- Keep. Not a great article, but Buffy is well-studied, and this is no exception. Some nice analysis in this peer-reviewed article and Sex and the Slayer, for example. There's plenty more out there, especially relating to Anya. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:10, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Not sure if this is in-depth about the demons, or just uses them in passing to discuss something else (i.e. an aspect of justice system in Buffyverse). Slayage ([1]) is peer reviewed but I doubt it is taken very seriously in the field (the about page doesn't suggest it is indexed anywhere, I'll ping User:Randykitty on his take on this, it would make for a fun DYK but GNG is an issue). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:06, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Neutral, just a response to the ping by Piotrus: The journal appears to be serious: the editors and board are all legit academics and the journal is indexed in the Modern Language Association Databaseand DOAJ, which confirms that this is not a predatory journal. So while it doesn't appear to meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG, it does seem like a reliable source to me (unless somebody digs up evidence to the contrary and note that this field of study is not directly my specialty). Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 14:44, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Minor plot-cruft that fails GNG.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:04, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Note I removed the prod because shortly after it was placed, a merge discussion was started and I added to the merge discussion. The nominator should have joined the merge discussion instead of starting this one. Aspects (talk) 23:10, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- I nominated the merge target as well, as I feel neither needs to be retained on Wikipedia. TTN (talk) 23:14, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Weak delete. The article found by JM is a good start, but it is overall a low quality resource (at best, the very minimum when it comes to academic sources), and also a single source (GNG requires multiple) and finally, I am not convinced it is in-depth coverage of this topic. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:06, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia isn't a hosting service. This product isn't notable and it only serves to mirror what's on phonearena, and it's best such thing remains on resources where it's a better fit. Wikipedia isn't a product catalog. Graywalls (talk) 11:24, 15 November 2019 (UTC) - just commenting to affirm I'm maintaining my position. A lot of added sources are things that are typical of review oriented websites that writes reviews on just about every consumer electronics out there and I still don't feel that this product is particularly notable.

- The tablet is actually one of the first 2 tablets that use Nvidia Tegra K1 Processor (besides the tablet from nVidia).
- It is also the first tablet from Xiaomi.
- Due to its good price-performance ratio, it has a large userbase (hint from xda device website views)
- Also it seems to be important part of Company History (now being "purged" from Official Sources)
- Above keep by 0xSkyy (talk) 03:13, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- I have also updated the article with more relevant information. To find more information about the device, it is advisable to limit (google) search to January 2013 to January 2015 range.
- Also, whereas MiPad 2,3,4 ... should (probably) not have separate Wikipedia pages, MiPad (original) should, as it is part of company history.
- Andy Dingley, actually, now it may seem indistinguishable, but at the time of its release, it was quite the Apple 2, it had Hardware Spec comparable to gaming console, with super low price. Care to comment.
- Also pinging CentreLeftRight and Fifthavenuebrands

- Comment WP:PRODUCTREV says, "other (e.g. new tech gadgets, travel blogs) are newer and more prone to manipulation by marketing and public relations personnel.". Practically every phone gets reviewed, so if product pages are written entirely on reviews, that means just about every cell phone would be on here and the problem I am seeing is Wikipedia acting practically as a mirror of phonearena. And eurogamers.net has a disclaimer on the bottom "Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.", so it could be seen that it's in their advantage to review favorably when possible. Could we consider it truly independent?

because in terms of notability, this MiPad
- Was the FIRST tablet to use Nvidia Tegra K1 processor,
- Was the FIRST tablet from Xiaomi in a line of tablets.
- Had highly competitive pricing (240USD)(read: extremely low price) for the hardware it used. Nexus 9 ($399) & Nvidia Shield Tablet($399) (both Tegra K1 devices) (both around 8 inch tablet)

- That's not how notability is defined here. See WP:PRODUCT and WP:GNG guidelines.
- 1 and 2) ok? For example, suppose a product was the first of the kind to have some arbitrary attribute. For example, offering tomato flavored ice cream. This simple fact wouldn't make it notable unless there's a lot of press coverage about it.

- Keep – (from DRV) The product meets WP:GNG and WP:NPRODUCT by virtue of these WP:THREE: PCMag, Time, and CNET, and there are others like Verge and Engadget. (The reviews appear to meet WP:PRODUCTREV.) Additionally, per NPRODUCT and WP:PAGEDECIDE, merging this product article with the article on the company would make the article on the company too large, and potentially create an WP:UNDUE problem. So, I think this product is best covered in a stand-alone article. Thanks to 0xSkyy for the WP:HEY. – Levivich 19:40, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep as per Levivich just above. Pretty clearly meets the GNG, which I think should be sufficient. Much improved since AfD nomination, added sources look good. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 02:36, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep (2 or again): Agree with above comments on notability satisfaction WP:GNG & on WP:NPRODUCT. Plus an optional 4th 😊 for WP:THREE : Reuters 0xSkyy (talk) 19:57, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Improvements in sourcing and content since the start of the AfD show this product to be covered in multiple RS and thus to be notable per WP:GNG. The article isn't perfect, but has WP:SURMOUNTABLE problems that can be fixed with editing. Hence, keep. --

Apparently a low-budget movie made in some guy's basement that never seems to have attracted any coverage in reliable sources of any note. Only one source currently in the article can really be considered a source. There's passing mention here, but I don't have really much else to offer. It claims to have a number of notable people as voice actors, but I've got no real source for any of it. Claims to have a 6.5m budget, but I've got no source for that either.

- Weak Keep There are plenty of YouTube reviews, including from the notable Channel Awesome and I found a review from a blog here: https://tedium.co/2017/12/25/elf-bowling-movie-review/ While these are technically not reliable, they do seem serious enough. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

The result was merge to Harley Quinn. This AfD could also be closed in other ways, but the point is that there is already a large overlap with Harley Quinn, and the consensus leaned towards that HQ's appearances don't necessitate a separate article. I'll leave it to editorial decisions what to merge and how it should be presented in the parent article. – sgeureka t•c 12:30, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Appearances of a comic book character in film, etc. This fancruft fails WP:LISTN. I get that this is a spin-off article of Harley Quinn#In other media, but it is not a worthwhile one, and would be removed as excessive detail if it were still in the source article. For very popular comics characters with dozens or hundreds of appearances, Wikipedia should not attempt to list all appearances. Doing so verges on WP:IINFO and is of no interest to any but the most devoted of fans. Fan wikis are better suited for such purposes. Our article about the character should instead provide a broad overview of appearances and highlight the most important appearances. Sandstein 17:24, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

- Merge with Harley Quinn. Instead of deleting this content, consider condensing it into a table that simply lists works (or groups of works) by publisher and medium. It's not necessary to list detailed plot and character information from each of Quinn's appearances in video games, movies, etc. (that information, if it differs from her general bio from Batman: The Animated Series, should be captured in the articles for those separate games, movies, etc. and can be just briefly referenced here). I appreciate what the author was trying to do here but I don't think that it is necessary to maintain this level of wp:fancruft. 107.77.202.56 (talk) 17:47, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete This is just pure fancruft and the amount of detail in this article is extremely trivial in nature, fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Most of these cameo appearances are not necessary to mention anywhere besides her Wikia page.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:58, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Obstensive KeepMerge per Masem - When characters are adapted into other media, they are usually reinterpreted, adapted, and portrayed by multiple different actors. And Sandstein, we do list every appearance except for irrelevant minor appearances (such as a cameo) and trivial non-appearances (such as a mentioning). If you can fit all of the character's relevant appearances into the main article at a reasonable length, I will change my vote to delete. If not, there is no basis for a deletion. "In other media" sections get spun off into separate articles when they reach a certain length.
- What I will say is that (in general) these deletion spammings (especially those of TTN) are getting out of hand, and are beginning to border on disruption. If certain users have an issue with how the WikiProject operates, they need to open a larger discussion instead of making an excessive amount of WP:POINTy deletion nominations. In fact, there actually have been such discussions where users have claimed that there is some secret ownership cabal at WP:COMICS, so the deletion spammings are really just a way to bypass the discussion without having to worry about changing consensus.

- Delete - Summary style is king. Rather than a proper fork article, this is pure, unchecked bloat. There should be sections that discuss the most important roles and the character's impact in those roles. I could certainly see comic characters possibly having scholarly articles built entirely on their depictions in various media through proper sourcing, but this is not currently in such a state.

Delete - More comic book fancruft. Cjhard (talk) 06:50, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Weak keep - After Gonnym's vote below and doing some major clean up of the article, I'm still a little in two minds about the article. I don't think Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Comics#Alternate_versions_of_characters applies as strongly as Gonnym does, as the guideline is about alternate versions of a character, whereas this refers to every appearance of the character in non-comic book media. However, I think the article types are similar enough that the guideline is helpful in this case. I think there's a likelihood that cleanup to the point required could lead to it needing to be merged into the main article, but that remains to be seen. Cjhard (talk) 12:06, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Merge into Harley Quinn per Masem. Cjhard (talk) 05:09, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - a valid list that has a set criteria for inclusion and has enough sources for a start level list article. This list could be merged to the parent article, but it would just pointlessly make that article larger and put undue weight to this section, over the general article. Also, to all the deletionists here, please read Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Comics#Alternate_versions_of_characters which is a guideline which this list follows. Seems like what we got here is a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS posse going for the backdoor way, instead of trying to get the larger community consensus to actually change the guideline. Just a note to any admin closing this. --Gonnym (talk) 09:47, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- That's clearly in reference to a full character offshoot that meets the proper standards of a Wikipedia article, not an unending list of plot summaries. There's even a sentence that seems against this kind of thing: "Such appearance lists or indexes fall under Wikipedia's concept of a directory or an indiscriminate collection of information." While that is directly talking about an extensive comic publication history, these other media appearances are no different. TTN (talk) 11:59, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

- Merge into Harley Quinn. I feel 50% of this list is already documented in that article, and it is a matter of just organizing the rest for more minor/one-off appearances (which must be sourced for this types of appearances, where it is not obvious to a regular viewer/reader/player). --Masem (t) 02:37, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

- If all of the relevant appearances (excluding trivial non-appearances and non-notable cameos) can be fit into the main article, I don't see any issue with a merge. DarkKnight2149 07:05, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

You're saying the same that article is based on promotional and i'm asking why ? i am getting references from Google and the artist is notable as i have seen him in newspaper too , few indians notable newspaper has mentioned him. i will add and also note i don't know the artist neither i am taking money from anyone. i am occasionally write on Pakistani celebrities as well as indian.

- What possible role does this fulfill? It's not a standard character list, and there is no editorial need for an expanded character list for such trivial characters. Even if you reduced it to actual characters, the film/book articles handle all character plot summary. Nobody is going to end up here outside of links from some redirected articles that should either be retargeted to their film/book of origin or outright deleted.

The Bond "universe" has gone on for so long that many younger scholars who need thus information in one place can only find it here, with us. Over 10,000 people viewed this page in the past 30 days.

