All the coverage relates it to being set up by people from Cambridge Analytica following the scandal Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal. Fails WP:CORP. LibStar (talk) 01:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, Technology, and England. LibStar (talk) 01:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Went into voluntary liquidation in October 2023 according to documents filed at Companies House.[1]. No coverage found of this, so assuming this is the same company it suggests Auspex Int. isn't notable. Its website appears non-operational. Attracted some coverage in the wake of Cambridge Analytica: on its formation, BBC [2] and FT [3] Later coverage: Byline Times [4] The company is mentioned in a number of books relating to Cambridge Analytica. Possible redirect to Cambridge Analytica#Aftermath, if as looks likely, there is insufficient depth of coverage to pass WP:NCORP for a separate article. Rupples (talk) 02:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete It is quite unknown for the most part. Few have heard about it probably. Rrjmrrr (talk) 21:25, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - it easily passes WP:SIGCOV, based on several articles about it in reliable sources. If it needs to be updated, then that can be done via ordinary editing processes. Bearian (talk) 13:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Cambridge Analytica#Aftermath. Just found out on examining the sources that three had been posted across by the article's creator from Data Propria, a company also set up in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and were about that company with no mention of Auspex, so not relevant; I've now removed these. The Data economy source is written by the MD of Auspex, Mark Turnbull and Auspex is only mentioned; the article is about Cambridge Analytica. The two BBC sources are the same so I've now consolidated and the BBC and Forbes sources are about the company starting up —
no follow up coverage of the company has been identified. This does not amount to significant coverage under WP:ORGDEPTH. No reporting found of the company's liquidation, so not remembered for its few years of activity, but merely as fallout from Cambridge Analytica. Rupples (talk) 18:08, 8 April 2024 (UTC) Correction: the only SIGCOV identified so far is the Byeline Times article[5], but more such sources are required to fulfill the multiple sources requirement. The book sources are mere mentions of its start up, again in the light of Cambridge Analytica. Rupples (talk) 18:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: Subject is discussed at length in numerous notable sources.--2601:345:0:52A0:E165:4C72:14FB:3B9A (talk) 23:55, 11 April 2024 (UTC)— 2601:345:0:52A0:E165:4C72:14FB:3B9A (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep the BBC, FT and Byline Times coverage is enough to pass NCORP – the Byline Times article in particular, published three years after Auspex's founding, is strong evidence of some enduring notability. – Teratix ₵ 15:45, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Cambridge Analytica#Aftermath seem sensible as WP:ATD. This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The Keep !voters don't appear to grasp the criteria for establishing notability - being mentioned in "reliable sources" of being discussed at length in "reliable sources" is not the full extent of the tests. It is the content of those articles that matter. The only source that meets our critieria is this Byline Times article, the BBC article acknowledges relying entirely on their website and a Press Release, the Forbes piece relies entirely on information provided by someone connected with the company, both fails ORGIND. There does not appear to be sufficient sources to meet the criteria. HighKing++ 10:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- You might have overlooked the FT source, which should satisfy your concerns. – Teratix ₵ 12:11, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect. I don't think the FT article passes WP:ORGDEPTH, but more importantly, it's so closely linked with the CA scandal I don't see how it would make sense for coverage to be put on a standalone article. Alpha3031 (t • c) 08:03, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Unreferenced article since 2009, no evidence of notability in the text beyond the fact that he has play some shows, which does not pass WP:MUSICBIO. Searching for coverage brings up nothing on this artist beyond start concert and festival listings. InDimensional (talk) 21:03, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

The only notable thing in the article seems to be a 3rd prize in a dubious "Song of the Year" award in Estonia. There is a citation but it links to a recording of a radio show which is in Estonian. Searching for information about this award or any coverage of the subject brings up absolutely nothing apart from the artist's socials. Additionally the article was written by the subject or his staff as WP:PROMO InDimensional (talk) 20:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

No evidence of notability in the article. The closest claim to notability is a Grammy nomination which was for another artists album that he had a hand in writing one song on. Searching for coverage brings up an interview with him on the PreSonus blog, which is just the subject talking about himself and not significant enough to warrant a Wikipedia article.

