- Delete Nothing seems compelling with the sourcing or company that passes notability standards. That they won the TEC Awards a bunch of times is mah and there's nothing else in the article except that they exist. The article has also been mainly edited COI editors and it continued after multiple accounts where blocked. The company should have gotten it after the first account was blocked and went through the proper process to edit the article. Even without that though, it still doesn't seem notable. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:16, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

The article notes:
Over Three Decades of Sonic Innovation: Two years after celebratings its 30th anniversary, Santa Monica-based Apogee Electronics continues its trademark audio innovation. The company made its name designing filters that solved many of the initial problems associated with digital audio. Companies like Sony and Mitsubishi began using Apogee's conversation filters in their larger systems — which led to a substantial difference in sound quality.
The result was a more accurate conversion of a musician's performance. Apogee became an innovator in making studio quality recording available to users at all levels, from multi-channel installation in a commercial facility to personal audio interface in a home environment. Today, its converters and audio interfaces are regarded as the reference standard in the industry, as evidenced by their use on recordings by Lady Gaga, The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, The Chainsmokers, Foo Fighters, Beyonce, Alabama Shakes and Ryan Tedder. [quote from Apogee employee].

The article notes:
The article includes quotes from people affiliated with Apogee Electronics.Pro audio has always had its share of boutique companies, many dealing with high-end analog products. In a world where technology is constantly changing, the survival of a small company specializing in digital products is unusual. However, Apogee Electronics is not your usual company.
Apogee made its debut with the 944 filters
The company began in 1985 with a conversation among three industry veterans: Bruce Jackson (now with Lake Technology), a top live sound engineer noted for his years of mixing Bruce Springsteen, Swiss digital designer Christof Heidelberger (now founder/CTO of BridgeCo) and Betty Bennett, then president of Soundcraft USA.
...
With the idea of marketing replacement anti-aliasing filters designed and manufactured by Heidelberg, Jackson and Bennett, they founded Apogee Electronics in December of 1985.
A year later, Apogee made its debut at the 1986 AES show in L.A. In a small, out-of-the-way booth, Jackson demonstrated the effect of Apogee’s 944 Series low-dispersion, linear phase active lowpass filters retrofitted into a few channels of a Sony PCM-3324 24-track digital machine. Using an oscilloscope, Jackson ran square waves into the deck. The waves that were routed through Apogee’s anti-aliasing filters looked like square waves; the waves coming from the 3324’s stock filters looked like watermelons. Clearly, something was very wrong with digital and very right with the 944s.

The article notes:
Those not well versed with the world of professional audio may not be familiar with the name Apogee. Founded in 1985, Apogee Electronics is highly regarded by audio professionals and recording musicians for its advanced, high-performance AD/DA converters and audio interfaces. Apogee’s award-winning audio interface, the Symphony, is widely considered to be a reference standard in major recording studios around the world.

The article notes:
Apogee Electronics were founded in 1985, right at the dawn of the pro‑audio digital age, and initially made a name for themselves making replacement anti‑alias and reconstruction filter blocks for the leading digital recorders of the day. Back then, the delta‑sigma converters that are ubiquitous today weren't even on the drawing board, and making baseband analogue brick‑wall filters that didn't sound utterly horrendous was a serious challenge. However, the technology quickly moved on, and the demand for third‑party filters disappeared quickly, so Apogee moved into manufacturing complete digital audio converters and, later, master clocks. The company also came up with their unique UV22 dithering algorithm and helped lead the way into noise‑shaped word‑length reduction.
I still own and use a PSX100 two‑channel converter, which I value as much for its clever signal routing and formatting capabilities as its converter quality, which is still quite respectable 12 years on. In more recent years, the Rosetta and X‑Series continued Apogee's reputation for high-quality converters, and the company have also moved progressively away from conventional stand‑alone converters and towards fully‑fledged computer interfaces. However, Apogee took the decision some years ago to restrict their development to only support Apple Mac systems (10.5.8 and above, in fact), much to the frustration of the PC fraternity, including me!

The article notes:
Apogee Electronics stellt seit 1985 professionelle Audio-Geräte her. Bekannt ist die US-amerikanische Firma vor allem für die Entwicklung von hochwertigen Audio-Interfaces und Wandlern.
Die kalifornische Firma wurde 1985 von Betty Bennett, Bruce Jackson und Christof Heidelberger gegründet. Das erste Gerät war das Active Filter Model 944-G. Dieser Anti-Aliasing-Filter brachte die wärme in digitale Musik-Produktionen dieser Zeit. Für die Innovation bekam die Firma den TEC Award. 1991 wurde der AD-500 & DA-1000 veröffentlicht. Das war der erste Stand-Alone digatal Konverter überhaupt. Sechs Jahre später brachte Apogee den AD-8000 auf den Markt. Es war das erste Mehrkanal-Audio-Interface mit 24 Bit Auflösung. Im darauf folgenden Jahr entwickelte Apogee die AmBus HD Card, welche den AD-8000 direkt mit Pro Tools verbinden konnte. Im Jahre 2000 gab es dann ein weiteren TEC Award für den Trak 2. Dieses Gerät war der erste hochauflösende Konverter und Mikrofonverstärker für Pro Tools.

It was the first standalone digatal converter ever. Six years later, Apogee launched the AD-8000. It was the first multi-channel audio interface with 24 bit resolution. The following year Apogee developed the AmBus HD Card, which was able to connect the AD-8000 directly to Pro Tools. In 2000 there was another TEC Award for the Trak 2. This device was the first high-resolution converter and microphone amplifier for Pro Tools.

Scant coverage doesn't point to notability. Of the five sources provided, I don't have access to two, but the others confer no sense of notability. One of them is to an older article in Het Laatste Nieuws, in which I found a couple of other articles mentioning his name, but only in passing. I find no other significant, independent coverage of him. Google Scholar cites a number of papers co-written by a Bart van de Ven also from Ghent, but that Bart van de Ven's field is psychology.

Non notable actor, currently the only external link is IMDB. I have completed WP:BEFORE and cannot find anything substantial.
This was first nominated for AfD in 2010, when it was deemed that his “cult status” in Jackass made him “notable”. There appear to be no substantial sources to back up this claim. Looking through his IMDb credits, it’s clear that all of his other roles were minor or uncredited.

This article has been deleted thrice before (twice prodded for failing GNG; once for copyvio) and has recently been subject of an edit war over which unsourced version is preferable. Searching for sources, I find only trivial mentions in unreliable sources such as this website, book published by ISHA and another book titled Freedom Struggle of 1857 published by "Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd" that I cannot link to since it is on the spam-blacklist. All three sources copy freely from each other despite supposedly having different authors and publishers (ISHA Books is known for such practices of copying content from wikipedia etc and publishing books with apparently fictitious authors and editors).

- Delete: As the nominator has mentioned, there is very little online that mentions Pran Sukh Yadav in any great detail. Any sources that do talk about him are unreliable. Until new and more reliable sources come to light, there is little reason for this article to remain up. Even the only source on this article is a broken link. He seems to be more of a mythical folk hero than an actual figure. Many claim that he was a general in the Sikh army but I can find no Sikh sources that mention him.YaRaabAlHind (talk) 20:40, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

- @HinduKshatrana: None of the references you added are helpful in establishing notability. One is a search listing for 'Pran' on a news website, which brings up links related to the famous actor Pran; another is a 'circular' ref publishing articles from wikipedia; the third is a generic non-reliable website containing a trivial reference to Pran Sukh Yadav
(Besides his Indian generals such as Hari Singh Nalwa, Pran Sukh Yadav, Gurmukh Singh Lamba, Dewan Mokham Chand, and Veer Singh Dillon, he employed Europeans in his army.)
) I couldn't find any mention of Pran Sukh Yadav in this book you cited (see full text here) or find proper bibliographical information for the other cited book. - To avoid playing whack-a-mole with more sources, can you please read WP:HISTRS for the kind of sources we are looking for and, if they are not accessible online, provide relevant quotes so that we can judge how deeply they discuss the article's subject?

- Keep. Yes, the article is currently poorly referenced, but he is a series regular on a major TV show, and there are numerous news items about him in the role. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:26, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
Weak DeleteWeak Keep: The subject needs at least two significant roles in notable productions, as per WP:NACTOR. His role in EastEnders certainly counts as one, but I can't see any others—unless it can be shown that the production of Mamma Mia! he was in was notable. Ssilvers, you have voted to "Keep"—have you found any coverage on that production? Dflaw4 (talk) 07:52, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Smith played a smaller role in Mamma Mia!'s long-running London production, but he understudied Sky, a bigger role. He also performed on television in the Laurence Olivier Awards broadcasts in 2013 and 2014. The article doesn't mention his concert at the Palladium, which could be added. Since 2016, he has been guest-starring steadily on TV. His role in Doctors in 2018 was the leading role of the episode on which he guest-starred. EastEnders is his first role as a series regular, but it has drawn interest, and it seems seems silly to delete the article when, objectively, it is almost certain that he will have more significant TV roles. I'd say that this is a case where the letter of WP:NACTOR should bow to the general spirit of the notability rules. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:50, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Update: Based on Ssilvers' comments, I have upgraded my vote to a "Weak Keep", despite the article being a little bit on the WP:TOOSOON side of things. Dflaw4 (talk) 12:49, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - This is WP:TOOSOON.
- He just started on the show in 2019, and although it seems like a popular show, he doesn't even appear in the EastEnders page as a listed character (or on the Mamma Mia! page as an actor).
- I don't think it means much that he was an understudy for a main part in Mamma Mia!; that doesn't make him notable.
- Having a concert also does not confer notability.
- Notability requires significant coverage in reliable secondary sources; a lot of his news references feel like tabloid (see WP:SBST).
- If his career picks up and he gets more notable parts, then an article in the future might be warranted, but delete for now. Ikjbagl (talk) 02:00, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

- Keep I believe the community being 'small' isn't a parameter to determine notability, because immigrant populations can increase or decrease over time. A community which has a small population may have had a larger population in the past. What should matter is the sources discussing the subject. Currently it appears to indicate that there was once a decent Pakistani population in this part of Africa, so the article could still discuss the subject in past tense.

