Prod removed on the basis that editor would prefer this to go through AfD. Deletion is uncontroversial because article has zero references to substantial secondary source coverage, therefore failing WP:SPORTCRIT #5. I'll add that I didn't find any. agtx 21:17, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In any other area, this would not be close enough to meet WP:GNG. This is a handful of routine annoucements/press release style coverage, plus a single Q&A style interview. I fundamentally don't understand why that's considered enough coverage for a football player. agtx 15:21, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This person does appear to be an underground hip-hop performer who has been on tour, has a YouTube presence, is a clothes designer, etc., judging by the articles I found about her.

Comment The original version had additional citations that looked legit to me but I don’t know enough or care enough about the subject of underground hip-hop to establish the credibility of those sources that were questioned, so I didn’t add them back. I do think it’s important for there to be more coverage of women in every field and I would hope someone with more interest and expertise would take a look at this rapper and expand on the article. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 12:41, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - a speedy would have been appropriate, and draftify, a second option but let's think about why an admin would choose AfD and not draftify. One reason I can see in this situation to not draftify is that it's not notable, and/or unlikely to be expanded because there are no RS to cite, so why not simply go with an A7 and save valuable time. Until the community decides to make Twitter, YouTube and other such online sites RS, this BLP is not notable. Atsme 💬 📧 15:16, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The individual appears to have a minor role in a single film, which fails to meet WP:NACTOR. On top of that, I can't find sourcing that would cover WP:NBASIC. And, in any case, an article that focuses solely on a living individual notable for one event is tenuous to begin with—especially so when there are very, very few sources that involve coverage of the individual even in the context of that event. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 16:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dundee in the 1922 general election

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Nomination withdrawn (see below). Pointless fork from Dundee (UK Parliament constituency) which amounts to indiscriminate information and so conflicts with the spirit of WP:IINFO. An article about a single constituency in one general election is hardly notable. Much of the content is unsourced and the rest has mostly been lifted from the candidates' biography articles.

Keep (author) British elections are fought on a constituency basis and in many elections there are individual constituency contests that are notable, such as Smethwick in 1964 or Enfield Southgate in 1997. Dundee in 1923 is one of them for two reasons. Firstly it was an election where Winston Churchill was defeated (last time he stood as a Liberal) and secondly it was the only time a prohibitionist candidate won a British Parliamentary seat. All UK parliamentary by-elections in the 20th century are treated as notable. Individual contests within a General Election can also be notable, although the bar will be higher than for by-elections. The bar is easily cleared in this case. JASpencer (talk) 14:08, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just a as a quick note, I have so far found two academic articles on this particular election contest, one from 1970 [5] and one from 2020 [6]. This is a sign of continued interest that few other electoral contests within a General Election would garner. JASpencer (talk) 15:53, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I don’t think this is a WP:IINFO violation (even in spirit). The information belongs in Wikipedia… somewhere. The real question is what is the best way to present it? - Should it be presented within a stand alone article, or within a broader article? That is essentially an editorial decision, not a matter of policy. There are valid arguments to justify either approach. That said, my call is that this specific topic is better presented as a stand alone article. Blueboar (talk) 13:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for another note on this, but there is a middle brow book coming out to mark the centenary of this election. Seriously, this is a notable election. https://www.waterstones.com/book/cheers-mr-churchill/andrew-liddle/9781780277899 I may have been rather more interested in modern political history than average or healthy as a child, but I had no particularly deep interest in Churchill and no connection at all with Dundee but I do remember two specific conversations with two separate adults about this election as a teenager (turns out one of these was wrong on a crucial detail which I didn't know until researching the article). Out of school. That was, erm, more than fifty years after the election. Yes that's slightly weird but this was an extraordinary election involving a person who was and still is a big deal.

Note Looking at the US for a counterpoint at how elections within a wider election is treated. I went to look up the 1960 Democratic Primary in West Virginia (because it had a documentary) and it wasn't there, but there was 1960 United States presidential election in West Virginia and 1960 United States Senate election in West Virginia. Now neither of these are particularly notable elections and they are both quite cookie cutter. WV wasn't crucial in the Presidential race compared to Illinois and the incumbent won quite handily in the Senate race. Dundee in 1923 is different. The incumbent (Churchill) was defeated, he was already a national figure and later would become an international figure, he was out of Parliament for two years in which time he switched parties (twice), the swing against him was the highest of any other National Liberal MP in Scotland, the prohibitionists won their only ever British MP, in local terms it was a crucial turning point when Dundee went from a safe Liberal "seat for life" to one where it would be dominated by Labour for the best part of a century. The race also attracted not just one, but two academic articles wholly devoted to the Dundee 1922 race.

So the notability question really doesn't seem to be can a component race in a wider election be notable - the American practice is that they are - nor whether this reaches that notability bar - the bar in American terms is very low - it is whether a British constituency election within a General Election has a far, far higher notability threshold than an American Senate election. I would say for a general rule like this that the burden of proof is heavily on those proposing the deletion.

JASpencer (talk) 11:44, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- We should not encourage articles like this, but this is an exception, in that a person as important as Churchill was defeated. US analogies will not be helpful, because senators do not become ministers, whereas British ministers normally have to resign if they lose their seats. The exception is if they are granted a peerage. Churchill had been a minister continuously since 1905, with a short break during WWI when he served in the army, so that this defeat was highly significant. Equally the election of a prohibitionist is significant. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:26, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It does appear there is some academic work about this constituency and this election. Passes WP:GNG. --Enos733 (talk) 19:28, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's comment. Some good work has been done on the article since I first saw it. I think it now meets the required notability standards, especially with the Churchill connection. I'm therefore withdrawing the nomination (see above). Thanks and well done to all involved. NGS ^{Shakin' All Over} 09:09, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Refactor: Nominator evidently can't stand that someone would dare to disturb their dizzying deletionist spree, as they couldn't wait for me to finish writing that comment before taking this to AFD. I read the article and saw that it was really more about Charlie Vandergaw than the television series. I then did a proper BEFORE search and came up with sources from ABC News, Anchorage Daily News, Seattle Times, Bend Bulletin and multiple hits on the personal website of Craig Medred, a credentialed outdoors writer who also wrote the ADN piece linked to above. The ST article was paywalled for me, but everything else appeared to be indepth, even if all of it was centered on one episode (read: potential BLP1E) rather than his life as a whole.

As I noted in my comment when I contested the PROD, I caught wind of this through a WikiProject alert page. This AFD is following the exact same pattern as the recently-concluded Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alaska Wing Men, also initiated by you, and possibly other AFDs I haven't noticed. Wouldn't you expect your fellow editors to be curious why this is occurring? What I found was you engaging in indiscriminate deletion-related activity through Twinkle. WP:TW still begins with a prominent banner stating in part "You take full responsibility for any action you perform using Twinkle". Exposing a pattern of targeting articles for deletion so other editors can find sources for you is highly pertinent to the nomination, especially given the likelihood of how many times it's happened before. Why would you hide behind the notion that every action you initiate exists in a bubble? Special:Contributions exists for a reason.

Keep - I appreciate the efforts of the nomination to rid Wikipedia of non-notable content. This article however I feel does have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. While meeting WP:GNG does not guarantee inclusion, I consider on this occasion there is insufficient reason to delete this article, because after all it is covered in the below sources (thanks to RadioKAOS for identifying these.

Source assessment
Source	Reliable	Independent	Significant coverage?
ABC News	Yes	Yes	Yes. The sources covers the subject in detail.
Anchorage Daily News	Yes	Yes	Yes, the sources covers the subject in detail.
Seattle Times	Yes	Yes	Yes, the sources covers the subject in detail.
Bend Bulletin	Yes	Yes	Yes, the sources covers the subject in detail.

Keep, it's notable but needs more inline citations, the lack of which can make it appear noncompliant with OR. We inadvertently get tripped-up thinking we need a large number of RS for a topic to be notable and worthy of inclusion, but that simply is not the case.

- I will separately note that the article is currently not in great shape. But, per WP:DEL-CONTENT, if editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page.

Don't Go to the Reunion

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An independent film that does not appear to pass the WP:GNG or the more specific WP:NFILM. The only two references being used are unacceptable for establishing notability, merely being the official website and its Amazon sales page, and I was unable to find any coverage or reviews of the film in reliable sources after searches. Rotten Tomatoes only has one critic review included as well, and the source it is from is one that I am not sure qualifies as a reliable publication for the purposes of establishing notability. As the writer, director, and production company all appear to be non-notable themselves, there is no appropriate article for a redirect. Rorshacma (talk) 18:16, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WITHDRAWN by Nominator - As shown by ReaderofthePack, this one does seem to have just enough coverage to squeak by WP:NFILM, and as no one else has commented to advocate deletion, I am going to go ahead and Withdraw this nomination. Rorshacma (talk) 15:41, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Cinema Crazed is typically seen as a RS. It's not as major of an outlet as Dread Central or Bloody Disgusting, but Vasquez's reviews are usable from my experience. I also added one from Horror Society, also generally seen as a RS. I'm trying to add more since I'd rather it be a stronger article as a whole before I put an official argument forwards. On a side note, it is mentioned in this bizarre article from the NYT, where it just list titles. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:36, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I wish there was a tad bit more coverage here since I would rather have more, this does squeak by notability guidelines for films at this point in time. The sources aren't the most prominent outlets, but they're generally all seen as reliable. I'm not fond or proud of using AICN as a source, though. I think that they're still seen as RS, but they are extremely bottom of the barrel as far as sourcing goes. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:55, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I actually did run across that NYT piece in my searches, but didn't mention it since, like you said, it basically just lists its title. I was not sure on Cinema Crazed or Horror Society being considered reliable sources, but if they are, then I agree that this probably just manages to get past the bare minimum requirements. I will leave this discussion up for a while longer, to give others a chance to comment if they want, but will withdraw if no one else argues for deletion within the next day or two.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. This is a tough one, as evidenced by this discussion remaining open since May 20th. The standards in WP:GNG are difficult to meet. Several editors have marshalled a number of sources in support of keeping the article, including convincing evidence via WorldCat that the publication is listed in important libraries (though this is typically not enough to keep an article). However, most of the sources offered by those arguing in favor of keeping fall short of "significant coverage" because they mention the subject in passing only. There are a few sources that primarily address the subject, but these appear to be less influential. At the same time, some of these passing mentions seem to indicate that the subject comes close to satisfying WP:NBOOK's third criterion. Even this argument is tenuous given the passing nature of these mentions. Ultimately, my read is that consensus has not been reached, but I suspect that a future discussion may result in the article being deleted unless additional third-party significant coverage emerges.

Keep. The journal (and the article) is relevant and does satisfy the WP relevance criteria.

Does meet WP:BKTS, but I can't find anything that comes even close to being useful for WP:BOOKCRIT. Some confusion with mentions of ECR, so I'm reserving judgement for now until I can go through things a bit deeper. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:34, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. On a more detailed review of the sources, I am unable to find any evidence to suggest there would be significant coverage of the publication itself, beyond the existing namechecks. The originating organisation may be more notable and an appropriate place to have some coverage, giving due weight, however, the title seems too generic to be a good redirect.

Keep - we don't have to like it, but it is notable: Salon, with 3rd party coverage [7], [8], and some members of its editorial board appear to be controversial, [9]. I didn't have time to investigate content but notable authors come up in the search such as Dooley, [10], and Montanari.