PROD was contested in 2011, but there have been no meaningful changes to the article since then besides the addition of a book cover image. WP:BEFORE provides no direct information on the book besides a few advertisements and passing mentions, and some extremely brief quotations or citations in works that describe the whole of H. G. Wells' career. The quotation it is "best known for" appears once in the literature relevant to it that I could find (which I do not have access to): [6] Reconrabbit 20:27, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: Some fairly decent length reviews (coverage?) in The Daily Telegraph, The Hopewell News and NYT. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 20:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, or Redirect to H. G. Wells bibliography, where it is mentioned. I find many google scholar hits that are likely related to the quotation mentioned in the nom's statement, but I don't think any of these are likely to show notability; I expect they're all just direct quotes or passing mentions. I do think this is plausibly notable, but what I'm finding (aside from the contemporary reviews noted above) are discussions of the contents of the book in service of biographies of Wells, rather than literary criticism (or whatever) in its own right. This article/redirect would probably be a good place to expand on some details of Wells's life that would be too much detail for his main article. Since, as the nom notes, no one has done that in more than a decade, I think a redirect is fine for now. doi:10.1007/978-3-030-26421-5_24 has a couple of pages loosely related to the book starting around pg 382; this seems typical of the scholarly/biographical use of this book. I don't think it would be a good idea to write an article solely on the strength of the reviews found by ARandomName123. -- asilvering (talk) 21:01, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: As noted by asilvering, most of what I could find in regards to this work were quotes from it or references to it in service of demonstrating something about Wells' points of view. Another essay that quotes the book fairly often, though never making a direct discussion of the book, rather using it as example to talk about Wells: [7] does this confer the kind of coverage that could be used at all to discuss the book itself? It doesn't look like it to me. Also, Google brings up a one-sentence review in an unrelated article from 1940 in the Indian Express: [8] Reconrabbit 02:54, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Following the elucidation of sources from TWL and Newspapers.com I would like to withdraw this nomination. Currently I do not have the time-requirement to access the Library but will work on integrating these sources into the article once I gain access in a couple weeks. In the future I will refrain from making any further deletion proposals or nominations until after I have searched for and reviewed sources from TWL as this was a blind spot I didn't fully realize until now, especially in the non-natural sciences articles.

- @ARandomName123: If you think it would be beneficial to email me images of your sources, I would appreciate it. Though, if there're still issues with the article in a month, I'll be able to check myself and make any of the requisite improvements from the library, so it may not be worth your effort.

Previously prodded, deprodded, and then redirected, but there is no good redirect target. Could be merged into culture media or enrichment culture but unclear if topic is notable and deletion may be best. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Organisms-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 21:20, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete seems to be a term that is only used in a handful of papers coming out of Nabil Hegazi's lab (and I'm not sure he's notable either). The article describes it as "sole use of plant material as a microbial culture media"; the sources discuss preparing culture media by mixing liquified or dried plant material with agar. While the red algae sources of agar could be considered plants, the cited sources don't seem to be doing so. The topic appears to be a non-notable form of an enrichment culture.

Fails WP:NATFEAT. "Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. [...] If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river".

While the WP:SURMOUNTABLE issues noted in the first AfD are addressed (incl. the self-penned stuff about "his passion for cars and the motor industry", "[being] instrumental in establishing Navan's Energy Radio [..] from a garden shed" and "his love of drama"), there is still nothing to indicate that the applicable notability criteria are met. In terms of:
- WP:CREATIVE (applying to creative professionals) there are no sources to suggest that the subject is "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successor".
- WP:ENT (applying to voice actors) the subject doesn't appear to have had "significant roles in multiple notable films [..] or other productions".
- WP:SIGCOV/WP:GNG, the only sources we have (and the only sources found after several years of trying to address COI/AUTOBIO/PROMO/NOTCV concerns) are either not independent (like pulseny.com, radioluxembourg.co.uk, allaccess.com, which are all webpages/press releases from the subject's employers) or not significant (like radiowaves.fm, manchestereveningnews.co.uk, Independent Woman, worcesternews.co.uk, Business Post, in which the subject is BARELY mentioned in passing). The ONLY two pieces which deal with the subject in any depth, and which are not news releases by the subject's employers, are the two low-ball interview pieces. On benztown.com and Meath Chronicle. One a small local paper and the other a speciality industry outlet. Both the type interviews, per WP:INTERVIEW#Notability, which are "broadly unhelpful in establishing notability".
I am, TBH, annoyed at myself for staying on the fence in the second AfD. And remain baffled by the "keep" recommendations in the first AfD (indicating that two of the five refs somehow and unequivocally supported GNG; When they're the same refs we have today; Still clearly not independent and/or passing mentions.) Anyway, while I'm loathe to relitigate, as the last AfD was "no consensus", and as (despite significant effort) I can't justify removing the hatnotes, I'm left with AfD (again).
TLDR version. Subject is a jobbing radio presenter. Like any other. Who also works as a voice artist. Doing station idents and the like. And was once an extra in a film. With insufficient coverage to expand the article beyond a NOTCV "list of jobs" the subject's had. And no independent biographical coverage contributing to notability. The WP:COI and WP:NOTPROMO issues (clear in the article's initial creation) also remain difficult to overlook. Guliolopez (talk) 15:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this article about an actor, and added a reference, but cannot see significant coverage which would meet WP:GNG.

