The result was redirect to Meteor Crater. Consensus is that it is a real place, but that it is not currently clear if it was ever inhabited. Should more sources surface in the future, the article can be restarted. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 08:06, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Well, this one is a mess, and searching is rendered almost impossible by a game named "Arizona Sunshine" which shows up in results no matter what I do to exclude it. Anyway, the GNIS entry is almost certainly a mistake of some sort: in spite of it supposedly being scraped from a topo map, I see no sign of it at the coordinates given, which locate to a hillside with nothing near it at all. Interestingly, GMaps goes to a different point, which happens to be at the end of a passing siding on the ATSF main line, just north of the I-40 exit to go to Meteor Crater. There is of course no civilization around other than an RV camp on the opposite side of the interstate, which is named after the crater, not the siding. Mangoe (talk) 22:30, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete The point GMaps gives is consistent with the 1968 topo map, not sure about the discrepancy the coordinates on GNIS. Absent from the 1982 map. I found results that there was oil drilling taking place there [1] and it was an RR station for a potential power plant [2] but nothing that it was a community.

- Redirect to Meteor Crater. Sunshine station was the location of Meteor post office, detailed here. The establishment of the post office in 1906 at Sunshine serving the crater involved a petition to Theodore Roosevelt, so is of some note. Prior to 1902 the station was called "Sunset" as stated in Arizona Place Names but I haven't had much luck finding anything under that name. Redirecting Sunshine, Arizona to Meteor Crater also makes sense because some local geological features have ended up with the name, such as Sunshine Nose.----Pontificalibus 08:31, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete as there is a lack of coverage such as no entry at all at All Music, also his youtube subscibers amount to 62,000 which is relatively low and the video views are low as well, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:21, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete we cannot source him to his performances themselves which is what is being done here. We need secondary sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:44, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: Per Nom and others. "...62,000 which is relatively low" and "there isn't that much notability" are very conservative comments. According to the Social Blade (that I recently ran across): Social Blade Rank= 262,590th, Subscriber Rank= 250,213th, and Video Views Rank= 390,197th. This seems like an advertising push to get "youtube coverage on Wikipedia" and "Wikipedia is not a blog, web hosting service, social networking service, or memorial site". Otr500 (talk) 12:09, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TNT. This isn't an article, it's a hot mess. Even assuming we could fix this essay/resume, there aren't enough significant coverage in secondary sources to allow for musical notability. Bearian (talk) 14:10, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - I am merely piling it on here, but in addition to what everyone else has said, it is suspicious when a musician who claims to have dozens of releases gets almost no media coverage outside of his own social media self-promotions. All I found was this: [3], from a site that appears to host freelance music/movie reviewers. Mr. Cobb is a hobbyist who makes and releases his own music, and there is apparently a lot of it, but quantity does not translate into notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:39, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

- If you're arguing for merger there's no need to go through AfD. You can do that unilaterally. Right now this AfD could be closed as speedy keep #1 because no one has argued for deletion or hard redirect. buidhe 23:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Merge per nom; Bell CA is a small town which cannot hand all of its mayors an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist, and three of the six footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability, while the three that are real media are all covering him in the context of a single incident that just makes him a WP:BLP1E rather than a topic of enduring encyclopedic interest in his own right. That said, Buidhe is correct that you don't need AFD's permission to redirect it to the event article — you can just do it unilaterally, as long as your edit summary explains your actions. AFD can certainly be asked to weigh in later on if somebody opposes you on it afterward, but doesn't have to weigh in before you're allowed to act the first time. Bearcat (talk) 23:52, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- List of Decepticons (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Same rationale as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Autobots that was just deleted. Anyone worried about the redirects to the article can either move them now or request they be retained should this end in delete.
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. Decepticon 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. Due to that, this cannot function as a proper navigational hub without being even more of a mess than its current incarnation. TTN (talk) 21:36, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete It's clumsily and poorly worded and other articles cover all of it.Halbared (talk) 23:54, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Pretty much my same argument here as on the recently closed AFD on the corresponding Autobots list. Every major iteration of the franchise already has coverage of their major characters, whether on the many other Lists of Transformers characters or in their own articles. A list that just jams in every Decepticon, regardless of notability, from multiple series, timelines, and continuities into one place is not a useful way to organize information that is either already found in better form elsewhere or not notable enough to cover. Decepticons are notable, but this list is just WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Rorshacma (talk) 00:03, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - The Transformers story arcs are too separate to create a coherent list that passes WP:LISTN, and most of the content on this page is irrelevant to anything. Hog Farm (talk) 05:03, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. As others have already pointed out, the characters on this list are already present on other lists. There is nothing lost by getting rid of this list other than duplicated text. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:04, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- keep [4] appears to be very strong as does [5]. They feel a bit too positive, but I think both are reliable sources and certainly cover the man in detail. There are a few other, mostly similar, sources. Hobit (talk) 22:05, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- 1 is not a WP:GNG-satisfying source. There is no secondary source content from the author, Steven Brown, Sentinel Classical Music Critic. The whole article is subject quoting and reformatted information straight from the subject. That is not independent, as required by the GNG. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:01, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- I understand what you're saying, but I'll disagree with that. It's in part an interview, but also the author spoke to others (McKeans for example) and has some actual research of his own. I'm comfortable with it as independent and reliable. And I've never agreed with the notion that interviews by reliable sources don't count for the GNG. I know a number of people support that, but WP:GNG doesn't have such a requirement as I read it. Hobit (talk) 05:59, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Can you point to a sentence or two that is secondary source content created by the author? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:11, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Not sure how you are defining secondary source in this context (I think you and I have discussed the various definitions by different academic disciplines in the past), but I'd say the 3rd through 6th paragraph, as well as the 8th ("At age 90..."), 10th, "Tiedtke sits on United Arts' board of trustees with representatives of some of Central Florida's biggest corporations. Yet he notices that these businesses, much larger than his own, give no more to United Arts than he does." "*Tiedtke has been connected to Central Florida in one way or another for almost his entire life. Though he was born in Toledo, Ohio - where his father and uncle were the prosperous owners of a large supermarket and department store - he and his family began spending parts of the winters in Orlando in the early 1920s. The Tiedtkes lived near Colonial Drive and Magnolia Avenue. A family named McKean was among their neighbors - and two of the McKean boys, Hugh and Keith, became young Tiedtke's friends for life. Hugh, who died in 1995, went on to become Rollins' president and a co-founder of the Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park. Keith, a retired college professor who lives in Winter Park, said the Tiedtke he met 75 years ago was much like the one he knows today."
- I'd call all that reporting rather than just interview questions and answers. Not sure if that's what you are looking for. There is a fair bit more than that. Could you give an example of coverage of a person in a newspaper article that is more like what you feel is required to count as a source? Hobit (talk) 18:07, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I too call all that reporting, repeating of facts without comment or bias, like photocopying. Photocopying does not turn primary sources information into secondary source information, what is needed is author-source commentary, contextualisation, or any transformation of the primary source material. At an absolute minimum, I am looking for an author-sourced adjective applied to the subject, which I did not find. The standard minimum is more like two strung sentences of commentary. Some say 100 words. This source has no commentary, if you exclude the non-independent quotes. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:21, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- As we have in the past, we'll have to agree to disagree. Good news reporting (rather than editorializing), like good academic papers, shouldn't have commentary. They report the facts. We want facts, not opinions, in our articles. Requiring a source to have opinions before we can use it to count toward our inclusion guidelines doesn't seem like a standard that's found in WP:N nor one that, IMO, makes sense. We'd have a hard time writing articles on science things with that requirement. Hobit (talk) 14:24, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Facts are good, but independent secondary sources are what’s required to justify covering the topic. It is a straight reading of WP:N, and it is the policy WP:PSTS that requires some secondary sources no matter how many reports and facts there are. Reports merely repeating facts are not secondary sources. I’d like to keep this topic, but we need evidence (2 sources) that anyone has cared to publish any comment on him. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:57, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

