The article has no content other than one name, and even that is contested (sources, all offline, appear to vary on his social group identity). What's left is the line "Sikh Rajputs are followers of Sikhism belonging to the Rajput caste" which is a mere tautology. regentspark (comment) 19:36, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

- Delete: There is not enough academic work detailing “Sikh Rajputs” as a distinct group. Most references just detail that some Rajputs converted to Sikhism which is not really worthy of an article. Other Rajput subgroup pages like Sindhi Rajputs, Punjabi Rajputs, Bihari Rajputs have also been deleted.31.100.154.51 (talk) 14:44, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Dos Yiddishe Licht. Two people argued to merge, but the counter-argument that without references, you don't have WP:V, precludes a merge. Still, the suggested merge target does mention this, so a redirect, per WP:ATD seems reasonable. The history is still available, so if anybody wants to mine this for material to merge. If you do that, however, you need to find WP:RS to support any merged material. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:38, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Keep. Mostly notable as Das Yiddishe Licht, and not the newer Beleichtungen. Title probably should be the newer one, but Das Yiddishe Licht should redirect here. As a Yiddish paper in Jerusalem - English BEFOREing won't get you far (though I suspect the yiddishkeit rags in New York probably do refer, in Yiddish, to the Jerusalem Yiddish rag). There are however quite a few Yiddish (which is harder for me to assess RS-wise) and Hebrew hits, for instance: This academic paper on the use of Hebrew and the Yiddish language used in DYL (lots of different types of Yiddish are extant - though following the Holocaust, it has all become a mishmash)..... Here a Haredi paper refers to DYL. Quite a few Hebrew book hits, harking back quite a bit (e.g. 1945) - [2][3][4][5][6][7]. I would expect even more hits in Yiddish literature - whose online availability is spotty, to say the least (Hebrew ain't great either online, but there's quite a bit more). Icewhiz (talk) 09:20, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
- Merge to Dos Yiddishe Licht. As a DYL was created too, and since I do not think Beleichtungen is independentally notable from DYL per my search - a merge to there, leaving a redirect, is probably the best course.Icewhiz (talk) 19:38, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- Partial merge to a disambiguation page. Unless there is enough material for a standalone page, I think a redirect to a disambiguation page instead of an unrelated newspaper would be preferable and less confusing for readers. 24.84.14.158 (talk) 22:43, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- When the material is withou any references it simply does not make it as a new article. If the material somehow, usually through overight, has already made it as an article, we do not send it elsewhere but eliminate it altogether. -The Gnome (talk) 10:16, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

A non-notable subject, the article qualifies for deletion per WP:BLP1E. The subject is notable only for one event, being appointed as commissioner of the LDS Church Educational System. WP:BEFORE source searches are providing no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources other than this article about the subject's appointment. Fleeting passing mentions, name checks and brief quotations found in source searches do not establish notability. North America1000 22:24, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

- Keep with the argument that the poster's misbehavior is moot, as their singular sentence is so sparse one can hardly argue it is promotional. It was, however, extremely inaccurate. The paper seems to have a very interesting history as the first Marxist periodical published in the Latvian language, dating back to the 1800s. It also looks to be an interesting glimpse into the history of Latvian American immigrants, a group no doubt lacking some coverage on Wikipedia due to systemic bias. If the sourcing seems sparse, a redirect to List of newspapers in Latvia would also be logical from where I'm standing. 24.84.14.158 (talk) 20:17, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for improving the article, however having a somewhat short history involving certain diaspora still doesn't make it notable per WP:NEWSNOTE. GN-z11 ☎ ★ 16:47, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- More on this: checking the two book references, it doesn't seem that there's any substantial mention of Auseklis; rather, it's a passing and non-substantial mention (at the most, searching its name only brings up 1 or 2 results in the entire book). Therefore, I do believe it fails WP:GNG. Levvyowo? 17:24, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

- Orchards of the world (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)
There are two problems with this article. The first is that the content of the article directly states that "Orchards of the world is a nickname for Mediterranean forests:", which, if true, would mean that this should not be a standalone article, but rather should redirect to Mediterranean forest. The second issue is that there doesn't appear to be any reliable source coverage that actually establishes that "Orchards of the world" is used to refer to such forests. It appears to be a phrase used in Excellup brand teaching materials, based on both this source cited in the article [8] and an internet search whose top hits were Answers.com pages with titles like "Why are Mediterranean forests called the orchards of the world". Previously nominated for PROD, dePROD by an editor with no other edits who asserted that this article is needed because the nickname is true

Searching on google, there is no third-party mention of him from a source that could be remotely considered reliable. There is nothing in the article that can be saved, and the article cannot be rewritten as there is no source-able information on the subject. SWL36 (talk) 21:19, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- Strong Delete All the references are primary. Google search gives nothing as "Xavier Khan Vattayil", but "Vattayil Achan" gives loads of youtube videos, plus his supporters asking flattering questions about him on Quora (What makes Fr.Xavier Khan Vattayil a successful charismatic speaker?). However, not a single material Malaysian or Indian RS on him as a subject. Article is highly WP:PROMO and I am sure a WP:COI as well. Britishfinance (talk) 14:05, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

This is an article about a Japanese musician. I'm not so much arguing for deletion, as I'm requesting help from Japanese-speaking editors in finding out whether there are enough Japanese-language sources out there to pass WP:GNG.