Agree we can't see that the aliases actually correspond to her. It seems that both obituaries are of different people.

- If by "source 2" you mean the engagement notice for "Miss Lucy Grunther" in the NY Times, I doubt whether that qualifies as independent of the subject - it may well be a paid advertisement.

- Delete - WP:ENT Would have been helpful to see the original 2020 deletion nomination version of this article, but I find no access to it on Wikipedia. This current article seems to have been created as a new article. The article claims, "After starring in several porn loops in the early 1970s ... " but only two films listed before her so-called breakthrough. Of her five films listed, one was an unaccredited role, one was a short film. In one, she plays herself. There is just nothing that justifies keeping this. — Maile (talk) 16:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. There's more cultural content for this subject than just a description of the contents. White cake, sometimes also called silver cake, isn't just a yolkless yellow cake. From the historical viewpoint, it required not just a willingness to omit the egg yolks (which could be used in other dishes), but also having access to plenty of butter, refined wheat flour, and refined white sugar, which meant that it started off as a luxury and a status symbol (ISBN 9780199313396, "Wedding cake" by Carol Wilson). Just having pure white icing was an expensive status symbol in the 17th century; having a white cake under that icing was basically never done. Properly speaking, the modern white cakes – a butter-based layer cake – didn't exist until the latter part of the 19th century (ISBN 9780199734962, "Wedding" by Wendy A. Woloson), because before the baking powder revolution (latter third of the 19th century), producing a white cake would have been a technical triumph. The almond-based lady cake (from the 1830s) also omitted egg yolks and was the closest you could realistically get before then (ISBN 9780199313396, "Celebration cakes" by Stephen Schmidt), unless you wanted to risk a tough "white sponge" (ISBN 9780199734962, "Cake" by Sally Parham; that white sponge eventually developed into the modern angel food cake). On the cultural side, they became associated with weddings and with christenings. By the early-to-mid 20th century, the modern white butter cake had supplanted the traditional fruitcake at weddings (Queen Victoria had a fruit cake at her wedding; only the icing was white), and by the end of the century, for non-wedding celebrations, chocolate was more popular (ibid). Box mixes for white cakes were introduced around 1930 (ISBN 9780199313396, "Cake mix" by Laura Shapiro). Additionally, as white cake is used as a building block, there could be a fairly long section on variations or cake styles that are white layers with something added, e.g., Lady Baltimore cake. So there you are: with a couple of articles from two high-quality books from Oxford University Press, and you can re-write the whole article now. There are also some academic articles about white cakes, but their usefulness for an encyclopedia article is mostly not obvious to me (e.g., "White layer cake batter emulsion characteristics" or "Gelatinization of starch and white layer cake quality", though "Better White Layer Cakes Ahead?" may have nutritional information). If you were to go looking for particular content that is unique to white cake, I'd suggest looking into the difficulty of making a really good white cake with gluten-free flour substitutes. Chocolate, fruit, or spice are trivial to convert, and yellow's not too difficult, but a white cake is hard to get right, without any unwanted flavors shining through.

