- Delete My PROD was removed with no improvement. No indication this generic standard is notable – there's a lot of standards out there and would need sources and explanation beyond statement of existence. Reywas92Talk 13:46, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Merge into Standards Australia - Follow-on to AS3959. Even with good sourcing (which this does not have), the subject does not pass WP:GNG. It clearly fails WP:SIGCOV and nothing else points to notability. This is an individual standard that, as important as it may be in specific circumstances, is simply not that notable. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:19, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. Many standards, including this one, are adopted by government agencies and therefore have the force of law. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:25, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- The result would be identical if it were an actual law. On its own, it is simply not notable. The Standards Australia article is the right home for this info. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- This does not make them notable in and of themselves. Please refer to WP:KITCHENSINK. Wikipedia is not a random collection of information. TarnishedPathtalk 00:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

I could only find one reliable non-primary source at https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/magicite-review .

could be that "Materials World" is a very broad term, but I haven't been able to find any sources on it minus the website of the organisation linked on the article that writes the zine and one website linking to the publisher of the zine.
website claims that it's "widely accepted as the leading publication in its field, promoting the latest developments and new technologies" but I haven't been able to locate anything that would confirm this and I haven't been able to find anything that cites this zine at all.
article has had one singular source for 3 years (added 11 years after its creation in 2009 by what seems to be a single-purpose account as it made the one singular edit creating this page and then disappeared) and the body has remained almost completely the same since its creation. —darling (talk) 22:36, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

- Merge to IOM3. This is a real scholarly periodical: take a look at the sample issue on the Taylor & Francis website here. Skimming the table of contents is enough to see that this is a serious publication featuring prominent scholars at reputable institutions. Looking further for coverage of it I found that the description mimics (maybe too closely -- I'm too tired to pursue that thought) the material on the IOM3 website here, explaining that Materials World is their publication. So my thinking is that the magazine itself is not independently notable so far as I can tell, but at least the core description of it should be moved from this page to the page for IOM3. - Astrophobe (talk) 02:54, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to IOM3#Activities where the magazine's mentioned under the publications subheading and it's a membership journal. Wouldn't advise merging the article text because as the contributor above says it's almost a replication of the Institute's blurb. Rupples (talk) 01:36, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:BASIC, WP:MUSICBIO, and WP:NARTIST. The sources listed only mention the subject in passing, or are trivial local press covering minor events. The New York Times article for example includes her name in a long list of names. (FYI The article's title is "Art In Review" in the subsection of "At the Jumble Shop") The reviewer, Edward Alden Jewell, didn't even review the art only mentioning food was available and people could walk around and look at the art. The main criticism of the piece was directed at other unconnected art events in other parts of New York City. A WP:BEFORE search didn't yield anything better. There isn't anything here to suggest the subject is encyclopedic. 4meter4 (talk) 14:18, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: More than enough discussion of their work as a composer in Gscholar. A quick perusal shows the first 6 mentions in Gscholar to be decent. Oaktree b (talk) 14:59, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Oaktree b I looked at most of those (as in actually read them). They only mention Baetz in passing as a student of Johanna Beyer who performed with Beyer at the Composers’ Forum Laboratory Concert in 1937 (a work composed by Beyer not Baetz) with no other biographical content or discussion of Baetz's music compositions or work beyond that. The articles in question only briefly nod at Baetz, and do so entirely in the context of coverage of Beyer's music and its performance in 1937. Can you please point to a journal article that actually has "in-depth coverage" that goes beyond a passing mention in a single sentence (literally that is the length of Baetz's coverage in those journal articles).4meter4 (talk) 15:31, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, I've had deep dive in the sources, (the Jstor one in particular), Baetz seems to be a student of Beyer, mentioned as you said over, and over, in her article. I feel like we could selectively merge some of the Baetz article into the Beyer. I mean, Baetz is mentioned several times, but always as being "a student of" Beyer. That would make the most sense to me, rather than a wholesale deletion of this article. Oaktree b (talk) 20:28, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- That's what it seems to be, this thesis on page 52 [1] mentions Baetz in a footnote; that appears to be the extent of coverage/notability. She's a student of Beyer with some connections to her, but never rising to her level of critical notice. Oaktree b (talk) 20:35, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Comment, leaningKeep. There seem to be multiple articles discussing her as a composer, esp. "Never Call Us Lady Composers": Gendered Receptions in the New York Composers' Forum, 1935-1940 by Melissa J. De Graaf American Music, Vol. 26, No. 3 (Fall, 2008), pp. 277-308 (JSTOR 40071709) as well as the book The New York Composers’ Forum Concerts, 1935–1940 also by Melissa de Graaf (review by John D. Spilker mentions Baetz; Journal of the Society for American Music, Volume 10 , Issue 4 , November 2016 , pp. 511 - 514 doi:10.1017/S1752196316000420). Newspaper search finds local newspaper coverage of an art exhibition (Kingston Daily Freeman 31 Oct 1970) and several other mentions. Not really seeing a pressing need to delete. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:09, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- Changing to formal keep per additional sources found by Tagishsimon. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:46, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as per Oaktree b and Espresso Addict. I'd like to add too that as a female composer of note, she would be of historical interest there as well. I'm confident that going through books more will be turned up. Karl Twist (talk) 08:47, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. There is a consensus to Keep but it's unclear if newly discovered sources are sufficient to meet GNG.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:33, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. I personally believe the keep voters haven't demonstrated WP:SIGCOV. In looking at the sources presented by Espresso Addict and others above, the coverage appears to be very thin. There isn't any critical commentary on her compositions and no larger discussion of her work as a composer. She's largely only mentioned in passing in connection to Beyer. Further, it's telling that no one has been able to come up with a review of her music; which to my mind demonstrates a lack of notability for a composer. One would think a critical review of a concert where here music was performed would be locatable, but there isn't anything newspapers.com, The New York Times archives, or music magazines or journals. That would be very odd for a notable composer based out of New York. The "art reviews" aren't all that significant as they are all small local affairs and not at a significant art venue, and the reviews themselves don't have in-depth coverage of her art and work as an artist. They are more focused on her husband's work (the couple exhibited together), and the one larger art review in the Kingston Daily Freeman only mentions her as creating new pieces while people were watching at the art exhibit as a form of "improvisational art" in one sentence while her husband's work got a few paragraphs of coverage. In short this is all trivial coverage in my opinion. I also note the subject doesn't meet any WP:SNG criteria either. 4meter4 (talk) 00:19, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, we're aware that you believe the article should be deleted, but I don't personally believe that you have demonstrated a case for the necessity for deletion. None of us can access the book I mention, so the extent of coverage of Baetz is only known via the fact that a book reviewer explicitly chose to highlight her, which to me suggests likely to be significant. I don't believe anyone commenting here has access to specialist music library sources -- I certainly don't. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Besides incidental mentions, there's a couple of pages on Jessie Baetz in The New York Composers' Forum concerts, 1935-1940 by Graaf, Melissa J. de, pages 100 & 101, available via Internet Archive. Not sure if this was the book Espresso Addict is pointing to. More generally, an IA search for "Jessie Baetz" comes up with plenty of hits suggesting that she's not obscure. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- I am aware, but I fail to see how this essentially one event passes GNG. All of the music related sources are about the New York Composers Forum. The one you found, while in-depth (where the others are not), is so negative in its reception of the subject and her work I question whether this really lends notability/credibility towards creating an article on the subject. It looks to me like we have a composer who had her music performed at only one notable event at which point her music was harshly received and she simply stopped after that. To my mind that doesn't reach the standard of GNG, WP:MUSICBIO, or WP:NARTIST. 4meter4 (talk) 19:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Ima stop you at 'while in-depth'. 'so negative in its reception of the subject and her work' might be said about any number of people; it's not an AfD criteria that people must like her music. --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Tagishsimon I never said a positive review was required. However, WP:SIGCOV requires multiple sources with significant coverage and this is only one source. Further I take issue with this source as providing a neutral or balanced picture of Baetz. Reasonably WP:NPOV requires a balanced reporting on a subject. Ironically, the author of the book including this coverage was doing so to demonstrate a larger historic pattern of bias against women composers in music criticism; and really the main topic here was not Baetz and her music but the potentially unfair assessment of Baetz and women like her through a cultural problem of systemic bias against women composers of that era. Unfortunately, there is no counter-assessment from a contemporary author to remedy the historical critique.
- Ima stop you at 'while in-depth'. 'so negative in its reception of the subject and her work' might be said about any number of people; it's not an AfD criteria that people must like her music. --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

To my mind that doesn't reach the standard of GNG, WP:MUSICBIO, or WP:NARTIST. 4meter4 (talk) 19:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- My main concern in creating an article based on this one solid piece of evidence is we are essentially encoding the negative reception of Baetz from a single event into an encyclopedia article on her, and are taking one small window of her life and work to build an article which will inevitably skew negative. More importantly, there are zero sources with a broader view of her life and work as either a composer or an artist, which all add up to failing WP:SIGCOV in my opinion. In short, I believe the scholarship just isn't there to create an ethically responsible encyclopedia article. This is clearly a woman that deserves to be researched and potentially re-assessed. However, that is not our job at Wikipedia. Until that original research is done by academics in published sources, I really don't think we should have an encyclopedia article on her. 4meter4 (talk) 23:06, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: "Notability" appears to be based entirely on passing mentions. Looking through newspaper archives and JSTOR does not turn up any significant coverage. Am I missing something here? —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:43, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Flipping through the de Graaf book right now. Again, mentions of Baetz are all in passing: as being one of several "ultramodernists" (p. 46), her music was played at the Forum
twiceonce (p. 97), the audience derided her music (p. 101). What very little is mentioned sounds tantalizing enough to make one want to hear her music and learn more about her. But as de Graaf herself admits (p. 100) "unfortunately, very little is known about Baetz". —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:53, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