- How many people need to know about "Thug with Yo Yo?" Any actual core character is covered on the films' cast lists, so it'd be best to let people interested go to a fan wiki where they can see detailed information about these characters. Though I'm sure even the Fandom threshold of inclusion would discount half this list. Even if revamped into a more formal character list, we'd need to thoroughly gut half the entire list and duplicate information present in each film, which would fail WP:PLOT. TTN (talk) 15:54, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Keep as there's really no non-idiotic reason not to. The list has a clear focus, concerns characters in a long-running book, film, and video game franchise, and its contents are easily verifiable in published sources. Surely what is worthy of published print encyclopedias is worthy of inclusion on the ultimate online encyclopedia by any reasonable stretch of the imagination. Seriously, what is the pressing need to remove this content that has been worked on since 2006 and to instead keep viewable for public consumption this discussion? Yeah, I know someone will link to "it's useful" or "its harmless" or whatever, but those are actually valid arguments in this case, because what we have here is something that a handful of accounts don't like and so would rather we have a discussion about the article for anyone to read than an actual article that a half dozen odd people think is not interesting for whatever anti-logical "reason." --199.123.13.2 (talk) 22:07, 11 December 2019 (UTC)blocked sock- Delete: an unsourced list of fancruft which largely duplicates material from articles about the movies.--Jack Upland (talk) 22:58, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep if this was just a list of the film henchman then it duplicates material and wouldn't be needed but it also includes characters from the books including by other Bond authors such as Amiss and Gardener and Bond videogames so I do believe it is useful to have this information in one place and considering there are 10,000 views a month the reason for deleting is not strong enough. This is essentially a split from The James Bond franchise article (or however its titled) so it does not have to be independently notable as the parent topic is very notable, and all the info is easily checked from the primary sources, so keeping the characters descriptions short also helps verifiability, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:46, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per the above and Atlantic306 on if this being just a list of minor characters, it's not needed. Per Atlantic306, though, if this list has useful information, one alternative might be to Draftify this list to excerpt and selectively merge out the useful information into related articles.

- @Dmehus: Now you're giving me a reputation to uphold!
If you ask me, the delete side is right to point out that a lot of the list is trivial ("Thug with Yo-Yo" now personally being my favorite Bond villain- 100% deserves a backstory lol). However, Draftify does sound particularly useful in this situation. My suggestion would be to cut the list down to only henchmen played by notable actors or which have a stand-alone article (like Vesper Lynd).

That alone justifies creating such page here. My very best wishes (talk) 15:54, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

- Sure. Checking Google Scholar [6] shows a number of additional academicsources, such as
- this ("Within the framework of conservative terrorism lie the actions of colonial states (colonial terrorism) to maintain their domination"),
- this ("There might also be an increase in what Drake (2007) called 'conservative terrorism.' This term arose in a debate related to loyalist terrorism in Northern Ireland."),
- this ("Conservative terrorism can be considered as terrorism carried out in order to defend the existing social, economic or political order or to gain a reversion of an earlier arrangement."), and so on.

- But none of that goes beyond a definition.

- There might also be an increase in what Drake (2007) called ‘conservative terrorism.’ This term arose in a debate related to loyalist terrorism in Northern Ireland. Drake (2007) argued that ‘pro-state’ terrorism, whereby terrorists carry out attacks in order to eliminate threats, which they believe should have been eliminated by the state's security forces, is more properly seen in the wider context of conservative terrorism. Some signs of it may already be on the horizon since the executive vice president and CEO of the USA National Rifle Association has recently stated that academic and media elites are “America's greatest domestic threats.”
- ...
- It is conceivable that conservative terrorism along the lines of Drake's (2007) writings may increase as a reaction to what may be seen as “over-the-top” political correctness and tolerance of views seen as contrary to those of the “ordinary people”. In other words, political correctness may be interpreted as the implementation of morally rotten policies in our social lives. As a consequence, social institutions - including universities, which are perceived to promote or tolerate such “dissenting views” - might become targets of terrorist attacks.
- This is significant discussion. And the Scholar shows a lot more similar sources. My very best wishes (talk) 18:13, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Also note that none of the sources tells this is a variety of Right-wing terrorism. Therefore, the suggestion to merge (or an argument about content fork) would be not justified here. My very best wishes (talk) 18:19, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Conservative terrorism is a concept developed by CJM Drake in his 1996 essay "The phenomenon of conservative terrorism." The concept is briefly mentioned in The Oxford Handbook of Terrorism,[8] The Northern Ireland loyalists Drake mentioned are normally described as ethnic nationalist terrorists. That is they are motivated by supporting their ethnic community rather than the status quo, although the status quo supported their ethnic privilege. There are insufficient secondary sources for an article. TFD (talk) 13:34, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. The term "conservative terrorism" contains the same level of political name-calling as does a term such as "liberal terrorism." By definition (one could look up all the relevant Wikipedia entries), liberals are not extreme left wingers, while conservatives are not extreme right wingers. Terrorism is an extreme practice and a practice of extremist ideologies. Non-extremists do not engage in political terrorism as that would make them extremists. Q.E.D.
- The term "conservative terrorism" can be and has been used in the sense of "terrorism by people who aim to protect the status quo" but for each context there is a diferent, specific notation, e.g. in Northern Ireland those who engage in terrorism in order to protect the status quo are denoted as loyalist terrorists (Ulster Volunteer Force, etc). It should be evident, and to your humble, non-conservative servant it is, that having an article on "conservative terrorism" amounts to violating, for starters, WP:NPOV for politicking and WP:PEACOCK for loaded language. Everything worth keeping in the contested text should find a place in the respective articles about the variants of right-wing terorrism. -The Gnome (talk) 11:18, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- The Gnome Yeah... So the is opposite of conservative terrorism is progressive terrorism not “liberal terrorism.” Nor is progressive terrorist a synonym for “extreme left wingers,” groups such as Al-Quida are progressive but certainly not liberal or leftist.

A quote from Claessen is a major part of the introduction, but it has been taken way out of context; he described the ETA and IRA as "conservative nationalist movements" as opposed to "extreme leftist organizations like the German RAF... or Italian Red Brigades". Can't imagine anything further from Drake's definition of "state-loyal terrorism".

On the other hand, there already is List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters and List of minor Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters, which can also serve as merge targets. – sgeureka t•c 12:15, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Keep. For my last edit of the year, I will note that this topic is the subject of published print encyclopedias and is surely worthwhile for inclusion here. There is no legitimate benefit to this site to delete this content and keep this discussion. What actual purpose does that serve? The contents of this article are from a major TV and comic book franchise beloved by millions. It brings viewers to this site (possible donors...) as well. It can be sourced through reliable published sources, including secondary sources. Okay, so to some who are not fans or are ignorant of it, it may seem trivial, but so what? Keeping this improvable content is to the benefit of at least some sizable segment of this site's readership. Deleting it doesn't do any good for anyone. So, instead of having the article, we'd what rather have a bunch of discussions of a handful of editors debating about it over a week? This is just baffling and bizarre. As for the nomination of "it is not needed for a general encyclopedia", well what is "needed"? Wikipedia is not limited in the way that traditional print encyclopedias were. Are you also going to clear out everything from here, for example? I suspect this fictional stuff means a lot more to a lot more people than every asteroid or minor planet out there. For the record, neither should be deleted because isn't the point of this project to collect all the information scattered on earth and make it accessible to the masses, whether we as individuals personally are invested in any individual content or not? I hope the nominator either finds a useful hobby or at least starts creating and adding to articles himself, because no reasonable person can take an honest look at his edit history and see anything other than boilerplate prods and afds without being suspicious that the nominator is either a bot or has some crusade going here. It is not about assuming good faith here, either, it is apparent that the nominator's account single-purpose has always been rapid fire indiscriminate nominations of articles for deletion with no sign of actually wanting to build anything. This ant-fiction crusade that has been going for over a decade borders on unhealthy and I actually wish that the nominator can find something worthwhile and joyous to do with his life. With that, I genuinely wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Good bye for this year, though. --199.123.13.2 (talk) 22:29, 11 December 2019 (UTC)blocked sock

I would like to highlight the significance that this building has locally. The building is one of just a small number in the Knighton area of Leicester which still operates as a community venue. It is a significant parish within the Diocese of Nottingham and is considerable in both size and wealth, as well as being a significant leading church within the deanery. The west tower is considered a local landmark due to its unique broad character. The 'Taking Stock' project set up by the Conference of Bishops in England and Wales also notes its architectural significance - it is one of a limited number of churches built in a stripped basilican style during the 1950s. The mosaics on the floor and a number of artistic pieces are also of note, and these include distinctive pieces above the altar, statues of the patronal saint and the Virgin Mary as well as a number of mosaics on the sanctuary floor.SJM2106 (User talk:SJM2106) 11:07, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

It is a preach that depends directly or indirectly on Bahrey's book "The history of Galla (Oromo" as the article itself claim. Though several authorities, Abyssinians and Oromo oral history indicated that the Oromo were in fact in the North-eastern part of the continent even before the arrival of the Habasha, the book continued to be used to lay claim Oromo migrated to Abyssinia(Ethiopia).Read the story by non oromo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dotohelp (talk • contribs) 14:02, November 7, 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose deletion: The article is not just based on Bahrey, but on at least four reputable secondary sources mentioned in the article. They make use of Bahrey's book, being the only contemporary source of the subject matter, but they treat it in an indisputably scholarly way. Therefore the article is not propagating a hoax, but a subject matter that is seriously discussed in the literature on Ethiopian history. By all means the article can use improvement, but a deletion is not justified. Landroving Linguist (talk) 22:22, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Landroving Linguist: Word by word what article say is "a 16th-century an ethnic Gamo monk named Bahrey is the foremost source on the migrations". Glad you mentioned the other sources also use his book. The book which starts by saying "I have begun to write the history of the Oromo in order to make known the number of their tribes, their readiness to kill people, and the brutality of their manners.", questioning his point of view. Unlike you said it cannot be improved for several reasons.
- There are no many source especially which did not depend on the book.
- Oromia Culture and Tourism Bureau published the "Oromo history before 16th century" book to stop the "hoax".
- No one believe this due to its contradictory to the oral history.
- It was mentioned in Oromo people. So it did not need to be merged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dotohelp (talk • contribs) 07:32, November 8, 2019 (UTC)

- Comment - I am not convinced yet about the notability of this article. If this migration was notable enough like the Bantu expansion, I would have expected several sources disccussing it. Why are there only 3 sources one of which questionable? Most of the content in this article relies on Pankhurst, and as we all know, a single source does not help with notability. I will vote keep if there are more RS especially for the size of this article. Senegambianamestudy (talk)
- Keep. The original homeland of the Oromo is a matter of dispute, but the migrations of the 16th century are not. See Mohammed Hassen The Oromo and the Christian Kingdom of Ethiopia: 1300–1700. He avoids the word "migration", preferring "movement". Same thing. Srnec (talk) 01:57, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Srnec: Oromo movement is not the dispute as Adal Sultanate and Christian Kingdom fight but the migration is. According to Mohammed Hassen, Oromo moved to south(Hadiya, dawaro ... are south relative to mada walabu) not from south. The migration we are talking is the claim Oromo migrated from southern Ethiopia Borana and Guji zones into more northerly regions of Ethiopia, which is with less and conflicting evidence. As Somali account show, Oromo moved to somalia from the northern areas of Hargeisa to its southern portions such as Lower Juba in 16th century.The proceedings of the First International Congress of Somali Studies The Guji tradition also claims that the Guji were forced to move southward to the present day because of the attack by the Christian army.

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:NFOOTY, and WP:ENT: of the sources currently in the article, only #1 constitutes significant coverage. #2 is a database entry and #3, 4, and 5 are award rosters. (I recently removed an additional ref which did not mention Mr. Mountain at all). Mr. Mountain's industry awards don't count towards anything now that PORNBIO has been deprecated. Under NFOOTY, youth footballers aren't automatically presumed notable. (Coincidentally, another non-notable youth footballer who played in 2018-2019 shares the same name.)