- Problem with Orlando Magazine and Orlando Sentinel, the former of which still does not have an article, is that they are local media (in particular, this seems to be a problem with the OM). Now, WP:AUD is a guideline for organizations, and I believe there is no consensus to apply it to biographies, but there is also no consensus to ignore it - and IMHO it is something to to consider. A person whose coverage is limited to local (city) media, not even regional, IMHO falls on wrong side of borderline notability. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- I think it is ok to be lenient with local coverage for non commercial topics, and tough for commercial topics. Local businesses use their connections to influence favourable coverage. Sports should be considered commercial, if connected to ticket sales. Tiedtke does not at all connected to current commercial interests, and so I don’t think there is reason to suspect non-independence of local coverage. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:47, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- @SmokeyJoe: Right, but keep in mind the charity-donations-write about our benefactor angle. Now, charity and such can totally make someone notable, but it would be good to see coverage from independent sources that are less likely to be variations of obituaries penned as thanks for the donations during his lifetime. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:14, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

- I know you described your reasoning above, but you've linked to WP:NBIO and indicated that they fail this guideline due to their being only local coverage. As you note, local coverage isn't even mentioned in WP:NBIO. And secondly, local in this case is 2.1 Million people in the greater Orlando area.I just don't think it's reasonable to claim someone fails a guideline for a reason not listed in that guideline. I'm fine with an IAR argument (that the guideline *should* say this), and between your two comments I think that's what you are saying. In any case, there are other sources [6] itself is a source and lists a few others. [7]. But yes, those are also local to the area. Hobit (talk) 14:04, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Good finds. Sufficient coverage in local sources can be an argument something is on the wrong side of borderline. It's not a simple math. I got interested in 'local' coverage few years back when there was a bio of an architect whose only source was an in-depth biography published in church newsletter. Anyway, since [8] does not seem to be peer reviewed, I am afraid I am still leaning towards delete. If it was, however, published in a peer reviewed outlet, or a non-local paper, I'd be happy to reconsider my vote. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:52, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

The article notes:
John Tiedtke was another important figure in the cultural development of Winter Park. Tiedtke vacationed in Florida with his family in the 1920s. In the 1930s, he was very successful in the state’s sugar industry, and he moved to Winter Park in 1948.
The Winter Park Bach Festival was established in 1935. Tiedtke served as president of the event from 1950 until his death in 2004 at the age of 97.
“The Bach Festival was started by a very dynamic woman, a Mrs. Sprague-Smith, and she did a great job of creating it and getting it going,” Tiedtke remembered in a 1995 interview. “In 1950, she died suddenly. I was on the board, and nobody else on the board wanted the responsibility of trying to run it and keep it going, so I finally agreed to do it. Then, for two or three years, Hugh McKean, the president of Rollins, and I kept trying to find somebody to run it, and we couldn’t. He finally suggested that I just take the title of president because I’d been running it anyway.”

The article notes:
That sort of commitment is beyond most of us. But John Tiedtke's example will be before us again as of Thursday, when the 63rd annual Bach Festival of Winter Park begins.
Since 1950, Tiedtke has been the festival's leader - not only running it but helping foot the bill for it. He has pitched in with a variety of the area's other cultural groups too.
He has served Rollins College in several capacities, including a 20-year stint as its treasurer. He has helped support the Enzian Cinema Cafe in Maitland - which his daughter, Tina, founded. He has given $100,000 a year to United Arts of Central Florida since it was founded in 1988.
Tiedtke's real business is a group of sugar, citrus and corn farms near Lake Okeechobee. He has done everything else as a sideline.

The arts in Central Florida lost a giant on Tuesday. John M. Tiedtke, local businessman, philanthropist and tireless patron of the arts, died at 97.
...
Tiedtke was born Sept. 15, 1907, in Toledo, Ohio, into a wealthy family -- they owned a supermarket and department store in Toledo.
He created even more wealth by investing in sugar, citrus and corn farms on land near Lake Okeechobee. Land companies, development companies, Shawnee Cattle and Atlas Sugar were among his holdings.
But it was what he did with that wealth that has had so much impact.
He spent millions bringing great music, film and art to his adopted home -- Central Florida.

The article ntoes:
Enzian owes its existence to John Tiedtke, whose family owned a prosperous department store in Toledo, Ohio, and had a winter home in Orlando at the corner of Hillcrest Street and Magnolia Avenue. Tiedtke made Winter Park his permanent home as an adult, tending to the family’s investments in South Florida farmland and becoming a savior to nearly every arts organization in town, including the Bach Festival, Florida Symphony Orchestra, Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando Opera, and Festival of Orchestras—all that besides being a founder/funder of United Arts of Central Florida.
Tiedtke’s love of the arts drew him close to people of similar tastes. His best friend from boyhood on was another hugely influential Central Florida arts philanthropist and cultural advocate, Rollins College president and Morse Museum co-founder Hugh McKean, who saved priceless Tiffany stained-glass windows from the wrecking ball. And Tiedtke’s wife was a woman who was raised alongside the Danube, in the City of Music, home to Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.
Her name was Sylvia Southard. She was a princess and a survivor.
...
Sylvia met John Tiedtke after the war, while visiting relatives in Winter Park. They married in 1948 and had two children, Philip and Tina, with whom they would summer in the family castle, where one of Sylvia’s favorite activities was taking the children hiking up through the mountain passes, enjoying the wild Alpine flowers they saw along the way. Among them was a rare, velvety blue, trumpet-shaped bloom called enzian. In 1985, when Tina Tiedtke took up the cause of creating an alternative art movie house for Orlando, the seed money for the enterprise came from her art-loving father, while its name owed its inspiration to the rarest of the flowers she’d seen on those mountain treks with her mother.

The article notes:
He bought more and more municipal bonds. By the time Florida's economy began to revive, in 1938, John Tiedtke had made a fortune of his own. He went on to make — and continues to make — an even greater fortune in the Everglades in the sugar business.
...
For as little as $10 an acre, sometimes for as little as unpaid back taxes, Tiedtke bought several hundred acres in the Everglads and began cultivating sugar. The business is called Shawnee Farms and now consists of vast tracts of land cultivated in sugar cane.
...
When Tiedtke wasn't spending his time on his Everglads plantations, he was living in Winter Park, and there his association with Rollins College began. During the spring semesters, he taught photography classes. By the 1940s, he began teaching business courses. He still goes every day to a rented office on the Rollins campus where he spends time working on his farms' business, on his own investments and on the business of the arts in Central Florida.

The article notes:
By the time Sinclair arrived, the society and its annual festival had for decades been the personal domain of Tiedtke, a shrewd businessman who had made his fortune growing sugar, citrus and corn in South Florida. McKean had asked his boyhood friend to take charge in 1950, when founding society President Isabelle Sprague-Smith died and the organization’s future seemed in doubt.
The no-nonsense Tiedtke proved a fortuitous choice. He loved music — he played a little piano, but mostly enjoyed listening ---— and was a consistent and generous donor to community-based arts organizations. At Rollins, he had been treasurer and chairman of the board of trustees.
...
Tiedtke died the following year at 97, and to the end was cajoling Central Florida businesspeople to do their civic duty and give more to the arts. In fact, Sinclair’s continued presence in Winter Park can be counted among the plain-spoken philanthropist’s many legacies.
Just before Tiedtke’s death, Rollins established the John M. Tiedtke Endowed Chair of Music. For once, the man for whom the chair was named wasn’t asked to write a check.
Others contributed generously, including an anonymous $250,000 donation that was later revealed to have come from one Fred McFeely Rogers, Class of ’51, a music composition major who became TV’s Mister Rogers and befriended the Sinclairs during his frequent Winter Park visits.

John Tiedtke, treasurer and vice-president of Rollins College is doing some diversified farming at his Shawnee Farm just over the line in Glades County, a few miles from here.
When Tiedtke bought the property about 1937 it was with the intention of raising sugar cane. This he has done successfully and this year will produce about 1,500 acres of it. Then he began to grow lettuce, built a packing house to handle the crop.
It was the lettuce that helped him get in the cattle business, according to his manager, Otto Larson. Disposal of the waste from the packing house posed something of a problem so Tiedtke bought a few cattle to feed. And three years ago he went into the cow business seriously.