- You are missing pretty much all of WP:GNG here; notably, pages 100-101 are 'significant coverage' in GNGs terms, and the rest of GNG is met. Only knowing little about the subject is not a reason for deletion. --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- According to WP:SIGCOV, significant coverage would address "the topic directly and in detail". However, de Graaf's book does not do this. I agree that knowing little about a subject is not necessarily reason for deletion, but in Baetz's case there are also no studies, books, reviews, etc. that specifically cover her work. Whatever the worth of her music—and, again, de Graaf suggests that it may have been very interesting—that does not make up for lack of significant, much less sustained coverage. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 19:59, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- A couple of pages is in detail, CurryTime. It's not a passing mention. It is direct. GNG is satisfied. --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:42, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Four fleeting references that total about 2 1/2 paragraphs in a 290-page book is not "detail", Tagishsimon. They are passing mentions. They are not direct. GNG is not satisfied. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:24, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- SIGCOV is not determined based on the length of the rest of the source. 2 1/2 paragraphs is indeed significant coverage. A passing mention would be one or two sentences. SilverserenC 22:41, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- We are just going to have to agree to disagree on this matter. To me, 2 1/2 paragraphs of scattered passing references in a book that otherwise is not about her specifically, but about an organization of which she was but one member of many (and where her music appears to only have ever been performed once) is not significant coverage.
- My vote to delete has nothing to do with the possible intrinsic quality of her music, which may be considerable. If any other editors turn up reviews, interviews, studies, etc. about her specifically, believe me, I would enthusiastically vote against deletion. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 23:20, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

While performing clean up, I'm not sure there's a Wikipedia article here. There's WP:RS of the subject's claims, but not about the subject to establish notability. In fact, the RS reporting places doubt on the credibility of the subject's claims, and the RS coverage is only because a parliamentarian provided a platform. In addition, the coverage was not sustained beyond his initial 2016 claims. Basically, the RS does not establish GNG, from my read. Longhornsg (talk) 18:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

- I could go for it as a potential redirect (it borders on clutter, but redirects *are* cheap, and it'd make it easier for someone to rebuild the article if it ever acquires any sort of actual notability). Regarding minor Biblical figures, I can't say I know much about that. I would definitely still disagree with keeping a Bible figure of similar notability, but at the very least with a lot of obscure Biblical figures, I imagine there's been extensive, citable theological research about them (if not, then again I'd heavily disagree with keeping them on notability grounds). With this one, it's 1) some random person fourteen times removed from Muhammad 2) whose only source is a non-profit that 3) frankly doesn't even seem to mention him one time, let alone in any detail. Truthfully, I have no idea why the creator of these (I'll note previously deleted) articles even used this source when it doesn't mention the relevant subjects. Update: found him in another chapter. He's dedicated approximately 10 words in this entire thing. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 04:11, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- I’m not Muslim; I hope we’ll get Muslims joining this discussion.
- As I understand it, Muhammad was created before other humans and then his Nūr was implanted in Adam. Adam in Islam is a bigger deal than in Judaism; he’s a prophet and not just some schmuck who ate the wrong apple. Muhammad’s nūr was carried down from Adam through multiple descendants to Muhammad. So Malik is important - not just some guy but the carrier of Muhammad’s nūr.
- However, even if Malik’s important, is he notable if we don’t find something comprehensive written about him?
- I’m no scholar; this is just what I’ve found since deleting the speedy tag.

- @A. B.:, all figures of ancestor line of Muhammad are (not very, but average) a little bit important issues in Islamic studies, see my comment below, and the term nur is risky to use in case of Muhammad because of the important islamic basic ideology of Shirk (Islam), because calling him God's light (Nur of Allah, sometime being extreme and too much liberal in emotion) is an extremely controversial issue, because it can associate him in the part and power of God in Islam or Allah, which is prohibited in Islam as Shirk (Islam), you can study it on Sufi–Salafi relations, also search the topic in google, many contents related to it are available in english. 202.134.8.130 (talk)

Btw, I added the article to the respective interwikilink of the rest 6s. The most important islamic academic database maqtaba shamila (ar:المكتبة الشاملة) has also 2 entries when searched in google (see here). And for help, if anyone wants to learn Arabic they can follow 3 minute lessons of lesson b's of this video series on youtube.

- Redirect to Workers' Party (Ireland) (from which this group seemingly split). As an WP:ATD. Or, failing that, delete. I suggest this because, per nom and my own WP:BEFORE, I cannot find any material coverage to establish WP:GNG or WP:NORG. A search, for example, in the Irish Times or the Irish Independent returns nothing. There is one hit each (both trivial passing mentions) on RTÉ and the Irish Examiner. A far cry from significant news coverage. While a book search returns a handful of results, they are all largely passing mentions where the subject is discussed alongside other parties or in the context of the split ("splinter" or "offshoot" per some sources) from the Workers' Party. Hence redirect as an ATD. Not seeing sufficient coverage for standalone article. (We don't even have sufficient coverage to confirm whether the subject is even still running/extant... Which is somewhat telling).... Guliolopez (talk) 19:18, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

- Keep The freight forwarding market is significant and has been the subject of multiple analyst reports, some of which provide detailed analysis of participants including the topic company. Unfortunately most are paywalled, but that doesn't exclude the existence of sourcing that likely meets the criteria for establishing notability. For example, here is a link to a report by Allied Market Research and another by Global Data and another by Technavio. Mordor Intelligence also provides analysis on various regions - for example it includes the topic company in a report on the Contract Logistics Market in the Netherlands (and other regions too).

- Comment, while I commend HighKing's research, the sources found are market surveys which are indiscriminate listings of the companies in the market rather than significant coverage of CEVA. Cabayi (talk) 14:53, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Well, its a pity I can't return the compliment because by labelling the reports as indiscriminate listings, you're just demonstrating that you didn't bother to even look at the reports. These reports contain detailed information and analysis about CEVA. HighKing++ 09:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Since HighKing calls upon me to prove I've looked at their sources, here goes:
- alliedmarketresearch.com : "Some leading companies profiled in the freight forwarding market report comprises Bollore Logistics, CEVA Logistics, DB Schenker, DHL Global Forwarding, Dimerco, DSV Panalpina A/S, Expeditors International, Fedex, Hellman Worldwide Logistics, Kuehne+Nagel International AG, MGF (Manitoulin Global Forwarding), Nippon Express Co., Ltd., Transporteca, UPS Supply Chain Solutions, and UBER Freight LLC.". $3,456 for more detail.
- globaldata.com : "CEVA Logistics SA (CEVA), a subsidiary of CMA CGM SA, is a provider of contract logistics and freight management services." There's nothing in the paragraph available to show notability. $295 for more detail.
- technavio.com : paywall semi-broken by web archive, " The market report also offers information on several market vendors, including AP Moller Maersk AS, Agility Public Warehousing Co K.S.C.P, Aramex International LLC, C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc., CEVA Logistics AG, CJ Logistics Corp, Deutsche Bahn AG, Deutsche Post DHL Group, DSV Panalpina AS, FedEx Corp., Gati Ltd, GEODIS, Kerry Logistics Network Ltd., Kuehne Nagel International AG, Nippon Express Holdings Inc, Omni Logistics LLC, Singapore Post Ltd, SINO Group, United Parcel Service Inc., and XPO Logistics Inc. among others." $2,500 for more detail.
- mordorintelligence.com : The link provided is a list of 20 reports three of which feature CEVA's logo, priced at $4750 per report.

- I won't claim that I've laid out the $20,501 necessary to read the complete text of these reports. I don't think any of our readers will either. With these pricetags, it's the pricetag and the alleged insider knowledge that are the points of those articles. If the other sources established CEVA's notability then I'd have no objection to these sources further down the article. However, to require $20k to just establish the company is notable is the antithesis of notability. If notability is only established by insider knowledge, the entity is not notable in any rational interpretation of notability. It's a variant of Jasper Carrott's old joke, "I'm world famous in Birmingham."
- If the "detailed information and analysis about CEVA" shows CEVA's notability, please provide the proof. Cabayi (talk) 09:21, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Even better, put it in the article. Cabayi (talk) 09:42, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- What's your point? Even by your own arguements, these reports go far beyond "indiscriminate listings".
- For example, the alliedmarketresearch link says that it *profiles* those companies and if you click on the Table of Contents you can see section 10.7 is dedicated to Ceva under a number of headings.
- You misunderstand the purpose of sources and the manner of meeting the criteria for establishing notability. It isn't the case that the report *content* needs to show notability, it is merely the fact that a publisher has created in-depth "Independent Content". The globaldata report is entirely dedicated to Ceva and is a detailed profile. This is not "trivial coverage" and that fact alone means this source meets the criteria.
- The technavio report is similar to other research reports and the Table of Contents link shows section 10.5 dedicated to Ceva under a number of headings.
- For mordorintelligence, you realise you can click on the link to get more details of each report. For example this report profiles Ceva at section 6.2.4.
- The points you raise only really serve to demonstrate a lack of understanding of our criteria for establishing notability. It is enough that sources exist which contain in-depth "Independent Content" and Research reports (especially when they profile the company in questions) have long been accepted as meeting the criteria and aren't regarded as "inside information". They're no guideline to say that sources must be freely available, only that they are published. The requirement for "multiple sources" has easily been met, there are (even by your own admission) 6 independent analyst reports listed above and I've no doubt more exist too. HighKing++ 15:51, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- What's your point? Even by your own arguments, you have not read these reports. WP:PAYWALL allows the citation of sources behind paywall. Your assertion is that the material hidden behind the paywall must be presumed to show the business is notable. It's an equally valid assumption that the material behind the paywall is a copy of the Wikipedia article for which someone has the chutzpah to charge their users extortionate fees.If you have read the reports, please cite them in the article, along with some of their great insights, and we can all happily !vote keep. Cabayi (talk) 14:06, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
- So I take it (although you've yet to acknowledge your error) that you've retracted the "indiscriminate listings" objection now that you've actually read the guideline? Your new argument has now changed to not accepting the bona fides of the listed analyst firms. I don't have access to these specific reports right now but I've read analyst reports from technavio and Mordor in the past and it is for this reason that it is frankly ridiculous to say that it is a "valid assumption" that the reports are mere copies of this Wikipedia article. Perhaps you've not bothered to check out the available Table of Contents for some of these reports from which you can see the headings under which the analysis/profile of the company is provided? Perhaps you've also not read WP:PAYWALL - the first sentence reads Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access. and I can find no evidence you've even bothered to make a request at RX.

- Delete - the sources currently in the article are not independent from the subject - 1 is co-authored by an employee of CEVA Logistics, and 2-5 are press releases released by CEVA Logistics or their business partners. It is not possible to determine what depth of coverage the four market research reports provided by HighKing give to the subject. Given their unknown reliability, unknown independence, and very low diffusion (these are meant to be sold to a handful of companies), I choose to err on the side of what is available to us, and find myself agreeing more with Cabayi's case. There's simply not enough reliable material to justify a standalone article when all the content we should be using sits behind an inaccessible paywall. Pilaz (talk) 19:56, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- That's a new one for me at least. Technavio is one of the biggest analyst firms in the world. Mordor is one of the biggest research aggregators. Have you located something which says they are of questionable reliability or independence? Also, see WP:PAYWALL. HighKing++ 14:29, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - two reasons. First, it seems to me that a function described in the constitution of a nation state is very likely to be notable as it is likely to be closely examined by independent journalistic sources. Second, a brief survey of GScholar shows that there are many journal papers and books discussing the way this works in India. To the extent that it would be too much effort to discuss them all here. Conclusion: it's a function of the state, we have access to the output journalists and academics who keep track of such things, hence it is notable because it is noted.