Promotional article that fails GNG and NARTIST. There are no independent Reliable Sources that offer significant coverage the subject. Almost all sources are Primary. Was deleted three times on Italian Wikipedia [16] for promotion.
This article is part of a cluster of articles associated with La Pergola Arte, which I will be nominating all at once, and will explain that cluster here (but not on every single deletion nomination). They have been created by two SPA accounts Arenavittorio and Amazingart67. Most of these articles derive their notability from the "literary competition "Lilly Brogi La Pergola Arte" award," for which I could find no WP:RS. I will be nominating the cluster of articles:
- Lilly Brogi
- Peter Michael Musone
- Vincenzo Vavuso
- La Pergola Arte
- Giancarlo Bianchi
- Mario Fantini
- Matilde Calamai
- Ornella Fiorentini
- Gino Broletti
- Daniele Menicucci
- Umberto Allori
- Alfredo Vernacotola
- Nicola Giusfredi
I have flagged Claudio Kevo Cavallini, Mauro Montacchiesi, and Anna Balsamo for notability, but have not deleted -- others may choose to do so, especially if they can evaluate the sources in italian.
I have cross-referenced Italian Wikipedia: The majority of these subjects have been deleted from Italian Wikipedia for notability and promotion: [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], No articles on La Pergola Arte, Alfredo Vernacotola, and Nicola Giusfredi were attempted to be created on Italian Wikipedia.
I first noticed this cluster of articles two years ago, and flagged many of them at the time. I have followed them, and not seen any improvement. Despite what seems like a major bulk delete, I have been careful to look at each of these over time. Theredproject (talk) 17:05, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

The article is sourced only to IMDb which is not a reliable source. My search for other sources came up with directory listings and the non-reliable Find a Grave, but no sources providing indepth coverage. The unticle has been tagged as unsourced since 2014, and has existed for 13 years. Wikipedia is not meant to be a directory of every person who ever had a credited part in a film. We need reliable secondary sources to show that people actually had impactful acting careers. The number of articles on actors and actresses sourced only to IMDb is staggering, and the refusal to accept that as reasonable grounds to prod delete articles, and the refusal of those who remoal the proposed deletion tags from articles to add any other sourced besides IMDb in the process means we are currently in a situation where we have lots of under sourced articles on actors and actresses. Many of these are not much more than bare filmographies which is its ownproblem. John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Page seems to fail WP:BASIC. The subject seems to fall under WP:BIO1E, with almost all coverage centering on a Huffpost article from 2009. In a related manner, there is a lack of WP:SUSTAINED coverage, with most appearing near the 2009 date.
My review of the seemingly strongest sources show that they do not cover all necessary criteria to support notability. Interviews tend to be short and promotional, with no in-depth coverage by secondary figures. (There are also some in which Ambler plays a more 'expert' role, but these don't contribute to notability). Jlevi (talk) 16:04, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Note the usual recruiting of huge anti-fans here: Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Harold_Ambler, and the removal of secondary sourcing leading up to this Afd.[26] Ambler has been covered from 2009 through 2017, in numerous independent, reliable sources (as well as many less reliable blog type secondary sources). Ambler's 2009 piece "Mr. Gore: Apology Accepted" was the third-most e-mailed blogger piece on The Huffington Post for more than 18 months. His 2009 book, Ever True: The History of Brown Crew, got attention on TV and radio (and is referenced in Wikipedia). His 2011 book, Don't Sell Your Coat, was endorsed by Freeman Dyson (and others): "How did the good politics of social justice become chained to the bad science of global warming? Read Don't Sell Your Coat to find out." - Freeman Dyson. In 2012 he was interviewed extensively about his background, books, controversies, science and politics views, etc. on WBLQ radio, and on MRC TV. Not only is there significant secondary coverage, but there is (I think it's called) tertiary coverage of his TV appearance, in a report by Union of Concerned Scientists.[27] In 2009, 2012, and 2013 he was on Fox TV several times for several minutes each for interviews about his views, books, politics, controversies, etc. In 2014 he was a speaker at the Libertarian party National convention. In 2017 his views were covered in a paragraph in The_Spokesman-Review, about equally with Allan_Savory, Michael Crichton and Joel Salatin, as examples of climate skeptics.[28] Ambler got significant attention (pages) in independent books in 2010 and 2014. Plus he has a music career from 2007 to ~present, with some notice in independent reliable sources. So, WP:NOTTEMPORARY, but this looks more like WP:SUSTAINED to me anyway. WP:BLP1E is "often misapplied" as it is being misapplied here - See Wikipedia:Who_is_a_low-profile_individual. -- Yae4 (talk) 17:25, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Videos and audios are worth thousands of words, so the following videos, and one book at the end: 2009, ~5.5 minutes on Fox News Red Eye re: Ambler's blog, HuffPost piece, why, what happened, his background and experiences, whether people take science and climate seriously, his wife's reaction, musician with interest in sports and climate, celebrities and qualifications, his book Ever True: History of Brown Crew and connection with climate interest, mentions his future book on climate, background as rower and surfer.[29] 2012, 5 minutes on Fox Business, Varney and Co. re: book Don't Sell Your Coat, affects on his ability to publish, why a skeptic, what he did to investigate, credentials, celebritites, historical climate perspective, answering questions from 3 panelists, family, environment, pollution, etc.[30] 2012, almost 5 minutes Fox Business, Varney and Co. re: Celebrities Posing as Environmental Experts, influence, pollution, climate trends and calls for reduced CO2 emissions, clarifying CO2 effects and magnitudes in historical context, Keystone pipeline, big oil and fuel benefits, 3rd world, travel.[31] 2012, 22 Minutes on Spatharakis' radio show on WBLQ, re: background, Don't Sell Your Coat, background, Q/A...[32] 2012, 24 Minutes on Spatharakis' radio show on WBLQ, re: Music career, performing, Q/A, move to Austin and return, connections with climate skepticism reactions... [33] 2012, 3 minutes (2:20-5:15) on MRC TV discussing H. Clinton's visit to the Artic, and climate-related history and manipulation of perceptions, etc.[34] 2013, 2.5+ minutes on Fox Business, called a "sensible environmentalist," answered questions and discussed tar sands oil extraction and CO2, Keystone pipeline, Nasa/Hansen, carbon footprints versus moral footprints, benefits of low cost fossil fuels for poor people.[35] and 2014, 3 pages coverage in book The Joy of Hate.[36] -- Yae4 (talk) 19:25, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Here is a more concise, limited set of sources, in chronological order, showing 5+ years of significant, independent coverage. (Claims of "copyvio" issues with a couple links are being dealt with.)
- 2009 HuffPost piece. Signficant, independent coverage at HuffPost and elsewhere.
- 2009 First book published, Ever True History of Brown Crew. Referenced at Brown Crew.
- 2009 5.5 minutes interview on Fox News Red Eye.[45]
- 2011 Second book published, Don't Sell Your Coat.
- 2012 5 minutes on Fox Business, Varney and Co.[46]
- 2012, 46 minutes on Spatharakis' radio show[47][48] on WBLQ, in high population region.[49][50]
- 2012 3 minutes (2:20-5:15) on MRC TV re H. Clinton.[51]
- 2013, 2.5+ minutes on Fox Business, re Keystone pipeline.[52]
- 2014, 3 pages independent coverage in book, The Joy of Hate.[53]
These cover Ambler's personal life, personal experiences, and personal motivations for developing both books. The subject of these interviews is Ambler, and the coverage spans both of his books. Books are not "events", and in any case, Ambler has written two notable books, not one. Ambler is also not a low-profile individual, as he has given interviews to notable broadcasts including Fox News and WBLQ, and professionally performs music. -- Yae4 (talk) 03:01, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- I will cover these in order.
- Huffpost: Not intrinsically notable, and notability of an article is not the same as notability of its author. Which of these provides significant coverage Ambler as an individual? Of those, which comes from a reliable source? And are they independent?
- A book is not intrinsically notable, its notability does not necessarily confer notability to its author, and it would be a primary source with respect to Ambler. Most related materials appear promotional.
- 2009 Red Eye interview: This diff
- second book: similar to the first book
- Fox Business: I can't get this video to load. Could you perhaps provide timestamps for secondary coverage from the interviewer? It's highly likely to have the same promotional/fanboy problems of the Red Eye interview
- 2012 radio shows: As shown by our discussion on interview notability, this is a tricky piece of the puzzle, and should not stand without consideration. Are you able to address the questions raised in the discussion above?
- MRCTV is just a video hosting site (I think?). The Weather Wise-Guys would need to be evaluated separately as a source, and this probably falls under WP:USERGEN. Haven't looked into it, however.
- Joy of Hate: Alongside the long interviews, this is the other source that might help support a keep position. Note that the primary focus of the piece is the Huffpost event, though some other details are mentioned in the first paragraph. In addition, the source is pretty clearly
- So the three pieces that need to be carefully evaluated are the two long interviews and Joy of Hate. In addition, there may be some source elided from the above list. Those are my quick comments. Jlevi (talk) 03:31, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