- No, I would not. Sorry. And I don't agree with your last point either. She's still far better known for GoT than for anything else. But we're not talking about Rose Leslie here in any case. If you're trying to suggest that she only got top billing because she was already well-known, I would point out that Max von Sydow, a big-name international film star, was in it and did not get top billing! As were other well-known actors like Donald Sumpter, Peter Vaughan and Julian Glover, all of whom had substantial roles. That doesn't wash at all. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
And I don't agree with your last point either. She's still far better known for GoT than for anything else.
That's not what I said. I said she was better-known before getting on GoT than most of the other GoT actors were before getting on the show. She was on Downton Abbey a full year (or at least a TV season) before GoT started, and was not cast in GoT until a full year after that. I agree with you that she is now better known for GoT, but unlike, say, Kit Harrington, Emilia Clarke, and even Peter Dinklage (all of whom, I would argue, are still also best-known for GoT), she actually had well-known television roles before GoT. (And no, the existence of Sean Bean, Lena Headey and Charles Dance does not disprove my point, any more than Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing having been in Star Wars meant that film's cast wasn't filled primarily with unknowns.) Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:51, 17 December 2019 (UTC)- And I still disagree with you. Despite being a big fan of Downton, I don't remember her from that at all and didn't when she arrived in GoT. Peter Dinklage was also a very well-known actor before he was on GoT. I notice you don't address my other point that much bigger stars did not receive top billing. Even Charles Dance didn't until the second season he was in. Neither did Jerome Flynn, already exceptionally well-known in the UK for Soldier, Soldier and his musical career. Nor Jonathan Pryce, an internationally-known star of films and musicals. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:37, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep The article needs to be improved and it doesn't include enough reliable sources at the moment, but a very quick search finds that there are more than enough out there to show that this subject passes WP:N and WP:GNG. — Hunter Kahn 03:27, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Hunter Kahn: Could you give some examples of at least the kind of content found in those sources that could be included in our article? The existence of a large number of reliable secondary sources have summarized the plot of each episode of this show and the roles of various characters therein is not in dispute. Moreover, any discussion of Leslie's performance of the character and the reception thereof more properly belongs in our article on her, per previous discussions with the article's creator here and here. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 06:06, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Sure, here are a couple examples of notable sources that discuss the character outside the context of simply plot summary: [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]. This is not based on an in-depth search for sources, incidentally, but rather a quick cursory glance at the top Google News search results; deeper dives in books and news articles, databases like NewsBank or Lexis Nexis, and material like GoT DVD commentary tracks would produce much more. That being said, the small sampling includes content that could be used for such sections as characterization, character conception/creation, portrayal, cultural impact, critical reception, etc. (Incidentally, it's not correct to say information about the actor's performance should be limited solely to that actor's page; it's very common practice for information about a character's portrayal to be included in an article about a fictional character, and indeed it would be a glaring omission if it were not included. Look at any number of quality content for articles in this area and you'll see it included.) — Hunter Kahn 15:21, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- This is indisputably more about the actor than the character; what it says about the character can be summed up in a single sentence, hence not enough to hang a standalone article on.
- This is an unreliable source. The paragraph beginning "thankfully" is filled with speculation based on the books (from which the show had already diverged significantly, and Stahler had no reason to believe this trend was going to be reversed), which all turned out to be spectacularly wrong.
- This and this are again more about the actor (and to a lesser extent the episode The Watchers on the Wall) than the character, about whom they say almost nothing.
- This I will admit is largely about the character, but it doesn't say much beyond WP:SPECULATION. The sentence
Leslie said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that she thought that in the episode "Mhysa", Ygritte was not intent on killing Jon or stopping him, but rather "to hurt him".
could easily be incorporated into List of Game of Thrones characters, but it certainly isn't enough to hang a standalone article on. - This is shameless clickbait based on a redditor's tinfoil fan theory. I can only assume you have not actually read it, because it literally makes no sense.
- This ... have you even read it? It's clearly about the actor, not the character. The fact that reliable sources (?) are now verifying some dubious BLP content that this article's creator had previously edit-warred into a separate article does not make this topic notable, any more than it retroactively exonerates said creator's behaviour.
- This is speculation on what a character who died in season 4 would think of a character who until the end of season 6 was on the other side of the world. It is essentially a stretching out to article length of this short paragraph; I can only guess MentalFloss was desperate for clicks in the leadup to the season 8 premier.
- Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:21, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Needless to say, I don't agree with all of your points above, and in some cases I think you are overemphasizing and magnifying perceived issues with the sources while ignoring other aspects of the articles that would be useful in expanding the page. (Your continued insistance that all aspects of the actor's performance of the character are only relevant to the article of the actor, and not the character, is particularly misguided.) By regardless, I have no interest in going through a point-by-point discussion with you about individual sources; that it not the purpose of an AFD discussion. My only point was that a very brief cursory search for sources turned up several, and that there are many others, all of which point to the notability of this subject. — Hunter Kahn 03:52, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
Your continued insistance that all aspects of the actor's performance of the character are only relevant to the article of the actor, and not the character, is particularly misguided.
If you could either (a) point to where I "insisted continuously" on that or (b) retract your groundless allegation, that would be helpful. What I said was that such sources are not useful for demonstrating notability of the character. If Ygritte was like, say, Elsa (Frozen) and had been subject to a large volume of easily verifiable critical analysis, then we could also include Leslie's commentary on the character in the article on the character, as the Elsa article quotes Adele Dazeem, but lacking enough material to build a proper article on the character out of material that would be more fitting to such an article than any other one article, there's no reason that that content shouldn't be included in the article on Leslie.- And again, this article's existence has been the subject of controversy ever since AffeL violated existing consensus by un-redirecting it almost four years ago, and in that time no one has actually managed to introduce non-ALLPLOT to the article; I highly doubt that if this AFD is closed as either "keep" or "no consensus; default to keep" you or any of the other keep !voters will bother to put your money where your mouth is and ameliorate that situation. You are happy to say that you have sources that provide us with verifiable, encyclopedic information, but none of you are apparently willing to show that such an article can be built.

The result was redirect to List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters#Hodor. This goes in line with the reasoning that, apart from one sentence at the end, the article is only a plot summary. For a stand-alone article, more is needed. Tone 10:41, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

I know Game of Thrones is all the rage nowadays, but what makes this minor character notable (WP:GNG, WP:NFICTION, etc.)? The real world analysis of this character is limited to the fact that the actor playing it has "developed 70 ways of saying his name". Which is amusing but really, this one sentence of analysis is hardly sufficient to warrant a stand alone article. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:16, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters#Hodor. IMHO, standalone articles for fictional characters should be limited to major characters with a lot of out-of-universe coverage in reliable sources (consider Darth Vader as a good example). Articles about fictional characters that are primarily plot summaries belong on Wikia, not Wikipedia. 107.77.202.56 (talk) 17:03, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I know that disruptive deletionism is all the rage but what makes this article justify yet another nomination when the topic so clearly passes WP:GNG. It takes all of 10 seconds to find a substantial source which is specifically about the topic – The Ethics of Hodor: Disability in Game of Thrones – and there seem to be plenty more which explore this aspect – Cripples, bastards and broken things: Disability in Game of Thrones; Fantastic Medievalistic Bodies:(Re) presenting Disability in Game of Thrones. So, WP:BEFORE clearly has not been followed nor are our policies addressed: WP:ATD; WP:BITE; WP:NOTPAPER; WP:PRESERVE. On a personal note, I was recently tempted to buy a door wedge labelled "Hodor" so next time, I'm definitely going for it. And now let's leave you with an amusing parody of our bureaucratic discussions here: A Novel Approach.... Andrew🐉(talk) 17:08, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Andrew Davidson: Would you mind explaining why you put the titles of the above-cited papers/chapters in italics? It looks very much like you either (a) did a Google Scholar search for
"Hodor" "Game of Thrones"
and copy-pasted the titles without confirming what type of sources they are (let alone reading them to determine whether they provide significant coverage) or (b) found the sources by whatever means and made the decision to bring them to this AFD and misrepresent them as book-length works discussing the character. "Cripples, bastards and broken things: Disability in Game of Thrones" for example is a very short article that name-drops Hodor all of two times[21], a fact not disclosed by you either deliberately or through careless failure to actually read the sources you cite in AFDs; "The Ethics of Hodor: Disability in Game of Thrones" similarly has its name cited in italics as though to imply it is a full-length scholarly book about the character, but it is a short interview that uses the name "Hodor" in its title as a segway to discuss disability in the show (and in fantasy fiction) in general[22] (it also somewhat carelessly conflates book and show, but there's no reason to go into that). It does make the claim that in 2014 a "war" took place between medical bloggers regarding what kind of disability Hodor had, but the fact that some medical professionals with an online presence also watch and care about the show enough to blog about it really doesn't make this one fictional character worthy of an entry in our encyclopedia -- if it's the only piece of real-world information that can be said about him, then it merits a sentence or two in a list entry. - Additionally, WP:BITE is a complete non-sequitur (the present article's creator has been editing for three years and has made more than 32,000 edits) and citing WP:BEFORE as you do here is an off-topic personal attack against the nominator. I have had my own beef with Piotrus in the past, but in this case he would have been well within his rights (with both WP:ONUS -- a policy -- and WP:BRD -- a widely-observed practice with the effective power of a policy -- on his side) to simply redirect the page without discussion or any search for sources that might theoretically allow the building of an article; taking the page to AFD to get community input rather than acting unilaterally was a polite, cautious, and entirely appropriate move, and attempting to prevent editors from doing so and from engaging in good-faith, civil discussion is extremely disruptive to the project.
- Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:20, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- The great thing about Hodor is that he doesn't make long speeches. Let's try to keep this brief.
- The use of Google for AfD is not just accepted; it is recommended. Each AfD discussion has Google search links in its header and we are expected to use them, starting with the nominator per WP:BEFORE, "The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search...". It doesn't appear that the nominator has done this.
- When I go back and make such a search again, the top of the list is The Ethics of Hodor. This appeared in The Atlantic, which is a respectable magazine. The topic is clearly about the subject because his name appears in the title and his picture leads the article. It reports a variety of facts about the character such as the name Wylis; the debate about whether his condition was aphasia or not; and more. There's an extensive discussion about this with a professor of English – a respectable scholar. So, it's abundantly clear that there are good, detailed sources about the character and so the subject is notable per WP:NEXIST.
- WP:BITE may be an issue here. Note that the creator of the article hasn't edited since notice of the nomination was posted on their talk page. Perhaps they are busy or perhaps they are shocked by the action? And what about the readers? This and many other similar pages get a substantial readership. It's not a good idea to have such deletion notices underneath the appeals for funding which appear at this time. WP:BITE says emphatically that "nothing scares potentially valuable contributors away faster than hostility. ... Even the most experienced editors may need a gentle reminder...".
- In conclusion, the nomination has no merit, its claims are false, nobody is !voting delete and so we're in the speedy keep / snow zone. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 18:10, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- So, you're just going to ignore the substance of what I said and attack a strawman? That's not helpful.
- Again, please answer the question. You italicized the title of a magazine article (indeed you have now done it twice) in a manner that implied it was a book-length work with "Hodor" in the title.
- If they are shocked by the action, then they really have no place editing a collaborative encyclopedia. They went out of their way to violate a standing consensus that Hodor and other minor ASOIAF characters do not get standalone articles, and now they are "shocked" that a community discussion is being held to address how to deal with their violation of prior consensus? Again, apologies to TOO if this is not the case and thoughts/actions that are not their own are being applied to them by Andrew Davidson. (BTW, that Atlantic interview's thesis, in case you haven't read it, could be summed up in a paragraph, if not a single sentence, in List of Game of Thrones characters, because it is not actually about Hodor but about how the show handles characters with disabilities and the way they interact with each other. Hodor's name appears 36 times on the page, but 10 of them are contained in a single short paragraph of 121 words. It also probably would have had significantly less relative emphasis on this minor character if it weren't for the fact that the character had been killed off five days earlier. If you or any other editor wants to create a Themes of Game of Thrones or Disability in Game of Thrones article using these sources, fire ahead, but hanging an article on a loosely-related topic on such sources is not a good idea.)
- In conclusion, you appear to be uninterested in engaging in civil discussion or in actually answering the questions that are posed to you, so I would ask the closer to dismiss your strawman ad-hominem arguments for what they are.