- List of electroacoustic composers of color (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
De-PROD'd. Original (endorsed) rationale: I see no indication that this specific yet subjective and undefined cross-categorization meets WP:NLIST. "Of color" is a very American-centric phrase that essentially categorizes people as "white" or "not", smushing everyone in the "not" category into one homogenous mass with no respect to actual cultural differences that may be relevant. Japan, for example, might have a particular style of electroacoustic composition where it would be relevant to discuss Japanese composers (and their non-Japanese adherents) together, but there's no indication that every "non-white" electroacoustic composer should be grouped together in this way. (And that's not getting into how we may or may not be defining "of color").
DePROD'd by creator with the following rationale: Removed deletion proposal because this is a useful resource for teaching. My students (who are not in the US) use this page, as do other lecturers.
As much as I respect that, whether or not something could be useful to a small subset of people is not a basis for keeping a list. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 18:37, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. This list exists for the same reason lists of women composers exist. It's to simplify research for people who are trying to find representation. The history of this genre has been heavily whitewashed to the point that it's usually credited to being invented in France by Schaeffer. In fact, the origin was in Cairo from El-Dabh. He was not an obscure composer. He moved to the US and moved in all the important musical circles of the post-war era, but his contribution has largely been neglected. I'm using him as an example, but this is a systemic problem, similar to the one that has also historically impacted women. I understand that this is a 'smushing', but systemic erasure is also a smushing.Drcchutch (talk) 20:36, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Understanding "of color" as an exclusively North-American phrase is a very limiting way of framing the rationality of this list. It also conveys non-Western artistic practice, and art manifestations from the Global South, which, in the context of the history of electroacoustic music, includes a highly-relevant number of practitioners, past and present. Since this kind of list page is very useful for discoverability by the general public as well as by students in the field, deleting it would be a mistake, and the rationale presented for deletion would not speak very highly of the principles of the Wikipedia community. Kamen~enwiki (talk) 21:50, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- The assumption that all "people of color" are non-Western and/or from the Global South is, itself, a limiting point of view. The color of one's skin does not determine their artistic practice. Do you have any reliable sources which treat all "people of color" as coming from a single or related electroacoustic tradition? Presenting sources would be the most useful argument towards keeping this list. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:12, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- I never said "all 'people of color'" above. I clearly stated "It also conveys". Kamen~enwiki (talk) 22:27, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- But my point is that that's what this type of list conveys, unintentionally or otherwise - that somehow all "people of color" are the same. It's one thing to create a list of "List of composers from X" or "List of composers in X style", but "people of color" is a subjective term that homogenizes all these people. Again, if there were sources that discussed "people of color" as a specific group within electroacoustic music, that would be a much stronger argument for keeping this list - do you have any? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:47, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. I've been thinking about it and there's no obvious way to refactor this list and retain it's current utility. This list exists because of historical and ongoing racism in music education and textbooks. Racism lumps diverse populations together and sees them as interchangeable. Dozens of different countries and cultures become "Asian." Educators and researchers trying to mitigate the effects of this use the same terminology, because anti-racism is a reaction to racism. Breaking this list up into "Asian", "Black", etc, however, becomes more specific to a particular western country, rather than less. The categories used in the UK differ very significantly from the ones used in the US and neither is exhaustive. This list is of most use to academics, musicologists and students, who are a small subset of people, it's true, but they're also the experts in the topic. Again, wikipedia does have artificial, homogenous groupings like "women" in other places for very similar motivations, utility and audience.Drcchutch (talk) 08:19, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Following the discussion here, I'm going to recommend a keep based on WP:NLIST clause,
Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability
, as a list that is both informational and developmental. I would entertain other options that serve the purposes this one does including renaming the list. I currently view merge as a subpar but viable alternative.I will also note that an editor removed several redlinks from the list recently, and I'm not equipped to know if they should be restored per the intended informational and developmental purposes of this list. —siroχo 08:55, 27 September 2023 (UTC)- Those names were there for developmental purposes. Drcchutch (talk) 09:36, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- From a UK perspective the 'of colour' term does seem extremely broad in a way that centres whiteness, while excluding many people who experience racism such as Roma and Jewish people. More specific information is already there in existing finer-grained categories, e.g. someone might be in both a 'Indonesian composer' category and an 'Electroacoustic composer' category. Does wikipedia have functionality for selecting/grouping by category and presenting that as a meta-list? That would allow suppressed histories to be brought to light without the USA-centric 'smushing'. Nonetheless I'm going to vote keep because fundamentally I think this should not be framed as a deletion discussion and would be better as a more expansive discussion on the category's talk page.Yaxu (talk) 09:05, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- There is no ability to create a list on the fly based on categories. You could run a query using an offwiki tool to pull entries in Category X that are also in Category Y, but that's offwiki. I'm not sure what a discussion on the category talk page would have to do with keeping this list article or not, as regardless of the outcome of any categorization discussion, this list would still exist. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 14:01, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, first and foremost as a WP:CROSSCAT, but especially due to the generally racist overtones of lumping anyone not "white" into the group of "of color", whatever that even means. Racial identity is extremely thorny, and what constitutes "of color" is almost always going to be WP:OR.Even though WP:PANDORA is about redirects, I'm going to invoke it in spirit here as a good reason why this list shouldn't exist. Every single list of people could be split off into an "of color" version.I also find the pleas to NLIST's clause of valid "informational" or "developmental" list completely ludicrous grasping at straws. Any list could be "informational", and any list with red links could be "developmental". You forgot the qualifier of recognized, which this isn't. In any case, this is just a glorified WP:ITSUSEFUL and doesn't justify keeping this. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 13:39, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. For what it's worth, "lumping anyone not 'white' into the group of 'of color' is racist" is itself a well-known racist concern troll that attempts to support white supremacy by forcing every other ethnicity to act independently against it instead of working together to dismantle it. It's roughly the equivalent of union-busting tactics that convince workers they're better off negotiating on their own. Assuming you're operating in good faith, you should probably rethink why you think that argument is valid - and regardless, I don't think it's a valid argument for deletion here. The entire point of the article is to attempt to de-whitewash the genre. Etherjammer (talk) 12:09, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

(along with other similar ones made by others above) is wholly inadequate, per WP:RGW. If you have sources on which to base a list, then by all means, let's see them, and we can reconsider. But until then, WP:RGW and WP:NOR forbid this list. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 13:50, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. For what it's worth, "lumping anyone not 'white' into the group of 'of color' is racist" is itself a well-known racist concern troll that attempts to support white supremacy by forcing every other ethnicity to act independently against it instead of working together to dismantle it. It's roughly the equivalent of union-busting tactics that convince workers they're better off negotiating on their own. Assuming you're operating in good faith, you should probably rethink why you think that argument is valid - and regardless, I don't think it's a valid argument for deletion here. The entire point of the article is to attempt to de-whitewash the genre. Etherjammer (talk) 12:09, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:NLIST as the sourcing does not satisfy the guidelines at WP:CSC which states that a list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. I would ask that those arguing for or against this list for any reasons other than policy language should take a step back and calm down. Topics involving racial identity or social justice often draw controversy, and in the end the best thing to do is not argue for or against a topic for ideological reasons because that is WP:POVPUSHING. Our goal as an encyclopedia is to include the sum total of all human knowledge; even the knowledge that we may personally find distasteful for whatever reason. There is absolutely nothing wrong with including lists of this type if reliable sources exist which use similar language. For example Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of black Academy Award winners and nominees ended in a keep result because of the sources available on that topic. However, this list is entirely unreferenced and I am unable to locate any sources discussing "electroacoustic composers of color" as a group or set. As such the list is entirely WP:Original synthesis and is not suitable for Wikipedia because of our policy of no original research. While I appreciate and agree with the decolonial ethics of Drcchutch and Etherjammer this is a case where academics need to first do the work of discussing this topic as a group/set in published literature before we can create such a list on Wikipedia. @Drcchutch and Etherjammer, wikipedia is not the place to pioneer new decolonial scholarship, but we can include existing sources and topics of this kind and update the encyclopedia as new sources are published which decenter whiteness from the academic canon.

- Do lists normally have citations?
- The most pertinent article is Patel's 'Exploring Cultural Diversity in Experimental Sound' https://doi.org/10.25370/array.v20213269 (See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf1WNUQQ-DA&list=PLnr5LpGO6hU0siuZfAwYKe13PMzGhQdZN&index=8 )
- George Lewis, one of the artists on the list, writes that there is a specific style of white music production, which implies that being unbound by those constraints would have stylistic implications: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1513376
- Lewis also writes about "race-aware genre scholarship" in the Journal of the American Musicological Society, in an essay that posits this applies to every genre. https://www-jstor-org.chain.kent.ac.uk/stable/26908092
- I'm sure there are other examples, but again, I wasn't expecting a list to have this sort of citation Drcchutch (talk) 17:25, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Drcchutch Yes lists are expected to have citations per policy at WP:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists. For examples of high quality lists you can browse Wikipedia:Featured lists. However, lack of citations alone is not a valid reason for deletion if we can locate sources in a WP:BEFORE type search per WP:NEXIST. The issue here is that our notability language for list topics requires the identification of multiple independent sources which address the group topic of the list directly and in detail per WP:CSC and more generally WP:GNG. If you were to locate a couple of sources which discuss "electroacoustic composers of color" as a group directly and in detail (such as journal articles or books from a reliable academic publisher or even a article in a The New York Times or other similar publication) than we should be able to keep the list. It looks like the first source you provided above is one potential source, although it doesn't use the exact language of the list title which could be a problem for some editors in this discussion. (not for me though) The other sources look to be related but too tangential to the topic to be used to prove notability. Ideally we would have an academic publication that already has a list of "electroacoustic composers of color" which it discusses as a group. Usually "multiple sources" is interpreted as three sources with in-depth coverage of the topic at AFD. Please ask me if you need further clarification or have any more questions. Best.4meter4 (talk) 21:05, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Lists are normally expected to meet NLIST, yes, and content does require citations if challenged. In this case we are looking for sources that discuss the concept of "electroacoustic composers of color" as a set. An article which says "there is a specific style of white music production" doesn't discuss "electroacoustic composers of color" as a set, it discusses the idea of a culturally "white" style of music production (which could probably be a really interesting article in itself if there are other sources about it). An article about "race-aware genre scholarship" is the same. What you'd want is an article whose topic is something like "The most groundbreaking electroacoustic composers of color" or "Production style of electroacoustic composers of color". Not every source needs to mention every entry on the list (or even most of them), but there needs to be enough sourcing that the grouping is not arbitrary or original research. The issue with it now is that it is completely subjective - there is no standard definition of "people of color", and without outside sources grouping these people together, the list as it stands is entirely populated by making subjective judgements about peoples' skin color - which is original research. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:28, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- Good points PMC. @Drcchutch If this discussion closes as delete, you might consider trying again by attempting to better delineate a topic that more accurately reflects the exact language of the references being used. It's important that the language of the title of the article comes directly from the sources supporting the article. For example, if you located multiple articles on "Black composers of electro-acoustic music" you could create a List of black composers of electro-acoustic music. I'm sure there are many potential related articles that could be created from the available academic literature. Best.4meter4 (talk) 22:00, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

If you look closer, you will find that most of the highly-cited contributions in this GS listing (with the exception of the Everyday Aesthetics chapter) were not authored by the subject, but rather by other, similarly-named individuals at other institutions.

