, so it contributes less to notability. The article notes: "The William Street Bird is a small, unassuming venue, sitting in a row of stores at the mouth of Northbridge. The Bird has served as a live music venue and bar for more than a decade after being opened in 2010. Current owner Kabir Ramasary, who bought the venue in 2017, says his own positive experiences at The Bird influenced his purchase. ... Aside from its bar and kitchen, The Bird hosts a range of entertainment, from live music across genres to festival events such as Soul Alphabet to drag shows. It is also famous for Monday Milk, one of the few opportunities in Perth for new bands to have the stage."

    The article notes that the new live music bar in Northbridge called the Bridge was owned by The William Street Bird owner Mike O'Hanlon. The article does not contribute much to notability, so I am including it in this section.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow William Street Bird to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

Valereee (talk · contribs), you have raised a good point about a flaw in my reasoning, so I did some more research on Concrete Playground. I found Concrete Playground's editorial policy^{Internet Archive} Here is information in the editorial policy that supports its being reliable:

Its editor is Samantha Teague.
"Concrete Playground is Australia's fourth largest independently-owned digital publisher (Nielsen Market Intelligence, July 2018),"
"All facts need to be thoroughly checked by both writers and editors before publishing — we have a duty to our readers to provide them with well-researched, accurate information."
"Direct quotes cannot be altered, and subjects do not have any approval over their quotes."
"Corrections will only be made to a published piece if something is found to be factually incorrect. If a change is made to a published article, a dated amendment will be added to the footer to acknowledge the original piece has been edited."
"All writers must disclose any possible conflict of interest on any piece of work they submit. This must then be disclosed at the footer of the published piece."
"We regularly critique restaurants and bars, and cultural events. These judgements are entirely our own and are only made after experiencing the subject first-hand. All positive and negative feedback must be backed up by reasoning."
"Opinion pieces (including our restaurant and film reviews) are entirely independent and are never produced in partnership with a third party."

Concrete Playground is cited as a source by a number of books, which also supports its being reliable. Here are the publishers and links to the books that cited Concrete Playground: Academic Press (1), Johns Hopkins University Press (1), Routledge (1 and 2), Taylor & Francis (1), and Text Publishing (1). Cunard (talk) 07:18, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Every one of these sources consists of WP:ROUTINE coverage, published simply for the sake of publishing something. None of these prove that the Bird is notable, or that it stands out from other venues. If you search deeply enough, you could find a source for almost any building in existence; that is the reason why this large amount of sources does not automatically prove the subject passes the GNG. Therefore, the subject lacks SIGCOV. Nythar (💬-🍀) 10:30, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't consider venue reviews to be routine coverage that falls under WP:ROUTINE, which redirects to Wikipedia:Notability (events)#Routine coverage. These reviews meet the three items listed under Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Product reviews: "be significant", "be independent", and "be reliable". Cunard (talk) 10:34, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers and magazines usually have a set minimum number of articles they must publish in a given period of time. If a subject relies entirely on those types of articles, the subject does not stand out. Like I said, you can find an article on almost anything if you search deeply enough, but those sources need to prove that the subject stands out and is particularly notable (i.e., more notable than other similar venues). Most of the sources you listed above are too short and others lack SIGCOV, containing only a few sentences describing the Bird. Nythar (💬-🍀) 10:41, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – above is a review of the sources you've provided. The sources that come off as ROUTINE are listed as lacking SIGCOV. Nythar (💬-🍀) 11:03, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not slavishly following Nythar's analysis, but I note that "The Sunday Times" here, first source, is a Western Australia local paper and this appears to be a brief Sunday supplement write up. The others also appear to be in a similar vein don't they? This does not meet significant coverage per WP:NCORP, WP:SIRS. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:38, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Cunard’s excellent analysis. like other recent AfD’s, this pushes the windows of ROUTINE and SIGCOV in a strongly deletionist direction. As for the comment that the Sunday Times is merely a “local Western Australian” newspaper: our notability guidelines require reliable sources, not big sources. Even it it did require big sources, I would think a Perth newspaper with 168,000 subscribers would apply even if merely Western Australian. See The Sunday Times (Western Australia). —A.