- Keep. Relying primarily on "Cake" by Sally Parham in The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, I there are two possible scopes for this article. The one that interests me most is the butter cake version after the baking powder revolution. However, there's also the much older yeast-based spice cakes from the 17th and 18th centuries (Martha Washington's great cake is at the tail end of that), which may be what Bearian is thinking of. If you imagine one of these spice-and-currants cakes, originally rather more like Raisin bread than like a layer cake, a modern spice cake translates that flavor profile out of the original yeast bread or the heavy fruit cake and into a modern butter cake. Parham writes 'The old fruited, spiced cakes baked for tea, too, were dragooned into the new butter cake family... Already darkened, if only slightly, by fruit and spice, these cakes gathered into a new clutch of butter cakes that were intentionally darkened to a fare-thee-well—by spices and brown sugar or molasses, to make “spice cakes”.' She also says spice cake was the second most popular category of butter cake during the 20th century (after chocolate, before vanilla), and that they adapted to the mid-century vegetable oil trend nicely. Examples of modern spice cakes include Applesauce cake, Carrot cake, and Gingerbread, as well as some less common ones, such as Gâteau de Sirop or Parkin (cake).

As for WP:GNG, 1st source posted here (very local though, Gold Coast media covering a player from Gold Coast? no way!) is decent, the 2nd paywalled one is a WP:PROMOtional article handled by her former management company My Manager which they even list at [16] and the 3rd one is a very routine match report of a local tournament.

Weak keep Found an article in Win Magazine, and a paragraph in CD-Action. Combining that with the Digital Trends mention I think it weakly passes GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:12, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

DeleteKeep - Digital Trends' one paragraph isn't what I would consider significant coverage. Win Magazine article starts talking about the emulator only at halfway point so it's basically similar to Digital Trends in word count. CD-Action is the best of the three but still not especially beefy article. Not enough to pass GNG with these three sources. --Mika1h (talk) 16:34, 20 March 2024 (UTC)- @Mika1h: I also found a Softpedia review of the emulator.

I don't see any reliable source secondary coverage on this person. I do see a lot of primary sources - stuff Lyn Squire himself wrote. Unfortunately, that does not meet WP:GNG.

- Keep. Seems to me (the article creator) a clear keep. As has produced a substantial body of academic research (with some rather high citation scores: see Google Scholar and with lots of well known co-authors (though this is only indicative of (and doesn't count for) notability)) and was editor of a well-established academic journal in their subject area. The Economic Analysis of Projects is really famous in SCBA world as the WBs summary of , operationalisation of the OECD approach. The interview at the World Bank - Oral History is interesting and the little bio at the LSE/Oxfords IGC seem reliable enough to me. (Msrasnw (talk) 10:45, 4 April 2024 (UTC))
- No coverage by reliable independent sources about the subject of the article or any of his work as an individual thought leader. If the subject was really notable, he would have received some coverage given the notability of the World Bank. The high citation count of the co-authored papers at World Bank publications are more of an indication that the subject had some notable good friends at the World Bank.

- These are World Bank publications. They are not subject to academic peer review and yet always get thousands of citations. And the subject wasn’t notable enough within the World Bank to get a page at the World Bank website. This Wiki page looks more like hidden publicity for the fiction book being written by the subject.

- Dear User:Contributor892z, I think looking at Squire on Google Scholar he has well cited publications in several of the most respected (by academic economics and development) peer-reviewed journals: The American Economic Review (US's AEA leading Journal) , the UK's leading society's (RES) journal the Economic Journal, the Review of Economics and Statistics, Journal of development economics, Economic Development and Cultural Change, amongst others. (Also I think the World Bank Economic Review is itself peer-reviewed.) I created the page because I used the Economics of Project Analysis years ago and was now using it again and looked up Squire (and Van der Tak) to find out about them. The novel surprised me, but I thought it interesting, and I am can assure you I am in no way acting with any COI and was not intending to do hidden publicity for his new book, Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 12:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)).
- Re "And the subject wasn’t notable enough within the World Bank to get a page at the World Bank website.": please don't state obvious falsehoods. [20] is a page about him at the World Bank web site, for one. There may be others but they're difficult to find among the many many pages reporting work by him at the World Bank web site. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:10, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, you found a page. I couldn’t find it, so thanks for finding it. But, still, nothing notable. His employer was notable, but his role wasn’t. And notability is WP:NOTINHERITED.Contributor892z (talk) 07:41, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Have to agree with Contributor892z (talk). WP:PROF#C1 specifically says if their "research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline" - these World Bank papers are not, by any stretch of the imagination, research that has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline. They are not the same thing as peer-reviewed academic publications. Andrei Shleifer is an economist with significant academic work in his field. Lyn Squire is just a guy who had a job at the World Bank for years and now self-published a non-notable book. Fred Zepelin (talk) 17:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Self-publishing a non-notable book does nothing to negate other notable contributions. But I think this should remain omitted unless we can find reliable secondary sources.

