Redirectto List of former Disneyland attractions#Adventureland. My search on Newspapers.com turned up one- or two-sentence mentions of this restaurant (e.g., [1][2]), but no significant coverage. My Google search also turned up a few mentions, like this blog post, but no in-depth coverage in reliable sources. I note that the restaurant's successor, Aladdin's Oasis Dinner Show, already redirects to List of former Disneyland attractions. I don't think there's any content from this micro stub that's worth merging. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 04:07, 21 February 2020 (UTC)- Keep: I rewrote the article using the following five books and two magazines as sources:
- The Disneyland Encyclopedia by Chris Strodder, Santa Monica Press (2017)
- The Disneyland Story: The Unofficial Guide to the Evolution of Walt Disney's Dream by Sam Gennawey, Keen Communications (2014)
- Secret Stories from Disneyland: Trivia Notes, Quotes and Anecdotes by Jim Korkis, Theme Park Press (2017)
- The Disneyland Book of Lists by Chris Strodder, Santa Monica Press (2015)
- The Wonderful World of Disney Television: A Complete History by Bill Cotter, Disney Editions (1997)
- Disney News Magazine volume 7 issue 4 (Fall 1972)
- The E-Ticket issue 39 (Spring 2003)
- There's also coverage of the Tahitian Terrace in the book Eat Like Walt: The Wonderful World of Disney Food by Marcy Carriker Smothers, Disney Editions (2017), but I don't own the book, so I've added it to the article in a Further reading section.
- I believe that this is enough to demonstrate notability. -- Toughpigs (talk) 05:29, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for providing these sources Toughpigs. It looks like my local library has a few of these books; I may have time over the weekend to stop in and skim through them.

Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ENT. Of the references currently in the article, #1 is a fairly substantial profile by The Canadian (agoracosmopolitan.com), a website which features (a) wild conspiracy theorising on UFOs and aliens, 9/11 trutherism, HIV/AIDS, vaccines, autism, esoteric religions, politics, etc., and (b) articles on transgender issues, sexuality, and sex work. (Check out this archived front page, selected at random:[3]) I am aware that reliability depends on context and that a source may be reliable for some topics and not others, but am inclined to think that the website as a whole lacks responsible editorial oversight. I've just realised that that profile is largely plagiarised from Wikipedia: compare [4] (published in March 2007) with the WP article in February 2007.
The other references are primary sources such as interviews, self-published content, databases, and award rosters; please note that porn industry awards no longer count towards anything now that PORNBIO has been deprecated. I looked for additional sources and found only tabloid coverage and listicle blurbs. Cheers, gnu57 21:13, 20 February 2020 (UTC) Updated 22:25, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

- comment Two AVN Awards, induction in AVN Hall of Fame, and Tranny Award for lifetime achievement is more than sufficient to establish notability. Policy based arguement: the award section makes the subject pass WP:ANYBIO. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:28, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia policy and guidelines say no such thing. Porn awards no longer count toward notability now that WP:PORNBIO has been deprecated, and notability claims per WP:BASIC, WP:ENT or WP:ANYBIO must be attributable to independent reliable sources. Winning porn awards rarely satisfy that requirement. A quick look at the article shows that most of the sources are junk, as the nominator states. • Gene93k (talk) 23:10, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been added to the WikiProject Pornography list of deletions. • Gene93k (talk) 23:01, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Gene93k and The Drover's Wife: WP:ANYBIO states:
The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times.
Two notable porn industry awards makes the subject pass first requirement. One hall of fame induction from same notable organisation, and one "lifetime achievement" award from another notable awards makes the subject "sort of" pass the second requirement. I am not sure what non-porn industry award can be won by a pornstar, but certainly not Turing award. If one is expecting a noble or Turing for a pornstar, then yes, the subject fails notability. We absolutely shouldn't use WP:COMMONSENSE because the subject hasnt won Turing award. —usernamekiran (talk) 02:32, 22 February 2020 (UTC)- The problem with this argument is that there was explicit acknowledgement in guidelines that these awards constituted notability and then that consensus was explicitly revoked in an RfC. It's hard not to conclude that a consensus that those awards don't constitute notability in their own guideline as also meaning that there's consensus that they don't constitute general notability as "a well-known and significant award or honor" either, since that would defeat the purpose of the RfC in the first place. I'm conflicted in these cases: I think quite a few of these people, if you did an objective assessment (say, if you were going to create your own publication), probably notable, but reliable third-party source coverage of pornography-related topics is as a whole so abysmal that reliable source coverage just doesn't exist here. If the most we can say about them is that they won a porn award, cited to the awards site, and we can't find anything else about them in reliable sources apart from a handful of random facts usually also cited to questionable source, I think I lean to the position that they probably shouldn't have articles. The Drover's Wife (talk) 02:56, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Gene93k and The Drover's Wife: WP:ANYBIO states:
- Achievement for WP:ANYBIO or WP:ENT requires acknowledgment from an independent and credible source. Winning a porn award generally does not get the performer significant coverage from independent reliable sources. That's why PORNBIO was deprecated in March 2019 and why every appeal to ANYBIO since then has failed at AfD. Even the "Oscars of Porn" gets independent RS coverage mainly for the AVN Expo. That coverage generally does not cover award winners. As for the Turing Award, the award and its winners generally get RS coverage, as a cursory GNews search will show. Commercial industry awards, porn or mainstream, are generally industry self-promotion. There are a rare few that get independent RS coverage as achievements. Porn industry awards are not among those few. • Gene93k (talk) 03:06, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- I think that's a bit of a troubling rationale for these choices, because there are plenty of fields in which absolutely significant awards aren't exciting that they'll get substantial media coverage, and I would be vehemently resistant if someone tried applying that logic on those articles. I feel like a better differentiation is that usually those people still have WP:RSs of some sort about them, and the award is a good sign of their particular significance; the same might well have been true here except that the general sourcing is utterly absent. The Drover's Wife (talk) 03:55, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Gene93k and The Drover's Wife: thanks for your input guys. You see, you've presented my exact thougts. People from the porn industry rarely get attention of mainstream media. After deprecation of PORNBIO, there were many AfDs of pornstars. But I didnt comment there. However, this subject has won two awards for performances. I agree its not a big deal, and we can overlook that (per the arguments in deprecation of PORNBIO). But hall of fame induction, and lifetime achievement (from different organisations) is a big deal. If it was just one of them, I dont know, but two does establish notability. This is the general reason why we have SNGs in first place. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- A quick count shows that 15 members of the AVN Hall of Fame have been deleted from Wikipedia since PORNBIO was deprecated, and one, Janet Jacme, was deleted shortly before PORNBIO was deprecated. After 13 years of PORNBIO, the new consensus is that porn industry honors are not enough to excuse subjects from needing good references, despite the systemic bias. • Gene93k (talk) 23:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. There are enough claims to notability that its plausible sufficient coverage in reliable sources exists if someone had access to the right sources, but a thorough online search turned up precisely nada. The Drover's Wife (talk) 00:07, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: does not meet WP:ENT / WP:BASIC. Adult industry awards no longer count towards notability. --K.e.coffman (talk) 05:39, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Interesting subject, but there's not enough to satisfy WP:BASIC nor is there sufficient evidence of passing WP:ENT. While the publisher of the Agora Cosmopolitan article cited meets the WP:RS standard, the article sources too much of its content from the subject to be considered independent. It's more than most porn bios get, but that's not enough to establish notability. Other coverage, cited in the article or found in independent searching, is pretty much what the nominator states. • Gene93k (talk) 04:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- A major chunk of the Agora Cosmopolitan article was copied directly from Wikipedia: for instance, the line
Vaniitys' appearance is extremely feminine and even her voice is feminine(which is natural), She claims not to have had any femininity surgeries.