The source you are referring to by no means qualifies as "significant coverage." Nythar (💬-🍀) 15:39, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The point about the paper being local to WA, and the article being a Sunday supplement article is that this is not, therefore, significant coverage of a notable business but routine coverage of a local one. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:00, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How in the hell is it "by no means" significant coverage in the source you just linked to? It isn't just a trivial mention. 100% of the coverage in that source is about the topic.

@Huggums537: See WP:CORPDEPTH. I posted the entire article below if you want to examine it quickly. According to CORPDEPTH:

The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization.

If you examine the article, you'll find that it consists entirely of trivial information. In fact, that article contains almost no information suitable for an article, other than the fact that the venue exists. You can try that out if you're not sure: try writing a non-PROMO, non-trivial, non-brief, non-SYNTH article using that source alone. It's not possible. Therefore, it isn't possible to write an article longer than a very brief, incomplete stub using that source. It is composed entirely of trivial coverage. That means it fails SIGCOV according to CORPDEPTH. You can examine the other sources this way, and you'll find that none of them contain SIGCOV. (The university paper source is somewhat in-depth but is very local, and therefore fails SIGCOV per #Audience.) —Nythar (💬-🍀) 09:19, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Um, I think you are confused. Sources don't have to pass any kind of a notability test, only Wikipedia articles do. A single source doesn't have to be able to support a whole article all by itself to be used on Wikipedia, and you should give a severe tongue lashing to whomever planted that dumb idea into your head. Huggums537 (talk) 09:50, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Huggums537 What on earth are you talking about? Sources don't pass notability tests; they need to be acceptable according to the GNG so that the article subject passes the GNG. This is entirely about SIGCOV. A source isn't SIGCOV if it is entirely trivial coverage. Significant coverage != trivial coverage. Using a single SIGCOV source, one should be able to, according to policy, produce an article that isn't horrendously brief. Meaning there is enough information that is "significant" (e.g. relatively detailed history, current owners, neutral analysis of the venue's effects on people living there, etc.) Can you prove that The Sunday Times' article contains anything but trivial coverage? Nythar (💬-🍀) 09:55, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing in SIGCOV says a source has to be able to support an article in order to be used. Period. Huggums537 (talk) 10:44, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Argue with CORPDEPTH: Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization. To add to this, consider the fact that any organization or company that has at least one SIGCOV source (assuming it is both reliable and independent) may have an article. But if that "SIGCOV" source alone can only result in a single-sentence stub, then it isn't SIGCOV. I'm not making up rules; refrain from accusing me of this, and communicate civilly. Nythar (💬-🍀) 10:48, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So what? Nothing you quoted at CORPDEPTH says the coverage has to come from a single source! Only that the subject has enough coverage to write more than a stub. Just because a single source might have enough coverage to support an article doesn't mean the source can't be used or isn't SIGCOV if it can't support an article. You could have multiple sources that each don't have enough coverage to support an article on their own merit, but do have enough coverage to support the topic, and when combined they all have enough coverage to support an article. Nothing in what you quoted says anything about coming from a single source. If it doesn't say it, then you are coming to your own conclusion. ~~In other words, you are making it up.~~ Conflating SIGCOV with CORPDEPTH and vice versa. You have already indicated elsewhere in this conversation that your intentions are to run us through hypothetical experiments on your theories about this, and I have already asked before to please stop, so I'll ask one last time to please keep your experimental theories to yourself.