- Yes, nobody gets a good job at the World Bank without having some skills. But there are plenty of other good people out there that are top 10% of their profession and aren’t notable people. The rules for notability are clear. So the only question we have here is if his publication record is enough to satisfy WP:PROF#C1 and my opinion is that his publication record is not enough given that his most cited work came from publications in vehicles of his employer, which are questionable for research independence.

He had a good job at a notable employer, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Contributor892z (talk) 17:22, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. Per WP:NPROF, it doesn't matter who he works for. To expand on my keep rationale, I see at least three papers with citation counts in the 1000s that were published in well-established journals; also a long tail of papers with a reasonable number of citations. In addition, e.g. the book Economic Analysis of Projects was published by a reputable academic publisher, was reprinted several times, was translated into other languages, etc. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed that he has three papers with high citation numbers from independent journals (where he wasn’t the main author though, so he may have contributed little). If that’s enough for notability, then so be it. But I don’t think it is, especially given that he wasn’t the lead author. The book doesn’t really help meeting WP:NAUTHOR unless it was the primary subject of multiple reliable independent reviews attesting the significance of the contribution of the book, which I don’t think it was. Contributor892z (talk) 12:16, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- In many fields, such as economics or mathematics, the convention is that authors are listed alphabetically. In assessing WP:NPROF, I am exactly looking for several high impact papers, such as these. Meanwhile, the highly cited book _certainly_ helps meet WP:NPROF. Reviews of it include [23][24]. Other reviews of Squire's books include [25] (an edited volume), [26]. There are likely others, as much of Squire's work was before the internet era. C'mon.

- I agree with Oaktee B that this article seems to be an orphan article, and most of the attention and reliable sources are from obituaries. The decision to delete or merge Wikipedia articles is usually made based on established deletion policies and guidelines, (WP: GNG), reliable sources (WP: RS), and verifiability. If the article does not meet these criteria, the only link will not directly lead to the described reason. The scarcity of reliable sources leads to unreliability.

an unsourced article about roosevelt's activities in oyster bay created by a user called user:inoysterbay violates at least 4 policies and guidelines (WP:V, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:GNG, WP:COI). ltbdl (talk) 02:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - there definitely is a problem here in the fact that this unsourced list is so huge. As we can see by the navbox at the bottom of the article, as well as Category:Theodore Roosevelt, this particular Roosevelt is one of the most fascinating, popular, and overachieving leaders in American history. That said, this is an un-sourced list. Most likely, everything on here can be found in other articles about TR.

- Delete This isn't an encyclopaedia article, unfortunately, just a collection of trivia, and it's really poorly sourced. The problem here is that the information, if sourced, could be added either to the Roosevelt page, to the Oyster Bay page, or is already in other articles, and isn't really a useful navigation link.

- Delete. George W. Bush was noted for spending time at Kennebunkport, but an article George W. Bush in Kennebunkport is not feasible.