- Merge to United Nations Department of Global Communications. According to their history page, Development Business was launched by the United Nations Department of Public Information (now United Nations Department of Global Communications), so a better merge target, since I can't see anything that links this with the UN DESA. Maile66 is right that this seems significant, but I cannot find any independent reliable sources which would establish notability; the best I can find is this interview, which is not independent.

- Keep - In general articles on Masonic degrees are sorely lacking on Wikipedia to the point where it isn't a very good source of information on Freemasonry. Even the basic ritual structure is hard to figure out from the Wikipedia articles, which are in sore need of revisions. Also instead of having these giant articles with poor structure and organization, I am hoping to craft smaller pieces to try to clear up the issues, but it is going to take a while.
- Scottish_Rite#degree structures is a big part of the problem - It has about 60+ different degrees smashed into a chart that is hard for anyone to understand.
- Full disclosure, I'm both a member of the Scottish Rite and a Freemason - But the current slate of articles needs a larger organizational revision in some places. Jjazz76 (talk) 14:39, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- But that doesn't address the basic issue, that this degree doesn't seem to have the necessary attention from non-Masonic sources to warrant an article here.

- There is plenty of stuff on Wikipedia that doesn't have much if any "outside" interest. Pretty much most religious topics are relevant in for that religion but other folks outside would say "who cares."
- Again I'll wait for the discussion to conclude, but there is plenty that has been written on this degree. Just look at the cited sources as a start.

The book provides extensive analysis of Aunt Bee. The book notes: "The links between the aunt as mother, the nuclear family, and cultural nostalgia for a sanitized version of American small-town life are starkly evident across the episodes of The Andy Griffith Show that centrally feature Aunt Bee (about 55 out of 249 original shows). Aunt Bee mothers both her widowed nephew, Sheriff Andy Taylor, and his son, Opie, in the absence of a wife and mother. Aunt Bee was introduced into the Griffith bachelor household in the premiere episode "The New Housekeeper."" The plot centers on Opie's resistance to her and his eventual acceptance based on his realization of her need to care for him and his father and their need for maternal love and housekeeping order. Given that the show casts her as the maternal center of the Taylor family, she affirms the promise of the nuclear family as a source of nurture, resilience, and strength, offering cultural reassurance that the bosom of the family is larger than the biological mother (a reassurance physically embodied in the plump, matronly dowdiness of actress Frances Bavier)."
The book later notes: "In spite of the assurances of the maternal aunt figure, Aunt Bee transgresses this depiction of idealized American family life in subtle ways that invite us to critically examine this representation of the maternal aunt and her place in the family. First, her presence unsettles the insularity and stability of the nuclear family. By standing in for the deceased mother, Aunt Bee marks an absence in the familial triangle, creating a dynamic imbalance that unsettles assumptions even as it affirms the value of the mother and the ideal family. In addition, Aunt Bee belies the cultural promise of feminine fulfillment in marriage, home, and family. Several episodes revolve around Aunt Bee's need to ..."

The book provides seven pages of coverage about the subject. The book notes: "Bee Taylor is a warm and gentle lady. She has been baptized. She is Mayberry's Good Samaritan, and it is her tender heart, which is as wide as her kitchen, that makes everyone love her. It can truly be said that a stranger has never entered the Taylor house, because Aunt Bee makes all feel right at home immediately. Bee takes mighty fine care of Andy and Opie by nourishing them both physically and spiritually. The coffeepot is never empty, and the cookie jar is always full in Aunt Bee's kitchen. And there's plenty of homemade loving to go around."

The book notes: "The character of Aunt Bee, played by Frances Bavier, provided a stable domestic center for Andy and Opie. Like Griffith, Knotts, and Dodson, she had a strong theatrical background. ... The Andy Griffith Show provided her with her longest and most successful run—from 1960 to 1971. Unlike Griffith, she continued in the series when it became Mayberry, R.F.D. As the fussing and matronly Aunt Bee, Bavier's acting was always precise. Kindly, sympathetic, domestic, and somewhat naive, Aunt Bee was at her best when housekeeping for the Taylors or becoming "tiddly" after purchasing some tonic from an itinerant medicine man. Although she sometimes provided complications for Andy—as when she appeared to be dating the married butter-and-egg man, or when she went off on a visit, leaving Andy to maintain order in the house—she ostensibly served as a sort of mother-aunt-wife to Andy, one who looked after his home, son, and stomach. They cared for each other, respected each other, but there was not a strong emotional tie between them. Both characters, but especially Aunt Bee kept a tight rein on their feelings in favor of domestic and social propriety."

The book notes: "It's no surprise that a cook as wonderful as Aunt Bee can't keep her talents hidden under a bushel basket. She once entertained international palates when a Russian-American summit meeting took place in her house. And she even went Oriental when she opened Aunt Bee's Canton Palace, a Chinese restau- rant. Though an unpretentious soul, Aunt Bee has had her moments in the sun. She won the Tampico Tamale Contest with a grand prize of a trip to Mexico. ... What Aunt Bed means most of all to Mayberry is love. Whether it's her delicious cooking, her warm smile, or her caring hugs, nobody brings more heartfelt love to Mayberry than Aunt Bee."

The article notes: "At times, the benefits of expanded parentage and nonparent childcare orders over parental objection are clear: Opies need Aunt Bees, and Aunt Bees need Opies. Andy clearly invited Bee to help rear Opie. In the event of a falling out, any newfound displeasure Andy had with Bee would probably have nothing to do with Bee’s care of—or love for—Opie. Allowing courts to order continuing contact between Bee and Opie on Bee’s request and over Andy’s objection in order to serve Opie’s interests seems quite sensible."

- Sotirin, Patricia J.; Ellingson, Laura L. (2013). "(Not) Like a Mother: Black and White Maternal Aunts".
- Exactly as the title promises, this work is about aunts and their maternal role in black and white families. The passages on Aunt Bee are used, as many other characters are used, to drive the points made in the book about the idealized American family and other notions. This is a book, if we must take it down to the plainest of descriptions, about aunts; and not about a specific aunt. In plain terms, every aunt referenced in this book does not acquire the attribute of notability.
- Beck, Ken; Clark, Jim (2000) [1985]. "Aunt Bee Taylor" in The Andy Griffith Show
- Is every character in that show notable enough to merit a separate, dedicated Wikipedia article? This book reveals its hand on the cover, where we read that it's The Complete Guide to one of Television's Best Shows. The key word here is "complete." And, as promised, it has chapters dedicated to each and every speaking character that passed in front of the show's cameras. One is on aunt Bee. So, essentially, a directory of characters, enriched with photos and history. Mayors Pike and Stoner get their write up but they dare not wade inside Wikipedia.
- Kelly, Richard (1981). "Aunt Bee and Opie". The Andy Griffith Show.
- Another completist's tome. Aunt Bee appears in the sub-chapter "Aunt Bee and Opie", part of the chapter "Developing a Cast". Although the quote appended in the book's citation above appears promising, in reality it offers just a tad more than a TV Guide's presentation of a show's characters. This, too, is a directory. What it certainly is not is something dedicated, to any extent, to our contested, beloved aunt.
- Beck, Ken; Clark, Jim (1991). Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook.
- A commercial, tie-in cook book using the character's name to attract buyers. Nothing more. We've had soundtracks and other marketing offerings tied to the show. None of them, per se, rendered notable the character they used. Andy wore roper boots; we have a lemma on cowboy boots but not on roper boots, no matter how many times these boots got a write-up.
- I'm sorry. I loved that show, and I loved the character, but I'd be amiss in my work here if I were to base my suggestions on emotion or nostalgia. -The Gnome (talk) 11:30, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline says:
In "(Not) Like a Mother: Black and White Maternal Aunts", Aunt Bee receives extensive analysis on multiple pages. Even though she is not "the main topic of the source material", multiple pages of coverage clearly "addres[s] the topic directly and in detail"."Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
This article from The Journal of Popular Culture notes:
Owing to its "perpetual mass appeal in syndication" and legacy, many books from academic publishers have covered the show in substantial detail. There is no support in policy to discount the coverage in academic books for being too detailed. The Andy Griffith Show's last new episode aired in 1968. The Andy Griffith Show Book: From Miracle Salve to Kerosene Cucumbers: the Complete Guide to One of Television's Best-loved Shows was first published 17 years later in 1985. Very few television shows receive this level of coverage 17 years after they have finished airing. Very few television characters have numerous pages in multiple books about them.The Andy Griffith Show is a nostalgic American popular cultural masterpiece valid for all time. Consistently ranked in the top ten television shows (and number one during its last season), The Andy Griffith Show ran on CBS from October 3, 1960, through the end of the 1967-68 season. It has had perpetual mass appeal in syndication, and since its debut, it has never been off the air. Learning its origins, revealing some behind-the-scenes aspects, and reviewing many of the episodes have led to the identification of specific factors that have contributed to the show's phenomenal success and endurance.
- Again, the show might be notable -and this one certainly is- but its notability does not pass on to every character independently. I guess we differ on what stand-alone lemmas need keeping and what not. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 09:05, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Based on sources above. I agree that GNG does not say Aunt Bee would need to be the main topic of a scholarly work (meaning a book written entirely about her character). A discussion of Aunt Bee within a book about fictional aunts is fine for GNG, and a discussion about Aunt Bee within an independent and secondary book about the show (which they do appear to be) is also fine. Others may have a stricter interpretation of GNG, but to me we are well within the bounds of acceptability for an article. Rhino131 (talk) 12:58, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
- Greetings. Doesn't that line of argument make practically every character that appeared on the Andy Griffith Show notable enough to merit their own, stand-alone article? As Cunard wrote, there's a ton of written material about the show out there. -The Gnome (talk) 09:05, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- It depends of the level of scholarly analysis. A simple mention that a certain character appeared in a certain episode is not Significant Coverage. But the above clearly shows there is more written about this particular character. The fact that a lot of books have been written on this show means there are lots of potential reliable sources out there, which are what we use to determine notability in articles. We go by what the sources say. Rhino131 (talk) 12:54, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Meets WP:GNG per above sources. Allow me a few words.
- What's important in each and every case is that it be possible for someone to write encyclopedia article about the topic. The never-to-be-reached ideal is for every article to reach "Good Article" status. But note that Good Articles have no strict length requirement (WP:GACR), they merely need to cover the notability of the subject in appropriate breadth.
- It's not unlikely that most main or recurring characters on The Andy Griffith Show are individually notable given the place that show occupies in the American television canon and the syndication and coverage it's received over the past 80 years.