PROD removed for reason: "I think it has enough references in books to meet WP:GNG." Well, I'd be interested to know just what book references there are to establish GNG. Here there are no references to the Victoria Ground in Leeds and here the mentions are nowhere enough for notability. Bear in mind the location of this ground wasn't even known prior to old OS maps being released, so it's hardly well covered. Beyond that, the ground did not host a first-class match, as the match was cancelled. So it fails WP:CRIN and beyond that it fails WP:GNG. StickyWicket (talk) 10:22, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Notable park. Variously called "Leeds Royal Park", "Leeds New Gardens", "Tommy Clapham’s Park", "Leeds Horticultural Gardens" ([9] (page 2)). Sources to satisfy WP:GNG include [10] p 62-67, [11] p77-79, [12], [13] and [14] It was clearly a notable location in Leeds, not just used for cricket ([15], [16]). It was converted into public gardens and the roads Royal Park Road, Royal Park Grove, Royal Park Road Avenue and Royal Park Terrace were named after it. Appears to have been the site of the first Balloon-related death in the UK, in 1887 ([17]). Cricket-wise it hosted matches involving William Clarke's All-England Eleven ([18]), and regularly Leeds Cricket Club vs e.g. York and Bradford (e.g. [19]), and was regarded by some as the principal cricket ground in Leeds ([20]). A 1902 work of fiction commented on "the bye-gone glories of Tommy Clapham's park, an institution which was at one time part and parcel of the town of Leeds, and which far outshone in popularity the vaunted glories of Roundhay Park or any other of the present-day amusements provided for the toiling masses of the city" ([21]).--Pontificalibus 12:41, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

- Hello, I share the lack of love. If anyone wants to add some names I don't have an issue but they can't be just dropped names. I stopped after randomly picking three, Bajram Ajeti, Bersant Celina, and Mërgim Hereqi. The last one claims Kosovan-Albanian descent in the lead but is unsourced and the other two have no mention of descent so sourcing would be important. Twenty thousand immigrants may or may not be a threshold for notability to a country and the slippery slope could be new lists of any minor immigration to all countries. A main concern with the list of notable people, not backed by sources, that their families might be war related immigrants or actually just migrated or "moved".

- Delete. Avondale AZ is not a global city for the purposes of extablishing the notability of its city councillors under WP:NPOL, so the inclusion tests he would have to meet are that either (a) he had another claim of notability for other reasons that would have already gotten him an article anyway, such as serving in the state legislature at another time in his career, or (b) he could be referenced so much better than most other city councillors (i.e. to nationalizing media coverage) that he had a credible claim to being special. But neither of these conditions are in evidence here at all, and the referencing depends far too heavily on primary sources that do not aid notability at all — although the tangential fact about Avondale's economic growth, referenced to CNN with the link title "Please create a screen name to access this feature", is amusing, it's not evidence of his notability as it isn't about him.

- Keep, although perhaps not exactly in this form (and clearly with a more verbose introduction to provide context). This is a very different situation that a list of geographical features from a work of fiction. Sourcing this isn't hard. Schiaparelli and Lowell are in the public domain, easily accessible, and can be cited for the names and purported locations. This list, and its partner article classical albedo features on Mars serve to document what was believed to be the geography of Mars by astronomers of the late 19th to early 20th century. Now, obviously, they were wrong. But I think the principle of "once notable, always notable" applies (for example, luminiferous aether). We keep legitimate lists of legitimately named features on the planets of the Solar System. This is such a list... it just happens that none of the features actually exist.

- Keep. Of historical interest. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:36, 15 February 2019 (UTC).
- Keep but probably rename, refocus, merge into article on a "real" topic, or some combination of all of them or more. "Notability" isn't technically affected by the fact that the theory in question has been debunked, but rather just makes all the older sources on it out of date and wrong: newer sources would be needed to contextualize the topic, but I don't see strong evidence that such sources do not exist. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:42, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep as information on an influential historic classification scheme. This is history of science, not fiction; we're not about to throw out the properties of the phlogiston either. - Needs a serious lede, and sourcing of individual names might take some digging, as most were coined by either Schiaparelli and Lowell (principally), and one might have to turn to the original sources to find out which. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 01:40, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. The topic of Martian canals is notable (they have an WP article). I have added links to articles in Nature and Scientific American about them. Obviously the theory turned out to be bogus but that does not diminish from the considerable time and investigation by leading academics (plus wider public) in this issue (there are loads of references to this topic on any google search). My issue however is where this exact list came from? I have added external links to PDF copies of Lovell's book and the relevant Chapter IV on the Canals. However, I am not sure how this list compares (it is not a direct extraction). I guess we still have a potential WP:V issue (but not a notability issue), but given that the lists/diagrams exist, it it solvable task, and clearly someone went to great trouble to complete this list many years ago implying that it is probably right. However, all of this should no prevent the article from being kept. Britishfinance (talk) 20:22, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