- Delete Patrick and McCarran. "Nevada Place Names" says that Patrick was a "non-agency station" on the SP RR and that Patrick is "at the McCarran Ranch". Carlson's references are David Myrick, who wrote about railroads, a Southern Pacific timetable and p. 297 of "Our Nevada," (1940) by Effie Mona Mack. I don't have access to these references, but two of them are railroad-specific. I found no evidence that Patrick was every anything more than a station and as it is non-notable, WP:STATION applies to Patrick. The McCarran Ranch is part of a Nature Conservancy site. BTW - McCarran common name around Reno, the main ring road is McCarran Blvd. and there is McCarran International Airport, all presumably honoring Pat McCarran, the son of the founder of the ranch. I agree that the satellite images show very little current activity. My newspapers.com account expired, so I can't check there. "Nevada Post Offices", (Gannett and Paher) do not list a Post Office at Patrick or McCarran, the nearest Post Office seems to be Tracy Clark Rural Branch Post Office (historical), which is about three miles east of Patrick. "Nevada Place Names" has no entry for McCarran. Cxbrx (talk) 21:04, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

- Feminist, these are reliable source, some of the top media companies in the country. i have used some international media sources also. so, there is no doubt regarding the reliability. football culture might be weak in the country, but not in West Bengal, or specifically Kolkata.

This list no longer has any utility. The series previously had somewhere between 600-1000 character articles. It now has 20. There are also around 20 character lists, so this is not a necessary navigational list. Autobot can hold a small list of blue links if that's actually necessary. This is just a barebones list of names, and even that is useless because most of these characters have two to three different versions due to most of these series being completely different continuities only sharing some core character concepts.

- Keep - Not all the character lists include affiliation information (see: List of Transformers comics characters). The number of blue links in the list isn't important - the topic of Autobots is notable, therefore not all members on the list of Autobots need to be notable. The reason there are a lot of circular links is because many deletion discussions ended as "merge to List of Autobots" and is not in itself a valid reason to delete the list. The idea that it's of no purpose to non-fans isn't a valid reason to delete either - it's a tautology that readers only have an interest in articles on subjects they're interested in.

- I'm not saying we should list every Transformer, but it feels kind of artificial to limit the listing to those who appeared on the TV show, as I haven't seen any mention of the TV show being some authority over Transformers, especially since the comic book predated it.

- Best you don't assume what I do or do not know about TFs. There is a page about TFs that links to a dedicated TFwiki for the detail. There doesn't seem to be a notable/valid reason put forward as yet for listing every TF.Halbared (talk) 09:46, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

- I want to restate that we are not Wikia, the information is useless to new readers and fans alike if the content can not be properly presented from an outside point of view (WP:INUNIVERSE). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:47, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- Because Transformers is much more than a TV series. It's a toy line first, a comic book second, and a TV series third. Contrary to what you might think, the TV series is not everything Transformers ever was. JIP | Talk 08:35, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep (extremely weakly) or worst-case Merge to one of the List of Transformers, if I have to pick one, let's say List of The Transformers (TV series) characters. Ideally, I'd rather say, Hold in a holding cell, but I don't know if that applies to AfDs or if that is exclusive to WP:TFD/H.
First let me say that I don't think this list is truly necessary. However, my reservations on deleting it are rooted in a pretty big overall procedural concern, and not one regarding the content (or potential content) of the list.
Checking the Talk page, at least 11 articles have gone to AfD and there was consensus to merge them into this list. I presume that there were also some that ended in a "Redirect" consensus as well, but I am not going to dig into that information to search for a number. Let's just go with "11+". 11+ articles were discussed through AfD alone, and the consensus among those discussions was that those particular articles did not merit a standalone article, but they were notable enough that outright deletion was not an acceptable solution, so a merge was to be done. I understand that WP:CCC, but I believe that would apply more to follow-on AfD nominations for specific articles. For a scenario such as this, we should at least WP:PRESERVE the data until a point at which someone can safely say WP:DON'T PRESERVE. In my mind, it is VERY IMPORTANT to proceed carefully to reach that point. If this list is deleted, all of those Merge and Redirect articles are going to be automatically deleted along with this list via WP:G8. That is unacceptable. With the preserved data of those articles gone, a new target cannot be established easily. What is the point of Wikipedia operating on consensus-based policies if it cannot uphold the consensus?
In order to safely say WP:DON'T PRESERVE I think at least those 11 articles should be evaluated for a suitable new merge location and retargeted before this list is deleted, or they can all go to RfD to get a new consensus there before this list is deleted. Ideally, that would really be done for all the AfD's that resulted in a Redirect, but that may be a little much to overcome. Regards, 2pou (talk) 00:26, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- It's not like the existing redirects can't just be re-targeted now or when the AfD is done so long as it's noted for the closer. They'd be better placed in one of the lists with actual content anyway. And if there's currently no list for them, one can be made on whatever piece of media features them. TTN (talk) 00:31, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- No arguments there; I was mainly just suggesting that 11+ evaluations might be better served outside any 7-day high-stress, high-pressure (IMO) timelines that AfD generates amid people lives outside editing. If a note to closure works, that is fine too; I have just not seen that before. -2pou (talk) 17:22, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete At this point, nearly every major iteration of the franchise already has coverage of their major characters, either as a separate list as shown at Lists of Transformers characters, or on the main article for the respective show/comic/etc. A massive list covering every Autobot, regardless of their notability, from a multitude of series, continuities, and timelines is not a useful way to present information that is already better presented elsewhere, and runs a bit afoul of being WP:INDISCRIMINATE.

- Delete - Even if the usage of D&D monsters in other publisher's books, such as Paizo, could be considered independent (which I, personally, don't think they are, as they were being used under Wizard's Open Gaming License), they are still not actual coverage about the creature that would denote notability. They are simply in-universe usages of the creature within the game. Outside of game books, the only coverage this creature gets are a few brief mentions in "top ten" style fluff pieces, which are not sufficient to pass the WP:GNG. Likewise, the dearth of coverage would indicate that this particular version of the creature is not notable enough to be mentioned on the article on the mythological creature, so merging is not necessary. Rorshacma (talk) 19:09, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep or, failing that, merge and redirect: The Monsters Know What They're Doing has four pages on the lamia, including - aside from the game-use analysis that book always provides - quite a bit about creative origin and typisation. There is the extensive ENworld article cited in the article, and it seems Rorshacma found a few minor mentions. Of Dice and Men also mentions it in a humorous context, but only quotes the description from a primary source. So there are secondary sources. If these are not deemed enough for keeping its own article, it should be merged and redirected e.g. to List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters or the lamia article, because loosing the information present has no benefits, while those articles are lacking that information. Daranios (talk) 20:22, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

It has been tagged as autobiography and primary sources, since October 2019. On the Talk Kstone999 said "It looks like a WP:BLP1E case of WP:LOWPROFILE and appears as a WP:RESUME that simply outlines his professional history without any significant coverage" It was edited a lot by Caliwing, aka Indidea, confirmed promotional sockpuppets. (Sockpuppet Investigations) Most sources are either self-published, primary (indidea.org, and e.foundation), about a few projects he was involved with, interviews of other people, short mentions (e.g. of his firing from Mandriva), or not reliable (i.e. TGDaily).