- What are the ones that nail it for you, as an experienced Wikipedian? - David Gerard (talk) 21:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - This one is tough because Ambler has indeed received coverage that is about him, but I find the nominator's argument more convincing. As a published writer, Ambler can be evaluated under WP:NJOURNALIST / WP:NAUTHOR which requires not just getting published, but having your publications recognized by others as significant contributions to the field. His news work is typical reporting and opinionating just like many other non-notable writers. His Don't Sell Your Coat book indeed received coverage, especially from media sources slanted toward climate change denial, but that coverage is almost entirely short and promotional. (While it's a little off-topic, see also WP:NBOOK which requires non-trivial notice.) As for Ambler's other press coverage, he got noticed and quoted and briefly interviewed by a fair amount of denial-oriented media for that one controversial column in Huff Post in 2009, but that came and went, so WP:BIO1E applies as well. Again, I consider this article to be a close call, but in the debate above, the article's supporters are only perpetuating its main problems -- trying to promote a fringe individual and blaming vague conspiracies for the subject's own insignificance. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:55, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete The arguments for keep depend on mis-application of notability standards and effectively come down to WP:ILIKEIT and WP:ITSIMPORTANT while the arguments for deletion are based on serious deficiencies in the sources. The assertion that having "the third-most emailed piece in 18 months" is notable matches no criterion I've ever seen here, for example. Using a book cover blurb as evidence of notability verges on indiscriminate fanboyism. Despite great effort and great argumentation, the notability of the article subject rests on his writings, which are not covered in a significant way by reliable sources. The coverage that has been presented that is significant is not reliable, and vice versa. There are no relevant targets for redirect or merging. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 15:09, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Eggishorn, That quote is also a (too subtle) reference to cartoonist Cook and blogger Nuccitelli's paper that "was the most downloaded paper for that week across all Institute of Physics' journals,[18]" which was deemed worthy of mention, while not mentioning the paper needed correction, twice.

- There is a difference between whether an article should be created at all and whether certain details should be contained in the article. The first is a question of WP:notability. The when asking whether a particular detail about a notable topic is itself WP:NOTEWORTHY, that is a matter of WP:DUE weight and other content policies. A deletion discussion is one primarily of WP:Notability by various measures. Jlevi (talk) 17:09, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete The painting that is in the collection of the Springville Museum of Art, Sampson Before the Apophysis of the Philistines [56] is a donation from "Anthony's Fine Art and Antiques", who appear to "represent" the artist, although it is not cleqr to me that he has a gallery in the traditional sense. Most of his sales seem to be (inkjet) prints that he sells through his website. Their biography claims that "his award winning paintings have appeared in various publications and museums". Brickleys website makes the exact same claim. I have not been able to find any evidence that this amounts to something that satisfies WP:NARTIST. The award mentioned in the article, Visitors' Choice Award in the 2009 International Art Competition of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not notable. The Herald Extra , here: [57] makes brief mention of Brickey winning first-place at the Freedom Festival Fine Art Exhibit at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo. That too, is not "a well-known and significant award", per WP:ANYBIO. The databases I have consulted show no secondary market for his work; I see no significant exhibitions in public galleries or museums, nor a monograph. Vexations (talk) 16:48, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

First things first this song was only ever a bonus track or "hidden" track on some copes of the album it was from. That for a start means it is not that notable. The information provided by the sources seem to repeatedly describe how the band leader "was pissed off" and so trashed their instruments and the studio while still being recorded. apart from the other releases where it appears as a b-side and on a rarities box set, I really don't see how this conforms to Wikipedia:Notability (music) QuintusPetillius (talk) 14:58, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect - The song doesn't appear to be notable in and of itself. I agree. This should go to the parent album. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 16:58, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Is every song on an extremely iconic album notable, even a hidden one? I think so. Few albums deserve an article for every song, but this is probably one of them. It is also informative and reliably sourced. Caro7200 (talk) 18:21, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Caro7200: no, the song doesn't have WP:INHERITED notability from its parent album... it has to pass WP:NSONG on its own merits. Richard3120 (talk) 21:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Richard3120: It is not a case of strictly--or only--inherited notability . . . iconic albums are by definition made up of notable songs in a way that merely classic or excellent ones are not. The text of the article, and its sources, demonstrate notability, in my opinion. My "vote" is still keep. Caro7200 (talk) 21:50, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- But that doesn't mean that every song on a "classic" album will necessarily merit its own article, or indeed that it will be possible to find enough material to create an article for each individual song. Richard3120 (talk) 00:34, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Even in the context of the broader album, this is a mere bonus track that's not known for having any particular aspects that really stand out. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:56, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- It's not a bonus track . . . it's a "hidden" one. Or better phrased, an unlisted one. The listener doesn't have to expend any additional energy to hear it--she or he just needs to wait out the silence. This is a mostly well-written, informative, referenced, well-viewed article that has been around since 2005 . . . not sure why it's become such a deletion "priority." And as the Rolling Stone article states, "Thanks to Nevermind, these sort of hidden tracks would remain popular until WinAmp and its descendents revealed track lengths before the listener pressed play."

KeepWeak Delete - the article could certainly do with some more work but editors have made attempts in recent days to improve the article, and the Forbes piece seems substantial. Gay Star News, QX magazine and Out.com are respected LGBT news outlets. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 04:11, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- No, this is a contributor piece, this is basically just a mention and not at all coverage, this is almost identical save for a few words to gay star news, which means its probably a press release, but even if not, it's just an announcement and this is just an interview. So 0 coverage. Praxidicae (talk) 14:35, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Cardiffbear88's assessment. There are enough RS for this subject to pass notability. --Kbabej (talk) 14:08, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Prax is spot-on - that Forbes piece is written by a contributor, it is UGC, and is therefore not reliable and confers no notability. The other sources are press releases, soft-soap interviews and passing mentions. This is spam. GirthSummit (blether) 14:52, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, per Praxidicae. Simply put, WP:CORPDEPTH is not met by press releases and paid-for articles on Forbes. "Forbes", really, considering the reliability of contributor pieces relative to real Forbes content. "Fauxrbes"? Maybe. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 15:00, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- More sources found - almost every respectable LGBT news organisation I can find has an editorial piece on this company, plus there are lots of in depth analysis pieces. Here’s a selection: Editorial and interview at New York Fashion Week, analysis in a fashion magazine, editorial in a business magazine, another LGBT website, another business website, another business website, another LGBT website. Yes, there are lots of paid articles but these seem to me to be editorially independent and based on the popularity of the company and its success particularly at New York Fashion Week. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 15:51, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Most of those are press releases combined with interviews and not coverage. As for some of your other sources, if you bother to look critically at them, 3 of them are blatantly fake black hat SEO "news" sites and thus unreliable. Ie. bestinau and dailyscanner are both completely fake sites operated by a black hat firm that promotes fake press for their clients. Sites like Elucid Magazine might not be fake but they're certainly not known for editorial oversight nor do they have the level of readership to establish notability for the same reason a local podunk news outlet doesn't establish notability. And this website which is invested in marketing and promoting clients is definitely not a reliable source to establish notability and it's also operated by the same black hat seo firm(s) the first two I pointed out are. Praxidicae (talk) 15:56, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- The fact that certain ones I was unaware were on the black list aside, I would ask you to remain WP:CIVIL. Even placing those aside, there are enough sources here to demonstrate WP:GNG. There is nothing in WP:GNG to suggest that readership numbers, niche magazines or local news can’t contribute towards notability, especially when the subject is covered in multiple sources independently. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 16:07, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- What about my comments was uncivil? And no, you're incorrect, none of the sources you've provided have coverage and in fact, most of the sources you've provided should be blacklisted as they are intentionally deceptive and run by, again, black hat SEO firms. (Since apparently I need to spell it out, my comments about the sources have nothing to do with you, it's about the source and the firms promoting this brand.) As far as Elucid goes, please tell me what their history is wrt editorial oversight and reliability, or perhaps who the author is of this piece? Was it endorsed by their editorial board? Do they have an editorial board? Praxidicae (talk) 16:12, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Cardiffbear88, GNG isn't what we're discussing here - we're discussing NCORP. Randomly clicking on three of the 'new sources' you found, I saw one which was actually labelled as an advertisement, a passing mention on someone's blog, and an obvious press release republished without so much as a byline. These sources are miles away from meeting the requirements. GirthSummit (blether) 16:16, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Girth Summit and in digging more into my suspicions about Elucid, we should be blacklisting it at this point rather than considering whether it's readership is relevant. It doesn't bode well when the only identified staff on their website, in this case, their editor in chief, is openly soliciting these deceptive practices on fiverr...(i tried to link but fiverr is blacklisted) Praxidicae (talk) 16:24, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Praxidicae, I'm inclined to agree with you. I'm not au fait with the blacklisting process, but would support any such suggestion. GirthSummit (blether) 16:28, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- OK I’ve changed my vote. Praxidicae your tone has not been particularly civil during this exchange and I would ask you to WP:AGF in these discussions. Phrases such as “if you bother to look...”, “Since apparently I need to spell it out...” and “And no, you're incorrect...” demonstrates a needlessly aggressive tone when I’m trying to engage in constructive discussion, and this is not the first time I’ve felt it in your AfD contributions. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 16:37, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Cardiffbear88, thanks for being willing to reconsider your position. FWIW, I think Prax could probably have worded a few statements differently in the interests of collegiality. Please recognise though the huge amount of work she does keeping covert spam off our project - that's frustrating work, and frustration sometimes leads to blunt turns of phrase. I'm glad we've all ended up in the same boat. GirthSummit (blether) 20:06, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Recently created page about a Greek family, apparently by an account with an autobiographical COI. Despite superficial appearances, nothing of this is properly sourced - wikilinks go to pages that don't even mention the item in question, book links go to works that mention the general events in question but not the specific people allegedly acting in them. The only potentially legitimate source is a local historian from the 1950s who may have mentioned one family member as playing a role in the local village history of the mid-19th century. All the rest is just unpublished or self-published "family archives". Nothing that would establish clear notability of any one member of the family, let along notability of the family as a whole.