This article's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). The references are dependent, local and unreliable. As per WP:INTREF Wikipedia referencing guide, the subject's own website is not an acceptable reference.

- Week keep: There is always the old other stuff argument when that is not only generally a bad argument but not supported by any policies or guidelines. The company has been around a long time and even though likely rated outside the top ten (was #11) I can see some notability although a search seems to be more about the class action lawsuit. That is not abnormal as GAF, Owen Corning, Atlas, CertainTeed, IKO, and Globe Building Materials (probably others) along with Tamko, had these suits over roof failures (and fading), deceptive warranties, substandard roofing shingle manufacturing, false advertising, etc..., for fiberglass, organic, and asphalt shingles. My issue is that because a company has good advertising, as shown by mostly primary sources, does not equate to notability regardless of how much we like it. Adding more primary sources to support notability does not make the case. Otr500 (talk) 14:20, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

- Author Comment. Thanks for pinging my talk page! If I understand, there are two questions: notability and whether it’s promotional.
- I don’t think the page falls foul of elements 1 - 4 in WP:PROMOTION. It appears neutral and factual. Element 5 states that it’s promotional if not notable — thus your citation of WP:NPRODUCT. Makes sense!
- (WP:NPRODUCT says “if a company is notable, information on its products and services should generally be included in the article on the company itself”, and “a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable in its own right.” On Draft:Reincubate, I see kvng suggests “it may be possible to recast this as an article on iPhone Backup Extractor”.)
- With reference to WP:GNG, the page’s citations group into these:
-
Tech blogs & podcasts: hard to asses independence, reliability.
Release note chronology: clearly not secondary.
Review aggregators: not suitable for notability.
National press and government coverage around the royal award. Meets the WP:ORGCRIT tests for multiple significant, independent, reliable, secondary. (Fits “substantial”, too.)
- WP:PSTS provides examples of coverage that includes “a scholarly article, a book passage, or ongoing media coverage focusing on a product or organization” and “an extensive how-to guide written by people wholly independent of the company or product”. There are examples of both of these for the product in question at Draft:Reincubate. Would it be helpful if I edit the article's talk page proposing an edit to include them?
- It’s been challenging digging out examples of similar products and companies on Wikipedia in order to see how it is done well. ScreenFlow is a much-edited and well-regard page, but has no notable sources at all. I’m not arguing WP:WHATABOUTX, but am curious to find good examples!

- Author Comment. Following up on Kvng’s request for WP:ORGCRIT enumeration to support a keep... apologies for the delay, I’ve been reading forensics books.
- Regarding notable award coverage, strong citations are the London Gazette entry here [25] and the Southwark News article [26] (which you mentioned in your comment).
- On the “book passage” criteria, there are a number of books with passages on iPhone Backup Extractor in forensics, penetration testing, and as a system utility. A typical example is “Forensics Cookbook” (Mikhaylow, 2017). The following include passages on it, too, and some of these have specific citations in Draft:Reincubate:
-
- Investigating the Cyber Breach (Muniz, Lakhani, 2018)
- iOS Forensic Analysis: for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (Morrissey, Campbell, 2010)
- iOS Forensics Cookbook (Birani, Birani, 2016)
- iPhone and iOS Forensics (Hoog, Strzempka, 2011)
- Learning iOS Forensics (Epifani, Stirparo, 2015)
- Learning iOS Penetration Testing (Yermalkar 2016)
- Mastering Mobile Forensics (Tahiri, 2016)
- Mobile Forensic Investigations (Reiber, 2015)
- O’Reilly’s App Savvy (Yarmosh, 2010)
- Operating System Forensics (Messier, 2016)
- Practical Mobile Forensics (Mahalik, Tamma, Bommisetty, 2014)
- Take Control of Your iPhone (Landau, 2009)
- On the “scholarly article” criteria, there are several dozen papers with passages on the application and its use. Jonathan Zdziarski’s 2013 paper “iOS forensic investigative methods” has a chapter for it on page 110 (no deep-link I'm afraid). Similarly, 2012's “iPad 2 Logical Acquisition: Automated or Manual Examination?” (Ali, AlHosani, AlZarooni, Baggli) gives it a chapter (p. 119+) and makes reference to it throughout.
- I believe these sources satisfy WP:RS and WP:ORGCRIT. I hope this is helpful. Tgho (talk) 18:37, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. The dedication of paid editor tgho is admirable, as dedications go, but not sufficient to overcome the lack of verifiable independent notability. The sources put up in the effort to save the text are tangential to the subject, at best. E.g. the article in the Southwark News is about Aidan Fitzpatrick and not the product; if we want a bio on Aidan Fitzpatrick we already have a source. E.g. the article in the Sydney Morning Herald is a listing of apps that help the iPhone user, among which is this product. Same kind of listing (one among many) one encounters in specialist forensics texts such as the Forensics Cookbook. (Someone offered a London Gazette issue as proof of notability but their link contains no reference to the product; it lists the Queen's Awards and among those who won is Reincubate, with no mention of their product at all.)