- Keep. Coverage is sufficient to be considered significant per the GNG. Note articles such as this one in Le Monde, a French newspaper of record which is about him exclusively. He is particularly notable within France and the French press
[10], [11], etc. Yes, most English language media talk about him in reference to his software contributions, but this isn't an Anglocentric encyclopedia. The French coverage plus all the other coverage combined, considering his significant impact in the industry, should be enough for a decent notability claim.

Products are not "events", and in any case, Duval developed two notable products, not one. Duval is also not a low-profile individual, as he has given interviews to notable publications including The Register (RSP entry) and BGR (Boy Genius Report), in addition to all of the news coverage cited in the Mandriva Linux and /e/ (operating system) articles that include Duval's name. — Newslinger talk 14:12, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

- Re: Numerama. In a different context, I believe you'd agree the site is a click bait, team-blog site, masquerading as a news site (i.e. non-reliable). [12] (though it does list an editor in chief). There was non-consensus on reliability in previous discussion.[13] Did you see the Vroom section at Numerama (similar to cars.com)?
- Re: "two notable projects". The French wikipedia article on Mandriva[14] gives equal credit to Frédéric Bastok et Jacques Le Marois as well, for Mandrake business. This is confirmed by the Le Monde article. So, it does support some change to the english Mandriva articles (which should probably be merged), but that's only one and a fraction projects. In fairness, there's also Ulteo and Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop - two more Duval-involved articles for one more project advertised on Wikipedia, but they also have marginal sourcing, should be merged, and at least one was also self-edited.
- Re Mandriva Linux sources. Those sources are almost entirely after 2006 after Duval was fired.
- As said earlier, I believe the Le Monde article being discussed here is of blog quality, with less editorial oversight than other articles. The following, to me, is an indicator. The Le Monde article [15] author's (Bastien Lion) contributions are listed under the following
- https://www.lemonde.fr/signataires/bastien-lion/
- Note the URL difference in the following list of articles:
- https://www.lemonde.fr/signataires/pixels/
- Taking an example from that list, regarding Zuckerberg [16], Note that it is authored, "Par Pixels". This indicates to me it is considered more a publication of Le Monde. Other "Pixels" articles are attributed to individual authors, and it looks like this is consistent with less editorial oversight. Last, while it gives some personal detail, it's mostly about the projects, not the person, IMO. -- Yae4 (talk) 20:48, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

I lack the Japanese or anime fandom skills to perform a proper search for sources
says it all: our latest Signpost report states that,There have been many articles on notable topics deleted here simply because we didn't have access to the sources in Japan. The deletion process here is extremely biased against non-English sources and topics. If it hasn't been discussed in an English-language source, there are a fair number of editors who have to be reminded that sources are not required to be in English, and that it is much more difficult to get sources from a country where there has been less effort at getting older sources online

This is not true in this case, since it lists only their discography and related stuff. When only the discography is listed on Allmusic, I think they are on the same level as databases like Rate Your Music, Sputnik Music, Spirit of Metal etc. Prove me wrong, this is just what I heard.

- It is recommended to Keep this article given that AllMusic.com cannot guarantee that any artist will have biographical data available and as such no metric exists. Given this uncertainty, it would be logically flawed to allow articles with bio data to remain while deleting others. Given that Allmusic.com is considered a primary source caution should be exercised and error should be on the side of caution instead of deleting this article.

- Comment: Sir, the Benin royal family is in Nigeria, not the country of Benin. Mr. Iyamu is clearly notable as a member of a historic royal family. His presence is very well-known in Nigeria, and no Nigerian in his right mind would ever want to delete an article of a royal family member who with a notable career abroad, unless he has some hidden agenda against him.

- We don't keep unsourced crap in the hopes that it can be fixed later. Read WP:BLP and WP:V. Praxidicae (talk) 20:35, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: First of all, it is highly inappropriate to refer to a person of Benin royal descent as cr*p. That can get you into very serious trouble for lèse-majesté in some parts of the world. The Edo people had traditionally considered the Oba of Benin to be divine and held his family in very high esteem. Today, Edo people of royal extraction contribute to Nigerian and global societies in many ways as statesmen, educators, role models for our communities and defenders of our cultures.
- We don't keep unsourced crap in the hopes that it can be fixed later. Read WP:BLP and WP:V. Praxidicae (talk) 20:35, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- This is deeply offensive to us Nigerians and reminds us of the time when Donald Trump used a very vulgar word to refer to Africa. Furthermore, your careless remarks bring to mind the Punitive Benin Expedition of 1897, when the British desecrated our royal families and plundered our Benin Bronzes. They tried to put an end to our centuries-old Kingdom of Benin, but we persisted and today have good relations with the British. But we are still hurting from the way oyibos (foreigners) have treated us. Please mind your words and bear our troubled history in mind.
- Finally, I am not angry at you. I extend a warm handshake to you and all of the Wikipedians as a friend and brother. Should you ever want to get to know more about us, I will cordially invite you to the modern-day Kingdom of Benin, one of the richest, most fascinating and most enduring cultures in all of Africa. Graygraphiticus (talk) 10:13, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
Strong and speedy keep: I randomly came across this while curating articles on Edo history and just had to comment. I do not know what Praxidicae is talking about when he says fake sources and unsourced. WP:BLP and WP:V are very clearly satisfied here, with Thompson Iyamu being featured in multiple major Nigerian newspapers. Ask any Nigerian about these newspapers and he or she can confirm that these are major legitimate newspapers which everyone in Nigeria knows about. In Nigeria, they are the equivalents of The New York Post and The Telegraph. One of them is in fact almost 100 years old. These Nigerian newspapers are all covered on Wikipedia.
- Daily Times of Nigeria, founded in 1925
- The Punch, founded in 1971
- Guardian, founded in 1983
- Vanguard, founded in 1983
- Independent
These are reliable sources that have dedicated entire articles for featuring Thompson Iyamu.
Here is the template of major Nigerian newspapers in case you are still not convinced:
So let me clarify a few more things. I was browsing and editing through many articles of Edo history and prominent Edo people when I suddenly came upon this article by chance. I don't know who wrote this and how this all started, but as a Nigerian of Edo heritage who actually knows about Edo (Benin) society, I just have to point out that any Nigerian will be able to tell you that this article should clearly not be deleted. Besides being known from his music career in the UK, Thompson Iyamu is from the prominent Akenzua family of Southern Nigeria, which is a historicaly important family that Nigerians from that area all know about.
- So even though I don't personally know this family, any Nigerian from that part of Nigeria who is well grounded in Edo history is going to know about Akenzua II and his family. To my dismay, none of the voters here know anything about Nigerian families, Nigerian culture, or Nigerian media sources. Some of the opinions and claims here are blatantly incorrect.
We all know too well that the blatant systematic bias on Wikipedia (WP:WORLDVIEW) allows for topics in developed countries to thrive on Wikipedia, while African topics are not only underrepresented, but also often unfairly treated and purged due to all sorts of arbitrarily interpreted policies that often do not fit well into the African context. While Royal British and Scandinavian family members with notable careers in the arts have a very easy time, the fact that African royal family members with notable careers in the arts are harassed like this points to a deep systematic bias that the Wikipedia community seriously needs to address.
Have you ever wondered why the current members of the British royal family are not being similarly harassed on Wikipedia? Because of WP:BIAS. The Wikipedia community at large is predominantly non-African and has very little knowledge of how to properly select and curate encyclopedia articles that would be useful to Africans. Every month, notable Africans who have made invaluable contributions to society are deleted, while fake pastors, fraudulent businessmen and corrupt politicians of no obvious notability are allowed to thrive.
And royal family member or not, this is a musician and actor who clearly belongs in an online reference work, like Thompson's relative Peju Layiwola, also of the well-known Akenzua family. Touring with Weird MC, appearing in many notable films, and other films, he is also notable abroad. Back home, any Nigerian you meet in Benin City will tell you that this person is clearly not a nobody who should not be on an encyclopedia.
If there are any inadequecies, I will volunteer my time to improve the article's content and citations.
I am only giving my honest opinion here. I hope you will all think twice before saying that this article deserves to be deleted.
So keep this my brothers. Let's contribute to the encyclopedia, build our community and help the world with free, useful knowledge. Graygraphiticus (talk) 10:13, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN. Lawrence Alamain was well known as a controversial villain on Days of Our Lives; the character raped a woman, and then (as happens sometimes in soap operas) became more popular following the assault. There are many contemporary newspaper stories about the character, including:
- "'Days' Star Appalled at Reaction to Rapist Character" by Lydia Hirsch, Orlando Sun-Sentinel (Nov 28, 1991)
- "Michael Sabatino: He's So Bad He's Good" by John M. Goudas, Tulsa World (May 5, 1991)
- "Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know: Michael Sabatino enjoys playing villains like Lawrence Alamain" by Nancy M. Reichardt for United Feature Syndicate (Feb 10, 1991)
- "Michael Sabatino Enjoying Bad-Boy Role on 'Days'" by Nancy M. Reihardt for Newspaper Enterprise Associate (NEA) (Jan 9, 1991)
- "'Days of Our Lives' villain uses new tactic on prime-time special" by Donna Gable for Gannett News Service (Jan 10, 1992)
- The character has also been analyzed in an academic work, Trash Culture: Popular Culture and the Great Tradition by Richard Keller Simon (University of California Press, 1999). "This is The White Devil in modern dress. Alamain is a brilliant combination of the murderous and powerful duke and the mocking and cynical malcontent, and Kimberly is a new version of the prostitute Vittoria who plays a dangerous game with him. Like the duke, Alamain kills almost casually and is vulnerable to the charms of a prostitute."
- There's also coverage in the academic work Her Stories: Daytime Soap Opera and US Television History by Elana Levine (Duke University Press, 2020): "Days of Our Lives creative heads were told by NBC that stories of violence against women resulted in increased ratings, logic that contributed to the tale of ingenue Jennifer Horton's rape by Lawrence Alamain."
- I think that's enough to show notability. I'll add these to the article in a "Further reading" section so that people who want to improve the article can use these sources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 02:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