The fact that you think sources can collectively constitute significant coverage indicates underlying WP:CIR issues with your understanding of relevant guidelines. WP:SIRS specifically states "Individual sources must be evaluated separately and independently of each other and meet the four criteria below to determine if a source qualifies towards establishing notability"; one of the criteria is "Contain significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth." What is it about this that is so difficult to understand? Individual sources must be evaluated separately and independently of each other, and each source must meet all the criteria, one of which is SIGCOV. You're forcing me to need to clarify such obvious points, that my replies here seem to be "badgering." Anyway, we've gotten past that point; SIGCOV is only determined individually here. Moving on, the problem with regards to the 8 sources is that they do not contain "significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth." Why do I think this? I think this because (and I hope you'll stop belittling my position), if an article like the one I listed below cannot have meaningful, useful information derived from it which can be used in a Wikipedia article, then it does not qualify as "addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth." Why is this the case? If you read through the source below, you'll see that all the information is trivial and nothing there can be used in a Wikipedia article. It is superficial in coverage, reading more like a PROMO than a neutral article. Again, I do not know why you find it difficult to understand this. You're focusing on minor points that you think I got wrong rather than the bigger picture I'm painting. In addition to all this, your tone is quite condescending. You accuse me of failing to understand guidelines even though you (as I have demonstrated) do not understand this guideline. Adding to this, my experiment wasn't imaginary nonsense; noting once again that SIGCOV is determined individually per SIRS, if you can't use any part of a source in an article (since it focuses on drink prices and very minor trivialities), then it doesn't qualify as SIGCOV. These trivialities include "this pokey, charmingly DIY room serves drinks from midday" and "A succinct wine list that includes Mitolo pinot grigio ($9 a glass)" and "The Bird is also licensed to sell takeaway alcohol" and "The bar team, meanwhile, hasn’t gone too crazy with its cocktails" and "the venue and its staff extend a warm welcome to all" and "the bartenders’ smiles are genuine." How is the coverage significant if it focuses on such trivialities? Well, it isn't. It fails the "addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth" part of SIRS. The rest of the sources also fail this point (literally try checking them out yourself). Before you decide to respond, please rethink your positions and comments carefully, because even I am not entirely sure I understand what you're arguing for. Nythar (💬-🍀) 14:05, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My competency with understanding of relevant guidelines is just fine since I can quote policy that says exactly verbatim to back up my understanding of it at WP:NBASIC where it says, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability..., while ~~I have grave CIR concerns about your interpretations and understandings of basic guidance since~~ I have told you multiple times the guidance does not say exactly what you are trying to imply it does. Sure, each source must be evaluated independently, and sure each source must have more than a trivial mention (SIGCOV), but you do not seem to be grasping the fact that it still doesn't say anywhere that a single source must support the notability an article. Having significant coverage (i.e. being more than a trivial mention}, and "being notable" are two different things. Your inability to distinguish the two is becoming frustrating and tiresome. If you don't understand the extremely basic concept that what SIRS is trying to explain is that ok source 1 has enough coverage to go toward ~~notability~~ [SIGCOV], source 2 has enough coverage to go toward ~~notability~~ [SIGCOV] etc, etc, then you are falling far too short ~~of the basic understanding needed to edit here.~~ Huggums537 (talk) 17:58, 24 May 2023 (UTC) Updated on 18:35, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Updated16:49, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, each source must be, secondary, independent, reliable, and be more than a trivial mention, not be notable in its own right, and each source must be evaluated to meet this standard in order to qualify as a contributing source toward notability. When you are evaluating the SIGCOV criteria, you are not evaluating for notability, you are evaluating for SIGCOV to see if it is more than a trivial mention. If it isn't obvious that evaluating SIGCOV is evaluating SIGCOV, and not evaluating something else, then perhaps you should consider any one of the other 4 criteria such as the reliable sourcing criteria and imagine how weird it would be to say that evaluating a reliable source requires the source to contribute to notability before it can be considered for notability, because that is essentially the same argument you are making, and trying to require for the SIGCOV criteria. It is absolutely absurd and ridiculous! If the SIGCOV criteria must follow the guidance the way you are incessantly insisting that it does, then so must the others follow the same rule. If they are not able to do that without making any sense then it follows that isn't what it means. Huggums537 (talk) 19:07, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization.

