This article fails to demonstrate the notability of the subject: "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

  • I was asked about my response on my talk page, so I'd like to rephrase. What I mean to say is that this redirect serves a purpose by directing readers to Family Guy (season 15). We shouldn't delete this page, which is helpful to the encyclopedia, but just redirect and avoid wasting editors' time by extending this discussion for too long. I hope this clarifies my thoughts a bit, thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:18, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG, AFAICT. Searching the nom de plume proves difficult, since the character and '.' occur frequently in unrelated articles. No real name given. The article's tone is promotional, but not "unambiguous advertising" and a somewhat credible claim of relevance is made. Hence AfD. Kleuske (talk) 22:45, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lois Rice (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

The General Notability Guideline has not been met. The coverage I was able to find is split between two categories: coverage related to her death, and coverage related to her daughter. I would propose merging to the article about her daughter Susan Rice but she's not even mentioned in it. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:11, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being the spouse (or mother) of a notable person isn't a reason to keep an article. Notability is never inherited. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:21, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I know that, which is why I ended the claim of notability before that sentence. Pell Grant involvement, however, seems to suggest something. RoCo(talk) 22:24, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - GNG is met spectacularly well with sources found in just the shortest of google searches [1] [2] [3] [4]. If obituaries aren't pay-for content but are independently composed features, they count as reliable and significant. Yvarta (talk) 22:57, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, like I said in the nomination, the coverage is all about her death, with passing mentions about her being Susan Rice's mother. There's nothing else. Exemplo347 (talk) 00:10, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused Exemplo347 - beyond being obituaries, how are they about her death? If you read the articles, her death is mentioned only in one or two sentences, and the rest is about her life and accomplishments. If she was murdered horribly or died in an unusual way and the articles reflected that, then I might agree with you. Yvarta (talk) 00:13, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"How are obituaries about her death?" Exemplo347 (talk) 00:15, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are missing my point, Exemplo347. They address her death, yes, but that is not their only topic - these are not paid obituaries placed as advertisements for a funeral: they came out after her death because her death spurred the new attention. If they had been spurred by a firing from a major company, but still focused on her and not the firing in great detail, then they would be about her, not the central event that led to the media coverage.

  • Keep Having a long in-depth piece run on your death in WSJ and NYT (and several other places) is a clear sign of your significance. Besides that, a BEFORE here should be done. For instance I found the following two pieces from 70s in NYT - [5] (on her marriage (which was covered since both parties were significant) - added to article) and [6] (didn't add - long opinion piece by her). There's probably plenty more in print archives - just need to look under the right names.Icewhiz (talk) 12:15, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reason Seamus45 (talk) 20:44, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering why this page celebrating an otherwise unknown racist bigot is even in Wikipedia. I was under the impression that to qualify for an entry, the subject must be a person of some distinction or renown. Before I came across this entry, I had never heard of this individual before, and I doubt if anyone else (outside of perhaps members of a white power movement) has heard of him either.

This piece seems like an encomium to this person, or at the least a normalization of his “philosophy” - if that word can be used in conjunction with whatever passes for thought processes in such people.

  • Speedy keep. Having a Wikipedia article is not a question of whether we approve of what the person is notable for or not — racists and bigots do get into Wikipedia if they were the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG. The fact that Wikipedia has an article on somebody does not mean that we endorse them; it just means people might be looking for the information. If you have concerns with the article's tone, flag it for WP:NPOV, and no prejudice against renomination in the future if somebody can provide more compelling evidence that it's not suitable for some reason (e.g. he's just namechecked within the cited sources rather than being their subject) — but we don't delete articles just because some or most editors don't like the person. We don't have to like the reasons why someone is notable — but we do have to accept that some people are notable for bad reasons. Bearcat (talk) 18:13, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lariss (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No real indication of notability, as defined by WP:MUSICBIO. Two of the sources are tabloid trash – one a not very quotable interview, the other a promotion for her video. This is a PR-type thing, and in any case is about the G Girls. This tells us she won some prize at the Media Music Awards (note the red link) – the trouble is, there's no hint that that might be a "major music award", as contemplated by point 8 of the guideline. Rounding out the "sources" is this pure puffery from a radio station. A flavor: "like any artist with potential, Lariss started singing at age seven; there followed a long series of participations in olympiads and competitions, ending with diplomas and trophies".

One final point: the lead alleges that her main song was charted in all sorts of places. The source, such as it is, simply doesn't attest that. It says merely that she "is successful" in several countries, which could mean anything. - Biruitorul Talk 14:40, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Fails WP:NMUSIC. Seems WP:TOOSOON. No significant coverage, just bits here and there which is common with early development. SW3 5DL (talk) 02:23, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not sure if it fails WP:MUSICBIO. Media Music Awards is an important music award in Romania. Also Lariss has been placed in rotation nationally by multiple major radios and music TV channels; + her song "Dale Papi" is in top 10 Romania's 2015 end-year chart[11]. Some 3-5 MUSICBIO criterias are meet. XXN, 09:39, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • We don't actually know that Media Music Awards (again, note the red link) is important. Neither do we know about the national rotation. As for the chart claim, the fact is that Romanian Top 100, which closed in 2012, was the last official Romanian chart. While Media Forest does have a chart, it has no recognized standing outside itself. So I remain of the opinion that the claim to notability is rather thin. - Biruitorul Talk 15:18, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, a red link on Wikipedia means nothing [for us]; Wikipedia it's not a reliable source for itself. About the importance of Media Music Awards you can read here or here, or their self-presentation: [12][13]. Other top medias also wrote about Media Music Awards, and the top artists and bands didn't ignored these awards - one more indication on award's reliability. Perhaps, Media Music Awards is even above the Romanian Music Awards (RMA is organized by an single music TV channel; MMA analyzes the rotations on multiple radio stations, including Kiss FM, Europa FM, Magic FM, Pro FM, Radio 21, Radio Zu, National FM, and Radio Romania Actualitati, +TV stations 1 Music Channel, Kiss TV, MTV Romania, and UTV). About MediaForest as an official country chart we can't say certainly that it's unrecognized; probably nobody yet searched about this. XXN, 17:58, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • Of course we don't have articles on every notable topic, but the fact that sixteen years into our existence, and with articles on dozens and dozens of music awards, this one is missing, is at least of passing interest. However, even if we tentatively accept that the ceremony is significant, I still wonder whether "best new artist" (as opposed to best female/best male) really counts as a "major music award" (point 7), especially when no independent media reported on this in any kind of depth. - Biruitorul Talk 20:33, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Fails WP:AUTHOR, non-notable JMHamo (talk) 20:38, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*ARTICLE TO BE KEPT Very appropriate article about a unique achiever which undoubtedly needs to be kept .

1. Notability - in accordance with the Wikipedia guidelines several significant secondary references are given which are independently verifiable and cannot be ignored. The newspapers and media cited in the article are prominent leading newspapers in the country with millions of readers. ( kindly note that Wikipedia has retained many pages with trivial references with titles Revathi Thirunal Balagopal Varma, Vidhubala, Science Olympiad Foundation, Kumar Padmanabh Singh etc where no one has nominated those for deletion and here this article about a young achiever itself is unique and motivational)

2 notability - guidelines state a person winning multiple awards for his works is notable and this article satisfies that clause also (along with other guidelines) with the list of awards and works given.

3. Author- the guideline for category author is adhered to successfully as the person's works are a part of the Don Bosco Museum and Cebtre of indegenous cultures which is a prominent museum in India and is displayed there and has been cited in leading newspapers .

4. The topic is well notable and attracts wide attention and a Google search on the topic itself produces numerous links and news that shows the significance and notability of the same.

5. Wikipedia is the encyclopaedia for common man to easily search for topics that he needs and such a highly searched topic is very much relevant here .

6. The topic itself inspires many like me due to the various fields of work undertaken by a youngster and the article ould be also considered as a special case for notability and relevance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noble Faith (talkcontribs) 09:31, 6 April 2017 (UTC) Noble Faith (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • strongly recommend to keep the article

The resources cited are not local but prominent newspapers which have wide circulation in different parts of India and not confined to a region alone. It's wrong to say with special interest when coverage comes in media from different parts of the country. No national museum will display works that is not competent enough. It is a very much relevant and significant article that deserves to be kept with more than 15 resources that are prominent newspapers of the country and not to be accused of special interest! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fan in Awe (talkcontribs) 08:14, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]


The entry about the young achiever is inspirational and authentic. Many well known references.It is worth being kept in wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:205:630A:F35E:2C11:36F6:972C:346E (talk) 15:38, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (but open to being swayed if there's proof of award significance, bestseller, other key evidence of notability) - There are a few sources, but not enough to be considered "significant" and a news show that back up the points in the article, but the "best selling" part is hard to substantiate. I'm not finding what organization may have considered him a best-seller - and I cannot find an authority/identity record for him, except perhaps this "sparse" VIAF record under Monu. I don't find an authority/identity under his birth name. I am not finding information that the awards are particularly notable, except perhaps "Kamala Surayya Award" which is listed as an award under List of Malayalam literary awards, but I cannot find an independent source saying he won that award. Although he sounds to be quite a talented boy, I am not finding enough to establish notability at this time. This is possibly a case of WP:TOOSOON.–CaroleHenson (talk) 00:42, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be a WP:1EVENT candidate. It looks as if the article was created by the article's subject. The event is a Twitter retweet by the Prime Minister. reddogsix (talk) 20:34, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This was due to the initiative taken by his family of promoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat (Clean India) initiative by using the logo on wedding invitation. It has instantly made the person highly popular over social media, print media and electronic media. There are over 300+ strong and high quality evidences which can be found here : https://www.google.co.in/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=M1blWPSIJ_Lx8AePxKT4Bg&gws_rd=ssl#q=akash+jain+Modi&start=0&*
The biggest news sites starting from Times of India, Yahoo, Indian express, Aajtak, India TV, Dainik Bhaskar, NDTV, ANI and many more, everyone have reported the whole story of a common man becoming the internet sensation. Even the google news has been picking up the entire story : https://news.google.com/news/story?hl=en&ned=en_pk&ncl=dWaeHvOraNo8CzMn2CGeSGYxKD8oM&lr=en&rfilter=0&q=akash+jain&btnC=Go
Akash Jain has also been into social media activities with previous Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Indian bollywood actor Aamir Khan. He has been associated with branding for Ford Cars as well. This article is not just limited to single event. It talks about the whole activity of the person in the domain of social media.
This category already lists the Indian Internet celebrities who emerged strongly from Social media : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Indian_Internet_celebrities
The page should remain active as it showcases a 'internet celebrity and social media entrepreneur' and it should not be deleted.' Akash207 (talk)

  • Comment - Again, he is known for a single event. Being a "Social media entrepreneur," in itself, does not make one notable for a Wikipedia article, nor does being retweeted. Being associated with Indian cricket does not make one notable , notability is not inherited. Nor does branding just about any product, this is WP:ROUTINE. There are far from "300+ Google hits. A Google search of "akash jain" Modi tweet" shows only 73 - far less than the "300+" you propose - this number also includes many hits unrelated to the event. reddogsix (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The viral content has got over 9K favourites, 3K retweets. It has become for the first time in India that a common man has been followed back by the prime minister on Social Media.

The wiki definition of Internet celebrity on wiki says someone who has become famous by means of the Internet. The wiki category Indian Internet celebrities features people who became overnight sensations after a single event. There are already many subject articles around such topic. If the event was unsustainable or small, not every media would have picked up the story. The WP:OneEvent also says that "However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified."