- Why? Right now the article claims that it (and Herr) are "unincorporated towns", which does not appear to be true. What ae we going to say about Shepherd that can be sourced? I'm not against merging the ones that actually are towns up to these articles, but as that is consistently opposed, it's time to reconsider this guideline. Mangoe (talk) 03:55, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete This doesn't exist, so nothing needs to be redirected. This is one of many "places" that were created using a template. These usually have copy and paste errors as well. They always have the same 4 sources. Forte's list of post offices, which isn't proof that a populated place existed because post offices are not always located in populated places. GNIS which is not proof a place existed. The US census source isn't used, and is there because the creator was in too much of a hurry to remove it from the copy and paste job. I searched google, google books and google news, as well as newspapers.com and the other newspapers site in the Wikipedia library. No evidence of it's existence can be found outside of GNIS. It's just another rural post office that GNIS turned into a populated place.James.folsom (talk) 23:11, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, don't redirect: User James.folsom has it spot-on. There is nothing to be said about this place other than it has an entry in GNIS and once had a post office; redirection would just be confusing. Besides, what is the likelihood that someone would be searching for Shepherd, Indiana and find Perry Township informative? This is such an obscure place that anyone interested in it would already have far more information in hand than would be found at the target redirect article. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 15:50, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. This one's borderline. Shepherd does appear on various older maps marked as a town, such as this 1920s plat book, 1930s county map, etc. This is in contrast to Herr two miles south which isn't marked on any of them. Area newspapers note the creation of a post office at Shepherd (Jackson County Banner, 7 October 1886: "A post office has been established at Shepherd, Boone County, and Henry W. Glendenning commissioned postmaster."[32]) and it pops up occasionally as a named locality in the 1890s and early 1900s (Indianapolis News, 2 September 1901: "The next reunion will be held in the Allen Schenck grove, near Shepherd, in Boone County..."[33]). On the flip side, I see no evidence of businesses or significant settlement there. Probably safe to delete (even though it goes against my retentionist tendencies). ╠╣uw [talk] 12:12, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Good work, I missed those entirely. Here are easier to get to links to the above news clippings. [34] [35]. They don't really help since this could still just be a post office. I'm more interested in the maps: Fayette is a nearby dot on that map and this source says that is a settlement [36] in the 1830's, but says that shepherd was just a post office. So I'm curious why Fayette and Shepherd are on those maps only in 1920-1930. The book is from 1995, so Shepherd is likely not a settlement. James.folsom (talk) 19:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

The article ultimately does not reach the notability criteria for any points of WP:ACADEMIC. It best approaches point 7, which it seems to rely on, but even there it lacks the widespread coverage in independent sources usually necessary to establish notability.
As an associate professor, Fiesler doesn't currently hold a high-level position in academia or has demonstrably had a large scholarly influence over her subject area (human-centered computing). Five out of seven of the article's sources are primary ([37] [38] [39] [40] [41]) and the remaining two are local news ([42] [43]), which are outlined in WP:NOTABILITY as not being sufficient enough to demonstrate a subject's notability. The Slate article is itself written by Fiesler and as such can't be used to demonstrate notabiltiy here. Looking into Fiesler online, news articles about her are either those she authored, are exclusively local, or contain passing quotations/comments on her work, all of which cannot demonstrate notability per the specific criteria notes.

- Keep That IP Watchdog source cannot go to notability since it's an interview. However, I'd treat Colorado Public Radio as qualifying for notability under WP:GNG. (By the way, WP:NOTABILITY doesn't foreclose local news; WP:ACADEMIC does for purposes of criterion 7.) Speaking of criterion 7, other independent, secondary, reliable, substantial sources exist to document her public role on issues related to her academic research and thus notability: CBS News, CBC, Washington Post. There are other examples not as substantial as those, but I believe these should suffice. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- thank you! ill update the article with these sources to improve it! User:Sawerchessread (talk) 03:28, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- No, they don't suffice. For starters, the CBS News source explicitly tagged itself as "LOCAL NEWS" right at the very top of the headline, and this is for a good reason – local news articles such as these cannot demonstrate subject notability. I don't have a WaPo subscription, but just taking a look at the article, she seems to be mentioned only in passing — minor, supplementary mentions also don't prove notability.[1]
The CBC does focus on Fiesler, but this article is an exception to the rule — the majority of independent, reliable sources do not focus their entire articles on her. Just because one does, does not mean all do; a lot more than just this one is needed to prove the widespread coverage necessary to establish notability. GuardianH (talk) 03:43, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- ^ WP:ACADEMIC:
A small number of quotations [...] is not unexpected for academics and so falls short of this mark.
[elided as this isn't a local article].
- Criterion 7 under NACADEMIC does not require the subject to be the primary focus of the article. That's a GNG requirement. Quote: "Criterion 7 may be satisfied, for example, if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area." There is nothing there about how extensive the quotations need to be. And the WaPo item is not a mere passing quote:
Casey Fiesler, an information science professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, said she did not want to downplay any potential menace, but it was possible that students who had noticed increased fear of school violence among their peers were hoping to get attention. TikTok has moderators and guidelines that prohibit posts promoting or threatening violence, but Fiesler said such rules could be circumvented by savvy users. And she noted that TikTok’s accessibility — its algorithm means posts from people with relatively small followings on the platform have a “much higher” chance of being widely circulated — allows for “content that would otherwise maybe not spread as much [to] go viral.” .... Fiesler, the Colorado professor, offered a hypothetical scenario of a student pulling a fire alarm to skip an exam. It could be “the same kind of thing, just at a much larger scale,” she said.
- Other examples of "frequently quoted in conventional media" include: New York Times, Slate x2, Inside Higher Ed, Science, The Verge, SSIR, CNN, Fast Company, plus WaPo and CBC. All taken, these indicate that she is frequently cited by perennially reliable national and global media outlets as an expert in her academic field. (Meanwhile, CBC, Denver Post, and Colorado Public Radio go toward GNG notability (which, unlike NACADEMIC, counts local news coverage as long as it's significant coverage, reliable, secondary, and independent). But there are plenty of sources to keep this article under NACADEMIC Criterion 7.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep in general the fact that multiple news sources showcase her work indicates notability, and as the main author, i consider the fact that i can writw three+ paragraphs with independent, reliable sources on nearly every sentence indicates notability.
- as a professor her research career is still early stage, so her research output is not notable yet.
- of note, about twelve hours before this, casey fiesler created a tiktok about this page indicating surprise that she had a page. this was before the deletion notice, so viewers do not know there is a deletion. however viewers may see this page.
- her tiktok was her surprise at having a wikipedia article, but also her own experiences with nominations for deletion of her articles. she does not mention that her own article is up for deletion as she created the tiktok for her followers before this afd.
- is there a process to correct the discussion and avoid any bias? ive seen it before on afd, when an article is proposed for deletion, in order to maintain balance. User:Sawerchessread (talk) 03:16, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