This is the requirement for each source contributing to notability. JoelleJay (talk) 21:40, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

:Regurgitating what has already been said is not helpful in the least. I see nowhere whatsoever where it says that is a requirement for each source. My read on it is that the requirement is for depth of coverage on each subject per the sentence that specifically says it; Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability.. Only after it mentions this does it continue on to describe what deep or significant coverage is, and finally ending by saying that such coverage [of the subject] goes beyond mentions (plural) and announcements (plural) (That means more than one announcement in case you didn't catch that), to make it (obviousy) possible to write more than a stub. Huggums537 (talk) 22:12, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I only see one small sentence in the front saying anything about a source, and it has nothing to do with contributing to notability as you suggested. It is also talking about the depth of coverage on a subject by a source, and saying it must be considered, as it should. Huggums537 (talk) 22:25, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The opening line considers the depth of coverage of the subject by a source; why would the succeeding sentences that go on to describe what "depth" means now switch to being about the aggregate coverage across multiple sources? Why would the guideline repeatedly emphasize that
An individual source must meet all of these criteria to be counted towards establishing notability; each source needs to be significant, independent, reliable, and secondary.
and then immediately redefine "significant coverage" as a cumulative product achieved through multiple sources? That would be utterly useless guidance for determining whether any given source is sufficiently significant to contribute to org notability, and would directly contradict all the other places where SIGCOV is described in relation to a single source, e.g.
Like any other source, reviews must meet the primary criteria to be counted towards the notability requirement:
1.Be significant [...]
Do you also believe the other key criteria for a SIGCOV SIRS are distributive just because the sections on "independent sources", "reliable sources", and "secondary sources" use "sources" instead of (awkwardly) speaking in the singular the whole time? JoelleJay (talk) 23:46, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Jeez. I can't even get out of a debate because you want to argue the point so bad you're even willing to respond to a struckout comment. Thank heaven I at least got a little nap in. Nobody is trying to redefine SIGCOV. It is clearly defined where SIRS links to it in the primary criteria. WP:ORGCRIT says, A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. and then it goes on to tell you that These criteria, generally, follow the general notability guideline. If you go to SIGCOV it plainly tells you exactly what is meant for the "Significant coverage" threshold: Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.. More than a trivial mention is good enough to pass SIRS for each individual source. The issue about CORPDEPTH is a totally separate thing in a completely different part of the guidance that really has to be talking about the overall notability of the subject. If you are attempting to mix SIRS with CORPDEPTH in ways that contradict the "parent" guidance by trying to say that the individual sources they are talking about from SIRS now have to be able to write their own articles in the way they are talking about should be done for all subjects in CORPDEPTH, then you are violating the fundamental ideas of SIGCOV that they must be more than trivial mentions, and also the principle of WP:NNC that notability doesn't govern content because if you really want to try talking about using a single source, then you don't really have any other choice but to talk about violating that since the only content you would have regarding notability is coming from just that source. It's really very hard to say you aren't using notability to govern content if you are just using the one source for notability. To make matters worse, you would (confusingly) be claiming the same guidance for both, but really violating it in two or more different areas of it. Huggums537 (talk) 03:53, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I started my reply before you struck your comments out.

NCORP works within GNG to tell us what type of coverage is considered non-trivial for companies and therefore contributory towards notability. You cannot meet GNG and fail NCORP unless you apply an interpretation of SIGCOV or independence that is at odds with the guidance at NCORP.

CORPDEPTH is not a totally separate thing in a completely different part of the guidance from SIRS, it comes directly after SIRS under the same Primary criteria section following an extremely straightforward format: SIRS explains how to apply ORGCRIT by stating the four SIRS criteria, then immediately after expands on each of those requirements with details and examples. The "S" in SIRS is expanded upon starting with the CORPDEPTH section and ending with ILLCON.