Hi guys. As the editor who wrote the article I'm actually ok with this and acknowledge all the above points. This was a draft for some time and only moved it here after I became autoconfirmed to gather more feedback from other editors (not much feedback for draft pages out there). I understand it doesn’t fit all the criteria but as a personal favour for the future can I ask exactly where things went wrong with the sources? I know I botched this one but it’s important to understand that it wasn’t intentional and I did this mostly for practice for better future articles on other subjects. This family are actually relatives of mine and it was my first historical project after I tried to complete my own family tree for years. I didn’t embellish anything and all the things I wrote are real but how exactly could I present them better? Is it the language barrier of the sources or the content of the sources themselves? Also what’s an ideal source for the names of the family members if not the registry office of their country of origin? Are there better ways to prove their relation and more importantly their existence? Thanks in advance and sorry for taking up your time with all this. Please don't yell at me, I come in peace.

- Delete As a gesture of good will I’m going to speed up the process and vote for the deletion of the article since I am unable to find information in the British and American encyclopaedias mentioned above and that’s proof enough that maybe writing this page was a mistake. Again I’d like to point out that this was a practice project for me, I didn’t do it in bad faith or to make Wikipedia a less informative place and that I will take the feedback received here and be a better editor in the future. If you’re reading this I encourage you to vote for deletion too so we can put this to bed. I’m the one who created the article in the first place so if I couldn’t find any English sources chances are you won’t find them either so let’s kill this one and move on. Thanks for your time and for your advice regarding sources. CapJoe2 (talk | contrib) (ping me) 07:18, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't think the subject warrants a stand-alone article.

From just one publication I have found a dozen references to the Martin Ski Bowl/Husky Chalet in the Cle Elum Miner Echo, Tacoma News Tributes, and Seattle Times. The Husky Chalet wasn't outshined by local neighbors because there was no patronage competition. The Husky Chalet was owned and operated by UW students for use by members of their ski club.

Here is just one research document littered with references that is publicly accessible at the moment. There's also a few books that I don't have the titles for right now because ironically, they're out at a ski lodge in Martin. When I have access again, I'll collect titles and ISBNs. In the meantime, I've added a bunch of Seattle Times citations, not because they're especially good ones, but because they demonstrate the material exists. Mattsim (talk) 00:41, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. According to IMDb, all three of the films named in this article are ones in which he played minor supporting characters — in not a single one of them does his name appear above IMDb's "See full cast" cutoff, in one his character doesn't even have a name and in the other two his character was not significant enough to even be mentioned in our article about the films. These are clearly not "significant" roles for the purposes of NACTOR #1 — and even if they were, NACTOR still requires reliable source coverage about the actor and his performances before it actually gets passed, which is entirely absent.

- Weak Keep: It's astonishing (to me, anyway) that an actor with so many credits under his belt would struggle to meet the notability criteria. I am basing my vote on a very, very weak case for WP:NACTOR as well as some sources that I have found at newspapers.com. I have applied for them to be clipped at WP:RX and am not sure if they are relevant or helpful, but will post them here as soon as I get them. I will then update my vote accordingly. Dflaw4 (talk) 04:12, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Here are the articles; I presume they all refer to this Andrew Johnston, but I can't be sure: here, here and here. Dflaw4 (talk) 13:46, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- To even consider keeping him we need to actually put the articles as sources on the page. Also, we need to know for sure they all refer to the same person.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:25, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, none of those clippings are bolstering the case much; most importantly, as noted by John Pack Lambert, there's no actual verification present that those three clippings are even all referring to the same person — neither "Andrew" nor "Johnston" are rare enough names that we can simply assume that any source that mentions an actor named Andrew Johnston is guaranteed to be referring to this Andrew Johnston, so we would need sources that more clearly establish that they're talking about the same person. Secondly, even if we accepted that they are the same person, NACTOR still isn't just looking for verification that roles were had — we need sources that are strongly enough about him and his performances to verify that the roles were significant in some way, not just sources that mention his name in passing. Bearcat (talk) 21:13, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- I share your concerns, John Pack Lambert and Bearcat. The photo in one of the articles does match his photos on IMDb, however, so that's a start, and I refined my searches to Canadian actors as well. Further verification is still strongly preferred, though. I'll stand by my "Weak Keep" vote at the moment, and will wait and see what other editors have to say. I can provide more sources, too, but the same verification issues will likely arise. And, John, if the article were to be kept, I would certainly add the sources.

- Comment It would seem that Forbes is, first and foremost, a theatre actor; secondly, an audiobook narrator; and has worked on film and in television from time to time. If the additions I have made to the page don't sway voters or the admin closing this, I'd like to bring up that the subject has dozens of audiobook credits that have not been considered and that there is an Audible session with the author of many of the books he's narrated. I've been busy in AfD these past few days and I must second Silvers's request for thoughtful, intensive BEFOREs, especially for BLPs of people who have worked in multiple mediums. It's important to search for performers by the titles of the works they've been in... and go to media databases for pre-internet era coverage. I would also encourage nominators to add what they've found in their BEFORE to the article or to the AfD discussion--otherwise we don't know what has not been found or what the nominator has considered and finds to be not enough.

Deprodded. Not seeing what makes him notable (likely fail of WP:NBIO). Sources are very poor - few mentions in passing in family tree, company websites, and such. BEFORE shows very little (don't confuse him with his father Thomas Cobbold (1680–1752) that gets a little bit more coverage and has borderline notability). Bottom line, he doesn't seem to have done anything that meets NBIO, and sources don't discuss his life in more than a passing 2-3 sentences. At best this could be merged to the article about his father, unless anyone can find a better place to retain this content?

- Keep: As User:Piotrus has noted before, sometimes this Thomas has been confused with father, Thomas Cobbold (1680–1752). This conflation has meant that often sources are unclear that it was this Thomas who moved the brewery to Ipswich, following which the Cobbolds became a very significant family in Ipswich. This is also confirmed by Diego Ricchiuti when working on The Vernon Project for Ipswich Borough Council (See Research: The Cobbold family] done while Diego was a student in Ipswich. As regards both Thomas Cobbold's he remarks: "For the first two members, there are only few information that can be found and confirmed, mainly because they were important figure in Suffolk but not England hero as Vernon." Baring in mind Diego's focus of research is connections with Admiral Vernon, it seems likely there is materially to be found as regards Cobbold's significant impact on the urban development of Ipswich. However, I am afraid my personal library is not really up to the job of supporting this, and thanks to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, local public library resources are not currently open. Thus I would suggest that we have a pause in this discussion until after the current lockdown restrictions are sufficiently lifted to gain access to suitable reference resources.Leutha (talk) 09:20, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Addendum: As Thomas senior founded the second oldest independent brewery in England it is hard to see why his notability should be considered borderline. The sort of sources available locally include Frank Woolnough's Souvenir of the bi-centenary of the Cliff Brewery 1723–1923 (1923), which although written nearly a hundred years ago is a good source. As we approach the tri-centenary of the Cobbold brewing business it strikes me that Wikipedia would be falling down in its remit not to have suitable pages on all the notable members of this significant Ipswich family.Leutha (talk) 09:47, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - This is not an article about a film, it is an article that summarises key points about three films in a franchise. Thus, it is expected that it would contain content found in the individual articles and thus, WP:NFILM may not be relevant here. Note also how List of Star Trek films and television series addresses the franchise, with summaries of content found in other articles. Not every article subject requires independent notability.

- This is bound to happen because of the same film titles. It is "passing mention" to the series, not significant coverage. The most important thing here is, they are not even sequels. They are just random films containing similar star cast, and titles. The stories are differet, and even the characters portrayed by actors are different.

- Keep - It is correct that interviews and press releases don't confer notability. However, I'm not convinced that the series needs to have secondary coverage specifically about the fact that it is a series in order for there to be a page for the series. It would seem that the series has notability if each individual episode is notable enough for an article. And I disagree with the idea that there needs to be a common story for it to be a series; it is common for a series to have different plots throughout its episodes, with actors playing different roles in each episode. As an example, take the series American Horror Story; each season has a different plot and the actors play different characters. The stories don't necessarily have anything to do with each other. However, it is still clearly a series, as you can tell by the fact that the same people are involved and the titles imply a series. Here, you have three titles implying a series (How Cool We Are > How Super Cool We Are > How Cool We Are 3) and many of the same people working on the movies. It's clearly a series, each episode is notable, I don't see why we wouldn't allow a page for this. Ikjbagl (talk) 02:54, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Completely unreferenced article about a topic, written much more like a WP:HOWTO guide than an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not WikiHow, so the key to getting a topic like this in the door is not just to write a step-by-step guide to the process that's completely unsupported by any sources — what would be needed is an article that contextualized it with properly sourced independent analysis about it. For one thing, not all "campus placement" follows exactly the same process across the board: there can be regional variances in different locations, the process can change depending on the nature and needs of different employers and industries, and on and so forth, which is an example of the kind of thing that a properly written article would need to note and source. Furthermore, this has been flagged for both referencing and basic notability issues since 2010, without ever having seen any significant improvement on either front. I am, of course, willing to consider withdrawing this if somebody can actually repair the article with real sources and an encyclopedic tone, but after a decade in this state it's time to call the question.

- Comment I stubbified the page. My informal impression is that "campus placement" is a more common term in India while "campus recruitment" is more so in the United States. Either way, it seems a worthwhile topic to cover — "how do college students get jobs" is obviously of social significance — although most of the sources turned up in a casual search are marketing glurge.