- Author comment. I am a bit surprised tham my article has been considered for deletion because its not noteable. I hope it will not be deleted without any discussion, since i invested a lot of time for researching and writing. I have written it following the guidelines of other articles on sinilar subjaect, and i think everything was nicely citadet. I dare to note that it has more information it it than many other articles in wikipedia on a sinilar subject ... but of course there is always space for improvement. --Explorations In Dub (talk) 08:56, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- I understand that not everybody is familiar with independent labels, but in such cases any citation coming from third party sites will not be from mainstream sites. I have rewritten the article adding more citations from third party sites from noteable sources in reggae music like Juno, Roots Reggae Review, etc. (such sites are very trustworthy)
- I tried to write 4 things in the article: First a brief profile of the label, second the policy of how they choose the music, third the catalog of the label and fourth the feedback it has to the listeners through reviews/airplay/etc, all nicely citated from third party sites/media etc. .. each subject with citation from the research i've done in the internet.
- I hope with these changes the article can be saved from deletion. thnx -Explorations In Dub —Preceding undated comment added 16:21, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete: fails WP:ORGCRIT and WP:ORGDEPTH. @Explorations In Dub: the problem is that apart from the Cyprus Mail (which sounds like a promotional publicity piece anyway), none of your citations are from reliable or noteworthy sources. Reggaemusic.org.uk, Reggae Roots Review and The Cerebral Rift are blogs, and not acceptable as sources per WP:BLOGS (indeed, the last one appears to be crowdfunded). The Juno chart isn't a recognised chart per WP:SINGLEVENDOR. Tribal Realities magazine isn't a recognised source either, it appears to be mostly the work of one man and given away free. Most of the other sources just show that records from the label have had the occasional play on radio stations, which doesn't make them notable either. And none of the artists on the label are notable. Your article on Reggae Sunjam has the same serious problems regarding notability, with the same Cyprus Mail article, and an event listing, and that's it, which means it fails WP:EVENTCRIT. Richard3120 (talk) 14:25, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. Looks like you will delete the article anyway, so whatever i add or write will apparently have no result. I tell u again that an independent label is NOT a mainstream label and will NOT be in mainstream charts/sites/newspapers/etc (very rare)that does not mean though that the citation is not of quality. I just wonder why articles on same subject (indep. record labels) with less information and with zero citation, or citation of same "quality" as the ones i used are allowed to be on wikipedia? eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_Circuitry#cite_note-1 ... there are so many. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahtari Similar links i used in my article (Discogs, interview sites, sites that look like were made privately, etc) but still accepted. ... or this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirakel_Musik no citation and external links from discogs and archive.org .... Is this the logic you are using? Is this the way you are facing new editors/writers in wikipedia? because if u decide what to do u must decide the same for everybody and many other articles should also be removed ... and there are so many ;) -Explorations In Dub
- Comment. But you see, the Jahtari article has in-depth references from the leading national German newspaper, a German national broadcasting network, a syndicated British newspaper, and a British events magazine (although this is just an event listing, and the weakest reference of the lot). The Dubophonic article doesn't have any references from sources at this level of recognition, so you can't compare the two cases. But I agree with your other examples, and that they should probably be put up for deletion too... we're not picking on you, it's just that there are well over five million articles on the English Wikipedia, and a lot of the bad ones can go unnoticed for years. But all of them should pass the basic criteria for verifiability WP:V, and when an editor funds an article that doesn't, it gets nominated for deletion - we do have the same criteria for everybody. Richard3120 (talk) 12:33, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. I think it will be easier if instead of spending my hours writing articles only to be rejected at the end, to fish out all these thousands of articles for deletion ... easier, faster and with no stress. I hope u don't accuse me of vandalism though :) By the way regarding the Dubophonic article, it was in the list of the articles that people wanted something to be written on wikipedia => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/music Perhaps i am indeed adequate to write a "proper" article, but perhaps there is another one who would want to write about it. I would be also very curious to see how another person would deal with the subject. Explorations In Dub —Preceding undated comment added 07:46, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- Greetings, Explorations In Dub. Do not be discouraged if an article you have created, and one, moreover, on which you have worked hard, as you say, is being deleted. It happens all the time, due to the nature of Wikipedia. It has happened to me a few times, too, for what it's worth.