This is how I and I'm guessing pretty much everyone else here reads CORPDEPTH (bolded clarifiers):

The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by a given source is not sufficient to establish or contribute toward notability (alt from Numerical facts section: A collection of multiple trivial sources does not become significant). Deep or (aka significant) coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Such coverage by each qualifying source provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and this requirement for each source makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization.

but I really wanna get out of this off topic conversation - usually best achieved by not saying anything more. Anyway, the reason someone might "mix SIRS with CORPDEPTH" is that these are sections of the NCORP guidance, and if you don't understand that guidance, you should not be commenting on AfD's in this area. The meta discussion, if you wish to pursue it, is better placed in an RfC somewhere on the guidance (not that I would recommend that). What matters here is that this article fails against NCORP.

Well, thanks a whole heck of a lot for that comment. Now you've forced me to have to justify commenting here after you just advised me that all I have to do is not reply if I don't want to be involved in the discussion. That's just great. Anyway, it should be fairly obvious to anyone that just because two different things appear in the same page and on the same guideline does not mean that they have to be talking about the same thing. I just provided you a perfectly good example of this above with NNC. The notability guideline deals with the idea about whether a topic should have its own article or not while NNC is about the fact that article content itself is not regulated by notability guidelines. Two different things on the same page in the same guideline.

Comment: Venue reviews are not routine sources. Veenhuyzen 2014 is a 285-word review. Bennett 2010 is a 347-word review. Broadsheet 2017 is a 149-word review. McCarthy 2018 is a 249-word review. These reviews are all about William Street Bird and all meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Significant coverage. These reviews are both functionally and intellectually independent from William Street Bird, so they meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Independent sources. The Sunday Times had a circulation of over 250,000 in 2013 and is distributed throughout the state of Western Australia. It meets Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience, which requires "at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source".
Nythar wrote above, "the subject does not stand out. Like I said, you can find an article on almost anything if you search deeply enough, but those sources need to prove that the subject stands out and is particularly notable (i.e., more notable than other similar venues)." There is no requirement in Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) that a venue must "stand out" or be "more notable than other similar venues". There is a requirement in Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria only that the venue "has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The venue reviews allow the venue to meet the requirement.
Cunard (talk) 07:18, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And yours was a 217 word comment! Western Australia has a population of 2.8 million with the vast majority (2.1 million) living in Perth. The review is from the "Sunday Style (Perth, Australia)" section. This is routine coverage of a local business. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:29, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Certain things that are average, normal, or run-of-the-mill do not "stand out" from other similar things. You claim these sources demonstrate SIGCOV, and I disagree because the sources don't prove that this venue is more notable than any other non-notable venue. SIGCOV is not as simple as "a two-hundred-word review exists." WP:NCORP states that local coverage is insignificant coverage (meaning the subject is not notable enough for an international audience). Every source you've provided above either falls under local coverage or is simply too short to be worth counting towards SIGCOV. And like Sirfurboy said, the population of Western Australia mostly resides in Perth (79% I believe), so that newspaper you cited can be considered to be local coverage. SIGCOV sources would examine the Bird more thoroughly, and would prove the Bird is notable beyond its local scene. Nythar (💬-🍀) 07:43, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the article you're referring to:

IS it The Bird? Yes. Is it plain? No, it’s super fresh.
Sure, this pokey, charmingly DIY room serves drinks from midday, but it’s as much a place for enjoying art and song as it is somewhere to whet the whistle.
The promoters of Friday’s Kanye West concert probably didn’t have The Bird on their venue shortlist, nor are you likely to find a Rembrandt displayed here.
But as an incubator for some of Perth’s more niche artists, The Bird nails it. Psych rockers, quirky illustrators, crate-diggers: these are just some of the people whose handiwork one can admire with a cold – and fairly priced – drink in hand.
A succinct wine list that includes Mitolo pinot grigio ($9 a glass) proves it’s possible, even for venues that aren’t particularly wine-minded, to serve interesting vino at reasonable prices.
The cider and beer range observes a similar mantra with Feral’s Sly Fox summer ale one of four brews available as an $8 pint.
The Bird is also licensed to sell takeaway alcohol, which is handy for revellers keen to kick on once the party’s over.
The bar team, meanwhile, hasn’t gone too crazy with its cocktails, electing instead to stick with dependables such as the Bloody Mary ($17) and Dark ‘n’ Stormy ($20).
Don’t be put off by The Bird’s alternative leanings. Despite championing the non-mainstream, the venue and its staff extend a warm welcome to all, from lone wolves with a midday thirst to parties of dolled-up girls out to paint the town red.
The setting, while sparse, is tidy and clean (except for when smokers light up out the back), the bartenders’ smiles are genuine and The Bird proves originality is alive in Northbridge.