It geolocates to a spot in an arroyo with nothing around it except a recently built church near a house, a few miles to the west.

The text claims this as a "former stop on the Grand Canyon Railway", which I don't believe is true. It is on that line (and you can see MoW equipment and a huge pile of ties in the GMap aerial at this time), but I really doubt that the GCRY ever stopped there in the middle of nowhere. It was a siding on the ATSF, and is referred to a couple of places: for example, this AEC report describes it as an unstaffed ATSF station. Otherwise I get the usual geoclickbait and pictures of GCRY trains, and that's it. I'm not seeing the notability here. Mangoe (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- The band are notable with coverage in CrossRythyms and Tollbooth which are reliable music sources but there is no need for a seperate discography page so it should be merged into the Dissident Prophet article and the three album pages redirected to that article as they show no independent notability imv, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:14, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- Merge discography article to the band's article, and Redirect the album articles to the band as well. As stated nicely by Atlantic306 above, the band itself has a little notability but their releases do not. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:30, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect per above. I’m not particularly convinced of the band’s notability, but unless that gets sent to AFD, that’s a separate issue, and the merging/redirecting still works. (Not to mention that, if the band’s article were deleted, then it would mean this would all be be deleted all the same, which is the only reasonable alternative here. We simply don’t need separate discography articles for bands with no charting to to document.) Sergecross73 msg me 17:02, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- Also, though the recommendation is to merge the discography article to the band's article, there is practically nothing to merge because none of their releases charted and all that's left are album and song titles. If that is the ultimate decision in this AfD, I will do the merge myself in about a minute. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:21, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

I would be raising this regardless of her recent separation from her husband. This person does not appear to have any significant notability independent of her husband, who is himself not far above the threshold of notability. He is one of the less prominent grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth II, and does not have any royal or noble title. See WP:NOTINHERITED. PatGallacher (talk) 14:45, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Delete Textbook example of WP:NOTINHERITEDTheLongTone (talk) 16:16, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I'm puzzled by the references above to WP:NOTINHERITED. That (influential) essay proposes arguments to be avoided in deletion discussions. Most examples given are of "keep" arguments but no one has suggested "keep" here so these examples do not seem to apply. However it also deprecates two "delete" arguments, one of which is "Delete she's only the U.S. President's wife". So, it seems to me that WP:NOTINHERITED suggests that the nomination here is a poor one and does not focus appropriately. I do have some sympathy with the WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE argument, however. Thincat (talk) 12:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- I completely agree. Seeing WP:NOTINHERITED used as a sole reason (when it's not a guideline) for deletion seems misplaced here, because of the exact example it uses for a wife in that essay. Whisperjanes (talk) 02:47, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Merge Peter Phillips is 15th in line of succession. Fact that they declined a royal title does not remove their royal lineage nor connection to royalty past or present. This is a question of how far removed from royalty should be considered notable under WP:GNG. I would argue if Peter Phillips is considered notable and included in WP, she should at least be merged into Peter Phillips PenulisHantu (talk) 14:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

What remains is the personal family history of Autumn Phillips, who has always been a private figure who has never carried out public activities (unlike wives of US presidents). In fact, one could argue that there should never have been an article about her. She is a classic WP:BLP1E, that one event being married to a peripheral member of the British royal family whose own notability is borderline. Risker (talk) 01:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
Keep Her marriage to Peter Phillips does not make her notable automatically, but the coverage she has received does. Is anyone disputing that she has has received significant coverage in reliable sources? I don't see how WP:BLP1E applies here, the coverage relates to a number of different events: her wedding, the birth of her kids, the conversion from Catholicism and her divorce. She has made several public interviews, so she is not exactly avoiding public life. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 15:20, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:52, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comments: Examples of "other articles" can give the wrong signal. The BBC example titled Queen attends landmark Braemar Gathering with content, "The Queen was accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles and her eldest grandson Peter Phillips, and his wife Autumn." is the opposite of significant coverage and at the same time is the definition of passing mention. The example might be acceptable for content but does nothing to advance notability. Otr500 (talk) 23:42, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- I explicitly said that those links were simply to prove that she participates in public events as a member of the royal family, making WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE irrelevant to this discussion. What do you think about all the sources already in the article, would you say they constitute a significant coverage or not? Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 00:34, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
Comment I have now added a few new sources to the article and replaced some questionable ones. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 09:25, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete and/or Merge to Peter Phillips: Not notable for a stand alone article per Nom, that notability is not inherited, and other reasoning: See "Comments". Otr500 (talk)
- Comments: User Pax:Vobiscum, that stated "...the coverage relates to a number of different events: "her wedding" (to Peter Phillips), "the birth of her kids" (from the marriage to Peter Phillips), "the conversion from Catholicism and her divorce" (related to Peter Phillips). She has made several public interviews, so she is not exactly avoiding public life.". The last sentence is covered extensively in Who is a low-profile individual?. Any notability of the subject is directly related to her marriage to Peter Phillips. "Low-profile" "is someone who has been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention, often as part of their connection with a single event.". Neither are "titled", nor their children, they are not "working royals", and that does give credibility to WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE.
- The opening sentence of the article states: "...is the wife of Peter Phillips...". The only thing likely to change in the future would be, "is the ex-wife of Peter Phillips". Any "appearances" with Peter, the grandson of the Queen, even if involving "public functions" the Queen is attending, would normally be as the wife of Peter in non-self-promotional functions.
- The entire lead provides zero notability of the subject not connected with Peter Phillips. The entire article with 29 references provides no independent notability, certainly not in the lead or "Early life" sections, and the bulk of the article is found in the "Marriage to Peter Phillips" and "Children" sections. To fans of "including everything in the world on Wikipedia" (encyclopedic or possibly not) that is likely to be hard to understand. There are numerous sources that state the subject and her husband are considered "low-keyed" or maintaining a "low profile". It could be argued: "But they reportedly were interviewed and photographed by Hello! magazine, for an apparent fee of £500,000.": Please see Wikipedia:Who is a low-profile individual#Behavior pattern and activity level.
- Sources need to "support a claim of notability" over just supporting content. When notability is called into question we cannot just assert there is notability. There are what looks like 9 links to The Daily Telegraph (counts as one towards notability), along with around 20 other references, and we still have an article captioned as "the wife of Peter Phillips". Regardless of any rhetoric, defending of the article, or The Daily Telegraph, that is what is presented, but may soon be the above mentioned "ex-wife of Peter Phillips".
- I joined Wikipedia because I liked the idea of sharing knowledge freely with the world so I am not a fan of the The Daily Telegraph. Partly because they have already received compensation for what they want us to pay for again, but also because they do print tabloid type money making news stories. Unless consensus was to change the reliability of The Daily Telegraph is not questioned. That is not the point. A misconception is that several references do not automatically confer notability. This can be seen by a more common trend that comments such as "Keep, the article has plenty of reliable sources", are not generally counted as valid.
- I would be so open to constructive comments providing independent notability (since I could not find any) that could be added to the lead (and referenced in the body), not related to Peter Phillips, the marriage or children, or the crown. I don't see that it exists. Without that, we are just supporting the creation of a pseudo biography that includes
If the event itself is not notable enough for an article, and the person was noted only in connection with it, it's very likely that there is no reason to cover that person at all.
This can be seen as an easy rebuttal of a presumption of notability. -- Otr500 (talk) 17:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)- Obviously she is known because of her association with the British royal family. Is anyone associated with the Royal family notable? Absolutely not. How do we determine which are notable and which aren't? We see if there is significant coverage in reliable sources. WP:NOTINHERITED actually makes this exact point: "The fact of having a famous relative is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article. Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG." Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 19:46, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. Wonder if this might have gone already had I voted 'delete' rather than 'merge'. In any case, I am fully with Otr500 above. RobinCarmody (talk) 18:41, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep There was extensive, often front-page, coverage of her, back in the day. And it focused far more on her, than her husband. Some examples are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Easily and independently meets GNG. Nfitz (talk) 03:39, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Meets GNG thank you to Nitz. Lightburst (talk) 04:59, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Nfitz and just as her being a part of the British royal family. I also want to point out that in WP:NOTINHERITED, which a few used as an argument for deletion, has one example about marriage -- and it's used to show as a reason not to use for deletion. It even goes on to say about not inherited: "Note, however, that this does not apply to situations where the fact of having a relationship to another person inherently defines a public position that is notable in its own right, such as a national First Lady." I personally think being a part of the British royal family does denote a public position, but I'm sure some might disagree. Either way, it's just an additional thought, since the new sources added pass WP:GNG. Whisperjanes (talk) 02:47, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