— Okay, first of all, not all news sources are made the same. WP:ACADEMIC and WP:NOTABILITY specify independent, reliable sources to prove significant coverage. The bulk of the articles here are, as I've pointed out, not independent, and they also happen to be local, which itself can't prove notability. GuardianH (talk) 03:50, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- As a scientist in the field of human-centered computing, I thought I would add some context from my field to this conversation, and I would be happy to contribute to the article as useful. I think there are several good reasons to select Dr. Fiesler. On criterion 1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline), I would like to observe that Dr Fiesler has received 12 awards in computer science for "Best Paper" or "best Paper Honorable Mention," and that she was also awarded the NSF CAREER award, which is a significant monetary award selected by peers in the field to support promising early career scholars. On criterion (7), Dr. Fiesler is a leading science communicator on human-centered computing, as evidenced by the fact that the U.S. White House invited her to attend the signing of the Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. Most importantly, under criterion 8 (editorship), Dr. Fiesler has served as the general chair of the CSCW conference— one of the two leading academic conferences in all of human-centered computing— a position that is equivalent (for computer science) of chief editor of a journal. Dr. Fiesler's CSCW co-chair that year, Dr. Loren Terveen, quite rightly, also has a Wikipedia page. Rubberpaw (talk) 03:53, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Few things to note. Notability on Wikipedia depends first and foremost on reliable sources. It would be better if you could provide a source for the
12 awards
claim, a reliable source demonstrating the NSF Career award issignificant
enough to demonstrate it is ahighly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level
,[1] and when you cited the White House visit, you provided Instagram, which is not a reliable source. Even so, a visit to the White House does not fit any part of the notability criteria laid out in WP:ACADEMIC.
As for her chairship, you also need a RS demonstrating that CSCW isone of the two leading academic conferences in all of human-centered computing
. Digging reveals that she is a co-chair of one (Organizing Committee) of three committees – Organizing Committee, Program Committee, Steering Committee — rather than chair of the entire organization itself. GuardianH (talk) 04:17, 11 April 2024 (UTC) GuardianH (talk) 04:17, 11 April 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for these questions. I hope the following responses are informative.
- The index for the 12 awards claim is Dr. Fiesler's CV on file with the University of Colorado, which I fact-checked by querying the conference proceedings for those cases. To cite three examples, here is the 2023 CSCW best paper honorable mention list that names the "Chilling Takes" article that Dr. Fiesler was lead author on. Here is the proceedings for the 2015 conference paper on understanding copyright in online creative communities that received a best paper award, as indicated by the award cup icon. Here is the best paper list from SIGCSE 2018, which also cites awards received by Fiesler's research.
- NSF CAREER: According to this guide by the MIT Office of the Vice President for Research, "The CAREER program is a NSF-wide activity that provides 5 year awards to tenure-track Assistant Professors, and is one of the most popular and prestigious opportunities offered by the Foundation."
- "Digging reveals that she is a co-chair of one (Organizing Committee) of three committees" - not all academic journals and conferences have a single head. This conference, which operates at a very high volume, has multiple heads, as is common in computer science, where there is a particularly high volume of scholarship. These are necessary conditions of such a high productivity, comparatively large field, with outsized influence in science.
- "A visit to the White House does not fit any part of the notability criteria laid out in WP:ACADEMIC." In this case, I think it's notable because the White House was deliberately marking what they considered to be a first, historic step in the regulation of artificial intelligence in the US and internationally by inviting notable scientists, advocates, and policy experts.