What part of this significantly describes the Bird? This is one of the most non-SIGCOV sources I have seen on Wikipedia. Where's the thorough analysis/description? All I see is an advertisement with no information pertaining to the venue's history. Besides the nonexistent SIGCOV, this article claims the Bird is an incubator for some of Perth’s more niche artists, indicating that it is local coverage.

Here's an experiment: assume you were asked to write an article based on this source alone. After all, you claim it significantly covers the subject, so assuming that there are no other sources available from which you may derive information, and since this source's coverage is "significant", you should at least be able to write an article that sufficiently describes the subject without any PROMO influences. Now re-review The Sunday Times' article and try to find meaningful information that isn't trivial. (You can try doing this with any of the other sources you provided, and you'll see that there's hardly a bit of non-trivial coverage in most of them.) Nythar (💬-🍀) 09:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to have to insist that you stop this off topic hypothetical line of query and cease the badgering of other editors with experimental theories that are not grounded in any policy.

Above you say: Um, I think you are confused. Sources don't have to pass any kind of a notability test. This is incorrect. From WP:SIRS:
Individual sources must be evaluated separately and independently of each other and meet the four criteria below to determine if a source qualifies towards establishing notability.
1. Contain significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth.
2. Be completely independent of the article subject.
3. Meet the standard for being a reliable source.
4. Be a secondary source; primary and tertiary sources do not count towards establishing notability.

Moreover, under significance, the WP:PRODUCTREV guidance states: The reviews must be published outside of purely local [...] interest publications. Articles in the "Sunday Style (Perth, Australia)" section of a paper, telling you the price of drinks in a club are local interest, clearly. This is the quality of the sources, and per policy, these sources do not pass the required notability test, and per Nythar there is no way an encyclopaedia article can be written from these sources. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:27, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And please, drop the non-policy based argument that an article can't be written with that source.

Delete. The source analyses by Nythar above are thorough and accurate. NCORP is extremely straightforward and unambiguous that each source must be SIGCOV SIRS to count toward notability; editors unfamiliar with this guideline should not be !voting on NCORP AfDs. It's also very clear from the guideline that local sources do not contribute to notability either, so all the reviews from Perth must be dismissed (and anything that lists the literal address and/or phone number of the venue is certainly local).

You could say that about any news media source since they all advertise, and so they will always profit from anything they are reporting on no matter if there is sponsorship related to what they report about or not. Plus, we have no way to determine which things they report on are sponsor related, and which ones are not unless they tell us directly this report was brought to you by so and so, and most reputable reporting agencies (even local ones) will do this in some form.

Agree, the problem is much wider than this particular article. However, truly notable businesses will also have significant in-depth coverage, positive or negative (e.g., Nestlé, Ford) or be notable in other ways (e.g. company size, innovation, stock listings, etc.).

I think you misunderstood. I wasn't saying there was a problem wider than the article. I was saying that your "problem" with local publications doing advertising and sponsorships is only an imagined one because it isn't unique to local publications since all publications and news media outlets do this. If what you were saying was true, then we couldn't use any publication or news media service as independent no matter if it were local or not. If your real argument was the fact that this article wasn't notable enough to have worldwide coverage like Nestle or Ford, then the argument isn't valid since there is no requirement for any article to have worlwide or even national coverage like OTHERSTUFF does. The tired old argument that if something really is notable, then it will be known all over the world is really stupid. There is all kinds of stuff only small groups of experts know or care about that is notable, and the only place you can find "coverage" for it is in a handful of journals... Huggums537 (talk) 04:15, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You could say it virtually about any local business. I'd venture to say that every restaurant larger than three tables has made sure to be known locally, be it through local press or radio or telephone directories. I never said that I require worldwide notability: I only expect notability independent from the subject. Nestlé is notable for various reasons, including the worldwide Nestlé boycott, while Ford Motor Company has its place in history also due to the pioneering implementation of the assembly line concept.