- Weak Keep: I think the subject passes WP:NACTOR—she's played supporting roles in some big films, including Dark Skies (film) and Hanging Up, as well as dozens of guest spots in TV series and smaller roles in several other films. The argument for WP:GNG is a bit weaker, because most of the sources I am finding simply mention her with respect to her roles—but, there are quite a few sources, from Broadway World and Los Angeles Times, among others. The article itself needs some work, but I don't think deletion is necessary in this instance. Dflaw4 (talk) 04:56, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Her guest roles and smaller roles wouldn't come in to play with WP:NACTOR. I see she had supporting roles in those two films, but I'm not seeing evidence that her role in those movies were significant. Broadway World wouldn't be considered a reliable secondary source. And what La Times article are you referencing? The only two I see only mention the person in a WP:ROUTINE manner and wouldn't constitute the substantial coverage required by GNG. Sulfurboy (talk) 09:45, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Right, Sulfurboy, but they do show that the actress has a fairly large body of work, and there are a few more films in which she has had supporting roles, too. I generally consider supporting roles in notable films to be "significant". As for the Los Angeles Times articles, they do seem to be fairly routine, I agree: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2019-09-10/new-movies-opening-in-la-this-week-sept-15-22-brad-pitt-ad-astra-downton-abbey-Rambo; https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-thursdays-tv-highlights-working-the-engels-on-nbc-20140820-story.html. There are more substantial articles, too, although they come from less reliable sources. But, putting it all together, I think there is enough for a "Weak" Keep—certainly not a "Strong" Keep.

The result was keep. There seems to be consensus to keep this article per WP:NOLY. The general argument for deletion was that WP:OLY only offered a presumption of notability. However, it is worth noting that WP:GNG also uses the word presumed, and that the ultimate standard of notability is consensus in a deletion discussion. Special notability guidelines exist to complement the GNG in fields where coverage may be more sparse. (non-admin closure) ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 19:24, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

A total lack of WP:RS giving significant attention to this person. There are a few databases and results listings,but nothing that would come close to meeting WP:GNG. Meets WP:NOLY as an Olympian, but this only gives a presumed notability which, when challenged (as here), needs to be substantiated to show that the person indeed at least meets the GNG. Just like with many athletes who competed in the early Olympics, which received a lot less attention, this is not possible with currently available sources.

- One closed as no consensus, and the other is not comparable as the athlete had many more accomplishments, and finding sources for a North Korean was considered harder than usual. At the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#Change to WP:NOLY, most commenters agree that WP:NOLY indicates presumed notability, but that in the end (e.g. when challenged at AfD) the subject must meet the general WP:GNG rule of multiple indepth sources, not just some database listings or mentions in sports results. Fram (talk) 10:32, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. SNGs are useful rule of thumb, but not carte blanche to create an article based only on database entries. Athletes such as Blansaer should be listed at List of competitors at the 1920 Summer Olympics or similar. buidhe 03:17, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- I am a Belgian Wikipedian, I can read the sources in Dutch (and French, German and English). They are sorely lacking for this athlete though. Fram (talk) 05:27, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Going to basically copy and paste my response from the other AfD: WP:NOLYMPICS doesn't exist because someone decided out of nowhere that all Olympians are notable or to override general notability guidelines. With arguably the exception of the earliest editions, but certainly by 1920, people who attended the Olympics were not just picked out of a hat, they were elite athletes at the national level. In 2020 on Google, yes, the only thing that is readily available is that he participated in one event at the Games, but the fact that he was there in the first place suggests that he had at least some success in his home country, which is probably difficult to find information about unless you have access to Belgian publications from the 1910s and 1920s. WP:NOLYMPICS exists, therefore, because consensus determined that if the individual was at the Games, there is a significant likelihood that sufficient sources for a biography exist that may just be difficult to access. My work is on pre-1952 Egyptian athletes, and information beyond their Olympic appearance is difficult to find in Arabic online, let alone in English. But I happen to have access to newspapers and sports journals from that era and there is plenty of coverage on all of them that would satisfy WP:N with ease. For a country like Belgium, which at the time had a better-developed press and sporting infrastructure, there must exist coverage of all of their Olympians that would easily satisfy WP:N, I just can't access it (or at least read it). WP:NOLYMPICS represents that consensus that these sources likely exist for all Olympians, even if we cannot find them, and so we can avoid discussions such as this and presume notability unless there is convincing evidence otherwise.

Meets WP:NOLY as an Olympian, but fails WP:GNG as there are no significant, indepth sources about him (and meeting GNG is a requirement under NOLY as well, just being an Olympian is an indication of possible notability, but not a default pass). Note that the article (based on a database source) even gets his name wrong, he was Gerard Bertheloot, not "Gérald". All I was able to find was some local stuff from his city Kortrijk, and one picture in an old local newspaper.
Contrary to current competitors at the Olympic, many competitors at the early games (pre-1940 roughly) are barely documented or remembered, and got little attention at the time either. This is one of those who is barely something beyond a name in a database, and thus not fit to be the subject of an enwiki article. Fram (talk) 09:47, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

You are simply restating the presumption, without any evidence. The first Afd closed as "no consensus", hardly an overwhelming reason to keep this one.

I respect that Lugnuts has put in a lot of time here to create articles on Olympians. If you Google search them and find multiple sources which can be used to expand them, great. But when you search and literally find nothing but the database mentioning one Olympic appearance, how do we expand ones like this? I think in cases where they'll only ever remain database stubs we should redirect into lists like List of competitors at the 1928 Summer Olympics. When creating the stubs I would check to see if there are further sources available for later expansion, if not then perhaps consider merging into a list which gives birth and place of birth dates of each competitor. I think this a wider issue, not just one off Olympians but villages (even a lot of ones I created), moths etc which currently only have stark database mentions. At the end of the day we want to write an encyclopedia and if there's nothing which can be used to even write a 1 kb stub we should consider a way to convey the same info in lists without readers having to search through hundreds of pages...♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:30, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

My work is on pre-1952 Egyptian athletes, and information beyond their Olympic appearance is difficult to find in Arabic online, let alone in English. But I happen to have access to newspapers and sports journals from that era and there is plenty of coverage on all of them that would satisfy WP:N with ease. For a country like Belgium, which at the time had a better-developed press and sporting infrastructure, there must exist coverage of all of their Olympians that would easily satisfy WP:N, I just can't access it (or at least read it). WP:NOLYMPICS represents that consensus that these sources likely exist for all Olympians, even if we cannot find them, and so we can avoid discussions such as this and presume notability unless there is convincing evidence otherwise.