  • Comment - Again, he is known for a single event. Being a "Social media entrepreneur," in itself, does not make one notable for a Wikipedia article, nor does being retweeted. "Real-world" does not equal Wikipedia based notability. reddogsix (talk) 16:33, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - To correct you, it is not just a single retweet or follow back. It is the effect of that action which trigged discussion and popularity in entire nation including all media platforms. What falls under Indian Internet celebrities? There are many articles under that category who became popular due to single event. This article revolves around the same theme. Akash207 (talk)
  • Delete as, despite wide coverage, this is a case of WP:BLP1E. Narendra Modi following a "common man" on Twitter (of all things) is no reason to write an article on them. Modi follows over 1,500 people on Twitter, and since many of them would be "ordinary" citizens, should we allow articles on each and every one of them? At best, the article can be merged with the one on Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (perhaps under a new "reactions" section). — Stringy Acid (talk) 22:21, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - PM Modi doesn't follow common man. The reason for the wide coverage is because for the first time he retweeted and followed a common man which became a house hold topic in entire India and media. There is a wiki category named Indian Internet Celebrities. There are people who became overnight popular due to single big event. Akash207 (talk)
The (very brief) coverage on Akash Jain lasted less than a week, which is hardly enough time for it to be a "household topic" in a country with population over a billion. Do you have any evidence for the claim that this is the "first time" Modi retweeted a "common man's" tweet? And what's your definition of "common man"? Also see WP:OTHERSTUFF -- just because there are articles similar to this one doesn't mean that this ought to be included. (On another note, I'm surprised by the amount of sockpuppets casting their votes in this AfD.) — Stringy Acid (talk) 19:50, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm skeptical about using the WP:ONEEVENT standard because it's a subsection of a page called "Notability (people)" and Tweet was not a person. Further, it seems like it's being applied to the fact that this (admittedly terrible) article only dwells on one event, not whether or not the subject is genuinely not known for anything else. One listed exception is "Someone may have become famous due to one event, but may nevertheless be notable for more than one event." On its own, Tweet's tragic end doesn't confer notability. But he was also a cast member of a movie that made over $100 million and starred in multiple Toys "R" Us commercials. Those two additional facts gained Tweet international attention and if this article were kept, they'd obviously be added. So this is a weird situation because the article fails ONEEVENT but its subject doesn't. CityOfSilver 00:41, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't cite any sources, and it seems to be a fabricated article like dozens of other articles that had been created before. There's no mention of her on her alleged husband's article as well. I have no prejudice to recreation if it can be done with reliable sources but I doubt there's any mention of her on historical books. Keivan.fTalk 20:16, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. While I was able to find sources mentioning her alleged husband and children, including daughters, none of them supported even the mere existence of Fatma/Fatima herself ("Hatun" is but a noble title, so disregard that). Images of her supposed burial place, Melik-i Acem, only show 4 tombs. According to a sign outside however ("Şehzadeler Kanuni Sultan Süleyman'ın oğlu Bayezid ve oğulları Osman, Orhan, Abdullah burada metfundur."), these belong to Bayezid and his three sons. Considering the position of women at the time and the fact that the article stays vague about her origin, I doubt that there are sources about her; maybe passing mentions at best if she does turn out real, but nothing to support an in-depth encyclopedic entry—i.e. fails WP:GNG. --HyperGaruda (talk) 06:22, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot seem to find any standard use for this term. Regardless of that, the usage here appears to me to be obviously invented by the original creator of the article. Note, for example, that the original creator is Maxtsai and the name of the owner of the github user linked on the page is "Max Tsai". It is my understanding that the original author's intention was to create an article for the API that he was in the process of creating.

The result was delete. This is not an easy discussion to close. A good case could be made for closing this as No Consensus, but due to the open questions about possible WP:COPYVIO and meeting WP:V, I'm going to go with delete. Both of those are fundamental, inviolable, policies.

There's some pending research and translation efforts. If this hadn't already seen three relists and been open for more than a month, I would relist it to give those time to get finished. But, I think at this point we need some kind of closure. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:46, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - The Japanese wiki article (jp:お田鶴の方) makes it clear she is a real figure, though it notes the various versions of her story. The article is relatively well referenced, though it uses a lot of Edo era texts that are not easy to check. Michitaro (talk) 04:10, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Michitaro: Well, the first reference did not mention her name, so I thought it wasn't reliable. But what about the copyright infringement. I will withdraw this nomination if it's found to be clear of any copyright violation. RoCo(talk) 13:23, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Probably keep -- Since precise dates are given, I take this to be history, not fiction. Assuming COPYVIO issues do not arise, this relates to an incident of history. I know far too little of Japan to know whether or not this was a notable series of events. If kept, the article needs a lead section to take the reader into the subject, rather than plunging straight inot the midst of events. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:26, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • TNT Delete While the subject may or may not have existed, the current content is not at all verifiable (and no good version to go back too). It has been entirely copied from Wikia and the sources in the article do not mention anything about the subject. I am unable to find sources. This is ripe for a TNT which will probably allow an interested editor to start again. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:19, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Whether the individual is fictional or real is irrelevant. Likewise, COPYVIO is a good reason to blank a page but not to delete it, because the same source could be paraphrased. The only thing that matters is whether the subject has received significant direct coverage in reliable sources (notability and verifiability as per Lemongir). On this I don't see enough of either as-is, but lack knowledge of the subject area to know if this isn't just an article on a notable subject in need of improvement or if it merits going away. Agricolae (talk) 01:25, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong DELETE- Fails WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. The subject of the article does not appear to be notable nor do the references seem to establish notability. Both WP:GNG and WP:BASIC require require the subject to have received "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" and "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.". Neither of the references seem to meet these requirements.
  • reference 1 - Women Warriors of Japan: Early History is a a promotional site to sell books and not useful for establishing notability. See "Vendor and e-commerce sources".
  • reference 2 - I was unable to find Otatsu-no-Kata in "Samurai Women 1184-1877" - perhaps she may be referred to under another name although there is very little text about the time period in the 16th century prior to 1573.
Although wikipedia articles can not be used to establish notability per WP:WPNOTRS and WP:USERG. the Japanese wiki article mentioned in a previous comment doesn't appear to be the same person (jp:お田鶴の方). This article states that her spouse is Rinao Iioo [[[:jp:飯尾連竜]]], and the Riano Iioo lists お田鶴の方 as his spouse. I have been unable to find appropriate sources to establish notability in either English or Japanese. CBS527Talk 17:37, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
NOTE - I have struck through my previous concern about the Japanese article appearing to be about a different person based on Curly Turkey translation below, I am satisfied that it is the same person. CBS527Talk 03:54, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I believe jp:飯尾連龍 is Iio Tsuratatsu, the husband listed in our English article of Iio Tazu. I believe this to be correct because I took the Japanese characters listed in the English article for Iio Tsuratatsu, specifically "飯尾 連竜" and entered them into the Japanese Wikipedia search engine [14] and jp:飯尾連龍 came up, and the date of death is within one year. I think it is the same person. --David Tornheim (talk) 17:56, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This article is about Iio Tazu (aka Otatsu no Kata). The Japanese article jp:お田鶴の方 (Towards Tazuru) whose spouse is listed as jp:飯尾連竜 (Riaqno Iioo). His article also lists her as his spouse as well. The subject of this AFD is Iio Tazu and the subject's husband is listed as Iio Tsuratatsu. CBS527Talk 21:20, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Japanese article gives the pronunciation of jp:飯尾連竜 as Inō Tsuratatsu. His father ja:飯尾乗連 is also given as Inō. The article for the clan ja:飯尾氏 gives three pronunciations: Iinō, Inō, and Iio—it doesn't indicate whether you could use any pronunciation, or whether different branches used different pronunciations, or whatever.

A lot of the sources are in classical Japanese (of which I have only rudimentary skills) or even kanbun (which I've never tried learning), so it's hard for me to assess, but I'd be very surprised if she didn't pass notability, based on what I do see. A lot of the sources are print-only. I live in Shizuoka (the modern prefecture where she lived), so I'd probably be able to get hold of a lot of them. The problem is motivation ...
I'll tell you what. I'm going to the library tomorrow anyways, so I'll take a look for a couple of sources I can handle to add to the article to save it from deletion. I'd say she most likely has listings in a couple of dictionaries of historical figures at least. I doubt I'll have the motivation to put much more work than that into it, though.

  • I'm with you fellers. There's some merit to the reasoning on both sides. In its present state the article reads like brand promotion, and lacks attributions to neutral sources. On the other hand, this is an iconic, long-lasting brand and reliable sources do exist. [18][19][20] Ideally, I would hope to see the article improved, cleaning up the promotional text and laying out the history with sufficient sourcing to explain why this is more than just another fish brand that's been swallowed up recently by Thai Union. On the assumption that we can do that, I !vote to keep.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:30, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, but that's exactly the fallacy I told you about(also, it is an argument that is listedhere). Yes, it can probably be improved. It could also be rewritten from scratch, without having the burden of cleaning up an advertisement mess. As you can see, the number of problematic, but notable articles is hardly going to reduce itself. There is no deadline to articles with poor grammar or such. But if the articles are written not neutral, then they harm the encyclopedia by existing contrary to WP:NPOV, one of the 5 pillars the encyclopedia is built on. Of course, that can be fixed( and my essay does acknowledge that), but that doesn't happen in an acceptable pace for all articles in total. And if an article is really messed up with advertisements, then it IS probably easier to write a new article than to try to indentify and fix the mass of problems(bad weight of sources, OR, non-neutral terms, tone, cherrypicking) some articles have. With the sources provided, it should be possible to make a new article. The current article is little more than a roadblock, and an article written from a NPOV standpoint is much better than an advert someone tried to trim towards WP:NPOV, on average.Burning Pillar (talk) 00:29, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My advice would be, if it passes as keep for notability, but has unacceptable tone, to as necessary clean up the article of problematic or unsourced statements. A stub could result if necessary, with the list of reliable sources demonstrating the notability. An interested enough editor might possibly eventually improve the article... —░]PaleoNeonate█ ⏎ ?ERROR 03:03, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment I think having a weak charting single in this case shouldn't mean the article is kept - as she still clearly fails WP:GNG. For the UK version of The X Factor, we create lists of contestants such as List of The X Factor finalists (UK series 9) because they're mostly not notable enough for an independent article. If our sockpuppet had done this, it wouldn't have been so bad. Or if the article actually had some information about this Reem person, rather than just a table and a list with one entry, then I might be changing my mind. If The X Factor is as big in Denmark as it is in the UK, there should be some interest in the contestants and some information, but it may take a Danish speaker to find this. Or maybe we could look to the Danish Wikipedia for inspiration (da:Reem). anemoneprojectors 10:35, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

      Reem had challenged herself in Friday's "X Factor" live show by not only singing the song "Lost in the girl", but also showing her skills on a dance floor at the same time.

      It was in collaboration with judge Mette Lindberg that the 17-year-old soloist had come to impress with choreography during his performance.

      ...

      Throughout the eight years, there has been room for a bit of each, but it is primarily the hip-hop, freestyle and dancehall genre that Reem likes most.

      She has been taught at several dance schools in Zealand, and now she is dancing with a friend at a youth school approximately twice a week.

      From Google Translate:

      Reem is born and raised in Denmark. Half of her family lives in Palestine, and the other half lives in Lebanon. It was on a holiday in Lebanon, where they visited the family that, as a 12-year-old, she was ready to give her a testimony of her huge song talent. In front of his father's family. That is, his nine siblings and their children, which meant a total of 30-35 people. The mother's 13 siblings and their children were not present in the small apartment. It was the parents idea that she should sing in front of the big family. They had noticed the extraordinary talent of the daughter - but only unfolded within the four walls of the home in Valby near Copenhagen. It was a big mouthful for a little girl who was very shy at that time.

      ...

      Reem participates in this year's 'X Factor', and she has by-law judges and Denmark by storm. The teenager has Managed to touch Judge Mette Lindberg to tears with his incredible voice, which leads to Amy Winehouse - the now-deceased English song star, to which Reem everywhere is compared.

      ...

      In the past many hours have been spent in the dance room. For eight years, the sporty girl went to dance and folded Out in hip hop. The combination of singing and dancing is also something she admires with Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Amy Winehouse, who she has been compared to.

      From Google Translate:

      This year's X Factor is also exciting because the show has a participant who has shown internationally from the start. I'm thinking of the favorite Reem. In addition to a nice voice and a strong singing talent, she also has the ability to occupy the entire room when she is on stage. You are quickly drawn to her self-confidence and charm. And thanks to her dance skills, she also knows how to move on a scene.