Yes, most local publications are unreliable in establishing notability – our key policy states that Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large. We also have a plethora of other policies and guidelines around the reputation of sources and the potentially WP:SPONSORED content.

Now let me know please what's so notable about that restaurant that can be found in independent, unsponsored sources. — kashmīrī ^TALK 10:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no requirement that sources be unsponsored. Have you not read WP:SPONSORED? It clearly says what I was explaining to you before, Reliable publications clearly indicate sponsored articles in the byline or with a disclaimer at the top of the article.. Huggums537 (talk) 17:30, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You misunderstood me. It's not about advertisements, which indeed are usually marked as such. It's about that particular service that media provide for money: generating buzz. Any media article whose obvious role is to generate buzz about a commercial enterprise is, with absolute certainty, sponsored.

If you believe that media companies ("reliable", "unreliable", doesn't matter) are gladly paying their staff to write about random restaurants for nothing in return, you fail to understand how media business works. — kashmīrī ^TALK 01:01, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This meets GNG per Cunard's analysis. So long as the article meets GNG, it doesn't matter if it fails NCORP. I also think an interesting analogy is to NSONG, which provides that notable sources include[ ] published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries or reviews. Until a music venue has been around for a while (e.g., Webster Hall), it's likely that most of the sources on it will be reviews. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:39, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So long as the article meets GNG, it doesn't matter if it fails NCORP. @Voorts, this is incorrect. NCORP prescribes which sources and coverage count towards GNG; an NCORP subject by definition cannot meet GNG if it doesn't meet NCORP. From WP:N: SNGs can also provide examples of sources and types of coverage considered significant for the purposes of determining notability, such as [...] the strict significant coverage requirements spelled out in the SNG for organizations and companies.

National Council of Churches in Bangladesh

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

Christianity in Bangladesh is obviously notable, but is this particular organization notable? Many directory listings confirm the current two sentences. Searches also found brief listings of what denominations were part of the organization.[76][77] Searches did not find significant coverage that provides in-depth description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the organization - coverage that would make it possible to write a reasonably complete article about its history, activities, finances, leadership, etc., instead of the current very brief, incomplete stub. So it does not meet WP:ORGDEPTH, and should not be the subject of a stand alone article. If it is felt significant enough to be worth a mention in Christianity in Bangladesh, I would have no objection to a merge to that target. Worldbruce (talk) 14:22, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Contrary to Tutwakhamoe's argument above, I don't agree that World Council of Churches publications are an inappropriate source for demonstrating notability of its member bodies. That seems to me to be an overly stringent reading of the requirement for sources that are "independent of the subject". I'm also mindful of the problem with deleting things as "non-notable" when they come from non-English speaking developing countries – quite probably sources to demonstrate notability exist (maybe in a library in Bangladesh?) but nobody here is going to find them – and deleting will just worsen some of Wikipedia's systematic biases. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 06:47, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
According to Human Rights Watch they are also called the "Jatiya Church Parishad of Bangladesh".

FWIW, I think that there probably are sources out there somewhere (read: in a library, in Bangladeshi, and not well-indexed), but with what we've got, the best information we can provide to a reader is a few sentences at the Christianity in Bangladesh (or alternatively, ,Freedom of religion in Bangladesh) about the reform bill they supported that we can verify at this time. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 04:08, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We don't really care whether the subject of the article is innovative or not, or whether it's interesting. All we care about is whether it is notable, as evidenced by a significant amount of coverage in independent, reliable sources. This means the coverage can't be in press releases, in company magazines, paid coverage, or brief, passing mentions. All of those random radio stations are important to some or the other community, and so have several local newspapers report on them, leading to enough significant coverage for an article.