- @Atsme: Have you found any sources that aren't passing mentions or author bios? Sources have to be both in-depth and independent to prove notability, and it seems like all of the links you found are neither. BuySomeApples (talk) 21:07, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BuySomeApples - WP:NEXIST clearly states (my bold underline) Wikipedia articles are not a final draft, and an article's subject can be notable if such sources exist, even if they have not been named yet. If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate. However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface. Below, editors have consistently found and named RS that have written about the magazine, its editorial staff & contributors, and its influence in certain parts of Europe. We also answered the challenge to provide sources that speak about the magazine itself; therefore, proof that sources exist has been demonstrated. Atsme 💬 📧 12:02, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete The Salon article mentions the journal exactly once, and that's while quoting someone. The rawstory.com link has the exact same quote. The rest of the links seem to mostly be mentions of the journal in author bios on other websites. These don't prove notability for either the authors or the journal. People associated with the journal would obviously mention any blogs or journals they're published in as part of their work experience, but it's not significant or third party coverage. The fact that subscriptions are available for purchase online is proof that it exists, not that it's notable. BuySomeApples (talk) 21:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The page would need references to articles that are at least partly about the journal, or that discuss it (even if its just one or two paragraphs). Author bios and quotes by people who work for the journal don't count. BuySomeApples (talk) 21:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another source, and yet another citing. GNG is satisfied per the following definition: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. I've provided an adequate number to satisfy the guideline - keeping in mind GNG is a guideline, not a policy. Evidence of notability has also been satisfied in that other notable media and scholars refer to it, or cite the magazine, not to mention the fact that members of the magazine's editorial board are academics. The sources are there, and I don't doubt that more can be found in foreign languages as it is a European magazine.

@Atsme: GNG is not a rule, but pages have to meet at least one agreed upon criteria for notability. The New Statesman article mentions the journal one time in passing, that's not in-depth coverage. Simply having members of the board be academics (not necessarily notable themselves), doesn't mean the journal inherits notability. Just saying that the sources are there doesn't count, they have to actually be found. Part of this is because an article's content should cite reliable sources, and not having these makes that impossible. BuySomeApples (talk) 21:05, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The one from La Tribuna del País Vasco certainly seems to be significant coverage, I'll bow out on evaluating the source's reliability and ignore that it reads like a press release. I agree completely that significant coverage does not require it to be the main topic, I'd say I'm willing to accept even less than "one or two paragraphs" depending on the circumstances, but to have a clear line for this case, let's say two sentences, in the same general vicinity of each other. How about that? I will strike my delete if anyone provides, for the second source, two sentences actually about the magazine, preferably in a publication that is easier to verify as independent and reliable.

I also resent the implication that my judgement of the article is based on WP:IDONTLIKEIT, and I see only one other person that could have applied to. But I hope having a clear criterion for which I will rescind my opinion will assuage any skepticism that it is based arbitrarily on my feelings. Alpha3031 (t • c) 14:49, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Alpha3031 – I certainly hope I wasn't one of those people, and if so, then I apologize. I'm pressed for time right now, but I did find an Austin Institute podcast. It's probably time for WP to get up to speed with more modern types of sources we can cite now that most everything is online. This article describes various outlets, and begins with...How can political establishments hope to survive..., this one has a picture caption, this shows one of their staff was a moderator, The New Yorker mentions the magazine: He applied to the academy in 2018, sending Harnwell a few clips blasting political correctness from the magazine he edits, The European Conservative. I think notability is established. I've gotta run! Atsme 💬 📧 21:37, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review the podcast, even though I'm not so optimistic about the amount of independent, secondary content considering the usual caveats we apply to interviews, but the other sources you've linked don't come anywhere even close to the rather low bar of "two sentences about the subject". What are we to write here? "Fantini is or was editor-in-chief"? "He's the second guy from the left in this picture here"? "Some other Fantini has also done things at such and such law school"? "There are clips blasting political correctness in this magazine that Fantini edits"?

We can't piece together an encyclopedia article from coverage of perhaps half a sentence each (and that's a generous overstatement for the ones other than the New Yorker). A Wikipedia article is more than just a collection of miscellaneous facts! That's the type of thing we cut from other articles when people try to take them on into a section at the bottom, and exactly why we even have SIGCOV. Even if we ignore the "independent" and "reliable" parts (which to be fair, the New Yorker would have no issue meeting) those sources are so far from useful, "significant" coverage I'm not sure why they were posted.

Perhaps the keep !voters would prefer to discuss things in relation to WP:BOOKCRIT#3 instead of #1 and temporarily bypass the SIGCOV/GNG issue for now. Alpha3031 (t • c) 12:50, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On review (I skimmed it the first time), it is more clear that the second source posted starting "How can political establishments hope to survive" is entirely about the subject, but it is also written by (people affiliated with) the subject. The last paragraph of "we are the people that write this magazine and by the way it is very great" (paraphrased obviously) is about as unambiguous as it gets, though I do wish it got attributed to an actual specific real person (or persons as it were). At least it is clearer than the Tribuna article. In any case, consider my !vote stricken until I can actually review the other source. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm sure that User:Oberlandler080 and the IP are voting with the best of intentions, but it doesn't seem like either of them understand Wikipedia guidelines.

They point out that it is noteworthy in the ideas transfer between right-wingers in east Europe and west Europe. You find the papers' links in the article.

- @Pepe1979: FYI, as the creator of the article, it's usually recommended that you comment rather than vote. BuySomeApples (talk) 18:16, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pepe1979: Your latest link is 404 for me, so I can't comment. If you have an archive or a copy of it, that would be appreciated. I'm not so sure that it was a matter of those papers being ignored, rather than it being assumed understood that the explicitly stated requirements of "one or two paragraphs" would exclude from consideration papers which have written about the subject considerably less than a paragraph. I will restate my considerably looser requirements more bluntly if it helps. If your source has less than two sentences, don't even bother. If your source is not verifiably independent of the subject, it would be appreciated if you indicate why you think it is. On reliability: I'll mostly trust whatever your judgement is on how reliable your source is, as long as you include something indicating you've thought about it and why you've arrived at that conclusion, I or someone else can verify the reliability of a source if we have the time.

There is a reason we ask for WP:THREE best sources. We only need three. If they're good enough, sometimes maybe two is enough, but we will never need more than three assuming they do the bare minimum of "actually meeting the criteria". And if your third best source won't meet it, it is highly unlikely your 4th best or 5th best will meet it either. If they don't meet the criteria, then it is a waste of time, both yours and ours.

I appears that the editor of TEC, Fantini, is especially active in Hungary. He was also quoted by Balkan Insight in an article on a Fidesz-sponsored conference for right-wing Christian journalists: ‘Pray Before You Tweet’: Hungary Promotes ‘Christian Communication’ | Balkan Insight Pepe1979 (talk) 15:07, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, on your first source. Significant coverage: great. Again though, the content positively smacks of a press release. If you have any reason based on which you'd assert that it isn't one, then sure, we can accept it provisionally. With quotes, unfortunately they're not secondary/independent so they are not considered "significant coverage in independant reliable sources". The coverage (or a significant part of it at least) also has to be about the magazine, not just any one of the contributors. If you have two sources of similar depth to the first one that doesn't read like a presser I'd wager there's a good chance BuySomeApples and Praxidicae will both be convinced as well and then we can close this and all go home. Alpha3031 (t • c) 16:02, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Alpha3031. I did some research and found several talks about the magazine: Here is another interview in “Hirado”, the main news program of MTVA, the Hungarian public broadcaster, with TEC editor-in-chief Fantini about his magazine: https://hirado.hu/cikk/2021/10/17/fantini-tamadjak-a-csaladot-az-egyhazat-es-a-hagyomanyt; I also found this interview in a right-wing Spanish journal: https://revistacentinela.es/alvino-mario-fantini-el-conservadurismo-tiene-que-ser-disruptivo/; here is a interview in an Albanian journal with Fantini about the European Conservative: https://www.standard.al/2022/05/01/kryeredaktori-i-the-european-conservative-keni-nevoje-per-lidere-te-guximshem-media-te-patrembur-dhe-qytetare-patriote/; and then this podcast talk with a Texan think tank (albeit admittedly a small and highly partisan conservative) in English: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conservatism-in-the-eu-and-the-u-s/id1537412555?i=1000557934697

These are all independent sources. It now comes down to the question if you consider them reliable sources. I would say they are all politically biased and partisan but nevertheless they are independent and show that there is sufficient news coverage to justify a WP article in my opinion. Pepe1979 (talk) 18:49, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work, Pepe. I have no doubt that the sources provided easily satisfy GNG, particularly WP:NRV, and N but the good work you've done cinched it. Thank you for going that extra mile. Atsme 💬 📧 22:04, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pepe1979, I appreciate that you've certainly gone to considerable effort to find these sources, but articles primarily composed of what (persons close to) the subject said are not generally more independent than articles that (persons close to) the subject wrote. The podcast was already posted, and I did commit to reviewing it. I'm about 7 minutes in right now, and thus far it is not much better in terms of independent content. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:19, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Alpha3031 - in light of two very important aspects of GNG: WP:NRV and WP:NEXIST, which appears you may not have considered, your argument is not supported by our core content policies. Regardless, here are a few more sources: Origo, The American Conservative quotes a big block from TEC, Mandiner group, and Syri. Media doesn't necessarily cover their competition, so we don't expect to see the conglomerate mirroring within the echo chamber we call today's media. It's not unusual for competitors to publish rave reviews about their competition. We have provided sufficient coverage to satisfy GNG and N. The simple fact that sources are quoting TEC weighs heavily in the direction of N. Editors who oppose this Afd have provided more than adequate sourcing. Happy editing! Atsme 💬 📧 13:52, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I consider NEXIST and NRV to be part of the broader N rather than the quick reference criteria of GNG, but my nitpicks aside, and forgive me if I seem harsher towards you than Pepe: Yes, notability can be established without sourcing being found that come close to meeting GNG, at the same time posting all those useless-for-GNG sources without a cogent argument as to why all those sources found are terrible GNG-wise and how the elusive unfound sources are different indicates nothing but piss poor precision. A hundred, a thousand articles not meeting the minimum criteria doesn't indicate that there is one that will. Sure, those press releases and interviews might be easier to find and all, and I will admit that the search term in this case means that the base precision (that of our search results) suffer, but you are an intelligent human with familiarity with Wikipedia notability guidelines. Sources Can Exist yes, but if you want to argue as such, please do so instead of pretending the sources you have "satisfy GNG". They don't, not even close, no matter how many times you assert it. Again if you would like a path to notability that isn't GNG, you can have it: you're more than welcome to argue this based on WP:BK#3 or some other SNG. Hell, you can even make your own SNG-like arguments if you really wanted to, though that may be seen as less based in PAG. What you can't do is pretend General Notability is just "post a few sources, 20 is more than 3 so GNG is met. Hmm yes, definitely significant coverage here: 'it does not need to be the main topic' and even the shortest half sentence I have definitely meets that". If it doesn't meet the standards for Counting Towards Being Notable In General then posting it as such instead of making the argument about how it is one of the Extra Cases Where Things Are Usually Notable For This Specific Subject, or even just This Specific Reason Sources Might Exist For This Article Topic Only Even If It Might Not For Other Topics simply wastes the time of everyone who is trying to find the best three sources and believe the assertion that those sources are ones that you've found to contribute to such a thing. You have posted that Notability Requires Verifiability: Yes, that is definitely true, and to verify things require you to WP:PROVEIT.