I mean, I guess since we're involving other articles, it's technically outside the scope of AfD, but what's special about college recruitment? I agree that the concept "how people (college students) get jobs" is notable, but is it notable separate and apart from recruiting people in general? Instead of having a random job fair or random ads, you place those fairs/ads within a university. That's not some unique, novel concept that needs its own wiki page. erc talk/contribs 15:41, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have no strong feelings about that one way or the other, but I suspect that there are enough details peculiar to recruitment at colleges specifically that a separate page is not a bad idea. For example, allowing the military to recruit on campus may be more controversial than their having recruiting offices downtown. XOR'easter (talk) 16:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. None of the references cited in the article discuss him. I was able to find two reviews about his second studio album. The first review was published by Ghana Web, a platform that writes opinion pieces. The second review (a good read) was written by an amateur reviewer for a wordpress blog. I also found this source published by More Braches; unfortunately, it cannot be used to establish notability since it isn't independent of the subject.

Don't Support Deletion - This article has about 6 or 7 independent sources speaking to it which is the English Wikipedia standard for article creation. Even with that I recognized the article still needed work so I made it a stub so it could be updated as we move forward. This article meets the required standard of Article creation and I believe I did that when I was writing it a year ago. I am completely at a loss where you point that none of the reference articles attached to this article speaks about him can you be kind to point that out. I believe the subject deserves a Wikipedia article because it meets the basic notability criteria and it was marked a Stub for that same purpose. Owula kpakpo (talk) 13:58, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Owula kpakpo: To reiterate, the sources in the article do not discuss the subject. I am going to dissect all 10 of them below.
- The first source briefly mentions his song "Helebaba" and does not discuss him; the source cannot be used to establish the song's notability.
- The second source is an announcement about his debut album Onipa Akoma. The album fails WP:NALBUM so the source cannot be used to establish notability.
- The third source is simply an opinionated list compiled by Pulse Ghana; Akan is only mentioned in the source and is not discussed.
- The fourth source is actually the kind of source that is needed to justify Onipa Akoma's notability. However, I don't think one solid review and background info is enough for the album to pass WP:NALBUM. It's a shame because the album is arguably one of the best Ghanaian albums released in 2017. If it won or was nominated for a VGMA award, then it should pass WP:NALBUM. I actually like the review I linked above; unfortunately, it can't be used.
- The fifth source is just a promotional link about "Me Sika Duro"; the song is not discussed in the source.
- The sixth source is a press release about the song "Ma Jaacki"; the song is not discussed in the source.
- The seventh source is just the track list for Onipa Akoma; track listings do not establish an album's notability.
- The eighth source is a press release about his cover of Skepta's "Konnichiwa"; the song is not discussed in the source.
- The ninth source is a press release about the "Helebaba" video.
- The tenth source, although not published as a review, can actually be considered a review of Akan's "Me Sika Aduro" video. If the song itself was notable, this review would complement it. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
- The subject does not deserve a separate article at this time. He hasn't been discussed in reliable sources. My dissection of the article's sources is a testament to this fact. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 14:55, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Versace1608 , I am currently at a loss why you think the sources I have sited doesn't discuss the subject when they mention the subject in their reportage. Some of the sources are linked to the music which when you look carefully is linked to only his discography and to a specific music on the discography. Like I said above there are more sources I am finding about the subject which I have already added to the article. Also this article passes off as a stub so it meets the basic criteria for article creation if that has changed kindly point that out to me. And if you read the article and the sources attached you would notice the difference between each source I used and what it's backing in the article.Owula kpakpo (talk) 15:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Owula kpakpo: Being mentioned in a source isn't the same as being discussed. All of the sources mentioned the subject's name but none of them discussed him. The additional sources you added to the article do not disuss Akan. The Quartz source only mentions his name once; a large portion of the article is about ELi and his environmental practices. The second source is a good review about the "Aprodoo" music video; the entire article is about the video and not about Akan. The source itself is a blog that doesn't appear to be notable (the blog only has two contributors). A separate Wikipedia article cannot be written about the blog because the blog fails WP:GNG and WP:WEB. An article being a stub is irrelevant to our discussion. Just because an article is a stub doesn't make it exempt from being judge against WP:N. FYI, in order for a subject to have a separate article, they will need to meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. Akan doesn't meet our notability requirements at this time. If he wins or gets nominated for a major award like the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, he should have enough to pass the notability threshold. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 17:17, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Versace1608 , I disagree that to be a notable musician from Ghana you have to win a Vodafone Ghana Music Awards because not every musician gets nominated in that award scheme. It's like saying in other to be notable musician in the US you have to win or have been nominated for a Grammy Award, Billboard & BET Awards those are not what the notability criteria states. Akan is a musician and his video is being reviewed how that fails to be a review about his music beats my imagination. There are so many notable Ghanaian musicians who would not be nominated by any award scheme but would be notable I can give you examples. I have been contributing to articles around musicians in Ghana for a while and I am sorry a lot of nuanced would be lost on you if you are not from here.Owula kpakpo (talk) 17:44, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Owula kpakpo: I am not saying he needs to win a VGMA in order to be notable. I said if he wins or gets nominated for a VGMA, he would pass criterion 8 of WP:MUSICBIO. As things currently stand, Akan doesn't meet any crtierion of WP:MUSICBIO. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 17:53, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

- @Apollo825: You still didn't answer my question. How is he well-known across Africa? You need to back this statement up with reliable sources or remove it from this AFD discussion. Passing mentions by Al Jazeera is not enough to warrant a separate article. Music in Africa is not a reliable source; the website reads: "Music In Africa provides a platform for musicians and contributors to embed music and videos solely for promotional purposes". Ghanamotion is a blog that promotes artists through advertising; it is no where near being a reliable souurce. The Live FM Ghana source is simply a press release about the subject's album; it is not even a critical review of the album. Harmattan Rain is an unrelaible blog source that accepts content from artists. Unorthodox Reviews is a blog that lacks an editorial team. The last source is a promotional link; there's absolutely noting notable about it. You need to do some more digging because nothing you've presented here confer notability.

Currently, the article is supported only by an Amazon profile, and a profile on an affiliated website. He seems to be a fairly prolific author of technical books (Idiot's Guide to Windows 98, Windows 7 Unleashed, that sort of thing), but I wasn't able to find any of his books reviewed anywhere in non-UGC sources that might point towards an NAUTHOR pass, and I could find no coverage of the man himself in any significant depth in any reliable, independent sources which might point towards a GNG pass.

Subject of article is a non notable secetary general to a notable person who founded an Islamic religious movement. Per WP:NOTINHERITED we know this doesn’t do anything to prove subject’s notability. The only two reliable sources used in the article are BBC Hausa, but having optimized Google Translator I discovered they were merely mentioning him in passing(anyone can confirm this using that wonderful tool) Furthermore Subject of article fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG & WP:BASIC. He does not possess in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him. Celestina007 (talk) 08:28, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

- Comment This User User:Celestina007 is telling lies in present of the public about the two references provided in the article by saying "He/She discovered they were merely mentioning him in passing" because he/she use Google translation tool, why don't you tell us the headlines and a brief contents of the translation lets see weather it is a pass by or not? I am Hausa Native so you can not say what it is not, when I translate it to English, this is what I see exactly:-
- 1- https://www.bbc.com/hausa/labarai-42130508
- Headlines: "Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi is calling my name in the sermon - Kabiru Gombe"
- Contents: "The Secretary General of the Jama'atu Izalatul Bid'ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), Sheikh Kabiru Gombe, denied that he used to mention Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi in his sermon. Sheikh Kabiru Gombe made this clear during a visit to the BBC in London last week, saying that he has never mentioned the name of Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi in his sermon.The clergyman said, "If anyone has a tapes of his preaching mentioning the name of the teacher, then the door will open for him to spread to the world."------- How is this a pass by? when he is the one narrating and addressing what happened between him and other Islamic cleric.
- 2- https://www.bbc.com/hausa/labarai-42130507 This references is an interview of Him with BBC
- Headline: "Women are more important than men - Sheikh Kabiru Gombe" This translation is not even accurate, it soppose to be translated this way "Women needs sermon/ preaching more than men"
- Content: "The general secretary of the Jama'atu Izalatul Bid'ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), Sheikh Kabiru Haruna Gombe, told the BBC why he often preached against women, The cleric made the remarks during a visit to the BBC in London on Thursday, He said he has experienced that mothers have been left behind and that the focus on women's preaching has not been fully addressed, he said, "Even if the women are preaching, it is usually better to be hung up on fire or by the teachers, than to be taught about the teachings of Islam and how to worship the Lord God," he said "--------Under this reference when taken to the BBC site, a Video of the interview is even placed to watch online, So how can you then say it is merely passing, when it is even an interview between him and BBC Hausa broadcasting, please be serious.
- 3- here is another independent reliable source reference not included in the main article https://www.bbc.com/hausa/labarai-42338468 On this they placed an audio of Kabiru Gombe preaching about the importance of using musk perfume in pubic parts for woman, it is an audio, but thank God his name is in the Headline and his picture is there to see, in such away that you wont make false claim by saying is a pass by mention.
- 4- https://aminiya.dailytrust.com.ng/ba-dabiar-malaman-sunnah-ba-ne-su-ce-wane-yana-wuta-sheikh-kabiru-gombe/ Also you did not mention Daily Trust a Nigerian English broadcasting, and it is there in the artilcle, Dailytrust is the English one while Aminiya Dailytrust is the Hausa version using the same trademark logo broadcasting in Hausa language, and it is independent reliable source with no dought, you mean you did not know about this reference in the article or you did not click on the reference?
- What about this Legit.ng an independent reliable source https://hausa.legit.ng/1122999-makwabcin-sheikh-kabiru-gombe-ya-kai-kararsa-gaban-kotu-kan-zarginsa-da-aika.html and this https://dabofm.com/ana-saka-ran-dawowar-sheikh-kabiru-gombe-da-bala-lau-gobe-talata-daga-amurka/ Dabo FM, it is an online radio station website for broadcating online, the Radio station is based in Jaipur North of India. And I want those that will vote Keep or Delete to check Find sources Books and Scholar, there are sources there.
Conclusion Per those Six Independent reliable sources, 3 from BBC Hausa, 1 from Daily Trust, Legit and Dabo FM, it pass WP:GNG. An@ss_koko(speak up)©T® 21:50, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Anasskoko, how do any of those sources satisfy “in-depth significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources independent of them” where & where in those sources was he himself discussed with in-depth? Literally every source discusses him in passing or states an action he performed but none discuss him significantly. See WP:GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 23:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Reply User:Celestina007 You are asking a confusable complicated question which is roughly congested with meaning words leading it to meaninglessness, simplify the question to be straight forward, and went directly to the point, from the Q, you made mention of reliable, independent and source, which of these references lack this quality? point it let me see? is it BBC Hausa, Daily Trust, Legit.ng or Dabo F.M, make clarification, and explain in details as I do in the first place, remember! no lying.