- WP:IMPATIENT says that an article shouldn't be deleted just because it hasn't been improved over a specific period of time: "The article shouldn't be deleted for its current status only because no one has improved it yet. Such deletion would prevent editors from improving it in the future." To establish notability, it's enough that reliable sources exist (WP:NEXIST) that could be used to improve the article.

- Articles also shouldn't be created before such a time where they can stand on their own. No rush works both ways. That argument only works for a topic that has no parent article structure because it would thus be completely removed from this site, which would be a negative to the encyclopedia. It does not work for fictional items that can be easily covered in their parent topic until such a time they can be split, or it can allow for the organization of information in such a way that it doesn't need to be split.

This article about a mixed-use development fails WP:NGEO. Many of the references read like press releases and therefore, in my opinion, they should not be considered independent of the subject.

Promotional and borderline non-notable The combination of borderline notability and clear promotionalism is a reason for deletion
With respect to notability , most of the references are either articles about the general problem, or essentially press releases, or mere notices. . The NYT article mention this firm among others, as does CNN & the WSJ--they do not amount to significant coverage. The Forbes article is by a "contributor"--a press release they taken o responsibility for. The awards are minor, and not of general significance. As for promotionalism : most of the article is advocacy about the need for an organization such as this one, all throughout the article, & particularly in section 2. The article gives promotional features of the company's plan, addressed only to prospective users, ( " all employees are eligible from day one") It's written in a manner appropriate to a web page, ("financial wellness" ; "responsible and sustainable man". The company name is used over 20 times in the short article. .
Normally on seeing such an article I'd move it into draft space. But it already was in draft space, and the author moved it into main space themself, thus defeating the the purpose of having the article reviewed. I should note that the ed. is not usually a promotional editor, but works competently on reasonable subjects in the field of entertainment; I cannot account for this exception.

This is nuts. As for the sources, The New York times dedicates three sentences to PayActiv, the LA Times about 15% of their article. Its not much better for the other ones.

- Delete - The article consists largely of marketing buzzspeak, probably introduced by the paid editor. If the buzzspeak is deleted, not much is left, probably not enough to establish corporate notability. My advice to the paid editor is my usual advice to paid editors, which is that if all of the promotional content that they are paid to put in an article is really removed, there will be little remaining value to the article, so that it is a better expense of corporate money to improve their own web site, which is not edited by neutral volunteers.

- Delete I've cleaned it up and found a couple of sources, but not nearly enough to establish notability. As Sabbatino, says, they are basically announcements of performances—no reviews or even background stories. At most, a brief mention could be made in the legacy section of Chiune Sugihara (the opera's protagonist). I'm not sure, its worth draftiying unless there is a significant chance of finding further sources which could establish notability. I sincerely doubt it. Incidentally, there have been two other earlier operas based on Chiune Sugihara, an equally non-notable one in English called Incident in Lithuania (2006) [17] and a somewhat more notable one composed by Toshi Ichiyanagi (2006) [18]. There was also the musical Sempo, composed by Miyuki Nakajima (2008) [19].

There used to an industrial spur from Forrest, Arizona to this place, but in spite of an array of black squares on old enough topos which look like a town, aerials show that this was always and only some sort of industrial concern (a lime plant, various references tell me), and not a settlement. There is some reference to the place in historic discussion of the rail line (the plant was the last customer on the line) but I'm not seeing that as giving notability.

- Redirect to Forrest, Arizona where I added a mention. It is not clear where the "200 families" mentioned there lived, whether in Forrest itself or along the spur, so it could have been considered a discrete populated place. An article on the lime plant can always be split from there in the future. Note that this shows Forrest and Paul Spur were distinct unincorporated communities.----Pontificalibus 15:18, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep as a quick Google search shows ample RS and proves its notability. See no reason why it fails GNG. New sources can always be found and we shouldn't judge the article only based on the sources it includes and improvements can always be made. Most important is the notability of the subject. Therefore keep but the article needs rewriting. The sources: [20][21][22][23][24]. Just a minor search and I found loads of sources.

- Neutral:
*Keep:At a rough glance nom. has swamped WP:AfD with a shedload of AFD's that should have been at best bundled; or perhaps a test case for one regional branch that could have been spread to the others. This is the central organisation which should have been kept in any event. This may even qualify for a speedy keep. Its easier for me being more familiar with UK politics to see how organisations related to political associations are treated ... in general these are often retained but I wouldn't expect the local branches to be retained, situation for semi-automonous regions might be different. In passing I note the BJP's BJP Mahila Morcha has slipped the net and been deleted with minimal participation.