- Comment. I disagree about the NSF Career award above being something that confers notability under WP:NPROF. It is a competitive grant that one applies for and not everyone gets, and also signifies that the grantee is poised to make significant contributions in their field. But the kinds of awards that confer notability under WP:PROF are not grant awards, and they are not "best paper" awards. They are the kinds of awards that people get nominated for by independent, distinguished organizations, without themselves applying for them. And generally, they are not going to be received by an assistant/associate professor - which is what makes this case a little difficult. Qflib (talk) 19:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- NPROF also does not consider early-career awards prestigious enough to count at all towards notability. The NSF Career grant and the paper awards thus do not contribute at all to this discussion. JoelleJay (talk) 23:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. I disagree with the nomination claim that the subject is far from WP:PROF notability. Her citation counts on Google Scholar (both the many triple-digit-citation works and the strong upward trajectory on her annual citations) look good enough for #C1 to me. And I think there's significant independent coverage of her work with Barbie on CPR [44] and on her studies of social media in the Denver Post [45], enough to make a plausible case for WP:GNG notability (as well as maybe PROF#C7) as well. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:28, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- Weak keep. Generally, associate professors have not achieved the level of career notability that one looks for in deciding whether it's time for a Wikipedia page about them. That's the "weak" part of my thinking. Like David and XOReaster, I do see that the citation record is meeting WP:PROF#C1. In addition, like David I think WP:GNG and/or WP:PROF#C1 are met by the news coverage. Qflib (talk) 19:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Please don’t “bite the newbie” but if an article for deletion and the story of her making a tiktok being surprised about having a Wikipedia page manages to make the main stream media or highly viewed on tiktok could that in it of itself be controversial enough to warrant a Wikipedia page?

- Has it made the mainstream media? In general we usually want more than one different mainstream media story about a person (each with in-depth coverage of the person) to generate notability that way; see WP:BIO1E and WP:NOTNEWS. But that's all hypothetical; in this case I think there are much better rationales for notability than any recent controversy. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. If I look at the original when the AfD nomination was made, that was certainly questionable. However, there have been enough additions and improvements that I think the current version qualifies as proof of notability. (There may even be a bit more that people in her field might add.)

I know it can sometimes chafe when someone gets media coverage partially because they're mad at Wikipedia, but coverage is coverage and Wikipedia should, in my opinion only, try harder to make articles better (as happened in this case) when people think they might be borderline AfD-worthy and not just jump in to looking to remove them. I feel that Wikipedia can often use the AfD process as a punishment of sorts when we have thousands of one-sentence stubs which seem to be okay. Wikipedia has such a huge gender disparity in terms of who is represented in biographies and who is writing those biographies. We can do better. Jessamyn (my talk page) 17:55, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't often weigh in, but CSCW, a conference organized by the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery), is one of the premier conferences for human-computer interaction. I know that every conference feels that it is the premier conference in its field, but this actually is.

- Obvious keep due to new sources since 12 years ago. Not sure why a speedy deletion tag was added in addition to this discussion. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - Articles about this band were deleted or speedy deleted several times from 2009 to 2015 because less-experienced editors did not find reliable sources and did little more than announce that the band existed. However, the article's history since 2015 shows that it has been developed by several more experienced editors. The current version needs some cleanup (several sources are dead) and expansion of the band's history. Note that the band's Arabic WP article [46] has some more sources, and those located by the previous voter will also help. My vote is "weak keep" because they haven't gotten too far beyond tour announcements in the media, but there may be enough for a stub article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