It doesn't matter that reliable sources (or mainstream media, or whatever people want to call it) is an echo chamber that covers the same set of things. "Systemic bias exists and we want to avoid it", sure, but as our policies currently stand if independent reliable sources cover nothing at all we are obligated to have no articles at all, and if the cover twice as many things they ought to in A instead of B, there is precious little we can do to ensure we cover B instead. So yes, argue how important it is! If you can't find sources meeting GNG, I would honestly be very happy if you could find a few independent reliable sources that say: "The European Conservative is very important for movement XYZ" and we can move the discussion along those lines instead.

Hello @Alpha3031: The paper by Valentin Behr (University of Strasbourg) (From Anticommunism to Antiliberalism. Polish Conservative intellectuals' involvement in the transnational circulation of ideas (archives-ouvertes.fr)) provides exactly what you ask for: It shows that the CER and TEC are important as plattfroms for the circulation of ideas - in this case hardline conservative, illiberale ideas by Polish anticommunist intellectuals. The book New Conservatives in Russia and East Central Europe by Katharina Bluhm and Mihail Varga also elaborates on this and mentions CER and TEC as forums for the intellectual exchange. What else do you want? I think this is getting a bit pedantic and we should all move on. Perhaps some other participants might like to join the discussion and give their opinion?--Pepe1979 (talk) 10:54, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll agree about letting other participants take over. My second round of source review has left me with no better sources than before, and I am more firmly convinced that there will not be any sourcing that meet either of the two target criteria in establishing notability of the subject independent of (i.e. not inherited from) the publishing organisation. As such, I am reinstating my !vote and (considering quality) do not think it likely I will be actively looking for sources a third time. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:04, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Sources presented both in the article and in this discussion all have issues towards proving notability. Some of the sources in the article are directly connected to the publication and lack independence. Others, such as the Salon article, only mention the work in passing. None of the independent publications cited in the article or provided as evidence in the discussion above address the topic "in detail" as required by policy at WP:GNG. The interview articles do address the topic in detail, but as interviews they lack independence. As such, fails the significant independent coverage requirement of our notability standards.4meter4 (talk) 06:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just going to leave a comment as article creator, as I don't think the nom comment gives the full picture (obviously?).
I made this as a stub after the subject (awards) had been mentioned/included on lots of film, actor, and list of award articles - that is, the general advice is to not include awards in lists if they do not have a Wikipedia article unless there is good third party coverage, and the forming consensus seemed to be that these awards do have the right level of notability even without an article. As the third edition then had an actual presentation, not just online, I thought the article was a reasonable creation.
The nom mentions AwardsWatch and NBP by saying they give indiscriminate coverage, which isn't exactly true, but besides, I don't think they say things along the line of "these awards have been minor but will prove more influential on the season" about everything. The specific coverage should be considered.
This treads towards OTHERSTUFF but, seriously, have you seen the number of minor Indian film award articles that are just unsourced lists? This article doesn't pretend to be more than it is, that shouldn't be a reason to delete coverage of legitimate awards before cleaning up the articles on every production company in Bollywood giving themselves meaningless awards. Imho. Kingsif (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think the award was included in lots of lists because inexperienced editors just copy all of the awards from IMDb (which is an indiscriminate and unreliable source) and make a list, not because the awards are deemed to be significant. The same thing happens with awards from, for example, Gold Derby; even though those awards are not considered notable (see this 2020 AfD), they are often added to awards lists by editors. And the note that these specific awards will "make an even deeper impact" is copied straight from the organization's website – in fact, that entire paragraph in the NBP article is copied from the org's website – so I don't think that's reasonable analysis of the organization. If anything, it casts further doubt on the ability of NBP to provide secondary coverage. Regarding the unsourced Indian film awards, I'm sure there are issues there, and I would be more than happy to move for their deletion if there are similar issues, but those aren't relevant to this discussion, in my opinion. RunningTiger123 (talk) 18:04, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Info - Note to closer for soft deletion: This nomination has had limited participation and falls within the standards set for lack of quorum. There are no previous AfD discussions, undeletions, or current redirects and no previous PRODs have been located. This nomination may be eligible for soft deletion at the end of its 7-day listing.

Keep. While I completely understand the rationale for the nomination (and certainly railway crossings wouldn't normally warrant their own article), the subject here is a little more than "just" a level crossing. In terms of WP:SIGCOV, granted most of the coverage relates to the "notorious" nature of the bottleneck (and plans to address that), but there is a chunk of coverage which deals with the subject as a titular/primary topic. (Irish Times: [20][21][22]. Irish Independent: [23][24]. Etc). In terms of WP:GEOFEAT, while not a protected structure or similar, the subject likely taps the "historic, social importance" criteria. In that it is described in several sources as marking the "boundary of the city of Dublin" and "symbolic entry point to the inner city" (EG: [25][26]). To the extent that visiting or returning notables were often greeted at these gates. Like papal legate Cardinal Lorenzo Lauri in 1932. Or the reception held here for Éamon de Valera on his return to Ireland in 1919. If there is consensus for a merge, then I'm not sure what target to suggest. Perhaps the Merrion railway station article. Which is immediately nearby. However, IMO and while stations are perhaps more conventionally afforded their own articles, the junction has been the subject of way more coverage than the station....)

@Guliolopez:, @CT55555: - if Merrion railway station is nearby, perhaps that may be a suitable place to merge? Clearly it seems to be a level crossing with information about it - but I don't think the level crossing is necessarily notable enough in its own right. Would you be in favour of merging it with Merrion? Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 18:34, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the speedy tag because there is a claim that new information has come up from the original deletion over four years ago. It still looks to me like there could be a WP:COI and the subject may not meet WP:GNG or another notability guideline. I'm unconvinced that the sources are independent and enough to meet the notability standards. I believe the article should be deleted but let's have a discussion first.

Delete Per nom. The sources, listed as "External links/References", are a few photos, a couple of YT videos and an e-book written by (as it appears) the user who created the article (this is an indication of COI, too; please, note that yesterday the same user created the Greek WP article as well). ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 09:28, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a legitimate manufacturer, which, in the meanwhile, has introduced new models and has an agreement for production under license in Canada - definately incrasing its notability. Please do note that there are hundreds of such articles in Wikipedia - there are even articles for makers of a single test sporting aircraft or a single vehicle. I see no reson why such articles should be deleted.Skartsis (talk) 18:03, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Skartsis "Legitimate manufacturer" has nothing to do with notability; it could have been illegal and notable. The "hundreds of such articles in Wikipedia" is an argument to avoid: the existence of other articles that their subject may lack notability doesn't justify keeping this article. To me the creation of this article by you looks like a product of WP:COI, it has to do with listing you e-book as a source. I might be wrong, but that was the first thing that crossed my mind when you created the Greek article (now deleted). ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 22:13, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Skartsis Also, if notability is met there's still the potential WP:COI issues that would be reason for removal of the article. I applaud your enthusiasm--do you have anything for us to consider about WP:COI?--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:55, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Chalk19 and Paul McDonald I removed reference to my book (this was added only to provide additional reference, makes no difference to me - you may have seen that now it is an open access eBook on Academia). Also, I personally asked the manufacturer (through the e-mail in its website) to provide written permission for the images, as demanded by an editor. Was this that lead to the claim of "suspected connection"? You may as well delete the article, if you still believe so. Of course, I will repeat that this approach could lead to the deletion of a big part of Wikipedia. Regarding similar makers, random examples are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganzavia_GAK-22_Dino (a single ultralight aircraft made) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_EDA_100_Flamingo (incomplete development of an ultralight aircraft). I will not argue further, and respect any decision. Skartsis (talk) 07:36, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep I just added six new RS, including one from a reliable Spanish aviation magazine, one from HuffPo.gr, and another from newsbomb.gr. Now the citations are 10. Ten citations are a lot of citations. What's more, the coverage is persistent and spans from 2011 up to 2022, indicating lasting notability. This company has created a stealth kit aeroplane which is quite popular and notable. One of its founders is a retired policeman with no aviation experience. I will try to expand the article whenever I get some time. This is a very interesting and notable company. I will close by noting that Mr. Skartsis has no COI. His book is freely available online. He doesn't stand to profit from this endeavour. In fact, Mr. Skartsis has resuscitated the knowledge base of the old industrial base of Greece by creating articles on en.wiki. His multitude of Greek automobile and industrial articles on en.wiki is a testament to his extensive knowledge, experience, and dedication. I know that, due to cultural bias, Greek manufacturers are not particularly known in North America. I am pleased that, at least, the article was not CSD'ed. That would be too much cultural bias. Dr. K. 22:23, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr.K. At least many of the new references added are not from relable sources (ellines.com, ipop.gr, newsbomb.gr). The coverage on the subject looks like just a reproduction of the point of view of the company, based on YT viedos, company statements etc. For example, presenting this aircraft as the "Greek Stealth bomber fighter" (huffingtonpost.gr), is just ridiculous in my opinion. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 09:09, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. I think all 11 sources are reliable. In particular, non-trivial coverage in the Macedonia newspaper, Flyer magazine, Flying magazine, iefimerida.gr, etc., is indicative of the notability of the subject. HuffPo, newsbeast are also very reliable,. despite your objections. Same goes for the Spanish aviation magazine etc. Even if we subtract the sources you think are unreliable, there are more than enough remaining sources to establish the notability of this article, a fact you seem to de facto recognise, since you didn't say all the sources are unreliable. In any case, I get your POV, I think it is faulty, and I do not wish to continue arguing with you, especially since you seem eager to cause this notable article to be deleted using faulty arguments. You put this article for speedy deletion without doing any due diligence. If you had done so you would have discovered the reliable sources that myself and Mr. Skartsis found and you would not have put this article up for speedy deletion. Thankfully, you were overruled by an admin, Paul McDonald, and there is now a good chance that the article will be saved. Since you have a userbox at your userpage that you participate in AfD discussions, I advise you in future to be more careful when you tag articles for CSD. Also thankfully, we live in a wiki. Other knowledgeable users will undoubtedly chime in, so we don't need to continue this back and forth between us. Finally, you do not need to ping me. First, I find pinging annoying. Second, I have the page watchlisted and, if I wish, I respond. Dr. K. 09:50, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I don't understand why a simple article about an existing, legitimate company with so many references to it, has caused so heated arguments regarding its deletion. It is my turn to wonder why. At some point it even looked like not being familiar with all aspects of Wikepedia, which has tons of articles about individual vehicles or aircraft (even if a single copy was built) - fully corresponding to its spirit and mission. The entire, or most of the Category "Ultralight Aircraft", as well as many other entire Categories, should be deleted according to some of the arguments I read.Skartsis (talk) 10:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr.K. Flyer magazine [27] follows the same pattern as the sources I mentioned: just a reproduction of the company claims based on (a promotional ?) video ("The single-seater, again based on the video, lifts off slowly and needs little room to get back on the ground, all the better for making believe you’re ending the mission by catching the wire. For more info, check out the company’s site, www.aerosports.gr"). Furthermore, the subject of the added sources is a specific model, not the company as a whole. Don't see any really independent coverage on the subject. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 13:23, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are selectively cherry picking sources while ignoring the rest of the WP:RS that exist in the article. Read my previous response. The RS currently in the article do not cover the Archon Stealth kit only. They cover the designer and his history as well. You can benefit by reading them. Also, as I mentioned before, do not ping me. It is annoying. Dr. K. 16:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment my issue is that I'm not convinced that WP:COI and WP:GNG thresholds are met. I'm not convinced because the sources are in a non-English language on an English encyclopedia. I'm more than willing to be wrong here--maybe it DOES meet those thresholds and I'm just not able to confirm. But to me, if the supporting sources aren't in the language of the encyclopedia, that points to trying another wiki that has alignment with the language.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:30, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added one more English language source, and a link to the website of G-Aerosports U.S. Dealer (referring to the Canadian manufacturer that will produce one of its products under license for the North American market). Not notable??...In my eyes, so many sources and such documentation for such a subject, look almost ridiculous... I had said that I would not argue further, but I am puzzled by some of the arguments. It isn't about anybody's promotion (such articles are visited by 1-2 viewers a day, at best). It is about formal inclusion of a decent manufacturer in English WP's database, in exactly the same way so many (similar) others are included - and keep being added. If we favor (for whichever reason) deletion of an article, arguments can always be found.Skartsis (talk) 15:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (edit conflict) WP:TRYANOTHER nowhere mentions that a source must be in the English laguage to be acceptable and, in the absence of an English source, an article must move to the language of these sources. This is a stark misinterpretation of TRYANOTHER. WP:RS does not exclude reliable sources in other languages either. In fact, foreign language sources are widely used in Wikipedia articles all the time, and, sometimes, exclusively. If you don't believe me, ask WP:RSN about that. As far as COI, Mr. Skartsis has removed his book from the article. I don't see any vestiges of COI on his part. Dr. K. 15:53, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My comments about trying another wiki are about finding the best home for the information. No, it doesn't talk about languages and such. It's not a policy or guideline, simply an essay of ideas.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the age of Google translate, I don't think foreign sources are such a challenge any longer. Thank you for the clarification. Dr. K. 16:22, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. There are particular criteria for establishing the notability of a company. Also, unless blatantly obvious (e.g. Blog posts, no attributed journalist, Forbes contributors, etc), I'm assuming all the sources are reliable and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there's more requirements than just "RS" for establishing notability.