Smartyllama (talk) 23:41, 2 March 2020 (UTC)- Calling someone a "notorious troll" is very, very insulting. I have made over 350,000 edits on Wikipedia, created well over 1000 articles, and sought to improve the encyclopedia in coutless ways. Under sourced participation at the olympics should not be used to force micro stubs. The abuse that people who stand up to the tyranny of the Wikipedia establishment get is unconscionable. This is why Wikipedia remains a presentist, overly covering males project that attracts mainly males as contributors, because the existing values are fought for to the point of anyone who tries to change them gets harrassed, insulted and oppressed. Calling someone a troll is unacepptable and wrong.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:14, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

- The arguments made here clearly mininterpret the actual notability guidelines for olympic competitots. Presumed notability does not overpower GNG in this case, only suggests we should search long and hard to show passing of GNG. Here searching was done long and hard, but not enough sourcing was produced but people are ignoring this reality to advocate for the article anyway.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:20, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete – We can't write a biography without in-depth (read: GNG) sources. Meeting an ATH SNG, alone, isn't a reason to keep. NOTDIR is the policy that governs here: we are not a directory of Olympic athletes. Levivich [dubious – discuss] 19:32, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. We should not be trying to create articles without secondary sources to speak of; per WP:NOTDIR which trumps notability guidelines. SNGs that recommend the creation of such unsuitable articles should be revised. NB, calling a good faith editor "notorious troll" is completely unacceptable. buidhe 04:35, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. A google search is woefully inadequate in assessing notability for someone like Bertheloot. Likewise, databases such as Newspapers.com are also insufficient because they do not include sources from the non-English speaking world. It seems prudent (perhaps essential) to check French and Belgian sources from the late 1920s and early 1930s to see what type of coverage Bertheloot actually received. Barring negative results from such a search, and in the case of a pre-Internet subject most likely to be covered in the non-English-speaking world, I do not think that there is a sound basis for rebutting the presumption of notability that flows from WP:NOLYMPICS.

- Keep per WP:NEXIST, which says that if reliable sources exist, then the subject is notable. Dr. Blofeld's point that "we can't currently access them and are unlikely to for a Very long time if ever" isn't relevant; offline and hard-to-reach sources still exist, even if an individual editor can't access them. Likewise, WP:ARTN says that the current state of the article doesn't affect the subject's notability. Personally, I agree that this article is not interesting and won't win any awards, but I disagree that it makes the website crap. The website is fine. -- Toughpigs (talk) 23:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface.

- Keep Nominator acknowledges that the subject competed in the Olympics, so the subject meets WP:NOLY. What else? As it is the subject passes the SNG. Those who appear in the Olympics are notable. In addition to SNG - not that it is needed but WP:NEXIST as other editors have stated. Lightburst (talk) 02:35, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Competing in the Olympics makes you notable based on common sense. Not sure why this keeps coming up since these articles always get kept don't they? The Notability guidelines all have a disclaimer saying "It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." See that last part? And despite some desperately trying to ignore the subject specific guidelines, WP:NOTABILITY clearly states "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right". So either common sense or the subject specific guideline for this sort of thing, proves the subject is notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. Dream Focus 03:47, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:NEXIST, which says that if reliable sources exist, then the subject is notable. I agree with the reasoning of Toughpigs. the subject meets WP:NOLY. For sure, sources are out there, but they are antiquated and not on the internet. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:44, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Anyway the primary concern per WP:NPOL is the lack of electoral success and article covering the subject in significant detail (despite being in politics for decades). The sources linked above are passing mentions/ comments in article covering other topics, and not meeting WP:GNG of this person.

- DBigXray Any reasonable attempt at BEFORE requires a review process beyond the content of the article. From what I can see on the article history, your first action was to tag it for notability, Soman reverted the tag seven hours later and invited comment on the talk page via the edit summary and 9 minutes and 41 seconds after Soman's revert you tagged the article for AfD. The article was nominated for deletion before there was a response to Soman on the article's talk page; so AFAICS there was no attempt to engage with another editor who held a view different than yours on this subject. I have no doubt that your contributions in general are made in GF, but I do not see a reasonable attempt to search for available sources for the article (a core element of BEFORE, viz D1) or engage in the most collaborative way. I'm further minded to this view, because my earlier Google searching revealed that the subject of the biography is notable across a number of areas (minority rights, electoral politics, religious activism...literally the very first piece I found is The Telegraph referring to him as "a prominent church leader and activist"). He easily meets BASIC (FWIW BISHOP is an essay) and it hardly took more than 15 minutes of work to establish this. Once again for the record: AfD is not cleanup.

- The initial nominator's claim was: "No significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". We were having a good discussion with Vexations. I have provided the sources and while some of them were refuted, most of them were not. Now this is turning into groundless and excathedral attacks on the article. This is not the principle Wikipedists should use. Thus, what is your argument about? If you want to dispute about WP:GNG, we should start from the beginning. However, if we continue to discuss the initial cause of the nomination for deletion, then please study the sources provided more thoroughly. As for your general claim that sources seem to be too trivial and so on, it is unclear which criteria do you use to conclude this. Additionally, please read my answer (to HighKing) below before continuing the discussion. Wellring (talk) 19:37, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Please, clarify for us how come such sources as https://it-kharkiv.com/en (Kharkiv public union); https://ain.ua/en (one of the largest Ukrainian online magazine dedicated to IT business, startups and entrepreneurship); https://tradepostusa.com (U.S. news website); https://www.insightssuccess.com (World Business Magazine); https://stpeteedc.com (St. Petersburg Area Economic Development Corporation); https://thekharkivtimes.com (local news website); https://www.kyivpost.com (The oldest Ukrainian English-language weekly newspaper) contradict the WP:ORGIND and especially Independent Content claim. Your argument looks very superficial. It seems that you just want to grab these various sources of information and strike them by one shot without good reasoning. Most likely, you are not familiar enough with the sources or are quite biased. In general, the initial nominator's claim was: "No significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I have provided the sources and while some of them were refuted, most of them were not. Thus, I hope for a sensible and thoughtful decision by the Wikipedia community.

- Wellring, well, lets see about me being
not familiar enough with the sources
tradepost USA is an aggregator (click on the read more link). The article was originally published by the Tampa Bay Business Journal (bizjournals.com/tampabay), an outlet of American City Business Journals. There is no original reporting in that article. The only statement it is used for is the claim that NIX has an office in St. Petersburg. When in doubt about a source, one clue that an article is based on a press release is the phrase "... said in a statement". Press releases don't establish notability. Independent reporting does. Vexations (talk) 20:28, 29 February 2020 (UTC)- Vexations, please read my answers more carefully. I wrote: "We were having a good discussion with Vexations". My latest answers do not concern you.

- That's a whole lot of WP:IDONTHEARYOU going on right there. Vexations has been kind enough to point out your misunderstanding on WP:ORGIND. You'd do well to take notice rather than doubling down and insisting that I respond to your post which only reinforces the perception that you are not familiar with WP:NCORP.

- Wellring You are correct in that my original !vote only provided one reason whereas not every single reference fails WP:ORGIND - although most of them fail. So, for completeness, here is the full reasoning. I am unable to locate any references containing significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content. It is a common misunderstanding of "references must be independent" to mean that the publisher and the topic company have no corporate links. Most miss the fact that the *content* must also meet certain criteria (most of the ones I've linked to). My analysis of the sources you mentioned are below.