And even those Billboard subcharts qualify? I read through WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS, but all of the different iterations of Billboard charts were confusing. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:41, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm not aware of any Billboard chart that wouldn't be considered a major chart for notability purposes. Barrettsmith's album charted on the Top Christian Albums chart, which certainly qualifies. It apparently also charted on the Heatseekers chart, (though her Billboard page doesn't seem to be online anymore, and unfortunately, it seems that the Way Back Machine only archived the page showing her placement on the Christian chart). --Jpcase (talk) 01:51, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all, Brooke here!

I meet several criteria. Here they are by number:

Criterion 1

a) My self-titled album release on Essential/Provident/Sony BMG in 2008 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006P8JUU2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3T96CHX2AB1K3&keywords=brooke+barrettsmith&qid=1684802487&sprefix=%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-1

b) Several notable print publications. I can find more if you'd like me to dive deeper into my storage space - https://bbarrettsmith.wixsite.com/bb-photos

Criterion 2

a) Billboard's Top Christian Album chart

b) Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart

(Maybe call Provident for a backdated resource. My former A&R rep is still there and he can confirm.)

Criterion 4

a) Opening act on Pillar's national tour "For the Love of the Game" in 2008. Many resources online covered this tour. Here's one - https://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/news/2008/01/28.PILLAR%20ANNOUNCES%20FOR%20THE%20LOVE%20OF%20THE%20GAME%20TOUR%20DATES.asp

b) Opening act on BarlowGirl's national tour "Million Voices Tour" in 2008. Many resources online covered this tour. Here's one - https://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/news/2008/09/03.BarlowGirl%20To%20Release%20First%20Holiday%20Project%20Home%20For%20Christmas.asp

Criterion 11

a) I was in rotation on several Christian radio stations in 2008-2010 across the country. 90.1 WMBI, K-Love stations, The Fish stations, etc. (Most cities we toured through played my music on rotation, if only for that season. Please call them or Provident for a backlog.) Positivelynonegatives (talk) 00:58, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart link. I peaked at number 40: https://books.google.com/books?id=EhQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA49&dq=billboard+barrettsmith&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjl1fiFoor_AhXakYkEHYwOBPYQ6AF6BAgKEAI#v=onepage&q=billboard%20barrettsmith&f=false Positivelynonegatives (talk) 01:18, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Charted on Billboard, so WP:NSINGER is fulfilled. 23:52, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Keep: In addition to the above, she has been profiled by the Arlington Heights Daily Herald ("Faith leads Spring Grove woman into limelight") and had her album reviewed by the Great Falls Tribune ("Barrettsmith's new album offers clean, but forgettable, tunes"); there is also a capsule (editorial, not user-generated) review in All Music Guide.

Keep: Dayton Daily News article is specifically about this singer, SIGCOV therefore GNG Jack4576 (talk) 01:02, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Her hometown newspaper running an article after she was eliminated during the semifinals does not constitute WP:SIGCOV. If she were a finalist, I'd just redirect the article, but she's not. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:09, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I haven't done much searching, so it's possible that there could be more sources out there, but redirecting this to the appropriate season article seems like a reasonable course. She was a semi-finalist, she was on multiple voting round episodes, it seems reasonable to assume that some people will be searching for her on Wikipedia. Deleting the article outright doesn't feel necessary. But the one source from Dayton Daily News is only about her time on Idol, and while I tend to support keeping standalone articles for American Idol finalists, we don't need articles on every semifinalist. --Jpcase (talk) 01:27, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

Comment Cunard Do any of the sources that you found mention her self-titled debut album? I'm somewhat leaning towards switching my vote to a weak keep, on the basis of her performing as an opener for so many major acts, but it would help if there's any coverage out there for her album. --Jpcase (talk) 13:50, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for reviewing the additional sources I found, Jpcase (talk · contribs). I think the coverage of her work as an opener and performer allows her to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria. According to this entry in AllMusic, her album is titled Alexis Gomez and was released on 31 August 2015. I searched for sources about the album and could not find coverage of it.