Since the topic is a company/organization, we therefore require references that discuss the *company* in detail. As per WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant so long as we find a minimum of two. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content".
"Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. This is usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely only on information provided by the company, quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews fail ORGIND. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.

None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company as follows:

This from makthes.gr relies entirely on an interview with the founder, fails ORGIND
Leaving aside any discussion on whether this from ellines.com is a reliable source, it also relies entirely on an interview with the founder and fails both ORGIND and CORPDEPTH
This from ipop.gr is remarkably similar to the makthes.gr reference above and also relies entirely on an interview with the founder, fails ORGIND
This from transponder1200.com describes one of the planes and does not provide in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
This HuffPost reference repeats parts of an interview from another article and has no in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
This from newsbomb.gr repeats information from another article on one of the aircraft from a blog (blogs fail WP:RS) and provides no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
This from flyinmag.com comments on a video of one of the aircraft, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
This from flyer.co.uk repeats information about the same aircraft as the other refs above, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
This from all-aero.com fails for the same reasons, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
This from SIA Magazine also fails for the same reasons, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
This from iefimerida.gr also fails for the same reasons, no in-depth info on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
Finally, this from makthes.gr relies on an interview, has no information about the company, fails CORPDEPTH

There is possibly a case for an article about the Archon aircraft itself but the topic company fails NCORP criteria. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:11, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As I have said, the whole issue is about the "right" of a given company to be included in Wikipedia's database (which, through endless categories, tries to include even very small manufacturers). I have added yet one more reference. I suggest we all wait until the JULY 2022 OSHKOSH AIR SHOW, where a company model (Archon SF/1) will be presented, and see whether there is adequate publicity and reference.Skartsis (talk) 09:13, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I see the point about yoga retreats being a Thing - there's certainly sourcing for the topic. But I doubt we need a separate article.

@Gardenkur: With Yoga and meditation, you could examine the Spiritual Retreat article which , you will see, is in need of expansion. I would take note of Robert McClenon's good advice rendered below, should you decide to tackle that article. The thing that is most popular among adherents of many faiths is the Vipassana Retreat, which is somewhat along the lines of this article. You could take a look here, here and perhaps, here. We do not have a specific article addressing the Vipassana retreat which combines meditation and some yoga. It is worth exploring, although. The thing is that people from many faiths - and no faith - do attend and attest the value of these retreats. Hope this helps. --Whiteguru (talk) 08:56, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Whiteguru. Thanks for your reply. However if I consider as pointed out by Robert below 1. The article in brief highlights in general the purpose of 1.Meditation and Yoga retreats in simple way 2. Writing it focussed on any individual or group will make it promotional. The article has been sourced from various reliable sources to highlight the importance of such retreats organisation in general by any organisation. Kindly clarify. Gardenkur (talk) 10:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There are at least two problems. First, this reads like an essay or class paper rather than an encyclopedic article. It does not report what reliable sources say about the topic. It is not clear whether there would be an article if the views of reliable sources were reported, but this article does not do that. Second, the topic is unfocused, and it is not clear whether it is about retreat centers, individual or group outings to retreat centers, or what. The closer may decide whether to redirect. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:58, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert McClenon. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for your time and suggestions on this. If the main concern as pointed out by you is agreed by others too, I will try to address that. However, as the concept of Yoga and meditation retreat is spreading globally, hence I feel this article is important as informational source in Wikipedia.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

How times change. The last AfD from 4 years ago was a strong keep, with nobody but the nominator (User:TenPoundHammer) supporting deletion. Yet the keep votes were not policy based - they simply repeated WP:ITSNOTABLE, WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES and like. IMHO the policy falls squarely on the delete side of this debate. The list has almost no references (fails WP:V), if gutted to meet WP:V the article would cease to exist. As a list, it fails WP:LISTN (" One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" - such sources have not been found; if they were, we still have a WP:V issue). As a potential article, it fails WP:IPC, WP:OR. In fact, the topic might be notable (my BEFORE suggests that indeed there may be some sources), not that anything in the article supports this, but nothing here seems salvageable - a proper analytical piece would have to be written from scratch. WP:TNT applies to this TVTropic list, unless someone rewrites this during the ongoing discussion (then we can preserve the old content in the article's history). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:10, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the precedent established at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Far future in fiction to make way for a proper article.

Disambiguate: Pointing to WP:ITSNOTABLE, WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES does not seem fitting, because there are secondary sources! Well, at least if one uses "Los Angeles in fiction" as search words. Like this whole book, or the whole book that is reviewed here; or this whole PhD thesis. (Yeah, yeah, I know, the sources were not specifically noted down in the previous discussion...) Which also means that the topic does not fail WP:LISTN. I also don't see any problem whatsoever with WP:V, as the primary sources are self-evident. And primary sources are fine to use, they just don't establish notability... which is not our problem here. For the same reason I don't see WP:OR here. Allright, as there are currently hardly any sources present, I do see the problem with what to include as notable with regard to the topic. So I suggest to, for the time being, change this to a disambiguation page, basically keeping and expanding the See also section, until someone expands it to a proper prose article or a list with more clearly defined inclusion criterea. This would also preserve what we currently have in the history, which I see as a benefit as experience has shown that some entries will be significant and will appear in secondary sources. Daranios (talk) 14:10, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Daranios The sources you found seem to be about Los Angeles in fiction, not Los Angeles in popular culture. Recently I've been thinking about the distinction between such topics, which is a bit hard to pin down. Related to this is the issue whether we need to standardize some article's names. Might be worth discussing at Wikipedia:WikiProject Popular Culture, which is sadly inactive. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:36, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: In my experience the two designations are used more or less interchangeably on Wikipedia. The essay you referred to, WP:IPC, does that! Looking at the content of our article, the only section one could argue about is In music. And even that can be fiction, if a songtext or video tells a non-factual story. And if it really would hinge on the distinction, and a simple name change to Los Angeles in fiction would clearly solve any supposed notability issues, than that's surely an alternative to deletion that should be taken in the spirit of WP:AtD. Daranios (talk) 19:25, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Daranios I think the name cultural depictions of Los Angeles would be even better (broadest). Pop culture doesn't cover 'classics', and 'in fiction' does seem limiting when it comes to weird stuff like music, culinary applications, LEGO models, historical reenactment, whatever. I'll probably start an RfC somewhere, and ping many folks active here (regarding mass renaming of all 'in fiction'/'in popular culture' articles to 'cultural depictions of'. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:31, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: The question is what the goal is. The current name fits what we currently have. If there are concerns, oh no, that isn't notable, because we only have encompassing sources talking about "in fiction", and not using the term "in popular culture", than the narrower title would solve that. It's not a concern I have, I and I think it would mean playing WP:LISTN against WP:AtD-M for not good reason, but there it is. Changing to "in culture" would open the article to more input, which might solve notability concerns (again, which I don't share) by another route. It does, however, beg the question what to include. Are there some new corners of Category:Culture of Los Angeles that we then would need to think about? So that might be better suited to solve at the more general discussion you have started. Daranios (talk) 10:13, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I stand by what I said in the last AFD. This is just an unverifiable mess, and no one arguing to "keep" in the last AFD gave a concrete reason. The concept is just a random WP:NOTTVTROPES violation that by design calls for a garden variety of unsourced trivia. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 14:19, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - An actual article on the topic would very likely be notable. This list is not, being a ridiculously broad attempt to seemingly list every time that Los Angeles has appeared in fiction, no matter how brief or unimportant that appearance was. There is zero prose text discussing the concept here, and zero reliable sources that would be usable anywhere else, just a list of mostly terrible trivia. Any potential article or section on the actual topic would not benefit at all from the preservation of this list. Additionally, as Reywas92 pointed out, we already have lists serving a navigational purpose for the notable works set in LA, making this list redundant on top of everything else. Rorshacma (talk) 15:28, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If no reliable independent sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it, according to WP:OR. This article is entirely WP:OR based on the observations of editors, with no reliable sources on the topic of how Los Angeles is portrayed in popular culture. I wouldn't rule out someone could write an article about how Los Angeles is imagined, separate from how Los Angeles is. But there would be nothing to WP:PRESERVE from this article, which is entirely constructed in a way that is WP:NOT compatible with Wikipedia policies.

Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article (de facto a list) was improved during the prior AfD when references have been added by User:XOR'easter (it had zero before). Unfortunately, it is still very problematic, as it is a list of media in which this topic appears. There is no source that shows such a list has been subject to discussion outside Wikipedia (fails WP:NLIST: " One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources"). If we look at it as a "in popular culture" article, it fails WP:IPC. I don't see any source that discusses this topic (FLT in fiction, or FLT in popular culture, etc.). Which means this fails WP:OR and WP:GNG; the claim in the lead that "The problem in number theory known as "Fermat's Last Theorem" has repeatedly received attention in fiction and popular culture.", while arguably true, is unreferenced and unless it can be - with a secondary, reliable source that meets WP:SIGCOV - this article a major problem with the above-mentioned policies. While now, yes, referenced, I fear this is simply not encyclopedic material, just a TVTropic, WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of all media which mentions this topic. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:04, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep – Fermat's 1637 claim, only recently proved, is perhaps the most famous problem in mathematics and has captured the imagination of mathematicians and lay people for centuries.The statement that it "has repeatedly received attention in fiction and popular culture" is not just "arguably true," it is amply demonstrated by the article's contents, which our introductions are supposed to summarize. Merriam-Webster defines encyclopedia as "a work that contains information on all branches of knowledge or treats comprehensively a particular branch of knowledge..." It is not a limiting term. The list of instances here could be merged into the primary article without the summary sentence, but that article is already long and splitting out the material in a separate article is appropriate editorial judgement. The contents of this article are of significant interest to our readers. It has survived two deletions reviews. Enough already.--agr (talk) 12:49, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the content passes MOS:POPCULT based on the sources in the article and it is appropriate to have a seperate article on this per WP:SUMMARY. SailingInABathTub (talk) 15:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@SailingInABathTub Please elaborate on how POPCULT is met. It states: "all such references should be discussed in at least one reliable secondary or tertiary source which specifically links the cultural item to the subject of the article. This source should cover the subject of the article in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance in a movie, song, television show, or other cultural item." Which references go beyond mentioning the subject's appearance and "in some depth...links the cultural item to the subject of the article", i.e. provide a non trivial discussion of how a given work of fiction is connected to the topic of the Fermat's Last Theorem? Ideally, a short quotation would be preferred. TIA. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:48, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Per POPCULT: "This guideline does not suggest removing trivia sections, or moving them to the talk page. If information is otherwise suitable, it is better that it be poorly presented than not presented at all."--agr (talk) 17:10, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@ArnoldReinhold The question, then, is our interpretation of "otherwise suitable"... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:25, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SailingInABathTub The sources do suggest that the topic is notable, but precious little if anything from the current article is rescuable (and the sources are not great, since they generally focus on the use of the theorem in one piece of media; they say very little if anything aobut "Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction", as in, they don't address the "big picture" outside few passing mentions. This is the case of WP:TNT, or a proper rewrite needed. Referencing a list of trivia is just, sorry to say, a waste of time. It needs to rewritten into an analytical piece. If you think this can be done with the current sourcing, by all means, take a stab, and ping me when there's a paragraph here that's not a bullet point trivia that FLT was mentioned in The Simpsons or whatever. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:30, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that prose is preferable to a list format, but this can be resolved through the normal editing process. SailingInABathTub (talk) 11:57, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It could, if there was anything to rescue except categories and external links/see also. As thing stand, the only difference between hard and soft deletion would be that in the latter case, edit history would be preserved. I would, in fact, prefer this outcome, but it would require someone to start rewriting this properly now, during the AfD. Otherwise, this will be deleted, with no prejudice to someone writing this anew from scratch. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:22, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is your policy-based reasoning that there is nothing to be rescued? WP:OR? I think that it's clear from the reliable sources that exist, that they directly support the content. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:40, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And POPCULT. Yes, we can reference that such and such work mentioned this, but it is OR to claim this constitutes a notable example of the use of this work. Maybe a few sentences could be salvaged, like the content about The Simpsons, but first, we need to have at least a stubish few sentences about the main topic. We can't have an article that consists of a claim that FLT has been extensively referenced in fiction backed up with no reliable source saying this, then one or two or three examples. Such a tiny article, at best, would merit an immediate merger to Fermat's_Last_Theorem#In_popular_culture. In fact, now that I look, that section is already in prose format and superior to this OPish article, which contains even less analysis, and just more trivial examples. As such, I'd suggest we just redirect this there, with no loss of non-trivial content. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:49, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not make the claim that "FLT has been extensively referenced in fiction". The article only claims that it has "repeatedly received attention in fiction and popular culture" a claim which is validated by the sources that I have provided and that you yourself in your nomination acknowledge is true. SailingInABathTub (talk) 17:34, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SailingInABathTub As I said, due to sparsity of examples meeting IPC, there is not much to rescue here. We could possibly have a stub of few sentences, but what's the point, given that we have a perfectly acceptable section in the main article that would be its exact duplicate? That section now has a proper lead in sentence I've added based on a source you found, and discusses the two apparently most famous appearances in media and pop culture that you also referenced, i.e. the Star Trek and The Simpsons use. What else is there to keep? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:38, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think we both know that almost everything that has a half decent source in this article will then end up in main article, only for the section to be split off once again per WP:SUMMARY and David_Eppstein (talk · contribs). It's pointless to delete a notable article that is clearly needed. SailingInABathTub (talk) 22:43, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The argument that we should keep bad content in location A to keep it out of location B is a terrible one. Just remove the bad content instead. Having a weak-scope sub-article for the sole purpose of keeping the main article clean is a bad solution that stems from a reluctance to remove excessive material that doesn't improve the main article. As WP:CARGO says: Moving bad content into a separate standalone article does not get rid of the bad content. TompaDompa (talk) 16:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as Wikipedia articles are supposed to (a) meet our policies and (b) have reliable independent sources, despite bald claims that WP:ITSFAMOUS. This article is entirely WP:OR, built off the original observations of various editors, without any reliable sources. WP:OR says if no reliable independent sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. No independent reliable sources have provided WP:SIGCOV of the topic of this theorem in popular culture. Even if such sources appeared, there would be nothing to WP:PRESERVE from this article as it is composed of entirely WP:NOT suitable content. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:29, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge. I think it's obvious that this article should either be kept or merged into Fermat's_Last_Theorem#In_popular_culture, which is a short version of this article. The topic is of high interest. The claim by Shooterwalker that it is OR ignores the fact that collecting information from outside is what an encyclopedia does; that is not an argument against keeping this. Zaslav (talk) 21:14, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, do not merge. The existence of this article is necessary, per Wikipedia:Summary style, as an overflow valve to keep the example farm in the main article from being overrun with minor examples, as it has already started to do again today in edits by User:Piotrus and User:Zaslav in the wake of this AfD. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:51, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- PS I also found a publication (in Spanish) overviewing this exact subject: [28]. It is also covered in multiple paragraphs (although not the main topic of the article) at [29]. So there's a case for WP:GNG notability for this specific topic. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:12, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@David Eppstein Uh, do you even look at the content? Zaslav didn't add anyting, but removed much content. I added an example that arguably is not "minor", but arguably the most relevant analytical "big treatment" we have, and that wasn't present in either article. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:33, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: Did you even look at the edit history? At the time I made this comment, Zaslav's only edit was Special:Diff/1089087979, which was indeed an addition. The removal came later. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:38, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you still misunderstood my comment, and Zaslav changed his half an hour later, so... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:02, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good argument, but one can't compare the importance of Arthur Porges's classic story, which is all about the mathematics, with a minor Star Trek episode. I'm tempted to cut out the truly trivial from the main page. Zaslav (talk) 22:23, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Adding to David Eppstein's length argument: the main page is already overloaded (much too long). Even cutting out "Popular culture" entirely would not make a difference. Zaslav (talk) 22:35, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Zaslav I don't understand what your argument has to do with the keep? Are you opposing the merger? That's fine, but why keep the list of trivia on Wikipedia at all? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:34, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct, but I'm not prepared to decide whether there is enough material here to make an article, so I'm suggesting keep until someone can prune out the inappropriate trivia. If nothing much is left, then we can merge the remainder. If much remains, we can keep it. I hope this answers you well. Zaslav (talk) 22:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think you're all missing the actual solution here: create a proper prose article on the broader topic Mathematics in fiction (currently a WP:REDLINK), cover Fermat's Last Theorem there in WP:PROPORTION to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject, and then redirect this title there. This should be a satisfactory WP:PAGEDECIDE solution to everyone since the topic of Mathematics in fiction actually does have WP:Significant coverage as an overarching topic in multiple WP:Reliable sources. If I find the time, I'll probably do this in the coming days. I must also say I am not sympathetic to the view that we should have articles like this as an overflow valve to keep the example farm in the main article from being overrun with minor examples—if it is indeed an WP:EXAMPLEFARM, the solution is to get rid of it rather than to move it elsewhere (see the essay WP:CARGO: Moving bad content into a separate standalone article does not get rid of the bad content.) TompaDompa (talk) 03:38, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Mathematics in fiction is clearly a notable topic, with multiple publications devoted to it ([30] [31] [32] [33] [34]). But the existence of a broader umbrella topic that might also be notable is not a useful way of deciding whether a specific topic is notable, and not a solution. There's no way such an umbrella article can cover all of the topics over which it is an umbrella, at the full depth that those topics would be covered individually. I think circle-squaring in Dante's Divine Comedy may be borderline notable, for instance (I can point to at least three publications that discuss it in-depth, two of them devoted specifically to it), for instance: is your umbrella article on mathematics in fiction going to cover all of the detail that would be covered in a separate article? —David Eppstein (talk) 04:59, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's possible some subarticles would be warranted, but so what? Right now we don't have enough content for Fermat's Last Theorem outside of a tiny stub, which deserves to be included as a subsection in larger scope articles anyway. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:00, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - I wasn't making a point about notability, I was making a point about the best way to cover the topic on Wikipedia. Hence my reference to WP:PAGEDECIDE, which explicitly says There are other times when it is better to cover notable topics, that clearly should be included in Wikipedia, as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context. What we currently have here is a bullet list that enumerates examples of Fermat's Last Theorem appearing in works of fiction, with no overarching analysis whatsoever. That's not a proper encyclopaedic article, that's a TV Tropes list. If this were to be converted to a proper prose article on Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction, with overarching analysis about Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction, based on reliable secondary and/or tertiary sources specifically about the topic of Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction, the issue would be moot.
      is your umbrella article on mathematics in fiction going to cover all of the detail that would be covered in a separate article? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that is supposed to summarize available information. An article with a broader scope going into less detail on a subsection of its scope than a hypothetical stand-alone article with a narrower scope is not necessarily a bad thing, it can be a proper application of WP:PROPORTION. However, as noted above, we do not at present have enough content for a proper article on the subject of Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction to begin with, so this is rather academical. The problem here is that this is a bad article, and as was admitted above, this is by design because it is meant to be an overflow valve to keep the example farm in the main article from being overrun with minor examples.
      If I had the sources to rewrite this as a proper encyclopaedic prose article about the subject (rather than just collating examples), I would do so. I have done so for numerous other articles, see e.g. WP:Articles for deletion/Eco-terrorism in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Earth in science fiction (2nd nomination) (though most of the expansion was done by Piotrus later), WP:Articles for deletion/Space stations and habitats in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Supernovae in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Neptune in fiction, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genies in popular culture (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Thermopylae in popular culture, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Loch Ness Monster in popular culture (2nd nomination). I've also done the same thing for several articles that weren't brought to WP:AfD, such as Immortality in fiction, Moon in science fiction, and Mercury in fiction, all of which are WP:Good articles). This is all to say that there is a way to write quality articles about X in fiction/popular culture/whatever, and the current state of this article categorically isn't it. TompaDompa (talk) 14:27, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to propose a compromise alternative, which is to move this to Mathematics in fiction for now, with the explicit possibility of breaking it out into a new article again if 1) the proposed article grows large enough that it merits subdivision, and 2) content on this specific aspect continues to grow (without the addition of trivialities) to the point that it merits more than a subsection in a mathematics in fiction article. As it stands, I think that it does not. However, there are plenty of movies (almost to the point of tropedom), where the janitor or some idiot savant solves the unsolvable problem left on the blackboard. BD2412 T 06:40, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@BD2412 May I suggest that you try to at least stub such an entry first, then we could redirect the current article there? The problem is that most of the examples here are irrelevant (i.e. that listing them fails MOS:POPCULT: "Cultural references about a subject should not be included simply because they exist. Rather, all such references should be discussed in at least one reliable secondary or tertiary source which specifically links the cultural item to the subject of the article"). So just changing a name is hardly an improvement if that cruft will stay.