      ...

      After a short videoconference, Reem shows up and opens the living space with Zara Larsson's "Never Forget You". ...

      ...

      My high expectations for Reem are happily fulfilled as she performs the Bieber / Skrillex hit "Where Are You Now?". Judge Mette Lindberg was quite right when she initially said that Reem wanted to show everything she could. She is lost. She is a 17-year-old green poll, but acts like a diva. Diva in the cool way. She has so much authority and is undoubtedly the biggest, and perhaps the first real, X Factor star in Denmark.

      ...

      However, Reem puts its competitors on the wall when she sings Lukas Graham's vocal on "Golden" along with Brandon Beal . Not only because of her singing talent, but also because of her stage performance. Even Christopher , whom she also has a duet with, must bow in the dust. Reem is born to stand on a stage. And she will also be exciting in 30 years.

      ...

      Unfortunately, Reem's potential win song "All That I Want" is a boring case. It is screwed together in a pop-up machine without spark. A number you soon forget. And it seems she does not feel at home in that number. Could she even think about it? Still, I see her as a winner, and the faster she can get rid of the X Factor links, the better for a real music career.

However, she was offered a plate contract immediately after the end. Gaffa's reviewer rated her with "She has so much authority and is undoubtedly the biggest, and perhaps first real, X Factor star in Denmark." Reem's voice has been compared to Amy Winehouses.

      Friday after Friday, 17-year-old Reem shines on stage when she sings and dances on in X Factor.

      And the young singer - and the Danish television viewers - have one particular person to thank Reem today for the X Factor scene.

      Namely Reem's father.

      According to Reem, her father's merit was that the 17-year-old star spy discovered that her singing talent stretched beyond the usual.

      On a holiday he asked Reem to sing for the rest of the family, and afterwards her family was speechless about the young girl's singing talent.

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

If done properly, this list will include almost all animal species in the world--MiguelMadeira (talk) 13:12, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retain. The purpose of an encyclopedia is to find references. I did a Google search on "what animals are loners?" and this article popped up first, answered my question, so I could go back to writing my article. Then I noticed that it was flagged for deletion. Say what?! Coming here to read why, the explanation is that if all such animals were listed, it would be too long. If that is the case, change the title to "List of familiar solitary animals" or some other qualifier.
In my case, I wanted to find some quick examples for a social essay... "bear" and "tiger" were the best for my essay. Sure, in hindsight, I already knew that, but it was a quick way to tickle my mind. That is the beauty of the Internet, especially how Google searches and Wikipedia make it easy.
The article works. Effectiveness is the measure. Miguel Madeira does not understand the value because his definition of "properly" is flawed. What he means to say is "comprehensively", which in this case would be improper because it defeats the purpose of the article. This is a useful article. Leave it.

added re categorization: I wouldn't bother with turning it into a category either.

  • Categorize then redirect instead. Note that the reason given for deletion "If done properly, this list will include probably almost all animal species in the world" is incorrect. As the main article (Solitary animals) states, this is not a list of animals that may be solitary at some point in their lives, but for most of their life.
In any case, solitariness is an adaptation, and many adaptations are already categorized at Category:Animals by adaptation, even if they have numerous entries (the main objection to the list). While the main article (Solitary animals) can summarize, it should not have an exhaustive list. That belongs to a category.
  1. Create a new category under Category:Animals by adaptation called Category:Solitary animals
  2. For each animal in the List of solitary animals,
    1. Add it to Category:Solitary animals.
    2. Ensure that the citation to solitariness (in the list, if any) is included in the animal's article.
  3. Add Category:Solitary dolphins and Solitary animals to Category:Solitary animals
  4. Redirect List of solitary animals to Category:Solitary animals

(all except lion, domestic cat and cheetah); even if I am wrong and one or two of the above are not really solitary, we have dozens of solitary animals in only one family; or look to the 400,000 species of coleoptera - besides the Nicrophorus (68 species), there is any other that it is not solitary? Perhaps, but even if only half (instead that, as I suppose, more than 95%) of the coleoptera are solitary, we will have a list with 200,000 entries, only in one order.--MiguelMadeira (talk) 00:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An additional observation - even with billions of solitary animals to choose, the list gets to include some social animals, like the badger; this indicates that this list is impossible to manage in practice--MiguelMadeira (talk) 00:34, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - About half the 34,000 described fish species shoal at some stage in their life. The rest are basically solitary and should end up on this list. But that's only the beginning. There are over one million described insect species, and perhaps another ten million yet to be described. Most of these are solitary, and will end up on the list. This means the article will need maybe thousands of editors to help it become more complete. It will finish up many tens of megabytes long, much longer than the bible – a truly monumental Wikipedia undertaking and something risible Wikipedia could become widely known for. However, all is not lost. I propose deleting this splendidly silly article and replacing it with its potentially shorter and therefore more manageable and slightly less silly complementary article, List of non-solitary animals. --Epipelagic (talk) 02:38, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - it's a lonely life out there in the animal kingdom. the vast majority of species are solitary. building and managing such a list would be an immense undertaking and the results would be completely uninteresting.Glendoremus (talk) 06:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. List articles are only really useful if they're manageable and at least substantially complete. This one will never be those things, it will forever be a "List of certain solitary animals". It's pointless now since it only contains a few random examples of the huge number of solitary animals that exist, but would be equally pointless if it were complete because then it would be ridiculously long.

  • Comment - Bearian: I confess to being surprised by this vote of yours (immediately above). To vote in that manner at this stage seems obstructive to achieving a rational result here. You really need to explain whether you are just being willfully obstructive, or whether, having carefully considered the other comments above, you genuinely have credible reasons for for thinking this list might be useful. It is not good enough to just baldly declare that the list is "plainly useful for our core readership", and then leave that authoritarian-style statement dangling, unsupported with a single rationale. --Epipelagic (talk) 23:36, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Epipelagic, please be civil and assume good faith. Of course this list would be useful to some of our readers. Whether it would be overwhelming, or less useful than a category, for the majority of our readers and users, is another question. Upon review, I see how this list could be just too much to handle. On the balance, a category rather than a lost would be much better in this instance. I know that may not be a really cogent argument, but that is what I see now.

List of celebrity South Korean military conscripts (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. All men have been subject to conscription in South Korea for the past 50+ years, but this list covers only the past decade. This is for "notable conscripts", but the list in entirely arbitrary and centered almost entirely around Korean pop idols. To put this in perspective, "15,423 actors reported their income in 2015" [36]. About half will be men. Between those alone, that would account for 7,500+ entries. Now take into account the 4,587 singers (half being men), 30,898 athletes (a majority, if not a vast majority, being men), and we're looking at least 25,000 entries, as most of them will serve in the military, sans those who successfully dodged it at their own expense or the few who are exempt from serving (like Inati of DMTN). Now add the notable conscripts of the past 50 years on top of all that, and what purpose does this list serve? This is neither a suitable nor manageable topic. xplicit 11:43, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not just for the fact that he was a Pro Vice Chancellor of a leading university of India but also by the way he is influencing the teachers and professors in the field of education in India and those from at least 20 countries in the world by his innovative Mobile MOOCS today. He must have conducted more than 15 such mobile MOOCS in subjects such as Flash Fiction, Life Long Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Finance, MOOCS etc. A simple google search of his name gives you such obvious results of his contribution in terms of his earlier research papers and most importantly his recent lectures in various educational institutions about the tsunami of change that that is overtaking the present system of education.

  • Strong Keep. The article looks like a stub, but this is a historical photo agency labeled by Europeana as "one of the most recognized photograph agencies of the inter-war period, with branches in Vienna, Paris, Milan and Berlin." ([37]). According to the German Historical Museum, "Schostal was one of the largest agencies of the 1920s and 1930s", as described in their book “People, places, times: Photography at the German Historical Museum” ([38]) as well as in their exhibition about the 20th century ([39]).

  • Keep - Although I could not find any full scale formal reviews, I found plenty of mentions of the film, its predecessor Okon Lagos and its sequel Lost in London, and I think it meets WP:GNG. The article needs expansion. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:49, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Cwmhiraeth: Please list the "plenty of mentions" you found so we can evaluate them. Significant coverage in reliable sources is needed to establish notability.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 21:37, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ukpong1: None of the sources in the news link discusses the film. Popularity is not synonymous with notability. A film isn't suitable for stand-alone inclusion simply because it is popular. The Nation source you mentioned doesn't discuss the film either; the author of the article is simply giving his opinion about the films they're looking forward to in 2017. As a matter of fact, I don't see the film listed anywhere in the article. How can a film, which was supposedly released in 2012, be "listed" in the article titled "Most anticipated MOVIES of 2017"?  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 21:24, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ukpong1: The article published by The Nation newspaper only states the film's title and doesn't discuss it. I don't understand why you think this film meets Wikipedia's notability guideline.

  • Keep per Cwmhiraeth. I looked at a couple of sources in the article and they convey significance. For example one provides dozens of photos of celebrities at the movie premier, plus photos of theatre ushers dressed in theme with the movie; this isn't in-depth coverage of the movie per se, right I get that, but it is clearly a popular movie. --doncram 01:04, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Doncram: Lmao at your response. So you're essentially saying that dozens of photos at a movie premier is enough to warrant stand-alone inclusion. Popularity is not synonymous with notability. A film shouldn't have a stand-alone article simply because it is "popular". By the way, the film is not popular whatsoever. It wasn't nominated for any awards in Nigeria and isn't listed among the List of highest-grossing Nigerian films.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 09:54, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That adds nothing to what I said, IMO. It's not necessary, in fact it is a tad irritating, for a deletion nominator to comment on everything. --doncram 02:19, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It is the dream of every actor to get that role in that notable film that will change the direction of his career. Think of Wesley Snipes as Blade in Blade 1, 2 and trinity. I believe Imeh Bishop got that when he starred in the titular role in this film. Since his oscar worthy performance in this film, the media continue to refer to "Okon Lagos" when talking about him. Obviously because the film added more valour to comedy films in Nigeria, giving Akwa Ibom natives an indigenous humorous identity. The film is of huge encyclopedic importance when expanding the comedy genre of Cinema of Nigeria article. Imeh Bishop is a main player in that light. So many references exist where the film was referenced in discussing the titular character, just use Google. Not too convenient for me now to add here. I hope I didn't run foul of talking too much on the actor, not the film. Darreg (talk) 10:43, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete While there are plenty of mentions of the movie in the various sources that come up in searches, not a single one of them is even close to the in depth discussion needed to establish notability. They are all pretty much one to two sentence mentions that the movie exists, and WP:ITEXISTS is not a reason to keep an article. Pretty much every source currently in the article is about a completely different topic, and just mentions the movie tangentially, and searches bring up nothing better. Saying that the movie was "popular" is not enough to establish notability unless there are also reliable sources that talk about the film in depth, and so far, I have not seen a single one. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 16:31, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Lacks the significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources needed to satisfy general notability, and also does not satisfy the specific guideline for films. Multiple mentions is insufficient. Edison (talk) 17:17, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Article passes basic notability guidelines as per WP:GNG also as per WP:GNG an article need not pass every guideline stated in WP:GNG @Versace1608 what you should have done, was communicate through the articles talk or simply, go straight to the article creator @Darreg & communicate to him your issues concerning the article and then given him time to work on it, then if that fails you could now nominate it for deletion. I feel this was rather too harsh, as you both are Nigerian editors and this issue could have been resolved "in-house" I feel it's just a show of mutual respect and courtesy to first communicate with the content creator your concerns and issues with his/her article rather than just nominate it, as you both have good history together and are not unfamiliar to each other.Celestina007 (talk) 11:47, 07 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Celestina007: You are wrong on so many levels. For starters, Darreg did not create the article. If you look at the article's page information, you'll clearly see that Ukpong1 created the article on 15 March 2017. For your info, I do not need to communicate with anyone before nominating an article for deletion. It is wrong to think that nominators need to do this. My decision to nominate the article wasn't harsh in any way, shape, or form. If I come across an article not suitable for stand-alone inclusion, I am going to nominate it for deletion. I should also point out that your assumption about me is wrong. I am not from Nigeria. I am pretty sure Darreg respects my nomination although he disagrees with me. You claimed that the film meets WP:GNG. Can you show me