The result was keep. There seems to be a consensus the subject meets WP:GNG (which counters "unsourced" claim from the nominator with sources that exist per WP:NEXIST) and the Bearian's rationale is WP:NOTNOTABLE, which is not to be used here.

- These are indeed all passing mentions, save for the last one, which is from a 1939 book titled Naša Gospa od Zdravlja i njezina slava, by Ante Crnica . In it, there is a chapter dedicated to B. Pavlović ([35], pp. 215-220). It does mention his 1747 work, but does not assert its importance either. In particular, looking at this chapter, I cannot find anything of significance that would count towards WP:NAUTHOR. GregorB (talk) 17:33, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
Relisting comment: Relisting for a third time to allow for input regarding sources presented late in the discussion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 14:41, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- Weak keep This is a difficult subject to comment on. The article claims that the subject's published works were an important development in the Croatian language. The article about the Croatian language has a total of one sentence about the 18th century, saying "However, this first linguistic renaissance in Croatia was halted ..... in 1671. Subsequently, the Croatian elite in the 18th century gradually abandoned this combined Croatian standard." The next para in that article is about the 19th century. So whatever happened in the development of the Croatian language in the 18th century, English Wikipedia has no information about. Croatian Wikipedia has a longer section about that time period, which mentions a few authors but not Bernardin Pavlović.
- There are certainly sources with more information about him, but most only have snippet views available on Google Books. The journal Mogućnosti, Volume 44, Issues 1-9, p 10 (1997), has an article which includes these lines (visible in the Google Books search result, but not in the snippet view; translation by Google Translate): "On May 6, 1730, Bernardin Pavlovic reached the Duchab on May 6, 1730, asking the statesman to reach the church authorities and proclaimed him a legitimate and legitimate place of residence, but the subsequent events reduced things faster than he thought. God. 1731. proclaims plague ." A 1934 source, Danica, shows in the Google Book search results the lines "Bernardin Pavlovic, Elder Franciscan, Our Lady's image of this fence. Archbishop of the Priest came to the other side of the fence and at that place solemnly blessed the image of Our Lady by finding that he was exposed to worship in one beautiful place .." Again, the snippet view does not show that part of the page, and it's not at all clear what this is about, or how much there is about Bernardin Pavlovic, but, like the 1997 source, it does seem to be about something other than his publications.
- My conclusion from these very partial glimpses of sources is that, including the 1939 book linked above, I think enough probably does exist for him to meet WP:GNG. The sources which mention him date from at least the mid 1800s to the 2000s, so there is certainly sustained coverage. (Is there a National Dictionary of Biography for Croatia or any of its predecessor states? He seems the kind of person who might be included.) RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:16, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep There are sources on the person, although Google Books offer only snippets, they might be more than passing mentions - [36] (looks to be the start of a biography)[37] as well as others [38][39][40][41]. It's hard to tell from some of those that offered only snippets if more are written there, but cumulatively they do indicate that he is not a nobody and may qualify under WP:GNG.