The topic is notable, but the article is an WP:ORish essay that merits either a WP:TNT or cutting down to bare bones (the lead), unless someone feels like rewriting this. It has been tagged as a "a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay" since 2010. No surprise, given it was indeed someone's ORish essay from 2004 ([35]). Over the years, it hasn't changed much - it has been wikified and slightly expanded, but it still is mostly unreferenced. Much of the content is not even on topic. The first section, "Traditional theories of popular culture", introduces three theories (with no indication which scholar or scholars think they are relevant to the topic, i.e. traditional theories of popculture). The first two subsections, about mass society and culture industry, don't even discuss popular culture. The problems continue through the article. It is a decent essay, but a terrible encyclopedic article (the title should be "anonymous editor musings on what they thought is meant by popculture studies"). In 20 years, it hasn't changed much. It's high time to blow this up, or at minimum, reduced to the lead section (and bibliography, which should be renamed to 'further reading'), and then expand with proper sources and an encyclopedic style (on that note, the article still uses the phrase "of course" twice...). PS. I hope nobody brings up the AFDNOTCLEANUP. This cannot be cleaned up, 20 years failed at that. It needs radical treatment (deletion of 99% of the content)±. This is why I bring this to AfD (I could just blank everything except the lead myself, but I think that would not be best practice...).

Keep. The OP is correct that this article needs a major overhaul. It should be nominated at Articles for Improvement perhaps, but it clearly passes WP:GNG as there are countless mentions of the term across scholarly sources and otherwise. Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 23:05, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why would deleting be better than wiping most of it and rewriting? According to WP:ATD, If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page. I think it's clear that editing can improve this article. Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 23:43, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pyrrho the Skipper WP:TNT explains the other side of the coin. Although yes, in this case, I think a few sentences (the very lead) are rescuable. But as I said, I don't think it's fair to blank 99% of the article without a discussion (theoretically, according to Wikipedia rules, I could've just redirected this to popular culture, per WP:SOFTDEL, etc., but I also think that's not best practices), and AfD is IMHO the right venue to announce the intention to get rid of vast amount of content. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. To address the nominator's points more specifically, I think there is enough here to salvage the article in terms of trimming down to the lead, and perhaps a "History of the term" section. That would be easy enough, and I would be happy to do it, if the AfD tag is removed. Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 00:12, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pyrrho the Skipper It's ok to attempt a major rewrite during an AfD, and I'd be happy to withdraw this AfD if I think the article has improved sufficiently. Otherwise I'd be happy to recommend draftification of this in your userspace, if you'd prefer not to do anything during an AfD. But withdrawing now risks the article not being changed, and this is not something I am prepared to do. From my perspective, by the time this AfD is finished, the article needs to be fixed, one way or another, and keeping it in the current version is not fixing it. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:15, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus.

I am extremely conscious of the ongoing debates about guidelines for sportspeople. This debate is one where there is a good-faith disagreement about the interpretation of a guideline. Whilst I am entitled to give lesser weight to contributions that don't have basis in policy, I am not required to write them off entirely. And what we have here is a great many arguments to keep versus a very small, but higher-quality, set of arguments to delete. These in my view net off against one another, and I do not find a consensus to delete.

Anyone who feels merging or redirecting is appropriate is not enjoined from doing so, either by way of WP:BB, or by starting a talk page discussion.

As with all my AFD closures, I have considered this very carefully and will not change my decision based on talk page messages. Anyone wishing to contest the closure may proceed directly to DRV and I waive any and all requirements, expectations, etc. to consult me first. Stifle (talk) 08:55, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"No evidence of notability" - playing for the national team would suggest otherwise. Ironically, after the almost complete annihilation of WP:NSPORT, she passes WP:NCRIC ("Have played at the international level for a Test-playing nation"). However, if sources cannot be found in this instance, then redirect to List of Pakistan women ODI cricketers, per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP and WP:CHEAP. I'll ask the article's other contributor to see if they can find anything more. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:26, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We delete any article which doesn't have significant coverage. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 09:37, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't true, articles can be nominated for deletion, but if there is a likelihood that sourcing may exist (potentially offline in more historic sportsmen and women, or in other languages that can be more difficult to find in a BEFORE search) then articles can be kept. I've seen this in a number of football related articles that have gone through AfD in the past few months. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:31, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. That simply isn't the case, international sportspeople who have played at the highest level have presumed coverage. Especially in cricket, where the subject is from a cricket mad country, which will have written coverage. Sadly, Pakistani print media isn't digitalised, but hey... let's create Anglopedia, where only things covered digitally in the Anglosphere count! StickyWicket (talk) 12:37, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:NCRIC says that significant coverage is likely to exist, not that it is presumed to exist or that notability is presumed. It's enough to make a prod inappropriate, but not enough to keep the article at AFD when it fails both WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT #5 - the latter of which means passing WP:NCRIC is irrelevant, as she fails the broader WP:NSPORT guidelines.

Redirect is not appropriate, as it is ambiguous - other people with the same name are mentioned in other articles, including a Pakistani Javelin thrower. BilledMammal (talk) 03:10, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In that case a dab page should be created - existence of other people is no reason to deprive this person of findability via a redirect. As well as the javelin thrower there seems also to be a composer &/or singer of film theme tunes - see Saari Bhool Hamari Thi, Mujhay Sandal Kar Do and Meray Khwab Raiza Raiza. PamD 09:45, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The search function is more effective for that, as it will allow readers to find all people by this name, while the dab page is likely to be unmaintained and exclude many. BilledMammal (talk) 03:44, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But you could say that of any dab page. Perhaps you don't believe in creating them at all? PamD 05:11, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of disambiguation pages is to help the reader to navigate quickly from the page that first appears to any of the other possible desired articles. Those that disambiguate between notable topics and significant mentions do this; the search results are often extensive and include many passing mentions on different topics from the one the reader is searching for.

Those that disambiguate between passing mentions do the opposite; they might provide a link to the wrong passing mention, such as linking to List of Pakistan women ODI cricketers when the reader wants Pakistan women's cricket team in Australia and New Zealand in 1996–97, or they might miss passing mentions that were added more recently due to the pages not being maintained. For this, the search function is more effective. BilledMammal (talk) 15:38, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For most purposes, the search function is actually pretty awful. It's great at generating a jumble of articles that contain both of two words, but not so great in providing a relevant proximity. BD2412 T 04:55, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Normally, yes, but when the name is not shared by anyone notable I believe it works better than trying to maintain a disambiguation page - and I note that we aren't going to be adding all the non-notable but mentioned John Smith's to John Smith. BilledMammal (talk) 05:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – passes WP:NCRIC. She played for her national side in 1997, when there were hardly any Pakistani publication online. So finding any online WP:SIGCOV content about her today, is near to zero. But we can't challenge the existence of such sources in offline media, libraries, papers, magazines and books etc (WP:NCRIC also support this assumption). I'll agree with those voicing for deletion, if they can extraordinarily look into all offline medias and then claim non existence of significant coverage. Till then big noo to deletion. Radioactive (talk) 23:51, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Probably keep - the arguments that have been made about a reasonable assumption that sources might exist is a fair one here I think - one appearance in a very minor match and I might suggest otherwise, but three matches against NZ and Australia means I tend to think it's reasonable, even if the team she played in was incredibly weak in comparison. Online sources will be problematic, and the gender bias in cricket sources of any kind at the time she played, especially those from south Asia, means that I have some doubts about proper in depth coverage - there have been cases in the past where we've struggled to find anything at all. In that case we would obviously, and I do mean really obviously, be looking at a redirect to an article such as List of Pakistan women ODI cricketers, if necessary, really, really obviously again, via a dab page if absolutely required - or whenever it's required. There are so many arguments in favour of this approach as opposed to deletion and I do, I'm afraid, struggle to understand the delete votes here. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:55, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. No SIGCOV has been found, and more importantly, there is no evidence to suggest that coverage generally does exist for 90s Pakistani women's international cricket players. No offline sources that would potentially offer coverage have been identified, so the best option here is to redirect until someone with the requisite access can produce GNG sourcing. JoelleJay (talk) 03:08, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP per Rugbyfan22 and StickyWicket. Passes WP:NCRIC. MelvinHans (talk) 21:13, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
NCRIC does not confer notability, it predicts whether GNG is likely to be met. If editors show GNG is not met then passing NCRIC holds very little weight. JoelleJay (talk) 04:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And WP:NCRIC is not met, because the guideline is WP:NSPORT, and WP:SPORTCRIT #5 is failed. BilledMammal (talk) 05:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if someone can show me where anyone has shown that GNG is not met? Has anyone attempted to access Urdu written sources, for example? Even attempted to? To suggest that the article be deleted when an obvious and clearly appropriate redirect target exists, without even attempting to see whether there are suitable paper-based sources strikes me as being directly opposed to a reasonable expectation of behaviour. Given that the RfC proposal which applies most obviously here stated clearly that articles should be grandfathered in some way, I find the suggestion that we delete rather than redirect even odder to fathom.

Redirect to Vizing's theorem after adding a sentence.

The result was no consensus. There is clearly not a consensus to delete this content – if anything, the closest thing to a consensus is "don't delete". However, there is also no consensus here on what is the right alternative: to keep the content as its own page – presumably under a different title, since the one thing most seem to agree on is that the page is poorly named – or to merge the content into some other relevant page(s). Those alternatives can be hashed out elsewhere and at this point deletion seems the least desired result, so I am closing this AfD. RL0919 (talk) 00:16, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Easily confused Buddhist representations

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article title and the article is WP:SYNTHESIS about various Buddhist deities, which are "easily confused". The "Easily confused Buddhist representations" has no academic basis and is an WP:OR term. We already have articles Buddhahood, Buddharupa and Boddhisattva, where the referenced information can be suitably merged. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 15:46, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Merge but at the very least rename, or merge somewhere. If we had a decent article on the Iconography of the Buddha or Buddha in art, much of it could go there, but (pathetically) we don't - that redirects to Iconography of Gautama Buddha in Laos and Thailand. The title is obviously crap, but the delete votes don't seem to have looked beyond that, & offer no rationales for deletion (I just don't understand what SusanLesch is saying). User:Redtigerxyz, you haven't proposed a merge, or merges, but deletion. If it's deleted, it can't be suitably merged. As things are, it could be tacked on to Buddhist art.

Ok, thanks. I'm not sure why that's an argument for deletion though. It's silly in a title (or not the wiki way) but there's no doubt that non-Buddhists and no doubt many Buddhists can be "easily confused" as to the identity of eg the main and other images in shrines, & an attempt to redress this has a place somewhere on wp. Johnbod (talk) 14:40, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod, Buddharupa includes the iconography of the Buddha. I have merged the Dhyani Buddha part in the Five Tathāgatas, but a complete merge in 1 article is not advisable. Also, leaving a "crap" title redirect to any other article seems to be not a good option.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:22, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't suggesting a merge leaving a redirect, though that could anyway be dealt with separately if you dislike it that much. Buddharupa badly needs a rename - I had no idea that was what it was about, and had never looked at it. No wonder it gets under 60 views a day, and has not been developed much. It's pretty inadequate. I don't really see why "a complete merge in 1 article is not advisable" actually. At the very least, the references here are much better than those at Buddharupa (very poor) even if little use is made of most of them. We have so ridiculously little on Buddhist art, it seems perverse to set about deleting stuff. In fact, Buddharupa claims at the start to cover images of all Buddhas, but in fact only covers Gautama, so this stuff would (all) be useful additions there. Btw, the Visual arts sort list is the correct one for this, not "Arts". Johnbod (talk) 17:34, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I concur that the lack of Buddha in art is ridcolous. Jesus in art redirects to Depictions of Jesus. We do have Depictions of Gautama Buddha in film. I am sadly not familiar with the topic in question, but I do think that some content would belong to Depictions of Buddha. Is there anyone who could stub something on this so we would have a merge target? User:Uncle G, any chance this tickles your fancy? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We should stick with Buddharupa, and rename it, for now. The point of the article under discussion is that is is principally about images of other buddhas, not Gautama. Johnbod (talk) 14:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've also redirected Buddha in art there, for now. I'm happy to merge this (Easily Confused..) into Buddharupa. I think at some point we need to decide whether a single "Buddhas in art" (all of them) or two articles: "Gautama/The Buddha in art" plus one on other Buddhas in art. If the articles were better they might need splitting on grounds of length. An alternative is to move this to a title to be decided - maybe Buddhas and bodhisattvas in art - and clarify that the scope of Buddharupa is just images of Gautama (and renaming it). In that case I could start an expansion of this one, which lacks many of the most basic points. Johnbod (talk) 01:02, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[39][40] Buddharupa should cover only Gautama Buddha. Iconography of Gautama Buddha in Laos and Thailand (which started as Iconography of the Buddha) has common elements of the Buddha iconography. Would suggest merging into Buddharupa and having an article Iconography of Gautama Buddha or likewise. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm happy to keep Buddharupa to cover only Gautama Buddha, which really only involves changing the first senence. But probably this should be proposed at the talk there. In that case I would suggest keeping this, renaming and re-writing it. Some would survive. I'm not so sure about merging Iconography of Gautama Buddha in Laos and Thailand, which works well as a more local article. Again, that would need a discussion there.