Josh Milburn (talk) 12:10, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect per WP:ALLPLOT. To give a little background, there is a longstanding implied consensus among ASOIAF editors that these minor characters (and even most major ones) should not have their own articles, and the status quo was disrupted in 2017 by the sockpuppeteer AffeL (talk · contribs); the issue was not resolved appropriately (AffeL was blocked around the time season 7 ended, and little was done to follow up on undoing his disruption), and so now the redirects should probably all be restored and new articles should require consensus to be created. I note that a number of the keep !voters insist that the topic is "notable" as it has been mentioned in sources (I'm not sure I would call it "coverage" per my response to Andrew above). Game of Thrones is a popular show -- that's to be expected of even characters about whom nothing encyclopedic can be written. If secondary sources can't be used to create a decent article that isn't ALLPLOT, those secondary sources don't provide the kind of in-depth coverage needed to meet GNG. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 23:47, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

- The nomination proposes that we delete the article and doesn't say anything about redirection. WP:BEFORE states "Prior to nominating article(s) for deletion, please be sure to:..." It then lists many actions but they don't seem to have been done. And because Twinkle is used to crank out numerous nominations, the process is being flooded. And deletion can certainly be the result as we see many other pages being deleted right now despite our clear policies of WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. It's sad and silly to replace well-read pages like the one in question with pages like this discussion which will just stand as a monument to Wikipedia's waste of everyone's time.

- You were in the very small minority of editors in this discussion who thought AFD was not for redirects. There was clear consensus that you are wrong on this point. Because you were unable to change the policy to reflect your personal opinion, you are now trying to force that opinion on individual AFDs, but it isn't going to work. The existence of dozens of possible redirect targets means it goes without saying that the nominator doesn't think the page needs to be deleted with no redirect left in its place; he would be effectively arguing for both [27] and the Hodor paragraph of [28] to be removed, so the fact that he didn't explicitly say "this nomination is intended to discuss redirecting the page, not deleting it" needs to be weighed against the fact that he also didn't say anything about removing the discussion of Hodor from those two lists, something you clearly didn't do.

You wasted a half-hour of my life on the Ygritte AFD, and now you are insisting that it is "uncivil" for me to tell you I don't appreciate your trying to do the same thing to me here?

- Weak (TNT) delete or redirect per J Milburn. Assuming good faith, I'm going to guess J Milburn has actually read at least one of the sources cited above and believes, in good faith, that the topic is notable enough that a proper encyclopedia article could be built around it. I respect his opinion and believe that if he thinks he or another good Wikipedian could build an article about it then he is probably right, but the present article is WP:INUNIVERSE WP:ALLPLOT. If Milburn or any other can improve it to the point of being a worthwhile encyclopedia article in the short-term, then I would support keeping it per WP:HEY.

Keep A quick search of Newspapers.com shows several articles about this character, including this from the Edmonton Journal in 2012 [42] and the Boston Globe the same year [43]; this from the Los Angeles Times in 2013 [44]; this from the Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2014 [45]; this from 2017 [46], in a newspaper from Virginia, sourced from Variety - and no doubt there's more, but that is certainly enough to meet WP:GNG. I will try to add these to the article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:10, 16 December 2019 (UTC)- Delete - While the character is discussed, it is in reference to the show. There is no real world notability established. Onel5969 TT me 14:35, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Onel5969, do you mean discussed in the sources in the article, or in the newspaper articles I linked to? Also, could you point me to the requirement in notability guidelines to establish "real world notability" of fictional characters? Is that in addition to meeting WP:GNG? RebeccaGreen (talk) 02:32, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry it took so long to get back to you, RebeccaGreen. There is no hard and fast rule regarding "real world notability", but when all the discussion about a character is "in-universe", other guidelines, such as WP:NOTPLOT apply. WP:GNG is a guideline, not a policy, although it's a very powerful guideline (imho). I like to think of WP as an encyclopedia, and tend to look at articles on fictional subjects in that light: is this an article or is this a piece of fan fluff. If there is no real world notability then my feeling is that it is fancruft. Onel5969 TT me 15:01, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

- Comment I must admit I am disappointed that it seems that no editors have engaged with the sources I referred to. Perhaps no one who has !voted since has access to them, and I know I should WP:AGF, but it does seem as if the responses are to the existing article, rather than to the secondary sources which WP:NEXIST. I do agree that, as written, the current article is totally in-universe. The secondary sources I found from 2012, when the series was about to start, discuss the series creator's decisions in choosing to start a new, spin-off series, rather than have this character be promoted within the old series; the difference between the lead characters in the two series; that the old series was regarded by fans as a one-woman show whereas, before it launched, the creator saw the new series as more of a group view of the justice system with a captain who insists on her detectives following the rules, unlike in the old series, and so on. One of the 2012 articles makes the point that the new captain is good at making deals with suspects, avoiding the cost of trials. This article goes into quite a bit of details about her making deals, but doesn't mention critics' perception that this was to save money. As I said above, in my opinion, there is enough secondary coverage of this character (from subsequent years too) for her to meet WP:GNG, but if no one else agrees, I don't want to waste time editing a fictional character's article when there are so many articles about real people that need improving. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:20, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:SPINOUT have existed for way longer than 2012. Per WP:WAF and MOS:TV, the logical order for article creation on TV characters is or should be: (1) cover the characters in the show's main article, and if that gets too large, (2) create a list of characters, and if that gets too large, (3) create a stand-alone article for specific characters. Findings sources at AfD is all nice (really!), but it doesn't fix the article. In its current state, nothing would be lost to wikipedia if this article was deleted, because plot is unimportant in itself; it's only there to give context for the present conception/design/reception real-world info (of which there is 0% in this article). – sgeureka t•c 13:52, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- I feel like I am commenting at cross purposes to everyone else here, and we are completely misunderstanding each other. I am completely bamboozled by the comment that "WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:SPINOUT have existed for way longer than 2012." - what does that have to do with establishing the notability of this character? However, as I have already said, though it would certainly be possible to improve the article, I don't want to waste any more time on a not-very-important fictional character, and I am striking my vote above, as I can't see the point. I apologise to Tone for asking them to relist when they closed the discussion while I was commenting - it would have been simpler just to forget about it. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:28, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- @RebeccaGreen: In answer to your legitimate question: Most people would argue that there is no use in a character article that passes WP:GNG but is only three lines long (which this one would be if the unnecessary PLOT was removed). It makes more sense to WP:TNT-delete it or cover the character in a parent article until it passes as a WP:SPINOUT without violating PLOT. – sgeureka t•c 14:50, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Yet another Tolkien's minor character with nothing but PRIMARY sources. Fails WP:GNG. Kept 3 years ago b/c back then the argument that "It's Tolkien!" (so has GOOGLEHITS) was enough. Recent trend at AfD suggests that this won't be enough to day... PS. And yes, WP:BEFORE was followed, this character does not have an entry in Tolkien Encyclopedia nor any in-depth analysis, yadda yadda, seriously, it's as minor as it gets.

- Keep and clean up This clearly passes WP:GNG, because ""Significant coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail" 30 seconds on google books turns up [47] [48] [49] [50] [51], another 30 seconds on google news turns up significant coverage, "more than a trivial mention", in news sources large [52] [53] and small [54] [55]and 30 seconds on google scholar finds numerous scientific [56] [57] [58] [59] sources, not to mention the ridiculous numbers of popular mentions on just the first two pages of the main google search [60] [61][62] [63] [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71]. In total this took me all of about two minutes if someone had two hours and conducted searches of public library catalogues I'm sure this could be multiplied tenfold or more.
- The article is poorly sourced, but WP:NEXIST applies here. The key thing is that information be Verifiable (emphasis mine). The available evidence shows the topic has gained significant independent coverage and recognition, nor is this a mere short-term phenomena/promotion by a single breeding entity. There are recognized peer-reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, and reputable media sources that cover this as a separate variety of dog.

A partial transcript of the BBC episode:
Winifred Robinson: "We've had complaints about a parcel-delivery service called Parcel2Go. It's an online site that gives you price comparison for couriers. You choose one from the site but you don't book it directly. Parcel2Go does that, promising to take the stress off your shoulders by communicating with your chosen courier. Parcel2Go also describes itself as a cheap alternative to the post office. But big problems seem to arise when things get lost. That's what Sean Levin found when he used Parcel2Go to send some clothes and stationary from his old home in London to his new address in Madrid.
[commentary from Sean Levin]
Winifred Robinson: "Well, we checked, and as Sean says, there are scores of complaints online about things that have been lost using Parcel2Go."
...
Winifred Robinson: "Stewart Higgins is an online retail expert at LCP Consulting. Stewart, scores of complaints about Parcel2Go. But is that any different from any other courier site?"
Stewart Higgins: "Well, I think we have to recognize that these couriers are shipping millions of parcels a day, often from one of the country to the other. And typically to do that, they need to go through a series of sortation centers, trunking vehicles, local service centers, and delivery vans. And it is inevitable that in some instances there will be some damage. And it is also inevitable that there will be a degree of loss. In the case of Parcel2Go, as in the other carriers, barcodes are used to track the product as it goes through the courier's network. And if a barcode gets lost or damaged, then actually the courier completely loses track of what that product is or what that parcel is."
Winifred Robinson: "Now Parcel2Go is advertising itself as a cheap alternative to the post office. How cheap is it?"
Stewart Higgins: [answer]
Winifred Robinson:" Is that part of the deal then, that you might not get such a great service and you'll pay a lot less for it?"
Stewart Higgins: "... The majority of their pricing is without any liability for the product. ... Other carriers tend to factor in a level of product insurance into their pricing and that tends to raise their pricing slightly compared to Parcel2Go."

- Brignall, Miles (2015-11-28). "How dare Parcel2Go sell insurance cover for 'no compensation' items?". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 2019-12-14. Retrieved 2019-12-14.
The article notes:
Parcel2Go claims to “take the work out of bulk parcel delivery” and acts as a middleman between customers like you and the standard courier firms it subcontracts the work to. It has built its business around the need for eBay purchasers/sellers to move items around the country. However, it is also a company that is almost impossible to contact by phone – it relies entirely on live chats – and one that features a very long list of exclusions in its terms and conditions.
The “no compensation” list goes on and on, and includes such items as concrete, hampers, pewter figures, posters – and virtually anything else that you might want to receive after shopping on eBay. In fact, the list is so long that we have come to the conclusion that one of the few items it will actually cover is a book – and only then if it’s not an antique.
Perhaps more worryingly, the company is collecting insurance premiums to cover items in carriage, even though it knows that its T&Cs mean it will not pay out for any damage, only if the item does not turn up.
We made a dummy booking this week and it was quite happy to accept an insurance payment for a “no compensation” item. This, in our opinion, is misleading.

The book notes:
Specifically designed with eBay.co.uk in mind, Parcel2go features a small, manageable range of key services. Unlike Royal Mail, which has features coming out of its cars, Parcel2go offers just four options: Next Day Delivery, 2- to 3-day Delivery, Jiffy Bag packages, and International Deliveries. These services are designed to keep costs down, but you can add insurance to next day deliveries.
Prices range from £6.99 for standard Jiffy Bag delivery to £18.99 for high value goods that have to be there tomorrow morning. Remember to add on VAT when ordering.