- Keep I was able to find one full-text source that I used to add a small cultural impact section to the article. It could definitely use expansion. I also found a few hits in Google Scholar: Aunt Bee as Mom, Stepmom, or Grandmom? This one uses Aunt Bee as an example to explore the legal status of non-parent caregivers.

True, but they accomplished nothing notable in their own right. They are only of interest as a brief stop in the biography of Marco Pirroni. I have added some text to his article to verify his brief membership in this band, and that's all that is necessary for Wikipedia.

Advertorialized WP:BLP (actually WP:AUTOBIO if you check the creator's username, because he didn't even try to obscure his identity) about a musician not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC.
For starters, the page was actually created at the title "New drill king from Ghana" rather than his name -- but we title articles with the subject's name, not with promotional marketing statements, so I've had to move the page.
But even more importantly, even the body text is written in a promotional manner, and is failing to document any specific achievements that could be measured against NMUSIC criteria at all, and it's referenced entirely to primary sources (Twitter, Instagram, the results page of a Google search) and blogs while not showing one shred of WP:GNG-worthy coverage in reliable sources at all.
As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which emerging musicians are free to write about themselves in an advertorial manner -- but nothing here, either in the content or the sourcing, satisfies our inclusion standards at all. Bearcat (talk) 12:14, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

The Wikipedian who nominated the article also appears to have some sour grapes over their own autobiographical article being deleted a few times, and based on the tone of their nomination for deletion I feel it was made in less than good faith.Captbloodrock (talk) 16:15, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

WP:ADMASQ for non notable periodical. Fails WP:GNG. WP:BEFORE failed to find any useful sources. Current references are from the org itself, a one para "description' of the item, and a 404/server failure error. Puff piece. Note that the item is stated to have won the 'Diageo Africa Business Reporting Award', an award by a drinks manufacturer about which I can find no significant coverage, thus have concluded that it is a 'Marketing Award' for Diageo (to sell more drinks?), and does not confer notability. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 09:33, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Other characters where deleted, that were much more relavant to the series, like Lorne (76 episodes), Lilah Morgan (35 episodes) or Lindsey McDonald (19 episodes).

Article about a band, not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. Music is one of those areas where self-promoting wannabes routinely try to game our rules by falsely claiming to pass NMUSIC criteria that they don't really pass, so passing NMUSIC doesn't hinge on the claim nearly so much as it hinges on the sourcing that can or can't be shown to verify that the ciaim is true -- but while this makes claims to passing NMUSIC's radio airplay and touring criteria, it's referenced almost entirely to primary sources, like the band's own social networking profiles and the self-published websites of non-media companies directly affiliated with the claims, that are not support for notability at all -- the only attempt at citing media coverage just footnotes the name of a magazine that purportedly published content about the band once in a listicle, while failing to provide the date on which that listicle was purportedly published. But even if it can be recovered, it still takes more than just one blurb in one listicle to pass WP:GNG anyway.
As I don't have particularly good access to archived British media coverage from a decade ago, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to such resources can find enough improved sourcing to salvage it -- but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to have better sourcing than this.

*Keep. While the recent incident has certainly put the spotlight on him, he has a well-documented history and as apparently had a leadership role among the Nazi-collaborator Ukrainian veterans in Canada.

Keep, though renaming or moving to a “Hunka controversy “ article would be acceptable. Both the man and the controversy over his being honored in the Canadian Parliament are notable.

*Keep. Wikipedia has plenty of articles about people who are known for one or few things - someone which is at the heart of a national/international political "incident" figures relatively high-up in the "encyclopaedia-worthy" list. Whilst Mr Hunka may have become famous for the incident, it does not appear as if that is his only history-worthy fact, given that by definition there may well be citeable research in the near future into his actual contribution to the war/his biography between the war and showing up in the Canadian parliament. Peter Kelford (talk) 19:29, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - BLP1E doesn't apply for the following reasons:
- Hunka was the central figure in the event, rather than being only incidentally involved.
- The controversy occurred in large part due to Hunka's overall biography and personal history, rather than some specific action he took during his visit to the Canadian Parliament.
- The reporting on Hunka in many cases covers his entire life as relevant to the central controversy rather than merely for color. Many journalists have focused specifically on Hunka's past and thus his life story has now become notable, even if he only originally gained widespread public attention due to his Canadian Parliament appearance.
- Hunka has been profiled as an individual in both Canadian and international media.
- Hunka has become involved in other events beyond his initial appearance at the Canadian Parliament. The Polish government has publicly announced that it is investigating him and may seek to extradite him to Poland. This constitutes another event in which Hunka has been implicated and of relevance to this article.
- Accordingly, the article should be kept and not moved to another name referring only to a single incident. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 19:40, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- 1. Anthony Rota is the central figure. 2. seems to contradict your 1 if the subject’s actions at the event were not central. He’s in the news because the speaker acknowledged him; not because he was a person present at the event, and not because he’s one of the one of the Canadian immigrants who’d been members of the Galicia Division. 3. The biography seems to be based on one blog post by the subject, reporting about the blog post, and incidental mentions elsewhere. 4. Here’s the crux: is there any SIGCOV from before the current event? 5. One Polish minister tweeted. I’m not aware that the Polish government announced anything. —Michael Z. 02:15, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

*KEEP without question. Although I'm sure scrubbing all information about this guy's crimes against humanity from the internet would be advantageous to the Canadian government and the Kiev junta, we cannot cover up information about war criminals nor people actively involved in contemporary news, such as his involvement in Canadian events and the extraction to Poland he is currently facing. This is a very clear attempt at censorship of the flow of inconvenient information and Wikipedia has a moral duty to not obfuscate current events or cover up history. 2601:602:8B80:7520:51CB:DA4F:C3FF:5553 (talk) 21:01, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Rename. He is not any more notable than any other SS officer. What is notable is the controversy surrounding, and thus I think this should be an event page rather than biography. It would be more informative to the average person looking this up to have a box on the impact of his being applauded in Parliament, result, date of this happening and so on. Any information about him specifically should be framed as secondary, as the details of his deeds are not as pertinent information. Focusing too much on the deeds of any given SS officer on Wikipedia is liable to glorification when framed out of context of consequences (which are why people are searching for this information). Keeping this as a biography page sets a precedent to continue to have articles for every former SS officer who ends up commended; whether in Canadian Parlament or through something like Operation Paperclip. People years from now who will not have the fallout of this fresh in their memory may have a distorted view of what happened if it is framed as an individual Nazi who received a standing ovation on his own merit, having to scroll down sections in order to find out that the Speaker in the House Of Commons resigned after he learned what he had done, or that numerous MPs spoke out against this after the fact in disbelief that the Speaker would have done this, citing having been misled. It matters to know that this was not accepted, and it had consequences, as the primary leading information in this article, above the individual Nazi. He could have been any Nazi that the Speaker befriended. Most of the information can remain the same, but there is no reason this should be a biography page specifically. He does not have a page because he himself was notable. We do not have pages for Holocaust survivors who have been mentioned in Parliament. Again, he is not notable on his own without this incident. (As much as I am certain many of us wish his actions were an outlier, and thus notable.) It should be a page categorized as a major incident or event in ongoing Canadian history.

- Move to an article about the event itself per BLP1E and NOTNEWS. I will note that the vast majority of replies here do not cite any policy as a basis, simply that he "needs" to have an article because of said event, which is notable but apparently lacks a page of its own. Additionally, I agree with @Mzajac that per GS/RUSUKR it is not particularly constructive to have many IP editors giving inputs, particularly as, at risk of breaching AGF, I will say at least a handful of these votes do not seem to be particularly interested in making arguments based on policy and guidelines.

- Keep - typically I'd vote against this, however, there seems to be enough cited material to substantiate an article. Oppose move to dedicated article about the wider event though I can understand the WP:BLP1E concerns, there is actually sourcing prior to the events of September 2023, with one even going back as far back as March 2011, and two from last year, meaning that I think this barely passes the threshold for being a standalone biographical article. — Knightoftheswords 01:55, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- 2011 source is a primary source (Hunka's letter, published in a blog). There is only one 2022 source: a short mention of Hunka participating in a rally in support of Ukraine. All other sources are after 23 September 2023. So, definitely, a WP:BLP1E. --Amakuha (talk) 03:40, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: WP:1E doesn't mean that you don't have an article on the event. It only means that you don't necessarily have one article for the event, and one article for people involved in it. This article is clearly notable, regardless of what the title is. Therefore, keep. As for the title, I don't think it needs an suffix, further context can be added where appropriate within references to him (eg the guy who quit because of it). Either way, it's not the point of an AFD. Keep. Macktheknifeau (talk) 17:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: Objectively fits all of the criteria of a BLP. NPOV? Check. NOR? Check. Verifiability? Check. And, if the extradition request goes anywhere, there will be even more content to add and secondary sources to cite. --Panian513 21:42, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Does not seem to meet WP:GNG, and WP:FRINGE is also relevant in giving this subject more notability than it deserves. Google scholar, books, news search turns up nothing. I encounter "accelerated resolution therapy" and "rapid transformation therapy" too, though. These all seem to be just marketing buzzwords, I cannot see a single news article or peer reviewed study or university endorsement/publicity. The only two sources which I could find to specifically refer to the term which wasn't on a therapist's personal website, was:
- [24] Which has a link to J Connelley's website (which is flagged as phising by my ISP so I'm not going to check it). The article seems to ramble about a lot of topics, it is not peer reviewed, and writes as though RRT is a cure-all.
- [25]. This one puts RRT in the same sentence as "tapas acupressure technique, emotional freedom technique, thought field therapy, body psychotherapy, and biodynamic massage". Sure looks like psuedoscience to me, and I cannot make out anything substantive about RRT in this article other than the author likes it, and that it can supposedly treat "anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, sexual violence, guilt and shame, social anxiety, rage and resentment, insomnia, addiction, and phobias and fears".