Statecraft (political science)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is not a notable concept in the sense that it's used in the article. The most common way of using the term is a notable concept (e.g. [41]) but the concept in the article is primarily linked to one scholar and its meaning seems rather mundane (it's just coalition maintenance). It's also confusing and misleading to readers to state that this is the political science version of "statecraft" when the actual political science version of statecraft means something entirely different (something closer to grand strategy and diplomacy).

Episode 1 (Primeval season 1)

There are only individual articles on two out of the 36 episodes of Primeval, which feels markedly inconsistent (either they should go or more should be created - these two appear to be an holdover since the rest of the episode articles were deleted a while ago). The sources used for both are sub-par and no better sources will be possible to find for the individual episodes. A good article on a single episode (see for instance Ozymandias (Breaking Bad)) should incorporate more extensive information on both reception and production, which will not be possible here. Anything deemed relevant in these could be transferred over to the recently created article on the respective series: Primeval (series 1). This is not to mention that the title is a misnomer since the seasons of Primeval are called "series". Borgor2233 (talk) 08:46, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I read it at the time, just didn't have anything new to reply.

It allocates about 3 sentences on the Life Speaks to Me song, spending more time detailing Basshunter's past accomplishments. That it also reads like a press release also gives it less weight it in my eyes.

- @QuietHere: "deletion proposals and DYK proposals are two different conversations so this "RfD is fake" line makes no sense" - I did not refer to two places of discussion. I mean Legoktm just thought refernces are bad so for him it was not enough to notability. So I have checked these sources and provided additional information at talk page. He didn't not look at it and not answered - just nominated AfD - it's like it looks. Eurohunter (talk) 17:45, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    That's not even what I was saying, I was saying that you calling this discussion "fake"/illegitimate and dismissing it with a "What are we doing here?" is silly and rude because starting an XfD shouldn't be negated by some other ongoing discussion unless that discussion is about fixing problems with the page that the XfD is also addressing. And besides, Legoktm already said they looked at the sources you provided and that they weren't any good so accusing them of ignoring you is baseless.
    
    As for redirecting, yes, do that. Dunno why that isn't just the default option anyway. If there's an artist/discography page then why wouldn't you redirect to it? QuietHere (talk) 17:37, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @QuietHere: He had his arguments and I provided additional information to explain the situation - so in normal discussion you expect that he will provide any answer negative or positive, whatever. It's easy to say after that he not noticed improvements so he not answered. You expect an answer otherwise it can be considered as ignored. Without answer you don't know if for him nothing changed or he just ignored it. Eurohunter (talk) 17:52, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The argument in this case has focused on whether the coverage of the subject is "significant" according to the terms of the General Notability Guideline. Sports figures often receive routine mentions in news coverage of their sport and/or data sources for competition statistics, and this type of coverage is not generally seen as establishing notability. The early discussion was largely a debate over whether there was enough coverage beyond that level to establish the notability of this person. The later participants have clearly weighed in with a consensus that there is not enough significant coverage at this time. Given that this subject is a living person and still active in the sport, that could easily change over time, but for this discussion the result is Delete.

He just won in the series and is on the radar on a major motorsports RS in the United States. Just because the first editor of this article is currently blocked doesn't change the notability of the subject.

SNGs such as NMOTORSPORT exist to determine if a subject is likely to meet the GNG. It is not a guarantee either way. Many subjects pass GNG which don't meet their respective SNG, while others who may meet an SNG do not pass the GNG. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 04:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~Delete~~ - Actually passes WP:NMOTORSPORT 4.1. Lapcevich won a round of a primarily-professional series of significant national importance, also noted by @Royalbroil. I don't see why this fails WP:GNG. If the race itself is notable enough for an article, I don't see why this driver is not. ~XyNq^t_c 16:14, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see why this fails WP:GNG. If the race itself is notable enough for an article, I don't see why this driver is not. - Thank you for highlighting a major, major problem within Wikiproject: Motorsport/Wikiproject: NASCAR. The article you link to was made by the same user who made this article, who made the article with absolutely zero regard for notability requirements. We have many editors who do such things and we simply cannot send all of these articles to AfD faster than what they are made. The fact that a massive cleanup is needed in this wikiproject should not be used as an argument in this particular AfD and I implore the closing admin to reject this argument. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 16:25, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see, I wasn't aware that article was created by the same person, I just saw it existed. In the case of that then, this article probably could be deleted along with the race article. I also notice all other links in the results list are redirects to the track itself and not synopses of the race. However, I do maintain that the driver in question does pass NMOTORSPORT, but needs more biographical info to constitute an article. ~XyNq^t_c 16:55, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but of the 4 additional sources added, this and this are press releases which fail WP:V as they are not independent of the subject, while this and this are WP:ROUTINE news releases with no SIGCOV. None of these can count towards GNG for those reasons. We cannot write an encyclopedic article from these, and Wikipedia is not a mindless database. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 01:15, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There might be more content now but sourcing hasn't improved. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 01:33, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The PR sources should be fine because they are only being referenced to show Lapcevich's participation in race series. The general concern outlined for press releases at WP:PRSOURCE seems to be focused on how press releases can include undue praise. Also I'm concerned how you think those two articles you addressed as routine have no significant coverage of Lapcevich as the articles cover him completely and directly. Not to mention, they are not routine articles much at all: the one about Lapcevich being slated to drive in Tagliani's car was published 5 days before the scheduled event. Far from routine if you ask me, unless you consider driver debuts as routine. ~XyNq^t_c 02:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I should add that press releases explicitly fail the GNG by default. Furthermore, race teams make last minute announcements all of the time; the timing of these announcements has zero bering on their ROUTINEness, instead their content does. Both articles make a passing mention of finishing 3rd place in the "Ontario APC Series" but don't go into any further detail, since both articles are routine in their coverage. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 03:01, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're seriously stretching how ROUTINE is defined. While I think there shouldn't be two articles used there since they're pretty much about the same thing, I disagree that they're routine. The fact that you are stretching the definition of routine so much implores me to bring up the fact that, as said in WP:NOTROUTINE, WP:ROUTINE is a guideline intended for citing in articles about events (hence ROUTINE's much less used shortcut WP:DOGBITESMAN). ~~You are leaning much too heavily on trying to tear this article down based on stretching interpretation of guidelines.~~ Regarding your issue with those press releases failing GNG: if you want to stretch definitions, you could argue that those press releases are independent of Lapcevich himself because he did not make and publish them, therefore making them valid sources because they are independent. At worst article could be modified to mention that was referenced in a PR. Also, I'm curious, how does only a passing mention of him placing 3rd in a series constitute an article being routine? I'm not trying to ask that maliciously, I'm genuinely curious what your rationale is there. ~XyNq^t_c 04:18, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, there is nothing to tear down because, as I have already said there is nothing with which to write an encyclopedic article about this subject. Please strike this accusation. I'm not stretching anything. Both of them essentially say "Subject announced to drive for Team in Race/Series." That is the very definition of routine. Both of them offer very little, if any detail on the subject himself, other than what I already mentioned. These basic news announcements are not enough. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 05:12, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the statement put on the article that is referencing that piece isn't particularly large here and only really is using it for what I said, that is, noting the fact of his debut in the series. I won't fall back on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS despite how tempting it is (at least this group isn't as bad as WP:OLYMPICS, you should see that). and I do enjoy having a discussion on this really. It's generally hard to find coverage of auto racing drivers from independent or non-"routine" sources. Also again with ROUTINE being an events guideline, if this article was "Participation of Treyton Lapcevich in the ACP series" then I would agree to delete it. But this article is not that. Also, I apologise for the false accusation. I striked it, as mentioned. ~XyNq^t_c 05:33, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GhostOfDanGurney is correct here, press releases are definitely, unequivocally rejected from consideration for notability; and failing ROUTINE is a widely-accepted rationale at athlete AfDs when referring to general competitor announcements (it is more often called "transactional coverage" in football, cricket, etc.).

Dearest one,

I tried to find all the notable clues and I found a few. Popular US film news outlets (such as Deadline, Scriptmag, Prnewswire, The Daily Star, Dhaka Tribune) have featured various news articles about him. There is no question about his notability. Atiqul Islam Sakib (talk) 06:26, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No independent significant coverage to establish notability. The cited sources are interviews without independent analysis by the interviewer, or passing mentions, mostly in regurgitated press releases hyping one upcoming film or another. The deepest, Prothom Alo, contains a scant five sentences about Akbar. The two movie reviews don't blame him explicitly for The Commando being "spectacularly atrocious ... distinguished by an incompetence" and being filled with "egregious implausibilities and cliches" and "pernicious nonsense", but he presumably bears some responsibility. This hagiography cherry picks from the reviews to support the statement that he wrote, directed, and produced the film, but with nary a hint that his effort "will appeal only to connoisseurs of 'how bad can it be?' cinema". --Worldbruce (talk) 17:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or redirect - This same user has nominated every Tuvulu footballer for deletion (and a few other mostly Oceania countries). The fact is, the reason we can’t find coverage is that the only major news outlet, Fenui News, is not online (it has a Facebook page but that page only gives summaries). A proper WP:BEFORE would be to go to Tuvalu’s museums, libraries, etc. If there is still no coverage there, then fine, delete. But unless you did such research you are literally wiping out a nation’s sporting history just because they don’t have good internet access, which is unacceptable.

Relisting comment: Still no consensus concerning notability
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Less Unless (talk) 10:36, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I argue for notability as the NGO is featured as a main item (not just a brief mention) on the Commons Library for social change (an increasingly popular and credible source to all entities and resources related to community organizing)

The organization is also referenced in a credible journal inside a research paper presenting it as the main practitioner and teacher of the Public Narrative practice (the paper's topic) initially produced by LCN's founder, Marshall Ganz.

Multiple independent secondary resources reference and present the organization as appears in the article's references.

The entity's notability is not temporary, as it's active, ongoing and has significant on-ground projects around the world.

Based on these facts, my point of view is that the entity is discussed in reliable independent sources and is notable per se, and has not merely inherited notability from its founder. I wish to note that we should not be inclined to judge it "not notable" just because the founder is notable. An entity could have a notable founder and still be sufficiently notable on its own (even if less than the founder) without having inherited notability.