a reliable source that discusses the film. If you do, I'll change my stance from delete to keep.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 22:11, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I voted keep above, and I still think it meets WP:GNG. It is a Nigerian film and the Nigerian film industry is in a much less advanced position than that in the US, UK or India, so I would not expect there to be such extensive coverage of the film in the media. It still remains an important feature film in Nigeria with a prequel and a sequel. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:17, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Cwmhiraeth I've struck your keep, you should reconsider editing it to say comment as you cannot vote twice and you've already done so above. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:24, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I have changed it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:45, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Cwmhiraeth: It is flawed to think that because the film is a Nigerian film, one shouldn't expect there to be extensive coverage. Nigerian movies such as Black November, The Figurine, Phone Swap, and October 1 have gained extensive coverage in the media. Keep in mind that Black November and Phone Swap were released in 2012, the same year that Okon Goes to School was released. If OGTS was a popular film, it should have been discussed in reliable sources.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 22:30, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oluwa2Chainz need i remind you to stay as civil as can be, "seems the people voting for keep are stating baseless reasons outside Wikipedia's notability guideline" is a tad bit disrespectful and rude, the use of 'baseless' was uncalled for, People who !voted! Keep citied at least one guideline hence their reasons were not 'baseless'. We must not make such rude or disrespectful statements as per WP:UNCIVIL states. furthermore your statement is incorrect as this is no voting process where persons with highest number wins or emerges victorious. do take note Celestina007 (talk) 22:02, 07 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I believe Okon Goes to School passes notability requirements. As a Nigerian and a member of the rather small Nigerian movie community, I fully understand the difficulty of establishing notability to current Wikipedia standards. Much of this falls under systemic bias, something that affects Okon Goes to School; as a Nigerian-movie notable in Nigeria on an American website (Wikipedia). My Personal and professional opinion if you ask me is, the movie has gained full coverage in Nigeria and there would be very few Nigerians who haven't heard of the movie.

1. I believe Okon Goes to School easily passes WP:MOVIE . The movie has been screened within Nigeria and other countries of Africa like Ghana, Benin Republic etc.

This might not be convincing enough but its worth a try. Zazzysa (talk) 16:15, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. no visible evidence of notability DGG ( talk ) 05:38, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. He's attracted mentions for other portraits, and was covered widely in the press when he created a second portrait of Princess Diana, imagining her as she would be at 52. This was the subject of one of the cited sources, but the sources weren't being used fully. I was able to add some biographical information as well as a couple of other portraits (but I removed the Middle Temple group portrait since I couldn't find an independent source for it). There is probably additional press coverage of his career offline; I also didn't use a Daily Mail article (here) or an Indonesian source dependent on the Daily Mail (here) both arising from the second Princess Diana portrait. With press coverage on two separate occasions plus several other works noted in reliable sources, I believe he squeaks by. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:44, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note - 'Probably additional coverage offline', is the same thing as no coverage at all. As far as I can discern, there is nothing notable about the artist and their works at all. The vast majority of the coverage in the press is related to the celebrity of Diana herself, not the artist. In addition, this coverage is only related to a single event. Even the more recent articles are just in reference to the original event in the 1990's when Zohar painted the portrait of Diana. The only new source added to the article is that Zohar had a student, something which in itself is not very notable for an artist, and that he has painted other portraits, none of which (the portraits) have any sort of notoriety. In addition, there's nothing to suggest that the artist's second portrait of Diana was, 'widely', covered in the press. Although, I suppose this depends on ones definition of widely. Somethoughtsaboutthings (talk) 19:04, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have to point out that equating the possibility of offline coverage with no coverage at all is simply wrong. We are on the internet, but we accept offline sources. Moreover, The Times is now completely paywalled, and other UK newspapers are hard for me to access in search (I used to have a subscription to British Newspapers Archive through the Wikipedia Library but didn't renew it because it never seemed to have anything, even articles I'd seen in hard copy in the past) - so there may be online sources that someone else has access to. I presume you performed a WP:BEFORE search? If so, surely you noted that there are two portraits of Princess Diana? That was not reflected in the article, and yes, I would call the coverage of the second one wide - I added a Spanish newspaper, and notice above that I didn't add the Daily Mail or the Indonesian (!) website based on its report, since we no longer accept it as a citable source. Again, I'm sure there were other press reports on that, and far more than the one on the first portrait. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:30, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I do agree that equating the possibility of coverage to no coverage existing is not correct. A more fair assessment is that 'might be coverage' is not valuable when considering notoriety, since in fact there might also not be coverage. It's an empty statement and actual citations of the offline coverage are what is valuable. In terms of wide coverage, I would not consider one Spanish newspaer and the Daily Mail wide coverage (you mentioned yourself the Indonesian article is just a reference to the Daily Mall resource), but, as I mentioned earlier, I am not sure who is to decide what wide coverage is. In addition, the reason for the majority of this press is not the artist, but the subject, Princess Diana. It seems more appropriate for a subject like this to be a sub-section under Princess Diana regarding portraits of her. Somethoughtsaboutthings (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:54, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Article seems to have only made it onto Wikipedia due to creation by subjects son. Not sure if this matters, but, it would imply some bias. Somethoughtsaboutthings (talk)
Comment in response. That's assuming bad faith; I think you have a stronger argument for deletion if you stick to the notability point you made in your nomination. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:30, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment in response. The mention of the source of the Author of the article is related to the notability point, not another argument. That is to say, I think it is something to consider when determining if the subject should have an article on Wikipedia. The fact that the Diana portrait had existed for quite some time before the article was created by a relative might lend credence to the idea of the artist themselves not being notable, as one might imagine they would have had an article created by an independent source who was aware of their notoriety. This is of course not necessarily true, and the subject could have been notable, and no one saw it fit to make an article for them. It would be in bad faith to assume that it was only created because of the relation, but I think it would also be short sighted to not consider the source of the creation of the article.

And the one (primary) source for the article has been cited 48 times in Google scholar, ok but not great for a paper from 1983, but most of the citations look like people discussing distributed selection, or describing different algorithms for distributed selection, rather than significant coverage of this particular algorithm. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:11, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • No issues with deleting if if someone wants to include the description of the technique within the Ford GT article - I just don't think it belongs there since other vehicles use the concept.

Does not meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. It lacks any inline citations and none of the links included in references help establish any notability, as one link is broken, the second does not have any in depth coverage and the third points to a Wikipedia page.

  • Delete This should not be a keep at all, the reason this guy's credits look so impressive is because they've had Steve Hellier (different spelling from the band Death in Vegas https://www.discogs.com/artist/67724-Steve-Hellier) included with them. He has worked with Saint Etienne etc. whereas this guy is the one that used to play the keyboard in Dubstar. That band's entry if sufficient for this. Plus the self-referenced advertising that was removed tells us who created the page... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.175.137.102 (talk) 18:09, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except that I can't find any sources that say Hellier is the one who did that work. Indeed, Hellier appears to have no credits at all at Allmusic, whereas his Discogs one contains mainly his Death In Vegas stuff. I can't see that the two have been confused. Also, Hillier was clearly not just "the one that used to play the keyboard in Dubstar", as the list of credits that are sourced will tell you. Black Kite (talk) 08:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed. I can't find any sources that say Hellier is the one who did that work either and also can't see that the two have been confused, or that there has been any attempt to confuse the two. 82.132.219.70 08:42, 6 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.219.70 (talk)

The discogs credits are not clear at all, reflecting the fact they are, like wikipedia, crowd sourced: Note the remixer section here: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/5b32946a-4c08-4a75-b1b1-60700470671f/relationships http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/death-in-vegas/credits/ I'd have to post a photo of the credits I suppose but: http://www.pmachinery.com/modules/news/index.php?start=1560&storytopic=1 references it. I strongly disagree that the referenced credits are not mixed as referenced by the Death in Vegas claim on here: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/steve-hillier-mn0000044550/credits ... and looking at the wikipedia article, I strongly agree with the Roger 8 Roger revision of 22 November removing the self-referenced advertising about: "Outside of his music career, Hillier is also a founding director of Man Bites Dog, the most award winning B2B PR company in the UK [44]" which is obviously self-referencing and posted by the subject of the page himself...

  • Merge/redirect to Dubstar. Although he has credits, and is a writer/journalist (hence some of the hits for his name) and teacher/lecturer, as well as performing with Dubstar, I don't see evidence of in-depth third-party coverage of Hillier in his own right which would be needed to establish notability. Just being in a successful band isn't enough to be independently notable. Colapeninsula (talk) 10:42, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and let the mention on the Dubstar page cope with the merging. Wikipedia is not supposed to be a parallel data structure for discogs or allmusic. If he'd been in more than one band I think this would be justified. It's the equivalent of the guy who did the accounts on a few movies having his own Wikipedia entry, a note on the band page is sufficient. There is no place for other business interests, no matter how "award winning" they are from the edits... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 54.84.62.201 (talk) 13:38, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep it. It seems that this page hasn't been updated in a while, it's notoriously difficult to source citations for producer's work and even harder for songwriters. But doing a quick Google search it's clear Hillier has been involved in more than is stated here.

This name first came to my attention some months ago when I was working on List of Roman Consuls: none of my sources could confirm this person's existence. Despite a search on Google, I have been unable to find any reliable source that mentions him. The only original source which appears to even mention this person is a genealogical website which appears to be dodgy to me. In response to a query I left on the talk page last November, Mikythos checked the two sources cited in the article, & neither mention Vestinus. I'm guessing that the original editor took the information from a website (perhaps the one I mention) & directly cited the sources provided there without checking them first. A good-faith article creation. However, at best this person is a phantom & at worst an inadvertent hoax. (P.S.

  • Delete If the cited sources don't support the claims, the article is unsourced with the likely supposition of a hoax. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:58, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or redirect to Titus Sextius Lateranus (consul 154). Seems to be a mix of that individual (the long version of Titus Sextius Lateranus' name described on that page and in Mennen includes "Lucius Volusius Torquatus Vestinus"), and his father. Smmurphy(Talk) 19:49, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Okay, now I can see where that name came from originally: someone with a hazy grasp of polyonomous names (which was a typical practice in the 2nd century AD Roman Empire; T. Sexius Lateranus' full name is an example of that) assumed L. Volusius Torquatus Vestinus was the father of the consul of 154, made up the rest of the material, & put it up on the Internet somewhere where it was found & used in the Wikipedia article. Just one more example why I've become more conservative about accepting information I find -- even from experts. -- llywrch (talk) 20:44, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to T. Sextius Lateranus. It could be interpreted as a mistake for the consul, but polyonymous Roman nomenclatures tended to accumulate by adding the names of maternal ancestors, so there probably was a grandfather or great-grandfather with this name. A couple of other individuals with the combination "Volusius Torquatus" show up in the EDCS database. Whether there'll ever be any direct evidence of this particular person other than the survival of his name in the consul's nomenclature is uncertain, but not impossible.