- Comment — @Anasskoko, I’d ignore the fact that you implied that i say meaningless things & I’m a liar & go straight to the point.
- In my reason for taking this to an AFD, you’d see that I concured to the fact that he has two reliable sources mentioning him but merely in passing, I verified this by using the Google Translator if you’ve ever studied WP:GNG you’d notice it says “in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of subject” emphasis on the “in-depth significant coverage” having two or three reliable sources merely mentioning you in passing & not discussing the subject significantly or with in-depth does nothing for WP:GNG. So let’s see it
- Reliable source
- independent of them
- in-depth significant coverage
- Overall value & adherence to WP:GNG =
- So you see, per WP:GNG the subject of your article isn’t notable. Celestina007 (talk) 20:57, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. The subject is only known for a single event, being the secretary of a notable organization. Per WP:BLP!E, this isn't enough to warrant a separate article. A Google search of the subject doesn't show him having in-depth coverage in reliable sources. The two BBC sources cited in the article are not independent of the subject; both sources are actually from the same video interview. Ref 1 and 9 are identical sources that only mentioned the subject once. Ref 6 is about Garba Binkola's response to Gombe's comments; it is not independent of neither Binkola or Gombe. Ref 5 looks like info that would fit the personal life section of his bio. Ref 8 looks like an interview source (I am basing this on the article's title). As it currently stands, there's not enough in-depth coverage of the subject. In my view, a separate article is not needed at this time. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 19:23, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete There is nothing much to mention about this subject and the subject is only notable as per WP:1E. I agree with the facts of Versace. Abishe (talk) 06:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Strong keep One of the most prominent Salafi clerics in Nigeria. A quick research shows that he is mentioned in hundreds of media articles. It would be good if some people could avoid giving their opinion about something they have clearly no idea about. --DonCamillo (talk) 08:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @DonCamillo, please you are more than welcome to provide us with this “hundreds of media articles” that are reliable sources that discuss subject of our discussion with significant in-depth coverage I beg of you please do so! you are more than welcome to do so! Wikipedia biographical articles generally are about what can be verified via reliable sources with in-depth significant coverage independent of the subject. If all this boxes don’t tick
then your analysis of what is or what isn’t is very flawed. Anyways you might want to see WP:GNG. Oh lest I forget; It’s great how sleeper accounts pop up every now & again to make statements & !votes in AFD’s & go back to slumber again. I mean what are the odds? Your last edit was on the 19th of December 2019 & your next would “coincidentally” be on the 23rd of April 2020, straight to this AFD to vote. Finally per your comments above
It would be good if some people could avoid giving their opinion about something they have clearly no idea about
I really don’t need to know jack shit about Christianity, Hinduism, or in this case, the Islamic religion or clerics, what I do need to know & which I already know, is Wikipedia’s policies in establishing notability & how to access the innumerable tools I have been given to by this collaborative community to work with. All else is irrelevant as only the integrity of the encyclopedia is what is pertinent. Feel free to stop by when you have those hypothetical “hundreds of media articles
” Celestina007 (talk) 09:43, 23 April 2020 (UTC)- Your accusations are really... interesting. I happen to do quite a lot of work on the Hausa Wikipedia and noticed that the article was recently created there: I just clicked on the interwiki link and saw the AfD notice. So nothing strange there. Is that satisfactory? English is my 3rd language so, no, I do not primarily contribute on the English Wikipedia.
- Yes, hundreds of articles are available about the topic of this article, and over a quite long period of time. Look for yourself (BBC, RFI, Aminiya...). Most of them happen to be in Hausa. Basically, to summarize, Kabiru Gombe is the "number 2" or maybe number 3 of one of the largest Islamic movements in Nigeria, with millions of followers. He is regularly interviewed by different international and Nigerian media to give his opinion on various matters. He is mentioned in the scientific literature about Nigerian Salafism (books by Alexander Thurston and Roman Loimeier whose authority on the topic is, I'm afraid, stronger that yours) as a prominent cleric within the so-called Salafi Muslim community in Nigeria. So, yes, strong keep', again.
- As a non-Nigerian interested in Nigerian-related topics, may I add that I am truly shocked and disappointed by the way Nigerian-related topics are treated here... --DonCamillo (talk) 11:55, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- DonCamillo, Just as I thought all talk & you still didn’t bring the
Hundreds of reliable media
you claim are out there. Do you know why you couldn’t bring them here? Because they are simply non-existent. I don’t give a damn that you are from the Hausa tribe interested in Nigerian related topics. Sentiments be damned! Who cares??? If you can’t provide us with theHundreds of reliable media
you claim exist that substantiates or proves subject’s notability then please move aside for experienced editors who actually know what they are doing to weigh in & quit consistutung a nuisance here using sentiments to draw pity to your cause. Furthermore from your statement above “As a non-Nigerian interested in Nigerian-related topics, may I add that I am truly shocked and disappointed by the way Nigerian-related topics are treated here
” I’d like to say that I am a Nigerian citizen & have lived in Nigeria & with Nigerians for 20+ years, so I am as Nigerian as they come & you can’t love articles related to my country more than I do. If your next response isn’t with those magicalHundreds of reliable media
you claim you discovered I’d most likely not respond to you again as obviously you clearly do not know what Wikipedia is about, Good fucking Bye! Oh lest I forget this comment aboveLook for yourself (BBC, RFI, Aminiya...). Most of them happen to be in Hausa
I’m not going to assist you look for crap. That’s the burden of the article creator & oh well yours now since you want to play Devil’s advocate. Subject of article lacks in-depth coverage which makes him ineligible to qualify under GNG how hard is that to grasp? Celestina007 (talk) 12:50, 23 April 2020 (UTC)- DonCamillo, I disagree with your statement about being disappointed by the way Nigerian-related topics are treated. FYI, the number of Nigerian-related articles on Wikipedia far outweigh the ones that have been deleted. Like i said earlier, the subject's only claim to notability is his secretarial role at the Izala Society. The sources cited in the article and the ones available online do not show him having in-depth coverage. Passing mentions in books are not enough to warrant a separate article. @Celestina007: Please bring your tone down; its not that serious. Let's try to discuss this in a civil manner. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 13:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

- Hey, easy. I am not accusing you of anything. I'm very glad you're Nigerian. I'm not, and not part of any tribe whatsoever. Just saying that I'm quite surprised to see people (not necessarily you, you're not the only one speaking here) discarding very easily the no. 2 or 3 of one of the major Muslim movements in Nigeria whereas minor religious leaders from a lot of countries have articles here and no one is trying to delete them...
- Regarding the sources, again, look for yourself. I'm sure you can use Google. You have twenty of them on BBC Hausa only (you can use site:bbc.com to do a search within a specific website). I gave you a summary of what these articles show. The article is already supported by a lot of sources, I added two of them myself. Just read them instead of ranting. Thanks, --DonCamillo (talk) 13:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @DonCamillo: What exactly do you mean by number 2 or 3? Do you have reliable sources to support this info? He holds a secretarial position. How exactly is this position a top tier position in a religious organization? Please elaborate. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 13:19, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Versace1608: He's not a secretary, he's the "Secretary-General" (babban sakatare in Hausa - there is a source in English in the article now). I don't know the Izala structure that deep but from the media reports it seems that he is the number 2, coming after the "President" (shugaba in Hausa), who is Abdullahi Bala Lau (and probably deserves an article too!). They are regularly interviewed together as the most prominent leaders of JIBWIS also known as Izala. --DonCamillo (talk) 13:48, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @DonCamillo: You should focus on creating an article about the the president, not about the second or third person in command. Just because he is the "Secretary-General" doesn't mean he automatically deserves an article. Like I said earlier, he lacks in-depth coverage and is only known for this role. He literally hasn't done anything outside of this. I can even argue that he is trying to inherit notability from the organization. As you know, notability cannot be inherited here. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 14:10, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Versace1608: But... who are you to tell me which article I should focus on? Sorry, I don't understand. No one has ever talked to me like that on a Wikimedia project, is it normal on the English Wikipedia? Is there a Wikipedia police that tells people which topic they have to work on? Very weird. And I never said he deserved an article because he is the Secretary-General, he deserves it because of his position in a movement with millions of followers in Nigeria and of the in-depth coverage he gets in Nigeria. The article shows it very clearly, now that it has been improved by at least four different editors. Kindly have a look at it, instead of trying to police what other editors are working on. Thanks. --DonCamillo (talk) 14:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- @DonCamillo: I am not trying to police you or anyone for that matter. My apologies if you took offense to my comments. You suggested that the president of the organization deserves a separate article and my comments were a response to that. Thanks for improving the article but the subject still has not been discussed in-depth. The position I hold in this AFD will change once I see in-depth coverage. This AFD discussion will probably end up closing as no consensus, which wold result in the article remaining in mainspace. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 15:54, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