- There might be enough coverage to keep the article but probably only in stub form with most of the content removed. I think it should really only state who created it, the intended use, and the lack of studies to confirm its efficacy. There are some references and books on Google Scholar and ProQuest including https://www.proquest.com/docview/1418171748/17C57E2356AB44A8PQ/19 to support inclusion however. - Indefensible (talk) 23:39, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

- Well this is quite the mess. It does not seem to be notable, and it has a promotional feel; further, the name RRT is trademarked; and the topic is as nom indicates close to fringe medicine. The sourcing is poor, and worse than it looks:
- 1 is RRT's founder Connelly's page on Psychology Today, so it is not a reliable independent source.
- 2 is about "inspiring stories". I found a URL for it and the text does not mention "Rapid resolution therapy". If the claim is only the preceding sentence then it is just off-topic; if it's the preceding two sentences (of the lead) then it fails verification.
- 3 is RRT's founder Connelly's book on RRT, published by "Rapid Resolution Therapy" so it is not a reliable independent source.
- 4 is about approaches in general, not RRT, so it's off-topic.
- 5 does not mention RRT, but the paragraph it claims to support does, so it fails verification.
- 6 failed to load, appears to be a dead link. Its title is on PTSD so the comment on 7 and 8 below probably applies.
- 7 and 8 do not contain the words "rapid" or "resolution". The entire paragraph they support is off-topic, on PTSD not RRT.
- 9 is Elsevier's Scopus welcome panel requiring a login, no use for anything.
- 10 is just a Google Scholar search, not a valid citation.
It appears therefore that the article as written is entirely without reliable sources. The items retrieved on Google appear to be purely commercial. The items retrieved on Google Scholar are not much better, with "helpful tips for counselors", personal statements, and woo-woo articles such as Bowles ("For survival, humans need safety. Without safety, the thriving brain does not work to its full potential.") There is no sign of a systematic review as required by WP:MEDRS.
We should DELETE this article as non-notable, probably fringe, and making unverifiable medical claims. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:57, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Résumé-like WP:BLP of a record producer, not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. There are statements here that would be valid notability claims if they were sourced properly, but the article says absolutely nothing that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on his sourceability -- however, seven of the nine footnotes are simple directory entries that are not support for notability at all, one more just tangentially verifies a fact while completely failing to mention the subject's name at all in conjunction with it, and the strongest source of all is a glancing namecheck of his existence in a very short blurb, which isn't enough coverage to singlehandedly vault him over WP:GNG all by itself.
So no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source something better than this, but nothing here clinches his inclusion without better sourcing for it than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:44, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

- I'm going to vote to KEEP. I did a couple of edits in the past and have done more recently. I always intended to tidy it up and improve it but as it is with many of us, we have other things on the go. Sometimes a deletion nomination encourages others to get in and do some work as I have and another editor who may be just starting out by the look of things. OK, I've done some more edits recently. In voting to keep, I can say that he is notable for his film and television work, musical supervisor for The Jigsaw Man, see TCM link, and then there's Return of the Saint see Soundtrack collector link, and Space 1999, info at The Catacombs, see link here and more. A prolific music producer with a national top 20 hit for Guy Darrell and other successes. See below,
* 1960s British Beat Music Producers & Labels - Discographies - CBS Records - U.K. and European Singles Discography (1965-1969), at least 46 CBS singles produced by Irving Martin
* Discogs - 160 Credits. There's more that I could add. Karl Twist (talk) 13:11, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- None of those links are reliable or notability-building sources. Notability doesn't vest in using primary sources to verify facts, and can be established only by showing that he has received independent third party coverage and analysis about said facts in media. That is, notability isn't established by sourcing his credits to discogs.com, TCM, Soundtrack Collector, MusicBrainz, IMDb or Spotify directory entries — it requires journalists and music critics to be writing newspaper or magazine articles and/or books about him and his work. Notability is not "did stuff", it's "had independent analytical attention paid to the things he did in real media". Bearcat (talk) 15:54, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Note to the closing admin. If by some chance the consensus leans towards a deletion, could we please look at redirecting this page rather than deleting it? This would preserve the history. In addition to / through his prolific work as a producer, Irving Martin has worked extensively with both Brian Dee and Des Champ as well as worked on various music library recordings. Thanks.

- Reply to post at 15:54, 16 September 2023. The links I gave here weren't to prove notability. I just wanted to show the body of Martin's work. When you nominated the article for deletion on See: Revision as of 13:44, 11 September 2023 & (saved example), I could understand this as the references were poor back then. Since then I have done a fair bit of work on it myself, and prior to your response at 15:54, 16 September 2023, it looked like this at Revision as of 13:32, 16 September 2023 & (saved example).
The majority of the references now are relaible with about 14 from music trade (Music news) magazines. There are only about 2 or 3 from Discogs and a couple from MusicBrainz. The 1960s British Beat Music Producers & Labels - Discographies catalogues are I believe from music trade reports. I am confident by doing the reverse, I can find release references and reviews. From now on I will do my best to track down the music trade references for any additional releases. Keep in mind that the British Beat Music Producers & Labels catalogue caters to CBS releases. Martin produced for other labels as well. The majority of the others are Pye, Decca, Deram and Fontana. Martin's greatest production success was probably the Guy Darrell single, "I've Been Hurt" (a Top 20 hit). But Martin also had chart success with the Sounds of Glory album by The London Philharmonic Choir which spent ten weeks in the chart and was a Top Ten selling album. It actually charted again in January 1977, for just one week getting in at no. 50. He also had a degree of success with the group Sheer Elegance and the single he co-wrote, "Dance the Night Away", which while not a national chart hit, it was a radio hit and performed on Top of the Pops. With the mainstream television shows, Return of the Saint, The Sweeney, Space 1999 and The Jigsaw Man, composing and producing music for them. Well, there's a lot here. The part that is unsourced and is "Résumé-like" as you said is the only part that is unreferenced bar a small section at the end. Since taking up this cause after you nominated it for deletion, I was very surprised, and nothing short of amazed at the volume of Martin's work and who he has worked with.

This page fails GNG and GEOFEAT, with sourcing being deficient for SIGCOV. The current sole working external link is four sentences and insufficient for SIGCOV; other ref has a 404 error. Of the sourcing I can find:
- A highly brief listing and entry from the city council, which is non-independent and non-SIGCOV IMO.
- 4 sentence non-SIGCOV coverage from an unreliable source. Its about us shows no staff expertise or editorial policies.
- An ongoing project entry of unclear reliablility covering this briefly along with another location.
- <5-sentence non-SIGCOV entry mentioning this reserve while noting a case study that has since been removed.
- <5-sentence announcement on the creation of a new car park.
Overall, I am unconvinced that any of the sourcing meets GNG, and am surprised this passed NPP. I am also fine with restoring the previous redirect target, but because the BLAR was contested, AfD is the next logical step. Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 04:02, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

. Whereas this is a Victoria park, a different state compared to NSW. This edit you made claimed that this reserve in Melbourne, Victoria and another track part in a NSW park are possibly related. This is incorrect- if you want to refactor this to be about a track in a completely different national park, then nothing here should be retained and you should start a new article anew. Thanks.

- Also, [32], Brimbank City Council is restoring Green Gully Reserve, a former tip site located above Taylors Creek to native vegetation. Building on the previous years successful revegetation of 3,000 seedlings at Green Gully Reserve, Brimbank city council enaged Anglopac Environmental in Spring 2011 to install 6,000 seedlings on the site. The hill side has now been transformed into a forest of tree guards. The native species planted there will establish over the next 6 months and flourish with the amazing growth already witnessed from previous years seedlings. The friable and nutrient rich soils will help the seedlings to out compete the weeds and provide soil stability for the steep slopes and provide habitat for the flora and fauna in the area.

But I've analysed this in my nomination, whereas these two encompass IMO non-reliable UGC content (the articles include reviews by users with no subject-matter-expertise, and is akin to sites like TripAdvisor, that IMO doesn't help in notability).

See where the pin is, that is the grounds and sports area, then to the right on the map you see all the green space, so the reserve runs from Keilor Downs all the way to Keilor East.

It is true that I have not been to there (I do not live in Melbourne), but I have carefully inspected the map, and have researched this, with no sourcing treating this reserve and the other park separated by a road as the same.

Robert McClenon (talk) 20:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC) - Delete or Redirect - A review of the sources shows that they are all tourist information sites, and as such are not independent sources.

- The article as written does not establish general notability because it is does not establish independent coverage. Not expressing an opinion at this time as to whether to redirect to the football club or to the town. Maybe Govvy's arguments are based on sources that they have read that are not listed.

- Comment Have rebuilt the article, added more citations, added citation ideas to talk page. Changed info box over to Infobox park. Please review. Govvy (talk) 10:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Sorry to comment again. Of the talk page sources, ref 1 is a submission from Brimbank City Council on a proposed change to the park. Because they played a large role in constructing and updating the park, I do not believe it is independent. The other three new refs are clear trivial mentions. So I still support a redirect to either of the two mentioned targets. Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 10:23, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Elsie in the Tribes of Albania writes: "In the following decades, (after 1624) the Turks made numerous efforts to subject the Kelmendi, but with no decisive result"; Winnifrith says: "In 1638 Turkish forces had taken the field against this tribe to punish them for brigandage" while Malcolm 2020 just says: "in 1638 the local inhabitants of Novi Pazar and northern Kosovo sent a petition to the Sultan, pleading for action to be taken to defend them from the raids of the Kelmendi". If a significant battle did take place WP:SIGCOV from contemporary sources would exist which would warrant a standalone article, otherwise Ottoman-Kelmendi clashes can be sufficiently described in the Kelmendi (tribe) article.