The book notes:
Richard Adams-Mercer has proved himself in the world of commerce, and he thinks that price and value go hand in hand for a business owner. His company, Parcel2Go, provides door-to-door delivery using seven of the world's biggest courier groups — and aims to provide clear, simple pricing information to customers. ...
Richard felt he could do better, especially since Parcel2Go, like other delivery companies, uses its own reserves to cover loss and damage. So he got his IT team to set up a system on the company's website that could offer a bespoke insurance quote to customers, based on a description of the item being delivered. Not everything can be insured. For instance, Parcel2Go's system will recognize a phrase such as 'computer monitor' and say that it can insure such a delicate item for loss but not for damage. However, such openness and clever use of price has won over customers, according to Richard. In the first six weeks of the service being offered, take-up of insurance cover increased 25 per cent. The business, based in the northern cover increased 25 per cent. The business, based in the northern English town of Bloton, in 2010 turned over £50m a year, handling in excess of 100,00 transactions a month.

And getting things from A to B has been the cornerstone of his Bolton-based business empire, which employs about 140 people across its many divisions. The phenomenal success of parcel2go.com, Britain’s largest online parcel delivery service, means it now moves more than two million parcels a year and attracts 18,000 new customers every month. Partnered with most major couriers, it is the first port of call for many small businesses and eBay traders, meaning the chances are that at least one of your Christmas presents will arrive under its auspices, contributing to a turnover that hit £17.5 million in the year to April (up from £12 million the year before), and is forecast to top £22 million next year.

- Delete per reasons outlined above. Notability is not established by the sources and article focuses heavily on product and store history Uhooep (talk) 01:16, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- There do seem to be sources proving it is a high-profile luxury brand founded in 1938 with a niche focus. That said, corporations to show notability also need some critical coverage, and I'm on the fence if these articles apply. I imagine there may be sources that aren't in English that could push opinions one way or the other, but didn't look. I had assumed there would be content critical of alligator farming at large to add to that, but did not find any myself. An article on the farm where Kwanpen sources from contains only positive information, so hardly critical. I wonder if mentioning the brand on the page for alligator farming would be a better choice, with a redirect maybe.

The reference to The Telegraph is about pick-up artists, online seduction and dating tips, with but a single mention of a person that's supposedly a co-creator of the syndicate, again without any mention of the syndicate itself.

Model and supposed businessperson with a few appearances, including a Playboy cover, but lacking the significant coverage required by WP:GNG, and no evidence of the large fanbase or innovative contributions required by WP:NMODEL. Full disclosure: there were several more sources before I stripped most of them out of the article, so I encourage you to assess the article as I found it. I think you will find, as I did, that these additional sources are largely interviews (not independent), mostly in questionable and/or self-published sources, or a photo gallery that adds nothing as a source.

. In addition, I consider it poor form to fillet the article by deleting 5 of the 7 sources and then say it does not pass WP:GNG. The purpose of an AfD is for the participants to decide. We already know what the AfD nominator thinks and diminishing the content is poor form. I can add reliable sources to the article if the nominator can agree not to strip them out based on their preference for deletion. Lightburst (talk) 18:40, 13 December 2019 (UTC)- I'm awfully sorry that you consider it 'poor form'. However, I started working on removing the clearly non-reliable sources before eventually accepting that the article was better off going to AFD. Reverting all of my changes first seemed a little unnecessary. I knew someone would object, which is why I explicitly called it out in my nomination statement, included a link to a version of the article before I had touched it, and added a brief explanation of what I objected to in those sources. Knowing Wikipedia, I should have known that someone would still manage to get upset, but I don't think I'm going to lose any sleep over it. Hugsyrup 09:16, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Medium.com is used as a reference in 862 Wikipedia articles. [73] They gave her significant coverage [74] and said she had a notable following of 400,000 followers on Instagram. Is there high for famous people? Does it count as a large cult following? She had ample coverage in FHM [75] She meets WP:NMODEL. "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Magazine covers would be considered "other production". She did have a significant role in these notable publications. Askmen is used in 174 Wikipedia articles.[76] That seems like a reliable source giving her significant coverage as well. [77] So the WP:GNG seem to have been met as well. Dream Focus 21:27, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Dream Focus: While I endorse the WP:NMODEL argument, WP:RSP states that Medium
is a self-published source [and] should never be used as a secondary source for living persons.
ミラP 00:58, 14 December 2019 (UTC) - It seems to me to be stretching the definition of WP:NMODEL almost to breaking point to suggest that a magazine cover is equivalent to a film, tv show or stage performance, or that it is what is meant by 'other productions'. The other examples in this criteria are all the subject of reviews, criticism and sometimes books or academic study, much of which is sustained long after the work is complete. Magazine covers are essentially throwaway items that are very rarely the subject of any secondary coverage at all, and using them to establish notability simply because they fit a technical definition of 'productions' is, honestly, absurd. Hugsyrup 09:16, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Dream Focus, you link to Medium and say "They" give her significant coverage. Who are "they"? Not Medium.com, surely. And are "they" a reliable source that confers notability?

I have added new links mentioning Canam. These links have the company's mention in Google books of verified authors, and verified journalists report links showing the media coverage of Canam. Please consider the changes for approving the Canam Consultants Wikipedia page. If you check the Wikipedia reference links of IDP and Edwise International, they are similar to the ones we have given. Therefore I request you to consider the changes that I have made by going through the links, and I hope they are good enough to make the Canam Consultants page live without any issues.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Anuraj_Sandhu (talk • contribs)

- Delete: A WP:SPA WP:COI article about a company, describing its services and affiliations but with no claim to encyclopaedic notability. The references provided may verify that it is a firm going about its business, but WP:CORPDEPTH requires more. Those references appended since the AfD began are no better: a mix of primary sources and routine listings. My searches found mention in a news item about a legal case but neither that nor anything else is sufficient to demonstrate notability. AllyD (talk) 09:05, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

- I don't want this to be construed as a WP:WAX argument, but wouldn't WP:DEFACTO (which I admit is not a WP:PG) apply here, where I believe it's been accepted that all Olympic athletes are notable? Here are the events that Nijkamp participated in, and each athlete listed currently has at least a stub similar to this one: K-2 500 and K-2 1000 -- SamCordestalk 21:33, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- JPL's opinion is in clear violation of WP:NEXIST. He attches these "votes" at a speed of 2 per minute, making them meaningless. For example, he claimed that Germany's most decorated actress should be deleted after he saw no references in the article. This is not how AfDs should work. gidonb (talk) 06:31, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. I can't agree with the suggestion that meeting WP:NOLYMPICS automatically qualifies the subject for GNG. The Olympics are only an event, just as a league or cup football match is an event. Merely taking part is not enough for GNG. There must be significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. This man does not have that. No Great Shaker (talk) 15:18, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- It isn't clear from this opinion that a thorough search for sources was conducted. gidonb (talk) 06:26, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep WP:SPORTBASIC says that "The guidelines on this page are intended to reflect the fact that sports figures are likely to meet Wikipedia's basic standards of inclusion if they have, for example, participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (such as the Olympics)." Coverage of Olympic athletes from the Netherlands in 1992 is likely to be offline (although some is online, such as this in Trouw [79] and this in Het Parool [80], and there may well be more) so we can't say that sources don't WP:NEXIST.

- To User:Flix11, Do not file an improper report here When you complained about NPOV of an article, Wikipedia has NPOV Noticeboard for appropriate place for NPOV discussion followed with adequate discourse on the article's talk page. So your report on Articles for deletion is not suitable here. The content of my edits rely on POV of properly reliable sources, not POV of mine:
WP:NPOV: All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.
- Also read Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/FAQ#Lack_of_neutrality_as_an_excuse_to_delete and This discussion carefully and rethinking your decision when complaining here. Qzxv5 (talk) 14:02, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Aside from strong (N)POV concerns, the topic of this article is redundant to November 2016 Jakarta protests.--Darwinek (talk) 00:29, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
- Strong Delete - Clear violation of WP:POVFORK and a blatant attempt to evade the neutrality policy. All of the same information is present in November 2016 Jakarta protests, where the topic is covered without the clear personal biases of this article's creator. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 10:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - it needs (a lot of) cleaning up but it is not a the same as November 2016 Jakarta protests. Al Maida 51 case also covers the blasphemy trial in 2017 while N2Jp stops with the events of Dec 2016. The blasphemy trial does not fit under the heading of Nov 2016 protest any more than Trump's presidency fits under covfefe.

Rizieq's foul-mouth might not known outside Indonesia but he is known here in Indonesia to have called for non-Muslim persecutions. Flix11 (talk) 16:29, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Response I think you should keep your words civil and do not attack other user personally by labeling or you must be banned from Wikipedia. Besides, I included the Indonesia–Saudi Arabia relations because of my content edit depended by various Indonesian news portals and other reliable sources and not my personal bias, actually.

- Merge and redirect to November 2016 Jakarta protests. Extensive duplication of content, and this one is poorly written, so be careful when copying text. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:10, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- No merge nor redirect I don't think it is 'Extensive duplication of content' or redundancy because I also included various events or cases related to it, such as December_2016_Jakarta_protests, Ahmad Dhani case, response from Ma'ruf Amin and Interior Minister, result of court, etc. that are not covered in November 2016 Jakarta protests. Moreover, November 2016 Jakarta protests is only about one of several protests while Al-Maida 51 case is separate event focused on the long criminal case process with aftermath and the a lot of events surrounding it. Qzxv5 (talk) 10:08, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to November 2016 Jakarta protests, per the above. If the proposed target article doesn't cover this content, it will after the merge. BD2412 T 04:13, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment, if merged then a new title will be needed. November 2016 Jakarta protests does not adequately encompass all the events from the Sept 2016 speech through to the end of the trial in May 2017. Cabayi (talk) 12:57, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep.

It seems improbable that insufficient sources exist to satisfy GNG for a player with such a career. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:35, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - Note that another editor has added some sources since the Afd was created. A search of Google Books finds that articles from this magazine are often used to verify research on the history of ragtime and its performers. I submit that this qualifies for notability for an old publication under WP:DEFUNCTNEWS, which says "a more common sense approach which considers whether the periodical has been widely cited or written about." The article does need to be cleaned up however. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:40, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to Ragtime#Revivals_2. Based on the book source, a mention and a redirect in the main article on the magazine's role in ragtime revival would be appropriate. Otherwise, delete. As for standalone notability, the book does not go into any depth, The Syncopated Times is unreliable (no reputation for fact-checking or accuracy), and if all that can be found on the paper is some details in a local obituary of the publisher, that's not significant coverage. The publisher's article could be a redirect target too but that's going to end up deleted. (not watching, please

This is an unofficial neighborhood of Denver. It even states in the article that it lines up with Civic Center, Denver. The map on the page even highlights Civic Center, not something called Golden Triangle. The page should be redirected to Civic Center instead, with perhaps some of its info offloaded onto that page. Bluedude588 (talk) 20:27, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. I support this deletion proposal and never really thought this article was needed in the first place.