Also, even if PORNBIO was the only issue here, it hasn't actually been explained how she fails it; instead, most of the delete !votes (not yours, Phil) are from the usual group of "delete" !voters in porn-related AfDs. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 19:40, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- Sources written by the subject are not considered to contribute towards notability for anyone else, so why should they be so considered for porn actors? The only other source that you linked is clearly a press release, so also not independent. And I don't see any "delete" opinions here based on WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT, which you linked, but based on notability guidelines. In fact you are the one arguing on the basis of of personal likes rather than independent reliable sources. The fact that many of the same editors make the same valid points in other deletion discussions doesn't make their statements here any less valid. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:04, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- Primary sources aren't prohibited (see WP:PRIMARY); if they were, many journalists probably wouldn't have articles (see many of the subjects under Category:MSNBC people). Anyway, as for the idea that I'm the one arguing the other point, well, you probably haven't taken part in many of the other porn-related AfDs over the years. Speaking of that, in these types of AfDs, people who commonly !vote "delete" (again, not you), argue that the article doesn't have any independent sourcing from the subject, but "independent" always seems to be confused to suggest that most of the sources should be independent of pornography (pornography is a category; the title of the article itself is the subject). Erpert blah, blah, blah... 01:14, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. None of the sources cited in the article are independent and reliable, and the sources offered above in support are obviously not either. The only one not written by the subject herself is clearly a press release. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:16, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. She meets WP:PORNBIO ("The person has won a well-known and significant industry award"). You need to check the WP:BEFORE. These people do not often screen well on quality RS for GNG for obvious reasons, hence WP:PORNBIO. Note that Spartz is an administrator but has put a whole list of PORNBIO's up for AfD quoting that they "don't meet GNG", which has attracted the group above who support their AfD and make no reference to PORNBIO (but quote GNG). We should be following WP:PAG. Britishfinance (talk) 02:16, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Which award(s) do you consider to pass WP:PORNBIO? The only ones listed in the article are in the "Unsung Siren" category, so, by its very title, for non-notable performers, and a group award which is specifically excluded by WP:PORNBIO. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:30, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:26, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment The "Unsung Siren" category is an XRCO Award, which is one of the two major awards explicitly listed under WP:PORNBIO, and which also being a solo award (you can check it here under XRCO Award#Unsung Siren), also meets the WP:PORNBIO requirement that "Awards in scene-related and ensemble categories are excluded from consideration". You may not like the subject (and clearly many above don't), but the WP rules are the rules. She passes WP:PORNBIO. Britishfinance (talk) 20:52, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- Are you reading the same WP:PORNBIO that I am? There's nothing there that says that every minor category of the XRCO awards leads to notability, but only that inclusion in the XRCO Hall of Fame does. This is nothing about whether I like the subject or not, but about applying Wikipedia guidelines and policies, including WP:BLP, which many editors seem to ignore when it comes to porn actors. Are they somehow subhuman? Phil Bridger (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment WP:PORNBIO highlights two of the awards that it considers signicfiant by listing their halls of fame - AVN and XRCO (I'm sure that the case for other porn awards such as the XBIZ Award etc. can also be made, but that is not needed here). Outside of clarifying group/shared awards, it does not add further qualification about types of individual AVN or XRCO awards. All of the individual XRCO Award#Unsung Siren award winners since 1993 to 2018 are listed and referenced on the WP XRCO Awards article. Note, it turns out that she also won another solo XRCO Award in 2018 as well, and I have updated her BLP for this. Britishfinance (talk) 21:58, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- Once again, being in a hall of fame is not the same as winning a minor award. The fact that Calvert was still unsung three years after first receiving an award for being unsung is that very unusual thing that we get at a deletion discussion, positive evidence of non-notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:07, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- It is about winning an AVN Award, or an XRCO Award. And she has two (in a solo category, which is the only category that WP:PORNBIO is specific about). You are trying to argue a case of non-notability from winning a notable award (as recorded and listed in the WP XRCO article since 1993). Britishfinance (talk) 22:25, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- About fifty years ago I won a very notable award, a Blue Peter badge, but that doesn't make me notable. The award that Calvert won is far from "a well-known and significant industry award" as required by WP:PORNBIO, being one of the many minor awards that any trade group in any industry gives. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:37, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- It would if the winners of Blue Peter Badges were discretely watched by tens of millions of people per day on BluePeter.com sites; and WP:BLUEPETERBIO clarified that because nobody wants to be associated with watching Blue Peter Badge winners (including Tier 1 RS), they should be recorded on WP. Britishfinance (talk) 11:04, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep as per Erpert - Given the notable awards won as well as the indepth sources above this is an easy keep, Meets PORNBIO & GNG. –Davey2010Talk 22:48, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - Most likely an attempt at promotion, and it's a messy attempt too because she operates under two names. Note that the name Petty Joy has been redirected to this article. ( [50] ) This article tries to promote her work as a DJ, in which she uses Petty Joy as a stage name. But the article is titled with the name Joana Plankl, which she has used as a nude model, and that line of work is not mentioned in the article. Under that name, she might have a small amount of notability for appearing in the German edition of Playboy, but if the article chooses to focus on her music work, that is even less notable.

Doomsdayer520 has this right, it's a promotional article for a sometime German Playmate of the Month and DJ who plays mainstream chart music at mostly private parties. I sometimes express frustration at AfDs for DJs, because I know the DJ in question is well known on the dance scene but there aren't any online sources... but that isn't the case here. I'm sure Ms. Plankl can DJ, but she sure doesn't get booked to play the cool clubs of Berlin and New York, and even the weak references in the article have mostly disappeared without an archive, leaving us with no decent reliable sources.

I'm concerned that this game doesn't meet GNG - there is some pretty standard coverage on mobile-gaming-specific sites, as you'd expect, but nothing to indicate any artistic merit or critical acclaim, or any form of real impact.