- In light of that, I don't understand why you're nominating the topic for deletion with the reason that there are no sources that refer to the campaign as a more than small clashes (a term that I'd define as opportunistic and somewhat unplanned skirmishes between forces, but you may be using with a different meaning), and that there aren't any sources that support a standalone article. You've just identified several, and I pointed at one (that you had provided) that clearly indicated that it was a significant, well-planned campaign with a large buildup. Perhaps the title can be improved. RecycledPixels (talk) 18:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- Because I researched the topic first and found no battle of Kelmendi, the closest thing I could find in 1638 involving the Kelmendi was a punitive raid which is not addressed by WP:SIGCOV, directly and in detail. The one source that you mentioned is an WP:OLDSOURCES which does not seem to be WP:RELIABLE (see previous comment), and is not backed up by any contemporary source. Albanologist Robert Elsie’s history of the Kelmendi makes no mention of it (you can actually read the whole chapter here); neither does Malcolm (see first comment). The French sources that I found say that in 1638 the Kelmendi chiefs got their head cut off (!) following a punitive raid. This is hardly enough for a standalone article that's why it was added to the Kelmendi (tribe) article. Wafflesvarrg (talk) 19:36, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I have started expansion of the article. The topic is legitimately notable and it can be expanded into a very detailed article. It should be renamed to Kelmendi campaign (1638)--Maleschreiber (talk) 21:51, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Maleschreiber Bardhi has been discussed previously, it is a single OLD source posted on Elsie’s personal website with a warning and contradicted somewhere else, it seems to be more documentary-archival material than reliable description of an event; I doubt it is a RS but this can of course be discussed… nevertheless more than one source is needed to show NOT so please share your research and where you have seen a 1638 Kelmendi campaign “described in detail and at length by several primary sources” Thank you. Wafflesvarrg (talk)
- Keep I am in agreeance with @Maleschreiber that the article should be renamed as opposed to deleted. There is indeed primary source material and even some secondary source literature describing this specific campaign. Aside from Bardhi's report mentioned above and in the article itself, there is also a report by the Ottoman historian Mustafa Naima who presents the campaign in a very different light and, perhaps, more detailed manner than Bardhi - thus adding nuance to the topic. Naima's report is also discussed by the Albanian historian Selami Pulaha who critiques Naima's clear bias in portraying the campaign as an Ottoman victory. In short, if renamed and expanded appropriately, the article does have potential. :Lezhjani1444 (talk) 22:40, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

- Naima's historical account is published in Selami Pulaha's Qëndresa e popullit shqiptar kundër sundimit osman nga shekulli XVI deri në fillim të shekullit XVIII: dokumente osmane (1978). Pulaha also includes a commentary and critique of Naima's account, describing it as a biased source which was written to portray Vučo Pasha's campaign as a success, when in reality (as Bardhi mentions) the Ottoman army under Vučo Pasha was forced to retreat from Kelmendi due to heavy losses and a lack of supplies.

- First of all thank you @Lezhjani1444 for actually doing research this is really helpful to the discussion; from what you sent, the only one accessible one is "Kryengritjet e Kelmendaseve në shekullin XVII" but that looks like a simple mention, (please correct me if wrong):
Sultan Murad IV, fearing an unexpected situation, in 1638 ordered Vuço Pasa the Beylerbey of Bosnia to gather an army from Hercegovina, Albania and Serbia to start military expedition as soon as possible in order to press the main center of the movement, namely Malësia e Madhe. However, even this time, as many times before, ottoman attempts failed
this is good for the Kelmendi article mentioning the campaign but not enough to warrant a stand alone article. Is there anything else that addresses the topic directly and in detail? Wafflesvarrg (talk) 13:47, 24 September 2023 (UTC)- No problem, glad to help. Tetaj does write more about the campaign and seems to agree more so with Bardhi's account, although he does include information which from Naima. I have translated it and will include below, although apologies if my translation seems clunky and a little incoherent at times, I'm not accustomed to translating entire paragraphs of Albanian, however, this should give a general idea hopefully:
In February 1638, fearing the unpredictable situation, Sultan Murad IV ordered Vučo Pasha, the beylerbey of Bosnia, to raise a large army from his own pashalik and those of Herzegovina, Albania, and Serbia for a final expedition against the main centre of unrest in Malësia e Madhe; aiming to spare the locals no mercy and put them all to the sword. Being charged with this task, Vučo Pasha gathered over 15,000 soldiers, composed of Dalmatians, Croats, Serbs, Bulgarians, and Bosnians. While chosen for their physical strength, these troops had no experience in battle and war. Vučo Pasha arrived in Albania, setting camp above Lake Shkodra where the Ottoman army rested for 3 days. On the fourth day Vučo Pasha arrived at the city of Shkodra where he called upon the sanjak-beys of the city and Dukagjin, ordering them to raise a force of 1,000 Albanians - either Muslim or Christian - and attach them to his army. It is believed that Vučo Pasha was accompanied and supported by 9 sanjak-beys and 2 pashas with inferior ranks, Halil and Nahun Pasha. However, Vučo Pasha had supreme control over the imperial army. After all the preparations were made, he began his military expedition into Kelmendi. After reaching a mountain peak from which the inhabitants of Kelmendi could be seen, Vučo Pasha ordered his troops to expand into the interior of Kelmendi; keeping a guard of 2,000 soldiers with him on the mountain top. However, as the Ottoman soldiers entered, the local rebels rushed to blockade the roads from which the army had entered; entrapping them with with large stones and trees. As such, the Ottoman army was trapped and resorted to razing and pillaging the villages, gathering sums of loot. Aware of the threats against them, the Malësors had previously taken their women, children, cattle, and valuables up into the mountains to hide, while the men prepared for battle; also leaving the Ottomans empty handed. It is during this confrontation that the popular folk saying "it is not Kelmendi which fights, but the country" was invented. As a result of heavy snow fall in the region, the roads and passes which the Ottoman army had planned to cross in order to engage the rebels had become impassable. Having razed a number of villages and running low on food reserves, Vučo Pasha ordered his troops to retreat two weeks later. Meanwhile, becoming aware of the Ottoman retreat, the Kelmendi - under the leadership of Vuk Doda - attacked the Ottoman army, where it is believed that a thousand soldiers were killed. The Ottoman army suffered heavy losses and were routed, leaving many casualties and spoils of war behind them. When Vučo Pasha was informed of his army's defeat, he attempted to flee but was stopped by the sanjak-bey of Dukagjin, advising him to wait for the remnants of the army. After joining with the rest of the army, Vučo Pasha returned to Shkodra and spent a few days there before returning to Bosnia. Vučo Pasha was unable to subdue the Kelmendi by force and thus attempted to establish agreements with the tribe. For example, news had spread among the Kelmendi that if the locals, both men and women, were to surrender within a week they would be forgiven and compensated for the damages caused by the campaign. Despite this proposition, the Kelmendi refused and Vučo Pasha's attempts were unsuccessful.

- Above is my translation of pages 85-7 from Luan Tetaj's paper "Kryengritjet e Kelmendaseve në shekullin XVII" (2017) discussing the campaign of 1638. As for Naima's historical account of the campaign, I am not entirely sure when it was written, though I think it was part of his historical compilation of 1704. Naima's account (including footnotes) spans pages 110-5 of Pulaha's book, I can share the pages if you and others would like, although note that the report has been translated into Albanian. As for Pulaha's commentary (starts with a brief introduction of Naima's account), I can translate since it is shorter:
1638, January-February The Albanians of Kelmendi, Piperi, Palabardhi (i.e., Bjelopavlići) and Rožaje rise up in revolt/uprising and begin launching attacks, extending into Bosnia. An Ottoman army composed of around 15,000 soldiers under the command of Vučo Pasha, the beylerbey of Bosnia, is sent in order to counter the rebels and manages to penetrate into the highlands of Kelmendi. However, the Ottoman army is encircled and attacked by the rebels. During the fighting, the Ottomans suffer heavy losses of both men and resources, forcing them to retreat without confronting/subduing the rebels - whom were revered/noted for their unparalleled heroism and bravery. This is reflected in the works of Ottoman historians from the 17th century themselves, although their works present a distorted and false versions of the historical events.
(p. 110)Naima distorts the the events and defeat(s) of Vučo Pasha's army in Kelmend, portraying the campaign as a victory. [The defeat of the Ottomans] can be convincingly proven when referring to documents/sources of the 17th century. For example, Frang Bardhi, a contemporary source who lived during the events, testifies that while Vučo Pasha's army entered into Kelmendi during the winter of 1638, the army was encircled and that all the paths for escape and resupplying were blocked. The unrelenting attacks from the Kelmendi and the and the lack of food supplies placed the Ottomans in a very dire situation, the army was left with two decisions: either to break the encirclement or succumb to starvation. During their efforts to break the encirclement, the Ottomans suffered heavy losses in both men and resources, with Frang Bardhi stating that the Kelmendi had managed to kill around 1,000 Ottoman soldiers during their first attack. Even in Naima's distorted narration the heroism and bravery of the rebels in their fight for freedom is presented clearly.
(p. 115)- Regarding Naima's attestation of an agreement (Ahdname) reached between Vučo Pasha and the rebels of Kelmendi, in which it was stipulated that the latter would: no longer cut off trade routes and roads, pay tribute/tax (haraç) as before, and be resettled from Kelmendi to the nahiyah of Plava, becoming loyal subjects. Pulaha considered this to be evidence of Vučo Pasha's defeat or inability to fully subdue to the Albanian rebels, and Naima's attempts at embellishing the event to deny the Kelmendi of victory:
The arrival to an agreement clearly shows that Naima embellished the events and attempted to deny the Ottoman defeat. Via the agreement, the Ottoman state was forced to recognise the autonomy of these regions, which they had enjoyed in previous years, and this would only have been possible if the rebels had managed to defeat Vučo Pasha.