- Keep A quick search shows that Golden Triangle and Civic Center are generally not the same but just have some overlap. I think both articles need to be corrected. This show that Civic Center is a basically rectangular shaped area containing government buildings and plazas. This shows that Golden Triangle is a much larger triangular shaped area with multiple uses and called " pretty much Denver's equivalent of New York City's Upper West Side." While there is some confusion because there are not formal boundaries for either, there are enough sources to support distinctive articles on both. MB 19:08, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry you are interpreting the sources you linked incorrectly. The thing that you linked for Civic Center is the Civic Center historic district, which is a completely separate thing. It corresponds roughly to the park that is there. If you think that there should be an article on the historic district, then that's fine, but that is not what the current Civic Center article is about. The article you linked about the Golden Triangle uses the exact same boundaries as what the city uses for the Civic Center neighborhood. When we are talking about neighborhoods, there is no difference between Civic Center and Golden Triangle. So do you wanna change your keep vote? Bluedude588 (talk) 19:38, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

- No I do not want to change my !vote. If you read the Civic Center, Denver article (at least before you started your merge ahead of the conclusion of this AFD) carefully, you will see it is written almost entirely about the "historic district", not the larger "neighborhood" that the city used the name on. The lead starts out with "the center of civic life" and the history section covers the development of the park and the civic buildings. The article is/was really about the core civic center area only. Perhaps the title should be changed, but I haven't determined the common name for the park and immediate area - it may be correct as is. This article, Golden Triangle, Denver, is about the greater neighborhood, which the city may call Civic Center (note that some sources say Golden Triangle excludes Civic Center Park). It talks about the architectural style of homes within the triangle shaped area, major streets, etc. It has almost no overlap with Civic Center, Denver. I see that the two are sufficiently different and both notable. It doesn't matter that the city calls the neighborhood Civic Center; if Golden Triangle is more commonly used than that should be the article title. But this is another discussion unrelated to deletion. MB 05:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- You are still wrong. No, the article was not "almost entirely about the 'historic district'". If you actually read the two articles (Before I started fixing them) then you'd see that they are pretty much carbon copies. The Civic Center article focused a lot on the history of the park as well, but did it better anyways. You mention that it talks about the architectural style, but it was literally for a single sentence. A sentence that was rightfully just copied over to the correct article. You see them as sufficiently different only because you don't actually understand what they are. Civic Center and the Golden Triangle and the same thing, or at least so similar that they don't need two articles. They have the same borders, the same history, the same buildings, the same everything. As a last thing, the city actually doesn't even call the historic district Golden Triangle. It still calls it Civic Center. Golden Triangle is the colloquial name for Civic Center. Nothing else. If you want to assert something else, you are going to have to come up with evidence. Bluedude588 (talk) 06:03, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- I think you are missing the point. The Civic Center park and district around the park has lots of history and is obviously notable. It should have an article. We already have an article,, Civic Center that is mostly about that should be kept (and possibly renamed, defined better, etc). This article, Golden Triangle is about a large neighborhood with different borders. It should be kept also as it is independently notable. Just because in some instances Golden Triangle and Civic Center both refer to the same neighborhood doesn't negate the fact that we can/should have one article about the neighborhood and one article about the civic area (the park and government buildings), regardless of what either is titled.

- Comment: It seems to me that this should be framed as a merger proposal, and I am not sure if this should be done at AFD instead of by the usual merger proposal tagging and discussion process. However from past experience it seems hard to stop an AFD once started, so maybe the merger proposal should be discussed here. But no one is really arguing for outright deletion, are they? At most a merger with redirect(s) left behind from one or both. Would the better merged name be "Civic Center" or "Golden Triangle" or "Golden Triangle--Civic Center" or "Civic Center--Golden Triangle"? Is there any source out there which refers to them/this in a way reflecting both names?
- Some are saying the two are different names for more or less the same area. In which case both names should appear as alternatives in bold in the first sentence of a merged article. Right? Could a merged article be written which has a paragraph or section about each name, and where it came from and what it emphasizes, even though some say their areas largely overlap? I would assume that the "Civic Center" label is more emphasizing the presence of various important government buildings, while "Golden Triangle" may emphasize business or whatever else might be golden, and/or maybe triangular shape? Even though some definitions of area might be exactly the same, I am sure that there must be others which do not exactly overlap, and which emphasize different blocks/buildings/aspects. I may comment more later. --Doncram (talk) 03:07, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Some kind of merge makes sense. I've already merged the info as much as possible, so I assumed a redirect could work. I can't find any source that clearly lays out the difference. From what I understand, Civic Center is both the official name of the neighborhood, the name of the park there, and the name of a historic district that encompasses the park. Golden Triangle is a local name for the neighborhood of Civic Center. Thus, Golden Triangle should just redirect to Civic Center. If we wanted two articles then there should be Civic Center (Neighborhood) and Civic Center (Park) or something like that. Bluedude588 (talk) 07:01, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Kinda like how the Five Points article incorporates RiNo into its name on the template for the neighborhoods of Denver. If Five Points and RiNo can work as one article, Civic Center and Golden Triangle absolutely can. Bluedude588 (talk) 07:05, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, but the term "Civic Center" has a generally understood meaning. A "civic center" is on the size level of what is apparently the Civic Center Historic District in Denver, i.e. 2 to 5 blocks in size, consisting of government department buildings and other public buildings and plazas/parks in between, especially plazas/parks holding statues/memorials serving government purposes. A "civic center" is not merely a park or plaza with no government buildings, nor is it a large neighborhood of several dozen or more blocks that contains any commercial or residential areas. I happen to be aware of fact that in some cities, the term Civic Center is used for just one building which combines multiple government depts/functions and an auditorium/concert hall.
- See Civic Center, San Francisco, which is about original plans and later actual developments for a small area including concentration of very governmental buildings plus plazas. One version was a diamond- or plus-sign-shaped five block area of governmental and art museum buildings around a plaza/park.
- The "Five Points" example is a good one. There is a general understanding of what a "five points" is, with the one in NYC being the most famous I am sure. It is literally a five-way intersection itself or a small area centered on that, going at most, say, 1/2 block down each of the streets. On a literal level, I simply do not believe the lede in the Five Points, Denver article, which asserts that "Five Points is..." a neighborhood or large district. No, literally a "five points" is one intersection, and sure, then there can also be a Five Points District or a Five Points Neighborhood which is a large neighborhood. However I am sure that it is okay to say that in Denver "Five Points" alone is also used as a shorter term for the large neighborhood as a whole, and even to say that in Denver "Five Points" nowadays rarely refers to the original area of the intersection of X, Y, and Z streets alone.
- About "Civic Center" usage for Denver, it would help a lot if there was clear discussion up front that the actual/real "civic center" is a small area, probably pretty much the area that is included in the Civic Center Historic District. While the usage by the city of "Civic Center" to refer to a large district is pretty much a misnomer, a misapplication of the term, to refer to the large district also commonly known as the Golden Triangle because it is mostly a commercial area (if that is true) and/or includes most of the original commercial core of Denver (if that is true) and is triangular in shape. Is that about right? --Doncram (talk) 16:19, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

- Regardless if Civic Center is a misnomer, that is the name of the neighborhood as decided by the city. We at Wikipedia do not get to decide what neighborhoods are called. I'm all for clearing up confusing in the opener of the article. Golden Triangle is the name of a neighborhood organization. There are hundreds of these in Denver and certainly they don't deserve their own article. Bluedude588 (talk) 17:32, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- No we don't decide what neighborhoods are called, but we do decide on the titles of WP articles about them. The official name is one consideration, but the WP:COMMONNAME takes precedence. If the neighborhood is more commonly called Golden Triangle, then that should be the WP article name also. MB 17:50, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- I believe I have shown that it is more commonly called Civic Center though. I listed out the reasons pretty clearly down at the bottom of the page in my last edit. If anything we should have two articles named Civic Center, one for the neighborhood and one for the park/historic district. Bluedude588 (talk) 18:18, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

- Much of the current Civic Center, Denver is about proposals for, and development of, a City Beautiful-era real civic center: a park/boulevard area surrounded by government buildings. Then bizarrely there are confused other usages, like a claim about average house prices, which must be a claim about the much larger Civic Center District / Golden Triangle large neighborhood. Obviously there are no houses in a civic center. I believe that the photo at right is a picture of a real civic center (except it excludes showing the Colorado State Capitol itself), and I tend now to believe that "Civic Center" in Denver commonly means the actual civic center. I tend now to believe there needs to be one article about the actual civic center, and one about the big neighborhood. There has been mention of a park named Civic Center. Is that literally true? If so, that needs to be described as another misnomer, because a park cannot be a civic center. Or is it actually officially named "Civic Center Park" or something like that? --Doncram (talk) 16:37, 10 December 2019 (UTC)*
- I could agree that one article for the Civic Center historic district and one for the neighborhood, though I still feel like they could probably be in one article. And yes it is officially named "Civic Center Park". I live right next to it. Bluedude588 (talk) 17:32, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Doncram, please look at the version of Civic Center, Denver from before the recent changes by Bluedude. That was more focused on the smaller district around the civic buildings. There certainly is a Civic Center Park, the green space around the state capitol and some other buildings. I think that can be covered within the article on the Civic Center since it is so closely related. But I think we agree that there should definitely be one article on the triangular shaped neighborhood and another on the civic buildings & park. MB 17:09, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Not sure why you keep attacking my edits. I didn't remove anything, and I actually even improved the parts on the civic buildings by adding sources. What was covered in that article needed to be expanded because Civic Center is a whole neighborhood, not just a district. Create one about the smaller district if you want, but that's not what this article is really about. Maybe the current article needs to be renamed Civic Center, Denver (Neighborhood) and then the other one Civic Center, Denver (District or Park). Bluedude588 (talk) 17:32, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- All I have said was that you concluded before the AFD was over that Golden Triangle should be merged into Civic Center and started make those changes. You just stated that the article needs to be expanded because Civic Center is a whole neighborhood. That conclusion has not gained consensus. Civic Center may be the official city name for the Golden Triangle neighborhood, but that does not necessarily drive WP. MB 17:50, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- (ec) I should have stated that MB invited to take a look at this AFD (which I would probably have gotten to soon, anyhow, as I generally review AFDs about places and this is the kind that I would comment in). MB and I have cooperated in the past about a lot of houses and historic districts listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places; we are both active members of wp:NRHP.
- Hey i think you both are partly right. This version from November 5, before Bluedude588's edits was clearly already about the big neighborhood / district, and did include what i am calling "confusion" already. Also much of it was clearly about the original civic center idea. The first sentence is absolutely stating the article is about the neighborhood. The rest of the first paragraph only goes on about stuff in the actual civic center though. The first paragraph was:
Civic Center is a neighborhood in Denver, Colorado. The area is known as the center of the civic life in the city, with numerous institutions of arts, government, and culture as well as numerous festivals, parades, and protests throughout the year. The park bearing the same name is home to a fountain, several statues, and formal gardens, and includes a Greek amphitheater, a war memorial, and the Voorhies Memorial Seal Pond. It is well known for its symmetrical Neoclassical design.
- Bluedude588 must have added the average house price mention (which is okay in an article about a neighborhood), and is obviously going with the neighborhood/district concept, and wants to develop about the neighborhood. I take it that MB might want to go with the civic center concept and might want to develop about the historic district.
- There is currently no article about the historic district; Civic Center Historic District (Denver, Colorado) shows currently as a redlink in National Register of Historic Places listings in downtown Denver. "Denver City Center" appears in List of NHLs in CO but links to the Civic Center, Denver article, which i think does not mention the National Historic Landmark status at all. The list of NHLS includes this document with multiple maps which describes the National Historic Landmark District, and the highly overlapping NRHP district and the highly overlapping local historic district.
- To move forward now, I and/or MB should develop a proper article about the actual civic center and the overlapping historic districts and National Historic Landmark. That might be done in a new article, rather than converting/refocusing the Civic Center, Denver article, though that should be cannibalized to copy/move the City Beautiful stuff to the new article. Maybe that should go at Denver Civic Center (currently just a redirect), which I think is the legal name for the National Historic Landmark. Or, we could convert/refocus the Civic Center, Denver article, and Bluedude588 could "take over" the current Golden Triangle article and make it properly convey about the big district / official neighborhood?
- How about this: let's all pause on wrestling about the current Civic Center, Denver article. While I and/or MB create a draft new article about the civic center proper and the historic districts only, at Talk:Civic Center, Denver/Draft about civic center proper (a redlink subpage of a Talk page). And then later revisit this all. I have to go away now for at least several hours. --Doncram (talk) 17:58, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- I like the idea of creating an article on the historic districts. We still need to decide on what the name of the neighborhood article should be. I still believe that Golden Triangle should be redirected to the current Civic Center article, and with the current civic center article be renamed Civic Center (Neighborhood). As to which name should encompass the neighborhood (Civic Center or Golden Triangle) I want to link two pages. Denver Post crimes by neighborhood. Denver Gov website that lists it as Civic Center. Also want to point out that on Google Maps the area is only listed as Civic Center. The highlighted part of the map on the Golden Triangle article itself calls it civic center. And anecdotally, I live in Denver. People call it Civic Center. I've suspected that the whole Golden Triangle thing is to lure tourists to the area, but that's just speculation. If our goal in naming articles is to not confuse people, I think we should use the name that appears in most other spots, with a clarification in the article that it is sometimes called "Golden Triangle" Bluedude588 (talk) 18:14, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