  • Comment - I want to 'delete' because info from the Internet sounds like hoax to me. A few years ago, I came across a music article about an orchestral interpretation of the entire Bee Gees catalog. I don't know the Bee Gees, but I know music and the 'nomenclature' it was using told me straight-away it was a hoax, which it was. But it was hard to explain it to others until an admin understood what I was saying. The source came from the "internet." If you're sure, I'm happy for a keep, but it sounds dodgy to me. SW3 5DL (talk) 22:21, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's certainly not a hoax; Smmurphy and Llywrch have already identified the original source of the name. There was a consul whose full (known) nomenclature was either Titus Sextius Lateranus Marcus Vibius (probably Ovellius or Quietus) Secundus Lucius Vol [usius Torquatus?] Vestinus. Based on what we know of Roman nomenclature of this period, it's likely that his maternal ancestors included men named Marcus Vibius Ovellius (or Quietus) Secundus and Lucius Volusius Torquatus (with or without Vestinus). However, we can't be sure which if either was his maternal grandfather, or if one of them was his great-grandfather on his maternal grandmother's side or his paternal grandmother's side. It would have depended largely on which was more illustrious. And while we know of men with similar names, we don't know at this point if they were his ancestors or collateral relatives such as uncles or cousins. So an article about one of them based solely on the appearance of the name in the consul Sextius' nomenclature seems unjustified, although at some point there may be sufficient information to warrant such an article, whether or not the person referred to can be clearly identified in terms of relationship to Sextius.
Such an article could be created and moved over the redirect, or created out of the redirect, if we turn the current one into a redirect; but if we simply delete the page, then someone running across the name as a fragment of Sextius' nomenclature might not find him. Which is why a redirect to Sextius is probably a better idea than deleting the article, until such point as the name warrants an article of its own. In other words, it's not a hoax; it's someone with a tenuous grasp of Roman nomenclature and notability inferring without evidence that some maternal ancestor, about whom we know nothing but his name, was the consul's father, and that knowing his name is sufficient reason for him to have his own article, which really isn't the case.

  • Comment -- I am assuming this article to be a mistake rather than a hoax. If so, there is confusion. The solution thus needs to be a limited merge that will explain why there is a redirect to a name that appears to be unconnected. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:24, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I learned awhile ago to never !vote merge/redirect unless that was a sure outcome because not only would it leave the article in place waiting on a second process to occur, it fails to establish that the community wants to remove the content as-is. !Voting delete establishes firm community consensus, removes the possibility of a redirect getting hijacked (which is popular as of late), and provides for WP:G4 in the future. If there was content here worth saving, editors can move it over to other applicable articles now before this concludes. Anyone supporting merge/redirect is really !voting "keep", which is probably not their intent. I'm not a classical era historian so I don't have much faith that these two are the same person, anyway. That assertion might be true but I have little faith in leaving a redirect. As there is no deadline, there's no need to "save" content. Let someone more responsible add this content years in the future and do so properly. Chris Troutman (talk) 07:50, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I rechecked all of the sources given in this article, to see if there was something that Llywrch or Mikythos missed.
I can't see page 165 of Brian Jones' The Emperor Domitian, but from pages 164 and 166 he seems to be discussing persons whom Domitian raised to the consulship during his reign, which does not suggest that it mentions a consul from AD 112, as this article asserts (Domitian died in 96). The index contains listings for one Lucius Volusius Saturninus, consul in 87, and one Quintus Volusius Saturninus, consul in 192. Lucius is the one mentioned on page 165, and I cannot rule out the possibility that it mentions a son, but there is no "Volusius Torquatus Vestinus" in the index, and for reasons to follow I do not think it states that such a son was consul in 112.
Jörg Rüpke's Fasti Sacerdotum, cited to p. 1288 (one of four hits for "Volusius"; the other three don't look relevant), is a discussion of T. Sextius T. f. Lateranus M. Vibius Ovellius . . . Secundus L. Volusius Torquatus Vestinus, consul in 154. Note 4 says that he was the son of T. Sextius Africanus, consul in 112; not of L. Volusius Torquatus Vestinus.
PIR, vol. III, p. 487 (V 666), is an entry for (L.) Volusius Torquatus, son of the consul Lucius of AD 87. It indicates that he apparently married his cousin, Licinia Cornelia M. f. Volusia Torquata. The entry says nothing about him being consul in 112, and it doesn't assign him the cognomen Vestinus.
Not cited is E. Mary Smallwood's Documents Illustrating the Reigns of Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian, which gives fasti for the reign of Trajan and indicates that we seem to have a complete list of consuls for 112; this list includes T. Sextius Lateranus but not L. Volusius Torquatus Vestinus. I do not see that or any similar name anywhere in her lists, either as a dated or undated consul.
Lastly, I mention that the entire article was written and documented by Anriz, whose chief interest in Roman history seems to have been illustrating Descent from antiquity, and who has in many other articles attempted to tie together various persons from Roman history whose connection seems at best uncertain.
So, in all this article appears to be mostly about a real person, Lucius Volusius Torquatus, although I can find nothing to suggest that he was surnamed Vestinus. The only logical source for that name is Rüpke, whose entry is not about the same person. That seems to be the only source for a supposed consulship in 112, as well. It seems that Anriz concluded that the Titus Sextius Lateranus who was consul in 154 was the son, not of T. Sextius Lateranus, consul in 112, but of an L. Volusius Torquatus Vestinus, perhaps misunderstanding Sextius' nomenclature, and that this "Vestinus" must have been the consul of 112.
It's true that in some cases the last names in a polyonymous Roman nomenclature are the ones inherited from the father, but in this instance reliable sources indicate that the opposite was the case. Lateranus, the consul of 154, was probably descended from a Lucius Volusius Torquatus; and could perhaps be the grandson of the one at PIR, vol. III, p. 487, although in this case Vestinus seems to come from somewhere else. This article creates a phantom consul out of a misinterpretation of Rüpke, IMO.
However, there does seem to have been a Lucius Volusius Torquatus, who was the son of Saturninus, the consul of 87, and who married Licinia Cornelia. I would strike the cognomen Vestinus as it isn't indicated for him in any known source, and any reference to a consulship in 112, since the consul referred to was clearly a different person. Now, as the combination "Lucius Volusius Torquatus Vestinus" is only known to occur in the name of T. Sextius Lateranus, the consul of 154, I think that this title should redirect there; but the parts of this article that aren't clearly erroneous should be moved to "Lucius Volusius Torquatus", as such a person did exist, and he seems to be the only individual with that name.

@(P Aculeius) "On 13 January 87, C.Calpurnius Piso Crassus Frugi Licinianus (PIR2 C 259) became suffect consul, replacing Domitian and holding the post with another patrician, L.Volusius Saturninus, who may well have been married to Calpurnius’s cousin, Licinia Cornelia." Brian Jones' The Emperor Domitian is available online in its entirety. 84.73.134.206 (talk) 08:06, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There was also a Lucius Vestinus, warmly mentioned in Claudius Oratio: "Here is this splendid and powerful colony of Vienna [modern Vienne in southern of France]; is it so long since it sent to us senators? From that colony comes Lucius Vestinus, one of the glories of the equestrian order, my personal friend, whom I keep close to myself for the management of my private affairs. Let his sons be suffered---I pray you--- to become priests of the lowest rank, while waiting until, with the lapse of years, they can follow the advancement of their dignity".[50]. He went on to become "praefectus Aegypti" and has a nice article in German WP. His son Marcus Iulius Vestinus Atticus was consul in 65. 84.73.134.206 (talk) 09:21, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Those are some interesting resources (and I look forward to reading the Domitian book), but they don't shed any new light on this discussion. We already know that there was a Lucius Volusius Saturninus who was consul in 87, and that he had a son named Lucius Volusius Torquatus. But we also know that the particular combination "Lucius Volusius Torquatus Vestinus" appears in only one place: the nomenclature of the consul of 154, whose father Titus Sextius Lateranus was consul in 112. None of the sources cited in the article state that there was a consul in 112 named Lucius Volusius Torquatus Vestinus; none of the traditional sources for identifying consuls name such a person; he is not attested in any historian, any encyclopedia of antiquity, in any treatise, or in any known inscriptions.
Quite simply this is a case of the article's original author conflating different people. He or some unidentified source he used (but did not cite) knew that the consul whose name ended in "Lucius Volusius Torquatus Vestinus" was the son or grandson of someone who was consul in 112, and that he was named after said consul. But he did not realize that the consul in question was Titus Sextius Lateranus, and not someone named "Lucius Volusius Torquatus Vestinus", who as far as can be determined did not exist. The most that we can say is that Lucius Volusius Torquatus (sans Vestinus) was a real person and likely to have been an ancestor, perhaps the maternal grandfather, of the consul of 154, but there is no evidence whatever that he was consul in 112, and no reason to believe that the assertion that he was is anything other than confusion with Titus Sextius Lateranus, who is known to have been both consul in 112 and the father of the consul of 154. This falls in the category of "mistake", assuming good faith on the part of the editor in question; and there isn't any likelihood of new evidence suddenly coming to light on this issue. P Aculeius (talk) 13:50, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. I was just wondering where the cognomen Vestinus may come from. Anyways, I just found something else that might be directly relevant: an epigraphic mention of L(ucius) Vol[usius Torquatus?] Vestinus. The inscription, whose original is lost, is analysed by William Seston in this article in French (p.111). His reconstruction differs from the previous one (HD). He hesitates between L. Vol[cacius Torquatus?] and L. Vol[usius Saturninus]. Torquatus and Volusius are just conjectures. There is also a discrepancy between the two versions of the inscription: L in the HD record vs. LUC in Seston. So, probably no Torquatus and no Volusius, possibly no Lucius, Titus Sextius Lateranus is here, but whether Vestinus is one of his cognomina or someone else ain't clear to me. 84.73.134.206 (talk) 16:11, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable band, fails WP:NBAND and WP:GNG Flat Out (talk) 06:08, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - as I said in my endorsement of the original prod (which was contested and removed), not only are there no WP:BAND criteria met, but WP:CORP (which applies to any organization including bands) requires national or at least regional coverage, not merely local coverage, which is all this band has. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:29, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, bands don't have to pass WP:CORP in addition to passing WP:BAND. Yes, a band should have wider coverage not limited to a single city, but BAND does include "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city" as a potential notability claim that can be satisfied by a particularly strong volume of purely local coverage. NMUSIC already requires the claim to be supported by media coverage that would satisfy WP:GNG, so there's no reason to add secondary hurdles that a band also has to clear supplementary SNGs in addition to NMUSIC. Furthermore, a solo artist would not have to clear CORP in addition to NMUSIC — and the notability standards for bands cannot be tighter than they are for solo artists.

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

A search did find some hits in reliable sources, but at best these were passing mentions or sites that promote the method. The only independent significant coverage I could find appears to be from a site that advocates electoral reform, so I'm not sure how independent or reliable that source is. It's possible this could be merged to either Ranked voting system or Instant-runoff voting, but as it stands, it seems to be WP:TOOSOON at best for this to have its own article.