- Comment User:Tayi Arajakate and Cwmhiraeth, and all others, can you guys be so kind enough to share what sources are you using to vote a keep on this ? I have reviewed the sources by WikiAviator and none of them are passing WP:ORGCRIT. I have reviewed several of these articles since they were nominated en masse and it is clear to me that they are political spam created for WP:PROMO reasons of Indian National Congress party. IMHO almost all of them merit a deletion for lacking any worthwhile content (saying "almost all" since I am yet to review all of them) --DBigXrayᗙ 16:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I will do a deeper research on this later but right now I found [25] after a short search. I believe this is notable enough to have its own article, being the women's wing of a major Indian party. Putting a comment to bookmark this AfD for later. I remember vaguely that Sucheta Kripalani founded this sometime before the Quit India movement. That would make this a 75+ years old organisation and it is highly improbably there will be no description of this over so many years.--DreamLinker (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

- Comment @DBigXray: Replying to your inquiry on presenting sources that verify the notability of the article, here are sources that can establish the notability of the subject:[27][28][29][30][31][32][33] None of these are promotional or trivial coverage. These are whole articles that clearly verify the notability of the subject of the article. I don't see why this article does not comply with notability guidelines.

- Hi there. (1) Please confirm that you have read and understood Wikipedia:ORGDEPTH. (2) regarding the AfD source. Please do not repeat the links that you have already presented in your previous comments, doing so shows you in bad light, as it appears as though you are trying to pass 1 source as 2. --DBigXrayᗙ 12:51, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- @DBigXray: Foremost, I clearly understand WP:ORGDEPTH and I think that the sources pass the criteria. Moreover, I am too busy (in real life) to check which sources have been mentioned before. I am in no means trying to pass one source as two, I simply didn't check. If this has confused you, then i sincerely apologize. Also, please do not jump the gun right away and assume I am in bad light. This makes people feel offended and please learn how to assume good faith (WP:AGF). Thanks for your understanding:) WikiAviator (talk) 13:36, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- WikiAviator, fine. I will respond at afd. I gave u the chance to correct. DBigXrayᗙ 14:21, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- First, I don't think my sources are unreliable or trivial coverage and it is pretty clear that most of them can verify the notability of the subject. And here's when things go funny, he said that I "am in bad light" for repeating the sources. But sorry it's your own problem. I am not trying to pass one source as two. I repeated them because I didn't care to check before posting and it seems that you have ignored the sources above, so I reposted them. Can't see the sources? No worries, I am happy to repeat for blind bats (I didn't say it's you, judge it yourself). Let's look at the sources one by one:
- [1],[7] Look at the headline, what does it say: All India Mahila Congress stages 'Dharna' outside (...). It is talking about the political activities of the· organisation. Isn't it about the org itself? Of course activities count. If you need a detailed history about an org in order to list it on Wikipedia, then I'm sure even companies listed on S&P 500 will be deleted, and Wikipedia will shrink by 20%. Where on earth does ORGDEPTH mention that activities can't be counted as sources? What's your logic? Stop slurring things into a big lump and repeat the same invalid argument over and over again instead of going into the core of the problem.
- [3],[8] In the article: "The Congress is on the verge of drawing blank again in the Assembly polls as all its candidates were way far behind their AAP and BJP opponents on all the 70 seats. In the 2015 Assembly elections too, Congress failed to win any seat." Are you sure this is not coverage of the org?
- [9] In the article:"The All India Mahila Congress (AIMC) leaders also staged a protest against LPG price hike outside the Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry office in Delhi on Thursday. The INC spokesperson Sushmita Dev and the Congress leader Alka Lamba led a rally with other members against the rise in prices of non-subsidised 14 kg Indane gas in metros which came into effect on Wednesday." Are you sure this is "one-line" and trivial? Can you read properly?
- [2],[10] Are you only reading the headlines? Did you read the whole thing or are you just trying to make my sources sound bad? The argument or the leader, who is on behalf of the party's campaign, sparked nation-wide controversy, WP:ORGDEPTH:coverage of purely local events, incidents, controversies (see also #Audience below), and WP:ORGDEPTH#Audience: The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary. As stated, this is not local coverage if we look at these guidelines.
- [4],[11] For this one, sorry, this time I was in a rush. You're correct.
- [5],[12] Thanks for helping me write my reply. Yes, it is exactly "news about a "planned" event covered in [7]". Planned events count as well. No one said this was forbidden.
- [13] No one said that replies don't count. And this is not one-line coverage.
- You see what's happening now, don't you? He's trying to defame my AfD reputation and trying to ban every source I list on every AfD discussion. Who are you "to give me a chance to correct"? I don't think I'm wrong. It is you who cannot analyse sources properly and then saying people are repeating?! This is absolutely bonkers. Please stop that. Thanks a lot.

- Merge and Redirect to Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game
- Per WP:BEFORE C.4, the nominator is to consider merging and redirection if an appropriate target exists. Per the cornerstone editing policy WP:PRESERVE, it is preferable to preserve than to delete sourced content. While it might be possible to bring this article to GNG standards using additional sources, the lasting encyclopedic interest is more likely to be in the major cultural product of the company, the highly influential Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game, than in the defunct company itself. Therefore the Nom should, per policy, have proposed this merger but neglected to do so. This will be the most appropriate close. Newimpartial (talk) 19:10, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hmmm. I'd agree with redirecting, but the sources for Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game aren't impressive: dicelessbydesign.com, drivethrurpg.com, kickstarter.com, rpg.drivethrustuff.com, sjgames.com, therpgsite.com. Vexations (talk) 16:18, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- Merge Maybe it would be possible to merge into the Erick Wujcik article if the Diceless Roleplaying Game article doesn't work for some reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamant1 (talk • contribs)
- Good point, Vexations. I'll nominate Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game for deletion after this closes if no one else has done so by then. Chetsford (talk) 05:40, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- User:Vexations, while I would be happy to add sources to the Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game article, it already has reviews in Pyramid (a Reliable Source magazine independent of Phage Press)[1][2] and in the independently published book Hobby Games: the 100 Best.[3] Therefore, there is no risk of the reliably sourced Phage Press information being lost in a Merge to Amber Diceless. Newimpartial (talk) 14:18, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Newimpartial, I think it would be best if you want to make sure that Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game is a good target for a Phage Press redirect, that you add all the reliable sources you can find. I'm not sure that t we have any reliably sourced Phage Press information: There are four sources: Appelcline, which I don't have acccess to (the nearest library with a copy is 400 miles away), but I notice it has been used in more than 20 other articles [0&offset=0&ns0=1&search=insource%3A"first%3D+Shannon|last%3D+Appelcline"&advancedSearch-current={}]. The others though, I'm not convinced: Wujcik, is published by the subject, "Guardians Of Order's New Year's Message" is a dead link and then Phage's own website. Vexations (talk) 15:01, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Appelcline is also available online at various storefronts, but in any event, the RSN discussion showing its reliability is here. Pyramid (magazine) was a print magazine in the period of numbered issues 2 and 6 when these reviews appeared; it was published by Steve Jackson Games with a professional editorial staff (led by Derek Pearcey and Scott Marsh for the issues in question) and was entirely independent of Phage Press and Amber. Hobby Games: The 100 Best is also a clearly independent and reliable source, published by Green Ronin and authored by Nicole Lindroos, neither of whom were connected in any way to Amber. As documented in the article, Amber Diceless was also reviewed in Dragon, Challenge, White Wolf and Shadis, all of which are RS independent of Phage Press and Amber. NBOOK and the GNG are therefore clearly met (eight independent RS) for the proposed target article, Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game, without adding further sources. Newimpartial (talk) 16:02, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Newimpartial, I was talking about sources used in Phage Press, you seem to be talking about Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game. If you have sources, please add them to the relevant article. I'm willing to assume, in good faith, that Applecline is a reliable source. That's one reliable source for this article. Vexations (talk) 17:11, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- But for a Merge !vote per PRESERVE, which I am making and which this thread is discussing, the number of RS for the article being merged is irrelevant to the decision to Merge, per policy. Even if the only sourced content on Phage Press consisted of SPS, which it does not, a Merge would still be the most appropriate close per BEFORE C.4 and PRESERVE, so long as a Notable and appropriate target is found for the Merge, The Notability of an Article's subject is only relevant at AfD to its standing as a separate article (keep vs. Delete), not to its being merged and discussed in another article.