But which article should become what?
Both articles were created back in 2005, very early in Wikipedia's history, and were complementary, one covering the real city center and one covering the Golden Triangle neighborhood, which is a real thing. Both mentioned, but differentiated themselves from, the Denver-defined neighborhood named "Civic Center".
- See this first version of "Civic Center, Denver", by editor Vertigo700, on 15 July 2005. Although it starts off saying it is a neighborhood, it is pretty clearly about the actual city center, and mentions the larger Denver-defined neighborhood "Civic Center" as a different thing, in my reading. YMMV. It includes the material about City Beautiful that remains in the article.
- See this first version of "Golden Triangle, Denver", by editor User:Klestrob44 on 19 September 2005. It is clearly about a big neighborhood, and notes that it largely overlaps with the Denver-defined neighborhood but is specifically different in its boundaries, going one block further one way, for example. It included good material which should probably be restored.
I guess with some reluctance that we probably do not want two separate articles about the mostly-overlapping big neighborhoods; one article should cover them both (and respect that there are some differences).
Since 2005, evidently, editors have been arriving at the Civic Center, Denver article with varying expectations. Some have taken steps towards coopting it to be about the neighborhood, so it became "confusing" (my term). Now I see that Bluedude588 is making edits as if they assume this discussion is over, as they proceed in developing the Civic Center article to be about the neighborhood. Bluedude588, could you pause please? And the Golden Triangle article has been edited poorly and has also gone downhill and no longer differentiates itself properly from the city services-defined neighborhood.
I happen to take Wikipedia's attribution of contributions pretty seriously, and think it matters that the articles should have their edit history showing the major contributions, especially early ones, that developed the articles. From this point of view then, I would like to take the Civic Center, Denver article and refocus it to be about the real civic center. And I would like for the Golden Triangle article to be developed as the neighborhood one. Bluedude can easily copy in the text they have recently been developing at the other article and get full credit for their wording, while it would be a pain or impossible to fix the edit history by administrative tools. It would seem bizarre to me, and would screw the historic contributors to both articles attribution-wise, if the AFD proposal on the table here (delete or redirect Golden Triangle) went through. Right now, I would rather not create a brand new article about the historic district area; I would like to develop the original article about that, so that old and new contributions in the same vein are together. Bluedude, can you agree to pause your working in the opposite direction? I think you could possibly agree to this overall proposal instead.
About the names for the two articles: how about the one covering the real civic center being moved to, say, "Denver Civic Center", which has some provenance(?) as the actual national-level name for the district as a U.S. National Historic Landmark. This would be replacing the redirect there (which has no meaningful edit history). And for the article now at Golden Triangle, Denver, being moved to "Civic Center, Denver", which seems consistent with naming of Denver's other operations/service areas.
About how the neighborhood article is to be developed: It should show both terms in bold in the first sentence. It needs to give proper prominence to the Golden Triangle term, which is a real thing, and which has some differences with the Denver government-defined neighborhood. There are Wikipedians good at producing maps; a request should be made for a map showing the boundary outlines of both the city-defined neighborhood and the Golden Triangle merchants association definition of their area. --Doncram (talk) 22:36, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep: I suggest this AFD should be closed with "Keep" decision, consistent with the original two complementary articles and with consensus again now that there should be two complementary articles. For clarity in next steps, the closer should state that the article at "Golden Triangle, Denver" is again to be the one about the neighborhood, and the "Civic Center, Denver" article is again to be the one about the real civic center. If the participants here can quickly agree on names for the two articles, that would be great. Otherwise a formal wp:RM should be opened to consider renaming both articles. IMO, the wp:RM process is a good one attracting regular participants who are better at renamings than are the regulars at AFD. --Doncram (talk) 22:26, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Doncram, Thanks for all the effort here. You dug into the article history more than I did, going back to their creation. You have provided more reasons that I did why Civic Center, Denver should be about the real civic center (which I think it mostly was except for a few stray things about the neighborhood) and Golden Triangle, Denver should be about the neighborhood. I looked at the nom form for the HD and the formal name is "Civic Center Historic District" and the given common name in that document is "Civic Center". It goes from Delaware St on the west to Grant St on the east (beyond the eastern boundary of the neighborhood). The NHL uses "Denver Civic Center", but it has a smaller boundary than the NRHP HD. Searching for "Civic Center Denver" brings lots of hits to Civic Center Park, this quote "Civic Center is a 12-acre urban oasis anchoring one of the grandest architectural campuses in America." from [81], some very close places like the Civic Center Station (bus station) just north of Colfax Ave, the building at 1560 Broadway is also called One Civic Center Plaza. I find very few things that refer to the neighborhood (even though it is officially called Civic Center by the city). So I still think the best name for the article is its current name, Civic Center, Denver.
- As far as the name for the neighborhood article, if I search on "Golden Triangle", I find all kinds of hits using that name, various news sources including Denver Post, hotels.com, zillow.com, nextdoor.com, zagat.com, grubhub.com, yelp.com, and so on. On top of all that, I found the city of Denver planning department using the "unofficial name" [82] !!!! It seems to be more than just a few realtors trying to promote the area with a better name. Even in google maps, if I search for "Civic Center Denver", it highlights the triangle and labels it "Golden Triangle" at the top and also "Civic Center" [83]. So I am quickly coming to the conclusion that the current name, Golden Triangle, Denver is the most common name for the neighborhood. I agree with you that if there is no consensus here on this, then a RM discussion should be opened. MB 03:18, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

- I agree with everything that has been said except the naming of the articles. The neighborhood's official and most common name is Civic Center. I don't know why everything that I have pointed out in regards to the naming has been ignored. Civic Center is also mentioned as the name on the Denver Post, nextdoor, ect. And I don't see what you mean by your Google Maps link. I see nothing there that says Golden Triangle. The neighborhood's name is not Golden Triangle. More sources call it Civic Center. Here's a simple test. Google "Map of Denver Neighborhoods" and look at the results. The VAST majority of maps depict it as "Civic Center". Why are so many people suggesting to name it by its less common, and less official, name? Make a Civic Center (Neighborhood) and a Civic Center (Park). I'm messaging a history professor at Metro about this for some input too. Bluedude588 (talk) 07:22, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- This is the professor I messaged. And he backs up what I said. To quote: "As far as I know, it's basically a marketing ploy. In the 90s, LoDo became the first Denver neighborhood marketed as the next great thing, essentially a way to package gentrification and remaking a crumbling area. Golden Triangle is a lot like LoHi, RiNo, and other invented identities to market an up and coming area to potential buyers.". Using Google's search by date function I could confirm that there isn't any references to Golden Triangle until around 1998. He also recommended looking at a book called "Denver Landmarks and Historic Districts ", so hopefully I can find that at the library or something. But I was right. It seems more like a relevantly recent rebranding. The neighborhood article on Wikipedia should be called Civic Center. Bluedude588 (talk) 07:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

- Information Update So I ended up going to the library. Apparently all the city-defined Denver neighborhoods came about in the early 70s. Here is an article about it. Then I found a book called "DIA and Other Scams" by Phil Goodstein. It states that the term Golden Triangle came about in the late 1970s, around the time that the area started be invested more in. Interestingly, I guess the area's original common name was "Evans Addition". Bluedude588 (talk) 02:36, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- I threw the naming question to the people of the Denver subreddit. Here's what they said. Overwhelming majority said that they call it Civic Center. Civic Center is both the common and the legal name for the neighborhood. Bluedude588 (talk) 00:27, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
- Whatever. This is an AFD not the wp:RM that can follow later. It would help others not have to read all this, Bluedude588, if you would agree that the consensus is that both articles need to be kept. Then we could move on to the renaming issue, which is not settled here because there is not agreement here and this is not the forum to handle that. --Doncram (talk) 02:39, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- Actually i think Bluedude588 did agree further above that 2 articles are needed. No one disagrees about that. This AFD is ready to be closed with "Keep" outcome, and perhaps with direction to proceed to wp:RM next, if the closer feels it is necessary to say that. --Doncram (talk) 02:44, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- Can you set up the RM? I'm not sure how to proceed with that. Bluedude588 (talk) 06:45, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- I don't agree that the consensus is that both articles should be kept. I don't think Golden Triangle is really a thing. Wikipedia has been successfully used to 'legitimize' the Golden Triangle name to promote the interests of a few. There's no article called "The Sunflower State" because the article for Kansas covers this. One entity, one article. Encyclopedias don't have multiple articles for the same thing. Jeffrey Beall (talk) 11:29, 14 December 2019 (UTC).
- I agree that there could be two articles, with one for the park/historic district and one for the neighborhood. The current two articles could serve as a base to that, but just with the Golden Triangle one being renamed. Do you agree with that? Bluedude588 (talk) 15:06, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- I'm in favor of the original proposal — to delete the Golden Triangle article. --Jeffrey Beall 16:41, 14 December 2019
- I think all are participating here in good faith, but I think there is a procedural misunderstanding in effect. It remains the fact that all participating want for there to be an article about the big triangular-shaped neighborhood, and I am pretty sure that no one objects to there being a separate article about the actual civic center which is clearly notable on its own (being the subject of 3 separate historic district listings, and there being plenty to say about it). I suppose someone could potentially argue for keeping two separate big neighborhood articles, but no one has argued for that. Jeffrey Beale, we are agreeing about that; we don't want one Kansas article and one "Sunflower State" article, we just want one article that presents/explains both names which apply to the same thing.
- As I have said above, then it seems right and good to me for the 2005 article about the actual civic center (the article currently named "Civic Center, Denver") to be designated for use in making the historic district article, and for the 2005 article about the big triangular neighborhood (the article currently named "Golden Triangle, Denver") to be designated for use in making the big triangular neighborhood article.
- I hear what Jeffrey Beall (JB) is saying, that they want the article currently named "Golden Triangle" article deleted, but I understand that to be, well, like a political or negotiating stance, because they really really dislike the "Golden Triangle" term and they want it abolished. JB, I think you can/should express/explain your dislike for that name in the wp:RM which should happen, and also on the Talk page of the big neighborhood article going forward. I happen to think both names for the big neighborhood should be given in the article about the big neighborhood, but I am open to discussion about what sources actually say, which is what should "win" consensus in the Talk discussions going forward. (Frankly some sources above where the City of Denver calls it the Golden Triangle neighborhood are pretty convincing to me that it is a name which should at least be mentioned, but this is a side debate IMHO.) I suppose that JB could think this is important in terms of tactics towards "winning" the naming question, because the default in a disputed, equally divided RM would be to keep the original name. To JB, perhaps this helps: I myself don't think the big neighborhood article's name matters; I am willing to go along with it reflecting "Civic Center" somehow and not showing "Golden Triangle" in the article name itself (though I do currently think the latter term has to be mentioned and there has to be a redirect from it). Honestly I think a proper wp:RM will work fine.
- Anyhow, given JB's position, there is not unanimous consensus here, so this AFD cannot be settled "Speedy Keep"; an admin or non-admin closer has make a decision in the presence of disagreement. IMO, the only reasonable decision is "Keep", plus perhaps direction to the participants to use the wp:RM process about the articles' naming going forward plus use the Talk page of the big neighborhood article to debate whether it should mention "Golden Triangle" or not. I don't think the closer should try to make a decision about what the final names of articles should be, because AFD is not the right forum for that and we haven't been trying to properly discuss/decide that.
- The only alternative possible, and what I think JB wants, is to decide a) to delete the 2005 article about big neighborhood, b) allow creation of a new separate article about the actual city center, and c) usurp/transform (or continue the usurption/transformation that has already started) the 2005 article about the actual civic center to be about the big neighborhood instead. However, if that were done, IMHO it would be necessary for administrators to do edit history merges to put the 2005-and-on history of the civic center into the new article, and to move the edit history from 2005-and-on of the neighborhood to put that into the transformed article. This is unreasonable. Actually I think (am not sure) that admin tools have limits and might not be able to achieve what is necessary to make the history show properly, i.e. to put in place exactly what is directly accomplished by taking what I call the "reasonable" decision. I think it is far better to simply acknowledge here that JB and Bluedude588 do indeed have strong opinions about what the big neighborhood article is named going forward, and about whether it mentions the "Golden Triangle" name or not. Fine. I cannot imagine they really care about what the past edit history shows, as long as they get their way in the naming and content going forward. (However, IMHO the edit history from 2005 on does matter, meeting our commitment to editors that they should get reasonable credit in the edit history for what they contributed.)
- I'm sorry this has gotten so long, and I will try not to comment any much further. I think everything needed to be said has been said, and I do think this is ready to be closed (with "Keep" decision). --Doncram (talk) 05:19, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