Why would you categorize the Center for Election Science VSE article and the Sightline article as either "passing mentions or sites that promote the method"? CES is a longstanding reference source for a number of voting-related articles on Wikipedia. CES has done no promotion of the Score Runoff Voting method, rather a researcher there statistically analyzed many voting methods and found Score Runoff Voting to perform best on the measures of the simulation amongst all the voting methods analyzed. Likewise, the reference Sightline article is hardly a "passing mention" - that article fully describes the function of the method such that no original research is needed to extract the content and discusses strategic voting implications under the system. That's three independent sources that meet GNG criteria. Keep. Nardopolo (talk) 15:32, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A trivial variation of range voting with no significant independent reliably-published sourcing (all we have is web sites of dubious significance and reliability), does not pass WP:GNG. The sightline piece in particular is a pamphlet from a partisan group, not a scholarly publication, mentions a different variation (with reweighting), and does so only trivially as a short bullet in a long bulleted list of possibilities. I see no reason to change my WP:TOOSOON opinion from last time. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:43, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Response:. David, you might want to take a closer look. The three independent sources are IVN (~500,000 subscribers on social media), the Center for Election Science, creators of the VSE metric and significant contributors to voting science, and Sightline. Sightline is a research think tank that's been around for more than two decades -- whether or not their articles are "scholarly" may be a matter of debate (the author of that paper has like 10 pages of links to research writings on the site), but it doesn't need to be a "scholarly publication" to meet GNG. And your cursory examination of that piece didn't manage to find the actual definition and description of Score Runoff Voting, nor its strategic implications. While you assert SRV is a "trivial variation" of range voting, it has significant performance differences, as evidenced by the CES VSE study. How many more independent sources are needed beyond three before you'll let go of the WP:TOOSOON claim? Nardopolo (talk) 22:40, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Google scholar search for "score runoff voting" returned "Your search - "Score Runoff Voting" - did not match any articles". More than zero would be a start. For this sort of subject I would like to see actual scholarship, not just web page and think tank advocacy. For why think tank product cannot be considered reliable, see e.g. Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive950#massive deletions — too main think tanks say what they are paid to say rather than neutrally seeking the truth. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:17, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Looks like we both agree that this topic deserves more scholarly research, however, you are incorrect in equating "scolarly sources" with "independent sources". This reform comes from public interest campaigns and active reform, rather than an ivory tower approach. The ivory tower is not required for WP:GNG, and your example about think tanks hardly establishes the notion that all think tanks are unreliable independent sources, rather that a paid editor was spamming links to a particular set of partisan viewpoints. You have also not adjusted or addressed your misstatements above.Nardopolo (talk) 18:55, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Neither IVN (the Independent Voter Network) nor the Sightline Institute are notable enough for their own pages on Wikipedia, so that goes against their notability. Plus the Sightline report is a general memo on voting systems reform, contains a relatively brief (two paragraphs) mention, and opens with "This memo is an articulation of Sightline’s internal strategy for voting systems reform. It is not a thoroughly vetted and reviewed report or article like most of our publications." I agree it is WP:TOOSOON; a brief description under Instant-runoff voting#Similar methods might be appropriate. It also already has a brief mention under Range voting#Advocacy, imho that's sufficient. Jsilter (talk) 12:10, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Range voting — whether or not it's notable as its own topic, I think it's such a short article on such a similar topic to range voting that it would be better off as a section in that article. Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 00:42, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for lack of reliable, secondary sources. Possibly WP:TOOSOON. After searching "Julia Quinn" I understand why she changed her name, I had no idea there would be so many Julias Quinn. Keywords didn't help. I did find 2 articles in the Canberra Times about a play she directed, Ghost Stories, I added them to the article. the first was a pre-opening feature story. The second was a review, with a complimentary sentence about her work as director. It's just not enough to support an article. Feel free to ping me if anyone manages to source it adequately.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:41, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep if WP:CREATIVE is the standard, which is a very high bar, then she does not meet it. Go ahead and DELETE if you must. These two sources about two different productions look sufficient to me. [1][2][3]
--David Tornheim (talk) 13:48, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as I said in my nomination the first helps a little but is a local newspaper promotional interview about the play and not the subject and the second does not mention the subject at all. they could be used as sources in an article about this production of the play but not to support the notability of the subject. And BTW I think they are about the same product of Ghost Stories and not 2 different ones; And please don't forget that just because a production might have received in-depth coverage this does not make the director notable as notability is not inherited. Domdeparis (talk) 14:02, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

^Sorry. I put in the wrong ref. I struck out the one that didn't include her name and replaced it with the one I had mean to include this.--David Tornheim (talk) 17:11, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how local the magazines are. There is enough production quality in both that they give the appearance of being substantial. I am not sure what our standard is for when a magazine or newspaper is considered too local or regional to count. If either of you can cite to it, I might change my mind. I doubt anyone would refer to the U.S. as "regional". I saw an article on a French commedian and wonder if that is "local". I have seen articles based solely on non-English sources, so the definition of regional is unclear to me. I might bring this question to a noticeboard if there is no straightforward answer. --David Tornheim (talk) 17:11, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not a useful source towards WP:N no mattter how important a publication it is because all it does is to list her as the director.

What we need are articles that discuss her work and career in some depth, full profile articles are best I'm not convinced all of that is required under WP:NACTOR. If you can find some policy that says something like that, I'd like to see it. For the record, I am an inclusionist, and I generally err on the side of including if there is uncertainty. I can't say for certain that she meets the standard nor can I say she fails it either. She does have, at least, those two article that could be WP:RS and are about two different works, each of which might be notable. She's clearly not just some small town director with a couple of blurbs in the the town paper by her friends raving about how great she is. The real problem is I don't know the circulation of the RS I suggested. --David Tornheim (talk) 00:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Reply I checked the circulation of the Canberra Times which I may have wrongly called a local newspaper but and its weekday print is 16k copies which is not a lot I think. I don't know if this is important or not. Domdeparis (talk) 15:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The page only mentions that she acted before becoming a director in the lede and infobox it states that she is a director and writer there are no mentions in the article of her notability as an actor...I don't see how you can quote NACTOR ...and the sources that you provide concern her work as a director...so the notability criteria to quote is WP:CREATIVE. I'm happy for you that you are an inclusionist but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for notable content. If I was 100% sure that she was not notable enough I would have made a CSD or a PROD but this is a debatable case so we're looking for convincing arguments and not just "I'm not really sure so let's keep it anyway" I think. Domdeparis (talk) 10:45, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
True. I didn't consider her an actor, but a director, and the term didn't come up in a search and I mistakenly thought WP:NACTOR was closest. I may propose adding director to the WP:CREATIVE category. That's indeed a very high bar and I agree she does not meet it. I am a bit surprised is that high, especially when compared to WP:NSPORT and the plethora of articles we have on businesses that are making ordinary products that could never qualify under such a standard. --David Tornheim (talk) 15:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They've been ignored by everyone arguing "keep". As a result, I've decided the article would be better deleted, but offered yet more ways we could resolve this differently. You've responded by taking this as a personal attack. --Ronz (talk) 23:38, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The first and third source listed are interviews, which are primary sources. The second article is a short bio and a track listing. These sources hardly support notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 03:09, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Those were only some examples, as you can see in the article there is still many more of reliable sources such as XXL Magazine, Complex, The Source [4][5][6], the artist is notable and certainly deserves a wikipedia article.Kakashi123456789 (talk) 03:47, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The fourth is another interview. The fifth is a short profile that might, with other similar or better sources, together demonstrate substantial coverage. The sixth is an announcement from three years back.
Basically, there's one source here that might demonstrate notability if there were more like it. --Ronz (talk) 15:35, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I looked at each sources cited and it is a cacophony of primary source interviews, one sentence-long intros to a video, and vacuous paragraph-long bios.

  • Delete I’m not seeing anything of significance among the references provided. Most are 1st person, user submitted (such as hotnewhiphop) or trivial. While sources such as Complex, The Source, XXL, can indeed reveal secondary evidence of wikipedia notability, the coverage they have given this subject isn’t. It’s worth noting that in today’s digital media age—where websites are hungry for constant, easy content—any artist with just the smallest amount of effort is going to get the kind of coverage evidenced here: interviews, announcements of releases, inclusions on lists, credits lists, etc. This does not represent true "third party" coverage. Many of these kinds of magazines/websites, in fact, give directions to whom/and how to submit content to get the desired press. The existences of such coverage is just that: existence. Every industry has it’s unique press arm, but that doesn’t mean any thing that gets press is notable. Were that the case then, for example, every realtor in Miami would merit a wikipedia page by pointing to their trade industry profiles, listings, etc. That is precisely why the guidelines for WP:MUSIC specify that meeting criteria may be—not is—indication of notabiity. It’s not automatic without being subjected to the kind of analysis provided here.
Having said that, I am willing to give the editors arguing “keep” a chance to get me to change my ivote. While I’m reasonably well-versed in publishing and music marketing, I’ll admit I know nothing of the Miami underground hip hop scene. Looking over the edit history of these “keep” editors it appears they have a common interest and/or connection to the scene. And although a few of their histories reveal a rare or/no participation in prior AFD discussions (a tell-tale sign of their presence here being the result of possible WP:CANVASING) I’m willing to give them the benefit of doubt and hear their arguments why the Miami hip-hop scene (and it’s key proponents) are encyclopedia-worthy. It will certainly need more than what has been shown so far. The only decent reference, as pointed out by user Ronz, is the article in XXL. But if that’s it—just one—then, no, it does not represent significant coverage, and neither is being one-out-of-fifteen people listed in an article enough to merit a stand alone wikipedia entry.

  • Comment While Billboard's Twitter charts (where the artist reached #8) are deprecated, the subject is listed at #4 on Billboard's Next Big Sound charts.[51] This, combined with decent profile reviews by sources like Movement Magazine and the subject being "placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network." (WP:NMUSIC#7) by channels like BBC,[52][53][54] make this subject tend towards a Keep rather than a Delete, irrespective of the issue of sock keep !votes above. Lourdes 16:49, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Lourdes (talk) I respectfully disagree with your assessment of the sources given here. Billboard’s Next Big Sound chart is not a significant chart, it merely charts an aggregate of content downloaded on social music share sites such as Pandora, Last.fm, iheart, etc.. While tracking this info may have some value to industry professionals, for Wikipedia purposes it—like all social media aggregates—amounts to nothing when determining a subject’s notability.
Movement Magazine is local coverage of the Jacksonville, Florida music scene, and while perhaps a major third party profile therein might account for something, the example cited here does not appear to be a "decent profile review," rather it is merely an announcement of an upcoming release, the kind of standard trivial coverage that is called out in WP:NMUSIC#1 as precisely what is not an indicator of notability. Look at the link at the bottom of the page that allows one to directly submit news of events or announcements; this type of promotional content is consistent with the the vast majority of coverage this subject has gathered, very little of it representing true, independent, third party coverage.
Finally, the BBC links are not indicative of an artist being in significant rotation as cited in WP:MUSIC#7. You’ve provided archived links to 3 specific shows from the past (From Sep 10, 2012, Jan 24, 2013 and Nov. 3 2013) on the BBC 1XTRA’s Player Radio digital site, a targeted Urban-centic sub-catagory where 37 DJ’s curate playlists based on their personal preferences. For DJ’s to include a track by this artist in their lineup on four occasions over the past 5 years (I found another one from Sep 26, 2014) is a separate debate of notability; it emphatically is not the same as being on rotation on BBC1 (or any of their other main stations).
I still stand by my delete vote registered April 7. I’ve followed the comments here—as I wrote that I would—with a good-faith view to have my mind changed. Although googling his name returns tons of hits, none of them are beyond trivial, self-promotional, social media, or being including among a list. Considering his first proper release is coming later this year (per his social media comments) this is, at best, WP:TOOSOON. ShelbyMarion (talk) 09:21, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. I appreciate and respect your viewpoint on the Billboard charts and BBC links. While various Billboard charts have been deprecated, the Billboard chart I have given is explicitly not deprecated. While I respect your view, unless consensus exists that this chart that I have quoted cannot be used, charting on this chart provides NMUSIC support to the subject. Additionally, my view is the same with BBC. I'll request you to search and find out the listings where BBC provides national playlists. A national radio channel has presenters/DJs who select songs based on their popularity. And the subject being selected by multiple DJs on BBC over a significant time period is evidence of WP:NMUSIC#7 being achieved. Let me reiterate, I appreciate your viewpoints and see them as a logical perspective and interpretation too. Thanks. Lourdes 01:37, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fair points. Thanks, Lourdes (talk) . BTW, where are these discussions that determine policy? I’ve asked before but didn’t get much direction. I feel the insight from my background in music marketing can benefit the wikipedia community. IMO, some of the criteria could use more clarity, even hardline definition. Billboard’s Next Big Sound Chart needs assessing. It’s true that it is not among those listed as deprecated, but I couldn’t find it listed among those that are acceptable, either. It may simply be so unimportant that it’s never been given consideration. I find it curious that Billboard Twitter charts have been discounted, but their Next Big Sound Chart—a tracking of online social activity regardless of context—hasn’t. (See: https://help.nextbigsound.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2547277-what-is-next-big-sound ) While I believe social media numbers can, in fact, reveal helpful information, they are susceptible to having their numbers corrupted by those savvy enough to know how to do it. And if this subject—Yung Simmie—has convinced me of anything it’s that he (or someone or an agency working on his behalf) knows all too well how to use the internet as a tool for promotion. ShelbyMarion (talk) 15:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subject lacks sustained coverage in multiple reliable sources. There is passing mention in a few books [55][56] and directories[57][58] that prove this company existed, but that's about all we have. At access.newspaperarchive.com there's some brief mentions in old newspapers of an explosion in 1929 that killed 2, a strike that was settled in 1937... looks like a 'run of the mill' mill that was around for a long time. The company holds some patents, but I don't see evidence that they were significant inventions. Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:17, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. You have to search under its later name "Diamond Tool." Here's an article about it's significance in the sport of Horsehoe Pitching[59]. There's substantial coverage here[60] which also indicates that the controversy over the company's acquisition was covered in the NY Times. Local coverage here[61], which also suggests that substantial coverage in the local paper exists at the time for expanding the article.--Jahaza (talk) 19:09, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The second two are more evidence that this run-of-the-mill company existed for a long time. The first one is intriguing, but it appears to be a personal website, belonging to Bob Dunn. Who is that? If we had a reliable source to back up the things Dunn has on his website, I think that might count for something. The basic claim is that Diamond was "instrumental" in organizing and promoting horseshoe pitching in the 20s and 30s. If that is accurate, then there ought to be independent newspaper, books or magazines that say that. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:38, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bob Dunn is the author of the article, which is an archived version of an article printed in the 90's in the official journal of the (US) National Horseshoe Pitching Association. There's a similar article here[62] from Canada's horseshoe pitching association. A reprint of an article from Anvil Magazine here[63], more about Swanstrom and the company (for verifiability if not notability here[64], company was considered important enough to be included in an oral history project here[65], a brand successor to the company still exists[66].--Jahaza (talk) 20:51, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I found the company mentioned by several books (Google Books in the search results). In addition, major/relevant publications mention the company such as India Times and Anvil Magazine.[67][68] The historical history of technology is important because over the long term this often has far greater impact than the "history of great men/women". The historian Ferdinand Braudel in his book Capitalism and the Material Life convincingly points this out. In addition, there is a definite audience for this article given the amount of tinkers/inventors/history buffs, etc. in society. Knox490 (talk) 07:15, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I looked at all 15 sources cited in the article (except for the dead link, but including the two which auto-played videos at me and damnear locked up my browser). None of them is about him, and at least three are by him 1 2 3. The mention of him in at least one is about his tweets 4 ("He is also prone to a tweetstorm and joins in the debates on the big ad-tech and media topics of the day."). This citation is trivial almost beyond belief - it's just of a photograph. There is one generally WP:RS source: the Wall Street Journal. In that citation, the part about him reads in full as follows: "And many still derive significant revenue from selling premium ads like video and custom content directly, said Eric Franchi, co-founder of the digital ad firm Undertone".