- User:Vexations, while I would be happy to add sources to the Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game article, it already has reviews in Pyramid (a Reliable Source magazine independent of Phage Press)[1][2] and in the independently published book Hobby Games: the 100 Best.[3] Therefore, there is no risk of the reliably sourced Phage Press information being lost in a Merge to Amber Diceless. Newimpartial (talk) 14:18, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hmmm. I'd agree with redirecting, but the sources for Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game aren't impressive: dicelessbydesign.com, drivethrurpg.com, kickstarter.com, rpg.drivethrustuff.com, sjgames.com, therpgsite.com. Vexations (talk) 16:18, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Yet neither sources published by an article's subject, nor sources covered by PRIMARY, count towards Notability for purposes of Keep or Delete !votes at AfD. Newimpartial (talk) 18:28, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know about Hobby Games: the 100 Best specifically, as I don't have access to the book, but generally from what I remember top-lists like "100 best whatever" aren't considered good sources. --Adamant1 (talk) 00:30, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:38, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete There is no basis to Keep this article. Having sources that are WP:RS is only a small part of the criteria for references to establish notability and the references fail, for example, WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH. Topic should be deleted - anything interesting can be put into the Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game article. HighKing++ 17:00, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I wouldn't be against a redirect to Erick Wujcik but I don't see any point in redirecting to the Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game article. HighKing++ 15:24, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per HighKing.4meter4 (talk) 02:30, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- For the closer, please note that neither of the above recent !votes have given consideration to the Merge and Redirect arguments (including PRESERVE). Per policy, then, these are not valid as Delete arguments - they are essentially just anti-Keep arguments and cease to be relevant as soon as a Keeo outcome is ruled out. Newimpartial (talk) 13:54, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- I've addressed your concerns with an additional comment above. I'm against a redirect to Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game and slightly more inclined towards a redirect to Erick Wujcik. HighKing++ 15:24, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- Dear HighKing, I am a bit confused here because according to the article, the company is best known for publishing the Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game and I belive Erick Wujcik has a significant role in the development of the game, not the company. Can you please elaborate if I am missing something? Regards, KartikeyaS343 (talk) 06:13, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- I disagree. I don't believe this company is "best known" for anything so you have to ask where the best fit is for any worthwhile information. Having read the article on Erick Wujcik and taking into consideration that it already contains a good amount of information on the company, I believe a redirect (if one has to happen - personally, I would just delete the article and not do a redirect) is best suited to the founder and author of most everything the company published.

- Comment IMO, all of these MCCs should be merged into the main All India Mahila Congress but I don't think it is productive to do it through AfD, it needs on a single merge discussion (probably on the talk page of the main article). In all likelihood, most of the AfDs are going to be ignored. Tayi Arajakate Talk 04:28, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

- WikiAviator, there is an acute lack of sources meeting WP:ORGDEPTH for both FOO_state_PMCC articles as well as All India Mahila Congress, if you disagree please present sources complying with it on its AfD. DBigXrayᗙ 12:23, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Another non-settlement in Cochise Co., AZ, it was actually... an orchard. Really. It is marked as such on older topos, and aerial views still show traces of crop rows.

- Keep Four pages in an RS published book is not "incidental" in nature. Citation in the second book (based on a research paper about the history of role-playing games) highlights the role of founder of Adept Press for the seminal role in developing indie role-playing games. Would seem to indicate notability. Guinness323 (talk) 18:25, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Guinness323 since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 20:01, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- PRESERVE applies to content within an article, not the existence of the article itself. Our WP:SIGCOV standard is not crested. Chetsford (talk) 20:45, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Ron Edwards (game designer) - PRESERVE does indeed apply to "content within an article", but to be preserved it has to go somewhere. The article on the founder would be the correct location for that content.
Also, there seem to be sour grapes in the nomination, since the terms "promotional" and "incidental" are used by the Nom even though neither term actually applies to this article. The nominator has also misapplied SIGCOV in the above comment, which is below the standard I expect from an Admin, even a relatively "green" one. Perhaps they could strive for more accurate presentation in future. Newimpartial (talk) 16:07, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

- keep I can't see the paper sources coverage, but they are reliable (one I've researched before, the other at least looks quite reliable). The depth of coverage is less clear to me, but it sounds like at least one spans 4 pages. Seems likely to be enough. I'm unclear on how other are claiming the coverage isn't significant. Do those folks have access to these sources? If so, could one of you who say there isn't enough coverage explain what the coverage is (number of pages or paragraphs, topics covered) and explain your !vote a bit better? Thanks! @GoodCrossing: @BonkHindrance: @Chetsford: Hobit (talk) 05:42, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I just read the "Designers & Dragons" reference (Adept is covered in the 00s book) and it certainly looked extremely promising. There is an entire chapter entitled "Adept Press: 2001-Present" which extends from page 131 to 151 - but in reality the book only discusses Edwards and various games in depth, there is no substantive coverage of the company. It is a case really of WP:NOTINHERITED - while Edwards and the games are probably notable, the company fails to meet the criteria. HighKing++ 17:14, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- I'm glad someone read it and reported back. Quick question: what would you be looking for in the coverage of the company other the coverage of its products? It sounds like the author thinks they are covering the relevant contributions of the company. But until I can (re)find a copy, I can't add much more. Thanks again! Hobit (talk) 22:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Apologies if this is overly long - I wish there was a shorter way to explain this - maybe someone else can do a better job. There are a lot of "companies" that people assume are notable because, perhaps, the founders are famous or they have a really well-known product. For example, record labels may publish music from very notable musicians but that doesn't mean that the company (record label) is itself notable. We refer to that as "Inherited" notability, the same way that a celebrity's child might be "famous" but only because of the association with the parent. Or perhaps a famous artist has an exhibition in a gallery - same "inheritance" and doesn't mean the gallery is notable. Those are fairly clear-cut (mostly). But what about, say, a well known tycoon (pick any tech billionaire for example) starts a new company and there is some coverage due to the fame of the tycoon. For these references we need to carefully look at each reference. Many will be churnalism where articles regurgitate the initial Press Releases from the company about their famous founder/investor/etc. We search for in-depth information on the *company*. We look for Independent Content which is defined at WP:ORGIND as follows: Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That sentence is very important. So articles that rely entirely on information provided/supplied/produced by someone associated with the company is not Independent Content.
So back to your question. For me, all the "achievements" of the company (in the book) are attributed to one named person, Edwards. Practically every sentence refers to Edwards, not to the company. So for me, the notability is Edwards. Also, if the products are notable then the products should have an article - doesn't mean that the company is notable for publishing them (same as record label companies, book publishers, etc). HighKing++ 12:34, 22 February 2020 (UTC)- I actually agree with HighKing's analysis here re: Notability. However, the resulting, policy-compliant outcome us then a Merge to the notable topic (Ron Edwards, the principal creative) and a Redirect to the company name, per PRESERVE and BEFORE C.4. Newimpartial (talk) 18:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- I tend to be more conservative on BLPs and for someone who is only notable for a company, I'd rather they redirect to the company than the other way around. And folks often cite BIO1E as a reason for doing so. I'm willing to accept either way, but we clearly have coverage that meets WP:N on this person, and his company's, contributions to the field. We just need to get agrement on where to have the article and where to have the redirect. I'd say that's more of an RfC thing than an AfD thing, but we're here, so maybe this is the right place to finish that. Hobit (talk) 18:27, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- My 2c based on what I've read about both the company and the person is that the company fails notability criteria but the person, Edwards, likely meets the criteria for notability, so therefore it makes more sense to keep Edward's topic. HighKing++ 15:40, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV.