- Keep first! please if you can, try and improve the article. Secondly! please do not accuse or question me of why? just because I voted contrary to your view, and lastly please do not expect me to respond to anybody's question of why? I express my view and opinion as you would not do if my vote goes in support of your view. Per WP:GNG and the bunch of sources provided in the article all are reliable, thanks I'm not seeing anyone looking for the subject in reliable sources and so I see the article subject has passed to be on Wikipedia. Em-mustapha User | talk 17:46, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- M-Mustapha, Your comment above which reads
“please do not accuse or question me of why? just because I voted contrary to your view”
is very much strange to say the least as this is your first !vote here so far & no one has ever accused you, questioned you, or badgered you in any way whatsoever. Perharps you may need to check which of your accounts you are currently logged in to. Also, Per your comments above which reads“Per WP:GNG and the bunch of sources provided in the article all are reliable”
which is similar to DonCamillo’s rationale you both have failed or rather, have refused to provide in this AFD the links to the reliable sources that proves the subject of the article has possess in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them. The reason is simple, there is none of such in existence. You may choose to prove me wrong by providing us with such sources. Furthermore In Wikipedia’s AFD procedures we don’t just !vote a keep or a delete without providing congent rationales. Oh! I actually just remembered you explicitly said“Do not question me of why”
&“do not expect me to respond to anybody's question of why?”
that’s pretty convenient if you ask me. Fine by me, but just so you know your point is very much invalid.Celestina007 (talk) 20:25, 23 April 2020 (UTC)- OK! Celestina007, Let's start; I am now being accused! for running several accounts;
"Perhaps you may need to check which of your accounts you are currently logged in to"
being question of why! just because I voted contrary to your view.“as this is your first !vote”
why I voted that, and maybe being badgered!"you both have failed"
"your point is very much invalid"

- M-Mustapha, only you accused your own self of sockpuppetry as I never said that explicitly. Although your multiple grammatical errors & less than satisfactory command of the English language does remind of a certain Nigerian editor on this collaborative project from Nothern Nigeria. you claim through a google search you encountered thousands of sources & DonCamillo, claims he saw hundreds, but to post just one of those hundreds or thousands that show subject of article possessing in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them becomes a mission impossible for you both. The problem is those hundreds or thousands of sources are non existent! you both are in a catch-22 scenario.
- How do you mean you may ask? I’d tell you; you both admire the subject of the article (perhaps because he is a religious figure you consider pertinent to your religion), you both assumed that he was notable without doing a proper research.you both !voted keeps assuming “surely he must be notable” you both have now undoubtedly done a google check & clearly have seen he doesn’t satisfy WP:GNG but of course your ego & admiration for him may have impaired your judgement and would make you not !vote appropriately or strike out your previous !votes to !vote correctly now you know he doesn’t satisfy GNG. But no, you’d rather resort to making bizzare claims saying he has hundreds and thousands of media sources to show he possess in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them instead of own up to the fact that you have !voted wrongly as those hundreds or thousands of reliable sources is nothing but a blatant lie. Celestina007 (talk) 12:18, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- Come one, this is not serious, you're very agressive. The article has many sources now and the articles I mentioned are still online. There are rules on Wikipedia, you cannot accuse other editors like this at random without any proof. I can't see how it is suspicious that two editors who are very active on the Hausa Wikipedia give their opinion about an article when sources are mostly in Hausa. Seems very normal to me. So kindly leave people alone, read the sources that have been provided over the last days and hopefully... change your opinion? Thank you. --DonCamillo (talk) 12:49, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

- Comment Thanks to you User:Toughpigs, they have been aggressive to people in this AFD, tending to push others very hard to their point of view, that's the reason why other editors are afraid of voting keep in Nigerian related discussion, if find out two of them have tag 📍 an article for deletion, not all editors like Hawking around, so a borderline suppose to be drawn for each one of them, to stop pushing voters aggressively, thanks to the Lord we are Bold, had it been we are not, this article could have been deleted for a thrash reasons.

- Hello @Toughpigs, just like Versace1608 already said no one is trying to win anything here & neither do I badger others nor bludgeon. If you look throughout this AFD I’ve only requested that one, just only one of those “hundreds or thousands” of reliable sources they claim are out there be made available here on this AFD & so far no one has done so. Like I said in the end nothing but the integrity of the encyclopedia matters if the community decides that this article be kept then so be it. I literally have served the community quite well & the universe has aided me in my journey so far & all things being equal I will continue to serve the community. Only the integrity of the encyclopedia is what is imperative every other thing is secondary. Someday I’d retire & so would you but the project lives on & posterity would continue from where we stopped. you probably are right, by the grace of God this should be my last entry in this particular AFD for now because I think I have made a fair point + I just cracked my glasses & wouldn’t be getting a new one till tomorrow + astigmatism is a bitch. haha!

As the creator of the article I do believe at the time I created the article WP:TOOSOON, however since then a lot has been added to the article to just about meet WP:MUSICBIO, the charting single, although recent, was a collaborative single.TwinTurbo (talk) 00:35, 13 April 2020 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: TwinTurbo (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.

- Comment: it's pretty weak though... one low-charting single on a specialist chart, and a storm in a teacup BLP1EVENT that never got any mention again after one day. Richard3120 (talk) 02:34, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Low charting or high charting, it was still on a nationally recognised chart. I do agree that his music career is something that has just but enough to pass WP:TOOSOON, and yes he has been a subject of a single event that was noted by reliable sources but these same sources also mention his music and releases too. TwinTurbo (talk) 15:44, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- He is actually just a featured artist on that single, and not the main artist though, isn't he? Richard3120 (talk) 19:10, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Although it is listed without the mention of half the artists on the official charts company website, it Is a collaborative single - uploaded on Frenzo's YT channel, the single on Deezer. Frenzo is an international artist, he is recognised amongst the South Asian community in countries including Pakistan, India and Bangladesh as well as the UK. TwinTurbo (talk) 19:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC
- I know he is on the song, but there is a difference between a "collaborative artist" who gets equal billing, and a "featured artist" who is a guest on the single... Deezer, Apple Music [66] and Amazon [67] all credit the single to Ickey Singh, and Harami is just one of the guests on the song. Richard3120 (talk) 21:29, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete: I really can't see how the subject passes WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. His sole charting record anywhere was the lower end of a specialist chart, which wouldn't pass WP:NSONG itself, and he wasn't the main artist on the record, just a featured guest. The only other reliable sources mentioning him are a classic WP:BLP1E, a forgotten-the-next-day "controversy" that provided some mild shock-horror headlines for the media and clearly had no lasting effect, as the incident happened a year ago and there has been no mention of the subject in reliable sources since then, despite having released two EPs and two singles in that period. Richard3120 (talk) 15:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per TwinTurbo, he was a collaborative artist on the charting single and he was also credited as the composer and songrwiter on the single. Article has improved significantly under WP:HEY since nom and has notable sources in his music career to which pass criteria 1 of WP:Musicbio too including this, this and this.

- Keep obvious pass for GNG & WP:Musicbio criteria #1. While evaluating the coverage in RSs, I was listening to some of his tunes. Maybe still a little too raw & real, but quite virtuoso. I've never heard fusion quite like it before, would reccomend if anyone wants to hear something new. mtm might be right that he could be the next big thing. FeydHuxtable (talk) 13:41, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- How is this an "obvious pass"? The sources that are reliable ones literally give you no biographical or musical details about the artist at all, simply that one of his songs was banned one day by the BBC. That isn't a pass of WP:GNG at all. Richard3120 (talk) 13:49, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

- Mixtape Madness is not a blog. I guess what you meant was that it's piece on Harami was in it's blog section. This can still be RS, please see WP:NEWSBLOG. Anyway, no need to get bogged down on the mmt source. He's had coverage in several other independent RS as even you seem to admit. WP:GNG says nothing about needing to give "biographical or musical details". To confer notability, they just need to give "significant coverage". Which they do. Oversall, the article has suffient biographical & musical detail to be useful for our readers,IMO. @ Apollo - welcome back!

- @Ikjbagl: I added back the discography, but kept the rest of your trimming. Even so, I'm not sure if it's enough to merit the page being kept.

This is a list of chapters for an organization that doesn't have a main article. Its been around a while, but has basically no sourcing about the organization, just about the Tuskegee airmen themselves. There is a draft of the article at Draft:Tuskegee Airmen, Incorporated, which the draftee had merged into this article; I subsequently removed a fair deal of it. The draft article has the same problem this article does: lots of coverage of the Airmen themselves during WWII, and not of the modern-day organization. I could not find significant news coverage of the organization, thus it appears to fail WP:NORG. No notability for a standalone, I think that the whole article could simply be summed up with one sentence in Tuskegee Airmen to the effect of "The modern-day Tuskegee Airmen Inc. is a non-profit that purports to carry on the legacy of the Airmen".