WP:NOT - WP:CRYSTAL (spirit, not letter), "Case studies...oak trees in North Carolina example", WP:NOT#ESSAY / WP:NOT#OR (combining WP:PRIMARYNEWS needing WP:OR), so WP:NOTNEWS, "Opinion pieces" WP:NOTOPINION "Wikipedia authors should strive to write articles that will not quickly become obsolete" which this fails. Brexit hasn't happened and won't for two years from now, but Wikipedia has an article on the "effects of that event on science and technology". This has to be the most preposterous article I've seen. If we knew what Brexit is, yes, but we don't, so this is speculation on speculation - one step too far. (per WP:CRYSTAL 1. Brexit is OK, but effects based on a negotiable-yet-to-happen future event fails 1. per 2032 U.S. presidential election example, and not like Ultimate fate of the universe as it's yet to be determined by being negotiable, so fails 3. and 5. (product) rumour is pertinent "Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content." - but does not apply to this)

Brexit and arrangements for ... industry a, b, c, or place x, y, z, (i.e. Who, What, Where, When, Why) may be important news but all such articles will need rewriting once Brexit has been agreed, and are crystal-ish essay forks of Brexit / Aftermath of the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 2016 bearable as a section of an article, but even as a spinout article irreparable due to WP:RECENTISM "Articles overburdened with documenting controversy as it happens.

  • Keep per Talk:Effects of Brexit on science and technology 08:04, 5 April 2017 (UTC): the content is open to further improvement, such as some trimming and rephrasing in the usual way (like many other articles), but there is no need to treat its notability as doubtful. Brexit hasn't happened- Quite so, as the opening sentence states: "The effects of Brexit... include prospective changes to current arrangements related to scientific research, development and innovation that are within the scope of the negotiation between the United Kingdom and the European Union prior to Britain's withdrawal from the European Union." That can be read as a "long title". But, given that the current ("short") title has an unintended "crystal" air about it, that could be avoided by using a title such as Brexit and arrangements for science and technology. Before slapping on generically hostile and underserved tags, would it not be more helpful in respect of a new article under construction to pinpoint what are seen as parts needing improvement: where specifically do you see a problem? In my view, every UNESCO cite should give its page number. Qexigator (talk) 09:58, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is not simply about aftermath, as if there is now a new common era called "Anno Brexiti". It is about circumstances affecting ongoing real-life policy and negotiations for rearrangments under international treaties in respect of academic and other funding, trade, and industry, relevant to opportunities and outcomes for persons working in science and technology, and the product of their work, and for commerce and the public interest at large. The current version's section "Notice of withdrawal, March 2017" could be trimmed. On the whole the rest is factual not 'crystalling', including reporting on concerns expressed in "Public comment up to March 2017".Qexigator (talk) 14:10, 5 April 2017 (UTC) + 14:19, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Perhaps a name change is in effect, but the article is sourced to reliable sources, passing WP:GNG. WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply here because it's verifiable, sourced, speculation about the future, not baseless guessing, which is what CRYSTAL covers.

Agree technically, except it still fails "Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content". The claims are wild in the article. My point being it's more like 2032 U.S. presidential election than 2020 U.S. presidential election in crystal as it's based on effects of an event that hasn't been negotiated, so speculation on the effects of a distant future deal, which is a step too far for a topic in that it will need a complete scrap and rewrite after Brexit, per the several objections above. Widefox; talk 00:17, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That quote comes from the bullet point about announcements and rumours for products, which obviously doesn't apply. Brexit is not a product, and even if it was, it's certainly not a rumour, with Article 50 having been recently triggered, there's a two-year deadline before some kind of Brexit happens, and there's plenty of verifiable speculation about the effects of that on science. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 12:42, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks my mistake (I've corrected nom above). It's clear crystal does allow this, so it's more a value judgement of the news vs encyclopaedic content possible summed up in the other concerns. It's a lot like trying to write an article on economic effects of Brexit - impossible to get balance and weight and all WP:PRIMARYNEWS, and will need scrapping. Considering importance of Brexit, guess no way to stop this kind of speculation. Widefox; talk 23:30, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, as the article consists mostly of original research based on primary sources, mostly newspaper clippings and politicians' speeches ("on this and this day minister Hammond said...", "on this and this day some academics from some university wrote an open letter...", and so on). This is hardly surprising, because the subject relates to an ongoing process where secondary sources (analyses, compilations, reviews) do not yet exist. However, this fact does not absolve the article from violating WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOR. I do not think an original piece of writing that just synthesises the predictions appearing in public media is what an encyclopaedic article should be about. — kashmiri TALK 16:58, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: We may safely surmise that, given the article's content and reflist, not even a casual reader is likely to mistake it as based mostly on 'newspaper clippings'. The lead summarises: When the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 was passed in March 2017, the terms of Britain's disengagement were unknown. The outlook was uncertain for patent protection of innovation and for the future funding of scientific research, and opinions differed on whether scientific research and development would be affected by a loss of mobility and international collaboration, or whether Britain's withdrawal from the European Union (EU) should be seen as an opportunity to expand scientific collaboration.

@Qexigator: That's my view of the content, and I was rather reserved. If you want me say truly what I think of this article, then - the entire article is a personal essay that should never be included in any publication that purports to be an encyclopaedia of any kind. The article content is nothing but sheer guessing. Brexit has not yet happened and it is by no means certain that it will happen at all (although it is likely). However, we are still talking about guessed future effects of one possible course of political developments. Maybe you will next write an article entitled Effects of winter 2024 on Alascan flora, basing it on Canadian government whitepapers, UN climate change reports, articles in New York Post and blogs of local politicians? — kashmiri TALK 21:53, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Kashmiri, for explaining your opinion about the article, about which, as before said, I disagree: the article is not guessing, but reporting encyclopedically information about concerns notably expressed in a current debate on a major national and international policy issue. You should not imply that I am the author of this article, but as its history and Talk page shows I have made some edits to improve it, as well as to related articles. I fail to see the point of your allusion to Canada white papers. I am well aware that "Brexit has not yet happened and it is by no means certain that it will happen at all (although it is likely)", and have made that point in Talk elsewhere, and edited to that effect. In short, your comment is way off the mark, for no good reason that I can discern. Qexigator (talk) 22:13, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An album does not need to be released to to be notable - note the years and years Chinese Democracy existed before release, or Detox (album) for that matter. Truly, truly terrible nomination, showing a complete misunderstanding of our notability standards. Please consider withdrawing this nomination. Sergecross73 msg me 01:16, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No. I will not withdraw the nomination. Regardless of how many magazines have fallen for this hoax, the subject of the article does not exist. Kellymoat (talk) 01:23, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That makes even less sense than your nomination. Unreleased albums are not "hoaxes". Hoaxes are deliberate lies portrayed as truth. Do you have any evidence for such an outlandish claim? Even if you did, it wouldnt matter, as it still wouldn't negate third party reliable source coverage, which is the ultimate requirement here. Sergecross73 msg me 01:38, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
After six years, with no album, how can it not be a hoax. Those "reliable" sources are simply putting out press releases that the artist tells them to put out. They don't have the album either.
That's my evidence of it being a hoax. THERE'S NO ALBUM. No one can prove that it is anything other than an album because there isn't one. Kellymoat (talk) 02:08, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A hoax would only be if he spoke about making an album without any intent of actually making one, and without actually recording anything. There is no proof of such a scenario. Just because there wasn't a commercial release doesn't make it a hoax. It could just be recorded music sitting in a studio. But again, none of that has anything to do with Wikipedia's notability standards, I'm just disputing your dubious claims with that. To meet the WP:GNG, you need multiple, third party sources discussing the subject in significant detail. This article has way more than what is generally considered a minimal amount to meet the GNG. Conversely, your deletion nomination isn't centered around sourcing or the GNG. It's invalid. This is an open and shut case. Sergecross73 msg me 02:24, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, no one is reporting on an album simply because there hasn't been an album. These so-called reliable sources are simply stating what they've been told - told by the very artist that has not released the album.
We've had 6 years of waiting. Wikipedia isn't free advertising for the entertainment industry. It needs gone.Kellymoat (talk) 03:30, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And as I've said, whether or not it is released is not part of our notability requirements. It simply does not matter. (Feel free to point to a policy that says otherwise.) Unreleased albums are less likely to have their own articles, because they tend to not have third party reliable source coverage, but that is simply not the case here. Also, your argument is growing contradictory now. You can't accuse the subject to be both a "hoax" and "promotional" - that doesn't make any sense. How can something supposedly not exist, and have never existed, but also be used in a promotional manner? Why would you have concerns over promoting something that does not exist? Conceptually, you need to pick and argument, and stick with it. (Though my stance is that neither apply.) Using both doesn't make any sense, especially considering that the article's tone isn't overtly promotional, and is largely written according to unconnected third party sources. Sergecross73 msg me 12:47, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also of note, a record label exec has confirmed it for a 2017 release. And it's not a hoax, with a copy being illegally bought by someone, and leaking a track online. So virtually all aspects of this nomination are false.Sergecross73 msg me 15:41, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - To be clear, the sourcing found in doing just a very basic search out is even better than what's present in the article. The album has received dedicated articles written by some of the highest profile reliable sources in the music industry (and all RS's per consensus at WP:MUSIC/SOURCES):
  1. Billboard (Major music magazine/website, decade spanning, one of the biggest authorities in music.)
  2. Billboard again
  3. MTV, quite possibly the biggest television source in the music world
  4. MTV again
  5. B.E.T (a national television network)
  6. B.E.T. again
  7. Fuse, another television based source. Very lengthy article detailing the album's development
  8. Pitchfork a long running general music website.
  9. Vibe, a long running rap/rnb magazine/website
  10. XXL, long running print magazine and website
And that's just the peak of the iceberg. I could double the list if there was any doubt. This album has received more RS cover than many albums that are released. Two or three of these would be enough to scrape by the minimum of the GNG. We're well past the minimum required to have an article here. Sergecross73 msg me 15:41, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am not denying that a press agent sent out a couple scripts, which media outlets then reported on.
But at some point, "the album" needs to become an album instead of "an idea". By keeping the article, all we are doing is furthering the propaganda. Kellymoat (talk) 16:28, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Did you even both to look at all the article you missed when you failed to follow through on WP:BEFORE? None of the sources I presented are press releases, interviews, or remotely promotional. Most address release issues, recording details, related lawsuits, disagreements with management, and all sorts of notable commentary in creating the album. And they're all third party sourcing from high level sources with WikiProject-level consensus for their use. Your response is a sloppy and thoughtless attempt to discount strong sourcing, an approach that, actually put into practice, would make it impossible to source virtually anything on Wikipedia. Luckily, nothing you've said above has anything to do with Wikipedia policy or guidelines - you've yet to cite anything at all. You're operating entirely on your own personal opinions on what articles should exist, and flimsy ones at that. Sergecross73 msg me 17:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the sources found by Sergecross73. Even though this album was not released (and it is doubtful that it will ever be released), it still has received enough attention and coverage from reliable, third-party sources to support its notability. I would recommend to the nominator that he or she please ground AfDs in Wikipedia policy and guidelines to avoid issues like this in the future. I have noticed this kind of nomination being a recurring factor in this user's past AfDs; if you want to be involved with the AfD process, then I would strongly encourage you to better familiarize yourself with the policies and guidelines.