- Keep per Maleschreiber, plus the discussion I had with Wafflesvarrg when I hijacked Maleschreiber's comment thread above. Satisfies WP:GNG, so keep and rename to a more appropriate title if needed. I don't think a merge/redirect to the tribe article because some of the issues that Wafflesvarrg has raised relate to the accuracy and reliability of the sources. A standalone article is the place to expand upon modern interpretations of the reliability of earlier sources, not hijacking the tribe article where this subject might merit, at most, one paragraph before overwhelming it. RecycledPixels (talk) 23:24, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- @RecycledPixels I’m not sure how you can already vote and say that it satisfies WP:GNG, without “significant coverage addressing the topic directly and in detail”; we only have one source which may not be RS contradicted by two passing mentions that do not address the topic directly and in detail. At the moment it clearly fails to meet the WP:NOTABILITY criteria. Wafflesvarrg (talk) 10:24, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- I didn't already vote before this, I was asking you questions for clarification while I formed an opinion. This was my first and only bolded vote as a result of that discussion. I don't agree with your assessments about the sources. We have a contemporary report by Frang Bardhi that is significant coverage of the facts of the event. We have a modern re-publication of that report with some critique by Robert Elsie on the albanianhistory.com, as well as another source by Elsie, the 2015 Tribes of Albania, page 31, he uses Bardhi's writing again in mentioning the attacks by the Kelmendi on caravans in Albania, Bosnia and Serbia so clearly he felt that Bardhi's writing was factual, albeit possibly embellished. In mentioning Bardhi's work in that book, he cites "Injac Zamputi (ed.), Relacione mbi gjendjen e Shqipërisë veriore e të mesme në shekullin XVII. Teksti origjinal dhe përkthimi nga Injac Zamputi. Burime dhe materiale për historinë e Shqipërisë, 3. Vëllimi I (1610 – 1634), Vëllimi II (1634 – 1650) [Reports on Conditions in Northern and Central Albania in the Seventeenth Century. Original Texts and Translations by Injac Zamputi. Sources and Material on the History of Albania, 3. Vol. I (1610 – 1634), Vol. II (1634 – 1650)]. Tirana: Universiteti shtetëror i Tiranës, 1963, vol 1, pp 276-278" (citation 35). The webpage reprint of Bardhi's writing also cites "Peter Bartl (ed.), Albania Sacra, 3 (Wiesbaden 2014), p. 137-140" and "Injac Zamputti (ed.), Dokumente për historinë e Shqipërisë (1623-1653) (Sankt Gallen & Prishtina 2015), p. 193-198." so there's clearly more written about this event and/or Bardhi's writing on the event (that I haven't attempted to access since those were clearly written in a language I don't understand and don't have the time or interest to translate). Those by themselves establish WP:GNG, without even considering the other sources brought up here, such as Lavisse, Lenormant, and others. RecycledPixels (talk) 15:27, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Elsie is using the part of the document that is backed up by other sources (Kelmendi attacking merchants, mentioned by everyone) Elsie is skipping the part we are talking about which is also how we should proceed here per wiki standards. A mere mention of an unnamed event doesn’t help with GNG, neither does a single possibly unreliable source from 1638 not corroborated by other independent sources or by recent research by modern historians. “To be suitable for a stand-alone article a topic needs to show significant coverage in reliable sources” none of the sources you mentioned satisfy that. Bartl and Zamputti only present archived documents related to Albanian history. If you look it up and translate all that it is easy to check. Lavisse is also just a mention, Lenormant contradicts Bardhi and is not enough for an article (full quote is on the Kelmendi article). You need to look at the type of content to see if they provide SIGVOV not just at their existence. At the moment we do not have anything significant or reliable to warrant this article.

We have a modern re-publication of that report with some critique by Robert Elsie on the albanianhistory.com, as well as another source by Elsie, the 2015 Tribes of Albania, page 31, he uses Bardhi's writing again in mentioning the attacks by the Kelmendi on caravans in Albania, Bosnia and Serbia so clearly he felt that Bardhi's writing was factual, albeit possibly embellished. In mentioning Bardhi's work in that book, he cites "Injac Zamputi (ed.), Relacione mbi gjendjen e Shqipërisë veriore e të mesme në shekullin XVII. Teksti origjinal dhe përkthimi nga Injac Zamputi. Burime dhe materiale për historinë e Shqipërisë, 3. Vëllimi I (1610 – 1634), Vëllimi II (1634 – 1650) [Reports on Conditions in Northern and Central Albania in the Seventeenth Century. Original Texts and Translations by Injac Zamputi. Sources and Material on the History of Albania, 3. Vol. I (1610 – 1634), Vol. II (1634 – 1650)]. Tirana: Universiteti shtetëror i Tiranës, 1963, vol 1, pp 276-278" (citation 35). The webpage reprint of Bardhi's writing also cites "Peter Bartl (ed.), Albania Sacra, 3 (Wiesbaden 2014), p. 137-140" and "Injac Zamputti (ed.), Dokumente për historinë e Shqipërisë (1623-1653) (Sankt Gallen & Prishtina 2015), p. 193-198." so there's clearly more written about this event and/or Bardhi's writing on the event (that I haven't attempted to access since those were clearly written in a language I don't understand and don't have the time or interest to translate). Those by themselves establish WP:GNG, without even considering the other sources brought up here, such as Lavisse, Lenormant, and others. RecycledPixels (talk) 15:27, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- @RecycledPixels I’m not sure how you can already vote and say that it satisfies WP:GNG, without “significant coverage addressing the topic directly and in detail”; we only have one source which may not be RS contradicted by two passing mentions that do not address the topic directly and in detail. At the moment it clearly fails to meet the WP:NOTABILITY criteria. Wafflesvarrg (talk) 10:24, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Per Maleschreiber, sources clearly indicate that it wasn't just some clashes but an full Ottoman campaign against the Kelmendi tribe. I think its also important to note that it is very strange, that the User who joined Wikipedia a few days ago directly starts to nominate 2 articles of another user for deletion. Based.shqiptar.frompirok (talk) 21:00, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Please read the prior comments so you can familiarise yourself with the discussion. Maleschreiber has not brought source(s) (yet) but the same source (Bardhi) that I was already discussing with RecycledPixels, an OLD source that might be unreliable since it comes with a warning and is also contradicted by other mentions. At the moment we only have passing mentions which do not address that event in details and are not enough to demonstrate GNG and SIGCOV. Not sure I understand your last comment but you're welcome to comment on my tp. Wafflesvarrg (talk) 13:47, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: To be clear with all the participants (and with the administrator closing this AfD), since I don't think I can keep answering such a large number of editors for long. Frang Bardhi's report from June 1638, has value as a historical source, but its reliability may be subject to scrutiny. Robert Elsie has characterised Bardhi's account as "somewhat glorified" which suggest that the report contains elements of exaggeration, myth-making, or bias that may have distorted the true nature of the event (looking now at new source provided by Lezhjani1444). Here are the other two sources mentioned, translated from French, which contradict "Bardhi" [34].:
- Ernest Lavisse - Histoire générale du IV siècle á nos jours: Les guerres de religion, 1559-1648. P. 894 [35]
All the mountains were engulfed by the hordes of Doudjé-Pasha: the majority of the Klementi, Albanians of the Catholic religion, were transplanted to Serbia and Macedonia (1638); and Sultan Mourad IV, to whom Albanian heads were brought, with their hair divided into four braids and decorated with silver chains, joked about it with the nobles of his court, saying: “See how well Doudjé adorned the heads of my subjects of Albania.“ This servitude of the Albanian and Serbian mountains was to last sixty years.
- François Lenormant - Turcs et Monténégrins P. 129 [36]
Despite so much suffering, they still resisted in 1638, when Sultan Mourad IV, freed from the war with Persia after the capture of Baghdad, charged Doudjé-Pasha, former bostandji-bachi, appointed governor of Bosnia. (...) Doudjé-Pasha's expedition opened in the heart of winter. The courageous mountaineers, although weakened by famine and lacking ammunition, put up a desperate defense. They rolled huge blocks of rock from the tops of the mountains onto the Turkish army. The death of their knèze Vokodoud, killed in a fight, and a few days after that of the voivode Hotasch, whom the Pasha himself surprised by climbing an inaccessible peak with crampons, deprived the Clementi of their best chiefs and determined their submission. The leaders of the tribe were decapitated, and their heads sent to Constantinople.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting this discussion as currently, there is No consensus. A couple of comments, first, the time stamps on this AFD are all out-of-whack because the AFD wasn't transcluded correctly. It was started 9/14 but didn't get placed on the daily log page until 9/18. Secondly, User:Wafflesvarrg, please do not bludgeon this discussion. Do not respond to every comment here that has an opposing point of view with a contradictory comment. Finally, AFD is not the proper location for a content discussion so please do not get into a debate of minute details on each source that is better to have on an article talk page. This is a general discussion on whether this article should be Kept, Deleted, Merged or Redirected.

- Comment: Apologies all for hijacking the conversation earlier, I'm a newbie to this! I am summing-up all the findings below and on the article TP. I am not against a rename to "1638 Ottoman expedition against Kelmendi" for example, but is that enough material for an article? wouldn’t it make more sense to create a section with that name in the Kelmendi (tribe) article?. I will let the community decide and will do my best to improve the topic following whatever decision is taken. If new sources are found please share. Thank you to User:Lezhjani1444 for all his research, wishing everyone a good day. Wafflesvarrg (talk) 12:30, 29 September 2023 (UTC) edited (typo) Wafflesvarrg (talk) 13:02, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
In February 1638, Sultan Murad IV commanded Vučo Pasha, the beylerbey of Bosnia, to lead a 15,000-strong army, composed of soldiers of various origins (Dalmatians, Croats, Serbs, Bulgarians, and Bosnians), to quell unrest in Malësia e Madhe and to punish the local tribes for brigandage. After stopping in Shkodër to receive an additional 1,000 Albanian soldiers, the military expedition entered the the highlands of Kelmendi. The challenging terrain and heavy snowfall compelled the Ottomans to resort to pillaging and razing villages in search of supplies. Anticipating the Ottoman threat, local Kelmendi rebels concealed their families, cattle, and valuables in a grotto in the mountains. Outcome of the campaign differs depending on sources: According to Ottoman historian Mustafa Naima, and to 19th-century French historians Ernest Lavisse and François Lenormant (using Ottoman and Western sources) Kelmendi leaders were caught and beheaded, their heads were then sent to the Sultan in Constantinople, while the surviving members of the tribe were relocated to Pristina and other regions. Austrian historian Spiridon Gopčević writes that starved to death, the Kelmendi surrendered after the death of their leaders Vukodud and Hotaš, and that the majority of the tribe was relocated to Pristina. According to Albanian bishop Frang Bardhi, and to modern Albanian scholars (using Bardhi’s report as source) the Ottoman force found itself encircled and attacked by the Kelmendi, during the confrontation a thousand Ottoman soldiers were killed, leading to the Ottoman force retreat to Bosnia.

- Keep - There are sources and there are questions about the sources. I suspect this article is not the correct final form, and a rename of the article may very well be in order, but that is not an AfD outcome. A redirect or merge does not seem like a good outcome in this case, as there is some subject here that has not been shown to be a clear sub topic of an existing target. The sources that are identified are sufficient to pass GNG for an article about these events. It may not be this article but improvement by way of renaming and refactoring the article would be a content discussion going forward and is out of scope of AfD.

- Comment. Can someone point to which secondary RS provide SIGCOV of this skirmish as a defined event? If the only sources with more than a passing mention are primary then they unequivocally do not contribute to notability and the article should be deleted.