- Delete First of all, analyzing the references in the article:
- 1 While it is a "coverage" from a reliable secondary source of the game, it certainly is not a WP:SIGCOV since nothing in depth about this game is mentioned except the pricing (worthless encyclopedia wise) and difference from Doodle Army 1. But it's not a passing mention either, so it's kind of in between. Meh.
- 2 No idea what is this supposed to be since it brings me up to log-in.
- 3 Passing mention by name.
- 4 A fan website. Enough said about the reliability.
- 5 Firstpost here. Good enough source, not that much in-depth, but can be used to write something.
- 6 Appmodo is a blog as it says on the front page, making it not reliable.
- 7 An unreliable website citing summary of the game, making it WP:PRIMARY as well.
- 8 Not a WP:SIGCOV, even before we enter the talk whether it is reliable or not. "Best multiplayer games" title does not give me confidence about that.
- 9 Same as **4.
- 10 Unreliable source per WP:VG/RS.
In my WP:BEFORE search I found this on The Daily Star (Bangladesh) https://www.thedailystar.net/shout/app-review/doodle-army-2-mini-militia-1461607 which is not WP:SIGCOV (3 sentences, 1 of just reciting what the game is about, 1 that the player has a jetpack and 1 that it is fast paced (which is subjective)) before the "you will be terrible" part) as well and apart from that, all either unreliable sites or blogs. For now, unless someone else finds another I lean to delete based on failure of WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in independent reliable secondary sources. Gaming reliable websites largely ignored this game, and that is probably not just because. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:15, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

- Comment. This search finds a few reliable-looking sources confirming some basic facts. A merge with Asghar Khan might be better than one with Tehrik-e-Istiqlal, because this seems to have been a vehicle for his personal ambitions rather than a broad-based party. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
Merge/Redirect with Tehrik-e-Istiqlal. Not enough sources to confirm independent notability, seems more sensible to add it to the Tehrik-e-Istiqlal article, which this article claims to be a fore-runner of. 12 years on and the article still lacks a single reference.

The second source triggered my antivirus, so I think not reliable. The last source is a link to Petterson's site, so primary source, not reliable.

- Keep I think there is enough significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to meet WP:BASIC. I have found and added another source, a long article in The Weekend Finder. The CitiFM and EnewsGH articles also provide significant coverage, and as far as I can see, are independent and reliable. There is also shorter coverage from Ghana News Agency and the Herald Ghana. I agree that the AmeyawDebrah source is not reliable, and I don't think the CNBC Africa one is independent - it is sourced to Forbes, and the Forbes article does not have an author's name. I have also edited the article. If the article is kept, it should be moved to Elizabeth Akua-Nyarko Patterson, the correct spelling of her name - it currently has "Petterson", which would not help in finding sources. Some of the unreliable sources could probably be removed, but that is another job. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:15, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Vmavanti (talk) 17:42, 16 February 2019 (UTC)- I disagree. For sources in archive.org, that is just how it works - documents open in the middle, and you use the search function (just above the document, on the right) to search for the word(s). For Google Books sources, a link with the search expression could be used, but if not, the search window in the result brings up the relevant page. Offline and paywalled sources are acceptable per WP:SOURCEACCESS, and these are much more easily accessible than that (they WP:NEXIST). Anyone can easily find them (and could easily have found them in a WP:BEFORE search). RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:27, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- You are not supposed to link to a search. Readers should not have to do a search after being led to a page by a citation. The citation must lead directly to the information.

Vmavanti (talk) 17:49, 21 February 2019 (UTC)- 1. These are not my citations - I was explaining why the citations in the article before I added any lead to a search within the source. 2.

To see the kind of sourcing this would need, compare the articles on PyMC3 and PyTorch, which were nominated for deletion and survived. XOR'easter (talk) 20:46, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep There are multiple reasons for keeping this page as is: (1) the associated paper is more than just an arXiv pre-print; it is actually published at an official NeurIPS workshop (see accepted papers and associated DOI); NeurIPS is a well-established and highly influential conference in machine learning and artificial intelligence. (2) according to Google Scholar, there are already 2 other papers which cite the associated paper, meaning that it already has impact; the citation count is only going to increase. (3) the ensmallen library is used by mlpack, a well-established library of machine learning algorithms (use evidenced by source code on GitHub: FindEnsmallen.cmake, lmnn.hpp, etc). (4) the ensmallen library implements many optimization algorithms directly described on Wikipedia, such as the seminal Stochastic gradient descent and its offspring, meaning it has direct practical consequences Gtfjbl (talk) 16:00, 13 February 2019 (AEST)
- Two citations is pretty low. Once the paper gets many citations, if the paper gets many citations, an article would be in order. As for the other arguments, I don't think that notability should be inherited between the subjects described in points 3 and 4, I think it's entirely possible for major machine learning libraries to be bloated and conversely implementing stochastic gradient descent is not unique and I don't see why that would .immediately make something likely to have received coverage. I can't say I'm familiar with the NeurIPS conference, and it does get a fair amount of coverage in the press, but from working in an adjacent field my impression is that even the best conferences are still full of tons of papers many of which don't really go anywhere or influence much. signed, Rosguill talk 06:42, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- According to Google Scholar, the NeurIPS conference is ranked #1 in the Artificial Intelligence field, with a h5-index of 134 and h5-median of 221 (source). As such it would be safe to say it is very influential venue. One of the primary reasons for the existence of the ensmallen library is to concretely address the serious limitations of previous implementations of many optimization algorithms (including SGD and Quasi-Newton) such as brittleness, inflexibility, lack of integration capability, slow execution, etc. Since optimization algorithms are widely used in machine learning, having very robust (from multiple view points) and an unencumbered open source implementations of such algorithms has direct practical consequences for the wider application of machine learning in many products and industrial processes. Gtfjbl (talk) 17:20, 13 February 2019 (AEST)
- Being accepted by a selective conference is like getting published in a peer-reviewed journal: it's a start, but by itself, it doesn't automatically make the topic notable. We need indicators of impact and influence, like discussions of and citations to that work. The only GS citations to the paper are by its authors themselves. There's nothing wrong with that, but it is a signal that it's too soon to have an encyclopedia article about it. XOR'easter (talk) 15:56, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