Wellring (talk) 18:48, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- This reference from it-kharkiv.com has no credited journalist or source (always a red flag) and is in the format of a press release. The exact same article was also published by Kyiv Post where the entire thing is credited to "Business Wire" (for issuing press releases) and says the article it "By Nix Systems". Therefore no Independent Content, fails WP:ORGIND.
- There are three references from ain.ua. This one is a mere mention of the company name in a list, no detail whatsoever about the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. The next fails for the same reason. The third is a straight-forward comment on the position Nix appears ... in a list. Fails for the same reasons. Those references also fail since that is not considered significant coverage.
- This tradepostusa reference is not the original publisher which is from Bizjournals. This reference is classic churnalism and is essentially PR. There is no Independent Content - most of the article relies entirely on information provided by the company see the original Press Release here and quotations from connected sources (fails WP:ORGIND). In this article in a totally different publication, the same quotation from J.P.Dubuque is also used - maybe they went to the same "announcement"? There are a lot of other references covering the same event in the same way and they all fail WP:ORGIND.
- There are two references from insightsuccess. The first doesn't have any accredited source or journalist (a big red flag). The second appears to be a slideshare of the magazine itself containing the same article. Another example of churnalism. Check out the language for example: "the dream of forming the largest IT company in Ukraine", "against all odds", "unique direction", "grown and reinvented itself time and again", "unique approach and software engineering excellence", "prestigious position in the industry" - and that's just the lede. All of the articles on that site are churnalism. Not only does the article fail WP:ORGIND but I'd argue that the source fails WP:RS.
- The STPE reference is PR and published by a connected source - the St. Petersburgh Economic Development Corporation - who also lend some quotes to the official press release - see link above. Fails WP:ORGIND.
- This from The Kharkiv Times and provides no information on the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. It's essentially a couple of paragraphs that says that the police searched their offices with an explanation by the CEO. It is also not significant coverage and fails WP:SIGCOV.
- This article from Kyiv Post (The oldest Ukrainian English-language weekly newspaper) relies entirely on information and quotations provided by the company and their executives. There is nothing in this article that demonstrates original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, or fact checking that is clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject (as per the definition of "Independent Content") and fails WP:ORGIND.
- Wellring, I can acknowledge that it is very difficult for technology companies, even large ones, to be written about in a way which satisfies the criteria for establishing notability. Most articles are regurgitated company news and PR - but one of the easier ways is if the company has been covered by any independent analysts. I am unable to locate any reports on Nix but perhaps you might have more luck? HighKing++ 21:10, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, HighKing, for the answer. However, I still have some doubts regarding "insightsuccess" and KyivPost.
- The slideshare link was included to prevent the argument "doesn't have any accredited source or journalist". It is an accredited source and the above-mentioned slideshare is a confirmation. Moreover, it is not a "material that is substantially based on such press releases even if published by independent sources (churnalism)" (WP:ORGIND). I mean the article is wide enough for not to be considered as one that is based on a press release. Thus, is it just about style? Business magazine is not an encyclopedia and shouldn't follow the appropriate style. Churnalism is not about the style and the phrases you have provided. Consequently, it is not a churnalism. Therefore, I am not sure if it is a sufficient argument to reject this source.
- As for KyivPost, you wrote: "relies entirely on information and quotations provided by the company and their executives". The article includes some author's opinions, some widely available information, and some quotations that cover just a little part of the text. It is not enough to say that it "relies entirely on information and quotations provided by the company and their executives". Additionally, in WP:SIGCOV it is stated: "It does not need to be the main topic of the source material". This article does give a general description and overview of the company (it's about Vexations's claim below).--Wellring (talk) 18:58, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Just to respond briefly. The slideshare link is further confirmation that there is no accredited journalist but this, by itself, wouldn't put me off. To clarify, it's a red flag to be cautious and a little suspicious, not a red flag to reject the source entirely. But reading the article itself makes it clear that it was largely written by someone associated with the company. An article with genuine Independent Content (or a journalist using their own words) would not use phrases like "the company has taken a unique direction to meet the demands of clients offering specialized managed IT services". That's corporate speak. There's no explanation of any "unique direction" and nothing of any substance or depth in the article. The entire article is corporate speak. The headings use phrases such as "An All-Embracing Vision" and "A True Driver of Excellence". This article isn't even close to containing Independent Content and is most definitely churnalism because it is a corporate brochure dressed up as real journalism. As for KyivPost, can you point to any part of that article that you believe contains the author's opinions? Again, it is classic churnalism and a template of these types of articles - history (make sure of humble beginnings), define problem, describe growth, describe current success, sprinkle some forward looking statements and quotations from execs. The only thing missing for a complete set is a photo with smiling people. I understand you have a different opinion, that's fine, but in my opinion you're kidding yourself if you believe these article meet the criteria for establishing notability.

- Thank you, HighKing, for the answer. However, I still have some doubts regarding "insightsuccess" and KyivPost.
- Keep there are numerous sources, some of them are reliable and deep enough. Some of them are additional and helpful to understand the topic of the article. Concerning in-depth information on the company, here is a link to reliable KyivPost newspaper source with not CEO's citation but only a reportage: Kyivpost.--KressInsel (talk) 07:59, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

- Vexations, I found this one: Kyivpost--KressInsel (talk) 09:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- KressInsel, We're looking for significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. You mentioned numerous sources, some of them are reliable and deep enough. The article you cite as the example of that dedicates barely 15% of its content (20 sentences) to NIX and that includes a quote from the senior vice-president for corporate clients. Sorry, but we need more than that. Vexations (talk) 13:19, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- Comment Concerning the claims that some sources of the article don't meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Hm, it's not true that in 100% cases all the sources in Wikipedia articles should meet. At least the practice tells that. Take a look at any not-a-stub Wikipedia article and you will find numerous sources that fail to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. That because such sources support/cite some specific facts or numbers in a particular article. --KressInsel (talk) 07:59, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Response That's a very common misunderstanding. References are mainly within an article including to support facts and assertions within an article. But that doesn't mean that those references meet the standard required to establish notability of the topic. You can have an article with numerous references that don't meet the requirements for establishing notability. What we are concerned with here are identifying those references that meet the criteria for supporting notability and those references must meet the criteria in GNG/NCORP and those references must meet WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND and WP:SIGCOV in addition to being WP:RS. Also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - if you find other articles you believe don't have references that establish notability of the topic, nominate them. HighKing++ 14:54, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- In fact, that's why I nominated this article (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cleveroad). It was cited as an notable example for another (similar) company, Cleaveroad. I don't think equivalence is a good argument, because it works both ways: If Cleaveroad should be kept because NIX is (supposedly) notable, then NIX should be deleted if Cleaveroad is not notable. Instead, look at what sources exist (beyond merely cited) and if the article is not supported by significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, then the subject is not notable, especially if it is not in some way unique, important, pioneering, or otherwise remarkable.

- Vexations, why do you consider Cleveroad to be a similar company? NIX Solutions is a pioneer of Ukrainian IT founded in 1994.

The company employs about two thousand employees. --Wellring (talk) 18:58, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Per Goldsztajn which I couldn't have put better. The DRV should be read as suggested by the relisting admin. The was a question of whether this should be redirect/merge prior to a split out however I strongly reject that as in my opinion it would be difficult to do without undue weight in a high importance target article. The article has been developed slightly since that suggestion, it needs more but is really beyond my skill or resources to go farther myself. I remain reasonably convinced no evidence of alternatives to deletion were considered in this nomination by failure to pre-tag the article with notability issues for a reasonable period and failure to present evidence that options such as redirect had been considered. Additionally care should be taken with articles that are claimed to be of Mid/High Importance though I would have been reluctant to perhaps even go as far as Mid-importance myself. That said the state of the article was lamentably poor; it still remains currently below start.

This happened due to the fact that an article was created on the Russian Wikipedia and it was immediately nominated for a speedy deletion. In Ukrainian Wikipedia, the article was created over a year ago. --Flavius1 (talk) 09:23, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
Comment: 1, 4, 8, 14 – interviews (not tertiary coverage)
- 2, 3 are tabloids, as Flavius1 noted (we can’t rely upon the yellow press)
- 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13 – YouTube videos (~ social network-esque sources)
- 9 – interview beefed up by a short announcement of performance
- 11 – short news
- 15 – short news from the Instagram post of artists. There are such awards (https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Українська_пісня_року), but they lack regularity, have only an UK Wiki page created only just 19 February, 2020, and not verified by a patroller over there yet, though.

Comment:. Once again and more precisely. I think that person notable by criteria WP:SINGER (singers may be notable if meet at least one of the following criteria):
- 1. Has been nominated for a major music award in Ukraine - Yearly Ukrainian National Awards (YUNA) [43]
- 2. Has won for a music award «Ukrainian song of the year» for song "Osoka" [44] (the music award was renewed after a three-year break. In the 2000s, the award was called Our Song)
- 3. Has won second place in a major music competition in Ukraine - Vidbir 2020 (Vidbir is a Ukrainian musical competition organized by STB and UA:PBC. The contest defines the representative of Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest....it's like Melodifestivalen in Sweden or UMK in Finland).
- 4. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network (see links above national radio and national TV).
- 5. Has had a album on music chart (position on iTunes Chart #28 (February 02 2020); position on Apple Music Chart #6 (February 23 2020) [45]).
- 6. Has been the subject of multiple published works, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, online versions of print media, radio and television (see links above). P.S.