Thank you. Spongebobsquarepants246 (talk) 15:05, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see notability as a non issue with this article. Just because it needed some editing work for promotional concerns doesn't mean no pass for notability.

Regarding WP:GNG, I would consider notable coverage to include the Verge and TechCrunch sources, established publications that report on climate technologies and startup companies. There is additional notable coverage in other established publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, which can be used here as a source in addition, or instead, or existing sources. Conner at Bloom Energy (talk) 02:04, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would be grateful for the opportunity to prepare an updated draft for you or another neutral editor, utilizing additional notable sources and ensuring the article is neutral, drawing only from notable public coverage and secondary sources. There is an emerging market for this new climate technology category -- of which Rondo is one of several notable companies. These new technologies (not uniquely Rondo's) are a matter of public interest and receiving notable coverage. Conner at Bloom Energy (talk) 02:23, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The WSJ & Verge pieces are mostly based off company sources, with the independent text mostly talking about the industry in general or competitors, so they would fail WP:ORGIND.

Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. Far from it being a "matter of interpretation", WP:NCORP guidelines can be summarised as requiring multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage (in reliable sources) with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria (all rely entirely on info from the company and their execs with no "Independent Content") and I can't find any that does. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:46, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I took a look at the WSJ coverage and it's just a founder interview, so fails the independence criterion. I disagree with User:Huggums537 - the criteria are a bright line, and this company doesn't meet it. The connected contributor is why this article on a non-notable company exists, and the direct editing is inappropriate per our COI guidelines, but we don't delete articles to punish people. This article should be deleted because the company (the company, not the industry) does not meet WP:NCORP. FalconK (talk) 03:30, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certain that if we had access to archives of Zëri i Popullit in the 1970s, we'd find plenty of mentions and input. https://www.revistarambla.com/ismail-kadare-en-barcelona/ affirms that the association acted as Albanian representation and had monopoly of travel to Albania.

Keep. Aside from the sources in the article, the NGO is covered in the eighth chapter of La Transición en directo: narrativas digitales de una historia reciente and Aragón Digital. Its activities (in particular its connections to the PCE (M-L)) seem to have significant coverage from multiple independent RS. Page needs to be improve to include more of this, but WP:DEL-CONTENT reminds us that [i]f editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page. And, since this is a non-commercial organization with activities that had international scope and were covered significantly by multiple independent RS, this article passes the relevant notability criteria of WP:NGO.— Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 16:26, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could this be a proper article? Probably. But the current TVTropic listicle is not the way to do it. Like dozens of similar lists of trivial mentions, this poorly referenced piece fails numerous policies, guidelines and like: as an 'in popular culture' article, WP:IPC and MOS:POPCULT/TRIVIA, as a list, WP:NLIST and WP:SALAT, as a potential topic, WP:GNG and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, due to lack of references, partially WP:OR and WP:V. Information like "In George Romero's horror film Diary of the Dead (2007), a deaf Amish man appears and helps the main survivors before killing himself, after being infected." is pure noise and not even on topic. Once again, a listing of all media which mentions the term Amish is not the same as analyzing, in an encyclopedic style, the connection between Amish and the popular culture, or their portrayals. This needs to be based on reliable, WP:SIGCOV-meeting secondary sources, and an ORish dupe of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/Amish is not the way to go. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:28, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The OP has a valid point when it comes to this article. I support merging all the reliably sourced information to Amish#In popular culture. That way there would still be something about popular culture and the Amish, but it wouldn't need to be its own article. However, this page could also be a redirect so that someone in the future could, if they so chose, follow the advice of the OP, add appropriate reliable sources and avoid the list becoming indiscriminate and falling into original research. --Historyday01 (talk) 13:07, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Historyday01 How does merging refenced trivia like "Crimson Stain is the true story of Edward Gingerich, the only Amish man ever convicted of homicide, that is involuntary manslaughter, while being diagnosed with schizophrenia." or "The Simpsons, Season 6, Episode 1 (1994), Season 14, Episode 19 (2003)" (that doesn't even explain the context, I guess Amish appeared in that episode?) would benefit the Amish article? What we need for that section (or the article) are secondary sources that discuss the relation between Amish in pop culture, which is not the same as listing of media in which Amish are mentioned. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:06, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I hear what you are saying, but if someone carefully went through the sourced content and organized it in a correct manner, then it could be a substantive section in that article. Historyday01 (talk) 12:13, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Historyday01 I do believe I looked and I didn't notice any analysis, just description (as in, "Amish appeared in work X"). If you saw a single sentence that you think is worth rescuing, please tell us which - such content can always be merge to the main Amish article. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:50, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, brushing past the usual barrage of irrelevant policies brandished above. Like most of these articles it's fairly crap, but not crap enough to delete, and should not be merged back to the main article, from which it was split off. Actually this one is much better than most. Johnbod (talk) 15:06, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - List of trivia with no sourced content actually covering the overall topic. The majority of the listed items are extremely trivial, and the sourcing is poor, so nothing should be preserved or Merged. Rorshacma (talk) 05:00, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There's a reason these popular culture sections get split out of the main article. It's because they are full of crap and this is an easy way to clean up the main article without causing a fight. Merging it back in is entirely unproductive. There is no encyclopaedic discussion whatsoever of the portrayal of Amish in popular culture, just a list of plot snippets. A proper encyclopaedia article would make connections between these disparate works. The absence of that makes this a classic case of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Piotrus is quite right that an article at this title might be possible. The is The Amish in the American Imagination for a start and The Amish and the Media for seconds. However, there is nothing usable in the current article either in its prose or its references making it a WP:TNT case. SpinningSpark 11:46, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is entirely WP:OR, and the policy says that we shouldn't have articles about topics that aren't covered in reliable independent sources. The Amish are definitely a suitable topic, but this spinoff article does not have any WP:SIGCOV. It's conceivable that the sources are out there, but there would be nothing to WP:PRESERVE from this WP:OR, as the article is entirely material that Wikipedia is WP:NOT.

Contributor pieces aren't reliable per WP:FORBESCON and the Atlanta Blackstar article is hardly independent coverage.

the Atlanta Blackstar article is hardly independent coverage. What do you mean by this? Also, there is no policy that I know of that an article must be written by staff. Many publications use freelance writers. And what's wrong with being a "digital content creator?" Anyone writing for digital news is a digital content creator, are they not? Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 16:49, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Our entire WP:RS policy covers this and we do not consider contributor pieces to be reliable sources, that applies beyond just Forbes. And no, PR marketers aka "digital content creators" aren't beacons of journalism. In any case, all of these "articles" about him, even if they were reliable, which they are not, amount to nothing more than WP:BLP1E and hardly even that. PRAXIDICAE💕 16:50, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It has not had indepth coverage over an extended period of time. There are hundreds of thousands of works of public art out there and it seems that the coverage of this one is trivial, the citations seem to reflect be the same report covered by the New York Post (not a great source) and the last citation is a mirror of that as indicated at the bottom of the "article": This entry was posted in nypost.

This fails as a list of people (empty list) and it fails as an encyclopaedic discussion of the name per se. The content consists only of its (unsourced) meaning in Turkish (the link to the town should be a "see also" at best).

We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic.

  The review notes: "It's fun to watch the kid teams work together to make the least amount of noise -- they take it very seriously and it's a premise that hasn't really been used on any other game show. There's a good amount of tension, making the show suspenseful, but not too much that younger kids can't handle it. The Noise is a simple idea, but it's a lot of fun and kid viewers will see how focus and teamwork can bring about success."

  The article provides 222 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Silence will be golden as FMNA premieres The Noise, a new high-tech game show that will challenge kids to be quiet. In addition, the company will premiere a kids' version of the cherished game show format Beat the Clock. The Noise, premiering on Universal Kids on Monday, October 23 at 7pm ET/6pm Central with back-to-back episodes, is based on a popular game show format stemming from FremantleMedia Asia's partnership with Fuji TV in Japan. Hosted by Faruq Tauheed (BattleBots), kids will be challenged to complete various tasks without making a sound. Two teams comprised of two kids each will compete against each other with the ultimate sound detector, the "Noise-O-Meter," constantly listening. Each challenge involves the kids completing a task, such as opening a bag of chips or hanging a set of wind chimes, as quietly as possible. ..."

The less noise they make, the more points they earn. FMNA’s Mullin and Joni Day are executive producers and Michael Dietz is the showrunner. A Noise-O-Meter app on iTune and Google Play allows families to keep the silent challenge going after the show ends."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Noise to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Keep-leaning - He's in Arabic language news as follows:

here primary source
The only Egyptian and Arab in the German Space (does include an interview)
Egyptian astronaut Ahmed Farid: NASA borrowed the name “Mars” from the ancient Egyptians I think this is significant coverage

In summary two of these involve him, but there is also details that are editorial, so I think overall this could justify a keep. I am unqualified to assess Arabic language media, so I'm assuming they are reliable, they seem reliable to me. CT55555 (talk) 02:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like most of those links are either direct interview of him, or just as a minor figure. I do not know about anything about Egypt; I am from Nepal myself, but believe me when I say that in developing countries like ours, a person would get an interview and be featured in multiple news articles just for getting a scholarship in MIT (which I have once witnessed) and then fade into obscurity after that. Having said that, it would probably be better if someone from Wikiproject Egypt could provide a comment or information in this regard. Shirsakbc (talk) 21:54, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There's a few well-cited works (336,122,91) and a clutch of respectable ones (59,55,51,40); most date from c. 1970–1995 when citation density was considerably lower, particularly given that the topic isn't all that citation heavy, afaik. The subject looks to have multiple books, which should be checked for reviews; one is held by 1,294 libraries. Will try to do more research on this in the morning. ETA He wrote the (long) entry on the African Union in The Princeton Encyclopedia of the World Economy which doesn't speak directly to our guidelines but suggests he's regarded as an expert.

Comment: I've found minimal coverage, so a plausible redirect to either List of programs broadcast by MTV or The Bomb-itty of Errors might be in order. The most in-depth coverage I've found is:

Are you looking for something different to watch on TV? Are you tired of the same old formula television? Then tune in to MTV's newest series, "Scratch & Burn." A combination of sketch comedy, rap and hip-hop, "Scratch & Burn" is an entertaining half-hour of music and laughs.

The show stars Jaq, Dragon, GQ and Red Dragon, otherwise known as the Bomb-itty boys. This talented troupe writes and performs its own material. They have a unique comedy style and irreverent take on everything from pop culture to politics, bringing a welcome freshness to television comedy and to MTV, which, until the success of "The Osbournes," was beginning to look like a parody of itself.

"Scratch & Burn" is new, creative and entertaining. It's like a "Saturday Night Live" for a new generation. When you are home on Saturday night and wondering what to watch, flip over to MTV and try on "Scratch & Burn" for size. The show airs Saturday nights at 9:30 and repeats Sundays at 11:30 a.m. and Fridays at 6:30 p.m.^[1]

There is also a brief mention in an article about the creators of The Bomb-itty of Errors: "That is where the story went a little off the tracks; their MTV show, an attempt to translate Bomb-itty to a televised sketch comedy format, did not take off. Called Scratch and Burn, it crashed and burned, lasting just five episodes."^[2] So a plausible redirect to The Bomb-itty of Errors might be warranted, with an added sentence or two on the legacy and spin-off. But List of programs broadcast by MTV might be more appropriate if the TV show is substantially different from the play, which seems likely. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:02, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