Next stop on the tour of Arizona non-places is this siding. Yes, that's all it is: a siding on a rail line which was abandoned sometime in the 1980s, if one believes the topos. GMaps actually has a good clue: the remains of a pond a bit to the east which it labels "Chiricahua Siding Tank", presumably to supply water back in the steam era. It's obvious there was never a settlement here. Mangoe (talk) 03:45, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Forrest. Forrest had a Post Office. I realize that there are differing opinions about the definition "Populated, legally recognized places" as per WP:GEOLAND. I've been using the definition that if a location had a Post Office, then it was legally recognized. If there is no disagreement about this, then perhaps "Arizona Place Names" could be searched as part of the WP:BEFORE process? I appreciate Mangoe's efforts in cleaning up non-notable places, but I also want to minimize the amount of work. If we don't agree that a Post Office indicate a "Populated, legally recognized place," the we should follow up on Wikipedia_talk:Notability (geographic_features).

- Keep Forrest, Stark, Vanar per Cxbrx. Also keep Manzoro due to notable mine there. Campstone was the station serving Huachuca City, Arizona (source) so should redirect there. I suspect some of the others may have been settlements e.g. Chiricahua but it's difficult to search as some of the words have more common usages.----Pontificalibus 09:50, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

However, it seems that Olga is not a "Populated, legally recognized place" as per WP:GEOLAND #1 - there are no citations for a Post Office or form of local government. I'm seeing [Results_of_Spirit_Leveling_in_Arizona_18 references to Olga Siding], so WP:STATION would apply. WP:GEOLAND #2: "Populated places without legal recognition" says "any of which could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources" I don't think we have found the non-trivial coverage yet for Olga. Perhaps Olga should be deleted? BTW - there is a List of places in Arizona that looks to be a dump of GNIS. The Arizona list is far too long when compared with List of places in California. And while I'm at it, most of the Arizona pages use https://arizona.hometownlocator.com as a source. It looks to me like https://arizona.hometownlocator.com is an aggregator of GNIS and other public data and is not WP:RS. Perhaps https://arizona.hometownlocator.com should be removed as a reference on these articles? Comments anyone? Cxbrx (talk) 02:52, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- What is meant by ”legally recognized” is not clear. I’ve seen claims ranging from “must have its own government” through to “mustn’t be an illegal encampment”. However we tend to keep all named populated places that are more than simply isolated dwellings and not part of some other nearby settlement. This would suggest “legally recognized” means that the name should simply be used by government agencies etc. and has no bearing on the size of the settlement, with “populated place” meaning more than one household. So for example a farmstead named on an official map wouldn’t qualify, nor would a rail siding, but add in multiple houses to either and that is sufficient. As to the sourcing, yes these articles were created in batches relying only on GNIS, so this is part of going through them and deleting those lacking supporting evidence that they ever were populated places. ---Pontificalibus 06:51, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

- Weak Delete Manzoro as per WP:STATION. I'm not able to find a Post Office at Manzoro. For example, 1906 railroad reference has Manzoro in italics, indicating that there was no Post Office at that time. So, I don't think that Manzoro is a "Populated legally recognized place." Pontificalibus' citations and others indicate that Manzoro was a loading point for the mines, but I'm not sure if this is notable enough. If the mines or mining district are notable, then they should have their own pages. Cxbrx (talk) 17:35, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Procedural Keep Given the wide range of notabilities of these articles, a WP:MULTIAFD was inappropriate. Some of these are obviously notable, others obviously non-notable, many in between. There's too much here to analyze in one AfD. I will note, however, that having its own post office is absolutely not necessary to pass WP:NPLACE, though it is sufficient.

Another GNIS-hallucinated "populated place", it's actually a "station" (in this case, a small yard just south of an industrial lead) outside St. David, Arizona which has plainly never been a settlement.

- Redirect. This is the location of the Apache Powder Company. I found several newspaper articles from the 1920s that refer to this company being located in Curtiss, Arizona. The rail stop there went by the same name. No indication that this was a populated place or human settlement. The company is definitely notable, so I just wrote a short article.

- Keep It's a poorly-written article and it's disappointing to see how many editors have boosted their edit count over the last 10 years by tweaking it variously, without making much improvement. I think I've now improved it, by adding a handful of references which appear to show notability (and fixing slanted apostrophes, avoiding "currently", removing inline external links...). Between them the sources I've added probably support much if not all of the text but I don't have the degree of interest to go through and add refs to support each statement.

Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a topic should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a topic should be included.
Only because this TV series was nationally braodcast, doesnt make it automatically notable. Coverage in one reliable source is not significant coverage. We also have to consider current persistent attempts of production companies from India to create wikipedia articles of their TV shows, and actors; during the publicity/marketing campaigns. As per WP:COMMONSENSE, PR, paid news/reviews, WP:ROUTINE coverage is bound to take place.

Was there a previous discussion or clarification of the policy? Again, as I said above, I'm not trying to be argumentative, just trying to find out where this is clearly outlined. The other issue would be is I'm not seeing any official record of these games other than primary mentions in the article. We have no way of confirming (so far) that these were sanctioned by FIFA or if these players were even officially representing their countries. If everyone wants to say any international friendly is enough to pass NFOOTY, fine. But there needs to be some sort of non-primary source to support it. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:41, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Competing in a "competitive international match" is a separate way one can earn notability, aside from competing in a Tier I international match. The guideline is quite clear about that. This means that someone who competes in a CONCACAF Gold Cup match between Martinique and Haiti passes NFOOTY even though Martinique is not a FIFA member and as such it is not a Tier I International Match. However, someone who only competed in a friendly between Martinique and Haiti would NOT pass NFOOTY, as that is not a Tier I International Match, nor is it a competitive international match. As Botswana and Swaziland are both FIFA members, a friendly between them is considered a Tier I International Match under FIFA rules. I don't know how the guideline can be any clearer that all Tier I International Matches count, or why discussion would be required to make sure it says what it clearly says. Smartyllama (talk) 14:45, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Smartyllama, Thanks for clearing that up. That still leaves the issue about a lack of a non-primary source confirming this match in fact happened, that it was sanctioned, and was actually endorsed by the player's mother countries. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:54, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- The Sunday Standard seems to be a major newspaper. I have no concerns about its reliability. There are not going to be many online sources for a match that long ago. This is fine. Smartyllama (talk) 15:52, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Seems pretty likely to meet GNG given that the one source in the article discusses them in significant detail, and regards him so highly decades later. But how does a match against Swaziland meet NFOOTY? ELO rankings do incorporate non-FIFA matches - such as Martinique - but says the first match against Swaziland was not until 1986, after this player apparently retired!