- Comment. Having read the above, this AfD is probably heading for a "no consensus" close but with a comment that there is a "weak, but not unanimous, consensus" that there should be two articles, but disagreement over the names/titles of those articles (a concern that "Golden Triangle" is not the appropriate name), and thus an RM is needed to resolve. Have I got that right?. Britishfinance (talk) 09:17, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I would say it should be "keep" based on the weight of the arguments (but I am involved). Since "no consensus" gives the same result, either way there will need to be a follow-up RM to resolve the names/titles. MB 14:56, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

While notability itself is not temporary, from time to time a reassessment of the evidence of notability or suitability of existing articles may be requested by any user via a deletion discussion."Those who are suggesting that there is notability would benefit from pointing to specific sourcing that points to notability per GNG or a SNG, otherwise as this is not a vote appropriate weight will mean this is closed as delete. Relisting to give those suggesting notability more time to demonstrate notability given previous AfDs.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:20, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. The arguments about "past notability" are misplaced. What matters today is whether or not a subject meets the notability criteria of today, and these criteria do, of course, include past notability. In other words, if the subject per today's criteria has been notable in the past, it's worth an entry in Wikipedia, generally speaking.[note 1]
- The criteria for porn stars have changed and now people under this category are supposed to meet the WP:NACTOR criteria. Our subject clearly does not. The sources offered as evidence of her notability amount to a New York article about someone else entirely and where subject is name-dropped once; an article in "industry" magazine AVN about her appearance in an Off-Broadway theatrical piece; two pieces, one in the French Vice and one in CNBC about legal pot-selling that mention our subject; and so on. We do not even have WP:GNG. -The Gnome (talk) 11:54, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per the depreciated WP:PORNBIO guidelines and the fail of WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG Wm335td (talk) 20:03, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment I'm not gonna lie, but I really don't see how she doesn't satisfy WP:GNG or specifically WP:NACTOR. She's been covered repeatedly in print publications as the primary topic of the publication, and there are numerous sources to back that up. Her coverage in mainstream sources is also there. If she weren't a pornographer, I feel like this discussion wouldn't be going the way it has. So with that said: WP:NOTCENSORED applies here, and I'll say it again: notability is not temporary. Deprecating WP:PORNBIO is irrelevant. —Locke Cole • t • c 23:16, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Greetings, Locke Cole. Care to support the claim about her being "covered repeatedly in print publications as the primary topic of the publication" with some sources? I've dealt above with the previous attempt at presenting sources but there might be something out there still. And, as far as I'm concerned, I reject the allegation that her being a former porn star affects the way my suggestion went. Thanks. -The Gnome (talk) 00:44, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a musician, with no properly sourced claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but must accomplish something that counts as a valid notability claim (e.g. charting hits, notable music awards, etc.) and receive reliable source coverage about that -- but as written, this literally just states that he exists, and then jumps directly to listing his discography without even attempting to say anything about him that's even measurable against NMUSIC at all, and then sources 75 per cent to YouTube copies of his own videos and 25 per cent to a single glancing namecheck of his existence in a media blurb whose core subject is other people, which means it's referenced exactly zero per cent to reliable source coverage about him.

- Delete - First of all, per WP:NEXIST the quality of the sources presently in the article are not evidence of notability or lack thereof, so it is irrelevant what percentage of the current references are to YouTube and other junk. They can be easily removed. Otherwise, this musician does have a fairly reliable media profile at: [89], which is already cited in the article, and there is also a valid source already in the article verifying that he won a cash prize at the songwriter's conference. Alas, activities of that nature don't add up to enough notability, and otherwise it is true that other media coverage of the musician consists of brief mentions of him being present at some event. Perhaps it's simply too soon for this kid. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:30, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - As the creator, I do agree that the article certainly did not start out strong (in fact, for the first citation I used the wrong link, hence why that page was not about the subject). It did not help that the French article, which I used as a starting point, focused more on various music festivals he had entered than his work. However, I do think that he fits muliple criteria specified by WP:NMUSIC. He has a gold album (see [90], enter "Émile Bilodeau" into the search field), won major awards ([91][92]), and has been covered in articles by multiple independent sources([93][94][95]). In my opinion, the solution is further research and editing, not deletion.

Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ENT: the references currently in the article are a directory listing and an award roster. Mr. White's industry awards don't count towards anything now that PORNBIO has been deprecated. I looked for additional sources and found only a few mentions in the biography of a different pornographic performer[97]. The article was kept at AfD in 2006, when having appeared in a large number of pornographic films was taken as an indication of notability. Cheers, gnu57 02:13, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

This biographical puff piece about an unremarkable Greece-based artist qualifies for speedy deletion under CSD X2, but speedy deletion was declined on the rather curious basis that it's been cleaned up by two editors, although not, as of the time of nomination, into comprehensible English. I don't see what's notable about this person and I don't see what's reliable about the sources. —S Marshall T/C 01:27, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete the coverage seems to be in Mykonos guidebooks and various blogs. It does not amount to anything even approaching WP:ARTIST. From what I read, she hangs out in the harbour in Mykonos painting landscapes and selling them to tourists, so none of the traditional artist notability indicators apply (major exhibitions, critical commentary, awards, etc). I could not actually find one exhibition or independent review of her work, so using our usual artist notability criteria is pointless.
- GNG-wise, it is very weak. The coverage is mostly trivial or in unimportant publications.
- Example coverage from the cited source greecetraveller.com (a blog) reads:
At the top of Matoyianni Street, in front of the Kessaris jewelry store, on summer evenings you may find naïf painter Carolina Wells (though she’s often down on the harbor when it’s not windy). Her paintings, which have got international acclaim of late, but have been dear to locals for decades, sell like hotcakes for around 100 Euros apiece.
- Overall, I think she is mostly a sort of local celebrity. I don't think we need to cover local celebrities in the absence of good independent in-depth coverage; the guidebooks have that sort of thing covered.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:39, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Reading the story about her, it explains that Karolina sells four types of paintings: the Blue and White Painting, the Red Painting, the Restaurant Painting, and the Red Boat Painting. The Blue and White Painting sells the best, but painting all that blue is a lot of work. It's a story, so you have to allow some leeway for artistic license, but I think it's indicative of what we're discussing here. Curiocurio (talk) 16:00, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Just a fact: The artist is not Greek as the proposer wrote, she is an American. As for notability: She has coverage in Greek national press (Downtown magazine) and main TV channel (Skai TV, "one of the largest media groups in the country" according to the relevant article). She has been an inspiration for a short story by Peter Selgin as well as for a poem from artists which are not local to Mykonos, she is mentioned in travel guides. As far as I am concerned these are enough for a person to be considered notable. --FocalPoint (talk) 19:26, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- The Downtown Magazine piece is quoted in the article as "did you see the Karolines' which were hung by the entrance? And, of course, I have now learned to recognize the masterpieces of the great painter of the island..." It is trivial coverage. Being the subject of fiction or a poem is not particularly important either. What counts is in-depth SIGCOV, which is missing here.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete We cannot be entertaining the idea that we can uses sources like karolinasmykonos.com, which is operated by the subject's daughter , who writes "Carol Wells was unique from the beginning of her life. Born on Christmas day in 1939 into the highest strata of Boston society, she was blessed was(sic!) talent, intellect, beauty, and independence." No. Additional comments: [98] isn't used as a source for anything except her name and education and is written by her daughter. Not an independent, reliable source [99] is a travel guide, not accessible online, the nearest library with a copy is more than 6000 kilometers away. [100] is the website of a travel agent, not an independent, reliable source [101] is a dead link [102] lists a number of local shopkeepers (none of whom appear to be notable BTW)and makes the claim that her paintings have got international acclaim of late, but provides no evidence of such acclaim or even an indication of what form it takes: exhibitions, awards? [103] is a video on the website of Skai Group which is cited to support the claim that "The life of Karolina has been presented on Greek television". I couldn't get it to run. It seems a bit odd to mention that she's the subject of a documentary, but not use that documentary as a source for the content of the article, and instead highlight the fact that a source exists,even though we don't get to find out what it says. [104] is fiction, and definitely not a reliable source[105] is a poem by Zen Cowboy Poet & Freelance Philosopher Neil Meili, whose relevance to me is unclear. In summary, the sources are so poor that it is no possible to verify anything. This is not just a failure to meet the requirements of WP:GNG, it fails WP:V Vexations (talk) 22:48, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Additional coverage:
- Exhibition in Mykonos 21 - 31 October 2019
- Same exhibition in Athens, so moving out of local to national level

- Link one (koinignomi.gr) is a list of artists in a show: "Under the title "Contemporary Mykonos Painters", they present their works, along with the work to be printed in the diary, by Armacola Georgina, Lydia Venieris, Veronis Petros, Galatis Giannis, Karolina Woellipi..."
- Link two is a derivative of the first article, with her name listed but no commentary. So both sources are trivial coverage. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:01, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Appears to be notable, and much written about, as local personality/artist, although missing the grade for notability as an artist as such. Potential to expand from the Greek wiki article (I don't read Greek, but have linked with an "expand" tag). PamD 12:08, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- @PamD: could you point to two or three reliable sources that have more than a paragraph on her? I checked the Greek article and it has no RS that can be verified-- just blogs and the like. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:34, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- User:PamD has expressed it better than I did. Indeed, the notability of Karolina is as local personality/artist, not for notability as an artist as such. I have selected both for the Greek and the English articles easily accessible material. I have more references to add, however, they are not on line and I will add them during the next 6-7 days. --FocalPoint (talk) 21:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah that is the point: she might be locally notable via trivial coverage in travel magazines for selling paintings at the wharf.... but we are a global encyclopedia.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:06, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Delete or Draftify: In my opinion, this failed WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR in the first nomination and still fails in this nomination. Since the first nomination, I am not able to find further evidence of notability.