- Comment I don’t really understand this deletion rationale. There are certainly other articles that could be written about other Indian states, and the fact that they haven’t been written yet doesn’t mean we can’t have this one. If many of the individual incidents already have articles that just shows their notability and to me argues in favour of having an article discussing them all together, with a context such as the initiatives of the state government and state policy courts to deal with the issue. Mccapra (talk) 05:41, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I agree in full with the comment above. I think describing the article as a simple summary page for these individual incidents is a stretch. Also the nominatio themself even admits that the article covers almost all incidents. Lastly, after all of this, it is still acceptable within notability guidelines to have an article which describes an incident covered in more detail in other articles.ClaudeDavid (talk) 06:07, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- It is not, per WP:NOPAGE. The article was created 13 years ago, and now all of the subjects of this articles have their own articles. Now when enough details have been already covered elsewhere then we don't need to preserve any other article covering exactly same details. Going by your logic, we will need to create a Religious violence in Eastern India, but WP:NOPAGE discourages this. Srijanx22 (talk) 06:40, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Redundant since there is no article about any other states. One can create the article about the incident if it is notable but having a directory for each state would only encourage POVFORK and increase unnecessary workload. Capitals00 (talk) 07:07, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

- You are finding sources for Odisha#Religion and 2008 Kandhamal violence. Both of which already exists. Now see WP:NOPAGE: when many similar notable topics exist, it is impractical to collect them into a single page, because the resulting article would be too unwieldy. In that case, a viable option is creating a new list or category for the broader topic and linking to the individual articles from it. Srijanx22 (talk) 14:07, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I don't believe you have actually read (rather than looked) at the sources – all contain descriptions of religious violence over extended periods of time in Orissa. The quote from NOPAGE is cherry-picking; the point of NOPAGE is the emphasis on the need for case-by-case analysis. The examples listed at NOPAGE relate to single incident events (eg a US presidential campaign). Events of religious/communal violence have taken place in earlier post-Independence periods in Orissa: Rourkela 1964, Bhadrak 1989. The effects of events have long term consequences and indicate historical legacies: Revisiting Kandhamal 10 years after the violence against Christians. Finally, Anjana Chatterji has a book length study on the subject which deals with the specific events and the wider issue at state level. Specific incidents need stand alone articles, as does an overall summary which places that violence in context. Regards,--Goldsztajn (talk) 16:09, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete for multiple reasons. 1. Redundant since there is no article about any other states. One can create the article about the incident if it is notable but having a directory for each state would only encourage POVFORK and increase unnecessary workload. 2. Same content exists in multiple places e.g. each incidence has own article as well some of those are also replicated in other places such as "Persecution of hindus/Christians", "Violence against xyx", etc, etc. 58.182.176.169 (talk) 17:32, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The fact that there aren't articles such as Religious violence in Maharashtra doesn't make this any less notable. As I see it, this article is a perfect example of WP:SUMMARY style. This topic summarizes the background, and the various periods of violence, and then links to the other articles for more in-depth coverage. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 23:19, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep due to the strong reasons given by Goldsztajn and ClaudeDavid. This is a notable topic and as shown here and in the article the topic as a whole is also covered in several reliable sources. The individual incidents have their article as they are notable in their own right, the existence of individual events article does not make this topic any less notable. On the contrary, existence of several individual articles actually proves that such an article is both notable and necessary. I fail to see how this is a POVFORK. Some of the delete comments are quite amusing and it appears as if they are attempts on WP:CENSORSHIP. If there is a lack of similar articles for other states then they should be created.

I see no evidence of notability . It could probably be realistically claimed hat the first Native American to sit on a state court is notable , but I do not see how that extends to " first Native American to sit on the Massachusetts District Court", Nor are judges of such courts generally notable -- they'e trial courts, not appellate courts, much less state supreme courts--I would be prepared to say anyone who has been a judge of a state's highest court can be assumed to be notable.
Nor is there anything here to show special notability: 3 mere listings, and one very local paper, the Patch edition for Jamaica Plain, MA, included under the heading of "Neighbor News", with the caption "This post was contributed by a community member. The views expressed here are the author's own" with the by-line, "Andrew McFarland, A Neighbor"-- in other words they printed it, but it had no editorial control of any sort--the definition of an unreliable source DGG ( talk ) 03:33, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Quite aside from that, the claim that a state with courts stretching back nearly 400 years has never before have had a Native American -- or, at least one with as much native blood as the subject actually possesses -- as a judge in any capacity is farcical, never mind merely questionable. (Hell, if the Globe AND the Times AND the Post signed off on it, I still wouldn't buy it.) Ravenswing 13:42, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete a non-notable local level judge. This "first x to do y" is getting to the level of the absurd in this case. Bear in mind the USA had its first Native American Vice President in 1929. Larry Echo Hawk became the first Native American elected to a state wide constitutionally created office in the 1980s. The suspicion on this article is all the more wise because the Wampanoag and other Native American groups in Massachusetts were detribalized in the 17th-century, and have struggled to maintain even their identifies. It is telling that this woman is part of a group originating in Illinois and currently having a reservation in Kansas. Although her claim to Native American status seems to be valid as opposed to Elizabeth Warren's claim, the Elizabeth Warren factor makes claims of this nature ones that need reliable sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:28, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Loose Pulley Junction is a railroad crossing on the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (MILW) main line near Rock River in Stillman Valley, Ogle County, Illinois, US.
From about 1910 to about 1970, there was a well-respected railroad engineer in the area, named Louie "Loose Pulley" Johnson. He lived in a wooded area along the east bank of Rock River, north of the MILW tracks. Around 1941, as a sign of respect, some fellow engineers painted a standard station sign "LOOSE PULLEY JUNCTION" and hung it along the tracks at about 42°7′34″N 89°13′26″W / 42.12611°N 89.22389°W. Engineers were known to routinely give a whistle salute as they passed the sign.
Perhaps submitted by those who made the signage, or maybe a cartographic surveyor, the location became marked on the USGS maps as of, at latest, 1971 and remains there today. It is also in the USGS GNIS database. The place can even be searched and found on Google maps, Bing Maps, and OpenStreetMap.

- Delete. Notability not demonstrated to the WP:GNG standard. Looking at refs 1-3 (refs 4-14 only support verification of the subject being in the movie)
- Ref 1 https://filmgator.com/actor/josh-hammond Very brief personal biography facts, no secondary source content. Does not meet the GNG.
- Ref 2 blu-ray.com/Josh-Hammond/454612/ Word for word the same information as Ref 1, but from a less suitable source. No, not even a worthy source for the article.
- Ref 3 https://www.tribute.ca/people/josh-hammond/11233/ Almost good enough. But not. The entire content that is secondary source content is "Josh Hammond has successfully made the transition to working as an actor." The rest is directory information facts, primary source information. This summary has no named author. The secondary source information is not of nearly sufficient depth. If this is the best there is, https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358717/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm is apprpraite, Wikipedia is not. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:00, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Other than Jeepers Creepers 2, hardly any of the subject's films have received a general theatrical release that I can find information about. Nor does he seem to have received any profile-type coverage in reliable sources, that is, newspapers or magazines writing about him and his career, as opposed to articles which merely mention his name in a film review or websites which basically recapitulate his IMDb page. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:44, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- KEEP WP:NACTOR says "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Two of the three films he was in mentioned in the lead have him listed as a main character, that a significant role in those films deemed notable enough by Wikipedia standards to have an article. Dream Focus 05:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- What is the evidence of the significance of the roles? Was his performance of the role reviewed or commented upon? A description of the character is not a review of the actor. "Listed" is directory information, primary source information, can you find any information that uses adjectives? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:25, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- In the top billing. If you are a main character, that's a significant role in the film. Black Cadillac (film) is about "Three young men" and he is listed as one of those three. The Brotherhood (2001 film) you can read the plot and see the character he plays is a main character. Dream Focus 05:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- At The Brotherhood (2001 film), it has three references, and none of the three say anything about Josh Hammond, so this WP:NACTOR point is creating a house of cards. It doesn't overcome his failure to meet the GNG. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:16, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete even if the subject does meet WP:NACTOR that standard is supposed to indicate that the subject is likely to be notable through meeting the WP:GNG, meeting it does not guarantee that the subject should be included. The GNG requires significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. Of the sources currently in the article:
- [81], [82] and [83] are copies of the subject's IMDB profile, so either they're mirrors of IMDB or the subject's agent submitted the same biography to both sites. Either way it doesn't count and IMDB is not a reliable source.
- [84] looks distinctly like promotional material from the subject or his agent.
- [85], [86], [87], [88], [89], [90], [91], [92], [93] merely confirm that the subject appeared in some film and do not represent significant coverage.
- [94] is a review of a film he was in, all it says about him is that "Josh Hammond has the dubious claim of being the only member of the cast that speaks his lines halfway naturally", which is not significant coverage.
- [95] is an interview with the subject published in a blog, which isn't a reliable source.
- [96], to judge from the Google Books preview, just namechecks him as being in a film, which is not significant coverage.
- None of these come close to demonstrating that the subject meets the GNG, and for a current US actor any references would likely be easily available. Hut 8.5 07:38, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Nowhere is that written down. People who hate the secondary guidelines keep repeating the same lie. When the notability guidelines were created, it was determined things were notable by various means. 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". That's why they exist. You can be notable for your accomplishment in your specific field even if you don't have any random media out there talking about you. Dream Focus 13:46, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Sure, it's written down. NACTOR is one of the additional criteria of WP:BIO, which says People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. So passing NACTOR means you are likely to be notable, not that you are notable, and doesn't automatically mean the subject should be included. WP:BIO also suggests that articles which meet one of the additional criteria but fail the general criteria should be merged somewhere else, which is not what you do with notable topics. I would be much more sympathetic to keeping the article if it was about a topic which may not be covered in available sources on the internet, but an active American actor is exactly the sort of person who would have "random media out there talking about you" if they were at all important.