- Smartyllama, What then is the purpose of distinguishing "competitive" international matches in the policy if all international matches count? Was there a previous discussion or clarification of the policy? Again, as I said above, I'm not trying to be argumentative, just trying to find out where this is clearly outlined. The other issue would be is I'm not seeing any official record of these games other than primary mentions in the article.

It might be able to be used as a redirect to The Avengers (1998 film), as the character apparently had a much larger role in the film than the original TV series.

- In principal I don't have an issue with Redirect (I'd oppose Merge out of concern the content here would be UNDUE for a bio of this length, plus I'm going to nominate the BLP for deletion anyway shortly), my only trepidation is that the term is so common that it is unlikely to be the most sought subject for this search.

The result was redirect to Ron Edwards (game designer)#RPGs and supplements. There were some sources found, but it's questionable whether most of them are WP:RS. The redirect seems like a reasonable middle ground, complies with WP:ATD, and preserves the history. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:55, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- Thanks for checking. Agree on Applecline. The other sources appear to be blogs and user review sites. Chetsford (talk) 20:36, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- The Polish website is a professional on-line portal with reviews of various media, and is hard to characterize, since it uses reviews from both paid editorial staff and users. The review chosen for this article is by a staff editor. The two French magazines are exactly that, printed (hardcopy dead tree) magazines. Again, not blogs.Guinness323 (talk) 22:51, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- The review chosen for this article is by a staff editor. That's not how it appears to me. The two French magazines are exactly that, printed (hardcopy dead tree) magazines. The fact that something appears on paper does not make it WP:RS. In any case, Le Maradeur is an ezine. I am unable to identify any method or manner of subscribing or buying an issue and it has no ISSN. Chetsford (talk) 01:15, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Correction The name of the Polish website is Poltergeist (polter.pl), not Locke & Key. I was taken in by a large title-like ad for the upcoming TV series Locke & Key. Duhhh!Guinness323 (talk) 22:55, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Not a big deal, it happens. In a lot of RPG AfDs we find people furiously google the name of the game or game company and then slap up the first things they can find, often having never heard of the blogs before, and then construct an argument as to why it's RS post facto. This is a frequent result of this approach to WP:N analysis, so no worries. Chetsford (talk) 01:15, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Guinness323 since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 11:48, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

as per my prod: this is nothing more than original research, TR isn't an institute, it's a research group and all the sources that even make mention of it are just bylines by the authors, which are self published by the page creator. The rest of the sources make no mention of "turing Research" Praxidicae (talk) 01:46, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Merge a summary paragraph to George Mason University#Science and Technology but delete article per nom. There's no independent articles on this group, although Googling "Turing research" even in quotes brings up tons of articles not related to this group. —МандичкаYO 😜 01:55, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- The London School of Economics article mentions the Turing Group (link: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview/2020/02/17/the-use-of-robots-and-artificial-intelligence-in-war/). They are also mentioned in the following workshop paper, https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.08670. The group also has a LinkedIn page at https://www.linkedin.com/company/turing-research/. It is a funded institute. I'm an avid AI enthusiast, and I thought Wikipedia needs to be updated with more AI groups in the United States. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akumar19 (talk • contribs)
- Based on Wikipedia's definition of a research institute, "A research institute or research center is an establishment founded for doing research. Research institutes may specialize in basic research or may be oriented to applied research". The Turing Research group is an accurate representation of that definition. Therefore, it is an official research institute.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Akumar19 (talk • contribs)
- This article is not an orphan, it is linked from George Mason University#Science and Technology's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akumar19 (talk • contribs)
- All research institutes have to perform original research, among other activities. Turing research has a well-known name in AI and the Washington, DC area (i.e. at the US government).
- Based on the "list of policies and guidelines to cite in deletion debates", the Turing Research page adheres to the following policy/guideline name:
Academics WP:ACADEMIC WP:PROFESSOR Wikipedia:Notability (academics) "Notability requirements for people based on academic achievements" fbatarse
- Akumar19 It would be helpful if you would read the sources you're citing are reliable and give an indication of notability. The first one you cite explicitly says:
This blog post expresses the views of its author(s), not the position of LSE Business Review or the London School of Economics.
and it was clearly by someone with a name remarkably similar to your username. Linkedin is irrelevant, as is the rest. Praxidicae (talk) 20:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Akumar19 It would be helpful if you would read the sources you're citing are reliable and give an indication of notability. The first one you cite explicitly says:
- Praxidicae according to Wikipedia:Notability (academics): "It is very difficult to make clear requirements in terms of number/quality of publications". So the publications by this group are a valid representation of their research activity and national recognition fbatarse
- Please learn how to properly edit AFDs as you're messing up all the responses here including refactoring many of them. Also you can quote that as much as you want fbatarse but it's meaningless without actual sources to back it up. Please go read WP:COI while you're at it.

- Delete. WP:Notability (academics) does not apply to research groups or institutions, and nothing I see in the sources indicates Yang, Batarseh, or TR are notable under any of the criteria (TR would fall under WP:Notability (organizations and companies), but the sources there don't even come close to cutting it as they're almost all written by one of TR's principals and the rest are staff listings). —A little blue Bori v^_^v Onward to 2020 21:04, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: A blog entry is not a reliable source. Is this really the best source that can be found? Akumar19 notes that this article is not an orphan, and points to George Mason University#Science and Technology, that's because just externally linked it there in violation of WP:ELNO and then later changed it to a wikilink, without even citing a reliable source. Wikipedia articles are not a place to publish your own research. I don't see that this meets notability criteria, either. Waggie (talk) 21:08, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

- New users: The thing that can save this article is to provide independent, reliable sources that discuss this group directly and in detail. Not papers authored by its members, not its members' proseless pages at their universities.

- Delete It's not easy for a research group at a university to qualify as wiki-notable, and there is no indication that this is an exception. The WP:PROF notability guideline invoked above is inapplicable, because it's for people, not groups. XOR'easter (talk) 17:03, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment It's possible that this subject could meet our notability guidelines. However, to do so we would need to see a list of their notable accomplishments, viz. has Turning Research produced any results that have been written up in the mainstream media, & clearly are not PR releases? Until that can be provided, any article on TR is doomed to return to WP:Articles for Deletion & be removed from Wikipedia. (A more successful solution might be to add something to the Research section of George Mason University; that article lacks any mention of this unit.) Until those notable successes are provided, all I see that could be written is that TR "specializes in artificial intelligence and data science applications helping to make public policy decisions" -- hardly the basis for a useful article. -- llywrch (talk) 18:07, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- I would have no problem with adding this to the list at George Mason University#Centers and institutes and redirecting there if this name is unambiguous (I think it's quite likely that, given the stature of Alan Turing, other research institutes exist with this name), but do we have any independent reliable sources that do any more than give us the name? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:48, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- And/or an entry at Alan Turing#Posthumous tributes. There are many more appropriate places in Wikipedia for this group than an orphan article. -- llywrch (talk) 19:13, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete and include in the list at George Mason University#Centers and institutes without a redirect. There are various other research groups with similar names, most notably the Alan Turing Institute - if you Google "Turing Research", you come across quite a lot of them before finding this group. As others have said, WP:NORG would apply here rather than WP:NPROF, and the available sourcing I can find does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH standards. GirthSummit (blether) 16:50, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