- Draftify or userfy per above. I agree that this is WP:TOOSOON, but given that it was recently released, as well as being featured in NeurIPS, suggests that more references could emerge. --DannyS712 (talk) 20:49, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. ensmallen has actually been around for quite a while, just not as its current name. If you take a look at the paper it is the optimization framework from mlpack, which has been used in over 100 scientific publications and has well over 100 contributors on Github. So despite the fact that the NeurIPS workshop paper was published in only October, based on the git history the ensmallen codebase has existed since 2010, and the community is much larger than a single recent workshop paper would imply (see also that ensmallen itself has 60+ contributors already, a sign that this is not a small or very recent effort). So personally I don't think this is WP:TOOSOON and I think it would be useful and relevant to the machine learning community on Wikipedia to keep it here. --Nemarts (talk) 14:36, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. Again, sadly. There seems to be a consensus that there are two reliable sources/reviews in the article for the subject, but there was a WP:BARE concern raised, and there was no support of the "typically 7 to 10 for a song article" part of the nomination.

Two years ago, I initially submitted this page to AfD with the weak rationale of "Not notable", and a result of no consensus. I still believe this song is not notable due to the lack of available sources (typically 7 to 10 for a song article), the fact that the song did not make any notable performance or sales chart, and that it has not been nominated for or awarded a notable award, the latter 2 of which are requirements for WP:NSONG. Jalen D. Folf (talk) 20:15, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - Keep, there are two reviews and three other references. Gab4gab and I both voted to keep this the last time around, and the AFD for "Faces (Candyland song)" has not yet been posted on this page. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:26, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- It's linked in the nomination, but I've added the Oldafdlist template, if it helps. Bakazaka (talk) 21:45, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - At a minimum, the article should be merged into Candyland (musician). --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:34, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep- The song is the subject of multiple independent reliable sources with non-trivial coverage which Meets WP:NSONG. I'll point out that the notability criteria presented in the nomination is incorrect. There is no criteria requiring 7-10 sources. The three additional criteria (charting , receiving awards, releases by multiple artists) are not notability requirements. They simply suggest that if a song fits one or more of them then it is likely to have the necessary coverage even if it hasn't been located by editors. The article meets the notability guideline with multiple independent reliable sources and should be kept. I urge JalenFolf to withdraw the nomination because it is based on a misreading of the notability guidelines. Gab4gab (talk) 15:29, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

- Comment: @Jax 0677: @Gab4gab: I agree with you that a song article doesn't need seven to ten references, as Jalen has suggested. But Daily Beat and Goodmusicallday don't look like reliable sources to me, and I'm uncertain about Earmilk, which leaves a maximum of two reliable sources for the article (the iTunes link only proves the song exists and was released), so it's still borderline. Richard3120 (talk) 16:56, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- Based on the little info available on Daily Beat and Goodmusicallday I agree they don't appear reliable. Gab4gab (talk) 23:30, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of Native American superheroes. I am not opposed to a merge, but I am not sure how the information would be carried over from this article to the list, since the target list currently is just a collection of names without any real information on individual characters. Hopefully, it will be improved in the future, as it is a valuable and interest topic. Aoba47 (talk) 20:48, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

- Keep if you actually delve into the available sources, and search for material, you will find that he meets the WP:ARTIST "recognized by his peers" criteria easily. He has:
- done the calligraphic lettering on four stamps for the US postal service
- consulted for Maya Lin on Typography at the Vietnam war memorial
- had his own font released by Adobe ("Waters Titling")
- designed the typography for the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington Cemetery
- talked and lectured all over the world, indicating he is a recognized world authority on caligraphy and typography.
- He has also had decent coverage: when National Geographic does a profile, that is not minor. The depth is not what it could be, but the breadth is wide, which is why I found it easy to add ten sources to the article. With the above accomplishments, it's clear he is recognized by his peers as a serious dude.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:21, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