A fictional organization that seems to fail WP:NFICTION/GNG. I can't find anything that goes beyond WP:PLOT summary / list of appearances in media. They did recently appear on TV (Arrow) but I don't see anything about the group, some semi-related discussion about casting and such is not directly related to the notability of this entity. The best source I see is [46] and it is really a fancruft/trivia level. Few mentions in books are basically short plot summaries as well. Can anyone find anything better to rescue this?

- Keep per WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN. The Royal Flush Gang has appeared in DC comics for 35 years, and in six television shows (four animated, two live-action), so they've received coverage from reliable sources. The following sources are currently used in the article:

- "All In: A History of the Royal Flush Gang" by Kyle Dodson, DCUniverse.com (2020)
- This shows per WP:NEXIST that reliable non-fiction sources exist, which demonstrates notability. Many of them discuss plot-related information, but it's necessary when writing about fictional characters to describe their plot function in the context of the narrative as a whole. The article could use more work to cut down the overly-long plot summaries, but WP:ARTN says that the current state of the article does not affect the subject's notability. -- Toughpigs (talk) 21:40, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

A minute fictional prop. There is no evidence this object received any scholarly or otherwise in-depth analysis that goes beyond WP:PLOT summaries and lists mentioning media this appeared in.

I've added information to the article about the different creative decisions made by Mattel, the cartoon producers and the film producers about how the Power Sword was used in the different adaptations; this is real-world info from How He-Man Mastered the Universe: Toy to Television to the Big Screen by Brian C.

I notice you did not provide page ranges for your suggestions. Sadly, Mastering the Universe: He-Man and the Rise and Fall of a Billion-Dollar Idea is no preview to me on Google Books, nor can I locate it on LibGen (I'd appreciate information on how you got your copy, and no, I am in no position to go to a library as I don't live near any place that holds this work). Also, Clerisy Press is a very minor publisher, and I do wonder if they are reliable. Moving on, The Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - I was able to access this book through GB preview, but all mentions I see (pages 224, 11, 209 and 71) are strictly in-passing and plot summaries. Page 67 is restricted, but snippet view also appears in passing. I'd appreciate if you would tell us what I missed here, and where in this book is there an in-depth coverage of this topic. Also, it is published by Dark Horse Comics, so it could be considered PRIMARY or at least not independent of the subject. Which is also the case for your position #3, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: A Character Guide and World Compendium, from the same publisher. I have reviewed pages 442-443, and 458-461, as well as 208, and again I don't see anything outside in passing mentions of some plot summary.

- The Washington Post, the Nashville Tennessean, the Baltimore Sun, the Hartford Courant and United Press International, all talking about the Power Sword as a sought-after Christmas gift in various newspaper articles from 1987 to 2003.

- I am afraid this time I am not convinced by improvements to change my vote. You've referenced the WP:PLOT and added information that it was made into some toys, neither of which seems relevant. Plot is unsufficient, referenced or not, to demonstrate notability, while being made into toys is common enough to not be relevant. Not every product is notable.

While this article has been recently expanded with a few more sources, they don't help with the main issue, which is that this is essentially a WP:PLOT summary with a 'list of appearances in media' thrown in (therefore this fails WP:NFICTION/GNG). Batarang has never been analyzed beyond that. Batman is a popular enough franchise that there are several 'Batman encyclopedias' and some do include entries on Batarang, but the problem is that they do not go an inch beyond plot summaries (ex. The Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes: Batman: "Over the years, Batman and Robin have devised an arsenal of emergency batarangs, each one suited to some special purpose. These include the magnet or magnetic batarang, for disarming criminals and other uses; the seeing-eye batarang ..." Pure plot summary, no deeper analysis. In the end, there is little to say about this item - witness this great 'reference' used in the article: [48]. At best, this can be SOFTDELETED and merged/redirected to Batman or such (since it is a plausible search term related to Batman franchise), but there is no reason we need a separate article about 'types of Batarangs and media they appeared in', which is all that is written here, and I see no source that goes beyond this. (Ok, this is cute, but the fact that batarang is used as an example of" how the reader interprets the action in a comic panel" does not make it notable, per WP:NOTINHERITED). In the end, this is as notable of a topic as an article about types of Superman capes or such. WP:FANCRUFT, that is to say.

- "Image Schemas and Conceptual Metaphor in Action Comics", Elizabeth Potsch and Robert F. Williams, in Linguistics and the Study of Comics (Palgrave McMillan, 2012) which is mentioned above, and which demonstrates that the batarang is such a well-known fictional device that it can be used in a linguistics book.

- Redirect - Batman's utility belt seems like it would be the best core article, and that article can likely be expanded into something worthwhile. Regardless of what sources even say, it's just a bat-shaped boomerang shuriken. There's only so much you can say about it. Absolutely all discussion about the topic can fit in a couple paragraphs. This is basically just a permastub once you remove all this needless fluff that fails WP:NOTPLOT. There is no particular need to list every single minor usage in media.

- @Jhenderson777: Please WP:NPA. TTN makes a good point. Please address it instead. You invoke IMPERFECT above. But we need to show - suggest - how can we fix this article. The problem is that sources shown do not allow for any discussion of the topic outside PLOT and list of media appearances. I'd be happy to see this saved, but we need to show how this meets notability for stand-alone articles by showing that this topic received some significant coverage that goes beyond pure plot summary. Have you found any? I did review the sources presented here as best as I could and I don't see anything beyond PLOT summary. Even the Smithsonian entry doesn't say anything about that prop beyond stating it's name and plot-related function (bat shaped shuriken). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:10, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- First paragraph: an actual serious question. Second paragraph. Just honesty. I am a neutral person. If I vote notable then keep and if not then most likely merge. I don't feel that notability has to be proven all the time to fit the agenda that imperfect articles got to go. Yes....some articles are just plot and even (Heaven forbid) and not even sourced. But that don't mean nothing. Using one example: If Scooby-Doo (character) is in poor shape and had little to no citations. Does that it mean not notable and should be merged in Scooby Doo. No! Common sense dictates that it is well heard of and just need to be improved on. Not be freaking obliverated and AFD'd all the time. I personally don't even have to be a fan of Batman to have heard of the Batarang. It's practically an iconic fictional weapon. Also saying "it's just a" [insert description here] is an fallacy. It's like saying Princess Leia's bikini is just a bikini. Oh ok. Let's merge it to Princess Leia then. Jhenderson 777 09:48, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- As editors here, our duty is to determine what information belongs in an article and present it in a clear manner. My proposed target will inform a reader 1) what a Batarang is 2) who made it and when 3) what it's used for 4) detail on some of the variations and 5) its replacement with the grappling gun. The mass collection of specific uses and colors in other media borders on WP:TEMPLEOFFACTS territory. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:51, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect per Argento Surfer. I mean, there's nothing much to say about the batarang other than it's a boomerang shaped like a bat that Batman uses. It's hardly notable on its own. JOEBRO64 17:17, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- A lightsaber is just a space sword. A blaster is just a space gun. Princess Leia’s metal bikini is just a bikini, Batman’s utility belt is just a belt. The One Ring is just a ring and same with the Power ring. Superman logo is just a logo. The Batmobile is just a car. This is exactly what this logic sounds like. Also we are not supposed to say per whoever. Jhenderson 777 18:53, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- Lol let’s not be redundant and predictable. look at the sources and the comments that I already brought up. I already pointed out the essay in case someone used it and used sources to help prove significance. Also that essay is for voting not using examples of redundant fallacies. Batarang is iconic too and a signature weapons of Batman. There is at least twenty sources on it if you were paying attention. Prove me wrong? Jhenderson 777 00:32, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

They don't meet the WP:GNG and can't, or a relevant WP:SNG either; the WP:COI spam; they're memorials to worthy but unnotable persons; they're so badly made that they're not an asset to the project and need to be started over; they're irretrievably WP:NPOV or WP:BLP violations ; many other good reasons. Most of them I vote to delete, and most of them do get deleted.