    • My take is that these are simply sports interviews for the most part, not articles about her. She’s kind of a novelty, young, but not really having accomplished a lot yet. Has a lot of PR, but not really notability-level. There are a lot of junior riders who win national events, we don’t give most of them their own articles. But I don’t have particularly strong feelings about the issue; if others want to do a WP:HEY and improve it, they can. Montanabw(talk) 03:25, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Per WP:ENT. She has had several significant roles in notable television shows and movies. Her significant roles, such as in Little Bear, can easily be found by just searching. A couple of seconds alone verified her role as Little Bear. SL93 (talk) 01:30, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sourcing is required to verify all of that. No sourcing = no verification of notability. The article is currently unsourced – if it's still unsourced in a week, it should probably be deleted. --IJBall (contribstalk) 03:40, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

      • And...really? - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raymond Thompson. SL93 (talk) 04:59, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • No, that's exactly how AfD works – notability is demonstrated by sourcing. That's the only real way to demonstrate whether an individual is notable or not. And "really?" what?... --IJBall (contribstalk) 05:00, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • True, but the keep voters don't need to add those sources to the article. It's not required. The really refers to your comment in that AfD, which is also currently unsourced. SL93 (talk) 05:02, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
            • "Keep" voters that don't add sources aren't worth much IMO, especially if they quote no sources here either. If you believe an article is worth keeping, you find the sourcing and add it to the article. That's what I do. Meanwhile, the Raymond Thompson discussion belongs at that AfD, not this one... In any case, you've apparently got one source for this one, and it's no more than a passing mention. This one needs much more to merit a "Keep" vote. --IJBall (contribstalk) 05:07, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
              • I don't need more than to verify multiple roles to make it pass WP:ENT, passing mentions or not. I can show more references to prove the roles if it makes you happy. I don't think hypocritical opinions (as in the above mentioned other AfD) are worth much either. SL93 (talk) 05:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
              • I have also been participating in AfDs for years, including for many entertainers. I do know that verifying multiple significant roles is enough to keep an article. SL93 (talk) 05:15, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
                • It's not – what verifies that roles are "notable" is independent sourcing. WP:NACTOR does not trump WP:BASIC, it's meant to support it. --IJBall (contribstalk) 12:19, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
                • Actually, yes, you do "need more than to verify multiple roles to make it pass WP:ENT, passing mentions or not". NACTOR is not passed just because multiple roles are asserted, because every actor who's ever had roles at all would clear ENT if asserting the roles were all it took. We've seen people try to claim an NACTOR pass on the basis of a person having had two unnamed extra roles, in fact. NACTOR is passed only when the depth and quality of sourcing shows that the performer was the subject of substantive media coverage in reliable sources for those roles — even the question of whether the roles were "major" enough to count as significant for the purposes of passing NACTOR lives or dies on the quality of the sources that can be shown to support the majorness of the roles. Bearcat (talk) 06:52, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
                  • If that is the case, then WP:NACTOR and the rest of the supplementary guidelines are really not needed. All that Wikipedia would need is the GNG. SL93 (talk) 20:56, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
                    • Not true. If all we "needed" was the GNG, and we had no supplementary guidelines to clarify what counts as a notability claim in the first place, then we would have to start keeping articles about everybody who ever got into their local newspaper for doing anything at all — including presidents of church bake sale committees or condominium boards, teenagers who got human interest pieces written about them because they tried out for the high school football team despite having only nine toes, winners of high school poetry contests, the woman a mile down the road from my parents who got into the media for waking up one morning to find a pig in her yard, and me. So no, neither SNGs nor the GNG exempt a person who passes one of them from having to pass the other too. A person whose notability passes an SNG does still have to be sourceable to media coverage for their passage of the SNG, and a person who has media coverage for the purposes of GNG still has to have that coverage be in a context that counts as a notability claim under an SNG.

We don't keep articles with a refimprove tag on them just because it's theoretically possible that the referencing might become improvable someday. For Kristin Fairlie to get that treatment, the onus is on you to definitively show that the necessary depth of sourcing about her does exist — it's not enough to just say that the necessary depth of sourcing might just maybe possibly exist without showing hard evidence that it is really out there for real. Anybody could just say that better sources might someday show up about anything or anyone who exists at all — the way to earn a "keep and flag for refimprove" is to show that better sources do exist to improve the article with. Bearcat (talk) 17:06, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
What determines a pass or fail of WP:ENT is not the simple listing of roles — every actor who exists at all would pass ENT if listing roles were all it took. Whether an actor gets a Wikipedia article or not hinges on whether she has garnered sufficient reliable source coverage for those roles, but there's still no evidence of that being shown here. Bearcat (talk) 16:56, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete is where I come down on this. Fairlie has actually had some substantial credits. But the projects themselves are of the type that don't generate a lot of independent coverage, so what coverage there is for her is... on the "light" side. In fact, that is generally true of voice actors – they generally don't get press coverage. --IJBall (contribstalk) 05:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep she has been in enough major productions that I consider her to be as notable as an actor having only two notable roles in two notable works--just as long as that laundry list of roles can be verified. If there is any reason to believe the list has major errors, I would reconsider. --David Tornheim (talk) 12:31, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mjällby

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. This is more of an internal Wikipedia style matter than a question of subject, but the side that has supported deletion have correctly pointed out that several articles on the page merely have "Brexit" in them as part of the title, not separate articles that would have been titled "Brexit" and which require disambiguation. The examples cited by the "Keep" side, such as "Brexit Secretary" are unconvincing. That article on the person responsible for managing the process would not have been titled with merely "Brexit" in any case. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:19, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dab with a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC plus a single ambiguous WP:RELATED-ish item (the movie) and several WP:PTM non-ambiguous items (all related) which can all be covered in the primary topic  Done.

  • Keep. Several of the items aren't really barred WP:PTM, which deals with examples like not listing the Louisville Zoo at Zoo, and not listing the Mississippi River at River, or North Carolina at North. Brexit Act for example, the specific part is "Brexit", not "Act", and it should be listed just like the Patriot Act is at Patriot. Same with the Brexit referendum, where "Brexit" is the specific part, and which was widely just called "Brexit' in reliable sources in the immediate aftermath (e.g. [79], [80]). Those two along with the Brexit talks, are all valid DAB entries since it is plausible to just refer to them as Brexit, or to reasonbly infer that they could be refered to that way. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 18:54, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
PTM means asking oneself if the topic is referred to solely as "Brexit" which none of them are (apart from the movie). That's standard procedure, rather than barring rules. The other vital aspect is all these are WP:RELATED, so can be covered in the primary topic. There's actually only one topic, which is Brexit plus related items. As such a hatnote at the primary topic and links in the body cover it, and spares synthetic generation of non-ambiguous in a dab failing TWODABS. (and the first source is a primary reaction piece talking about a Brexit, nobody refers to the referendum as "Brexit" - people voted for Brexit. As for Brexit Act vs Patriot Act the difference isn't just the latter is the official name, the former not and isn't even bolded as an alternative title in the article or even mentioned - it's just a redirect (Google "Brexit Act" and first hit is "Theresa May must get second Brexit Act through Parliament after EU ." - it's just technicalities of steps leading to Brexit), it's that nobody refers to the act as solely Brexit which is the standard procedure. It's that simple. That's why the Brexit Act is stable in the see also as edit consensus says it isn't solely known as "Brexit".) Widefox; talk 20:04, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:PTM means taking out partial title matches where there is no significant risk of confusion or reference, which isn't the case here. I've already provided two links above that refer to the Brexit referendum as Brexit, or at least in a way that could reasonably be confused for Brexit. Other sources use the term in similarly ambiguous ways. Wednesday briefing: Did Putin interfere in Brexit?, No, Russia didn't deliver Brexit – the will of the people cannot be hacked, Yes, Vladimir Putin Tried to Hack #Brexit – But Brits Paid No Attention, and Russia Brexit meddling? Labour MPs DEMAND inquiry over Putin's influence in Leave vote all use "Brexit" to refer to the referendum vote allegedly affected by the Russians. Brexit: foreign states may have interfered in vote, report says, where an ambiguious referent structure could lead the unware to think Brexit was the vote, or the report. Other times, it's unclear if Brexit refers to the exit, the exit talks, or the department responsible for Brexit. For example, we have Who is in charge of Brexit? ‘It’s all very difficult,’ says Hammond and Theresa May Made The Man In Charge Of Brexit Carry Her Handbag, where the title's use of Brexit refers to people leading the Brexit department in charge of the Brexit talks, but surely not someone who is totally in charge of removing the UK from the EU, which would require bilateral action. It may seem clear to Brits or those familiar with Brexit, but to many of our readers, it's not so clear what Brexit is, so it's reasonable to refer to many of these entries as just Brexit. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:50, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, taking a look at the page history, this claim that there's an "edit consensus" that only Brexit and the movie are valid DAB entries, seems to be solely based on you moving the other entries down after This is Paul created the page, only to be reverted by Mhockey, and then you re-reverting him. If anything, that shows that of the editors who took a stance on the issue, there was a slight preference for having the referendum as a DAB entry. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 06:07, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Check again - the two sources I checked (Guardian, BBC) do not refer to either topic as "Brexit". As such, they don't support the position that they are referred to as solely "Brexit". Nobody refers to them as such, as per the consensus at the dab that this is not the case. Brexit's an important topic but creating this dab doesn't assist readers. Maybe an Index or something would be useful? (although I'll give you that the dab Defence does list Defence minister as a sub entry of National security disambiguating grouped entries, but more typical / straightforward Education (disambiguation) doesn't list Education minister) Widefox; talk 22:06, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be being over-pedantic on this, and even admit that other articles follow similar rules, so are you planning to list those for deletion as well? I'm kinda lost here. Also, I'm wondering if anyone else's head is starting to hurt. This is Paul (talk) 17:57, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"over-pedantic" as in correct per guideline, I'd agree thanks. The only two keeps here are Patar (who's disagreeing with me in several places - nothing implied by that), and you as creator. Consensus is clear so far amongst dab project members here where we do this "pedantry" called disambiguation. It wasn't even my idea to delete, but someone else's at the project. Widefox; talk 15:31, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, apart from the film, there is no actual ambiguity being addressed by this page. olderwiser 20:21, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Brexit is the overwhelming WP:PRIMARY meaning; the film can be dealt with by a hatnote. The other entries on the DAB page under discussion are all subsidiary to the primary topic. None is known simply as Brexit, but always as Brexit-something-or-other. They can be listed in a "See also" section in the primary article; or if that gets too big, perhaps split out into a list of Brexit-related topics.
Quaere: does this DAB page help readers find their way around Wikipedia? My answer - no.