- That has nothing to do with this case. The deal here is that there are some editors who don't like comic books and things related to them. I know this, you know this (or should), and everybody knows this, so why tiptoe around the matter? Whether this is bourgeois snobbery or whatever, who knows; I can't see inside people's minds. What matters is that you are wasting our time with efforts to destroy good articles that easily meet the WP:GNG, and the good work of either editors.

- I can assure you my opinion in this case was not informed by a dislike of comic books. I reviewed the current article both during and before this AfD. I have reviewed the sources provided during this AfD. The quality of them leads me to believe the URLs were copied from a Google news search without inspection. The Daily Mail, NPR, and CNET sources are all the same story: a batarang replica was among some items confiscated by the TSA. That's not something worth including in the article. Most of the listicles describe it as iconic. That's one sentence, and not enough to build an article on. There's a lot of flash here, but no substance. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:04, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. The sources are enough to establish notability. I'm also against redirecting because the utility belt actually seems less notable than the Batarang to the average reader. As often happens in these fictional deletion discussions, multiple sources are provided, and the response is "they're not in depth enough". In my opinion, multiple sources mentioning the Batarang do establish notability. But others disagree, so all we can do is keeping having these AFDs to try to form a consensus as best we can.

I am not seeing any source that discusses this character for more then a single sentence. Mentions are in passing and generally WP:PLOT summaries. Seems to fail GNG/NFICTION. Bottom line, this fictional character has not been subject to any in-depth analysis I have been able to find (nor anyone else, so far). While I appreciate new sources added after my prod by User:Toughpigs (who also removed the prod), I am afraid they do not change my prod rationale. Neither appears to be more than a passing remark about the topic. At best this can be SOFTDELETED by redirecting it to Dick Tracy.

- Setting aside whether Lancaster Intelligencer Journal is reliable enough or too niche (local), it is a helpful find (good job), through I think only one source can be said to be about the character. Is this enough for in-depth? At two-three sentences? Borderline, but again, helpful. One more find like this and this can start meeting GNG requirement for multiple in-depth sources. And no, sorry, second source you cite doesn't even mention the character by name, and the others are really in-passing. The movie got reviewed, the reviews mention the character occasionally, but in the end, an in-depth source is ideally a source about the character, or one that dedicates at least a good-sized paragraph to their analysis (that goes beyond a plot summary). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:44, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- I just posted six paragraphs from six different sources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 05:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, but as I said above, I think only the first one may meet GNG in-depth coverage requirements, and that's being charitable and saying that in-depth can be defined as four sentences or so. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:48, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Read the second one again. It is about the song "More", as sung by Breathless Mahoney in the movie. It says "Breathless". She is the singer that that paragraph is discussing. The others are about the temporary fashion craze that Breathless Mahoney inspired across America and Australia in 1990. None of them are movie reviews, and none of them are plot summary. -- Toughpigs (talk) 05:53, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Is the song speaking of Tracy nabbing Big Boy? Or is it of Breathless nabbing Tracy, as the camera pans over to the Club Ritz, where Breathless is entertaining the club owner and her boyfriend, Lips Manlis? In fact, it is both, as its reprise midway through the film demonstrates. There the song begins in the Club Ritz, with Breathless entertaining mobster Big Boy and his crowd, whereupon the police conduct a mock raid in order to plant a bug in Big Boy's war room. Breathless keeps singing, and the song continues, removed from its club context, as an accompaniment to a montage of images showing Tracy cracking down on the criminals... Yet one of the final montage images is Tracy, phallic tommy gun in hand, shadowed by a still larger image of Breathless uttering the song's final lines: "This time I'm not only getting, I'm holding my man." The longest head shot of Breathless comes when, focusing directly on Tracy, she sings, "And no one I've kissed, babe, ever fights me again." Both are relentless in their quest for domination, but since good triumphs over evil in the comic-book world -- and since sex is evil -- we know in advance that Breathless's pursuit will come to naught."

- Blank & Redirect Totally agree that the coverage is trivial. Except for maybe the one source above, but that's not enough. Although, redirecting to the Dick Tracy article seems fine. Also, as a side, I'm pretty lukewarm on the long quotes. It's not like people can't just visit the sources and read the quotes themselves. The AfD page is already long enough as it is. Not that I haven't made it longer with my long winded posts once or twice, but that's a different thing. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:11, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Prods are for writers who self-publish a book and now create an article on themselves and one for the book. These kind of things. You use PROD as peanuts. gidonb (talk) 13:40, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
Redirect to List of Dick Tracy characters where she is already covered. The sourcing, as mentioned, is pretty sparse and probably not enough to sustain an independent article. The entry in the Character List is also pretty much the entirety of the information that is in her own article, so I don't really see much that needs to be merged, but the history will still be intact if anyone sees anything that should be moved over. Rorshacma (talk) 16:11, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:HEY. I still think some of the added sources are somewhat questionable as far as how much significance they give to this specific character, but the article has certainly been expanded enough where a simple Redirect as I initially proposed would no longer be appropriate. Rorshacma (talk) 16:16, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per significant coverage from reliable sources. In addition to what has been highlighted above, Dick Tracy and American Culture: Morality and Mythology, Text and Context has numerous sentences about Breathless, including a very solid paragraph on page 279. The Encyclopedia of Sexism in American Films discusses her, especially in contrast to Tess Trueheart. Madonna as Postmodern Myth: How One Star's Self-Construction Rewrites Sex, Gender, Hollywood and the American Dream has quite a bit about Madonna's portrayal (in terms of how the character comes across, not just acting). Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 22:44, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Note: I felt some of the sources that have been cited in this AFD discuss the character in greater depth than some of the votes indicate. So to try to illustrate this, I expanded the article slightly, particularly trying to show that there is more to say about this character than simply plot summary, but there is also some historical context and thematic analysis to be had here. Please note this is NOT meant to be the full extent to which this article can be improved, but only a bit of expansion from the handful of sources found so far. I am confident there are other sources that could be found with further searching, but I don't have time to go full WP:HEY and expand this one anymore right now because I have other wiki-priorities I need to focus on. Still though, I think the expansion that has occurred so far more than shows the article meets notability requirements and should be kept. (Note: Toughpigs, my edits may have conflicted a bit with your own, so if so, I apologize, and feel free to add back anything.) — Hunter Kahn 23:57, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Withdraw. User:Hunter Kahn and User:Toughpigs have squeezed more of those sources than I thought would be possible. I could nitpick some stuff, but... I don't think it would be productive. If the article was in its current shape I would neither nominate it for deletion nor endorse it. Good job. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:14, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Another buzzword soup article about a vaguely defined and poorly explained topic that is not backed up by the single source in it. After the first five words, the entire content is original research and something of a how-to guide.

- Delete I don't think it is buzzword soup, rather the content is a poor summary of the single source; the mentioned laws and performance ratios are verifiable in the (rather well-known) paper cited. That said, the paper is about operational analysis of queueing networks, not "performance operational analysis". That title seems to be made up and a synthesis of this type of operational analysis with performance engineering, a broader topic in IT. This particular topic doesn't seem to have coverage in RS and thus counts as original research. We probably could and should have an article on OA of queueing systems, but this article isn't it. Without RS backing it up, I recommend deletion. --

- The article is about a sub-tribe of the Baloch people. Each tribe traditionally traces its (real or imagined) genealogy from a single (semi)-legendary ancestor, hence the confusing mention of a person in the first sentence. As far as I can see, this is too small a subtribe to warrant having a separate article. – Uanfala (talk) 16:02, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Although Kollam is large enough that we would likely accept its mayors as notable if the articles were substantive and well-sourced, there is no city in the world where mayors are handed an automatic notability freebie just for existing as mayors without regard to their substance and sourcing. If all you can do is write that she exists, the end, and all you can show for sourcing is one article about her initial appointment to the role and three glancing namechecks of her existence in articles that aren't about her, then you have not gotten her over the notability bar that mayors have to pass.

- Redirect to a suitable article about the municipal corporation should be good here. Mayors in India are generally heads of the municipal corporation body. This is important information to keep, but not necessarily as a standalone article. May I suggest to redirect this article to a page about the Kollam Municipal Corporation?
